Happy New Year Everybody!!
Well,… Out with the Old and IN with the NEW (Year)!
Virginia and I want to encourage and challenge you with several words from God’s Word for 2012. We believe the scriptures we are impressed to share with you are we all need to meditate on (Joshua 1:8) and apply (Jas 1:22-24) throughout the coming year! God has made it plain in His Word … He has a ‘GOOD Plan’ … for EACH of us. (Jer.29:11)
Contrary to what the world, the flesh and the devil would tell us, we can each have a PHENOMINAL YEAR in 2012, … regardless of what anyone else has to say about it! The Word of God declares several times, “AS a man (or woman) THINKETH …in his (or her) HEART, … SO IS HE (or SHE)”. Not Only is WHAT we THINK important, but equally important is … WHAT WE CONTINUALLY SPEAK OUT of OUR MOUTHS! (Mark 11:22-24) tells us that… “WE HAVE, WHAT WE SAY, and that LIFE and DEATH is IN the POWER of OUR TONGUE” (Prov. 18:21)
God tells us, WE are precious in His sight(Jn 3:16) and that He loves us in spite of our imperfections, and shortcomings. He told us that He has made A WAY for US (Jn.14:6) and that “WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST who EMPOWERS US”!(Phil 4:13) HE is ‘EXPECTING’ GREAT THINGS out of HIS CHILDREN in 2012!!!
Not only that, but He said that …”HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT EVERYTHING that CONCERNS US”! HE stated plainly HIS WILL concerning OUR WELLBEING in (III Jn 2). “I WISH,” (or MY WILL IS)… “ABOVE ALL THINGS, that YOU PROSPER”, (the Word here in the Greek has to do with Materially, Naturally); … “AND BE IN HEALTH” (which has to do with your Physical Body),… but the KEY IS…” EVEN AS … YOUR SOUL Prospers ( and THIS Only happens when one has been BORN-AGAIN and is WALKING AS A DOER of GOD’S WORD!
I’m so glad that GOD let us in on the TRUTH that… “Whatever WE ALLOW, … HE will ALLOW, and Whatever WE FORBID, … HE WILL ALSO FORBID! (Mt.18:18-20)
Our Hope for you is this year is that YOU will ALLOW JESUS to BE …YOUR SENIOR PARTNER, …Your SAVIOR, …YOUR LORD, …YOUR HEALER, …YOUR PROVIDER, and the GREAT SHEPHERD that HE IS!! HE said, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE!!! HE ALONE IS GOD,…and HE ALONE can SHOW YOU HOW TO RECEIVE the GOOD DESIRES that HE PLACED IN YOUR HEART!
TODAY IS the DAY of SALVATION! Read (Romans 10:8-10) and DO WHAT IT SAYS! God is FAITHFUL to HIS WORD! He PROMISED that … AS WE DELIGHT OURSELVES in the Lord (IN His WORD, HEARING and DOING IT), HE will cause ALL of our needs and desires to be FULFILLED. (Psm 37:4).
My thoughts for this new year are that WE EACH need to DECIDE to OBEY HIM and PUT HIM FIRST… CONTINUOUSLY!!!
Bob Dylan had a great song, “YOU gotta SERVE SOMEBODY”!
GOD has PROMISED YOU in (Mt.6:33) IF YOU will… ‘SEEK FIRST” (one translation says…the PROMOTION of)…” the KINGDOM of GOD … and ‘HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS’, … ALL the THINGS that YOU NEED … and WANT (DESIRE), …WILL BE ADDED unto YOU”!!!
In other words GOD has said, … YOU take care of MY BUSINESS, and I’LL TAKE CARE of YOURS!!! That sound like a pretty GOOD Deal to me.
IT’S TIME to MAKE A DECISION! It’s time to DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND!!! WHAT do YOU WANT? DECIDE, … then DECREE IT … and ACCEPT NOTHING LESS than GOD’S BEST! (Job 22:28)
To do this, you will have to (II Peter 5:7) CAST ALL of Your CARES…on HIM (JESUS), and … LEAVE THEM THERE!!!
DARE TO BELIEVE … and TRUST that … HE WILL DO WHAT HE SAID, AS YOU DO WHAT HE ASKED YOU to DO!!!
SOONER or LATER, YOU are going to have to have to learn to TRUST HIM … and not DOUBT HIM!!!
THIS IS ‘the FIGHT’ we are in; it’s called ‘the FIGHT of FAITH’! (I Tim 6:12) JESUS called it “A GOOD FIGHT”… because HE ALREADY WON IT FOR US!!!
