Praying For Israel by Lynne Hammond

Praying For Israel by Lynne Hammond

This is an unchanging spiritual truth set forth clearly in Scripture: Those who bless the nation of Israel will be blessed. Yet, I find as I travel and minister that a startling percentage of Christians aren’t doing anything about that truth.

It’s not that they don’t believe it. For the most part, they do. They know that God declared to Abraham and his descendants, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you” (Genesis 12:3 NKJV). They’ve seen that declaration repeated and confirmed throughout the Bible.

Their theological position on the issue is right. There’s just one problem. They neglect to act on it.

To be perfectly honest, we all make that mistake at times. We don’t intend to, of course. We simply forget about the little Jewish nation that for most of us is multiplied thousands of miles away. We get caught up in our own day-to-day lives. We get focused on our personal plans and forget that we’re a part of God’s great big eternal plan—a plan that includes not only us as individuals and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ but the nation of Israel as well.

Today I’m writing to remind you of that plan and to stir you to action. I’m writing to ask you to pray for Israel. “Oh, Lynne, I’d like to do that,” you might say, “but I don’t watch the news very much.

I don’t know what to pray because I have no idea what’s going on over there right now.” That’s okay. The Holy Spirit knows and He’ll show you what to pray if you let Him.

He’ll not only prompt you concerning current events and needs, He’ll give you prayer directions that come straight from the Bible—directions based not on the news or on political whim and opinion, but on God’s eternal, unchanging Word. Directions like these:

Number ONE: Pray For The Land

When it comes to understanding the land of Israel, secular news media (and most politicians) always get it wrong, so they can’t help you. They think the Jews’ presence in the land of Israel is the obstacle to peace in the Middle East. “If Israel would give up more land, things would settle down,” they say. But the truth is just the opposite. The more Israeli land is put into the hands of other nations, the more trouble there will be—for everybody.

Here’s why. It’s not just a piece of real estate they’re arguing about over there. It’s God’s property. It’s the only land mass in all the earth God has chosen for Himself and given to the Jews. Think of it! In all the world, it’s the only one.

Anybody who thinks the land of Israel isn’t important to God should think again or, better yet, read the Bible because it leaves no doubt about the issue. It records with great care the God-ordained boundaries of Israel. It tells how, time and again, God reminded the Israelites that He had given it to them and commanded them to possess it. (Thirty-two times in Deuteronomy alone!)

The Bible says in unmistakable terms that “the Lord made a covenant (promise, pledge) with Abram, saying, To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18 Amp).

As contemporary Christians, we sometimes miss the seriousness of that verse. We don’t fully grasp what a covenant really is. We think of it as a contract and since we have lawyers who help us break contracts whenever it suits us, we figure that over the years God probably changed His mind about giving the land to the Jews. But that’s not the way God operates.

He never breaks His covenants. He meant it when He said to Abraham in the land of Canaan, “Lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your posterity forever”  (Genesis 13:14–15).

Forever. That one word ends all debate. It settles the fact that God’s gift of land to Israel wasn’t just a temporary loan. It wasn’t just Old Testament stuff. It was part of an everlasting covenant.

A three-Fold Cord

To pray aright, this is what we as believers must understand and remember. God has bound the land of Israel to the Jews. He has bound the Jews to the land. And He has bound Himself to both of them. It’s a divine three-fold cord and anybody who tries to break it gets into serious trouble.

Ezekiel 36 makes that crystal clear. There God speaks about how the enemies of the Jews try to claim portions of Israel for themselves. He prophesies to the land (not to people but to the land! Isn’t that interesting?) and says that other nations have “snapped after and crushed you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and you became the talk and evil gossip of the people” (v. 3). Sounds like it could have been written yesterday, doesn’t it?

Read through Ezekiel 36:5–10 (Amp) and you’ll see that the first thing we can pray concerning Israel is for the land. We can pray for it to be restored from the ravages of the enemies who have tried to steal it. We can pray for the land to be productive and for its cities to be rebuilt. (Other people might complain when Israel builds 1,600 new homes for Jews in East Jerusalem, but we say, “Yea! God’s will is coming to pass. The cities are being rebuilt.”)

“But what about the Palestinians?” somebody might ask. “They’re descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael. Why don’t they have just as much right to the land as the Jews do? Doesn’t God love them too?”

Absolutely, God loves the Palestinians. Jesus died for them just like He died for the rest of us, and the Bible says that’s the greatest expression of love there is. Yet the fact remains that the land of Israel wasn’t given to Ishmael. It was given to Isaac. Just read Genesis 25:5-6 (Amp) and you’ll see this truth.

The “east country” refers to the Arabian Peninsula. That’s what Ishmael was given and it’s a huge chunk of land. So huge that you might wonder why his descendants are determined to take possession of Israel too. But it’s really no mystery.

Satan is always fighting God’s Word. He is always trying to stop it from coming to pass. He would love to see the land divided and the Jews pushed out of it. So he perpetually provokes and manipulates people toward those ends. In a nutshell, that is the reason for all the trouble in the Middle East.

Anyone who thinks the question of Israel is a geopolitical one is mistaken. It’s spiritual. That’s why it’s so important to us as believers. God says that when the Jews possess the land, “I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations … and the nations shall know that I am the Lord” (Ezekiel 36:23 NKJV). A Jewish

Israel brings glory to God. And as Christians, glorifying God is what we’re all about.

Number TWO: Pray For the Jews To Come Home—To the Land and To God

To find additional direction about how to pray for Israel, all we have to do is read the next verse in Ezekiel 36. There, God says to the Jews, “I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land” (v. 24).

As you probably know, the Jews were dispersed all over the world several thousand years ago after the destruction of the first temple. Some of the tribes got so lost that even today nobody can find them. But in our generation, we’ve seen a miracle take place. We’ve seen Jews streaming back home, back to the land of Israel from all over the globe.

