is the Power to Overcome! ~ Page 2

The believer has the authority to speak health and prosperity into being in Jesus' name We
are the earth representatives of Jesus Christ.
He said all power in Heaven and Earth was given to Him and that
He in turn, gave it to us.
This power is not as a toy, or a title, or anything to set aside
until it’s convenient to use. This
is our promise of eternal life, of being heirs to the kingdom, and the
hope of the resurrection! He said whatever we bound on earth would be bound in heaven, whatever we loosed would be loosed in heaven, and that if we drank anything poisonous, it would not hurt us, and if we were bitten by a snake, it would not harm us. He didn’t tell us these things to tempt us to try to drink poison or be bitten! He told us to reassure us that no matter if even THESE things happened while we’re on the way doing His will, that He would keep us safe from harm.
I
do the works of Jesus because I believe on Him.
John 14:12 All
authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me by Jesus Christ.
Matt 28:18 When
I agree with another in prayer about anything that we ask, it shall be
done for us by our Father in Heaven. Matt 18:19 NAS I
am firm in faith. I am
rooted, established, strong immovable and determined.
I am determined to triumph over the devil.
I Peter 5:9 I
can do all things through the Anointed One and His Anointing which
strengthens me. Phil 4:13 I
reverently fear the Lord. I
respect and honor Him therefore I do not lack!
Psalm 34.9 God
has bestowed His grace upon me. By
His grace, I am what I am. I
Cor. 15:10 All
God's promises to me are yes and Amen.
2 Cor 1:20 The
blessing of Abraham comes on me through Jesus Christ.
I receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.
I am an heir to the promise.
Gal. 3:14,29 Jesus
gave me the authority to use His name.
And that which I bind on earth is bound in Heaven.
And that which I loose on earth is loosed in heaven.
Therefore in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I bind the
principalities, the powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world.
I bind and cast down spiritual wickedness in high places and
render them harmless and ineffective against me in the name of Jesus.
Matt 16:19, John 16:23-24, Eph 6:12 I
am complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power.
For I am His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works
which God has before ordained that I should walk therein.
Col. 2:10, Eph 2:10 The Lord has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant, and Abraham's blessings are mine. Psalms 35:27; Galatians 3:14
Our business as believers is to show others by our words and the testimony of our lives, which can only be done by victorious living
For too long Christianity has been a joke to the world at large. For centuries Christians have had no real power because the knowledge of our power was lost in the dark ages when traditions of men were substituted for the Word of God. During this time, people didn’t know how to read.
Sermons were spoken in Latin and the people attended church
depending on a pope or church leader to guide them to salvation.
The priest was separated from the
population and seemed mysterious and powerful, speaking in a foreign language and
hiding the "friendship" of Christ. This
is not what Jesus established on earth.
The new testament church was humble and powerful, rich because
they were poor, sharing their worldly goods amongst each other.
Even the SHADOW of Peter had the power to heal anyone it fell
across as he walked by. God didn't leave His people powerless or hopeless. He gave ALL that He had (Jesus) to bring us to the knowledge and position of our authority and His grace. It is up to US to take the authority over the enemy and this physical world, and show that we are free to live, laugh and love. We have all of the universe at our fingertips, ONCE we learn to harness the power of our spoken Word, combined with faith in our Lord Jesus.
Jesus
came and destroyed the power of death and the works of the devil in my
life. He has delivered me
from the bondage of fear. Heb.
2:14-15 I
present my body to God as a living sacrifice.
I will live a holy life, acceptable unto Him, which is my
reasonable service. Romans
12:1 I
am filled with the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding. Col. 1:9 AMP I
refuse to allow envy and strife into my heart.
I refuse to give the devil a license to bring confusion and every
evil work into my life. James 3:16 I
am obedient to the commandment of Jesus.
I love others as He has loved me.
John 13:34 I
do not allow the worries of this world or the deceitfulness of riches or
the lusts of other things to enter into my heart and choke the word.
I am determined to bear much fruit.
Mark 4:19 I have the Holy Ghost in me. Therefore, I have power! Acts 1:8 I let no corrupt communication proceed out of my mouth, but that which is good to edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearer. I grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby I'm sealed unto the day of redemption. Eph. 4:29
Who wants to follow the God of a bunch of weak and broken down powerless believers? The
world is full of false religions and false gods.
People suffer and die needlessly, and the groaning of the burden
of the world is grievous to bear!
It is time to refresh and renew this earth with power and
righteousness.
It is time to teach the world a reason to sing!
His name is Jesus and He holds the keys to death and hell.
He received all power and authority and He gave his believers
this power.
