TRYING THE SPIRITS

Identifying sin and scriptural error are not judging or being judgmental. Sometimes when Christians address sin such as non-scriptural divorce and homosexuality they are accused of being non-loving and judgmental. Such statements are only used by those that are unstable, scripturally ignorant, rebellious, deceived, or those living in sin.

To judge means to render a decision, form an opinion, and make a determination based on knowledge. People make decisions and determinations every day. They judge what they will wear, say, and do, for example. They are cautious when first meeting strangers and know from experience not everyone is trustworthy. To throw caution to the wind is not wise. Let’s review a few scriptures regarding judgment.

TRY THE SPIRITS

The Apostle John taught to try the spirits. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1)

There is the Holy Spirit, human spirits, and demonic spirits. Spirits are judged according to what they say and how they act. Our measurement for the truth is the written Word of God, the Bible. According to the Thayer Greek Lexicon, “try” is the Greek word dokimazō meaning:

1.) To test, examine, prove, and scrutinize.
2.) To see whether a thing is genuine or not.
3.) To recognize as genuine after examination, to approve, deem worthy.

To ignore, condone, and justify sin and sinful behavior is not biblical. To expect a Christian to overlook sin because “God will judge” is wrong. Your leader has the responsibility to feed the sheep and protect the flock from wolves, dogs, goats, foxes, false prophets, evil workers, and the deceived. (Matthew 7:15; Acts 20:29; Philippians 3:2; Matthew 25:32; 2 Timothy 4:14)

KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS

Jesus taught us to know people by their fruits.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits, ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:15-23).

According to Jesus, the only way to know what’s inside a person is to know them by their fruits. In other words, to know a person requires looking at the fruit of their actions and life. Some trees bear fruit quickly others take more time. The only way to know a person is through fruit inspection. Again, this requires sound scriptural judgment and examination. Jesus used the word “beware” meaning to use extreme caution because some are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Wolves devour sheep. To protect you Christ taught to look for righteous fruit because “a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” For someone, anyone, to tell you not to judge protects wolves and puts you in extreme danger.

COMMON SAYINGS

Here are some common sayings used to stop Christians from addressing sin and sinful behavior:

“God is the judge.”
“Christians are the only ones that kill their wounded.”
“The spiritual are called to restore.”
Let’s examine these sayings.

“God is the judge.”

Yes, God is the judge and only He can make the final decision of one’s’ salvation. As already said however you are called to “try the spirits” and “know them by their fruits.” There are many scriptures requiring you to discern between good and evil, and truth and deception. Scripture says, for example, “Prove all things, hold fast to that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). To deflect life-giving correction by saying God is the judge does a disservice to the very ones that need to hear the scriptural truth. God said, “ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful” (Psalm 1:1). When someone tells you that God is the judge, they are guarding sinners.

“Christians are the only ones that kill their wounded.”

This is a religious, humanistic, and unbiblical saying that is found nowhere in Scripture. The assumption is the “wounded” has the right to continue in sin without correction. It also tries to bind the person that wants to share scriptural truth necessary to set a person free. Speaking the truth in love to one that is living in sin, deception, and error is not killing the wounded. It is an expression of love.

“The spiritual are called to restore.”

Scripture says, “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted” (Galatians 6:10). When a Brother or Sister falls through sin, there is a pattern for scriptural restoration. That pattern, however, requires repentance. To restore the unrepentant is not biblical. Without repentance of sin, there is no foundation for reconciliation and restoration. It is godly sorrow that leads to repentance. Scripture says, “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death” (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Again, to judge means to render a decision, form an opinion, and make a determination based on knowledge. Identifying sin and scriptural error are not judging or being judgmental. To “try the spirits” and “to known them by their fruits” is the biblical approach for determining those that are truly “in the faith.” Next time someone tells you not to judge when addressing sin or sinful behavior remember this scripture, “But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man” 1 Corinthians 2:15).

Demonic legal rights

The process of deliverance often consists of three main parts: Tearing down strongholds, removing legal rights and then casting out the remaining demons. If you try to cast out demons without taking away the strongholds or legal rights that they are holding onto, then you can’t really expect to achieve a complete successful deliverance. Removing these two blockages is vital in going about a complete and successful deliverance.

There is a teaching specifically on Strongholds too that you may want to go through as well.
What are legal rights?
A legal right is something that can give demons an opportunity to enter or harass us, or gives them the right to remain in us even when we try to cast them out. Some of the most common legal rights that are faced when ministering deliverance are:

Sins (especially willful sins): When we commit sin, it gives the enemy a legal right to affect or bother us in one way or another. The deeper the sin, the bigger the door that is opened to the devil. When a person allows unholy thoughts to enter their mind, it can open the door to a demon of lust, which eventually causes the person to commit adultery and the matter is compounded. It starts when the enemy tempts us to think the wrong thing, then when we accept it and make it a habit, it opens the door for the enemy to move in further, then behind the bad habit which can be formed, lies a demonic compulsion that isn’t easily resisted. If the person continues down this path, he continues to open more doors to the enemy, and eventually that person finds himself committing adultery, rape, etc. because the feelings and desires the demons push on that person are irresistible. Once he commits those sins, mega doors are then opened, and the problem is like a snowball going down the hill. Sin opens the door to demons, which push us in the direction to more sins, which open us wider to more demons, etc.
The remedy? Repentance! Verbally confess and repent of your sins that have given the enemy legal rights in your life. If you recognize a particular sin or sins that has opened the door to the bondage you are seeking deliverance from, it helps to specifically repent of that sin. Any larger or gross sins you can remember are always good to repent of specifically.
1 John 1:9 tells us to confess our sins. If we don’t confess our sins and instead we hide them from God, it leaves that sin remaining in our lives. We need to confess our sins in order to be forgiven.

Soul ties: It is possible for two persons to share spiritual ties (like spiritual bridges that connect the two persons). Some of the most popular and destructive soul ties are formed during an adultery or fornication. 1 Corinthians 6:16 warns us not to have sexual relations with a prostitute because we become one flesh (flesh as in soul realm kind of flesh, not a physical flesh) with that person. This ungodly soul tie is like a rope between two persons that demons can use to their advantage to cross from one person to another. If that person had demons tormenting them, and you had sex with them, it unites the two persons, and therefore a soul tie is created, and the demons tormenting that person can also have rights to torment you. This does not apply to married couples, because there is no unhealthy soul tie created from sex within marriage. The Bible says that the marriage bed is un-defiled, and defilement is required to create an evil soul tie.
The remedy? Repentance, renunciation and breaking of soul ties! First, specifically repent of the sin which caused the soul tie to be formed in the first place. Then you can use your authority in Jesus to break and sever the unholy soul tie. Saying something like this should do the job, “I now renounce, break and sever all unholy soul ties created between myself and _____ through the act of adultery in Jesus’ name!”