Some Jews, however, are still being held captive because they live in nations that won’t let them go. One group I pray about a lot right now is the Jews in China. Isaiah 49:12 speaks specifically about them. It says, “Behold, these shall come from afar—and, behold, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim (China).”

That’s the verse I base my faith on when I pray for the Jews in that nation to be released. I’ve been told there are about 2,000 of them there right now but I am praying and believing that very soon they will all come home.

I don’t stop there, either. I also pray for the Jews’ spiritual homecoming. I pray for God not only to restore them naturally by bringing them back to the land but to restore their relationship to Him as well. That’s His will and His plan. Speaking to the Jews about the time of their return to Israel, He said:Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness; and from all your idols will I cleanse you. A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them. And you shall dwell in the land that I have to your fathers; and you shall be My people and I will be your God. (Ezekiel 36:25–28 Amp)

One of the best ways I can think of to bless the people of Israel is to pray for their spiritual restoration. What better gift could they receive?

Number three: Pray For the Peace Of Jerusalem

One thing most everybody agrees on today is that Jerusalem is a holy city. It’s holy to the Jews. It’s holy to the Christians. And it’s holy to the Muslims. But it’s only promised to one of those groups. God promised it to the Jews. It is not only a sacred part of their past, it is central to their God-ordained future.

This, too, is something many believers haven’t understood. Certainly, they know about the city’s biblical history. They know Jerusalem was the site for the first Jewish temple, the one Solomon built and that it was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. They know many years later, a less glorious version of the temple was rebuilt by Herod and that it was destroyed by the Romans about 70 A.D.

But that’s not the end of the matter. Bible prophecy reveals that when Jesus returns to reign on the earth, He will come to Jerusalem and build a third millennial temple there. It will rest on the original site of Mount Moriah and be the most glorious temple of all.

I can’t go into detail about it here but to get an idea of how important Jerusalem will be during the Millennium, read about it in Ezekiel 43. That chapter tells how the glory of God will fill the temple at that time and remain there forever. It declares that Mount Moriah will always be most holy and separated unto the Lord.

The prophet Zechariah adds that in those days the Lord Himself will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: …and Jerusalem shall be called the [faithful] City of Truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the Holy Mountain. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Old men and old women shall again dwell in Jerusalem and sit out in the streets…And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets…Behold, I will save My people from the east country and from the west…And I will bring them [home] and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God in truth and faithfulness and in righteousness. (Zechariah 8:3–8 Amp)

Most wonderful of all is what the book of Isaiah tells us about Jerusalem. It says that during the Millennium “…all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall come and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law and instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem” (Isaiah 2:2–3 Amp).

Can you see how precious Jerusalem is to God? No wonder the Bible says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love you [the Holy City]” (Psalm 122:6 Amp).

In Hebrew, the word peace means “to be whole with nothing missing, nothing broken.” So that’s how we should pray for Jerusalem. We should pray that it would not be divided but kept intact under the sovereignty of Israel. We should pray that the people in it would be safe and prosperous.

Because Israel’s leaders are keys to those things, I often pray for them as well. These days I pray personally for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister; for the Vice Prime Minister, Moshe Yaalon; for the head of the Mossad, Tamir Pardo; for Defense Minister, Ehud Barack; and for the Chief of Staff, Gabi Ashkenazi. I also pray for generals and others in the military who because of the current situation with Iran are so vital these days.

Oh, friends, let’s not forget to pray often for the peace of Jerusalem!

Number FOUR: Pray For America To Do The Right Thing

Although I love Israel, I want you to know this: I also love the other nations and America in particular. The Lord gave me a prayer assignment for her many years ago and today it is stronger than it’s ever been. I want America to be blessed.

I want her to fulfill God’s plan and purpose. And to do that, she must deal with Israel not according to political opinion but according to the Word of God.

Those who bless Israel will be blessed. So as Americans, one of the greatest things we can do for our nation is to pray for America to bless the nation of Israel.

In what ways should we bless it?

Our government should recognize Jerusalem as its capital, for one thing.

God says it’s the capital, the Jews say it’s the capital, and we should agree with them. Congress should also continue to provide aid to Israel whenever it’s needed.

And our national leaders should refuse to join those who are criticizing Israel and be supportive instead.

As believers, we’re instructed to pray for “kings and for all that are in authority” (1 Timothy 2:2) and one of the things we can pray is for God to turn the hearts of our leaders so that they treat Israel with favor and wisdom.

That’s crucial if the United States of America is to stand as a sheep nation in the millennial judgment and not be destroyed with the goats.

I can almost hear someone thinking right now. What’s this about sheep and goats? What are you talking about?

I asked the same thing when I first started praying about Israel many years ago. I had no clue about the sheep/goat judgment until the Holy Spirit spoke to me about it in prayer and warned me that in the last days Satan would try to turn America into a goat nation. The Lord explained it by pointing me to Matthew 25.

Take a moment to read through what Jesus said in Matthew 25:31–36, 40–43, 45 NKJV.

I used to assume that Jesus was talking about personal judgment in this passage. But He wasn’t. He was teaching about the judgment of the nations, and the “brethren” He refers to are the Jews.

Once I saw what qualifies a nation to be a sheep nation is blessing and helping Israel, I began praying for America’s leaders to stay on the sheep side of things! Sheep nations don’t oppress the Jews or try to push them off their land.

Sheep nations don’t make evil compromises and alliances with Israel’s enemies.

That’s what goat nations do and they don’t have any place in the ultimate plan for the ages. They end up destroyed and forgotten.

I don’t want America to end up as a goat nation. I’m sure you don’t either, so let’s keep this prayer point before the Lord.

