Dear
Brothers & Sisters in My Family,
Happy New Year to one and ALL.
This year, and until Jesus comes for us, we need to ROAR at
the enemy, who’s attacking us, our families, neighbors and churches. I
started this blog in August 2011 and for those of you, who have not been with
us that long; I wrote a book “God’s POWER AVAILABLE TO US” that
tells you how to kick the enemy in his buttocks [butt for short - if he has
one?]. Unfortunately, I went to the blog page, Ezra 7:10 section and none of those blogs are still
there.
So I thought, since Jesus completed His tasks. To
help you continue His work, which is what we're suppose to do, I’d share “how
to” kick the twerp [enemy] out of your way. Hope it helps you, as it
helped me through the years.
From Chapter 4. THE
POWER AND PROVISIONS FROM GOD.............pages
61-87
Jeremiah 27:5 “I
have made the earth, the men and the beasts which are on the face of the earth
by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and I will give it to the one who
is pleasing in My sight.”
Matthew 10:1 “And having
summoned His twelve disciples, He gave them authority over unclean
spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.”
Deuteronomy 8:3b “....man
does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that
proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.”
Deuteronomy 28:2 “And
all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if
you will obey the Lord your God.”
Deuteronomy 28:8 “The
Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in
all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land
which the Lord your God gives you.”
The reason this book is called “God’s Power Available to
Us” is because the power available, will only work if we use it. God
said that He’ll give power to the ones who are pleasing in His sight. But, who
can please Him when we are so imperfect? You can! By faith, believing He is
able to do what He says. It’s mandatory that we learn to accept and work in
the spiritual realm even though we cannot see it. As long as we continue to
walk in the flesh it will be impossible
YOUR HEART REVEALS THE POWER WITHIN YOU?
It’s the same today. When we speak, we loose
the spiritual forces to accomplish what we confess. Know that in the flesh,
our spirits need to be refreshed so we won’t become weakened. So enjoy what God
has given you and learn to rest in Him so He can strengthen you with His Joy.
He’s been there and done that. His six days were 6,000 years to us. Now that’s
a time zone!
[2 Peter 3:8 NASB] “But do not let
this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one
day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.”
[Nehimiah 8:10 RSV] Then he said to them,
"Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions
to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy
to our Lord; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is
your strength.”
I DON’T WANT TO TAKE A NAP!
Exodus 34:21 “You shall work six
days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and
harvest you shall rest.”
Psalms 37:7-8 “Rest in the Lord
and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers
in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do
not fret, it leads only to evildoing.”
I want you to know, that
you must rest even in your busiest times. In fact God commands it. It’s hard work fighting God’s enemy, renewing
your mind, putting your body under submission, learning what the Holy Spirit
has to teach you, and finally standing on His Word while you live on earth.
As a child, because of
polio, I had to take more naps then my other four sisters. Needless to say, I wasn’t a happy camper. Today, I look forward to resting -- not by
taking a nap, but in contemplation of what the Lord has done. It refreshes my soul, brings joy and strengthens
my spirit when I see the path the Lord has led me on. Not to mention, it gives me a quiet time to
hear His voice for instruction. I can’t
tell you how weary I get sometimes. Then someone will call and we’ll start
talking about the Lord and its like someone gave me a shot of adrenaline. Now I’m able to keep on going.
Many ministers give to
everyone and neglect to refill themselves.
That gives the devil a legal foothold in their lives. Their ministry and family start having major
problems, because they start reacting to problems instead of acting on His
word. It is not God’s will! God said to rest one of the seven days, even
in the busiest times of harvest. So do
it! You can’t run a race if you’re run
down, let alone win; and I can assure you God plans to win.
Go to God. Ask Him to
help you rest and replenish yourself.
Remove the thoughts stopping you from resting or any worry you may have,
so you can be strengthened and renewed in His perfect peace, that surpasses ALL
understanding.
MANIFEST THE POWER OF GOD IN YOUR
LIFE!
Genesis 1:2 “And the earth was formless and void, and
darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving
over the surface of the waters.”