There can also be soul ties between yourself and another person, without any sexual relationship involved. Sexual relationships are one of the best way to create a very strong soul tie, but it’s not the only way. Other soul ties can be created through unhealthy relationships, such as being so close to a parent that you take their advice over God’s advice. Again, repentance and the breaking of the soul ties in Jesus’ name is the way to go about solving this problem.
Another thing that could hold back the breaking of a soul tie, is a physical object given to you from the other person, through a sinful relationship. If you were given a ring, or bra or a love gift through an adulterous relationship, for example, then those gift(s) can hold the soul tie together. If the gift is valuable, and not necessarily bad in itself, then it’s best to sell the gift. If the gift is demonic or unholy, then it’s best to throw away the gift.

Demonic vows: A demonic vow can be like a spiritual signature that the enemy uses as a legal right to gain access into our lives. Demonic vows can be made consciously or unconsciously. Often when a person joins a cult coven (a group of witches), they are required to make vows with the devil. Demonic vows can be made unconsciously just by dabbling with the occult. Just by getting curious about the occult and reading forbidden materials (including horoscopes) can give the enemy your spiritual signature; it tells the enemy know that your interested. Jesus warns us not to make any vows at all. The only vows I can see are practical and good are those made during a marriage ceremony.
The remedy? But if we have made vows that do not glorify God, then we should repent and renounce those vows verbally and seek God’s forgiveness. Do this verbally, because vows are made verbally, breaking them is also done verbally.

Unforgiveness: When we don’t forgive others, God won’t forgive us. When God doesn’t forgive us, it leaves our sins remaining, which can give the enemy legal rights into our lives. Read Matthew 18:23-35, and keep in mind that the tormenters they are referring to, are demons. The legal ground the enemy may be standing on to torment you may very well be rooted in unforgiveness! I’ve heard that the single most common reason that people aren’t healed, is because they are holding unforgiveness in their hearts, and I believe it! Forgiveness is not an option; it’s a necessity! See my study on “Unforgiveness: Poison” for a more in depth understanding of how unforgiveness works.
The remedy? Repent for holding bitterness in your heart against others, and make a solid choice to forgive those who have wronged you (also confirm your choice by verbally forgiving them), and release the bitterness and hurt from your heart against them.

Ancestral sins: When you involve yourself in the deeper sins or the occult world, you not only open demonic doors in your own life, but also in the lives of your children and grandchildren (Exodus 20:5). If your ancestors have committed gross sins or been involved in the occult, then it’s a good idea to confess those sins (to the best of your ability… God knows your heart), and ask Him for forgiveness (Leviticus 26:40-42). Even though you personally aren’t guilty of those sins, they may have caused curses in your life, and those curses need to be broken. Common ways to tell if ancestral sins are involved, is if your siblings or ancestors have experienced or are experiencing the same or similar problem that you are.
The remedy? The legal grounds have already been broken! If any spirits are remaining, they must be cast out. For more information, see the teaching on Generational Curses.

Childhood rejection: Much demonic bondage is caused during childhood. For example, if a parent shows rejection toward their child, a spirit of rejection may enter.
The remedy? If you have been rejected by either your parents or somebody else, you must make a solid choice to forgive that person(s), and release the hurt in your heart against them. The spirit of rejection is usually present in this situations, and should be renounced.

Points of weakness: When the person experiences weakness, such as emotional shock, physical trauma, fearful experiences during childhood, and other areas to which the natural walls of defense in the physical, spiritual or emotional system of a person are weakened, it leaves us vulnerable for the enemy to attach himself to us. The same is true with drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, and especially true with drugs, because they lower our defenses, and since demons thrive on weakness, they love to move right in and setup camp.
The remedy? If there was any bitterness involved (say somebody caused the traumatic experience for you, and you are still holding it against them), then you must forgive the person who hurt you, and repent for harboring bitterness in your heart against them. If the point of weakness was caused by your own sin, such as drinking or drugs, then confess and repent of that sin. If the demons entered solely through traumatic experience, and none of it was anybody’s fault, then the demons are 100% trespassers in this situation, and need to be told to leave!

Spoken self-curses: The words we say have spiritual value, the Bible says to bless and not curse, and that the tongue has the power of life and death. If you walk around saying, “I wish I could just die,” a demon may hear you and can go to God and say, “Look, she wants to die!” and here comes a spirit of death. There is a book titled, “Blessing or Curse: You can choose, ” by Derek Prince, which deals with this topic of curses in much detail.
The remedy? Take back what you spoke against yourself, renounce it! Repent for speaking such thing(s), and break the curse(s) in Jesus’ name!

Cursed objects: Physical objects can carry spiritual value, such as idols, occult books, rings, movies, charms, etc. If you brought any Indian or pagan religion artifacts into your home, you could be opening the door for demons to enter and bother the people within your home. Land can also become defiled by the sins of it’s owners (Leviticus 18:27).
The remedy? Burn, destroy or get rid of any physical objects that you have located that could be cursed. Isaiah 2:18, “And the idols he shall utterly abolish.” It is Biblical to burn cursed objects. Repent for bringing such objects into your home if you are responsible for them! Land can be cleansed by prayer and repenting of the sins of the previous owners.

Renounce demons: Renounce any known demons that have been invited in (ex. spirit guides), and any interest or involvement in the occult or Satanism. Also renounce any demons that you know need to be cast out. This helps let the demons know that you are no longer interested in having them around.
Other helpful things to look for: When did the bondage start? Try to pinpoint how the problem started and what gave the demons the ability to enter. Look for any involvement in the occult, sins, vows, traumatic experiences, etc. along with any unusual happenings emotionally, spiritually or mentally.

The Spirit of Faith

The Mighty One, God the LORD, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people: “Gather My saints together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah Psalm 50:1-6

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Matthew 4:4

One of the gifts of the Spirit that operates supernaturally in the lives of God’s people is the Spirit of faith. God supernaturally by His Spirit revels an attribute of Himself, such that He is the Mighty One, God the Lord, the Judge of All the earth. This puts a confidence in God’s true ones that everything will be alright because God is the mighty One who will shine forth and come to defend them.

