Sunday Post~Enemies of the Kingdom


If you will beat your enemy you must have a lot of information.
Scriptural Ref.
2Tim.3; Isa.60:1-2; Rev.13:10-18 ;Rev. 17.
Lots of evil things going on in the world.
Spirit of the evil prostitute woman who sits on many waters has bound the world. Rev.17. She is drunk with the blood of the saints. These waters symbolise nations, kings, the church is not exempted, it is under attack.
Nothing comes from hell to entertain you. Such as Pornography, prostitution, fashion and the like. These are meant to destroy you.
The church is perishing for lack of knowledge; many are lost in these sins.
They are living "smartly".

Sunday Post~Worship as a Weapon of Warfare.


2 Corinthians 10: 3 - 5 ~ Church members were engaged in a physical battle. For instance, when saw someone would go astray, they would beat him up, thinking they were engaged in a physical battle.
Our battle is however not physical...

Ephesians 6: 12 ~ We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities...that's the war we are engaged in day and night.
Our weapons include: Prayer, Love and Worship, amongst others.
Worship is to adore.
True worship proclaims that Jesus is above everything else; causing you to be released of what is letting you down.
We worship the ones we love. When we love God, we will sing to Him. God deserves our worship.

Worship invites the presence of the Lord in any situation. Daniel, Meshach and Abednego refused to bow down and worship the statue of Nebuchadnezzar. God was present in their fire.

Worship brings comfort and healing. King Soul was possessed by a spirit, which would leave when David played the harp (1 Samuel 16:14-17)

When should we worship the Lord?
  •     When you see trouble coming, praise the Lord, it could be difficult to praise the Lord when you are down cast.
  •     Exodus 15: 1 - 21, they sang to the Lord because of the victory. Remember, the battle is the Lord's and the victory is ours.
  •     Worship the Lord at all times (Psalms 96:1 - 2). Worship ought to be on a daily basis. Let a song of worship be on your heart everyday.
In conclusion meditate on Psalms 95:1 - 7.

Sunday Post~Valley of Jehosophat



May all students be prosperous, the Lord covers you... Because He loves you.

Luke 5:4.. Launch out into the deep.
Stewardship.
Everything we have is from God, everything we do, we do it a servants of the Lord. As we work, we need to have the right attitude.
Work unto the Lord.

Cultivating the presence of God through worship.
Simple acts of love, (Psalms 22:3) are worship to the Lord.
The Lord manifests in the presence of his people.
As we love God's people, God manifests.
We are encouraged to continue

Worship as an act of Spiritual war fare.
David discovered the secret of worship, his life was never a very smooth life.
David as a young boy had to learn how to fight lions.
He was anointed as a king, and the king started to plan to kill him.
David's life was difficult, but he discovered the secret of praise and worship.
When you prise in spirit, your mind becomes redundant, it no longer focuses in the pains of this world.

The mind becomes redundant and the spirit man becomes active. We r living in constant warfare, an as children of the Lord, we must confront grants.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Our wweapons r not cannel, but are mighty through God. They cast down imaginations, the enemy within. We should confront the enemy within our imaginations.
The enemy within our imagination manifests in form of:
- Fear, when fear begins to rule your life an u don't act appropriately, it starts to ruin your life, fear blocks the mind, makes you dull.

Confronting the external enemy using praise and worship.
2 Chronicles 20:1 ~Story of Jehoshaphat.. He was the King of Judah. Jehoshaphat means the Lord judges.

Ahab was a king of Israel, the Bible describes him to have done the the most detestable things on Earth.
Jehoshaphat allied with Ahab, even married his daughter, so he begun to get into trouble.

But, as Jehoshaphat was being attacked by enemies from many sides, he consulted of the Lord, he declared a fast allover his kingdom. When u r in the valley of Jehoshaphat, sometimes you do things that are not in your normal routine.
***In the valley of Jehosphat****
While in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, seek if the Lord....

They had to take up there position and stand fairm, don't be afraid, don't be discouraged. (once you conquer the inner enemy, you can attack the outer enemy)

All Jerusalem worshiped before the Lord.
Have faith in the Lord and you will be upheald, have faith in His prophets and you will be victorious.
"Give thanks to the Lord for His love endures for ever"

Jehoshaphat feared, when faced with fear, those are the times when we must turn to God. When faced with giants in live, turn to God.
****When you worship the Lord, your mind becomes redundant, and your spirit becomes active*****

Even when demons attack you in dreams, don't wake up defeated.

***The battle is not mine, it is for the Lord****
Declare that till it moves from your head to the heart. Don't carry along the giant to fear with you, be like Joshua and Caleb, yes you have seen the giants, but you acn conquer them.

Giants have a way of intimidating ~Goliath.

2 Corinthians 20:23
As you begin to sing and praise, the Lord will send ambushes against your enemies, and they will be defeated.
Your enemies will start to fight against each other.
The giants will become dead bodies lying on the ground.
Once they are defeated, you will carry there plunder, you will have there wealth, more than you can take.
***There was solo much plunder, it took 3 days to collect****

The valley of death will turn to a valley if blessing. The pace to this day is called the valley of Baraka
- Your mourning is turned into dancing, your sorrows into joy.

All men returned joyfully to Jerusalem for the Lord had given them reason to rejoice.

And your kingdom will be at peace for God gives you rest.

***In that valley of trouble, God can turn it into blessings, when you depend on the Lord***


Walk in the presence of the Lord and you will be victorious.