Luke 10:22 “All things have been handed over to Me
by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and
who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal
Him.”
Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday
and today, yes and forever.”
It’s the same today. When we speak, we loose the spiritual forces
to accomplish what we confess. Know that
in the flesh, our spirits need to be refreshed so we won’t become
weakened. So enjoy what God has given
you and learn to rest in Him so He can strengthen you. He’s been there and done that. His six days were 6,000 years to us. Now that’s a time zone!
SPIRITUAL HELP IS AVAILABLE!
Daniel 10:12 “Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid,
Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on
understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your
words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.”
Isaiah 37:36 “Then the angel of the Lord went out, and struck 185,000
in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning,
behold, all of these were dead.”
Those who are not in the
ministry, but financially support various ministries, should be praying and
interceding to uplift the spiritual leaders both, in those ministries and
nation. Your financial support is
needed, but they also need you to loose angels on their behalf, to protect and
guide them while they work in the devil’s territory. As you see in Daniel, your words are heard by God and He answers those, who have
a heart for Him.
Those of you, who think
your one prayer won’t accomplish much, let me tell you - one prayer can send
one angel to any situation and, as we see in Isaiah, that one angel can handle
185,000 people, all by himself! That’s
why the devil hates it when we pray.
Hebrews 1:14 “Are they not all ministering
spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will
inherit salvation?”
Psalms 103:20 “Bless the Lord, you His angels,
Mighty in strength, who perform His word. Obeying the voice of His word!
We must pray according to
the word [not necessarily, word for word], to get the job done. Angels go forth, or move when we confess the
word in our life or situation. So
victory is conditional based upon the prayers of the saints - that’s you!
In James 5:16
we’re told that the prayers of the righteous reveal much. Unfortunately, many are being deceived by the
enemy. The twerp (aka, lucifer, satan,
devil, demon, enemy, etc.) has taught us for generations, to pray [confess]
the problem rather than the answer. God
already knows what’s been done. He wants
you to overcome the situation by praying and believing in the answer. That’s why it’s so important for you to seek
His Word and find out what He says.
PROTECTED FROM THE CRIB!
Luke 17:1 “And He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable
that stumbling blocks should come, but woe to him through whom
they come!”
Psalms 8:2 “From the mouth of
infants and nursing babes Thou hast established strength, because of Thine
adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.”
Hebrews 5:13-14, “For everyone
who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness,
for he is a babe. But solid
food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses
trained to discern good and evil.”
When you have a child in
your home, don’t you remove anything that’s dangerous to the child? If you have stairs, you protect the baby by
putting up a gate. God does the same
thing. He knew the enemy would attack,
so He put a hedge of protection around you (Job 1:10 ). As
we mature in the meat [application] of the word He gives us authority over His
enemy and the wisdom to know how to use it.
Although I cover what
Jesus did in greater detail in Chapter 11, I think its important to know, that
growing up is mandatory. When we first
become born-again, or a new baby in Christ, He protects us from our lack of
knowledge as we learn. Think about it. Even a two year old must eventually become
potty trained.
[Hosea
4:6 NASB] “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because
you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My
priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget
your children.”
During His life, Jesus
taught us about the will of the Father.
Before Jesus died, He removed our sin [bondage] by taking on our
punishment, correction, healing, and forgiveness. With God, we start out new, meaning that satan
has no hold on us. He also has no
authority over us, and we truly become free to make decisions concerning how we
want to live.
Psalms 34:7 “The angel
of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues
them.”
Matthew 18:10 “See
that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you,
that their angels in Heaven continually behold the face of My Father
who is in Heaven.”
Not only are we rescued
as children, but we are reminded that their angel, is continually before
God. So we’re never left alone. Just to give you an idea of how an angel can
work, the devil tried to kill me twice, then tried to change my circumstances
so I would not fulfill my calling. But I
was protected.
The first time he
attacked me, I was only three and diagnosed with polio. In 1954, children were dying or crippled for
life from this disease. But, I’m happy
to report that I’m still alive and kickin’ with only a little arthritis in my
body to show for it.