Praying in the Spirit often activates the spirit of faith in the live of a believer and brings a word from the mouth of God. Something which happened in life of Apostle Paul who prayed in tongues more than all. The bible records:

Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.”

Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there. When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete. Acts 27:9-13

Paul in his spirit perceived that their voyage would end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and shop but also their lives. But the centurion had other more valid reasons to continue with the journey than to take heed to the words of Paul. The bible records:

But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon. So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive. And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty. When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven. And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship. On the third day we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands.

Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up. But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss. “And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. “For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, “saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

“Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. “However, we must run aground on a certain island.” Acts 27:9-26

Sure enough the ship ran into an unexpected storm and they were in trouble. But an angel of God gave Paul the word from the mouth of God that there would be no loss of life among them but only of the ship. Paul believed God and that it would be just as it was told him and made his confession of faith. Sure enough He was not disappointed. The ship sank but they all made it safely to a certain island.

Now Apostle Paul, himself, talked about that since the excellence of the power is of God we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak.” The bible records:

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed- always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you.

And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:7-18

God puts His true ones in some very difficult and perplexing situations and circumstances that look like they are going to be destroyed or delivered to death. But the same Holy Spirit who raised up the Lord Jesus from the dead will deliver them from their light affliction so that they might continue serving the Lord.

For there is nothing beyond the Holy Spirit’s power to change things and circumstance for His true ones, even raising people from the dead. Nothing is impossible or too difficult for the Holy Spirit to do on behalf of God’s true ones in their hour of need. No mountain is too large the Holy Spirit cannot move. No river is too wide that the Holy Spirit cannot part. No problem is too big that the Holy Spirit cannot solve. No enemy is too numerous that the Holy Spirit cannot destroy. For the bible records of what happened when the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson:

Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? What is this you have done to us?” And he said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”

But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.”

Then Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.” So they spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will tie you securely and deliver you into their hand; but we will surely not kill you.” And they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.

When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands. He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it.

Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey, Heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men!” And so it was, when he had finished speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place Ramath Lehi. Judges 15:11-17

TRUST IN GOD AT ALL TIMES

Exodus 23:20     “Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21     Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him.
22   But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 For My Angel will go before you and bring you in to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.

Isaiah 41:8 ” But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend.
9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, ‘ You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away:
10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
11 Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish.
12 You shall seek them and not find them — Those who contended with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing.

Beloved, Christ has redeemed you from sickness, lack, and destructive situations, so that the blessings of Abraham can come upon you!
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us…”Gal 3:13

The power and the glory, the victory and the majesty and all that is in heaven and in earth is the LORD and He has given it to His blood bought children who are to receive it by faith and spend it for the furthering of His kingdom. Poverty and sickness are to be rejected by God’s people as from the devil. They are to seek from God His richest, honor, power and might for it’s God who gives every good thing.

Yes, God’s children must take a step of faith and to believe God to reverse and restore all things to them including their health, wealth, good name and power just like they took a step of faith to be saved. And the good news is that the very moment they pray, God gives them the answer. That very moment God hears them and He commands His angels to bring the answer to them. However they are living in a spiritual warfare where a war goes on and their enemy, the devil, will try to delay the answer from coming through to them

They are to rejoice in knowing the fact that the majority of Jesus’ recorded miracles had to do with healing and deliverance. Jesus is God’s will in action. Beloved, the Father wants you healed, healthy, wealthy, whole, wise and strong!

Jehovah-Jireh will provide; Jehovah-Rapha will heal;Jehovah-Shalom will send peace; Jehovah-Tsidkenu will justify; Jehovah-Shammah will be forever near; and in Jehovah-Nissi we will conquer every foe. They that know Thy name will trust Thee; and they that trust Thee will rejoice in Thee, O Lord

Isaiah 35:(NET)
1    Let the desert and dry region be happy; let the wilderness rejoice and bloom like a lily!
2    Let it richly bloom; let it rejoice and shout with delight! It is given the grandeur of Lebanon, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the grandeur of the LORD, the splendor of our God.
3    Strengthen the hands that have gone limp, steady the knees that shake!
4    Tell those who panic, “Be strong! Do not fear! Look, your God comes to avenge! With divine retribution he comes to deliver you.”
5    Then blind eyes will open, deaf ears will hear.
6    Then the lame will leap like a deer, the mute tongue will shout for joy; for water will flow in the desert, streams in the wilderness.
7    The dry soil will become a pool of water, the parched ground springs of water. Where jackals once lived and sprawled out, grass, reeds, and papyrus will grow.
8    A thoroughfare will be there — it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it; it is reserved for those authorized to use it — fools will not stray into it.
9    No lions will be there, no ferocious wild animals will be on it — they will not be found there. Those delivered from bondage will travel on it,
10    those whom the LORD has ransomed will return that way. They will enter Zion with a happy shout. Unending joy will crown them, happiness and joy will overwhelm them; grief and suffering will disappear.

MATT:18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Matthew 21:18 Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.

Mark 11:23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Did you know that according to Jesus you can speak to any mountain and tell it to be moved into the sea and it will obey you including mountain of stupidity, mountain of unbelief, mountain of stubbornness, mountain of idiots, mountain of sickness, mountain of poverty, mountain of enemies, or whatever mountain? So use your faith and speak to your mountains and tell them to be moved into the sea!

GOD KNEW WE WOULD BE FEARFUL AND FACE BATTLES, STORMS AND STRUGGLE FAR GREATER THAN WE COULD EVER MANAGE ON OUR OWN. THAT IS LORDS WAY OF BUILDING OUR TRUST AND FAITH IN HIM ALONE AS GOD “ALWAYS SHOWS HIMSELF FAITHFUL TO HIS BELOVED AND HIS WORD”!! ALWAYS REMINDING US AND PROVING TO US THAT HE WILL TAKE CARE OF OUR EVERY NEED, CONQUER EVERY ENEMY, DELIVER US FROM “ALL” EVIL, REVERSE EVERY CURSE, BREAK EVERY CHAIN THAT HOLD US BACK, HEAL OUR MIND, BODY AND SOUL AND RESTORE US IN HIS FULLNESS, IN EVERY WAY.

If it matters to you, it matters to Him! No care is too small to bring to your heavenly Father. God has provided everything we need in this life & in the life to come—forgiveness of sins, healing, victory, deliverance, & prosperity. God is so good!

Beloved, our God is a BIG God of abundance and inexhaustible supply. He is the Possessor of heaven and earth. He is El Shaddai—the Almighty, all-sufficient and all-nourishing one!

