No Turning Back…

Don’t Turn Back

 

Wait patiently on the Lord for the completion of what has been promised. Do not let attacks of the enemy or discouragement cause you to turn back or quit.  Remain in the place of expectation.
 
Psalm 18:37 — I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
 
Habakkuk 2:3 — For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Defeated…

  • March 5, 2010 12:14 pm

The Enemy is Defeated

 

God is with you to bring your enemies to defeat. God is able to go before you and be your rear guard, too. Let the Lord lift you above all the works of the enemy. Release your expectation and your faith in Him.

 
1 John 5:4 — For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.  
 
1 Corinthians 15:57 — But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
Isaiah 52:12 — For you shall not go out with haste, Nor go by flight; For the LORD will go before you, And the God of Israel [will] [be] your rear guard.  
 
Isaiah 58:8b — The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.

Clear it off!

  • March 2, 2010 9:51 am

Clear the Foundation

 

This is the hour when we must clear off the foundation of our faith and remove any trace of doubt. Let all the rubble of religious thinking be moved away. Refuse to stand in the place of waivering in unbelief.  Move to the sure foundation.  Stand on solid ground. Allow the Lord to re-build things from this new position of trust and assurance in Him.
 
Isaiah 28:6 – Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
 
Luke 6:48 — He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
 
1 Cor 3:11 — For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Think on These Things…

Think on These Things

 

 

If the events around you cause you to feel overwhelmed, remember that the days and seasons and events are unfolding as prophesied.  Stay in the center of God’s peace.  He is always with you.

 
Philippians 4:6-8 — Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy–think on these things.

Is Frustration Knocking?

  • February 25, 2010 10:57 am

The Patient in Spirit

 

 

Today, when frustration knocks on your door, let patience open it.

Ecclesiates 7:8 — Better [is] the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than the proud in spirit.

2 Timothy 2:24 — And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient.

 
James 5:8 – Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Turn Around…

Turn Around

 

If you feel like you are wandering off in your own direction, turn around and follow the Good Shepherd.  Let Him direct your path to peace.
 
Hosea 3:5 — The Israelites shall return and seek the Lord their God; they shall come in awe to the Lord and to his goodness in the latter days.
 
1 Peter 2:25 — You were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
 
1 Samuel 15:25 — Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.

Fasting: Do You Have Parasites?

  • January 29, 2010 9:51 am

Do You Have Parasites?
 

The following is an excerpt from chapter 1 of my book, A Walk in the Wilderness:Wilderness 
  
Parasites:
During the first prolonged 21-day fast that I did, I kept a journal of parasites that were eliminated from my body.  I was surprised (shocked actually) to see what was living off of my body!  Statistically, 85% of North Americans unknowingly have at least one form of digestive parasite.
 
In America, the number one cause of persons being infected with Ecoli bacteria is from drinking tap water.  It is also probable that most forms of parasites enter our bodies through tap water.  Fasting is a method to rid the body of parasites.

 
As you seek the Lord and desire to serve Him more, are you considering fasting?  Read on…
 
 
How Scriptural is Fasting?

 

Dr. GreenwoodThere are nearly 70 references to fasting in the Bible.  Each week, I’ll share a few verses with you.  Searching the bible will help you discover more about fasting for yourself. 

 

Last week we looked at Mark 8:3.   

 

Acts 27:9 — Paul making reference to the annual day of atonement
 

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them.

Future Vision

  • January 18, 2010 10:42 am

A Vision of Your Future

 

Every time Abraham looked up at the stars, he had a picture of the many generations of offspring that God had promised him. Even when Joseph was in prision, he had a dream of others bowing down to his leadership and authority.  Pictures move us.  What is the vision God has given you for your future?  Let that image fuel your momentum forward. 
 
Proverbs 29:18 — Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he.
 
Habakkuk 2:2 — And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

 
John 16:13 – Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Keep Moving

  • January 17, 2010 10:12 pm

Keep Moving

 

Deliberately release all things that slow your momentum — spirit, soul and body. Don’t give up.  Don’t revert back to where you were.  No matter what it looks like, breakthrough is just ahead. The devil will lie to you and tell you to quit, but keep moving. 
 
Isaiah 49:10 — They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
 
2 Corinthians 12:9 — My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
