2 Corinthians 4:13 - "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak."
OBSERVATION:
Sometimes I have to speak the Word to myself until I believe it -- then I can use that word to speak to my situation...
Zechariah 12:1 -- "Thus says the Lord, Who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him."
God is spirit, and Zechariah 12:1 tells us that God formed the spirit of man within him. This human spirit is what makes relationship and fellowship...
Hebrews 11:3 - "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
Faith is the bridge between the eternal (the unseen) and the temporal (the seen). In prayer, we can cross that bridge and see as God...
Psalm 42:11 - "Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God: For I shall yet praise Him."
DAVID BEGAN TO SELF-TALK WHEN HE FELT DISCOURAGEMENT COME UPON HIM.
Observation:
I CAN SPEAK TO MY EMOTIONS AND TAKE CONTROL OF THEM BY TELLING MY INNER MAN TO HOPE IN...
Ecclesiastes 3:11 - "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men's hearts and minds (a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy), yet so that men cannot find out what God has done...
Ephesians 3:19 - "And to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God."
THERE IS A PLACE GREATER THAN KNOWLEDGE WHERE WE ABIDE IN CHRIST'S LOVE.
THIS IS, INDEED, THE STRONGHOLD OF GOD. IT IS A PLACE WHERE OUR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IS FULFILLED...
Matthew 6:13 - "For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever."
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS HIS POSSESSION, WHICH IS WHY HE ALONE CAN GIVE IT TO US. WHEN WE DECLARE THAT REALITY WE MOVE INTO DECLARATIONS OF PRAISE!
THE LORD'S PRAYER HAS TWO MAIN OBJECTIVES:
(1) MINISTER TO GOD OUT OF AN...
Matthew 6:13 - "And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
There is no temptation or sin in heaven. This prayer does not imply that God wants to tempt us.
We know from James 1:13 that it is impossible for God to entice us to sin. This kind of praying is important...
2 Corinthians 10:4 says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds."
How is gratitude a weapon?
ASPECTS OF GRATITUDE:
Gratitude means being grateful not only for what God has already done but for what He is about to do. Combining faith...
The real success of any life will be because of this knowledge, "Thou art the Christ." This knowledge is the rock foundation, "and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 16:18,19).
This knowledge of our right standing...
If we are to experience RESTORATION, we must believe in one true God and in His living Word.
God promised us this very thing through Joel:
"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, my great army which I...
Matthew 12:28 -- "If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you."
The unseen world has influence over the visible.
The Kingdom is here and now.
We must acknowledge that it's in the invisible realm. Just as Jesus worked only through the Spirit of God, we...
Matthew 6:11 - "Give us this day our daily bread".
IS ANYONE STARVING IN HEAVEN? HEAVEN SETS THE STANDARD FOR A CHRISTIAN'S MATERIAL WORLD - ENOUGH TO SATISFY THE DESIRES BORN OF GOD AND ENOUGH "FOR EVERY GOOD WORK."
OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR PROVISION COMES FROM THE HEAVENLY MODEL GIVEN TO US IN...
Matthew 6:10 - "Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
IF IT IS NOT FREE TO EXIST IN HEAVEN, IT MUST BE BOUND HERE - THROUGH PRAYER WE ARE TO EXERCISE THE AUTHORITY GIVEN TO US. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS HERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SHADOW OF HEAVEN. IN TURN, EVERY...
Matthew 6:10 - "Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
This is the primary focus for all prayer -- if it exists in heaven, it is to be "loosed" on earth. It's the praying Christian who "looses" heaven's expression here. When the believer prays according the revealed...
Hebrews 4:12 - "For the word of God is quick (or living), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
THE REASON THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT...
"....if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you." - Romans 8:11
"For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the...
Matthew 11:12 - "Until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."
The people Jesus ministered to were healed or delivered because of their faith. Faith may quietly press in, or it may cry out very loudly, but it is always violent in the spirit world. It grabs...
"The Spirt of the Lord is upon me because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." - Luke 4:18
God is bringing us to a...
Matthew 6:13 - "But deliver us from evil."
THE WORD "EVIL" REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE CURSE OF SIN UPON MAN. "PONEROS", THE GREEK WORD FOR EVIL, CAME FROM THE WORD "PONOS," MEANING PAIN. AND THAT WORD CAME FROM THE ROOT WORD "PENES," MEANING POOR.
To Summarize:
EVIL-SIN,
PAIN (SICKNESS), AND
POOR...
