Be Strong!

Ephesians 6:10

We need strength to survive in this world, which means we have to be strong!
God wants us to be strong in Him.
This means we should be confident in God, trusting always in Him irrespective of what things look like around us. 1 Chronicles 16:11
To be strong is to be like Abraham.
Abraham was a man who hoped against hope when there was no physical reason to hope.
Romans 4:18
That is strength! This is an example of being strong.

Being consistent in prayer, praying in season and out of is a form of strength. Ephesians 6:18
You need to be strong to prevail against the enemy and what the world will throw at you.
The major type of strength you will require is spiritual strength. Ephesians 3:16
The Apostle Paul talks about strength in our inner man.
Strength in the inner man is strength that is spiritual.
It is God given spiritual strength.
It is spiritual strength that's been built up as a result of spiritual growth.

Many things are similar about the physical and spiritual dimensions.
God wants us strong spiritually. As you grow spiritually you develop spiritual strength.
Your physical strength is important and it matters to God and should matter to you. But it's your spiritual strength that will benefit you more. 1 Timothy 4:8
Godliness brings spiritual strength.
Holiness brings spiritual strength.
There is a grace for spiritual strength. 2 Corinthians 12:9

You need spiritual strength to take on the enemy. Mark 3:27
God wants you to be a 'spiritual strong man'.
You should be a 'spiritual strong man' who is depopulating the Kingdom of darkness and taking back what the enemy has stolen.
This doesn't happen without a fight.

Satan is a skilled fighter who has many more experiences in warfare above human beings.
You will need spiritual strength to face him, stand toe to toe with him and defeat him.
You can defeat the enemy.
The greater one lives within you. 1 John 4:4
You need spiritual strength to withstand the storms of life.
Endurance is an aspect of spiritual strength. 2 Timothy 2:3
We win by endurance.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
