God’s Greatest Enemy is not the devil.

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8

The devil is already whipped.  He is not God’s greatest enemy.  God’s greatest enemy is the carnal (unrenewed human mind).  Only here, (in your mind), is what God has done and can do for you limited or brought to pass… manifested.

When you think wrong you believe wrong.  Your “believing” will never exceed the bounds of your “thinking.”  In other words, if you can’t “think it” you can’t “believe it.”  And, when you can’t “believe it” you won’t have it.

When our minds are renewed with the Word we are “transformed” or “transfigured” from the worldly, natural manner of thinking to the spiritual, supernatural manner of thinking.

And as you “think” in your heart, you are.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  Rom 8:7

The carnal mind is enmity against God…

It is God’s biggest enemy

Word for Today:  June 7

Has God ever lost a battle?

Has He ever had to take flight and run because the enemy was too big?  Has He ever conceded or fallen into confusion and despair?  Has He ever been afraid?

Remember Who He is and who you are.  You are wall-to-wall God.  “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.”  Don’t be impatient.  You do not have to rush God.

It seems that the very nature of our present world is one of hurry.  Rush.  Speed.  And this contributes to our impatience… our unwillingness to wait.  God’s time and our time may not be the same.

The production time of the Word is programmed in and it is as dependable as God is dependable.  What is programmed will come to pass.  What He promises He will perform.  What He says He will do.  He will confirm His Word “In due season.”   Waiting will develop your patience.

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:4

Waiting is one of the hardest things to do in our Faith Walk.  It is not hard to ask in prayer.  It is not too hard to believe….  But it is next to impossible to wait, with patience, until God confirms His Word and produces in us the “wanting nothing” condition.

God has said we will “reap in due season IF we faint not…”  Gal 6:9

So be patient

            God has a plan and purpose for you.  God brought you into the Kingdom for a reason.  Nobody is saved by accident.  There is a purpose and plan behind salvation.  According to Ephesians you were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world!!  God saw you holy and without blame before Him in love and you were foreordained unto adoption into His family!!  Hallelujah!!

            The rationale behind Salvation is wonderful!!  Salvation is more than deliverance from hell.  Salvation is more than going to heaven.  If this was all God intended in Salvation, He would have killed you the minute you got saved!!  God is a “much more” God!!  God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to the power that worketh in us!!  (Eph 3:20). 

            Salvation provides healing for your body!! 

            Salvation provides soundness for you mind!! 

            Salvation provides protection from danger and death!! 

            Salvation provides deliverance from the powers of darkness!! 

            Salvation provides preservation and security and sanity and peace and prosperity and “all needs met” living!! 

            Salvation is the most costly and miraculous of all the Works of God!!  And you and I are the objects of this great Salvation!!  “How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation…”  (Heb).   

            Salvation involves the whole man.  Salvation involves the spirit, the soul and the body.

            Salvation includes all dimensions of time.  Salvation is past, present and  future.

            Salvation is both temporal and eternal.  Salvation begins on earth and is completed in heaven.

            Salvation transcends all natural laws  and reaches into the supernatural sphere of God’s existence… where God dwells!!

            Salvation places us in the same class with God.   Salvation imputes God’s nature into the Believer and transforms the sinner into a saint.

            Salvation enables man to look like God, act like God, talk like God, think like God and operate like God. 

            Salvation immerses the believer into the supernatural realm of the God kind of Faith.

            Salvation recreates the believer in the Image of God and conforms him to the likeness of Christ. 

            Salvation produces fruit. 

            Salvation involves Power. 

            Salvation elevates man to the heavenlies where he is seated with Christ.

            Salvation energizes the believer with supernatural power so that he may live heaven’s life here on earth. 

            Let’s talk about the WHY of Salvation.  Why did God save you?  What purpose does He have in mind for your life?  What is the reason for your redemption?  We need to understand that no one is saved by accident!!  There is reason and rationale behind your redemption.  You were and are saved for a plan and purpose… an Eternal Plan and an Eternal Purpose.  God made you Righteous and He made you Righteous so that you might accomplish some things here on earth.

