Your Enemy Is Your Doubs.

Your Enemy Is Your Doubts.

What if the ancient stories of life were real stories? What if there is a parable universe, a life after death, another plain of existence? What if Jesus were real? What if Spirit is real? Don’t you owe it to yourself to take a closer look, to give it some serious consideration?

What if you don’t believe in eternity and its ‘poof’ and you’re gone – lights out, curtains closed? What if eternity is real and ‘poof’ you’re not gone, instead you’ve crossed over? Where are you now?

You’ve heard of heaven and hell. Perhaps you might at least consider the magnitude of this. Perhaps you might consider delving a little deeper. You see, you can have your own thoughts on the issue, but without proper study, they’re just your thoughts and subject to flaw, for none of us know everything in this world.

If you study and find out the truth of the biblical writing’s you’re sure to want to move forward in a walk with God.

When you reach out to someone in prayer, you’re correcting with what’s gone wrong in their life and taking back what was stolen. Reach out with compassion, just as Christ had compassion.

How do you overcome? How does prayer work? It helps to have faith, for without faith God cannot act. There is no formula to prayer. If there was, every doctor in the world would be using it and trying to make money from it.

Prayer is like a flowing river, with new waters traveling along at all times. There are a few things which might help keep you focussed in prayer. Repeating Psalm 91. Playing uplifting songs. I like “Raise a halleluiah’” by Bethel Music. Something similar to this or something which speaks of success in the Lord.

Speak aloud to the devil. Tell him; “I am a righteous child of God. By His stripes I am healed. It’s illegal for you to be here. GET OUT in the Mighty Name of Jesus and by the power of His blood.” (The devil abhors the use of the word blood because of our Blood Covenant, the covenant Jesus died to give us).

Praise Jesus for His healing power and watch as your health takes a turn for the better. Praise Him for your relationships and watch as it takes a turn for the better. Do the same for your finances. Keep singing praise and worship songs. And keep praying. Don’t stop until you see the desired result.

Expect supernatural, extraordinary and unusual provision. We don’t get what we deserve in life, we get what we expect, so expect big things.

Talk in tongues – you can look this up online, if you don’t know what it is or how to do it. Give praise and thanksgiving, often. Worship often. Jesus is the door, enter the door and ask Jesus what He would like to show you.

You are the one who has to fan the flames. Paul told Timothy to fan the flame as he was waxing cold. King David had to stir up his own faith, after a harrowing ordeal. We too need to stir up our faith particularly if it’s waning thin.

Pray sniper, shotgun, nuclear prayers – prayers with pin-point accuracy. There’s no need for waffle. Get straight to the point and pray with confidence.

Decree and declare out loud what you want to see change/happen. Prophesy to the wind and say to the wind: Thus, sayeth the Lord God: come from the four winds, oh breath and breath upon the slain that they may life – they lived and stood upon their feet.

Find a problem and solve it. If you can’t find anything for yourself, I’m sure you can find one for someone else. There are always issues you can pray over. These issues and problems become your testimonies, as you grow in Christ and see His answer to your prayers.

What happens when what you see is contrary to what you believe? You have to keep believing for that’s what faith is; believing in what you can’t yet see. We have to have a firm faith, a faith that cannot be shaken and one where no weapon formed against us will prosper.

In reality those weapons feel as if they come mighty close. We quote certain scriptures and yet live our lives in the uncertainty of what could happen. It’s in the not knowing that we must remain humble and draw close to Him who is our help.

In any new venture there’s going to be missteps and side steps. Not everything is going to go in a straight line, but there will be steps forward and on occasion, steps backward. In the mean-time we need to rely and trust in God. Even though we might mess up, God is still working behind the scenes. Even though there are times in life where we will have uncertainty, God is still working behind the scenes.

Certainty is an illusion. Even though certainty is what you’re aiming for, life doesn’t always go in the direction you wish it to go. In aiming for certainty, we can end up in fear and anxiety. Even through this, God is working behind the scenes.

When we give in to fear, we also give in to trying new things and life becomes mediocre and mundane. The dark realities of the moment can be incredibly frightening, once we let loose our imagination. 99% of the time what we fear doesn’t eventuate. Whenever we’re in crisis, dilemma or destruction, fear takes hold as the imagination takes us into the deep depths.

When you’re in a problematic season of difficulty, it feels like it’s taking forever. We need to remember the dilemma is temporary, but God is permanent. All God’s promises are true for those who believe. To everything there is a season and you cannot outlast God. Your problem will eventually go away, but God is always present.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens. This tells us there is a time for everything, but every crisis is balanced out by a change in season. Every opposite has an equal. After crisis comes blessing. Crisis has a time, an ending.

God created time on the fourth day, as it says in Genesis. Let the light separate day from night. A crisis has an expiration date and it expires the moment God speaks. The moment God speaks into the situation, it’s over. The light has dawned. Creation started in crisis and chaos. God gives us time so that we’re not constantly looking into our crisis.

Everything is conditional and based on faith and you have to fan the flames. You have to contend, battle, war. It doesn’t just happen because God says. There will be times when you have to fight for it.

It’s not just confession, it’s the marriage of the seed to the soil. Seed has everything in it to produce a crop, but it needs soil. If God was in control, everything you say would come true. That’s not to say God’s not in control, but we don’t contend for what is rightfully ours. We give up too soon.

In contending to win, you might consider memorising Ephesians 1:16-23. Recite it as often as you can. Another verse you can stand on is Jeremiah 15:21.

You can’t be an overcomer if life doesn’t bring opportunities for you to overcome. It’s during the battles of life that we grow the most. Speak healing words, words of life over your situation, not death.