WE might as well learn HOW to WALK IN the VICTORY that HE Purchased for US…with His PRECIOUS BLOOD! The Fight is NOT Really with the DEVIL, for JESIUS ALREADY DEFEATED HIM. The FIGHT, we are in …until we go and be with HIM; is “The FIGHT of FAITH”. It’s a FIGHT …to ALWAYS BELIEVE HIS WORD of PROMISE …and ACT UPON IT … no matter WHAT WE FEEL, THINK or FEAR! The SOONER WE LEARN HOW to DO THIS, the SOONER WE LEARN to WALK IN VICTORY; and the SOONER the BLESSINGS WILL MANIFEST IN OUR LIVES! To HAVE a GREAT YEAR in 2012, We must DAILY CHOOSE … to BELIEVE HIS WORD and ACT UPON HIS WORD without QUESTION!
This year we must DISCIPLINE OURSELVES! WE MUST CRUCIFY our flesh;… (which is the desire … to do… and have things OUR WAY instead of TRUSTING GOD. WE MUST Learn to WALK IN LOVE and IN Instant Obedience to the promptings of the Holy Spirit within!)
We must (Phil.4:8) THINK ON GOOD THINGS (God’s Promises); and we must endeavor to be DO’ERS of (Mt 16:24-26)! We MUST… Make Ourselves… TRUST HIM (Prov.3:5-6); and WE MUST AGGRESSIVELY CAST DOWN (II Cor.10:3-5) … EVERY THOUGHT and IMAGINATION that tries to get a STRONGHOLD in OUR MINDS, …but is NOT IN AGREEMENT with GOD’S WORDS of PROMISE to US!
2012 is going to be an EXTREMELY BLEST YEAR for ALL those who MAKE the DECISON to PUT GOD, HIS WORD – JESUS, and His HOLY SPIRIT FIRST,… AND KEEP HIM FIRST! The Blessing of (MT.6:33) WILL ACCOMPANY ALL THOSE … who are DO’ERS of THIS WORD! (Mk.11:22-24) These will walk in POWER and DEMONSTRATION of HIS SPIRIT (i cOR.2:4), and they will get WHAT they SAY.
GOD loves YOU and BELIEVES that with HIMSELF as YOUR SENIOR PARTNER, YOU CANNOT FAIL!!!
Virginia and I want to express TO YOU that WE also BELIEVE IN YOU! WE BELIEVE that YOU are god’s best AND THAT with GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT leading you, YOU are an UNBEATABLE and UNDEFEATABLE force,… that the DEVIL will FLEE FROM…AS IN TERROR and release HIS CAPTIVES as HE FLEES!!!
Let’s make 2012 a year in which WE GO IN… to the ENEMY’S CAMP… and WE TAKE BACK NOT ONLY WHAT the DEVIL has STOLEN, but WE TAKE BACK A SEVEN- FOLD RETURN to the GLORY of GOD!!!
HAVE A HAPPY (BLEST) NEW YEAR – ALL YEAR, no matter what!!!
WE ARE GONNA HAVE an OUTSTANDING YEAR so Why Not JOIN US, and WE WILL ALL just HAIR-LIP the DEVIL …REAL GOOD!!
IN HIM,
Garth & Virginia Hickey
MOST PEOPLE have little understanding concerning WHAT … THE BIBLE teaches … about HELL, (and for that matter, HEAVEN). In the next several teachings, my intent is to acurrately deliver to you …THE TRUTH … about HELL; … WHERE it is, … WHAT it’s like,… WHO WILL BE GOING THERE and … HOW TO AVOID GOING THERE!!!
Most … (INTELLIGENT)people agree, that sooner or later, EVERYONE … WILL DIE; BUT THEN WHAT???
Most people are ignorant of, … or have incorrect information as to…WHAT ’GOD’ SAYS … HAPPENS NEXT; … and… FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY.
ARE YOU WILLING TO GAMBLE …YOUR ETERNITY,… YOUR FOREVER and EVER ???
IF … YOU NEGLECT TO HEAR, KNOW …and ACT UPON, …WHAT ‘GOD’ SAYS ABOUT IT, … A UNIMAGINABLE, …HORROR FILLED, …HOPELESS, …UNTHINKABLE and UNCEASING FATE, AWAITS YOU … NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, … NOR … HOW GOOD YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!
SIX TIMES in the NEW TESTAMENT we are told, “DON’T BE IGNORANT…”
Proverbs 19:2 says, “That … THE SOUL BE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE, … IT IS NOT GOOD”!
Proverbs 27:12 tells us, “A PRUDENT MAN (or woman), FORESEES EVIL and Hides himself (or herself); THE SIMPLE pass on and are punished”.
Proverbs 18:13 says, “HE(or SHE)… THAT ANSWERETH A MATTER … BEFORE HE (SHE) HEARS IT, IT … IS FOLLY,… AND SHAME … TO HIM(HER)”!!!
