We know that the intensity in spirit with which we pursue everything that God sets before us is not the achievement in itself; but it is a means to reach the goal. We want to win a decisive victory. Soldiers in a battle are not primarily concerned about confronting the enemy and shooting at him.… Continue reading Torment or perfect love?

Behold, Jehovah, was passing by
Things that happened in centuries past seem to be happening again. In I Corinthians 10:11, Paul tells us, Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. The story in I Kings 19 is the sequel to the… Continue reading Behold, Jehovah, was passing by
We’ve done it, we won it
Those who trust in the Lord are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever. Psalm 125:1–2. God’s people are to be like an immovable mountain with the Lord surrounding them. Zechariah prophesied a similar Word:… Continue reading We’ve done it, we won it
Look, no vipers!
How can you be an overcomer and win the victory over the flesh? You cannot win by your own efforts. Do not let yourself be distracted by the problems within. Focus your faith upon the Lord to bring the cleansing and the change. Do not look inward and struggle, but trust the Lord and relax… Continue reading Look, no vipers!
The guard to your heart and mind
Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice. Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard… Continue reading The guard to your heart and mind
Kicking a habit
One of the quickest ways to get a thing out of your system is to go on a fast. It will remove every kind of poison—drug addiction, even nicotine from you, if you really fast. But stay away from your habit, even if you are climbing the walls. Just recognize that you really will go… Continue reading Kicking a habit
Down with strongholds
The Lord has been preparing us to be both violent and victorious in our spirits: … the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12b. As an outgrowth of that thinking, we find in II Corinthians 10, that there are three things which all weapons in God will cast… Continue reading Down with strongholds

Behold, is not the hand of the Lord with you that there should be a release to your spirit this day? Be not heavy hearted nor discouraged, say not in your heart that God delayeth too long.

The gift of victory
Have you ever been in a situation in which you felt that in every way it was what God had for you; it was your heritage? At such a time Satan will invariably try to distract you from it, and see if you’ll accept something less. He’s trying to convince you to give back the… Continue reading The gift of victory
A partaker of His victory
I would exhort you in the Lord, that if your hearts are heavy because of the greatness of the spiritual conflict in which you’re engaged, let your heart be lifted up with joy this day before the Lord, for know that He has chosen thee to be a part of that holy remnant that shall… Continue reading A partaker of His victory
Christ came to destroy the works of the devil
One of the things that happened before the Passover when the Lord was crucified, was that the disciples were called with Him into Gethsemane and the spirit of heaviness came upon them until they were so drowsy that they couldn’t keep their eyes open. Always at a moment before a great victory, that spirit of… Continue reading Christ came to destroy the works of the devil
Destined for victory
We shall worship the Lord and prophesy, for the Body cometh together to be strengthened mutually by what each shall bring forth in the Spirit. Behold, the battle is given to thee to prevail over all the enemy. This is thy heritage in the Lord. Thy destiny is that thou shalt walk in the victory… Continue reading Destined for victory
Victory
From the time that Christians are converted, they are never in a position where they do not have victory. They may sometimes accept defeat, but they never fail to have the victory. This sounds like a paradox. What does it mean? The victory was won for us and given to us by Jesus Christ. We… Continue reading Victory
