WAR

"Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident."       Psalm 27.3

The number of enemies you have and their power for destruction does not matter because those who live by faith and trust in the Lord have His full protection.

REMISSION

"And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood and without shedding of blood there is no remission."      Hebrews 9.22

During the times of the Old Testament, almost everything was purified through the sacrifice of blood. However, in the New Testament, the sacrifice of animals was canceled. But the sacrifice of faith was not and it requires action. 
Without sacrifice there is no remission, no salvation and no achievements.
Whoever wants to be forgiven, must forgive (sacrifice). Whoever wants to receive, must give (sacrifice). Whoever wants to reap, must sow (sacrifice).
Therefore, it is impossible to take possession of God's promises without an act of sacrificial faith. 

THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."        Proverbs 1:7

   Do you want to avoid making mistakes. Do you want peace? Do you want direction in all aspects of your life? Do you want to be happy? Then put this into practice:
   Don't walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. Instead, take pleasure in reading the Word of God and meditate about it day and night. 
   Follow these steps and you will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not whither and whatever he does is successful.

ANOINTING

"Thus Esau despised his birthright."       Genesis 25:34

Adam rejected God's anointing, Esau rejected Isaac's anointing, Judas Iscariot rejected Jesus' anointing and the same spirit of rebelliousness has continued to be passed on from generation to generation. 
Those who turn their backs on the anointing of the Divine are subject to Satan's power. You can't have God as your Lord and the devil as your lord at the same time. You are either a child of God or a child of the devil. You are either a temple of the Holy Spirit or a vessel of the devil.
This is why most believers are troubled, unsuccessful and possessed by demons. They have accepted Jesus as their Savior but have rejected Him as their Lord.

STEW OF LENTILS IN EXCHANGE FOR THE ANOINTING

"And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils, then he ate and drank, arose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright."       Genesis 25:34

The birthright signified the anointing and authority of God. Adam despised his anointing and was thrown out of paradise. Esau exchanged it for a bowl of lentil soup, quenched his hunger and unfortunately endured the same fate. 
Jesus, God's Firstborn Son, has given us this anointing, but many have exchanged it for an immediate solution to their love life. They prefer to exchange the anointing of eternal salvation for momentary sexual pleasure. 

PATIENCE

"I waited patiently for the Lord, and He inclined to me and heard my cry."     Psalm 40.1

Trust is a virtue very few people possess. This is why very few people are also saved. Those who trust in God's promises aren't shaken by the storms. Instead, they wait patiently for their blessings because they trust that He who promised them is faithful and does not fail.

TEETH AND NAILS

"But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience."        Luke 8:15

Only 1 out of every 4 people that hears the word, bears fruit.
Out of every 4 who hear the Word of God, only 1 keeps it and gives good fruit.
What is this person's secret of success?
They listen and practice, listen and practice, listen and practice...
In other words, they fight, persevere and defend their faith with teeth and nails, even if they have to go against the world all by themselves.