Since this is an election year, we also have opportunity to put feet to our prayers. There are many different criteria to consider when pondering how we should vote and one of them must be the candidates’ attitude toward Israel.

When I have an opportunity to talk to government officials, this is always my first question to them: What are you going to do about Israel?

To be honest, it’s a question we must also ask ourselves, as individual believers.

We Walk By Faith Not By Sight

“Many people miss out on experiencing God’s mighty power because they will not act unless they can see how everything will work out. They want to walk by sight but God has called us to walk by faith and faith requires action” Henry Blackaby

The Bible challenges us to “walk by faith, not by sight.” This task is as unnatural as walking with our eyes closed. God says clearly in His Word, that we have to make the choice every day to walk by faith, not by sight. In order to

The Power Of God

overcome today’s pressures, you will have to walk by faith. I, personally, would not want to be living in this decade that we are living in right now without knowing Jesus and without having a firm grip on the Word of God; the power of the Word of God!

Living by faith is not a movement! It is a lifestyle.

God is looking for an army of believers who are consistently walking in the Word. You may be the only representation of Jesus that some people see. They need to see people who are stable, joyful, and peaceful. Stability, consistency, and discipline draw people to Christ.

People are so busy with their own lives today. They’re going to church, but their mind is on the afternoon football game. They are driving past people who need Jesus every day, but their mind is on stopping at the next Starbucks for a coffee. They might go right past someone who needs help because they are too busy thinking about themselves.

It seems that there just aren’t many people who really hunger for God-like faith, the kind of faith that heals and moves mountains problems in the sea. Think about it. How many people walking the earth today could be compared to the faith giants of a long time ago?

Men like John G. Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, Billy Joe Daugherty, Maria Woodward Etter, Oral Roberts and all those others who could be listed in “Gods Faith Hall of Fame,” if there were such a thing. I love reading about the faith-filled men throughout history. Billy Joe Daugherty was my pastor for 6 years. It was a privilege to sit under his teachings. He was a very, very special man.

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” – General George S. Patton, Jr. I thank God that these men lived and gave us so much insight on how to live by faith and to live victoriously. They were not perfect and each was still a product of his time and generation, but they were fiercely committed to bringing the gospel to the world and fiercely committed to their faith in God.

The hunger for God-like faith was insatiable and it caused them to be men of great influence. They changed the world around them for the better.

Do you know what all those great faith-giants have in common? They’re dead! Yes, they all moved on to Heaven. So, who will be the faith giants of the next generation? Who will grab the flaming torch handed down by our forefathers of faith and run with passion toward the mark? Who will stand up and say, “I am right here and I am ready to go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. I am ready to evangelize and support evangelism! I want to see people healed, saved and set free by the Power of God!”

Who will be the next faith giant? It can be you. Many believers would love to have lived the lives of some of the men and women mentioned above. They admire such loyal commitment to God and they would love to be just like them, seeing miraculous acts of faith and power. Yet, as much as some believers admire others, many seem to go through their Christian lives with only one thing in mind: to have faith.

Faith is like the perfect pair of running shoes. It’s going to get you to the finish line quicker than running barefoot ever would! Faith is the supernatural force that gives you the help and endurance you need to go through life at a strong and steady pace.

It’s up to us; the power of choice has been given to us. Do we live by faith or do we live by our own circumstances. Do we only say “we have faith” or do we use our faith to get the supernatural force in our life to remove burdens and destroy yokes, remove mountains in the lives of others and in our own life?

God Wants Us to Prosper

God Wants Us to Prosper

by Olga Hermans

 

God wants you to prosper; do you believe that?  I am telling you; you better make your choice to believe that with everything that is within you. If you are determined to make better choices this coming year; this should be one of them.

We are called to thrive and not just survive; you and I are called to flourish and not fail. The Bible makes it very clear to us that we are not subject to the times; we are separated unto God from these times, that we are living in right now.

It doesn’t matter what is going on around us economically or that the stock market is going up or down. We are to be unaffected by the times. We are not subjected to the times we are living in; that means that the economic system cannot rule over us. We are not to live under the dominion, the rule, the control or the influence of whatever way the economy and the world system is going at the moment.

You might be asking now; how is that possible? How can we do that? Well, we as Christians, we live in the spirit and everything is subject to that, because we are subject to the Spirit of God. It’s the same with healing. When you find out that healing belongs to you; you actually are saying that you are not subject to sickness. It’s the same with prosperity; we are not subject to recession or depression that is going on. We are blessed and we walk in the blessing.

We are subject to and governed by another economy; the Kingdom of God Economy, we live in a different Kingdom.
Psalm 27:1-5 Verse 5 especially here: “For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock”. We are separated from the curse and separated to the blessing. In the time of troubles; He hides us; He hides us in His pavilion.

Psalm 32:6-7 tells us also that we are not subject to the times; the economy and the direction of the economy. We are subject to the Kingdom of God.

Psalm 31:14-16 Verse 15 says: “My times are in Your hand”; so, our times are in His hands. I want you to see this that “our times are in His hands”. We are in Him, in Him we live, thus we are separated. We are redeemed from the curse of the law; the curse of poverty. We are IN Him; we are NOT in poverty.

It is the will of God for that we thrive and not just survive. Surviving means that we barely get by. That is not you and me; we are thriving, we are flourishing, we are succeeding, we are advancing, we are prospering. Let’s look at the prayer that Jesus prayed that separated us form the evil in the world. John 17:13-14 tells us clearly that we are NOT of the world. We are IN it, but we not OF it. We are separated from the affects of the world.

John 17:15 is very important for us. We are kept from the evil of poverty. Poverty is an evil thing, it is of the curse. We are kept from the evil of lack and from the evil of poverty. We are kept form the evil of shortage and of not enough; that is an evil thing. It is an evil thing not to being able to pay your bills. It is an evil thing when the creditors are calling; that’s evil!