Shall we attend church and give only lip service to this power, or shall we take hold of the teachings of our beloved Lord and stand up unafraid and go forth in the world to teach the dying and lost, the children, the hungry, the hopeless, … that there is HOPE in the name of Jesus!! Jesus
is the High Priest of my profession, therefore, I hold fast to it.
Heb 4:14 I
flow in the fruit of the spirit. I allow love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, meekness and temperance to grow and develop in my life.
Gal 5:22-23 I
am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Eph 6:10 The
Lord blesses me for I am righteous.
He surrounds me with favor as with a shield.
Psalm 5:12 In
the presence of God there are glory and honor and strength and gladness.
I Chronicles 16:27 The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has anointed me! Luke
4:18 God
is on my side. God is in me
now, who can be against me? He
has given unto me all things that pertain unto life and godliness.
Therefore I am a partaker of His divine nature. II Cor. 6:16;
John 10:10; II Peter 1:3-4; Romans 8:31 The
joy of the Lord is my strength. The
Lord is the strength of my life. Nehemiah
8:10; Psalms 27:1 The
peace of God which passes all understanding keeps my heart and my mind
through Christ Jesus. And
things which are good, and pure, and perfect, and lovely, and of good
report, I think on these things. Phil.
4:7-8 No
weapon formed against me shall prosper, for my righteousness is of the
Lord. But whatever I do
will prosper for I'm like a tree that's planted by the rivers of water.
Isaiah 54:17; Psalms 1:3 I
am delivered from the evils of this present world for it is the will of
God. Galatians 1:4 I am a doer of the Word of God and am blessed in my deeds. I am happy in those things which I do because I am a doer of the Word of God. James 1:22 The Power of Death and Life Is In The Tongue How
simple God made it!
He said the Kingdom was so simple that even a
baby could understand it, but that it would seem like foolishness to the
world. There
was a book popular a few years ago called “Everything I needed to
know, I learned in kindergarten.”
There is so much truth in that title, because every baby born knows
instinctively how to approach God and create with their imagination.
We emotionally beat the instinct out of them by the time
they’ve had a few years of public school. Very
simply put, the essence of God’s power is this – whatever you speak
is what you create.
Whatever you think (speak) in your mind is what you create.
Whatever you fear becomes your prison walls. Whatever
image you think upon and hold tight to in your imagination, becomes your
truth. Let us prefer to leave the burdens, hate, fears and the stumbling blocks here in this world, to burn up with fire. Let us take with us only the fruits of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These will be jewels upon our crown, and are a burden light and easy.
Death and life are in the power of my tongue. I determine to speak only words of life. Proverbs 18:21 My Heavenly Father provides me with the measure of faith and I am determined to build my faith by meditating on His Word. Romans 12:3 As I speak in faith, I do not doubt in my heart. I believe those things which I say shall come to pass. I have what I say. Mark 11:23 What things soever I desire, when I pray, I believe that I receive and I shall have them! Mark 11:24
The Kingdom of heaven is taken by force by believers who prize it above all else and who will fight to achieve and defend it.
The
Sunday morning Christians (people who are only going through the motions
of church, but have no real abiding love for Jesus), should take care!
They may not obtain the crown they believe they have earned. If
you want to win the “race” of the crown of the high calling in
Christ Jesus, you have to desire it above all else, be willing to give
up lands and family members and titles and possessions for His sake. You must value your eternal life so highly that you will fight tooth and nail to the very finish if need be, to overcome the obstacles this life will bring into your path. Take heart! Jesus said the battle is won already; we have only to claim His name and follow close behind Him. PRAISE, PRAISE and THANK Him. REJOICE ALWAYS!! Deadly
habits of unforgiveness, impatience, irritation and selfishness, loose
me and let me go. I choose
to walk free by the power of God's Word. John 11:43-44, Rom 8:2-6 I am
constant in prayer. Romans
12:12 Jesus has given me His peace. I do not let my heart be troubled, neither am I afraid. John 14:27 Satan has no real power – only what we unknowingly give him by not taking the authority in Jesus' name. Jesus took back the power that was handed to Satan by Adam and Eve in the garden. In the beginning, God gave to man dominion over this planet and
all that is in it.
Including our lives and bodies.
I believe that when Adam and Eve chose to believe Satan over our Lord, they
were in effect giving
their faith and powers over to the enemy, and this gave him the
authority over
us to torment us throughout history. But
when Jesus paid the price, innocent as a lamb, punished for that sin and
all the others since, He rose victorious from the grave with the keys to
death and hell.