Mark Twain said, “We are all ignorant, just about different things”
Proverbs 14:12 TELLS US: “There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the END thereof… IS …THE WAY of DEATH!”
Lk 11:35 says “MAKE SURE … that THE LIGHT … you think you have, IS NOT ACTUALLY … DARKNESS (NLT)
Jesus said, “I AM, …THE WAY,… THE TRUTH … and THE LIFE, and …NO MAN(or WOMAN),…COMES TO THE FATHER, … BUT BY ME”.
He also told us: “MY WORD,… IS TRUTH!!!”. (REALITY)
ARE YOU AWARE, that HUMAN BIENGS are …ETERNAL BEINGS.
According to the Bible,WHEN A PERSON DIES, their SPIRIT and SOUL, … IMMEDIATLY… LEAVE THEIR BODY and GO … TO ANOTHER …VERY REAL PLACE!
The BIBLE tells us speaks of A LITERAL PLACE CALLED HELL OVER 300 TIMES! IT TELLS US THAT… THERE ARE…ONLY TWO POSSIBLE DESTINATIONS for a PERSON when they DIE; HEAVEN … or … HELL!
Stay Tuned in for Part 2. Read (John Chapter 3) and (Rms 10:8-10) for a Preview of How to AVOID HELL and MAKE HEAVEN YOUR ETERNAL HOME!!!
Recommended Reading: Bill Wiese’s books “23 Minutes in Hell”, and “HELL” for more indepth understanding!
(Deuteronomy 28:1-14) These scriptures define everything that is under “THE BLESSINGS of THE LAW”, THESE BELONG TO YOU as a BLOOD BOUGHT CHRISTIAN.
(Deuteronomy 28:15-68) These scriptures define everything that is under “THE CURSE of The LAW”. These things DO NOT BELONG TO YOU.
(Galatians 3:13, 14, 29) These scriptures tell you that “CHRIST HAS REDEEMED US’ from ‘THE CURSE of THE LAW’ (above), so that ‘THE BLESSING of THE LAW ‘MIGHT’ come upon US. (MIGHT … because it’s up to US, … WHAT WE ALLOW and … WHAT WE DON’T ALLOW … to a large degree.
(Hosea 4:6) “MY PEOPLE, (Christians) are DESTROYED, … due to ‘a LACK’ of KNOWLEDGE”; (of OUR COVENANT PROMISED BLESSINGS and HOW to APPROPRIATE THEM)
(Mathew 18:18-20) These scriptures tell you, “that … “WHATEVER ‘YOU’ BIND (Greek for bind = to tie up, forbid, declare to be unacceptable, or refuse to allow – (YOU DO this … with YOUR WORDS or YOUR LACK of WORDS, or with YOUR ACTIONS or LACK of ACTIONS) … on earth, … WILL BE BOUND … in Heaven”, (the 1st Heaven, the atmosphere right above the earth where the devil and His demonic spirits are working to orchestrate things against you (Ephesians 6:12)
…“and WHATEVER YOU LOOSE … on EARTH will be ‘LOOSED’ IN HEAVEN” (Greek = ALLOW – YOU/WE ALLOW … with OUR WORDS or OUR SILENCE, with OUR ACTIONS or LACK of ACTIONS)
(Mark 11:22-26) these scriptures tell you, “HAVE the GOD KIND of FAITH”, (note also(ROMANS 4:17), “WHEN YOU ‘SAY’ TO … a MOUNTAIN” (something rising up in front of you, to PREVENT YOU; an Obstacle, a Problem, a Challenge), … “BE THOU REMOVED and BE THOU CAST into the SEA, and DOUBT NOT … IN YOUR ‘HEART’, but BELIEVE … that THOSE THINGS (WORDS) that ‘YOU SAY’ – SHALL COME TO PASS, … YOU SHALL HAVE … WHATSOEVER ‘YOU SAY’.
AND … “WHATSOEVER THINGS YOU DESIRE, WHEN YOU PRAY, BELIEVE … that YOU RECEIVE THEM, (the THINGS YOU’VE DESIRED or ASKED FOR), … and YOU SHALL HAVE THEM”!!! … & Live … in an attitude of … Forgiveness.
(I John 5:14-15) these scriptures PROMISE YOU, “that IF YOU ASK ANYTHING, according to HIS WILL, HE HEARS YOU, … and IF YOU KNOW HE HEARS YOU, (which … he says HE DOES … IF you ask something according to HIS WILL), …then, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE the THINGS YOU ASKED for” – ‘for CERTAIN’. (The KEY here is … to KNOW FOR SURE, that WHAT You’ve asked for, … is HIS WILL!) How can You KNOW? Study the PROMISES of GOD TO YOU as A BELIEVER!!!