            God knew you before the foundations of the earth were formed!!  He knew you and loved you and planned on you before Creation!!   He looked forward with great anticipation to the time that you would be brought into the dimension of Time and Space.  God orchestrated the genetic structure of all your ancestors…. all the way back to Adam…. just to produce in YOU the characteristics and talents and abilities HE needs for this hour in human history!  God planned you with more care and creative genius than He planned anything else in all the Universe.  You are important to God.

            God saved you to make you like Him.  God wants you to be like Him.  He wants you to look like Him, talk like Him, think like Him and act like Him and He want you to do it Right now where you are!!  His greatest pleasure comes from the fact that you resemble Him.  You are recreated in His Image.  You are predestinated to be conformed to the Image of His Son (Rom 8:29).  He wants you to operate here on earth just as He operates in heaven.  God wants His Kingdom to come and His will to be done ON EARTH.  The way that His Kingdom comes and His Will is done ON EARTH is when you act like Him.  When you live like Him.  When you think like Him.  When you talk like Him.  It is doing what God does the way God does it that changes the world.  When we realize we can be like God our whole perspective on life changes.  Why would God will for us to be like Him if it were not in the realm of POSSIBILITY?  If we can be like God we can do the IMPOSSIBLE.  If we can  be like God no power in hell will ever defeat us.  If we can be like God no sickness can overtake us.  If we can be like God all our needs will be met and all our dreams will be realized.  God saved you to be LIKE HIM.  His Nature has been imputed into you and your Recreated Human Spirit is now alive with the Life of God and you are MORE than a conqueror!!

“What is man that thou art mindful of him?   and the son of man that thou visitest him?  For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels (Elohim), and hast crowned him with glory and with honor…”   Psa 8:4-5

            Now, what is God like?  What does God do?  What does He think?  What does He say?  How are His emotions?  How does God handle the devil?  How does God feel about victory and success and prosperity?

            First, God is LOVE so God Loves.  God is Love.  All God does comes out of Love.  God is Good and God is good all the time. God is Love and God loves all the time.  God forgives.  God does not hold grudges.  God is not resentful.  God does not wish harm or evil on anyone.  God loves with a special kind of love.  It is not sensual.   (eros)  It is not brotherly.  (philios)  It is supernatural.  It is Agape.  It is love that is unconditional.  It is love that loves regardless.  It requires nothing in return.   God wants us to love like He loves.  He says love your enemies.  Pray for them that despitefully use you.  Do good to those who hate you.  Be kind to those who are mean to you.  Be like Jesus.  “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do…”  God is a Faith God but God’s faith works by Love.  “Faith worketh by love…” 

            Next, God is Power.  God is not weak.  God is not worried.  God is not afraid.  God is not distressed.  God is not depressed.  God knows that what needs to be done and He knows how to do it and He knows He can do it.  Because He has the power and the ability to do it.   If you are a Believer, you need to know that He has imparted His power into you.  We have heaven’s potential in us.  We have the power and ability in the Name of Jesus to do whatever God wants us to do when God wants us to do it!!   Nothing is too hard for God and nothing is too hard for the believer who has the Power of God in him!!!  God saved you and me so that we might manifest His power here on earth.  He wants His Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven and the way this is to be accomplished is by the Power of God working in the Believer!! “Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us…”  (Eph 3:20).  This is the reason we are winners.  This is the reason we are “more than conquerors…”  This is the reason the Church is the most powerful organism on this planet…  The Church is like God.  We are like God.  We are possessed with the Power of God.  We have His Mind and we have His heart.  And we have the Power and the Ability to do the will of God RIGHT NOW!!  Hallelujah!! 

            God is Bold.  God is courageous.  God is not backward, shy or embarrassed.  God never plans on failing or backing down.  God is aggressive and He knows Who He is.  He knows what He can do.  He acts on His Word and He fears nothing and nobody.  He walks in assurance and confidence.  He always wins.   If this is Who God is and How God is, then we are to be the same!!  Bold.  Courageous.  Not backward, not shy and not embarrassed.  Never planning on failing or backing down from a challenge.  Aggressive, and aware of who we are.  Understanding what we can do.  We are to act on His Word and be afraid of nothing and nobody.  Walking in total confidence and assurance.  Knowing that we always win… no matter what!!   