He said all authority on earth and in heaven was given to Him,
and HE in turn restored it to us. Unfortunately, most Christians don’t know they can walk higher than the fallen angels and literally “write” their own life script for their time here on earth. To take back our power, we must USE the name of Jesus and actively take dominion back over the areas where Jesus’ sacrifice covers. This is our health, our wealth, our safety and our peace, as well as eternal life. Sicknesses must go!!
Poverty must go!!
These things are contrary to God’s will!
Speak the words of power and authority over the unclean spirits
and the infirmities and they WILL obey.
They have no choice.
See “7
Steps to Healing” for exact directions! If we really believe that to die and be with Jesus is gain, then Satan has nothing left to torment us with. We can leave our fears behind and live the rest of our lives victorious with power, bearing MUCH fruit.
I
refuse to be deceived or misled by having evil associations or
companions. I choose to
fellowship with those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I Cor 15:33 AMP Jesus
shed His blood for the remission of my sins and now they no longer
exist. Matt 26:28 The
Lord is my helper, and I do not fear what man shall do to me.
The Lord never leaves me, nor forsakes me.
Heb 13:5-6 I am
not barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of the Lord for I give
diligence to let the fruit of the Spirit abound in my life.
2Peter 1:5-8 Because
of the blood of Jesus, God forgives my sins and cleanses me from all
unrighteousness. I John 1:9 So How Do We Live in Victory?
Make
sure you are saved, (ask Jesus for it), confess Him before people (tell
someone that you are a believer and that He is your savior), be baptized
in Jesus’ name, and ask the Holy Spirit to baptize you in His power! Then
study scripture, find a prayer partner to search the scriptures with,
and pray with (there is more power in two praying than one), and begin
to walk in faith and the Spirit. Read
your Bible, worship together, tithe 10% of all that you have or get, and
take on the great commission.
Jesus said GO forth into all the earth and teach nations about
Him. Heal
the sick, cast out demons and baptize in His name. More
important than anything, though, is to develop and grow a real
relationship with the savior, so that when you say “Lord, Lord,” at
the end of your life, He won’t say, “depart from me, I never knew
you”. God loves, deserves and demands our praise and thanks. We must not neglect this great service. Sing praises to Him, make music unto Him, even if you don’t really know how to play something, if you are alone with God, make the music anyway and God will bless it to be lovely to His ears. The Holy Spirit prays for us when we don’t know what to say, so just keep trying. Invite
the Holy Spirit into the room and into your worship service first.
Ask politely and humbly.
Use Psalms or other Bible verses to make up songs or poems to
speak in praise of our Almighty God. Turn on
a CD or tape of some worship music and sing along.
You can also write your own songs of worship. When
you read scripture, write down what you think it means, or any special
“messages” you get in your mind about the scripture.
It may be God speaking to you, to help you understand what
you’re reading. Go to www.biblegateway.com
and check the scripture verse in various types of Bibles.
I prefer the Amplified Bible, because it has explanations in
parenthesis in the text to help me understand the intent of the writer,
according to the meaning of the original Greek. Always remain in a state of prayer, thanksgiving and blessing everyone you come into contact with. Being thankful for all things, wishing well on all people, and asking God’s blessings on them. Everything you eat or drink, bless it first in Jesus’ name. When you go swimming, or stand near a lake, bless the water in
Jesus’ name.
When a school bus or some type of public transportation goes by,
bless it in Jesus’ name.
When a new apartment building or home is being built, as you pass
by, bless it and pray for the new owners, in Jesus’ name. Doing
this will keep angels around you, busy carrying your prayers and the
blessings you’ve ordered. When
someone you know sins or does wrong, forgive them in the name of Jesus.
Pray for them to see their errors, and if it’s an ongoing sin, gently
persuade them to repent. Show scripture, take into consideration the spirit of the person and the circumstances of the error. If it is a simple mistake from the tender heart of a believer, there is no need to criticize or point out flaws. Speak only after you have prayed about it and sought God's guidance. Many people are hurt and turned away from God by overzealous "believers". If you
have prayed for this person, then back off and don’t judge them or
criticize them.
God has it in His hands now. Your
main job is NOT to point out everyone’s flaws, but to correct YOURSELF
so that you can set a shining example for the world.
Remember the parable of the speck in your brother’s eye,
compared to the log in your own?
(“First remove the log from your own eye and then you can see
clearly to help your brother remove the speck from his own.”) Be all things to all people and let the Holy Spirit direct you in what you do. Don’t think more highly of yourself than you should. Jesus humbled Himself to wash the feet of his apostles and to constantly serve mankind. Jesus FORGAVE all, and we must NOT do any less!! Keep in mind that our journey here will be short, so always choose the higher good, the better task, the things of your life that will be pleasing to God and be a good example to others around you. FORGIVE! Enjoy your life!!