AND IN CHRIST, THE ABUNDANCE OF GOD’S WISDOM, WEALTH, RICHES, POWER, FAVOR, ABILITY, STRENGTH AND CREATIVITY THAT YOU NEED FOR A SUCCESSFUL FAMILY, CAREER AND MINISTRY, ARE OURS TO EXPERIENCE AND ENJOY AS PER PH 4:19

Through the power of His resurrection and the use of our faith, we can have divine overcoming power against all the powers of the enemy. We can have divine peace and contentment every day of our life as well as healing, blessings and prosperity. Healing is the children’s bread; it’s on the table all the time.

GOD IS ABLE TO MOVE FOR US AND SUPPLY ALL THINGS NEEDED TODAY. HE HAS ALL POWER SO WE CAN TRUST HIM AND RECEIVE DAILY THAT WHICH IS NEEDED. God’s word is unchanging:

In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor. Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them. God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work. Psalm 62:7-12

SOLVING OUR PROBLEMS DOES NOT DRAIN HIS POWER. OUR PROBLEMS ARE NOTHING TO GOD AS FAR AS THE ENERGY NEEDED TO SOLVE THEM. GOD IS THE GOD OF GLORY AND GLORY IS HEAVINESS WITH UNLIMITED POWER, ABILITIES, AND RICHES, AND OVERFLOWING TO THOSE WHO WILL RECEIVE IT.

FOR HIS TRUE TRUSTING ONES, GOD HAS PROMISED TO:
1) FIGHT ALL THEIR BATTLES – Deuteronomy 20:4 for the LORD your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’
2) BE AN ENEMY TO THEIR ENEMIES – Exodus 23:22 But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
3) HEAL THEM- Exodus 15:26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
4) MEET AND SUPPLY ALL THEIR NEEDS – Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
5) GIVE THEM VICTORY – 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
6) HANDLE ANY PROBLEM GIVEN TO HIM – Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
7) DO MIRACLES FOR THOSE WHO TRUST HIM – JOHN 11: 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.

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

God’s supply is limitless and eternally yours. You will never exhaust God’s supply!
No matter what it is, your God is More Than Enough to supply your every need!

If Anyone Hears My Voice?

Then Samuel said: “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king.” 1 Samuel 15:22-23

The only real thing that matters in life is to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit in clarity speaking to each person. Failure to hear and heed is voice brings all kinds of troubles. For God’s word is unchanging:

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.’ So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ” Hebrews 3:7-11

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. Revelations 3:20

The music God provides to His people is different from the music the earth knows. It is sweet and full of His presence in their very souls. He wants them to cry out to God in their very souls and learn where they have gone wrong. The hardest thing it seems is for God’s people to face is their wrong doings. They can’t face them and would rather go on assured of their position without having His assurance and blessings upon them.

They have set in motion the thing that supports them in the form of a church and congregation members and go on without the Lord. They have ignored the words of God’s true prophets I have sent to them. They have ignored the Lord and refuse to speak the truth in love. They refuse to hear His Voice within them. There is hope for some of them but very few actually want change their ways and serve the Lord and obey His voice only. Just like the children of Israel they prefer to take orders from a pastor rather than the Holy Spirit.

As a result the waywardness of man places him in very precarious positions that leaves him far from the purposes God has called him to. He is destroyed by his own ways. He has forgotten to listen to God’s voice and heed His words and then cries when he receives no answer to his prayers.

His ways lead to death and destruction. He harbors only fair opinions of himself and God yet he does not do what takes courage to do. The Lord has told him in His Word to be of good courage and do His judgments and follow His statutes. But no, he has to ignore the truth and follow after the vain philosophies of men. Rather doing what men think best than what God thinks is best.

It seems that few Christians understand, that it is only by listening to God’s still small voice, daily and hourly, that real spiritual success and victories come. They must consult the Lord on everything, no matter how minute or small and He will guide them down the right path to true life and true success

The natural outpouring of their love and relationship with God should be that in all they have to do in life. It should be done in agreement with God and what He has taught them. His leading is available to them just as their very breath is for breathing life each day. The Lord is like their breath. He is life to them and they cannot breath without Him. They cannot live without Him. They have no peace and profit without Him. For He is their success and exceeding great reward.

If God’s people would recognize this, they would see the value in their fellow men more. They would not allow pride to enter into their relationship with God or man and hold them on a level of understanding that keeps them from advancing in the spiritual realm. For God has much He wants to teach His true Children, yet often He can’t even get through to them because they are so busy with their agendas, programs and lifestyle. Then they will complain in Heaven of their lack of rewards and possible expulsion. But He could have told them they failed to listen to Him and His Voice and put aside their pride and plans.

If their ‘works’ are more important to them than a relationship with the Lord they have failed to ‘see’ the truth. He does not desire sacrifice. He desires their attention. He desires their affection and dedication to God’s Voice and His Words.

All of the floral arrangements and beautiful homes or long business hours or hours spent in sports or teaching sports will not benefit them in Heaven if God has called them to His side and they did not come.

The Lord is he only thing in life more important than anything else. If only people would recognize that they would stop all their good works and beautification programs, they would love each other purely and simply. They would walk by God’s Spirit and not by their worldly opinions. What they think is valuable is usually not of any worth to Him if He was not the originator of it.

As physical exercise profits little in the spiritual realm so do many other activities people find to accomplish in life. Only service done in obedience to God’s Voice will be of any value in the Kingdom of God. How can man be so foolish? How can he be so callused to what God’s is really saying to him? How can they ignore the only One who matters more than life to them? Yet, over and over they seem to do just that.

All they do may be good. It may be pure. It may be profitable. But, if the Lord has not called them to do it, it is useless stubble and hay. The Lord has told them not to forget the assembling themselves together.’ Yet, they make it such a ritual and burden that it is of no more value to God or to them.

He told them to rest on Sunday and find one day of rest and yet they pack in all kinds of programs and activities and find no time to rest and be quiet before God. But He has ordained rest so that they can spend time with Him not all their plans and projects. For He is more important than anyone or anything else in their life yet they can’t even see the significance of this truth. Without God’s approval their efforts are all null and void.

Let all men be liars and God be true. What I have ordained in human lives will last forever. Those who hear God’s Voice and Do what He commands them are His greatest servants. It is not the singer or the preacher or the pastor or the teacher. It is those who do the difficult, the undesirable, the hard, the cold thankless jobs of life that are going to receive the greater part in Heaven.

God brought John the Baptist from his mother’s womb full of the Holy Ghost and fire and set him among men in rough cloths and eating locusts and honey. He did not provide him with the best mansion or the best delicacies for this table. And when it came to die John died in a dungeon and suffered the indignity of having his head cut off.

