Spirit of God

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1.7

The Spirit of God does not work with cowards. That's why He never uses them. He used all kinds of people, including a prostitute named Rahab, a prostitute's son named Jephte, shepherds, fishermen and polititians -- but never coward people. And why? Because to conquer the Kingdom of God, you need to be a valiant person and have courage and determination to go all the way. The kind of attitude that goes against the spirit of a loser.

Doubting?

"...for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." James 1.6

The waves of the sea are always coming and going. They're inconsistent. Do you know who promotes doubts? The devil. Do you know who accepts them? Those who are like the waves of the sea.


Those who resist doubts also resist the devil and hell.

My Spirit

"For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring..." Isaiah 44:3

Besides coming through to those who are thirsty to know Him, the Lord Jesus also promises to fill them with His Spirit and extend this Blessing to everyone in the family.

Perseverance or Stubborness

"His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord."

Mathew 25.21

Stubborn people insist on doing their own will but those who persevere keep on doing the will of their Lord. Stubborn people serve themselves but those who persevere obey their Lord. The question then is, who have you served?

I'll be with you

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you." Isaiah 43: 2

Only when you have a clean conscience can you have the assurance of God's promises for your life. It's amazing to know we're never alone, that our Lord and Savior will forever keep and protect us.

Oh!

“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries." Psalm 81:13,14

God's will is that His people are free from their enemies, that He may have fed them also with the finest of wheat and with honey from the rock satisfy you (v. 16) But in order to listen and obey Him, you need to sacrifice. Sacrifice your flesh.

Mighty and Valiant

"The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies." Isaiah 42:13

If my Father and Lord is a Man of war, then this inheritance has also been passed unto me. Thus the reason for His pouring of His Spirit on me, so that I can be an overcomer.
