Throughout our lives as believers, a very important message we can “preach” to those around us is the example of our lifestyle. We don’t react or breakdown under pressure, we stand on the faithfulness of God’s Word in every situation and see the deliverance of the Lord!
We may think that our boss controls our fate and our income, but that is not the case in the Kingdom of God. The seed principle God initiated at the beginning of time is still in operation. Whatever we sow we will reap. Mix the seed of diligent work with the seed of your money sown, and you will have a powerful seed combination working in God’s soil!
When we cast our cares over to the Lord in a prayer of commitment, our faith must attach to that prayer. We have decided we will NOT carry that care, and we determine to ask God for what we want! This is where the power of your prayer and your relationship with God begins to operate!
There are times when prayer is sweet communion with the Father and Jesus. There are other times, such as the ones we’re currently experiencing, when we must bind and loose things on this earth. God is expecting US to address the mountain, not address Him about the mountain!
God is NOT waiting for you to make a mistake so He can put a calamity or sickness on you. It’s the devil who walks around like a roaring lion, seeking who he can devour (1 Peter 5:8)! The devil is the one trying to pervert the Word of God with evil schemes and tricks, trying to convince you that what Jesus has already done for you isn’t enough, or not really for you. Stop listening to him and focus on what God says instead!
Train your thoughts on JESUS! Change your words to what GOD says! The scriptures are clear, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7 NIV).
Character is forged in the arena of temptation. We are all tempted to be arrogant, selfish, lustful, and angry, as well as other destructive forces that can work on our soul. The legacy of a man or woman is the character in which they handled their temptations.
Many people believe in Jesus but are scared of the devil. If you are born again, the devil should be afraid of you! Why? The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead NOW LIVES IN YOU! You are saved—you are healed—you have been delivered! You have been set free to walk in the same power and authority that Jesus did in the earth!
We’re living in a day when all we’re hearing from the world is talk of what we don’t have, used to have, would like to have or should have. In the midst of this “lack-speak,” It’s very important to take stock of what you DO have. If you are a child of God, then you know you have Jesus Christ living in you, which means ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
So many voices in the current events we face today are shouting, “It’s too hard! You don’t have what it takes! You’re not going to make it!” At that moment when things are hard—when you feel like you will fail and you want to quit—lock down on the Word of God and do NOT give up. EVER!