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED … WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON DOWN HERE…???
As we enter 2011, … MANY of GOD’S PROPHETS agree that …
GOD is calling HIS BODY, ‘THE CHURCH ( the TRUE BELIEVERS … IN JESUS CHRIST)’, to ARISE’ … PUT ON … God’s Whole Armor; (Eph.6:10-18 Amplified Translation.) ARM YOURSELF – (SATURATE / CLOTHE YOURSELF), … with GOD’S WORD, … and PRAYER, PRAY(at ALL times/without ceasing) - IN the SPIRIT, -(in Tongues vs with ‘the understanding’ – a language that you understand [I Cor 14:14-15]); and GO UP…and POSSESS ther LAND!!!
HUMANITY (ALL the people of the world, and especially America) has an ENEMY, .. one who is NOT, flesh and Blood. His name is SATAN. JESUS DEFEATED SATAN … in his DEATH, BURIAL and RESURRECTION, … BUT, … Jesus’ VICTORY … ONLY APPLIES … TO THOSE who are … (1) BORN-AGAIN (Jn 3:3; Rm.10:8-10) … (2) STANDING … ON THE PROMISES of GOD’S WORD (Eph.6:12-18), (3) LED by HIS HOLY SPIRIT(Rms.8:14)!
However, according to THE WORD of GOD – (The HOLY BIBLE), … ANYONE (without exception), who does not BELIEVE ON and TRUST IN … JESUS … for their SALVATION, is still under the Kingdom of Darkness’ Rule, … the ‘GOD of this World’ (II Cor.4:3-4). HE – (SATAN) is still here,… and he is still INFLUENCING and RULING UNBELIEVERS as much as possible in seven areas of modern life: (1) Apostate Religion (2) Business (3) Politics (4) Crime (5) Occultism & World Religions (6) Disease (7) Morals [as described in Dr Lester Sumrall's book -Demonology & Deliverance - Principalities and Powers Vol.1]
GOD originally created Satan as an angel - named Lucifer , who was created PERFECT,(Ezk..28:12-19), … until one day, SIN was found IN HIM – when he attempted to EXALT his throne ABOVE … GOD’S THRONE (Isa.14:12-17). - which GOD had given him (through PRIDE and REBELLION). According to God’s Word, Lucifer and 1/3 of all the angels (Rev.12:4), were thrown out of Heaven, … down … to the EARTH … where he roams to and fro in the atmosphere, (immediately above the earth’s surface), … seeking WHOM he may DEVOUR (Eph.2:2). He is no longer called Lucifer, but is now called – Satan, among many other names that describe his character and his works. He is EXCEEDINGLY ANGRY, as he KNOWS that his time it’s is SHORT. He KNOWS HIS FATE, … that soon he will be spending time in the BOTTOMLESS PIT; and shortly after that he and his angels will be risiding for eternity in ‘The LAKE of FIRE’. Till then, His Plan is to DECIEVE , STEAL, KILL and DESTROY as many people as possible; and keep them from BELIEVING and TRUSTING ON JESUS, the ONE who LOVED THEM and GAVE HIMSELF so that they could be REDEEMED and RELEASED from SATAN’S KINGDOM of DARKNESS.
In the Natural, America and the World is in BIG TROUBLE!!! Just open your eyes and ears. Turn on the news. You may or may not be aware that … everything … that has happened in human history, and ALL that will occur in the Earth, leading up to the end of things – as we know them, culminating with the second coming of Jesus Christ; has been prophesied in the Bible. All the Prophetic voices concur that the time is short before the anti-christ shows himself. His Systems are being instituted worldwide under the invisible yet very real orchestration of the kingdom of darkness. The current force that is holding this back is ‘the praying church’ .
THERE IS HOPE!!!
(II Chronicles 7:14) states that:”IF … MY people (the CHURCH of the LORD JESUS CHRIST), shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, (all throughout the bible this word HUMBLE , had to do with FASTING), … and PRAY, and SEEK … MY FACE, and TURN (AWAY) FROM their Wicked WAYS … THEN … I WOULD HEAR FROM HEAVEN, … FORGIVE their SIN, and HEAL their LAND.
SIN … is the MAIN CAUSE of the WORLD, the NATION … and the INDIVIDUAL who is facing IMPENDINGLY HOPELESS situations. If you do not understand this, open your BIBLE, begin with Genesis 1:1, and read through the whole OLD TESTAMENT. NOTE – the HISTORY of ALL NATIONS,… and especially ISREAL. STUDY their UPS and DOWNS - in RELATION TO HOW they DID or DID NOT HONOR the GOD, (the behind the scenes AUTHOR of THE BIBLE); the FATHER of JESUS CHRIST – the CREATOR and JUDGE of the WORLD.
