DELIVERANCE 301: THE  I CAN DO ALL THINGS MENTALITY :

Greetings. The major tools you need for this session is your Bible, a teachable spirit, and determination to become better and not bitter. 

As a Christian, you are not a victim of circumstances in this world.  It doesn’t matter what is happening around you. You must keep moving forward in victory because you have been made victorious by your faith in Christ Jesus. (See 1 John 5:4)

You must also develop the ‘ I CAN DO ALL THINGS MENTAL- ATTITUDE which is the mentality of those who know the God they serve.

If you have not read an earlier article on ‘how you can overcome the victim mentality’,  the links will be available in the comments section. 

To further strengthen your mental attitude, you must read Judges chapters 6-8 

In those chapters, is the story of Gideon who was referred to by God as ‘ a mighty man of Valor’,  at a time when Gideon was cowardly hiding from the Midianites – Judges 6:11-12

In physical reality, Gideon, a coward, was tormented by fear of tomorrow and in hiding! 

He was full of air, very low in self esteem, was at a bad place in life, was angry at God, and blamed Him for not helping enough. 

Can you relate?

Despite the reality of Gideon’s challenges, God saw him in a different light, He saw the fight in him and what can be accomplished if rightly channeled.

“The Lord turned to him and said, Go in this your might, and you shall save Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?Judges 6:14. AMPC

And again,  Gideon put up a strong argument of why he was the wrong guy for the job.  

And yet again,  God overruled but reassured him;

“The Lord said to him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midianites as one man” Judges 6:16, AMPC

Read Judges chapters 6-8 to see how it all worked out. 

Before you proceed further let this be saved in your memory  that God can call  into existence things that don’t exist, and  is also a life-changer! (Read Genesis 1, 25:1, Romans 4:17)

ACTION:

Like Gideon, you need to really evaluate your circumstances in order to understand the odds against you. 

Secondly, you need to have personal conviction that God is who HE says HE is, and can do what His Word says He will do!

God does not show proofs but gives evidence.

Hence “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1, KJV.

There must be substance to what you believe.

If, for example, I tell you that I can cut an iron bar in two with my hand, you will laugh at me scornfully. Because (a) you have not seen me do so, and (b) nor heard from other sources that I have . 

But if you have seen me do it- cut the iron bar with my bare hand ✋️, and then are present when I’m telling others how I can cut off a tree with my bare hand, 

What will you do if they don’t believe me?

You will give an eyewitness account of how you actually saw me cut the bar of iron.

Your testimony will help them to believe my claims. 

 Evidence to help you: 

John the Baptist was having a hard time in prison and could not understand why Jesus Christ could not break him out of prison,  or take over the government and set him free.

So he sent his disciples to go get confirmation whether Jesus Christ was actually the expected savior/deliverer or they should be on the lookout for another.

Read Jesus Christ responses to the fact-finding team:

“Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.” Luke 7:22.

That you are born again is evidence #1 that God exists and is able to make the vilest sinners a Saint today.

Remember where you were at before you came this far. 

 Who brought you this far?

It was not your wisdom,  contacts, abilities etc. 

You came this far because God has a purpose for your life. 

Gideon was so powerless to stand against the invading armies of evil. But there was a fire 🔥 burning within him.

Just a spark from your lighter can burn down a whole neighborhood.

Where you are at right now is a good place to start from. 

You can’t quit. 

You have to believe in God and believe in yourself and God will use you to accomplish great things in your world. 

Now, place your right hand on the left side of your chest and make this-

 Declarations:

I …..( mention your name) have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me

[I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]. Philippians 4:13 AMPC

The focus is on what God can accomplish through you,  and not what you can do.

Remember:

God is Omnipotent (all-powerful) Omniscient (All-knowing) and Omnipresent (All-present)

The Good News is that HE has empowered you to do all things through your faith in Christ Jesus.

I pray that you will look beyond the present limitations of your circumstances and see the supernatural abilities of God at work in and through you, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️ 

I summarize this section with the Pauline prayers from 

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:18‭-‬23‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬:

[18] I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

 [19] and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 

[20] which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 

[21] far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 

[22] And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 

[23] which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

DELIVERANCE  201: PRAYER OF RENUNCIATION.