            God is Rich.  God is not thrifty.  God is opulent.  God is wealthy.  God is abundant.  God is a “much more” God!!  God lives in splendor and grandeur.  His word declares that He owns the cattle on a thousand hills.  The Bible says that the Earth is His and all the fullness thereof.  All the riches of the world belong to God.  All the minerals and precious stones and natural resources are His.  He owns it all!!  He made it and He likes it!  The reason you and I like nice things is because God likes nice things.  It is not a sin to like nice things or to have nice things.  God promises abundance to those who are obedient and unselfish with their giving.  Where did we get the idea that in order to be a Christian one had to be poor?  If we are Christ-like (that’s what “Christian” means) then we must be God-like and if we are like God then we are blessed with  good things and we are blessed with them without measure!!  Listen to Mark 10: 29:  “And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left HOUSE, or brethren, or sisters, or father or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My sake, and the gospel’s But he shall receive AN HUNDREDFOLD now IN THIS TIME, HOUSES, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life…”   It scriptural to expect the Hundred fold return!! 

God is not thrifty.  God is not a Wall-Mart God!!  Check out His City!!  God lives in a city of Gold.  (Read Rev 21: 16-21).  The streets are paved with pure gold. The gates are made of pearl and the foundation of the wall is mixed with all kinds of precious stone.  God is rich.  God likes nice things.  Notice His clothes.  The Bible says that His train (coat-tails) literally fill the temple!!  Look at the Garden He put Adam and Eve in.  See the land of Gold and Silver and Precious, priceless gems and minerals.  God is Rich!!  The reason we like nice things is because we are like God.  God saved you in order to bless you.  He likes for you to have good things.  He wants to heap on you the blessings of heaven.  It is not bad to be blessed and it is not good to be poor!!   

 God did not design man for Salvation, He designed Salvation for man.  The New Covenant in the Blood of Jesus (which is Salvation) covers anything and everything that man will ever need.   When God ordained that all men everywhere of all time “might be saved” through the Blood of His dear Son, He designed a Salvation that exceeds all provisions and privileges and opportunities and benefits that were in place before the Fall.     This “Great Salvation” negates all of satan’s power.  It destroys all of satan’s works.  It cancels all of sin’s consequences.  It takes all authority away from satan and gives all authority to the New Creation Man.  This Salvation which we take so for granted, is worthy of our study and consideration.  There’s more to it than “meets the eye!”  We will never be able to fully comprehend and understand all… ALL that Jesus bought for us through His death, burial, resurrection and ascension.  But let’s give it a try!!  Amen??This is indicated in the very  words God selected to describe this supernatural act of Re-creation.  Note:

   Salvation is past, present and future.  Salvation begins on earth and is reaches into the heavenlies.  Salvation    Salvation imputes God’s Nature into us.  Salvation makes us look like God, talk like God, think like God and act like God.  Salvation elevates us into the supernatural realm of God and conforms us to His very Image.  God saved and fixed us so we can be like Him.

            God is victorious.  He is never sick, tired or defeated.  He never has a bad day.  God has no money problems, marital problems, business problems, mind problems, personality problems, or relationship problems.  God does not worry.  God does not fear.  God does not give up or give in.  God never changes.  He is the same.  God is Truth.  He speaks truth, thinks truth, lives truth and does truth.  God is just and honorable.  God never cheats, lies, steals, gossips, back-bites, gambles, smokes, drinks, or loses His temper.  God is merciful.  God forgives and forgets.  God gives second chances (and third and forth and fifth…etc.).  God understands.  God empathizes.  God feels.  God cares.  God has compassion.   God gives.  God multiplies.  God helps.  God loves. 

Being Born Again is being blessed beyond human understanding.

Trust Him NOW

Word for Today:  June 6

“There is only one relationship that really matters, and that is your personal relationship to your personal Redeemer and Lord. If you maintain that at all costs, letting everything else go, God will fulfill His purpose through your life. One individual life may be of priceless value to God’s purposes, and yours may be that life.”  Oswald Chambers

What are those things that plague us?  What is it within the Human Experience that brings pain and grief?  What are the things that are burdens and problems to us?  It is precisely here (where we hurt) that God focuses His Grace.  His Provision.  His Relief.  We have seen just how these provisions are met in the Covenant He made with us and that is guaranteed by the Blood of Jesus Christ

What is hurting you?  Where are you broken and wounded and sad?  What has come into your life that produced fear and dread and pain?  What are those elements in the Human Experience that make your life miserable?  Do you understand that every misery and pain in life is caused by the devil?  By the powers of darkness?  By those spirits in high places that purpose to kill, steal and destroy?