NOTICE, WHENEVER ISRAEL (or ANYONE), … HONORED GOD,… REPENTED of their UNGODLY WAYS, … and TURNED from their SIN(S), (most often accompanied by FASTING and PRAYER but especially by BELIEVING and OBEYING HIS COMMANDMENTS; … THINGS GOT BETTER!!!
CONVERSELY; WHENEVER ANYONE QUIT BELIEVING IN, and OBEYING GOD’S COMMANDMENTS (GOD’S WORD),… THINGS ALWAYS GOT VERY BAD!
I BELIEVE that RIGHT NOW , … would be a GOOD TIME, for ALL PEOPLE, within or outside of AMERICA, Saved and Unsaved alike, TO REPENT of THEIR SINS!!!
IF YOU are NOT A BELIEVER in JESUS CHRIST – (according to the BIBLE TERMS for this – Rms.10:8-10), YOU Need to KNOW,… that GOD LOVES YOU … EXTREMELY, that HE sent HIS SON JESUS CHRIST to DIE for YOU,… to BEAR the PENALTY for YOUR SIN. HE did this (according to The Bible)… BECAUSE , … THERE IS … NO OTHER WAY …that YOU or ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING … CAN EVER come back into RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.(Jn.3:13-21)
HOWEVER, UNLESS WE (You, Me or ANYONE) BELIEVE ON, … and RECEIVE JESUS … as SAVIOR and LORD, JESUS said ….. WE have NO HOPE, … and WE will …(according to God’s Word) … ABSOLUTELY SPEND ETERNITY, away from God, with the DEVIL and HIS ANGELS !
HE either told us THE TRUTH … or … HE LIED TO US!!!
HAVE YOU READ the ‘NEW TESTAMENT’ THROUGH???
DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID, … or have you just heard what OTHERS told you??? ARE YOU Trusting … your eternity, to … what YOU HEARD SECOND HAND?
WE each must decide BEFORE IT’S TO LATE!
JESUS said … ”There is … NO OTHER NAME … under HEAVEN … by which a person can be saved”,(than Jesus). He said, “I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and THE LIFE, and NO PERSON comes to the FATHER BUT BY ME”; He said, the WAY is NARROW… and few their be that find it”, He said, “YOU MUST BE BORN-AGAIN” and read( Jn3:14-21 / Rms.10:8-10).
RE: The DEVIL HATES YOU… but GOD LOVES YOU!!!
REALIZE: NOT CHOOSING JESUS, … IS CHOOSING SATAN!!! The Bible says: “REPENT, and BELIEVE the GOSPEL”!!!
BELIEVE ON … the LORD JESUS CHRIST and YOU shall be SAVED! (Acts 16:31) TO BE SAVED, the BIBLE SAYS – YOU MUST: DO (Rms.108-10) CONFESS OUT-LOUD … with YOUR MOUTH, … “I BELIEVE IN MY HEARTthat JESUS CHRIST IS LORD”, and that GOD (the FATHER) raised JESUS from the dead for ME,… (to take away my sin)!!!
IF YOU are a CHRISTIAN (A BELIEVER), it would be a good time to FAST and PRAY and SEEK GOD’S FACE, … and REPENT of YOUR SINS (I Jn 1:9); The Bible tells us to “GIVE the DEVIL, … NO PLACE”; CLEAR OUT ANY/ALL SIN of the PAST!!! Begin to PRAY, not ONLY for YOURSELF and YOUR Family, but for OTHERS including the Gov’t Officials.
RE: YOU … HAVE BEEN GIVEN … AUTHORITY: PICK UP YOUR SWORD – (the WORD of GOD), PUT ON YOUR ARMOUR, and GO UP and POSSESS the LAND!!!
RE: WHATEVER,… YOU ALLOW, …GOD WILL ALLOW; and WHATEVER YOU FORBID, … GOD WILL FORBID !!! (Mt.18:18-20; Mk:11:22-24)
RE: YOUR ENEMY, … CAN ONLY BE CONQUERED… with SUPERNATURAL WEAPONS (II Cor.10:3-5;I Cor.12-15) GOD’S LOVE, …FASTING, …PRAYER, …BELIEVING, … the GIFTS of the HOLY SPIRIT, and OBEDIENCE GOD’S WORD.
6 Times in the NEW TESTAMENT GOD said, “DON’T BE IGNORANT…” Read (Hosea 4:6)
SO ARISE, MY DEAR BROTHERS and SISTERS, (Isa 43:18-19) START FRESH in 2011 ! Without the HOPE that YOU HAVE to OFFER – the WORLD has NO HOPE!!!