Greetings. Please refer to Deliverance 101 in order to understand the process.

And before you proceed in this Deliverance Prayer, you need A Bible  so that you can check the references for yourself, and get to know God better.

Every new device come with a manual for operating the system from the manufacturer. 

The Bible is the Manufacturer’s Manual that will help you to enjoy life in all its fullness.

Definitions:

According to the Cambridge online Dictionary,  Renunciation  is the “formal announcement that someone no longer owns, supports,  believes in, or has a connection with something”

This Prayer of Renunciation will give you the opportunity to formally renounce all pacts, covenants, agreements, etc., that  you or your ancestors may have made with the kingdom of darkness. 

Additionally, this prayer will also effectively confront some of the major root causes of the problems that are tormenting you and causing problems in your life. 

Furthermore, by this prayer, you will also Affirm your faith in what Jesus Christ accomplished for Humanity and personalize it.

‭‭

Bible Base:

And as the Bible says:

“…as we have received mercy, we faint not; but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 2 Corinthians:4;1-2, KJV

Now that you are born again, it is your spirit that is reborn,  but you have to work out issues from the standpoint of victory.

Because,  by your new status in Christ, you are a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), you have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness (Colossians 1:13-20), made righteous, (Romans 3:22-26) , given the ability  to live as the righteous in this depraved world (Romans 6:14-23, and given authority over all the forces of evils, with the assurance that nothing can harm you (Luke 10:19).

 Prayer of Renunciation:

I….(mention your name) declare that I am born again  by the grace of God, whose goodness have brought me to repentance.

I affirm that being born again by the indestructible and incorruptible Word of God, I have been recreated for good works which the Father has ordained that I should do.

Therefore,  hereby RENOUNCE satan, and all the unfruitful works of darkness, including all the gifts from satan’s unholy spirit, 

Which includes the ability to communicate with spirit guides or operate the third eye; read stars and craft horoscopes, as well as channeling; the reading of palms, cards and tea leaves.

I also renounce the ability to hold séances;  and all other related occult-involvement which are the result of, or which originates from the dedications, covenants, pacts or agreements made by my ancestors or myself  with the devil.

I also renounce all relationships with spiritualists, religious cults, false religious sects, secret societies,  freemasonry, Jehovah Witnesses, mormonism, roman catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism as well as all affiliates of Eastern  and African traditional religions. 

I renounce all sinful habits and sever my links with familial sinfulness due to ingrained learned habits.

I…..( mention your name) renounce all covenants and announce that I am in covenant with the Almighty God, by the shed blood of Jesus Christ which supersedes  and nullifies all other covenants by me or on my behalf.

I renounce all curses and evils that are hidden or trending in my biological lineage and announce that I am a child of God and have been redeemed from all curses of the law, for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me. …. ( mention your name) free from the law of sin and death (Read Romans 8:2)

I acknowledge that though I sinned against God by my involvement with the unfruitful works of darkness; in the days of ignorance, God has overlooked and by His grace has brought me to repentance (Read Acts 17:30-31)

Therefore,  in consonance with  1 John  1:9  I admit my sins, and believe that God has forgiven all my sins, and has cleansed me from all unrighteousness.

I announce  that I…..( mention your name) have been

delivered from the kingdom of darkness and now reside in the Kingdom of light as God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus. 

I proclaim that there is no void  in me for the Holy Spirit of God now resides in me and enables me to produce  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in my life.

 I affirm that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are manifesting through me, in wisdom , knowledge,  understanding,  and empowering me to speak, pray and sing in tongues, as well as to rightfully divide the Word of Truth.

In this world,  I have been made more than a conqueror,  I am victorious, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Warfare Prayer for you (Deliverance):

I am thankful that the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to you.

I stand with you against the forces of evil that are assigned to torment, oppress, intimidate, depress, obsess, control, or manipulate you.

I join you in renouncing all contracts, pacts, covenants,  or agreements you or your ancestors ever made with satan and the forces of darkness, in any guise or disguise. 

In unity of faith, I identify with you and your biological lineage, and repent of all personal and ancestral sins of idolatry, sexual immorality, perversions,  murders, wickedness, occultism,  satanism , and everything else that God has declared to be sin. 

We are thankful for the grace of forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness that is available in Jesus Christ.

