Praise the Lord!
We as children of God, as the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus have the ultimate weapon – The Word of God! It is so important that we study the Word of God in these last days. The enemy is roaming around seeking those he can devour. He desires to get your eyes off the prize which we will receive when Jesus comes back for His own. Now is not the time to fall to the wayside or let the cares of this world cause us to give up, cave in and quit! It’s time to pick up the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and began to wield that sword skillfully in the name of Jesus, and that ‘ol slew-footed devil will cease in his maneuvers and stop in his operations against us. It’s time that we stop buying the lies of enemy. God is for us; therefore, who can SUCCESSFULLY be against us. It may come, but it can’t succeed in Jesus’ name. Whose report will you believe?? I, Shan, will believe the report of the Lord.
Saints of God, we’ve been deceived by the devil too long. We’ve owned things God has not ordained for His children. I’ve recently, like today, had a situation to come up, not gonna go into details, and the devil thought he had won. But praise be unto God who causes me to triumph in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 2:14). This situation hit me on a “blind-side”, that’s why I've gotten new review mirrors, and almost caused me to wrecked. I almost forgot that I wasn’t driving anyway. My Father God who art in Heaven, whom I lean on, rely on, and confidently trust in was at the wheel – causing my spirit to “right” itself in the lane/path in which He has called me. Come to think of it, as I write, I didn’t put on my armor today; I had been in a rush to do my part of the agreement and didn’t put on my armor to withstand the wiles/tricks of the enemy (Ephesians 6:10). I allowed myself to be unprotected and distracted. This is why I always ask you ‘Did you put your armor on today?’ I guess I should have been asking myself that very thing this morning. But as I always say, I am not perfect, but I strive towards the perfection in God through Christ Jesus. But the devil tried to sell me some “gold-plated” quarters saying they are U. S. Mint. He tried to convince me that I didn’t hear from God. Now, I knew this was a lie when I first heard this, but I was blinded by anger and had let it get the best of me. The Word of God says he that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit has to say (Revelations 2:17). Not only do I have two (2) perfectly working physical ears, but I have “spiritual” ears anointed to hear that which the Spirit is saying. I got in there and began to pray in the Spirit asking the Lord to take up my cause (Jeremiah 20:12). Vengeance is the Lord, and He will repay (Romans 12:19). I know MY Father’s voice, and a voice of a stranger I DO NOT FOLLOW (John 10:4, 5). This is one of the reasons we, Christians, need to know the Word of God for ourselves. The devil tried to get me to own “spiritual deafness”, but he is a liar and the truth is not in him. He is the defeated foe where the Pirozzi’s are concerned. I WIN! He loses! He thought he was going to shut up the valves of the living water that flows within my spirit! That which the enemy has meant for my harm, MY God has turned it around for MY good! I WIN! He loses!
The same thing goes with our healing. So many times we own our sickness. We say more of our symptoms than we do The Word of God. Again I ask you ‘Whose report will you believe’? I mean we will own the flu/cold like it’s a valuable item we’ve purchased (ouch hallelujah). But no more! By the stripes of Jesus we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). 1 Peter 2:24 says we were healed, because Jesus has already paid the price for our healing. He bore every sickness, disease that we could ever have upon Himself. That’s how much He loves us. Ephesians 1:20-21 says He, Jesus, is seated at the right hand of the Father far above all the power of the enemy, and every name that is name, He, Jesus, has put under His feet. Every name that is name (cancer, flu, common cold, headache – you name it) has to bow down to the name of Jesus. Jesus paid the price for any sickness and disease which means that you don’t own it! You didn't pay for it; it’s not yours. So give it up and give it to God!
Stop owning fear men and women of God! God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, and of power and a sound mind. Stop allowing fear to come in; it hinders you from hearing from God. Since God did not “give” you a spirit of fear; it’s not yours! Stop owning it! If He, God, gave it to you, then it would be yours, but since the scripture specially stated the He did not give you, then it’s not yours. So let go and let God!
Saints (not New Orleans), there are so many things we own that God never intended for us to have. The Word of God tells me that His people are destroyed/that they perish for a lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). We as “Christians” allow the “Father of lies” to sell us garbage, and as a result we lose heart, cave in and give up. But no more! We take on sickness and disease like we have to paid the price for it, and some of us die due to it, and Jesus has already died for us. We own fear, letting it torment, causing us to lose sleep and to be stressed out. All this can cause us serious illnesses, and can even kill us – this is not the will of the Father – But God! Get in God’s Word and see what He has said concerning your situation. There is a “word” in God’s Word for everything we can ever go through, but we perish, we are destroyed in some areas of our lives because we do not have knowledge of His Word. Today, stop owning things that do not line with His Word.
Remember, weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalms 30:5) if we will hold on and don’t let go of the knowledge that is in God’s Word. The joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Always continue to fight the good fight of faith (1Timothy 6:12). Keep faith in God’s Word (2 Timothy 4:7) Remember there's a sinner's prayer on this site. If you have back-slid or haven't tasted and seen that the Lord is Good, say this prayer. You don't have to be in a church building to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is a moment that will happen, and it will happen in a twinkling of an eye (as fast as you can blink), and those who have confessed Jesus as Lord and have walked according to the Word of God will be raptured up to be with Him forever and ever. Yes, it sounds too fantastical to be real, but don't take the chance that it's not and be left behind. So don't put this off. No one knows the hour or the day when this will take place, but it is for us to be ready when it's time to go. The first step is to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you say this prayer, contact me; let me welcome you and personally encouraged you in your new life with Jesus! .