As Caleb and Joshua thought and said, ”WE ARE WELL ABLE to GO UP and POSSESS the LAND!!!
Greetings to all of you, …who are ‘FIGHTING’ … ‘the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH’!!!
IF one has to FIGHT, A GOOD FIGHT is a FIGHT that YOU WIN!
The Bible says…(in question form),
“If GOD be FOR YOU (which the Bible declares that HE IS, … FOR ALL who Love and Trust and Seek to find and Do HIS WILL), … WHO can be against YOU!!! (and WIN)
In this scripture, it is like GOD HIMSELF is sending out HIS CHALLENGE to ALL CONTENDERS …
“WHAT ARROGANT FOOL, … THINKS … that they can come AGAINST… YOU- (HIS PRECIOUS CHILD, HIS BLOOD BOUGHT, BORN-AGAIN CHILD - who is WALKING after/ or in line with, … HIS WORD, and HIS SPIRIT, … and WALKING IN -HIS LOVE toward his fellow man), and WIN???
It is as if God is saying, ‘DON’T YOU KNOW, …that, … I, the GOD and CREATOR of the UNIVERSE, …the GOD of ALL GODS … the ‘GREATER ONE’;
I AM WITHIN EVERY BLOOD-BOUGHT CHILD of MINE,
I AM ON HIS/HER SIDE,
I’VE GOT HIS/HER BACK;
I will “ALWAYS CAUSE MY CHILD TO TRIUMPH
and “NO WEAPON that is EVER FORMED AGAINST THEM … (by YOU … or any other DEVIL),… WILL PROSPER” … as they WALK WITH ME”?)
The Word says “GREATER is HE that is IN YOU, … than HE that is IN – THE WORLD” -(THOSE NOT UNDER THE BLOOD COVENANT of JESUS; …those NOT walking in line with God’s Word, God’s Spirit, and God’s Love.)
I believe that we EACH need to get a GREATER REVELATION of GOD’S PROMISE as written in PSALM 91.
I would suggest that you Study, EAT, SLEEP and DRINK PSALM 91. Memorize it, Personalize it, and SPEAK IT OUT LOUD DAILY(in the Present tense) – to GOD and to the devil; (They are BOTH Listening) as follows
“The Lord is … MY Shepherd,
I shall (DO) not want…(lack),
HE maketh ME to lie down… (I LIE DOWN in green pastures) etc., etc,.etc.
Study Deuteronomy 28 (whole chapter), then add Galatians 3:13,14,&29
‘YOU’ … ARE … REDEEMED , … from ALL that is listed under the CURSE of the LAW – Deut. 28:15-end of chapter.
Only the BLESSINGS of (Dt 28:1-14) belongs to YOU. … WHY?
BECAUSE ,… YOU … HAVE BEEN… MADE RIGHTEOUS – THROUGH the BLOOD of JESUS (ALONE), … Not by ANY OTHER THING!!!
HOWEVER, … AS LONG as YOU are ON EARTH, … YOU ARE IN a BATTLE, a FIGHT; and you have … AN ENEMY!!! (WHO JESUS – has ALREADY DEFEATED) HIS ONLY STRATEGY AGAINST YOU,… is to GET YOU … to
(1) NOT BELIEVE GOD’S WORD
(2) NOT STAND UPON GOD’S PROMISES
(3) NOT DO GOD’S WORD (which is ‘GOD’S WILL)
The DEVIL, has NO LEGAL RIGHT to bring ANY of the CURSES written therin, … upon you, … UNLESS YOU ALLOW IT …
(1) through IGNORANCE, (by THINKING ON or SPEAKING in AGREEMENT with Your ENEMY’S LIES about YOU),
(2) through harboring UNFORGIVENESS or BITTERNESS,… toward GOD, … yourself,… or others;
(3) through DELIBERATE & WILFULL DISOBEDIENCE,
(4) through BEING FEARFUL…
WHY NOT LEARN – HOW TO WIN!!!
Rms.1:16 says: ”The GOSPEL (the WORD of GOD ) … IS the POWER … of GOD , …unto SALVATION, (DELIVERANCE)
READ/ LISTEN TO/RECEIVE the WORD – MEDITATE on IT/ INGEST IT – as, … IT is ABLE to SAVE (HEAL, DELIVER) YOUR SOUL!!!
(II Cor.10:3-5 / Eph.6:12/ Jas.122))
God Bless You, HOPE YOU have a GREAT Month. Garth & Virginia
(I Thess.5:18) “IN EVERYTHING, GIVE THANKS…”,
“IN EVERYTHING, GIVE THANKS, for THIS (Your GIVING of THANKS), is the Will of GOD In CHRIST JESUS, concerning YOU”. (Written to Born-Again CHRISTIANS, which is the CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST on EARTH!)
