Session 1:Text Jeremiah 23:29 #prayerFocus : Growing in the Word.

A few years ago, I received a bad report from the doctor. My mind kept playing the report back to me. My imagination went on overdrive and kept playing horrible videos about the condition. I became sicker.

Fear gripped my soul.
What happened? I agreed with the doctor’s report and the forces of evil took advantage to torment me. And the condition worsened

In the midst of the fear and pains, GOD’s Word came to my Spirit by the way of Don Moen’s song “I am the LORD that healeth thee”.

That day, something snapped in me and faith welled up in me to war against that condition with GOD’s Word.

Whatever you allow continues, but whatever you disallow must stop.

For as long as I accepted that sickness, it stayed and became worse. But when I disagreed with it, our relationship terminated and it had to go away.

In like manner, stop agreeing with lack, limitation, poverty, depression, fear etc.

Instead boldly declare that GOD’s grace abounds to you and you have more than enough: affirm that you are the healed, the graced, the favored, the righteous, etc. And it shall become the principle by which your life functions.

You belong to the Kingdom of GOD. And “… the Kingdom of God is … of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17).

It is GOD’s design that you live a life of goodness, peace and joy. Anything contrary speaks of satanic interference.

And you war against Satan’s evil machinations by affirming GOD’s Words.

Never be accepting of negative happenings without conducting the Word-test. Line it up with GOD’s Word. GOD’s written Word is HIS mind revealed to us. Do not be taken in by the devil’s devices to pervert GOD’s Word. He would try to convince you that your challenges are GOD ordained. Speak GOD’s Word to that challenge and it will conform to GOD’s perfect will.

Affirmation in spiritual warfare:
“Does not my word burn like fire?” says the LORD. “Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock to pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:29; NLT)
Some ignorant folks think affirmation is synonymous to denial. Denial is a defense mechanism whereas affirmation is the Christian’s weapon for offense.
When GOD’s Word is declared, it goes forth like a launched missile to perform that for which it is sent. And it never returns without performing Divine counsel.
When the world fell into darkness and was in confusion because of satan’s rebellion; GOD called light out of darkness and set the world back on course. And that same GOD says to you now:
“I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.” (Isaiah 51:16).
And what Word has GOD put in your mouth?
“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming (Romans 10:8).
The Word of GOD declared by faith releases tremendous power into the atmosphere and paralyzes the forces of evil.
When Satan the devil tempted JESUS CHRIST, it was a war of words. CHRIST overcame the devil by rightly dividing the Worth of Truth. And the devil left HIM.
GOD’s word is given to you to enable you live victoriously in this life.
The forces of evil cannot stand the power in GOD’s Word For as scripture says: “… thou hast made thy name to be magnificent and raised up thy spoken word above all things.” (Psalm 138:2 ; Jubilee Bible, 2000). Hallelujah! GOD’s name and Word is magnified and exalted above all things. That GOD is our GOD!
The Church of GOD is a prevailing force and not a group of cowards who hide behind defense mechanisms. Affirmation is a weapon for spiritual warfare.
With our Affirmations, we put the “sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of GOD’’ (Ephesians 6:17) to work. There is nowhere GOD’s Word can’t penetrate and no situation or circumstances it cannot transform.
Make bold your confessions for “God didn’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment. (2 Timothy 1:7; GOD’S WORD® Translation)
JESUS CHRIST spoke Words to the raging storm and it calmed down. Those Words are in your mouth. Declare them by faith and victimize the forces of darkness.

Would like to read some of your affirmations. GOD bless you and your family from #theWatchman Hephzibah Christly
