I prayed, appropriated the promises of God, and stood my ground. But at times it looked like I wasn’t going to make it.<br /><br />One such night I had a dream. I dreamed another man and I were on some kind of a parade ground. It was like a football field. There were stands on either side. As we walked along talking, suddenly the man looked back and yelled, “Look!” and he started running. I turned and saw that two ferocious lions were almost upon me. I ran about two steps. Then I hollered to the other man, <i>“You’ll never make it! You can’t outrun them!”</i> I stopped still, turned around, and faced them. I was trembling. My flesh was covered with goose pimples. But I said, “I stand against you. I refuse to budge in the Name of Jesus Christ.” The lions stopped, came right up to me, sniffed around my feet, and just trotted off. I awoke, and </b><span style="color: #990000;"><b>First Peter 5:8</b></span><b style="color: #38761d;"> came to my mind. I knew my physical battle was won. I received healing immediately. I had almost run, but I stood my ground. I had used my authority.<br /><br />Confession: <i>I resist the devil steadfast in the faith. I stand my ground. I use my authority. And the devil runs from me as if in terror.</i></b></span><p><i>AMEN! NEVER forget to remember that the ENEMY is your REAL ENEMY! He is out only to steal, kill or destroy every part of your life!

He doesn’t have to exert any strength himself; he’s strong in the authority that’s been given to him.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">That is what the Lord is telling us.

measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give
into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be
measured to you again.'</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">This verse reveals one of God's cardinal laws that will work
in the spiritual realm, as well as the physical world. Just as we 'give' seed
into the ground to receive back multiple seeds, so it is with everything we
give. Whether it's money, possessions, an emotion such as love or hate,
prayers, or our time, we will reap a harvest of whatever we give. We reap
exactly what we sow and proportional to the same measure that we give (</span><span style="color: #990000;"><i>Galations 6:7-8</i></span><span style="color: #38761d;">).</span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">'He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he
which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully' (<i>2 Corinthians 9:6</i>)</span><span style="color: #38761d;">. This law
works on positive or negative things that we sow.</span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Although this is an unchangeable law of God, it can be
overcome by a greater law in much the same way that we can escape the law of
gravity by using the greater laws of thrust and lift. The negative things we
have given don't have to come back to us if we apply the greater law of
forgiveness (</span><i><span style="color: #990000;">1 John 1:9</span></i><span style="color: #38761d;">). Likewise, the good things we have sown can be voided
if we don't continue in well doing (</span><i><span style="color: #990000;">Galatians 6:9</span></i><span style="color: #38761d;">).</span></b></span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><b><u>God is our source, but God uses people.</u> If we pray for
finances, God is not going to make counterfeit currency and put it into your
wallet. He will use people to get the money to you. So, it is not always as
simple as praying for money and receiving it the next minute. We need to
believe the Lord hears and answers our prayers, and then pray for the people
He's going to use to deliver the answer. This could mean any number of people
such as our employer and the people who buy our goods. <u>Ultimately God is your
source, trust Him.</u></b></span></p><p><i>AMEN!

To-day the separation is more of a mental and moral separation from the way that those who are dearest to us look at things, that is, if they have not a personal relationship with God. Jesus Christ emphasized this (see </span><i><span style="color: #990000;">Luke 14:26</span></i><span style="color: #38761d;">).</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Faith never knows where it is being led, <u>but it loves and knows the One Who is leading</u>. It is a life of faith, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us “go.” The root of faith is the knowledge of a Person, and one of the biggest snares is the idea that God is sure to lead us to success.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">The final stage in the life of faith is attainment of character. There are many passing transfigurations of character; when we pray we feel the blessing of God enwrapping us and for the time being we are changed, then we get back to the ordinary days and ways and the glory vanishes. The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting. It is not a question of sanctification; but of something infinitely further on than sanctification, of faith that has been tried and proved and has stood the test.

