You are either with God or you are with the devil. The decision you are making concerning spiritual things will effect you now in this life and in the life to come. BE CAREFUL WITH THE DECISIONS YOU ARE MAKING.
Say NO to the devil. When you say NO, that’s all he can do. BE SURE YOU QUOTE THE WORD OF GOD TO him. Then begin to PRAISE & WORSHIP God. This will cause confusion to come on the enemy. REMEMBER YOU ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR IN CHRIST JESUS !!! Having done all to stand then stand.
THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH !!! Have you ever had a midnight hour? What did you do? Acts 16:25 & 26 tells us that Paul & Silas prayed and sang praises unto God in their midnight hour. What song did you sing? When you learn to pray and sing in your midnight hour, you will discover that GRACE will start to work on your behalf. Just like Paul and Silas, you will see your prison doors open!!! Not only will the doors open, but the bands will be loosed. You will be set FREE!!! PRAISE THE NAME OF JESUS!!!
KEEP THE WORD OF GOD IN YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR MOUTH. If you don’t want, what you hear yourself saying, don’t plant the seed by speaking it. GUARD your mouth. God honors His word. If you want God to honor your words, you will have to start speaking His word over yourself.
The Spirit of God has been sent to:
1. Draw you to Jesus.
2. Redeem you by the Blood of the Lamb.
3. Fill you & empower you for service.
4. Prepare you and make you ready to meet God face to face!
5. Make you ready for Heaven.
LEARN TO COOPERATE WITH GOD
In order for you to be able to cooperate with God, you will have to become a person of the Word. ARE YOU READING YOUR BIBLE? ARE YOU PRAYING? DO YOU OBEY THE PROMPTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? If you are, GOOD. If not, START TODAY!!!
When we study together the truths of God and His Word, don’t we have fun?
__________YES or __________NO ?
God has saved us for a purpose! We are not saved just to struggle and try to hold on until the grave or the rapture. When Jesus appears we are to be working for the Kingdom and occupying till He comes. We are called to invade the enemies influence. Are you being used by God to make a difference or are you standing by and watching the devil have his way?
Use God’s Word. Speak the Word out loud boldly. Don’t give the devil room to operate. The devil has been coming against us long enough. Let’s start standing on the Word with the whole armor of God on and fight the good fight of faith. Let’s PRAISE the GOD who is EL SHADDAI – the One who is more than enough!!!
In the book of Judges chapter 6, God talks to Gideon. He tells Gideon to go and save Israel. Gideon is like us, full of excuses. The family is poor, he was the least in the family, he was afraid and so forth. God did not except Gideon’s excuses. God gave Gideon a word. We need to get before God, until we get a word from Him!!!
Let’s get tired of just reading how someone in the past did a great work for God. Let’s start seeking God with our whole heart and discover what we can do for Him. I want to do something for God. Do you? It’s time we rise up and start to accomplish the will of God for our own lives. WE MUST shake ourselves out of the slump we are in and stand tall for the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is here to help us do and find the perfect will of God.
God knows where we are spiritually. The devil also knows where you are spiritually. Do you know where you are spiritually? Find your place. Know where you are, not where you think you are. You can’t fool God or the devil. So don’t fool yourself. If you are not reading your Bible and Praying you are not where you should be with God. Some where down the road, you will come face to face with where you really are and if you are not in the Word of God, you will be in BIG trouble. Do you want to win? Then prepare yourself. Be ready for battle.
The Lord will test your obedience. He will not tempt you, but He will test you. He will give you something to do and then watch to see if you will follow instructions. When we learn to obey, it will bring victory and blessings.
God wants to anoint you. The anointing is for ministry. The anointing is for service not for show. The anointing is important, but the most important thing in your life is your relationship with God. We need the anointing, but we also need to be strong in our inner man. We need to be strong for ourselves and for others. Our lives affect many. We need to be strong. The only way we can be strong and stay strong is to be committed to the Word of God. Are you committed?
HOW TO BUILD THE HUMAN SPIRIT
James 1:12-15
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation.”
(NAS) “Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial.”
Enduring and persevering speak to us about going through and coming out victorious. The Lord does not want us to run from what we have to deal with. What makes you strong is what you do in your crises. Do you use the Word and pray, or cry and worry and make bad confessions?
You build your spirit by:
1. Staying in the Word of God
2. Praying fervently
3. Surrendering everything to God
4. Keeping correct associations
If we stay in the Word, we will bear fruit. The Word has life and power. It is a living Word. When you begin to apply the Word to your personal life, you will begin to see a change in yourself. You will notice the change. You will see your own desires will change. You will begin to want to be like Jesus and you will want to do the will of God.
IF YOU WANT TO WALK AND LIVE IN VICTORY, YOU MUST SURRENDER ALL OF YOU TO GOD. UNSURRENDERED AREAS IN YOUR LIFE BLOCK THE FLOW OF HIS POWER AND MAKE YOU UNFRUITFUL.
IT IS MY PRAYER THAT YOU HAVE BEEN Challenged TODAY. We are in this thing together. We must be faithful to God all the time.