The second time, I was
about four and a half (and oh so cute).
A man walking down our street, decided to take me home. He liked blonde, blue eyed, little
girls. Fortunately my Uncle Rick saw him
taking me a block away from my house and brought me home.
Lastly, I was engaged to
marry the wrong man, who would have made my life a living hell. I praise the Lord, that He eventually sent
Bill and we had 25 years together. In
each instance, my life would have drastically changed for the worse had I not
be watched over. But because of the
angels protecting me, I am able to say that it did not. I will in Christ accomplish what God has
pre-ordained me to do – share the Word with you. Amen!
[Jeremiah 1:5a NASB] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And
before you were born I consecrated you;”
OUR ACTIONS SHOULD EMULATE CHRIST!
John 14:12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who
believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and
greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.”
Have you ever wondered
what greater works we would do? I did,
because I couldn’t imagine anything greater then raising the dead! I knew that the multitudes of Jesus’ day were
smaller versus those we face today, but I felt there was more to it than
that. Praise the Lord, for the Holy
Spirit, in His wisdom and my ignorance, told me that Jesus could not minister
salvation. Jesus could say what was to
come, but until the fulfillment of His death and resurrection, the provision would
not be made. Truly salvation is the
greatest work of God. Everything else is
the manifestation of His love provided to help us overcome the enemy and this
life. That's what we're to continue sharing, until He returns. THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!
The greatest example we
have to follow is the life of Christ. If
we’re doing it right, the same signs and wonders will manifest for us as it did
for the disciples. If we’re doing it
right, we’ll be at peace while the world is in chaos. The first step in doing it right believes in
Christ and the works He did. Just take
that leap of faith and believe. Then,
what Jesus did, you will do too!
Matthew 8:8 “...just
say the word, and my servant will be healed.”
Luke 17:6 “And the Lord
said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to
this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and be planted in the sea;” and it would
obey you.”
Do you remember the story
about the centurion in Matthew 8:5-13? The centurion compared Jesus to someone in
authority like himself and told Jesus, “just say the word.” The amazing part of this story is that Jesus
“marveled” when He heard this. Why? Because He didn’t think anyone, let alone a
gentile, understood the authority and power of God‘s Word on the earth. Jesus said that the centurion had “great
faith,”
all because the centurion told Jesus to “speak the Word” and it would be done. That’s right, the Centurion just
believed.
To the centurion it was second nature to give an order and know it
would be carried out. Just as its second
nature for us to know that what goes up, must come down. So how do we overcome our nature and reverse
our mind set to be like the centurion?
Our problem is that we
worry about the laws of nature instead of the laws of God. So we literally box God in and tie His hands
when we pray. We need to stop telling
God how to get the job done. God always
knows the best way. If we’d just ask Him to do it, letting Him decide how, we’d
see our prayers answered so much quicker.
We also need to stop worrying about how
He’s going to do it and just rest in Him. Worrying is from the enemy and he uses it to
attack us. The twerp knows that if we
doubt the answer, it will cancel the prayer.
You want great
faith? Then start believing God can and
will do what He says, and give the command in Jesus’ Name so all the forces in Heaven
can start moving to correct the circumstance.
Your faith starts as “a mustard seed,” the smallest seed on earth. But you will grow to move mountains as you
practice and see it come to pass. It
will become second nature to you too as you build your FAITH. Never doubt that God is REAL and that our ONLY
choices are only Heaven or hell for eternity.
OVERCOMING TEMPTATIONS – YOU CAN
DO IT!
Matthew 4:1 “Then Jesus was led up by the
Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.”
James 1:2-4 “Consider it all joy, my brethren,
when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your
faith produces endurance. And
let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and
complete, lacking in nothing.”
I Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you
but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will
not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with
the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be
able to endure it.”
Tell me, if you didn’t
have any problems to deal with, how could you become a better person? How would you learn, grow, or gain
wisdom? Would you spend time in the Word,
seeking Him, if you didn’t have problems?
I don’t think so.