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. <i>Hebrews 5:13-14</i></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">You're spiritually "grown up" or mature when, through practice, you have trained your senses to discern between good and evil. You've practiced walking in the spirit and renewing your mind by the Word of God until even your flesh habitually goes God's way instead of the world's way.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Stop and think for a moment. Aren't there some things your old flesh used to pressure you to do before you made Jesus Lord of your life that you don't even want to do anymore?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">There are for me. For example, I used to smoke tobacco, and I felt sorry for all those Christians who couldn't. But you know what? Now that I'm a believer, I have no desire for tobacco anymore. It is not even part of my thoughts, much less my lifestyle.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><u>That's the kind of thing that happens as you feed and renew your mind on the Word of God</u>. It doesn't necessarily happen quickly or easily. Your flesh may fight and buck for a while because it's been trained to go the way of the world so long. <u>But if you stick with the Word and keep growing, your flesh can develop the habit of righteousness just like it developed the habit of unrighteousness.</u></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Don't starve your spirit by trying to get by on just a little spiritual milk now and then. <u>Develop the habit of feeding on the solid food of the Word every day and find out what real maturity is all about.</u></span></b></span><p><i>AMEN! develop a hunger and thirst for the Word of God!

He has risen; He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.<br />7 But be going; tell the disciples and Peter, He goes before you into Galilee; you will see Him there, [just] as He told you.<br />8 Then they went out [and] fled from the tomb, for trembling and bewilderment and consternation had seized them. And they said nothing about it to anyone, for they were held by alarm and fear.</b></span><p><i>Notice the reaction of the women who went after the Sabbath to anoint the body of Jesus when they saw the angel! The stone was rolled away, Jesus was not there, and the angel told them the TRUTH, but they did not believe out of fear! Then we see this in <b><span style="color: #990000;">verses 9-14</span></b>:</i></p><span style="color: #990000; font-family: inherit;"><b>9 Now Jesus, having risen [from death] early on the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons.<br />10 She went and reported it to those who had been with Him, as they grieved and wept.<br />11 And when they heard that He was alive and that she had seen Him, they did not believe it.<br />12 After this, He appeared in a different form to two of them as they were walking [along the way] into the country.<br />13 And they returned [to Jerusalem] and told the others, but they did not believe them either.<br />14 Afterward He appeared to the Eleven [apostles themselves] as they reclined at table; and He reproved and reproached them for their unbelief (their lack of faith) and their hardness of heart, because they had refused to believe those who had seen Him and looked at Him attentively after He had risen [from death].</b></span><p><i>Mary believed when she saw JESUS!

He talks in the most simple way. We know Who Jesus is, but in spite of that He
says – </span><span style="color: #990000;">“Will ye also go away?”</span><span style="color: #38761d;"> We have to maintain a venturing attitude toward

they relapsed. </u>Many to-day are spending and being spent in work for Jesus
Christ, <u>but they do not walk with Him</u>. The one thing God keeps us to steadily
is that we may be one with Jesus Christ. After sanctification the discipline of
our spiritual life is along this line. If God gives a clear and emphatic
realisation to your soul of what He wants, do not try to keep yourself in that
relationship by any particular method, but live a natural life of <u>absolute
dependence on Jesus Christ</u>. <u>Never try to live the life with God on any other
line than God’s line, and that line is absolute devotion to Him.</u> The certainty
that I do not know – that is the secret of going with Jesus.</span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><b>Peter only saw in Jesus Someone to minister salvation to him

Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind . . . . — <i>ROMANS 12:2</i></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">When God’s Word tells us not to be conformed to this world, notice that it relates conformity to the area of the mind. In other words, <u>we are told not to think like the world thinks</u>; we are to get our mind renewed with the Word of God and think in line with the Word of God. <u>Then we will talk and believe in line with the Word of God.</u></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><u>The world is programmed negatively</u>. The world thinks sickness, fear, doubt, defeat, and failure. That’s because the world without God is in spiritual death. Therefore, it is programmed to death instead of life. Listen to what people say: <i>“That scares me to death.”</i></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">If Christians do not renew their minds with the Word of God, they will make the same mistake the world makes. They’ll talk themselves into sickness. But if we’ll renew our mind with the Word of God, we’ll know that God says, </span><span style="color: #990000;">“. . . the tongue of the wise is health” (<i>Proverbs 12:18</i>).</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Confession: <i>I never talk sickness; I don’t believe in sickness.