If we can come to know God’s Purpose for us, we can better get our lives in agreement with it.  Once we come into a living agreement with the Purpose God has for us, we can experience the Abundant Life Jesus promises in John 10:10.

Everybody wants the abundant life, but they may be in agreement with the Purpose God has for them.

And until this takes place, true fulfillment in life is impossible.

And real Peace evades us

Word for Today:  June 5

“I don’t know what to do!”

Have you ever been in a place where you honestly did not know what to do?

The first temptation is the temptation to try to fix it ourselves.  Plans.  Procedures.  Steps to take.  People to see.  We want to “fix things.”  We want to “fix” people.  Instead of throwing our cares and worries and tribulations on Jesus, we think we can fix it ourselves.  We try.  And it does not work.  We try something else, and it does not work either.  We reason.  We consider the problem.  We analyze it, examine it, look at it from every angle and try again.  Another failure.

Finally, we remember to pray.  And seek God.  And ask God.  And turn to God and confess that without His intervention, all our human and natural efforts will not produce any answers.

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. 2Chron 20: 12

The King’s army was outnumbered (2Chron 20). They were defenseless against such overwhelming odds.  They had no escape route…. Nowhere to run.  Nowhere to hide.  Nowhere to seek refuge.  They were in line for defeat.  Humiliation.  And death.  They had exhausted all their resources.  Nothing they had and nothing they could do would be able to deliver them from total disaster and defeat.  The king finally confessed: “I don’t know what to do.  But my eyes are on You, Lord….”

There are some attempts at victory that you need to “give up.”  Because they are your plans, your ideas, your efforts and they are done in your strength.  I remember praying one time:  “Lord, I don’t know what to do.  I’ve tried everything I know to try.  I don’t have any resources left.  I give up.”   In my fit of self-pity and false humility, God responded to my heart:  “Good!  Now that you are through, I can do something.”

Giving up on your efforts does not mean giving in to the devil.  It simply means changing your “trying” into “trusting” and then leaving it all to God.

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.  1Pe 5:7

It is True and it is authentic.  It is perfect and it is complete.  It has no mistakes in it and it is accurate.  It is from God and it tells us about God.  It was written by men who lived in the first century.  These men were inspired by God and they recorded exactly what God told them to write. This record has been preserved by the Power of God through the centuries and we have it today… it is called the Bible and it is the Word of God. 

            I want to tell you some things about the Word of God.

It is more than just a book.  It is more than just an historical record.  It is more than literature.  It is the very Word of God and it is alive and full of Power.  “For the Word of God is alive and powerful…”  (Heb 4:12)  It is filled with the Life of God and it is full of the Power of God. 

            It tells us about God.  It reveals the Nature of God.  It uncovers the mystery concerning God.  It tells us that God is Creator of all things.  “In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth…”  God is the author of all things and the Creator of all things.  He made the earth, the heavens, the sun, the moon, the planets, the stars… He created all things that exist.  He created them by His Power!

             It tells us that God made Man in His own image.   He created them male and female and He breathed His life into them… Man became a living being created in the likeness of God, his Father.  God wanted a family to love and to bless.  God wanted a family that would love Him and honor Him.  The Bible, the Word of God, tells us that God created man.

It tells us that man sinned against God.  It tells us that man disobeyed God and betrayed God.  The Bible tells us that man refused God’s love and turned to satan because of pride and greed.   It tells us that this sin separated man from God and made it impossible for man to fellowship with God.  Man became a sinner and man’s sin built a wall or barrier between God and man.  The Bible, the Word of God tells us how sin came into the world and how that sin separated man from God.

            It tells us that God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to die in behalf of man and because of man’s sin.  Jesus, the Son of God, came to earth and lived as a perfect man.  He was betrayed by man and crucified on the Cross as a sacrifice for my sin and your sin.  He became sin for us in order that you and I might be forgiven.  He died on the Cross so that we can be restored to God.  By His death, we are afforded Eternal Life.  The Bible, the Word of God tells us this.