Matt. 6:13, Gal 1:4, 1John 5:18, poverty is a wicked thing! Lack is a wicked thing; it says that wicked one touches him not! 1s made a way of Cor. 10:13 God has made a way of escape for you to escape the curse of the law and to walk in fullness of the blessing of Abraham.

Let’s go back to John 17:16-17 “Sanctify”, that is a great word. It means to be set apart, to be cut away from. You and I are separated by the truth; we are in another Kingdom. There was light in the land of Goshen. When the hail was coming down on the Egyptians; the children of Israel were separated by the wall of redemption. There was a line. And the devil with everything that he had was not able to cross that line. There was a division.

John 17:17 Jesus prayed for you and me to be sanctified, to be separated from the world’s system. We are separated form the world’s system and we are separated from the affects of the world’s economy. We live in a different economy. It is time to get out of debt and to owe nobody anything. You are not subject to the times. When you are in Christ; you are not under the dominion and the subjection to the curse of the law.

You have to go and read this prophesy; for the Christians “everything is going to be ALL-right, but for the world it is getting worse”. So you have to choose which side you are going to be on. It is a serious time that we are in. But, we are not subject to the times; our times are in His hands.

So, if you are reading this and you have never given your heart to the Lord. This is a perfect time to do that. Do not procrastinate or postpone it. Right now you can make that choice; it’s the best choice you will ever make.

Jesus is still waiting for you to make a choice ….. So pray right here: “God in Heaven, I come to You in the name of Your Son, Jesus. I confess that I haven’t lived my life for You. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died on the cross and rose again from the dead so I might have a better life now and eternal life in heaven. Jesus, come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. From this day forward, I’ll live my life for You to the best of my ability. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.”

The Power of Choice is in our hands; think about that! When we engage our will and be determined to make Godly choices in our life; we live in the blessing. Our life is truly choice driven.
Talk to you soon again!
Thanks for your reading,
Olga

Praying in Tongues Eliminates Selfishness in Prayer

The following excerpt is taken from Tongues Beyond the Upper Room by Kenneth E. Hagin:

Praying in Tongues Eliminates Selfishness in Prayer

Praying in Tongues Eliminates Selfishness in Prayer

If Christians took the time to analyze the prayers they pray with their understanding, they’d realize a large majority of those prayers are selfish. Too often their prayers are like the old farmer who always prayed, “God, bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife – us four and no more!”

Christians may not use those exact words, but if they would examine the sum of their prayers, they may see that the old farmer’s prayer represents the extent of their “praying with the understanding.” In other words, most of their prayer time is devoted to praying about matters that concern only themselves and their loved ones.

The Following Prophecy Was Given By Dr. Billye Brim on July 25, 2010

“The time and purpose for all of our lives are very important and in fact, you are alive to meet those appointments, those people, and to pray those prayers. Listen and keep ever aware and alert to the voice of the Spirit and what He would have you say and what He would have you to pray. When you go around your house and you hear a word – repeat it, for it will be from Me.”

“If at the beginning of your day, you will acknowledge Me in all your ways; then I will alert you, for it is critical in this day that I have My Body speak and say what I want it to say. Know you are on call – you are on call! Give Me your all – you are on call! In the daylight hours and in the nighttime too everything is speeding up, and will until you are through to the brightness of the new day.”

“And so, this is not the time to let the enemy keep you sitting in confusion, in darkness, and despair – wondering why you are alive or why even care. But this is the time to know of your import. This is the time to know, for it is short. Yea, give Me your thoughts, your words, and do not shrink for you are on the very brink of the most wondrous days that have ever been.”

“And yea, even before the brightness of the new day, you shall see upon the Body of Christ the anointing come – the anointing of the Glorious One. And on in glory and in power you are going to finish this out, it’s your finest hour!”

“Do not center on the negative. Yea, be aware and alert and know it’s there. Focus on the light of My face and upon sureness of My Glory and My Grace. Who will begin to walk in a new atmosphere? You’ll begin to walk where things are very clear. You’ll hear a voice and you’ll turn around and say, ‘Who said that?’ It is because your hearing is tweaked in this day.”

“Those plans that seemed hard to come by and you’ve known before, now they will be very clear. It is not like it was in days of yore. There have been some key moments, there have been some key happenings, and things have stepped up. And you will see the operation of the dunamis power. Spoke I not unto you and said when Oral Roberts moved to Heaven there came a shift and there will be another. For you shall soon hear of the departure of another brother and know that when he goes, another shift will occur.”

“And it is not you that has being shaken, it is darkness. You receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. And though all around others might see darkness, not you – you’ll see Me. Hah! You’ll get another breath, you’ll get another pick-up – even in your body, My very Queen. So, rejoice and be exceedingly glad for days of rejoicing! Praise God!

Nothing is held back that you need in this hour. Every word that has been spoken concerns every person in this room. We thank you Lord that you have the wherewithal to do it. You have time – it’s measured, but you have it.”

My Times Are In Your Hand…

You Have two Choices

My Times Are In Your Hand

by Olga Hermans

 

There are two choices right in front of you here: … I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live.

Deut.30:19 The Power of Choice is is given to each one of us.

You have two choices!

  1. You can thrive or
  2. You can survive.

To survive means to barely get along and merely exist.
To thrive means to flourish, succeed, advance and prosper no matter what the times are like.

John 17 establishes the fact that we may be in this world, but we certainly are not of this world. We are separated from this world’s failing system. In the prayer of Jesus to the Father, He asked to “sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 The word sanctify means “to separate or cut out away from.” Through the prayer of Jesus, we have been cut out away from the world’s failing economic system. We are not subject to the economy. We thrive and flourish in spite of what is happening around us.

