"PURSUE, OVERTAKE AND RECOVER ALL"

I am literally talking about “Taking back what the devil has stolen from you”! In order to do this, you must STOP saying “NO” to God. I just heard YOU say, “well Preacher, I never SAY NO to God!” Let’s talk about it.

Joshua 1:8 says: This Book of the law (The Word of God) shall not depart from your mouth, but YOU shall meditate in it day and night, that YOU may observe to DO according to all that is written in it. For THEN [only then], YOU will make your way Prosperous and THEN you will have Good Success.
Listen to me, saying “No” to God is hearing what he tells you to do, BUT not doing what he says.

Meditating in His Word day and night is like a cow “chewing on the cud”. The cow digests what he eats and brings it back up again to chew on it. This goes on 24 hours a day! Meditate means imitating the cow- chewing what has been slightly chewed and swallowed, then bringing it up again to chew on. Meditate means to study the word.  Just taking notes each Sunday in church won’t cause you to prosper. You must study, ponder, think on, daydream, deliberate, have in mind, reflect on. Speak the Word. Pray the Word. Faith comes by hearing the Word. Faith pleases God!

Let’s Pray: Father, in the name of Jesus, forgive me for saying “No” to you. I commit to hearing, reading, studying and obeying your Word. THEN, I will make my way prosperous and I shall have good success, according to your Word in Joshua 1:8 .  I truly repent for blaming others for the lack of prosperity in my life. I am now committed to making my way prosperous. I will pursue, overtake and recover all! In the name of Jesus! Amen

Seven Deadly D’s

G 12 Meeting - April 27, 2011      

The Spirit of Division

The enemy uses the spirit of offense to bring division. *The enemy has custom designed attacks against us. Those who do not recognize the spirit of division allows the enemy to separate them from other families, friends and so forth.  The enemy will also make sure that we are separated from those whom God has sent to help us. We have to work hard to fight off the spirit of division.

Luke 22:31

Joshua 1:6 -7

Ephesians 6:10-

James 1:8

Matthew 12:25

2.     
 The Devil is a Denouncer

The devil uses accusation to God’s people.

Job 1:6-8

Revelation 12:10

3.     
The Devil is a Destroyer

1 Corinthians 10:1-10 (with an emphasis on verse 10, underlining the word destroy)

…nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. One of the biggest issues we are facing today is lust. The enemy destroys dreams, hopes, finances, marriages etc. 

John 10:10
1Corinthians 10:10 (KJV).

 

4.     Doubt

Doubt is the biggest enemy against the activation of faith. If one receives doubt, faith will be cancelled and if one receives faith, then doubt will be cancelled. One must speak life not death.*Doubt steals God’s blessings from one’s life. The solution is to stand on God’s Word.

Matthew 14:31

Matthew 21:21

Matthew 28:17

Matthew 11:23

Romans 14:23

5.     Discouragement

The spirit of discouragement comes even when we are in the middle of accomplishing goals.  When one is discouraged, everything seems to go down. 

Joshua 1:6 -7 and also verse 9

Numbers 36:6-7

*Do not speak against the very person who is going to help you.

The person who can help you can also go away due to the spirit of discouragement.

A true shepherd forgives his people and prays for them.

The enemy can use your family to go against you.

*The enemy can also use people to tell you that you are not qualified or capable of doing something, and thus bringing discouragement.

6.     Denial

The devil wars against us so we can backslide.

Peter would never picture himself denying the Lord, but the devil fought him hard.

Be bold against the devil and denounce him. If the enemy can get you to deny Christ, then you will compromise.

Matthew 26:34

2 Timothy 2:12

7.     Deception

The devil uses the spirit of deception to deceive or destroy our lives. Some people do not even know that they have the spirit of deception, and therefore, they are deceived.

It is the spirit of deception that a man is in love with another man or molesting children. Deceived people can claim that God said ordered them to do something while He (God) never said.

The devil uses the spirit of deception in last days.

2 Corinthians 11:14

 1 John 4:11

Matthew 24:4-5

Ephesians 4:14

Luke 21:8

Matthew 24:4; 5:11

1 John 4:11