So don’t feel bad
while you’re going through the valley, but rejoice because Jesus shows us the
way out. All temptations are common to
man and God will never allow you to be tempted beyond what you can endure.
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION HAVE
NOTHING ON GOD!
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 “For though we walk in the flesh, we
do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare
are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of
fortresses. We are destroying
speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of
God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of
Christ,”
All the problems you’re
having are not, I repeat not, because you live on this earth. It started where you can’t see, touch, or
feel - in the spiritual realm. It
started in Heaven, because satan thought he was as perfect as God. The twerp is attacking you because you freely
decided to follow Jesus and he wants you in Sheol [hell] with him.
Notice, that although we
live in the flesh, we should not use man made weapons to fight with, because
they are not powerful enough. Only God’s
weapons, His spiritual warfare, can do all that and more. Spiritual warfare is done with your mouth, by
speaking the words of God which send ministering spirits to get the job done
and by prayer. You may be stuck in a
physical body but you can release a spiritual force with your mouth that will
win the battle every time.
satan the dragon is so
enraged, that he’s made a vendetta against the offspring of Israel and anyone
who follows Jesus (Revelations 12:17). The devil wants back into Heaven and control
over the earth. The spiritual war
between God and satan is being fought here on earth now, by you and I.
Think about it, the
reason God let satan attack Job was to prove, that Job would not turn
away. Do we not have the same situation
here? Your choice is freely made, just
like Job’s. It’s based on what’s inside
your heart, just like Job’s. So know the
twerp’s plans. Because only God’s
weapons can and will work against the enemy.
See the devil for what he is. His
only purpose is to separate you from God…
• Second -- The enemy wants to keep you out of
the Word and ignorant. After all, as
I’ve asked before, would you want someone to learn that they have authority and
power over you?
•
Third -- The twerp wants to make you miserable; creating havoc in your
life, so you will just give up.
HIS QUALITIES MAKE US STRONG!
2 Peter 1:5-9 “Now for this very reason also,
applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral
excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge; and in
your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control,
perseverance; and in your perseverance, godliness;
and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly
kindness, love. For if
these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you
neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these qualities is
blind or short sighted, having forgotten his purification from his
former sins.”
Why go to all this
trouble in your life? Because once God
has revealed a truth to you, you become accountable. When you stop obeying what you’ve been
taught, you’re in disobedience, which gives the twerp a legal foothold and the
authority to attack. Our Father does not
expect us to get all of 2 Peter 1:5-9 above in the first day, He knows it takes
time, but these are some of the basic steps we should be acting on; hopefully
yearly if possible, after we get to the age of understanding.
The quality Peter is
talking about here is the maturing of your spirit, soul and body each leading
to another level of growth. For when you
diligently seek God, the Holy Spirit will teach you the morals of Christ,
someone who cares about others. Once
you’ve mastered this, you’ll be able to persevere and stand when the attacks
come. As a leader, you’ll be able to
stand up to the bullies and devils of this world. You’ll help your brothers and sisters
overcome their adversities. It won’t
matter if they’re; male, female, Jew, Greek even if they’re saved or unsaved,
what church they go to, nothing will matter except that you LOVE your neighbor as
yourself. What better example of
becoming Christ like?
Moses had to cover his
face so the people would not see the fading away of the presence of God in
him. But we as Christians are blessed by
the transformation, from glory to glory from the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18 ).
We’re already created in His image, and now we get to act like Him
too. This is the glory of God: the one
who has freely chosen to follow Christ.
Isaiah 55:11 “So shall My word be which goes forth
from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing
what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent
it.”
Everyone has heard about
the “armor of God” taught in Ephesians
6:10-17, and we all know the importance of armor for protection. But what is the battle really about?
Ephesians 6:12 “For
our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against
the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness,
against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the Heavenly places.”
Because we have to fight
against what we can’t see, our armor consists of…
-- Covering yourself in the truth of His Word so you won’t
be deceived by lies.
-- Having your heart in right standing with God, so your
words will have power.
-- Walking in the Word - in love, which will move
mountains.