            It tells us that all men everywhere can be forgiven of their sin and restored to God through Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  In fact, the only way for anyone to be reconciled to God is though His Son, the Lord Jesus.  How is this possible?  It is possible when you and I recognize that we need God…that we need forgiveness of our sin.  It is possible when we acknowledge that Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of God and that He died for our sins on the Cross.  The Bible, the Word of God tells us how we can be Saved… how we can be reconciled to God and how we can receive Eternal Life.  This is the most important information man can ever know.  And this information is given to us in the Bible, the Word of God.

            The Bible, the Word of God, tells us how to live.  It tells us how we can live life abundantly.  It tells us how we can overcome hardships and change circumstances.  It tells us how to live in victory when defeat is all around us.  It tells us how to be happy and filled with joy in times of sadness and depression.  It guarantees us that we can win over any situation in life that is bad.  I know that we all have times when we feel we can never succeed.  I know that you have times that are hard and impossible.  The Bible tells us how to win over any situation… no matter how impossible it may seem.  The Word is alive and filled with power.  It is filled with the Power of God and the Power of God is greater than any difficulty or impossibility anyone can ever face. 

            The Bible, the Word of God, tells us how to be well and not sick.  It tells us how to be healed from sickness and disease and infirmity.  It tells us how to overcome any adversity… it tells us how to get healed and stay healed.  This is why you and I need to know the Word of God.  The Word of God is TRUTH and TRUTH has more power than FACTS.  When we know the Truth, the Truth will make you free… free from sickness, sin and defeat.  When you believe the Bible you are elevated into the realm of the supernatural.  Jesus said that if Believe what?  Believe the Word of God!!

            Do you want to really live?  I mean, do you want to live life to its fullest?  Do you want to have victory over sin, sickness and defeat?  Do you want to have all your sin forgiven?  Do you want to receive healing and enjoy divine health?  Do you want to be free from depression, sadness, worry and heaviness?  Do you want to be assured that when you die you will go to heaven?  The Bible tells us how!  It tells us that if we believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died on the Cross for our sin that we will be saved.  Saved from sin, sickness and defeat.  It tells us that men can be saved if they will simply call on the Name of the Lord Jesus and receive Him into their hearts.           

You can be Born Again right now.

Word for Today:  May 30

God is so much bigger than we can imagine.

What He can do far exceeds our ability to understand and comprehend.  He is greater than the greatest, bigger than the biggest and more powerful than anything or anybody we can imagine.

John speaks of the “streets of gold” when he attempts to describe the splendor and opulence of heaven.  He is limited by the words at his command to describe what he sees in the spirit.  Did you know that the “streets of gold” are nothing more than the “garbage dump” in heaven?  The earthly streets that John knew about were littered with garbage in his day.  The inhabitants of the city would throw their trash and garbage into the streets and the traffic of human feet and the paths of plodding animals would pack down the garbage.  The streets in John’s day were the garbage dump.

If Heaven’s Garbage Dump is solid gold, I cannot begin to imagine what the houses and lands and habitations of the redeemed will be like.

Do you have a need?  Any need.  Big need.  Small need.  Few needs.  Great needs.  Many needs.  If your answer is “yes,” name your need.  Does it have a name?  What is it?  Call it out.  Give it a name.  Tell yourself what it is.  Tell the devil what it is.  Tell God what it is (even though He already knows.)  Is it a health need?  Is it a financial need?  Is it a marriage or family need?  Is it a spiritual need?  Is it an emotional need?  If you have a need, then God has the supply… and God is Able to get His supply to your need… AND HE WILL.

Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, (Jesus) and given him a name which is above every name:

Therefore, the Name of Jesus is ABOVE the name of your need.  And it is subject to that Name.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:19

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us… Eph 3:20

God is Able to meet your need TODAY.

Word for Today:  May 28

God is able.

Most every Christian will agree that God is Able.  To settle for anything less would degrade the concept of Christianity.  God truly is able.  Paul declares in Ephesians that He is “able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…” However, the majority of believers would agree with the FACT that God is Able but I want to add a new dimension to this confession of faith.  I want to declare that God is Able and God Will.  God Will do for you what nobody else or nothing else can.