IN… the trials, tests and circumstances of life, God COMMANDS ‘the BELIEVER’ to GIVE HIM THANKS, … IN EVERYTHING ,… NOT – FOR EVERYTHING!!!
God is telling us to ALWAYS … be giving HIM THANKSGIVING; … no matter what is happening all around you. WHY? HE IS WITH YOU,… and has stated that HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU. No matter what we’re encountering, we are to SERVE the LORD …with GLADNESS, THANKSGIVING and JOYFULNESS of Heart.
The devil wants us to become, angry, bitter, unforgiving, hopeless, confused, fearful, broken, confined, paralyzed, destroyed and etc.
(Prov.3:5-6) COMMANDS US: “TRUST IN THE LORD, with ALL of OUR HEART, (NOT OUR HEAD, – or our REASONING);
LEAN NOT unto our own UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS –ACKNOWLEDGE HIM…(let Him act as your Senior Partner concerning the CHOICES of YOUR LIFE),
and HE WILL DIRECT – your PATHS” (and ESTABLISH YOUR GOINGS)!!!
(Philip.4:6-9)
“BE CAREFUL ( FULL of CARE, ANXIOUS, FEARFUL (about) NOTHING; BUT … IN … EVERYTHING, by PRAYER and SUPPLICATION, … WITH … THANKSGIVING” (THANKSGIVING because you KNOW that GOD LOVES YOU and HEARS YOU and WILL ANSWER EVERY PROMISE YOU STAND UPON IN HIS WORD),” LET YOUR REQUESTS be made know unto God … AND” (WHEN You’ve DONE THIS),
“THE PEACE of GOD… which passes ALL Understanding, SHALL (KEEP/GUARD) Your HEART and MIND(both) – through CHRIST JESUS”.
In (vs
WE ARE COMMANDED” … THINK ON THINGS that are TRUE, HONEST and JUST; THINGS that are of a GOOD report, THINGS that are VIRTUOUS and PRAISE-WORTHY”;
CONVERSLEY, WE ARE NOT TO THINK (CONTINUALLY MEDITATE ON), on THINGS, … that DO NOT LINE UP with the WORD … ABOVE SCRIPTURE!
THIS … IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!
(II Cor.10:3-5)
We are COMMANDED, to … CAST DOWN, or to TAKE CAPTIVE, EVERY THOUGHT and IMAGINATION … that is NOT IN AGREEMENT with GOD’S WORD. (HIS WILL as stated in HIS WORD for OUR LIVES).
(ISA.26:32)
GOD PROMISES to KEEP HIM/HER, (YOU) in PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND …IS STAYED on HIM! (or … ON HIS WORD)
In (vs 9)
we are told : WHEN …‘ WE DO’, (the things listed in the above scriptures), … GOD’S PEACE … WILL BE WITH US!!!
(Jas.1:22) BE … DO’ERS … of the WORD… (IS… a COMMAND, NOT an OPTION)
We are also told: “LET, (ANOTHER COMMAND), the PEACE OF GOD … RULE, in our HEARTS,… and BE YE THANKFUL” (Therefore, IT’S UP TO US whether we LIVE a LIFE of PEACE, (even in the MIDST of the STORMS of LIFE)
(Mk.11:23 and Prov.18:21)
IT is VERY IMPORTANT to GAURD … WHAT WE SAY out of our MOUTHS, since the bible says, “WE GET WHAT WE SAY”
(IITim1:7) tells us: “GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US ‘the SPIRIT … of FEAR; but that HE HAS GIVEN US a SPIRIT … of POWER LOVE, and of a SOUND, (PEACEFUL, DISCIPLINED, & CALM) MIND”
(Eph.6:10-18) says: things in our lives that come to STEAL, KILL or DESTROY the GOOD THINGS, are NOT ACTUALLY from FLESH & BLOOD-( from other People/Human Beings, although they come THROUGH other human beings) NOR ARE THEY FROM GOD. In Truth, These KIND of THINGS actually originate within Satan’s spiritual forces of Darkness, – which YOU as a BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN, (Jn3:3; Rms.10:8-10) are NO LONGER subject to,… when you appropriate your COVENANT PROMISES! (Isa .54:17; Hosea 4:6; Deuteronomy 28: whole chapter & Gals.3:13,14 & 29)
(Acts 10:38; Jas.1:17) tells us: GOD is LOVE, & GOD is ONLY GOOD, and HE ONLY HAS GOOD & PERFECT GIFTS to GIVE YOU!!!
