WARRIOR OR WORRIER, YOU CAN’T BE BOTH

Satan is not smart. Can you imagine a fellow still fighting when he’s already whipped?  If you don’t believe it, look in the back of The Book.  Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony…”

And 1 John 4:4 says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.” Victory is yours!

Don’t worry about fighting the enemy, Jesus defeated him over two thousand years ago. You must resist him by using the word of God and fight the good fight of faith. Talk about God’s Word. Talk about the goodness of the Lord. Fill your heart and your mouth with joy and praises for the Lord. Thank Him right now for answering your prayers. As you do this, your faith will grow by leaps and bounds. Don’t wait until you see; the victory, praise the Lord now!

Jas. 4:7 Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1Ti. 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,

Faith doesn’t ask for the possible things; faith is demanding the impossible. When you pray, you aren’t praying for the possible.  In other words, you aren’t praying for something you can get yourself. You are praying for something that only God can deliver.

Luke 18:27 And he said, the things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Jer. 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

DO NOT DOUBT WHO YOU ARE

The authority you have in My word is as real and solid as the earth on which you walk.  As you step on the earth, you do not doubt it will hold. Why do you doubt that My word will hold, I am the One who created the Earth.  I have given you all you need to live in godliness and holiness. Breathe in My authority for My promises, My covenant is everlasting and will remain sure until the end of days.

My child, do not doubt who you are.

You are seated in heavenly places.  You are the head and not the tail.  You are above and not beneath.  You are heirs to the Father.  You are healed by My wounds.  You are clothed in My righteousness.  You are victorious in life.  You are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and as He lives in you and works from within to bring forth signs and wonders.

EMBRACE WHERE I HAVE YOU

I know it’s hard being where you are right now. Everything within you is screaming, “Enough already. I cannot do this anymore. When can I move on from here?” My child, can you honestly admit that you are ready to move on? Is your heart filled with thanksgiving? Do you want Me to answer that for you?  You have yet to embrace where I have you; and until you can, you won’t be able to move on to the next level.

As I have told you before, everything that you go through as a purpose, and there is a purpose for where you are. You say to Me that you are grateful for what I have done in your life. However, your actions do not reflect the heart of one filled with gratitude.

Let Me remind you of another time when you were seeking Me for a breakthrough to a situation that held you captive.  After a season of praying about what you were going through; one day, you woke up and said, “Lord, nevertheless, not My will; Thy will be done. I just want to please you.” Immediately after you said those words, things fell into place. Strongholds were destroyed. The chains that held you bound were broken by a heart filled with thanksgiving for Me. All you wanted was to please Me, and nothing else mattered. Can you say you are in that same place now?

FILL YOUR HEART WITH MY LOVE

When you are lonely, why do you turn to so many other things in the hope that they will fulfill your needs? Yes, for a time they do. However, just as suddenly as they came into your life, they leave. Then you find that the loneliness is still there, it never left, just hidden for a season. Why won’t you come to Me? Why not allow Me to fill you with My love, so that you are full to overflowing with My love, and you won’t ever be lonely again.

FAITH IS YOUR WEAPON, USE IT

I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying; you have forgotten to come to Me in your time of need. Come in faith. Come boldly before My throne, believing that I will interact on your behalf.  Let faith arise in your soul. Let it rise to new heights. Come and be renewed; come and be healed; come and be the child that I called you to be.  Come and walk with Me in a close relationship and be one with Me in Spirit.

Come forth, not as a victim, but as a victor. Walk in the land that I have provided for you. Walk in the faith that I have given you and cause it to move the mountains standing in your way. My child, I gave you a measure of faith, but you watered it, nurtured it, walked with it, and it is a mighty weapon.  Your faith is a weapon that will cause you to prevail in during hard times. Therefore, use your weapon of faith.

Come, get up from your place of stagnation. Come unto Me with the full assurance that I’ve worked things out.  Raise your shield of faith, and let a shout of victory come forth from your heart this day. This is your time; for the seeds which were planted in your heart are producing a harvest in your life. Now is the time for the manifestation of My promises to burst forth. So, come; come boldly in faith and expect to receive.

Read and Meditate on His Word:

Psa. 46:1, Heb. 4:16, Rom. 12:3, 2Co 10:4-5, Eph. 6:16

GET READY TO BE SURPRISED!

I am going to bring you forth into this new season with many surprises. The surprises that will come forth will bless you as well as others. However, don’t be surprised that the work of the enemy will continue to come against you. Don’t lose heart, and don’t give up on the path that I have prepared for you. Keep your eyes on Me and press towards the prize that’s waiting for you and be ready to receive.

Don’t try to get ahead of Me. Stay on the path that I have laid out for you, and you will be blessed in many ways. Oh, the abundance of My kingdom is coming forth in your life in ways that you have not yet seen.  Therefore, be encouraged, and don’t be disheartened by the things you’ll have to endure to receive the promises.  The temporary discomfort can’t compare to the blessings. So, please follow where I lead.

BE WATCHFUL AND PRAY

You seem unable to focus.  Too many things to consider and circumstances to deal with have spread you thin and worn you out.  This is no time to get bogged down.  Watch; pray, and gather yourself up. It’s time to prioritize and get focused on what really matters.  Remember, procrastination is your enemy, so do what you can to stay on top of the things that require your attention.  Be watchful; pray, and stay focused on Me, and I will give direction and wisdom so that you can stay on course.