With the authority invested upon me as a minister in the service of God, I command all the evil spirits assigned to you or attacking you to stop ✋️,  disconnect from you and  from everything that pertains and relates to you, and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ. 

I proclaim that you have been made free from the law of sin and death and are now functioning in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

Therefore,  all curses are causeless and can no longer work against you, for Christ has redeemed you.

All satanic bans or embargoes, as well as ancestral yokes are nullified for you are now a child of God and function as a citizen of heaven.

For there is therefore now no condemnation to you for God’s Spirit dwell in you, and God is working in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

I command to be silent now,  all voices of accusations who are speaking against you from any realms of existence, and declare that the Blood of Jesus Christ is speaking better things on your behalf.

I speak peace to your soul, healings to your mind and body. 

I stand with you in the unity of the Spirit and in the bond of peace and declare that this day, the reproaches of your life are rolled away,  in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️ our Lord and Savior.

#2 How You Can Overcome The Victim Mentality:

Continuation: Read part 1 to catch-up on this discussion. 

5.  You are full of God: 

The Bible says, “And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace John 1:16.

If you have received the fullness of God with blessings upon blessings, you are not a victim.

6. You are supernaturally empowered  to overcome spiritual forces of evils: See Luke 10:19

“‭‭ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19 KJV

7. You have the power of Attorney to use the name Jesus Christ. See ‭‭Mark 16:17;

*“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues…Mark 16:17

*‭‭ “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Philippians 2:10 KJV

*Until now you have asked nothing in My name;  ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full. John 16:24 NASB 1995

People of God,  you need to no longer have the mentality of a victim nor hide behind the excuses of heredity,  society, spiritual attacks, etc.

Instead, confront your issues with faith in God. 

Hold fast to God’s Word and counter everything  that is happening in your life that is contrary to the Word of God. 

Refuse to play the victim card. Analyze your circumstances and dig deep into the root causes of your problems. 

Then engage in intense spiritual warfare, to make the situation align to what God’s Word says about that situation.  

How?

For example if the test reports says you have cancer or are mentally ill, that is their findings. 

But you do not live your life by that report. Instead, you use the information from the report to enforce God’s Word that says, “by my Stripes you were healed.” 

You fight the illness with everything you got. Rearrange your life, become more prayerful, change your diet and lifestyle and enforce God’s righteous standards. And of course, castaway the evil spirits influencing the condition. 

8. In everything you do,  invite God to help you, for He alone  works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure . See Philippians 2:13

9. Remember also that you are a carrier of His presence- He lives in you and you have the fruit of the Spirit which is your responsibility to grow.

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] meekness, temperance: Galatians 5: 22-23 

In conclusion, never ever accept those engineered lies that are actually the programming that keeps you in a box. 

Break out of that box. 

Think outside the box.

Believe what the Bibles says about you. 

You are a victor and not a victim:

Subscribe to a daily Bible Reading Plan to enable you know firsthand who you are, God’s plan and purpose for creating you.

When you know who you are and in Whom you have believed, you will stand out as a victor and will never cower as a victim.

Let us Pray

Dear Father, 

Thank you for your abundance and boundless mercy that continually helps us.

We are no longer puppets to be dangled on a string by every wind of doctrines. 

We hold fast to who You say we are and hereby refuse to be dehumanized any further.

We arise into our heritage as Victors over the 🌎 world and not victims in the world.

We are heirs of God and Joint heirs with Christ.  The world is ours and we rule over situations and circumstances, and refuse to be victimized by anything or anyone. 

We separate ourselves from the ancestral yokes, bondages, curses,  sicknesses and all that are in the world. We proclaim our liberty in Christ who has made us free .

We declare our Divine heritage and affirm that we have no part in the works of darkness which are beneath us, for we are from above and above all. 

Speak these blessings over yourself:

I speak to my mind, be Renewed:

I speak to my body,  be healed:

I speak to my career and business, you must thrive:

I speak to my relationships, be healed.

I speak to my finances, receive the multiplier  effect:

I speak to my economy, dominate the world’s economy system,  for I shall lend to nations;

I speak to my marriage , model the love between Christ and the Church.