Yet, you would never have heard John complain. He knew in his heart what God had called him to and he loved it the bitter end. He knew who He was in Lord. He was a great prophet and servant of the living God and what he did, he did gracefully.

But for the so called Christians of today their teachings are half-baked. Their sacrifice non-existent. Their joy artificial. Their desires self-centered. Their giving meager. Their demands are many. Many have become greedy wolves full of themselves and their own projects and plans having little if anything to do with God’s or what He desires. They have closed their ears to God and He has done likewise. They ignored His voice speaking to them telling them:

“For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. Matthew 7:2

Arise O Lord Let Your Enemies Be Scattered

“For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.” Psalm 12:5

I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech. Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You From those who rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings, From the wicked who oppress me, From my deadly enemies who surround me. Psalm 17:6-9

God always has and always will be the burden-bearer for His people, as well as their rock, shield, high tower, defense, defender, friend, Lord and everything they need. For He has promised to be a God unto them and an enemy to their enemy and an adversary to their adversaries. He unlike others keeps His word. For after it is His word and He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end and the author and finisher of the Christian faith.

The Lord, Himself is the only Trustworthy in the Universe! He sets His true ones free because He loves them and only His grace can deliver them just as they are. His true children are prosperous and joyful because He has given them the Holy Spirit to lead and guide them into all truth and deliver them from their selfish ways.

The Lord remains always to His true ones THE GREAT I AM! He has given them the Kingdom when He had given them His only Son and His wonderful counselor the Holy Spirit. All of the Kingdoms great resources and power and Persons are at their disposal because of the name, which is above every name. Above every principality, power, diseases, sickness, lack, shortage, mountain, lack, enemy, need and thing under the sun or in the darkness.

Though, little they are not small. Though, weak they are not without resources. Though, helpless they are not without wisdom. Though, defenseless they are not without a defender. Their answer is always their Savior. He is their source of total supply. He is their friend and defender. They are to look to Him and not to the world, their friends, their family or themselves. There is no other who can deliver them but He Himself. He has not deserted them and has only begun His fight for He is their Lord and Savior. His word is unchanging:

“When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

“So it shall be, when you are on the verge of battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people. “And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; ‘for the LORD your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’ Deuteronomy 20:1-4

“Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him. “With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 2 Chronicles 32:7-9

There is no determining factor like this one—that Jesus Christ laid down His life for them and has placed His army at their disposal. His true ones may command them at will and they will do all of their bidding. Healing is theirs. Power is theirs. Miracles are theirs. Deliverance is theirs. Prosperity is theirs. Love of the Father is theirs. Wisdom is theirs. The Holy Spirit in Power and Glory is theirs. All is theirs because they have desired the very best, God Himself.

God is with them and He loves them. He will bless uplift and uphold them as well. He is their loving and marvelous Heavenly Father. He will not forsake them but will bless them to all eternity. They will become all they were called to become. They will see great victory and miracles. They will manifest Him and all His Power and Presence. They will walk in His ways and follow His paths He gives them to follow. They will be a great force of change in His timing, choosing, and ways. He will see many people healed because of their love for them and Him

For God will never leave them, fail them or forsake them. As He was with Abraham, Moses, Joseph and Jesus so He will be with them. The wealth of the heathen is stored up just for them His beloved. They are to reach out and take by faith what is rightfully theirs. They are His beloved and success is their middle name.

The sky was the limit. They could jump as high as they desire and far as they desire. For God is with them all the way. They have His unlimited resources at their disposal. Nothing need ever move them again. For God will establish them and prosper them and they will be unmoved by what they see. Their strength will come totally from Him who is their Lord, King and Mighty One. For His word is true”

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, But righteousness delivers from death. Proverbs 10:2

The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little. The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom. The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it. To do evil is like sport to a fool, But a man of understanding has wisdom.

The fear of the wicked will come upon him, And the desire of the righteous will be granted. When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation. Proverbs 10:20-25

For winnowing fork and sheave have not done their full work but when they have done it all those who fought against God’s true ones shall be no more. For the Lord is the grime reaper. He winnows His winnowing floor and separates the chaff from the wheat. When it is all over, He will have completed His task and been satisfied that a proper job has been done.

The wind of the Spirit is blowing a great and mighty gale. It is churning up the bulrushes and lily pads together. There is not one who will escape God’s wrath though they cry to Him with many tears. There are many who are already crying bitter tears but they forgot their first love and chose their own way, thinking it was the acceptable thing to do. But, it was never acceptable to God. They should have consulted Lord first, before they went on their selfish quest. They forgot, it is the real truth that sets men free, not one of their own making.

You see, truth is not relative or subject to men’s opinions or ideas. It is steadfast, unchanging and faithful. It is eternal and never will cease. It is not the infallibility of some words but the Person who spoke them that makes it eternal. Men worship even words, unfortunately, forgetting who spoke them. They worship each other, subject matter, their intellect, their beauty, and so much more but they forgot one thing-the one who gave it all to them-they forgot Me-the LORD!

For the wayward man is a froward man, he desires to place himself in the best seats in the house, the foremost positions in the office or the most beautiful house on the block. He is sure he is right about most things and has advice to offer everyone without thought or regard for their position or importance both on earth or in heaven.

He is always looking out for number one and never considers the needs of others. He is sure of what he does not really understand and wisdom is not in his mouth. He elevates himself rather than waiting to be elevated by others. He runs to see what he could glean for himself rather than what others may need.

He is always whispering in someone’s ear because he is sure he is very important and his advice worthy of receiving. He never cares totally for others but always reserves something in everything he does for himself. He cares for self most of the time unless by caring for another he glorifies himself. Even in this he is out to glorify himself.

The road to Mars Hill is dusty and hot and dank. It reeks of blood, guts and dead carcasses. These are those who died attaining their personal goals for wealth and fame. They climb over each other’s form never considering how the others got there or how they died. They only know to climb like zombies over the putrefying bodies to their seeming goals.

Men look down the road and up the road but when they think they have arrived there is nothing and no one for miles all around them. The place they find themselves in is barren and desolate. Even cactus and other desert creatures cannot survive where they have placed themselves in.

Men forget the truth that he who truly desires to survive does not travel alone but in companionship with others and their lives are tied to them. They can’t live alone, unto themselves, and expect to survive. This place is reserved only for the purely selfish, brothers and sisters, who believe in no other than themselves. This is the other side of heaven.