I have been reading in Exodus lately and it came really strong to me that God wanted to make sure that Farao and the Egyptians would know that Israel was His chosen people. That he treated them differently as them. He had set them apart from everything that was going in during all the plagues that came upon Egypt. God told them what to do to be in His protection and he was always faithful to His people. God made a clear distinction between Egypt and Israel, because God kept watch over all the Israelites.

The Israelites didn’t understand everything what was going at that moment when they were in a tight spot between slavery and freedom, they were complaining and murmuring, but Moses told them “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do His work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you are never going to see them again. God will fight the battle for you. And you? You keep your mouths shut!” Ex.14:13-14 Message

How does this apply to us now?
Gal.3:13-14 tells us that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law. We have been redeemed, separated and cut out away from the curse of fear, sickness, lack and debt. Jesus paid in full for you and me to live above whatever is happening in the world’s system. He keeps watch over us.

Because of Him, we prosper. “Take a good look at your debts TODAY for you are never going to see them again”, do you believe that? Because of Him, we are separated from the evil in this world! Jer.17:5-8 says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land.”

Here is the redemptive part: “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green and they never stop producing fruit.”

3 Characteristics of a cursed man:

  • Trust in man
  • Makes flesh his arm (power of trust)
  • His heart departs from God

3 Results if you put your trust in man:

  • He is like the heath in the desert Jer.17:6
  • He does not see when good comes.
  • He will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness

2 Characteristics of a blessed man:

  • He trusts in the Lord Jer. 17:7
  • His hope is in the Lord

6 Results If you put your trust in Jehovah:

  • He is like a tree planted by waters Jer.17:9
  • He spreads his roots by the river
  • He shall not see when heat comes
  • His leaves will be green
  • Not careful in the year of drought
  • He never ceases to bear fruit

The person who “makes flesh his arm and whose heart departed from the Lord” did not produce anything. The person who trusted in the Lord did not “cease from yielding fruit.” When it says his leaf was green that word in Hebrew means, “to enter into a state of prosperity and become extremely successful.” One man failed, the other succeeded.
All that because of the Redemption. We are set apart, we are separated from the world’s system and live in prosperity of God’s Kingdom of heaven right here on earth.

I just want to let you know that you have two choices that are set before you; the choice is up to you. What do you believe? Do you believe that you are going to survive or do you believe that you are going to thrive? God choose you and he paid the price for you to be redeemed; so, that is settled! Now, you have the power of choice before you.

TOMMY HICKS’ END-TIMES VISION

The following is a stunning vision given to American preacher Tommy Hicks (who was a major figure in the powerful 1954 Argentina Revival).

VISION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST AND THE END-TIME MINISTRIES
My message begins July 25, about 2:30 in the morning at Winnipeg, Canada. I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the  revelation  that  God  gave  me came before me. The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the morning of July 25, 1961. I was  so stirred  and  so moved by the revelation that this has changed my complete outlook upon the body of Christ, and upon  the  end-time ministries.

The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever  been given lies straight ahead. It is so hard to help men and women to realize  and  understand the thing that God is trying to give his people in the end times.

I received a letter several weeks ago  from  one  of  our  native evangelists  down  in  Africa,  down in Nairobi. This man and his wife were on their way to Tanganyika. They could neither read nor could  they  write,  but we had been supporting them for over two years. As they entered into the  territory  of  Tanganyika,  they came  across  a  small village. The entire village was evacuating because of a plague that had hit the village. He came across  natives that were weeping, and he asked them what was wrong.

They  told  him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they had been dead for three days. They had  to  leave.  They were  afraid  to go in; they were leaving them in the cottage. He turned and asked them where they were. They pointed  to  the  hut and  he  asked  them  to go with him, but they refused. They were afraid to go.

The native and his wife went to this little cottage  and  entered in  where the man and woman had been dead for three days. He simply stretched forth his hand  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus Christ,  and  spoke the man’s name and the woman’s name and said, “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I  command  life  to  come back  to  your bodies.”  Instantaneously these two heathen people who had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior sat up and immediately began to praise God. The spirit and the power of God came into the life of those people.

To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning  of  these  end-time ministries. God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies, the unheard-of, the no-accounts. He is going  to  take every man and every woman and he is going to give
to them this outpouring of the Spirit of God.

In the book of Acts we read that  “In the last days,”  God  said, “I  will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I wonder if we realized what he meant when God said, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I do not think I fully realized nor  could  I  understand the fullness of it, and then I read from the book of  Joel: “Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord  your God: for he hath given you the former  rain  moderately,  and  he will cause to come down for you the rain, the  former  rain,  and the latter  rain -” (Joel 2:23). It is not only going to  be  the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, but  he  is  going  to give  to  his  people  in these last days a double portion of the power of God!

As the vision appeared to me  after  I  was  asleep,  I  suddenly found  myself  in  a  great  high distance. Where I was, I do not know. But I was looking down upon the earth. Suddenly  the  whole earth  came  into  my  view.  Every  nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the east and the west, the north and  the south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in, and I was almost in fear and trembing  as  I  beheld he great sight before me: and at that moment when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder.

As the lightning flashed over the face  of  the  earth,  my  eyes went  downward and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant, and as I stared and looked  at  it,  I was  almost  bewildered  by  the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the north pole and his head to the  south.  Its arms were stretched from sea to sea. I could not even begin to understand whether this be a mountain or this be  a giant, but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was struggling for life. He wanted to live, but  his body was covered with debris from head to foot, and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it  would  even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away. Hideous creatures would run  away  from  this giant, and when he would become calm, they would come back.

All  of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand towards heaven, and then it lifted its other hand, and when it  did  these  creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night.

Slowly this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands  went  into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and  filth  that  was  upon him,  and  he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his hands, they went even unto the clouds.