I speak to my bloodline/descendants, you are the seeding of the righteous,  you are excellent and prosperous  in all you do:

I speak to my soul , stop being anxious for anything, keep trusting in God and He will grant you the desires of your heart ❤️ 

I speak to my neighborhood to be calm, peaceful and grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. 

I speak to my ‘nations’ be exalted in righteousness.

Thank You Father for the abundance of your grace,  favor and mercy that are with me, preceding me, and working for me, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

#1 How You Can Overcome the Victim Mentality 

‭‭

Greetings dear people of God. 

It’s so sad that many people are still stuck mentally in their childhood. They refuse to take responsibility for how their life is going, and instead, they blame everyone else. 

The major reason for this negative default behavior is because they have been indoctrinated to believe that they are victims of heredity, society, demons, or other outside influences.

For as long as you keep holding on to the lies of traditional, cultural, denominational,  or societal postulates, you will remain a victim of everything,  such as your past, present and future circumstances. 

And which will effectively put you under the control of people, situations, circumstances, drugs, alcohol, food, pornography,  etc. 

Which also means that you have lost control of your humanity,  and have become the victim of happenstance!

Although heredity and society are major factors in your personality development, that remains true till you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. 

From there, the scale tilts in your favor!

This is because as Bible states,

 “ Everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].” 1 John 5:4, Amp.

 The reason your faith in Jesus Christ gives you the advantage over heredity, demonic, or societal influences are as follows:

  1. Your heredity changed: Read 1 John 1:12, and 1 Peter 1:23 below-

*‭But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, John.1:12, NASB1995

*You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God. 1 Peter 1:23 AMPC

  1. As a new creation, you have a new beginning: 2 Cor. 5:17-

*‭‭”Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! 5 Corinthians 5:17 AMPC

  1. You are now functioning in a higher realm of life: 

*‭‭”He Who comes from above (heaven) is [far] above all [others]; he who comes from the earth belongs to the earth, and talks the language of earth [his words are from an earthly standpoint]. He Who comes from heaven is [far] above all others [far superior to all others in prominence and in excellence].” John 3:31 AMPC .

  1. You have been made free from the law of deterioration which activated curses of hardship, pain, sicknesses, shame,  etc: See Romans 8:2

*For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2 KJV.

Part 2 Continues tomorrow. Which will include the deliverance prayer.

Rest  Weaponized:

Greetings people of God. 

It was a great week. But by Friday night,  all I wanted to do was just lay on the couch 🛋 and enjoy a long hot 🔥 cup of my special lemon and honey brew.

I was tired 😫.  But there was so much still to do- daily Bible Reading,  writing ✍️ , blogging, sharing to my social media accounts, and administer to my various pages and groups.

 In addition, there are emails and messages to read and respond to.

 And at the same time,  be good company also for my partner…..

Such an unending list of “to dos”.

I am so thankful to be alive,  because dead people do not have busy schedules!

Although I was really tired, I had to renew my strength in order to complete the remaining work. 

So far,  can you relate?

Have you ever been so ‘dog-tired’ you just want to crash on the sofa or bed?

Well, I work by myself to that place almost all weekends.

But how do I keep going and not suffer a total breakdown?

The secret is in the Bible,  which is God’s Manual for Humanity. 

“…They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31.

To wait upon the LORD  can be likened to doing as the ‘waiter’ does who serves you at your favorite restaurant. He/she takes your orders in order to fulfill your wishes.

In like manner, to wait on God involves service, trust, and hope. 

No matter how tired you are, when you serve God by being quiet in His presence, listening to either Christian worship music, Audio Bible Reading,  or softly praying in tongues, you will literally experience supernatural power flowing through you.

I encourage you to try it out, these work faster and better than popping pills, drinking caffeine, or energy boosters. 

When God is your hope, it means you trust in His abilities,  faithfulness, goodness, justices etc. And all your burdens will roll away for ‘no one prevails by strength’ (See 1 Samuel 2:9)

Hence Jesus Christ said in Matthew 11:28-30:

[28]…”Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.

Indeed people of God,  when you let God teach you, you will not only find rest for your souls, but you  will be supernaturally empowered to do extraordinary things. 

If God created  the  eagle to be able to rise to great heights without a jet engine behind it, because its body has been designed to maximize the power of the air, thus enabling it to soar on unseen currents with effortless ease, how much more agile do you think the Born Again is?

