“The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold.” (Psalm 46:11)
Be assured that Christianity is a life of perpetual victory. It is the dominion of the Spirit expressed through you — a life of total authority over hell, death, and satan. It is not a beggarly life. A thousand times NO! Christianity is a life of prosperity, favor, and divine influence.
It is the emission of the divine essence to the people of the earth. Colossians 1:27 declares, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”The presence of Christ in you is God’s symbol of hope to your community, which means you are God’s man or woman for this moment. Right now, wherever you are, the Lord is influencing your world through His power and glory. You are a vessel by which God dispenses His virtues, perfection, beauty, glory, and power on the earth. Be conscious of this right now! Praise God!
We must also understand that the divine life is not a promise — it is a reality. It dominates the sense realm. The divine life, the Word, and the Spirit in you are God’s solutions to the cries of many — including your family members, coworkers, neighbors, and even strangers at the mall.
Be assured that the Word and works of God are irreversible. Concerning His Word, the Bible says, “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”(Isaiah 55:11).
This means the Word that comes from God’s mouth cannot return without a testimony of “accomplished,” “done!” No wonder Gabriel told Mary, “No word from God will ever fail.” (Luke 1:37).
So when God says, “Whatever is born of God overcomes the world…” (1 John 5:4), be assured of it! It is not a promise waiting to happen — it is your present-hour reality.
When the Spirit declares, “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you…”(Isaiah 54:17), don’t just give it mental assent. Let it sink deeply into your spirit. Let it dominate your senses. These are not mere promises — they are your reality!
2 Corinthians 1:20 says, “For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding ‘Yes!’ And through Christ, our ‘Amen’ ascends to God for His glory.”Hallelujah!
Are you faced with a daunting challenge today? Do not fret or be anxious. Instead, pray the Word with thanksgiving, and “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:7).
This is to say: RELAX! Rest in what God has said and continue in thanksgiving. The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, said, “I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” (Philippians 1:6).
So cheer up and be assured that the LORD of hosts is with you; the God of Jacob is your stronghold!
God Bless You!
Faith-Filled Confession
I am assured of my salvation, victory, prosperity, divine health, favor, wisdom, peace, joy, love, progress, and all that grace has made available to me in Christ Jesus. I know the hand of God is upon my life; therefore, I refuse to fear or doubt. I know that all things work together for my good. I rejoice in God’s Word. I rejoice because my triumph over sickness, hell, and death is forever assured. Praise God!
MID YEAR PRAYER AND FASTING
WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE LEADERS OF NATIONS
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgement. Isaiah 32:1
Pray that our leaders are bold to say No to the evil counsel and pressure from non-state actors, urging them to compromise human rights and jeopardize the future of their nation.
Declare that they yield their hearts to the guidance of God’s Spirit, to speak up for the truth and bold to reject and expose the machinations of evil and the counsel of darkness.
Declare that the light of the glorious gospel shines brighter and brighter and prevail in the nations.
