HALLELUJAH AS A WEAPON

10/2/2023

"Yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation" (Habakkuk 3:18).

Consider every unpleasant and difficult circumstance this month as a gift. They were not designed to bring you down but to lift you up. May I remind you that the same flood that destroyed the whole world in Noah's days was the same flood that lifted the ark to safety? So relax and shout hallelujah! Jesus said in John 16:33 (AMP): "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration, but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]" In other words, every daunting and frustrating circumstance has been stripped of its ability to harm you. Even those that were fashioned to cause you harm, God has turned them around for your good. Now, they cannot prosper! Hallelujah!

2 Corinthians 4:17 says, "For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor, and an endless blessedness]!" So whatever bad news you hear is really good news in disguise. What others may call adversity is a miracle that is being unraveled. So, do not be worried or afraid. The Word of God in you will not fail. If God says count it all joy, count it all joy, with a hallelujah raised to His name! 

Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Because God does not change, His word will not change. If He says that difficult times are no match for the glory of His Spirit in your soul, then raise your hallelujah! Learn from Papa God. Psalm 2:1-4 says that when the nations conspired, and the kings of the earth plotted against the Lord and His anointed, "The One enthroned in heaven [laughed]; the Lord [scoffed] at them." This is how God handles bad news. He laughs. And He does this each time we are faced with trouble. He laughs, not because He wants to see us unhappy and defeated, but He rejoices because our true grit is revealed in such moments, and the depth of His glory is unleashed. How else would those around you know that the Greater one lives inside you? Joshua 5:1 says, "Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the Lord had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear, and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites."

Child God, come hell or high waters, raise a hallelujah! Amid satan's shenanigans, raise your hallelujah! When it seems like all hope is lost, raise a hallelujah! You are too beautiful to give in to depression, discouragement, and fear because He that has called you is faithful, and He will complete it. The victory is already yours in Jesus' name. So, raise your hallelujah!

GLORY

Faith-Filled Confession:

Thanks be to God, who always leads me in perpetual victory in Christ and, through my life, makes manifest His manifold wisdom and power. To Him, be all glory forever! Amen.

Prayer Point

Colossians 4:3, "Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ..."

Let's thank God for the just concluded 7 Days of Renewal and Global Day of Praise. Also, pray for open and effectual doors for expansion and increased influence of the gospel through our ministry to the nations. Declare that our gospel and ministry will continue to grow in influence and dominate religion and all forms of evil.