Suddenly,  every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known. As I watched this phenomenon it was so  great  I could  not  even  begin to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, and I cried unto the Lord  and  I  said, Oh  Lord,  what  is the meaning of this.” and I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could feel the presence of the  Lord even as I was asleep.
And  from  those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant,  and  slowly,  slowly, this  giant began to melt, began to sink itself in the very earth itself, and as he melted,  his whole form seemed to  have  melted upon  the  face  of  the earth, and this great rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very earth  itself and  as I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people over the face of the earth. As  I  beheld the sight before me, people stood up all  over  the  world!  They were lifting their hands and they were praising the Lord.

At that very moment there came a great  thunder  that  seemed  to roar  from  the  heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white – the  most glorious thing that I have ever seen in my entire life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew it was the  Lord  Jesus  Christ, and  he stretched forth his hand, and as he did, he would stretch it forth to one, and to  another,  and  to  another.  And  as  he stretched  forth  his hand upon the nations and the people of the world – men and women – as he pointed toward  them,  this  liquid light seemed to flow from his hands into them, and a  mighty  anointing of God came upon them, and those people began to go forth in the name of the Lord.

I  do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks and months. And I beheld this Christ as he continued to stretch  forth his hand; but there was a tragedy. There were many people as he stretched forth his hand that refused the  anointing of God and the call of God. I saw men and women that I knew. People that I felt would certainly receive the call of God.  But  as he  stretched forth his hand toward this one and toward that one, they simply bowed their head and began to back away. And each  of those that seemed to bow down and back away, seemed  to  go  into darkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere.

I  was  bewildered  as I watched it, but these people that he had anointed, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world,  in Africa,  England, Russia, China, America, all over the world, the anointing of God was upon these people as they  went  forward  in the  name  of  the  Lord.  I saw these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch diggers, they were washerwomen, they  were rich  men,  they  were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis and sickness and blindness and deafness.  As  the  Lord stretched  forth  to give them this anointing, they became  well, they became healed, and they went forth!

And this is the miracle of it – this is the glorious  miracle  of it  – those people would stretch forth their hands exactly as the Lord did, and it seemed as if there was this same liquid fire  in their  hands. As they stretched forth their hands they said, “According to my word, be thou made whole.”

As these people continued in this  mighty  end-time  ministry,  I did  not  fully realize what it was, and I looked to the Lord and said, “What is the meaning of this?” And he said, “This  is  that which  I  will  do  in the last days. I will restore all that the cankerworm, the palmerworm, the caterpiller – I will restore  all that  they have destroyed. This, my people, in the end times will go forth. As a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of  the earth.”

As  I was at this great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the  face of  the earth. Suddenly there was a man in Africa and in a moment he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps  he  was  in Russia,  or China or America or some other place, and vice versa.
All over the world these people went, and they came through fire, and through pestilence, and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them.

Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns. And  like  Jesus,  they  passed through the multitudes and they could not find them, but they went forth in the name of the Lord, and everywhere they stretched forth their hands, the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened. There was not a long prayer, and  after  I  had reviewed the vision many times in my mind, and I thought about it many times, I realised that I never saw a church, and I never saw
or heard a denomination, but these people were going in the  name of the Lord of Hosts. Hallelujah!

As  they  marched forth in everything they did as the ministry of Christ in the end times, these people  were  ministering  to  the multitudes  over  the  face of the earth. Tens of thousands, even millions seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these  people stood  forth  and  gave the message of the kingdom, of the coming kingdom, in this last hour. It was so glorious, but it  seems  as though there were those that rebelled, and they would become  an-
gry and they tried to  attack  those  workers  that  were  giving the message.

God is going to give the world a demonstration in this last  hour as the world has never known. These men  and  women  are  of  all walks  of life, degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they were going over the face of the earth. When one would  stumble  and  fall, another would come and pick him up. There were no “big I” and “little you,” but every mountain was brought low  and every  valley  was  exalted, and they seemed to have one thing in common – there was a divine love, a divine love  that  seemed  to flow forth from these people as they worked together, and as they lived together. It was the most glorious sight that I  have  ever known.  Jesus  Christ was the theme of their life. They continued and it seemed the days went by as I stood and beheld this  sight.
I  could  only  cry, and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the  face  of  the  whole  earth, bringing forth in this last end time.

As  I  watched from the very heaven itself, there were times when great deluges of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great congregations,  and  that congregation would lift up their hands and seemingly praise God for hours and even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, “I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh,” and that is exactly this thing. And to every man and every  woman that  received this power, and the anointing of God, the miracles of God, there was no ending to it.
We have talked about miracles. We have  talked  about  signs  and wonders, but I could not help but weep as I read again this morning, at 4 o’clock this morning the letter from our  native  workers.  This  is  only the evidence of the beginning for one man, a “do-nothing, an unheard-of,” who would go and stretch  forth  his hand  and  say,  “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to flow into your body.” I dropped to my knees and began  to pray  again,  and  I said, “Lord, I know that this time is coming soon!”

And  then again, as these people were going about the face of the earth, a great persecution seemed to come from every angle.

Suddenly there was another great clap of thunder, that seemed  to resound around the world, and I heard again the voice, the  voice that  seemed to speak, “Now this is my people. This is my beloved bride.” And when the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth  and  I could see the lakes and the mountains. The graves were opened and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages, seemed to be  rising.  And  as they rose from the grave, suddenly all these people came from every direction. From the  east  and  the  west, from the north and the south, and they seemed to be forming again
this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ  seemed  to  be  rising first, I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvellous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of.

