We should be speaking the Word of God out loud! Why? As we hear what we are saying we are increasing in faith and in strength, and can now resist whatever attack is trying to come against us!

Faith is a force that operates apart from the reality of our circumstances. Your present reality may be saying you are out of money, you are sick, you are unemployed, your children are lost—but faith operates in the reality of what GOD says about the situation!

If you haven’t yet developed the habit of taking the “medicine” of God’s Word for health, life, and resisting sickness and disease, you can start today! And when you do, you’ll discover that down the road you’ll be able to walk through the midst any epidemic with no fear!

A ship that remains tied to the dock will eventually be overrun with barnacles and dry rot, a plane that sits idle in the hangar will grow brittle, moldy and its engine will cease to function, and a person without a purpose greater than themselves will weaken in resolve and retire in heart. We must not shrink from the opportunities before us!

The devil doesn’t have any power! He only has the ability to try to focus our attention on a thought or some temporary situation or report, in an attempt to twist and pervert the truth of God’s Word that God has already given to us. Deception is powerless against those who make it their business to learn the truth!

There is a deep peace in knowing that your past is cleansed, forgiven, and redeemed; and an even greater peace knowing your future is secure. Then there’s a third peace in the promise of His presence in our daily lives. Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit to be with us. This is the many-faceted peace that is only found in Him!

Remember, the Bible does NOT say that we are to stand against the power or the strength of the devil. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:11 that we are to stand against the tricks and schemes of the devil. Why? Because deception is his only weapon against us!

Whatever needs you face today, you’re not facing them alone! Jesus said He will be with you always. The two of you together are an inseparable, supernatural team with unseen resources that the world does not have!

We do NOT have to be timid when facing difficulties in life! Because God lives in us and has equipped us with everything we need, we can face life with courage, with determination, and with boldness!

The only weapon the devil has is deception, and his only entrance into a born-again believer is through the mind. He wants you to grab hold of a lie so he can gain a foothold in your life. Let God’s Word wash your thoughts and keep your thinking on right paths!