The Born Again child of God  is a recreated spirit being who renews strength, at the place of meditation with God, and not with meds or the help of pharmaceuticals.

If in the past,  you resorted to pharmaceuticals in order to increase your energy levels, keep sane, control depression or tackle mounting problems,  you have been short-circuiting your power flow- you have an abnormal connection with God who is your Source and Resources. 

Stop and think 🤔 

You are more than a conqueror, you have been made victorious by your faith in Christ Jesus.

Rest is a weapon of Warfare that you can only activate for use at the place of Rest.

Set your mind on God not on the problems or heavy work schedule!

Finally, ponder this scripture verse:

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭30:15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

[15] This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.

Let Us Pray:

Mighty God,  thank you for the entrance of Your Word that has illuminated  and brought rest to us.

 We acknowledge how we have not trusted you with all our hearts, and have sought to achieve excellence by our hard work alone. Whereas, it is useless to work so hard continuously and anxiously for necessities, when You our God does provide for Your Beloved even while they are still asleep (See Psalm 127:2).

We receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness,  as well as restorations to Your righteous standards. 

We receive more enabling grace to be able to cast our anxieties and cares upon You, as well as everything else that does not add value to us.

We affirm that we rest in You. We trust in You and hereby proclaim that we are indestructible, incorruptible, and  by Your Abundant and Boundless mercies,  we achieve good success and nothing can deter us from being light and salt in this world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

Problems Pass Away!

When you are in a storm,  remember that the rough weather is just for a short time, it has not come to stay. It will definitely pass away!

Therefore,  stay focused on God and build up your relationship with Him.

He remains God long after the storm passes away!

Recently, the winter storm came calling, and the usual happened- snow, freezing temperatures, avalanches in some areas, interstate crashes, and related illnesses. 

Even though the snow stuck around for some days in our community, it has melted away! 

No matter how fiercely you are attacked by anything, you will still survive but you need that God-hold to get your life back together so that you can move on.

Just before winter,  the flu season 🤧 struck.  It was very predictable,  yet many became victims. 

Even though we got caught in the crossfire,  we were determined to not allow  the condition to set a standard for how to  confront it.

 Rather, we chose to apply God’s principles for Divine health and Divine healings in confronting it.

The more the symptoms persisted,  the more we held our grounds and fought back. 

We were determined to enter winter as “the healed!”

Thank God for our healings. 

 Although my husband’s condition was unrelenting, which necessitated a visit to the doctor,   the tests proved it was just the usual flu virus. But  this one just wanted to hang on to us.

And it was all over the news that there was a flu virus that seemed to like human company. 

Many found comfort in that news but I stood against it.

My point is this: 

Because it’s common does not give it the right to plague our household. Though we are in the world,  we are not of this world! 

Thankfully,  my husband joined the fight,  and it ended!

It just had to go away as it should!

Always remember that what you allow will stay on and torment you.  But what you disallow will always go away!

If you give the devil  a foothold, he will hold you strongly!

You must always hold fast to your beliefs, and confess your faith! That breaks the satanic hold always, and don’t forget that you are the righteousness of God and should live right!

Akway make declarations! Say the outcome you expect, not what you are experiencing, your feelings, or symptoms! They are lying vanities.

Those who observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy (Jonah 2:8)

Never be satisfied with the status quo. The only Good News is in your Bible- all others are bad news! 

The secular media is our reconnaissance team.  They provide the Spiritual Warrior intelligence  info for effective destruction of enemy targets. 

Secular media information is destructive if you use it to run your life- it will definitely ruin you.

 The Bible is the operational manual for your life, when you live by it,  your life will be very successful.

You are God’s change agent, let your life count for God. Be light and salt in the world. Add value to the lives.

Here is a Word from God to keep you focused. 

And remember that by Faith in Christ Jesus, as scriptures point out, you are God’s Prince/princess, His Israel, the seed of Abraham .

“…listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. 

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. 

When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Isaiah 43 1-2 NLT

Hallelujah.  Indeed, the Abundant and Boundless Mercy of God will show up always for you,  in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

General Spiritual Warfare Prayer 

Greetings people of God. Today, we are going to pray generally as led by the Holy Spirit of God.