Many dear Christian people don’t keep their mouths and tongues under control. They’re always saying wrong words. Just about all they ever talk about is what a battle they’ve had with the devil. Words of defeat are wrong. Words of failure are wrong. Words about how the devil is hindering you, how he’s keeping you from success, how he’s making you sick and keeping you sick, are wrong. Such words give Satan dominion over you and create troubles.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">But when you have God’s Word in your heart, and speak it out of your mouth — right in the face of apparent contradictions, right in the face of pain, right in the face of alarming symptoms, right in the face of excruciating circumstances — such adverse conditions will disappear.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Confession: <i>I keep my mouth, and I keep my tongue.

These sacrifices, however, <u>could not remove their sins</u>. It was not until Jesus gave His life and His holy, spotless blood to remove our sins that we could experience true cleansing and freedom from a consciousness of our sin.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">The Bible says,</span><span style="color: #990000;"> “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit” (<i>Romans 8:1 NKJV</i>).</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">· <u>Condemnation points to your sin; the blood of Christ points to God’s forgiveness and mercy.</u></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">· <u>Condemnation makes you aware of your failure and weakness; the blood of Christ makes you aware of God’s grace and mercy.</u></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">· <u>Condemnation highlights your inability; the blood of Christ frees you to walk in His ability and power.</u></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Because we are no longer under the Law, we should no longer be <u>“sin conscious.”</u> Through God’s grace, we have the ability to instead be <u>“righteous conscious.”</u> We develop this righteous consciousness <u>by reading God’s Word</u> and<u> meditating on His forgiveness, mercy, grace, and all that the blood of Christ has provided for us.</u></span><u><br /></u><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><u>A righteous consciousness produces great personal freedom.</u> When we are righteous conscious, we can live as God intends, enjoying freedom from the negative thoughts and emotions that would burden us down.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Only through Jesus are you free from sin and its effects. The price He paid was greater than any sin you may have committed. You can walk with your head high, knowing that the blood of Jesus didn’t just cover your sins—<u>it removed them.</u></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Confession: <i>Thank You, Jesus, for shedding your blood for me and removing my sin. Because of Your sacrifice, I am redeemed and free from all condemnation and sin consciousness.</i></span></b></span><p><i>AMEN and HALLELUJAH! THIS is our NEW and BETTER COVENANT!

It involves replacing your wrong beliefs with right beliefs based on God’s Word.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">When Jesus saw the man with the withered hand, He didn’t just see the withered hand, He saw that there was more than enough grace for that hand to be made completely whole. Jesus said to the man, </span><span style="color: #990000;">“Stretch out your hand!” The man did as told, and his hand was completely restored and made as whole as his other hand (<i>Mark 3:1–5</i>)</span><span style="color: #38761d;">.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Now, you don’t say </span><span style="color: #990000;">“stretch out your hand” </span><span style="color: #38761d;">to someone whose hand is obviously shriveled and disabled unless you see differently. Jesus sees differently from you and me.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">That’s why we need to go back to God’s Word and learn to see what He sees. When Jesus sees a disease, a lack, or someone trapped in fear, guilt, addiction, and sin, He doesn’t just see the problem. He sees God’s healing, grace, and power superabounding in that area of weakness.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">You too can change what you believe by seeing beyond what your natural eyes see. Press in to see what God sees. In your very area of lack, struggle, or challenge, see His superabounding grace all around your current situation.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Jesus says to you today, </span><span style="color: #990000;">“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (<i>2 Corinthians 12:9</i>)</span><span style="color: #38761d;">. Give all your weaknesses, failings, and mistakes to the Lord Jesus and see Him transform your weaknesses into strengths.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><u>What you believe is powerful, so are you going by what you see or what God sees?</u></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">You may not be able to stop negative thoughts from passing through your mind or unhealthy emotions such as fear gripping your heart but you can definitely anchor your thoughts and emotions on the unshakable Word of God. You can certainly ensure that you believe right regarding what God says about you in His Word, which contains His precious promises to you.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">The more you learn and believe right about His love and what His Word says about your situation and your life, the more your thoughts will line up with His thoughts about you. You’ll begin to develop thoughts of peace and not of evil, thoughts of hope and a bright future (</span><i><span style="color: #990000;">Jeremiah 29:11</span></i><span style="color: #38761d;">). And you’ll be transformed!</span></b></span><p><i>AMEN! DARE to BELIEVE God and His Word! Your LIFE and PEACE depend on it!
