Opposition

             …Recognizing the enemy tactic… It’s like lifting weights in the gym. The more you resist the heaviness and push the weight back in tenacity, the more muscle that will be built and strength gained. Resist the devil and he will flee.

Warning – “Don’t take the pen and try and script out your life story. It’s impossible for self to produce anything of heavenly worth. Self cannot imitate God’s ability. We must not let self hold a control position in our life, otherwise we will produce man-made fruit poisoning those around us, rather than Spirit-born fruit that imparts the living reality of Christ. Self’s solution ends up being a wild-donkey, while God’s solution is a startling demonstration of His glory.”

Get rid of self-striving and let the Spirit work. Trust Him to bring seemingly impossible circumstances into place. I want my life to be a testimony that only God can get credit from; that can only be explained in terms of Jesus. Fully yielding to God’s manner, method, and timing brings about a heavenly result for which no man can possibly receive credit. It’s all about ABSOLUTE SURRENDER.

Warning – “Don’t ever be fooled into thinking that you are sufficient outside of God. If God says you need His inheritance, than trust Him, you need His inheritance. The wages of self-reliance are always death and spiritual poverty.”

Boast only in the name of Jesus; none of your own gifts or power or wisdom. Be defined by Jesus alone. Aggressively pursue the inheritance of God. Our inheritance is Christ in us, the hope of glory.

The root of every sin is: unbelief, not believing in His promises. A lack of confidence in believing that God is truly who He says He is.

God is NOT a servant to OUR agenda. We must submit to HIS agenda. Keep a watchful soul. Guard your mind and heart. We’re in a spiritual war, the battle is within, and we must fight this battle by ABIDING IN CHRIST.

Be still & know that He’s God and is capable of performing all that He has promised to perform. Jesus, take your place in the center of my heart. Only You can lead me into obedience. Help me to worship in spirit and truth. Only You can satisfy. Help me love you more. Expand my cup to receive everything that’s pouring out of heaven right now.