For as scripture says in Romans

‭‭ ‭8:28‬, “We know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. Romans 8:28, Amp

Let Us Pray:

ABBA Father, we are thankful that despite the inclement weather conditions,  Your abundant and boundless mercy continues to watch out for us.

Thank you for honoring Your Word so much so that no divination, sorcery, spells, jinxes, charms, evil soul ties, pacts, covenants, seals, or enchantments could function against us (See Numbers 23:23).

 We are grateful that all the evil spirits assigned to monitor,  interfere, vex, humiliate, depress, frustrate, intimidate,  manipulate,  control, or torment us have been rendered impotent and disconnected from everything that pertains and relate to us.

From today,  we affirm the removal, destruction, disintegration, or annihilation of all the bars of iron, gates of brass and other limitations, barriers, bans, embargoes or restrictions  over our healings, marital stability, excellent parenting, faith, financial breakthrough, economic prosperity, wholeness,  welfare, career opportunities, and excellence in life and ministry.

We are grateful that in accordance with Your Word that  states that the path of the Just is like the light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter  until it reaches its full strength and glory (Proverbs 4:18), we proclaim that all our endeavors in life and ministry, are full of glory, honor, and good success.

We declare that we shall continue to walk the pathways of excellence in all facets of life and our ministry Callings.

We put away from us deceitfulness, lying, double standards, and other unfruitful works of darkness and refuse to have any fellowship with them.

We command the severance of associations or relationships, as well as the shut-down of activities that give evil spirits access to our lives. 

We proclaim that in this new season of Abundant And Boundless mercy, we shall no longer experience unpaid bills, unemployment, infirmity, lack, frustrating circumstances, psychological or physical abuses, ill-health or mental health issues,  and all other satanic projections, manipulations and attacks.

 Enough is enough.

We proclaim that the lines have fallen for us in pleasant places and we have a good heritage.

We are victorious, creative, innovative and insightful. 

We have clarity of vision, revelation knowledge, and are supernaturally endowed to be financial missionaries in the Body of Christ, and shall be wealthier than nations.

We shall continue functioning as the righteousness of God and not debtors to the flesh, for we are born of God and thus not subject to the economic restraints of the world .

Our new beginning has started, and everything is turning around for our good.

 The abundance of the seas come to us, and the accrued riches of the Gentiles are released to us.

‭‭Lessons From Winter:

Greetings dear people of God.

Change,  though constant, is never easy.

Leaving the warmth of the tropics for a place with cooler temperatures, is life changing.

I’m so thankful that the change gave me the opportunity to be more observant of my environment, and to appreciate God more.

As scripture says, “He who has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him consider and perceive and comprehend by hearing.” Matthew 11:15 AMPC

As my husband showed me the sights and took me on tours, the landscape was so beautiful with greenery everywhere!

The trees were so tall and luxurious. I could not help but plant a garden to transform my back and front yards. 

Then the leaves on trees started changing to red, golden, brown,  etc. Such beautiful colors and so inspiring!

Then suddenly, the weather reports said that there was going to be frost! 

Then I remembered that I was told to protect some of my plants from frost!  I sure did.

My first trip after the first frost,  provoked deep meditations! It was as if overnight,  the leaves were burnt off some of the trees!

As I looked at the trees and shrubs, I learned some lasting things. 

The bigger the trees, the worst  off they were after the first frost! They lost their leaves and looked burnt out!

Whereas, there were some frail looking trees who had luxurious leaves and still stood strong, even after the second frost attack. 

The strongest were the evergreens 🌲. They stood strong, and weathered the worst of the frost, snow, sleet, rains, etc. The inclement weather did not affect them so visibly as the others.  There were even shrubs who still survived and had beautiful leaves, through it all! 

Armed with these personal observations,  I began to consider why some Christians easily fall apart at the first signs of trouble.

Even though they may appear old in the faith and speak Christianese,  their roots may not be deeply rooted and grounded in the Word of God. 

Which leaves them bereft when troubles strike.

Do you know that unresolved root issues in life are the bane of the Christian?

When you deal with issues on the surface, without confronting the root causes of the problems,  you leave doors open for evil spirits to plague you continuously, in a never ending circle!

