Rely on Him

Psalm 63:7-8
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

James 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Power Points

How many times in our lives have we said, "I just can't deal with this."?

Or we have said, "This is just too much for me to deal with."

God allows us to be in "I CAN'T TAKE IT!" situations for a purpose.

The purpose is to remind us that we are to rely on Him alone.

The difficulties that we face in life highlight our weaknesses.

God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

When in a pressing situation, just go ahead and give it to God, remember you can't take it!

Go FOWARD!

Ephesians 6:13
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Power Points

In Ephesians Paul encourages us to put on the whole armor of God in order to withstand evil.

If you notice there is no armor listed that covers our back.

Perhaps this is because we should also be moving FORWARD and not backward!

We should not be reliving and rehearsing our past hurts and disappointments.

By living in the past, we cripple our own selves for battle because those thoughts lead us to depression, anger, withdrawal, and bitterness.

We must pressed towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).

Focus on Jesus and trust Him. He will give you perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3).

Only Believe

Mark 5:22-23,35-36

Verses 22-23
And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

Verses 35-36
While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

Power Points

Jairus made his request to Jesus, asking him to come and heal his daughter.

Jairus spoke that if Jesus laid his hands on her she may be healed and shall live.

However before they got back to Jarius' house, he got a bad report.

Sometimes, even while we are walking with Jesus and waiting on him to do what we have asked of him, we will get a bad report.

Jesus responded and told Jairus not to be afraid, only believe.

God has not given us the spirit of fear.

We can not allow our situations and circumstances cause fear and ultimately doubt to form in our hearts and minds.

At all costs we must BELIEVE!!!

Believe Enough to Speak It in Advance

Mark 5:25-29,34
And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
Verse 34
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Power Points

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

We must have enough faith and belief in God, His word, and His promises to speak things into existence before we ever feel or see it.

The woman with the issue of blood spoke her healing before she felt it.

Jesus went on to tell her that it was her FAITH that made her whole.

Trust God enough to speak even though you don't see it.

Spiritual Warfare: Got Your Armor On, Now What? (Part 4)

II Chronicles 20:1-26 (Jehoshaphat's Story)

REALIZE THE BATTLE IS WON!!!
Verses 23-25
For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
Power Points

Once they praised the Lord, the Lord handled their enemies.

Their enemies turned on each other and destroyed themselves.

By the time they made it to the battle their enemies were slain.

Not only were they victorious over their enemies, God blessed them indeed with all the spoil (treasures) of the enemy.

The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. Proverbs 13:22

Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:37

Spiritual Warfare: Got Your Armor On, Now What? (Part 3)

II Chronicles 20:1-26 (Jehoshaphat's Story)

PRAISE THE LORD
Verses 18-22
And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high. And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
Power Points

Jehoshaphat is definitely in a battle.

First he sought the Lord. Then the Lord assured him that the battle belonged to the Lord.

After this assurance Jehoshaphat and the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem praised the Lord.

In other words they danced in advance, you see the praise occurred before the battle even began!

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1
