Word of the Week – 10/11/09

CONTEND FOR YOUR PROPHETIC FUTURE!

Now is not the time to faint, slow down or get exhausted. Look within, look to My strength, look to my Spirit. Pray that you would be strengthened with all might in your inner man. You have the stamina. You have what it takes. You can overcome, stand, and push through to victory in every area by My grace, using My ability, through My strength. I always cause you to triumph. You are strong in the power of My might. The battles you face, will face and are currently engaged in are spiritual battles that the enemy is using carnal weapons to wage. Circumstances, symptoms, and thoughts that exalt themselves against My destiny, promises and plans for your life. Therefore, you must take out and the use spiritual weapons I have given you to fight the good fight of faith – praise, worship, speaking the Word, meditating on My promises, focusing on the prophetic words I have given you previously, and taking your thoughts and imaginations captive through the power of My Spirit. Recognize that every so-called giant that you face, every impulse that you have to quit, every lie that the enemy whispers in your ears are nothing when compared to My greatness and My ability that is within you. You are able to do all things through Christ. You are more than a conqueror. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. You are mighty through Me. You have been given all things pertaining to life and godliness. You have been given My name which has authority over all things in heaven and earth. The enemy has no authority, he must deceive you into weakness. Speak to mountains. Speak to symptoms. Don’t allow emotions, circumstances, or thoughts that are not mine to fool or dominate you. Sow the word. Speak it aloud. Keep it before your eyes. Establish your heart in the truth. Resist the devil with all I’ve taught you and He will flee. The seen realm will align with My will if you faint not and continue to contend for your rightful inheritance. You are in a season of growth. You are learning to walk by faith in what I’ve promised, independent of how it looks. Your job is to just confront the lie, confront the symptom, confront the lack using your spiritual weapons. Now is not the time to be passive. Again I say, confront the lies. Confront the enemy. He is defeated and will flee before you as you stand firm. The current battles that you face, if you will just continue to fight the good fight of faith, will serve as the victories in the future that you will reflect on like David did with the bear and the lion. These battles have the potential to launch you into even greater exploits. So don’t despise them, face them head on in My power and use all of the weapons of warfare that I have trained you to use. Victory is in your hands. See it, believe it, speak it and watch it transpire right before your very eyes. Encourage yourself in the Lord. Praise me when it’s hard. Recognize that My presence and power is with you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I am with you, lo until the very end.