But as this body suddenly began to form, and  take  shape  again, it  took  shape  again in the form of this mighty giant, but this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful  gorgeous  white.  Its  garments  were without spot or wrinkle as its body began to form, and the people of all ages seemed to be gathered  into  this body, and slowly, slowly, as it began to form up into the very heavens, suddenly from the heavens above, the  Lord Jesus  came,  and  became  the  head, and I heard another clap of thunder that said, “This is my beloved  bride  for  whom  I  have waited. She will  come forth even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time.”

As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the  far  north,  and  I saw  seemingly  destruction:  men and women in anguish and crying out, and buildings in destruction. Then I heard again, the fourth voice that said, “Now is My wrath being poured out upon the  face of the earth.” From the ends of the whole world, the wrath of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials of God’s wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth. I can remember  it  as  though  it  happened  a moment ago. I shook and trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing  the  cities,  and whole nations going down into destruction.

I  could  hear  the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they went into caves, but the caves in he mountains opened up.

They  leaped  into  water,  but  the  water would not drown them. There was nothing that could destroy them. They were  wanting  to take their lives, but they could not. Then  again  I  turned  my eyes to this glorious sight, this body
arrayed in beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly, slowly,  it began  to  lift  from  the  earth, and as it did, I awoke. What a sight I had beheld! I had seen the end-time ministries – the last hour.  Again on July 27, at 2:30 in the morning, the same revelation, the same vision came again exactly as it did before.

My life has been changed as I realised  that  we  are  living  in that  end  time,  for all over the world God is anointing men and women with this ministry. It will not be doctrine. It will not be a  churchianity.  It  is going to be Jesus Christ. They will give forth the word of the Lord, and are going to say, “I heard it  so many  times  in  the  vision and according to my word it shall be done.”

6 Financial Deceptions; Who Has Them?

Take A Stand to NOT Be Deceived

6 Financial Deceptions; Who Has Them?

by Olga Hermans

 

1.    “My Money Is My Money”
“Approximately two-thirds of Jesus’ parables are about money and financial management.” Let’s not only remind each other that “it’s all God’s money.” We know that money does not originate from God’s hand. BUT!! He has put you in charge of a certain amount of it. In that sense, your money is your money to manage. God expects us to use it well and not to abuse it. Money is for managing first and spending second. The difference between the two is the difference between the financially foolish and the financially confident people.

2.    “Tithing is not for me.”
God himself is willing for you to put him to the test with tithing and He has never failed yet. Your 10% is foremost and exclusively a gift to God, not to an organization, as a voluntary act of worship. The church is simply the vehicle for putting God’s money into circulation. God made up the 10% rule so to speak. The tithe represents the first 10 percent of our income. Prov.3:9-10 That means before taxes (gross, not net) and before we pay any other bill. Give regularly as part of your worship. Your attitude is what counts, not the size of your gift.

3.    “Use Credit Now and Pay For it Later.”
While there are forms of debt that are necessary, such as a house mortgage or school loan, credit that guarantees high interest rate payments is a trap to avoid. S– Set aside your credit cards in a drawer, T-talk to someone to start a repayment plan, O-only use cash, P-practice self-control.

4.    “A Successful Career Is More Important Than Being At Home With my Children.”
Life is all about choices. Some of the choices you make affect your life for years to come.. One of those choices is the decision to have children. Once you have children, you face a whole new series of choices on how to raise them. Society tells us that a woman who forgoes a career to stay at home with her kids isn’t contributing to the world. WRONG!!! I would say; what do you say?

5.    “I’ll Have Plenty Of Time To Save Money Later.”
We can make elaborate plans for our lives, but really we have no idea what the future holds. Only God knows what will happen in the future. David wrote in Psalm 31:15 “My times are in Your hands.” The way we handle money revels a lot about the state of our emotions and spiritual growth. The extremes: hoarding money on the one end and spending every cent of it on the other, show our fears and our focus on self, rather than on God. God wants us to be responsible with the resources He gives us, including money.

6.    “What He Earns Is His; What I Earn Is Mine.”
Jesus said that marriage is all about people coming together and becoming one. Matth. 19:4-6 To put it in business terms, a marriage is a partnership when it comes to finances. This partnership has a set of shared expectations that lead to mutual benefits. Finances are a volatile issue and a leading cause of divorce. Unsettled conflicts over money can cost you what is truly valuable; your marriage. Take preventative measures to protect your marriage; don’t allow money to divide you.

Every day you hear (and subsequently believe) deceptions/myths that the world tell you. Satan’s tried-and-true weapon against you is lies. I exposed the tip of some of the deceptive thoughts that people have. Please study the Bible to find the truth about a certain thought that you have, especially when you are not sure about it. Explore what the Bible says about it so that the next time you think that certain deceptive thought, you will be able to name the lie and replace it with the truth!

Our life is all about choices; the power of choice has been given to you and me. Use it to your own advantage; you will meet your choices down the road whether you like them or not.

The Choice Is Yours!

More Essentials for Spiritual Growth and Development Pt 3

11. Know that you are Righteous.
There is a world of difference in a man’s self-righteousness and the gift of righteousness from God.  Self-righteousness boasts in itself, but the gift of righteousness can boast only in the finished work of Christ.  Righteousness simply defined is RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD.  It gives you the ability to be free of guilt, condemnation, fear, and inferiority.  These four problems rob many Christians of God’s blessings; it is easy to see why an understanding of righteousness could transform your life.  Imagine: no guilt, no fear, no condemnation, and no inferiority.  What a blessed life that would be!
The greatest enemy to faith is a lack of understanding of God’s Word. A lack of understanding regarding righteousness and its privileges holds more Christians in bondage than any other thing.