Whatever the name, there is more to life than living in an empty house, with an empty life, surrounded by empty inanimate things. Yes, they might be priceless and of great value but to God they are as worthless as the life that has buried it’s talent in the sand and walked away. It is of no value at all; and, after all, if God places no worth in such a life it has no place in the Kingdom or price. Therefore, a priceless live, is not worthy to be purchased and will be left to drift through life and death, without purpose or direction.

PROSPERITY

SEND NOW PROSPERITY

Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. —Psalm 118:25

I believe in prosperity.
Yes, by that I do mean spiritual well-being and physical health. But I also mean material or financial blessing. When the Apostle John declared, “Beloved,Iwishabove allthingsthatthou mayestprosperandbeinhealth, even asthysoulprospereth” (3 John 2), I believe his intent and meaning was to refer to three distinct areas of life—material, physical, and spiritual. His fervent desire was that we should thrive and flourish, or prosper, in every aspect of our being. This is the proper application of prosperity—balanced, sound, complete, and evenly emphasized.
Some people have argued that the phrase “that thou mayest prosper” does not refer to financial prosperity. They contend the phrase was nothing more than a common greeting, or idiom, of the day that simply meant, “May things go well for you.”
The Greek word translated “prosper” or “prospereth” in this text is “euodoo.” Euodoo is comprised of the words “hodos,” which means a road, and “eu,” which means good. Thus the Greek word eudoo (translated “prosper”) literally means a good road or a good journey. So even if in this instance the word did not mean specifically to prosper financially, at the very least it meant to have a good and prosperous journey.
I have a hard time understanding how anyone could have a good and prosperous journey if he didn’t have adequate provisions for the trip—if he was broke, lacking, and in poverty and want every step of the way.
Besides, this word translated “prosper” is the same Greek word the Apostle Paul used in First Corinthians 16:2 when he directed the believers in Corinth to set aside some money each week as God hath prospered him. Certainly and without doubt, the word prosper can be and is used in Scripture in reference to financial prosperity.

Poverty Does Not Produce Piety
As I said in the Introduction, the Church seems to have a hard time staying in the middle of the road on just about any Bible subject. When it came to the topic of prosperity, the church people of my day were off in the ditch on one side of the road. They had been taught that poverty produced piety and that God didn’t want His people to have anything.
I always heard preachers say, “I don’t want any of this world’s goods,” because they thought there was something wrong with this world’s goods.

But Psalm chapter 50 proves why it’s not wrong to have this world’s goods.
For every beast of the forest IS MINE, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. . . . If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for THE WORLD IS MINE, and the fulness thereof [that means that everything that’s in the world is God’s].—Psalm 50:10,12

Mark those verses in your Bible. Meditate on those verses and confess them.
The Lord showed me these verses because He had to get my thinking straightened out. I thought it was wrong to have anything. I thought a person ought to go through life with the seat of his britches worn out, the top of his hat worn out, and the soles of his shoes worn out, living on Barely-Get-Along Street way down at the end of the block right next to Grumble Alley!
That’s the kind of thinking many people in the church world have today. But they’re not thinking in line with God’s Word.
Sadly, too many Christians (preachers included) remind me of young birds just hatched, sitting in the nest, eyes shut and mouth wide open, waiting for momma to come and feed them. They will swallow whatever is poked into their mouths. Many people in the Church have been religiously brainwashed instead of New Testament-taught. Without knowing what the Bible says, and having limited spiritual discernment, they are tossed by every wind of doctrine.
So in time, even erroneous teachings become traditions not easily changed. They are passed down from one generation to another, and the new generation accepts the error without question because that’s “what we’ve always believed.”

Learn To Think in Line With God’s Word
You see, a lot of times, our thinking is wrong. It’s not in line with the Bible. And if our thinking is wrong, then our believing is going to be wrong. And if our believing is wrong, then our talking is going to be wrong.
You’ve got to get all three of them—your thinking, your believing, and your speaking—synchronized with the Word of God.
God has given us His Word to get our thinking straightened out. In my case, God knew my thinking was wrong because, as I said, in the denomination I’d been brought up in, we were taught that it was wrong to have anything. I began my ministry in this particular denomination, and they were great about praying for the pastor: “Lord, You keep him humble, and we’ll keep him poor.” And they thought they were doing God a favor!
Then in 1937, I was baptized in the Holy Ghost and spoke with other tongues. I got the “left foot of fellowship” from my denomination and came over among the Pentecostals. They were doubly that way about praying for the pastor. In other words, they doubled up on their praying: “Lord, You keep him humble, and we’ll keep him poor”!

What Does God’s Word Say?
The idea that God wants His children poor, having no material things, is totally unscriptural. The Bible has a great deal to say about money—about receiving it to meet personal needs and giving it to support the work of God and to bless others.
It is significant that many of God’s servants throughout the Bible were wealthy. I’m not talking about just being spiritually prosperous, either. I mean financially rich! The Bible says, “And

Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold” (Gen. 13:2). That verse doesn’t require much interpretation, does it?
First Kings chapter 10 tells of the queen of Sheba coming to visit King Solomon to see if he was as wise and great as she had heard. After testing him, asking many hard questions, she told him, “Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard” (1 Kings 10:7).
Job was also very wealthy. God’s Word says, “His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east” (Job 1:3). During the trials and suffering he endured, Job lost his great wealth. But God restored Job’s riches! How do I know? The Bible says, “So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses (Job 42:12).
In Second Chronicles 26:5, we read that as long as King Uzziah sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. It seems clear that God is not against prosperity; otherwise, He would have been violating His own principles when He prospered Uzziah and others.
It is important to realize that God is not against wealth and prosperity. But He is against people being covetous.