Therefore, If you really desire to weather the storms of life,  and stand strong like the evergreens 🌲,  you must learn how not to solve your problems with medication or behavior modifications alone! 

You must engage in Spiritual warfare and Spiritual Therapy!

Casting out evil spirits only solves a part of the problem.

For effective therapy, you must dig out the corrupt root systems in your life, and replace them with the everliving, incorruptible and indestructible Word of God. Which will effectively change your belief system and your fruits will be good.

Simply,  you must  live as light and salt in this world. Which means, you must live according to the Book- the Bible! 

Spiritual Warfare plus lifestyle changes will empower you to withstand adversities or prosperity!

As the Bible rightly states, “A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions  Matthew 7:17-20.

Even though the leaves fell off the trees, they will come on again. It’s a vicious circle! 😫 

Just like how  problems keep making circles in the life of some people, literally  stopping them from making progressions in life. 

Ask yourself, for how long do you plan on having the vicious circles of life torment you ?

I remember how someone said to me,”it’s flu season, allergies are part of life here,  go, get a flu shot to protect yourself ”.

And I’m like,  naaah! I’m not part of that equation. I am not of this world,  and the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Divine health is my normal and not sicknesses, under any guise or disguise!

However, the allergies got to me! And some old ailment tried to resurrect!

But I fought them! 

That’s what spiritual warfare is all about- enforcing the victory of the Cross- by confronting forces of darkness and making lifestyle changes.

I dug into the root causes, confronted the forces of darkness who were taking advantage of the seasons to do wicked things, I built up my immunity, ate right, observed health laws, and I overcame it and drew the battle line!

 Enough is Enough!

I choose not to give the devil a foothold and I am victorious and remain so!. 

Many of us Christians are so accepting of the normal- just comfortable with  the usual  and the natural!

Noway! You are peculiar, now that you are born again! You are a supernatural and an extraordinary Being, recreated in Christ Jesus to display the excellent greatness of God in this ordinary, natural world!

Affirmations:

The seasons and everything in Creation works for my good 👍.  That is my belief and I’m holding to it!. No matter what is going on around me, I am confident that He who began a good work in me will be able to complete it! Hallelujah!

Let us pray:

Father God,  thank you that the righteous are like a tree planted by the riverside and we produce evidence of our faith in You.

Thank you for working in us, both to will and to do of your good pleasure. And therefore, everything we do, including our health, relationships, career, etc continually prosper well. 

 We stand against all the forces of evils who are trying to enforce evil standards and cyclical issues in our lives. 

We thank You for the grace to identify root issues,  the tactics of eliminating all, and the enabling grace of restorative healings, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Giving up is not an Option:

Hey people of God.

Beautiful day, negative 6 temperatures 🌡,  and it feels like negative 18!

However, we got power indoors to stay warm!

Now, consider those without power, shelter, food or warm clothing!

Let Us Pray:

Father, thank you for this new day,  new life,  new experiences and the challenges of living a Godly life in Christ.

We are grateful for your loving care, abundant and boundless mercies that keeps us going even when all around us seem to be freezing 🥶 up or facing hardships. 

We lift up those who are right now not in a good place   with their health, finances, food, housing, relationship, etc, and ask that You intervene to help them overcome them. 

Touch their friends, neighbors,  families to minister of their substances to them,  to alleviate their sufferings right now,  in Jesus Christ matchless name we pray. Amein .

Weaponizing faith in God:

If you can just spend a few seconds to check your life in retrospect, you’ll discover that you made awful decisions, and acted in error  when you were most afraid. Which further complicated your life. 

However, if you make God your confidant, and discuss all your fears with Him in prayers,  faith will well up in you,  and you’ll act right.  

That’s why the Bible says:

“Every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. 1 John 5:4, NLT

When you weaponize your faith,  you have to trust God enough to cast your cares on Him, and be obedient to God’s Word. 

Your obedience to God disables the spirit of error and other related evil spirits. 

And when you are no longer influenced by the spirits of fears,  errors and their relatives, you’ll be victorious over all satan’s devices, and you’ll never be captive of the fear of man which is a snare/trap!

Choose your fight!

Some battles are so unnecessary!

Be wise my friend. 

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. 

Weaponize your faith today!