12. Renewing the mind
The Bible tells us that one of the highest, ultimate goals that God has in store for each one of us is our transformation in Him – and this transformation is accomplished by the renewing of our mind. Somehow people buy into the concept that they are what they are and there is nothing they can do about it. The 1# key of the renewing of the mind is: you can change to make your life what you want it to be. The renewing of the mind is a journey. Whatever your present place in life, you have the potential to move forward and experience more of God’s will and plan. The Bible tells us that one of the highest, ultimate goals that God has in store for each one of us is our transformation in Him – and this transformation is accomplished by the renewing of our mind. Rom.12:2

13. You can live in Victory
Jesus has made a way for you to rise above trials, difficulties and problems. You can experience faith, hope and joy through the power of God’s Word. Get ready for miracles. Mankind was created to have dominion on the earth. Knowing what Jesus has done for you and in you will change your life. He destroyed the power of the devil 1John 3:8 You have been raised from death to life, from defeat to victory. You are what God says you are. You can do what God says you can do. God has plans for you that are beyond your wildest dreams. He has planned for you to live in Victory.
14. Speak in Tongues
Unless you allow Jesus to baptize you in the Holy Ghost, you won’t ever receive power from on High to do the works of God. Paul said you pray in tongues to edify yourself: “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself” (1 Cor. 14:4). To “edify” means to build yourself up. Speaking in tongues builds you up to the point that you can believe God instead of circumstances.
Circumstances don’t have anything to do with God. He will remove circumstances if you’ll just believe Him. The way you believe is the way you talk. What you believe comes out of your innermost being. The words you speak come from your heart—your inner man. The words you speak show the exact shape that your inner man is in.

15. Understand That You Are Anointed
How do you know that you are anointed? You receive the anointing when you become born again. “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).  Once a person receives Jesus as Lord and becomes born again, that person is anointed. The word Christ means “Anointing and His Anointed,” so in salvation you become anointed with Christ, because Jesus Christ comes into your life. The anointing is the burden removing and yoke destroying power of God.
All believers can experience a deeper anointing by being baptized with the Holy Spirit.

If you don’t know what it means to be baptized in the Holy Spirit; you can click here for more information.

Ok, today we came to 15 Essentials for Spiritual Growth and Development; you can read the first 5 essentials here and Part 2 here. If there is one that you yourself like to add, write it in a comment and we might come to 100 essentials for our spiritual growth and development. The power of choice is to act upon these truths and to be doers of the word is always at hand. Our life is truly choice driven.

Choose To Speak The Word Of God

Speak To The Mountain "Be Thou Removed"

 

Choose To Speak The Word Of God

by Olga Hermans

 

There is a difference between speaking to your mountain and speaking about your mountain. Speaking about your mountain will magnify the problem in your mind. The problem will begin to look bigger and bigger in your sight. But speaking to your mountain keeps things in proper perspective.

IF you don’t speak to your mountain, your mountain will speak to you. … It is your responsibility to speak to the mountain in your life. .

What is a mountain in a believer’s life? The mountain is the problem in your life. A mountain is anything that is a barrier to you completing God’s Will. A mountain is anything that is slowing down or impeding your progress in the Kingdom of God.

Many believers spend time praying to God about their mountain. They describe the mountain in full detail to God. They inform God of the exact dimensions of the mountain. They cry and moan to God about what a hindrance or impossibility the mountain is in their life.

Some people even use the “mountain” as an excuse for nonperformance in their Christian life. Some people make up doctrines and traditions about God, to justify why the mountain is still in their life.

Many believers will pray to God for Him to speak to their mountain. God will never do what he has commanded you to do. You pray to God to receive what Jesus has made available to you [Mark 11:24]. It is your responsibility to speak to the mountain in your life.

Praying and fasting will not move a mountain. Prayer and fasting deals with unbelief or lack of confidence in God’s Word

When you put God’s Word in your mouth, magnifying the Answer above all else, speaking to the mountain will cause it to move (Mark 11:23–24)!

Here is another very cool and precise translation:
Truly, anyone who speaks to that mountain yonder saying, “Dump yourself in the Lake,” and does not become separated from the statement he makes – that person will actualize his statement. When anyone’s expression in prayer is congruent with his inner being, his desire will be actualized!
(Mark 11:23 Ben Campbell-Johnson Translation)

So, let’s practice here right now; “Speak To The Mountain Be Thou Removed“.

What to say to a mountain of sickness:
“Sickness, in the Name of Jesus Christ, be thou removed from my life. Satan, I refuse to be your dumping ground for spirits of infirmity and disease. I resist your sickness, pain, and suffering, for it is written, ‘The Lord healeth all thy diseases.’ You mountain of sickness, be thou removed from my life for I am healed by the bleeding stripes of Jesus Christ.”

What to say to a mountain of trouble:
“You trouble, be thou removed from my life in the Name of the Lord, for the Name of Jesus is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it and is safe. I rebuke marriage trouble, teenage rebellion, job difficulties and command them to be removed from my life! Hallelujah, the Blood of Jesus overcomes all trouble. I draw a blood-line around my life, my family, my home!”

What to say to a mountain of financial need:
“You mountain of financial need, be thou removed from my life for God wishes above all things that I prosper and be in health, even as my soul prospers. You foul spirit of poverty, I command you to be removed from my life for my God supplies all my need. You mountain of unpaid bills, be thou removed from my life for I am a tither, a cheerful giver and God is opening for me the windows of heaven. He is pouring out overflowing blessings and He is rebuking the devourer for my sake.”

Source of Confessions: Don Gossett

When you put God’s Word in your mouth, magnifying the Answer above all else, speaking to the mountain will cause it to move (Mark 11:23–24)!

Make a Choice this week :
1. Take a day and keep track of how many times you speak about the problem you’re facing.
2. Go to God’s Word—the Bible—and find out what it says about the problem.
3. Begin to replace your words about the situation with God’s Word on the matter.

Each time you begin to speak about the problem, remind yourself to speak to it, telling it to change and conform to what the Word says!

The Power of Choice! Make a Choice and let your life be Choice Driven!