Qualifications for Walking in Prosperity
God wants to prosper His children. He is concerned about us and wants us to have good things in life. He said in His Word, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isa. 1:19). But God doesn’t want us to put “eating the good of the land” first.
Moses was an example of someone who didn’t put material things first. For example, Moses, who was raised by an Egyptian, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter when he grew up.
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.—Hebrews 11:24-26

Think about what Moses refused! He was the son of Pharaoh’s daughter—and he was in line for the throne! Moses had prestige, honor, and wealth. He had all the things the world had to offer. Yet Moses esteemed the reproach of Christ as greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt. Moses saw a difference between the people of God and the people of the world.
Some people are more interested in making a dollar than they are in serving God. But spiritual things must come first if you are going to be spiritual. You must esteem the things of God —spiritual things—more than earthly things.
One qualification for prospering is to esteem earthly things lightly. You cannot put earthly things above spiritual things and expect to prosper as God desires you to.
No, it’s not wrong to have money. It’s wrong for money to have you. It’s wrong for money to be your ruler or master or for you to consume finances on your own lusts.
God wants you to prosper financially! But your prosperity depends on your putting first things first. There are qualifications involved.
In the Old Testament, God told the Israelites to keep His statutes and walk in His commandments (Deuteronomy 28). God desires the same for us today. To put God’s Word first and to walk in the truth is spiritual prosperity.
Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, John writes, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 2). In the next two verses, John goes on to say that he had no greater joy than to hear that God’s people are indeed walking in the truth of God’s Word.
God told the Israelites, “Walk in My statutes and keep My commandments. Do that which is right in My sight, and I’ll take sickness away from the midst of you, and the number of your days I will fulfill” (Exod. 15:26; 23:26). That’s physical prosperity or divine healing and health.
The Lord also talked to the Israelites about their “basket and store” being blessed, their barns being filled, and about them being the head and not the tail (Deut. 28:1-14; Prov. 3: 10 ) . That’s material prosperity. But notice their physical and material prosperity depended upon their spiritual prosperity.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and BE IN HEALTH, EVEN AS THY SOUL PROSPERETH.
—3 John 2

John is talking about financial or material prosperity, physical prosperity, and spiritual prosperity. Notice that material and physical prosperity are dependent upon spiritual prosperity.

Put First Things First
The first Psalm is so beautiful and further confirms that God wants His people to prosper.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall PROSPER.—Psalm 1 : 1 -3

So, you see, God wants us to prosper. However, our need is to evaluate things as they should be evaluated—to esteem earthly things lightly and to put first things first.
Folks could have faith for healing or for anything the Word of God promises—prosperity, a healthy, happy family, long life—if they would just put first things first.
Determine in your heart to put spiritual things first and to esteem earthly things lightly. Put God first, even before your own self. You’ll be blessed spiritually, physically, and in every way—you and your family as well.

2. To get people born again
3. To get people Baptized with the Spirit
4. To get people operating in all the gifts of the Spirit
5. To get people healed and delivered
5a I would pray and lay hands on the sick, I would lay one hand on each side of the body. If I felt the fire jump from hand to hand, an evil spirit or demon was present in that body causing affliction. I should call him out in Jesus’ Name, and the demon or demons would have to go. If the fire, or the anointing, in my hands did not jump from hand to hand, it was a case of needing healing only.
I would pray for the person in Jesus’ Name, and if he would believe and accept it, the anointing would leave my hands and go into that person’s body, driving out the disease and bringing healing. When the fire or anointing left my hands and went into the person’s body, I would know he was healed

THE HUMBLE

The Lord is Good To Those Who Seek Him

“For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. “I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. “I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 36:9-11

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

Now the world, which has self-centered, selfish and greedy attitudes and hearts, foolishly advocates that the individual puts his own interests first, even above God. To look after themselves and ones needs above everything. They do not understand seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and especially doing to the best of one’s ability and great sacrifice God’s will concerning the needy, helpless, unfortunate, abused, afflicted, homeless, hungry, lonely, defenseless and despairing. They do not hear their cries and are not the lifter of their head.

They do not smile on them and give them encouragement nor take up their cause when no one would do it. They do not hear their heart’s cry and heed God’s Word which says to help the widowed, orphaned and naked. To visit those in the prison. To enlighten human hearts to set them free. To laud God praises rather than their own. To glorify God rather than themselves. To walk in His Spirit rather than their own. To lay aside their own needs and desires for the greater good.

The world does not understand God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, commands and ways. So it reaps what it has sowed misery, pain, suffering and death. But God trues ones do and they do great things on His behalf. Though they are not perfect the desire His ways purely but their hearts are pure before Him. Though they are not perfect always before Him, they can ask His forgiveness and He will give it freely to those who hearts are pure and perfect. As a result they can walk in their 100% victory to receive a hundred folds for their Savior, Father and King remains always to them THE GREAT I AM!

All the promises of God and faith have an important ingredient in the formula of true health, wealth and prosperity. If it is missing from the hearts and lives of the person, it will not work—the Holy Spirit! He is the presence we need to spend time with. The Word clearly teaches us that He is our Comforter and guide. He teaches us all things that no man need teach us.

The answer for a true Christian for everything is the Holy Spirit. Not just a slight mental assent of Him and His Presence and Power, but a deep determination to know the real Person of the Holy Spirit. Without Him we are nothing and there is no real change in a life. He is the source of our power and motivation to change.

Those who dangerously resist the gifts of the Holy Spirit are resisting the Person and Presence of the Holy Spirit and have cut off the very source of God’s Power in their lives. There are something’s God’s people must never do as a Christian and this is one of them. They need to spend time in the Presence of the Holy Spirit open to all of His ministrations, teachings and desires so they can grow in the spiritual realm becoming mature in the Spirit and not remaining babes and carnal Christians. They must not deny in the dark what they have seen in the light. They have seen the Holy Presence.

Now, they must give Him time to change, heal and rearrange their priorities. They are commanded to submit to Him and do their service humbly. It is only apart of a good Christian’s true service. They should not be proud of themselves but simply gratified that they are doing what they were commanded along time ago.

The Holy Spirit is able to cast their all their fear and unbelief by the very breath of His mouth. With the Presence of the Living God in ones life through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit the Power of the Holy Spirit a person can see real miraculous wonderful changes in his or her life and receive true prosperity, salvation, healing, deliverance and every good and needed things. .

The answer lies in the heart of each person. To receive the Holy Spirit totally and completely with out reservations and restrictions. To invite Him, yield to Him and His love will fill them and make them whole—that’s a promise from a God who does not lie, never fails and always loves. Only if a person turn his or her back on Him and the truth that they know could they ever again be separated from Him.

God’s true ones must stay close to Him and remember that their victory rests within their choices based on faith in God and the presence and person of the Holy Spirit to lead, guide and counsel them. Then they will have the kind of success, riches and prosperity that will last for an eternity! They can loose all the good things they desire in Jesus name because it is all and always was theirs. They can stand and call it forth. It is all theirs. The opportunities, the friendships, the ministry, the gifts, the victory, the harmony, the finances, the prosperity and much, much, much more. All that is wonderful and good is theirs in Christ.

The joy, peace, compassion, harmony, wisdom, discretion, discernment, justice, righteousness, truth and abundance. It is all within them. Innately it is already theirs. They can walk in their abundance because God in Christ Jesus has given them the Kingdom as His beloved children. It is all theirs and they can walk in it with Love.