-- Trusting in God’s Word, which will shield you from the
enemy’s missiles.
-- Your head is protected by the blood of the Lamb, your
savior Jesus Christ.
-- Your power is the sword of the Spirit which is the Word
of God.
To me, these six
principles define what John 15:7
says, “If you abide in Me, and My
words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.”
Whatever is a big word.
Yet, by the time you’ve completed putting on the whole armor of God
“whatever” will become child’s play. I
say that with all sincerity, because at that point, you’ll only ask for whatsoever
will accomplish the will of God. Amen!
YOUR WEAPON IS IN GOD’S WORD!
Ecclesiastes 9:18 “Wisdom
is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.”
Jeremiah 51:20 “He says, “You are
My warclub, My weapon of war; And with you I
shatter nations, and with you I destroy kingdoms.”
Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon that
is formed against you shall prosper; And every tongue
that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants
of the Lord, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.”
John 17:17 “Sanctify
them in the truth; Thy Word is truth.”
If one sinner can destroy
so much good, then one sin, whether or not we are aware of it, can prevent your
blessings from flowing. So seek
wisdom. Study the four gospels and see
how the twerp attacked Jesus throughout His ministry. Then do what Jesus and the disciples did to
resist him and he will flee.
Since the war was here on
earth, you are God’s warclub, His weapon of war. With you He will bring down the strongholds
of satan. It just takes you on the same
team, using the same play book as God. Once you realize God will not let any weapon
formed destroy you, you’ll start attacking the enemy instead of defending your
rights. So use the Word wisely and give
the twerp a black eye.
The word sanctify
in the Greek means to render knowledge, to separate from things
against God, and to purify.
We need to keep in mind that the world is controlled by satan and he is
a liar. So we need a base that is
purified to show us the truth, and that base is His Word. The Word should be our guide in all our
growth and actions.
OUR INSTRUCTIONS FROM JESUS!
Acts 1:7-8 “He said to them, “It is not for you to know
times [dates] or epochs [seasons] which the Father has fixed by His
own authority; but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit
has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest
part of the earth.”
According to this
scripture, every person who has the Holy Spirit has power. And we know that every person who accepts
Christ receives the Holy Spirit. So when
God tells you to do something, He’s already empowered you. You just have to obey and “go forth,” not in
fear, but in the assurance that God has called you and will direct your path.
Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and
the Holy Spirit,”
I John 5:8 “For there are three that bear witness,
the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three
are in agreement.”
The great commission that
Jesus gave His disciples is still in effect for those who believe in
Christ. Today, we are to tell everyone
about Jesus and what He has done for us.
Ask if they want to receive Jesus as their savior, and take them through
the sinners’ prayer. Then get them into
a local church and baptized in water and fire in the name of the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
Luke 10:8-9 “And whatever city you enter,
and they receive you, eat what is set before you;
And heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, The
kingdom of God has come near to you.”
When God sends you out,
don’t be fussy about what is served you, but rejoice that the people you are
ministering to are sharing what they have.
I know this will break your heart, but most of us will not go to Hawaii
or Paris to minister the
Gospel. Maybe, you’ll go to the poor
nations or the back streets. But
wherever God sends you, joyfully accept their hospitality and minister God’s
love. Love is why Jesus died for all
mankind -- so all could be saved.
When you preach and lay
hands on the sick, this allows the Lord to manifest Himself to them. God’s power is released through you and His Word. When you have a headache, it’s not
possible for you to concentrate on anything is it? It’s the same for anyone in bondage, being
controlled by something that is not their free will. You must break the devil’s darkness first, by revealing the light, of His healing or deliverance. Then they will be able to hear about our
living God and Savior Jesus Christ. This
is how the captives are set free!
Mark 3:14 -15 “And He appointed
twelve, that they might be with Him, and that He might send them out to
preach, And to have authority to cast out the demons.”
Hebrews 2:4 “God also bearing witness with them,
both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts
of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.”
Do you see the necessity to having signs and wonders follow you?