The fact that GOD IS ABLE is the Magna Charta of the New Testament Church.     This is the Emancipation Proclamation of the Body of Christ:  God is Able.  This is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for the Christian:  God is Able.  Confess “GOD IS ABLE!”  Now add to that confession:   “… AND GOD WILL!”

As we begin this day, I want to begin it with high hopes… with Great Expectations.  With great faith.  With awesome Dreams.  I want to take you with me into the place where you can rest and know that God is Able and…. God will!  No matter what.  No matter who.  No matter where.

God wants to encourage you.  He has set aside this day and this moment to build you up and strengthen you and to help you.   He is able to deliver you out of your fiery trial and out of your furnace and out of your Egypt.  And He Will.  He wants you to know that.  He wants you to know that today.

God wants you to get out of hoping and praying into confessing and believing.

And then from confessing and believing into Receiving and Possessing.

God is Able.

And He will

The seed and the ground

Jesus gave us the parable of the Sower and the Seed.

This parable is found in all three synoptic Gospels.  We need to consider some characteristics that identify a seed and also some ground conditions that are necessary for the seed to germinate.

Jesus said that the Word is the seed.

The ground is the heart.

He pointed out that the condition of the ground in which the seed is sown determines the extent of the harvest.  Good ground produces a bountiful harvest.

The Seed is the Word and when the Word is sown in good Ground (the proper heart condition) then the Word will produce “after its kind.”  Ideally, Word production is the production of the Will of God.

Whatever is in the Word will be grown in the earth.  Whatever is in the Word will be produced on the earth.  Jesus prayed in the Model Prayer “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”  When our heart condition “draws out” what God has placed in, then God’s Will is accomplished on the earth.

In Real Time.  In the present.  In the now.

When and where it is most needed

1.         CATCH the VISION and KEEP it BURNING in your HEART,

“Where there is no vision the people perish.” Keep your calling and your commission fresh. “SEE IT” Let it rise up inside of you. Never lose sight of your objective. Remember that faith is the substance of things hoped for… Keep the Fire of God burning in your heart… never let it wane. (Discover and know your Potential).

2.         Really Believe that you can do what you have been called to do.                   

Never doubt. Know that what God has Promised God will perform. Do not be discouraged by the magnitude of the task. God expects big things from us… He is a Big God.  See it (your mission) with the eye of Faith. Believer that it can be done. Believe not only that it can be done, realized, accomplished, and fulfilled, but …  believe that it is to be done now. 

3.         Begin with what you have…Do not wait for what you need.

Do something – lest ye do NOTHING.  Satan’s big trick is to make you wait.  God says “Now is the accepted time…Today is the day…  You have been waiting for years… what have you gained by waiting? Start right where you are and God will supply what you need as you need it.  

4.         Look and search diligently for ways to operate Word and Kingdom Principles.

“…for I will hasten my WORD to perform it…” (Jer. 1:12) God is looking for ways to show Himself Strong in your behalf. Look for ways to Work the Word. What you do with the Word determines what the Word will do for you. Get above the natural and begin to function in the supernatural. Operate by Heaven’s principles while you are still on  earth.    

5.         Never Quit.

No matter what… Never Quit! Say first thing in the morning, “devil, I am    not       going to quit today! I did not quit yesterday and I will not quit tomorrow. I am in this thing to stay! I’m not quitting!”  Make the devil move … make your problems move … make your obstacles move…Stand your ground and Never Quit!

6.         Keep your Mind and your Mouth in line with the Word.

What you Think you ARE.  “As a man thinketh in his heart … so is he” Keep Your thought life above the natural world. Set your affection on things above. Speak the Word or don’t speak at all!  If you can control your mind and your mouth you can live in the Supernatural.

7.         Make Preparation for your Visitation.

Prepare to Reap because you have been faithful in sowing…Get ready for your harvest. You got ready to Plant… now get ready to harvest. You got ready to Plant… now get ready toReap! Get ready to receive what you have beenbelieving for.   Dig some ditches and borrow some pots! (2Kings 3:16, 4:3)

Php 4:13  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