All of God’s children can walk in His presence and peace and promises and spoken prophetic words. Walk in His person minute by minute! He has much more for them. He has much He wants to share with them. He loves them deeply to the point of hurt in His very spirit! He has much for them, as they just trust Him! And they can have His Kingdom! It’s theirs! He gives it to them! All the silver and gold and diamonds are theirs! All the beauty of the knowledge of His is theirs!

They are to ask and they shall receive! Ask that their joy may be full! Ask for He is the one who will open the windows of heaven and pour out a great and deep blessing to them and their loved ones! As they trust and walk in Him, He bless them in grandchildren and finances and riches of heaven and earth! He is not afraid to give them the Kingdom for after all they are His children, chosen and called out ones.

God true ones can walk in the joy of their salvation for their Savior is here. He will deliver them from the noisome pestilence and the cankerworm must cease. They have commanded it many times and God will make it true. As they continue to walk in faith in Him they will see all their true desires manifested.

God will not let them go without reward for He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek an serve Him as His humble servants. They will be paid back for their faithfulness. They are to ask all they desire because it is all theirs as all the Word is theirs for God’s word says it:

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:31-32)

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; and again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come-all are yours. And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s. (1 Corinthians 3:10-23)

Our Lord Jesus came down to earth to be our Savior. Take heart and rejoice, because He is still in the business of saving, healing and restoring.

“Then the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord'” (Lk 2:10–11)

A RIVER

Leave a reply

The Rains Are Coming

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” Revelations 22:1-7

The Lord the Creator of heaven and earth is the One who is the River and who created the terminology the former and latter rain. For His word is unchanging:

‘And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, ‘then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. ‘And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.’ Deuteronomy 11:13-15.

In the light of the king’s face is life, And his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain. Proverbs 16:15

Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you-The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. Joel 2:23

Ask the LORD for rain In the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone. For the idols speak delusion; The diviners envision lies, And tell false dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wend their way like sheep; They are in trouble because there is no shepherd. Zechariah 10:1-2

It’s the Lord desire to give His people rain for their land in its season, the early rain and the latter. He has told them to ask for the rain in the time of the latter rain and He would give them showers of rain. Especially when they are in trouble because their prophets and preachers and shepherds are false, speak delusion, envision lies, tell false dreams and have led the people astray. God’s word’s records:

“They say, ‘If a man divorces his wife, And she goes from him And becomes another man’s, May he return to her again?’ Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the harlot with many lovers; Yet return to Me,” says the LORD. “Lift up your eyes to the desolate heights and see: Where have you not lain with men? By the road you have sat for them Like an Arabian in the wilderness; And you have polluted the land With your harlotries and your wickedness. Therefore the showers have been withheld, And there has been no latter rain. You have had a harlot’s forehead; You refuse to be ashamed.

Will you not from this time cry to Me, ‘My father, You are the guide of my youth? Will He remain angry forever? Will He keep it to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken and done evil things, As you were able.” Jeremiah 3:1-5

God, who is a God of mercy and of Justice, when He pours out judgment on the land for their wickedness, stands ready to pour out the showers of the latter rain to revive and restore them and to heal and deliver them.

Because of the prayers of God’s true ones, the River is flowing from the throne above all over the land. It is bringing great deliverance and great changes to the hearts of men. The Lord has ordained that the River flows from the north to the south and then back again. This is the Lord’s decree and command that everyone who comes to the River drinks of Him and is filled to well full if they so desire. For He desires that they walk in peace and joy in the Lord wherever they go, so they can be filled with peace and joy and bring many others to drink from the River of Life.

For the Lord is that River and He descends like a great with Hawk from the heights of Heaven and cover the land with His Wings and heals the scared and broken land. He heals the people and He heals the place and He heals the land. He is the great Healer and His middle Name is Justice.

But, if men would rather have His Peace, Joy and Holy Ghost rather than justice, then they must do what He has commanded them in His Word and walk by His Inner Voice. Then they will avoid the rigors of God’s Justice, because He will set them free from their ways and teach them His ways. His word is unchanging:

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’S house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” Isaiah 2:2-3

There is no peace like the Lord’s peace. There is no joy like His joy. There is no river quite like His River! It is time for the road to end at God’s Presence. It is time for the church to arise as in one accord and sing His praises! It is time for the wounds to be healed and the people to be set free. It is time to open wide the door and let the Son come in! It is time!

Perfect is not what men have to be to please the Lord but simply totally surrendered. Many have incorrect doctrines and half understandings about the Lord yet they are loved by Him and are useable in His service. For the Lord is always with and never against His true children. Their enemy is the devil and his legions but they are defeatable for their Commander-in-Chief is with them and the battle is the Lords!

But the river is flowing deep within the hearts of certain men. It is flowing and bringing victory with it. It is running freeing in some and not so freely in others. It is running and bringing healing and blessings with it. The river is moving in the lives of men and bringing the changes they desire.

It is flowing and miracles are part of this great outpouring of the river. It is growing this river in their lives and it is coming right from their very bellies. It is changing them forever like the cucumber becomes a pickle when cured in brine. This river is salt water. It cures all who enters it and they are never the same again because of the chemical action it has on them.

Now, they have become cleansed in the brine. They are healed by the salt in their wounds. They are touched by the compassion of the person of the river. They are never the same again. Never the same again. Never the same again. They are moved to do what the river tells them do. They can never be what they once were. They are changed forever by the might and power of the river.

Just being next to the river brings shivers down their spins but even more they are moved to walk in it and then to flow in it and finally to become apart of it and imbibe it so they are intoxicated by it’s very presence. They can’t help themselves they are apart of the mighty river now. They can never be the same again. They can never be the same again. They can never be the same again. They are a part of the river.

The weapons of our warfare are many and varied but the greatest weapon is the river of life. It brings true deliverance, miracles and healings. It brings balance and perspective and wisdom. It brings shrewdness, discretion and discernment. It brings all subtleties into play and teaches the student how to use the delicate tools with grace and deep wisdom.

Then the marching orders are given and the battle carries on. It rages from one end of the earth to the other. It never stops, not even for a moment. It never stops even though many think it non-existent. It is always raging on.

But, God has His brave warriors ready for battle and His wounded are brought back behind the lines and cared for but just one touch of the river and the wounded are ready for battle again. It just takes a touch but better an entire ocean.

Then those who have learned to take the river with them teach others to take it with them as well. They learn, grow and mature and because mighty rivers themselves until all around them flow in the river and are sustained for the many battles to come.