That’s right, only “those who believe” will be able to have this power in
His Name. Many accept the power in
Jesus, but cannot accept that God would use them. That’s why the harvest is plentiful, but the
laborers are so few.
If you’re confident in
what God has called you to do, then go into all the nations (Mark 16:15 ).
If you’re confident in your calling, but not in your actions, then seek
His Word and the truth will set you free.
You can also find other verses about the signs and wonders in Acts 4:30, Acts 5:12, Romans 15:19 , and
2 Corinthians 12:12, just to
name a few.
John 4:48 “Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless
you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.”
In the Book of John,
we’re told about an official who asked Jesus to heal his son. Jesus knew that the hardened, corrupted, and
broken people in the world would only believe in God, if His miracles were
manifested. So don’t be afraid to pray
for healing of the sick or restoration of the blind. This is how God reveals Himself to
others. Jesus would never send us out
representing Him to fall on our faces.
Don’t be intimidated by what the Lord wants you to do, because you are
just the branch. He is the vine.
He says, in Him you can,
so go out and do His work and signs and wonders will follow you. God is responsible for His Word, not
you. When you get attacked by doubt,
rebuke it like Jesus did. “Begone satan.
I’m about my Father’s work - In Jesus’
name!”
A PROMISE FROM GOD FOR THIS
GENERATION!
We have been lied to over
and over again. We’ve been told that the
Old and New Testament are not for us, they are just the writings of history or
fables of men. If you’ve been plagued
with doubts, I highly recommend Grant Jeffrey’s book The Signature of God. After
reading his book, I guarantee not one doubt will be able to stand in your
mind. You’ll know that the Bible is the Holy
Word of God.
I believe the lies are
why many refuse to read the Bible. Yet from generation to generation this has
been true…
Isaiah 59:21 “And as for Me, this
is My covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My Spirit which is
upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth,
shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of
your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,”
says the Lord “from now and forever.””
So we Christians need to
WAKE UP. We need to be STIRRED UP and ROAR LOUDLY! We need to become modern day Ezra’s and
Paul’s, setting our hearts to learn, practice, and teach what the Holy Spirit
reveals to us in the Word.
God has already given us
His Word. Jesus has already restored us
to God and given us His authority. Both
are sitting together in Heaven, waiting on the Holy Spirit to complete His
teaching and guiding us to a better life in Christ. So all, from the least to the greatest, will
hear of His Name and make a decision to follow God or satan in this last
harvest.
The old saying if you
don’t use it, you loose it, holds true here.
Because those who refuse to apply the teachings of the Bible will not be
able to stand in the times coming. In
the world, it will become harder. In
Christ, when we’ve done all to stand, we will stand.
I’ll end this chapter
with a question only you can answer: What
are you doing with your power from God? If you’re not using it, take one
Scripture you need. Then do what the
Bible says, always remember, with every promise, there is a condition. So make sure you’ve met the condition first.
Mark 4:11 “...To you has been given the mystery
of the kingdom of God; but those who are outside get everything in
parables,”
The only seed that took
root was the seed in good soil. Since
these bodies we live in, are made from the earth’s soil, I’d say this analogy
is perfect.
Mark 4:21 “And He was saying
to them, “A lamp is not brought to be put under a peck-measure, is it, or
under a bed? Is it not brought to
be put on the lampstand?”
Only you and God can
answer where you are. Hiding or shinning
brightly. If you’re being blessed with
His promises, then you’re under construction.
But if you spend your time reacting to situations doing everything in your own strength, then know it’s not His will for
you. He has a better way. How
will you answer?
Next Thursday, we’ll cover THE KEY TO THE FIRST DOOR OF
YOUR AUTHORITY from Chapter 6. Sorry
these are so long, but I believe at the end, you’ll be empowered to [Ephesians 6:13 NASB] “Therefore,
take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil
day, and having done everything, to stand firm.”
…STAND!
Blessings to all who read the blog and keep the Faith being
AMAZED of how much more He has for you, as you seek new goals for
2018. I promise you, there is so much more the Holy Spirit wants to
reveal to you thru His Word. I pray for ALL of you nightly.