(Jn.10:10) tells us that it is SATAN, who is ALL BAD or EVIL. HE is POSSESSED WITH ALL that is WICKED, EVIL, and BAD!!! NO BAD, comes from GOD , … and … NO GOOD comes from Satan.
WE are COMMANDED … to “BE IMATATORS of … OUR HEAVENLY FATHER – GOD”
(HEBS. 12:14-15) re tells us to: FOLLOW PEACE…and HOLINESS,… “ we are to “BE WATCHFUL over OUR OWN selves” ,… so as not to be critical or unforgiving of OTHERS – lest WE BECOME BITTER!!!
WE MUST CHOOSE, DAILY … TO WALK … IN GOD’S LOVE toward OTHERS!
WHEN FACED WITH HOW TO ACT IN ANY GIVEN SITUATION OR CIRCUMSTANCE, or how to ACT toward any PERSON; If we’re really DESIRING to OBEY GOD’S COMMAND to… ‘IMITATE HIM (JESUS)’ ,… and thereby WALK like GOD, … ASK Yourself, … ‘WHAT WOULD JESUS DO’? – (WWJD)
THOUGH we’ve ALL FAILED so many times and IN so many ways,
My Prayer and Hope is :
that EACH of US, …from this point forward … throughout our lives, will CONSCIOUSLYCHOOSE … to ‘BE DOERS of the WORD’; … in the GOOD TIMES, … and IN the TOUGH TIMES, so that OTHERS WILL SEE, … OUR BEAUTIFUL GOD … WITHIN US, … through our ACTIONS and WORDS; and thereby GIVE GLORY to GOD!!!
that we will each have HIS AMAZING ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE.
and …that we will each make it a habit of GIVING THANKS to OUR FATHER … EVERY DAY, … that we may walk in the fullness of HIS LIFE, LOVE & WORD.
May GOD give you revelation and insight into the things you just read, and give you a LIFESTYLE FULL of HIS PEACE as you MEDITATE ON these THINGS and APPLY THEM.
I would like to extend thanks to all of you who are regularly partnering with us – through your prayers and financial gifts. If you are newly acquainted with our ministry, we welcome you to RECEIVE HIS WORD of GRACE, … and to join us with your prayers and financial gifts – as we endeavor to share the GOOD NEWS with the the World and the Church. Sincerely, Garth & Virginia Hickey
God’s Word says, “LIFE and DEATH … IS… IN the POWER of the TONGUE”(Prov.18:21).
NOT ONLY do OUR TONGUES, and THE WORDS WE SPEAK bring US … to LIFE or DEATH, but they also deliver LIFE or DEATH … to OUR FAMILIES, and to OUR RELATIONSHIPS with others.
IN IGNORANCE, …yet all TOO OFTEN …
PARENTS SOW SEEDS of DEATH instead of LIFE into their children.
MATES SPEAK DEATH … INSTEAD OF LIFE to one another; and …
MOST PEOPLE, … UNCONSCIOUSLY,… SPEAK DEATH OVER THEMSELVES and THEIR RELATIONSHIPS, …UNTIL THEY REAP A HARVEST of the SAME.
THIS CYCLE of DESTRUCTION IS ONLY BROKEN WHEN WE get OUR MINDS RENEWED WITH GOD’S WORD, and bring OUR TONGUE, … UNDER the CONTROL of the HOLY SPIRIT!
MOST PEOPLE, … either
(A) DON’T COMPREHEND this TRUTH about ‘THE POWER OF THE TONGUE’,
(B) DON’T BELIEVE IT, or
(C) “THEY KNEW IT … but … THEY LET IT SLIP AWAY”.
Someone once said “LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS”.
The Bible’s Book of James spoke of ‘the POWER of ‘the Tongue’, and likened it unto ‘the Rudder of a Ship’ in its ability to DIRECT or STEER ONE’S LIFE. We are told to … “Let ALL of OUR WORDS … BE SEASONED … with GRACE” (in speaking to others and to ourselves).
Brother Hagin Sr. often said, “The more you say, the more you have to repent of”.
The Bible says, “In the multitude of Words, their wanteth (lacketh) not SIN”.
We MUST LEARN that … ‘EVERY TIME WE SPEAK, … or SING – WORDS, WE ARE ‘CREATING LIFE’ or ‘CREATING DEATH’, even if WE DON’T REALIZE IT or BELIEVE IT.
According to God’s WORD, … WORDS are SEEDS or CONTAINERS.
‘EVERY TIME WE SPEAK’, … WE are PLANTING a CROP (WITH OUR TONGUE!!!).
WE MUST REALIZE, … that WHATEVER WE SPEAK ( or PLANT, … by vocalizing words) – ‘LIFE or DEATH’, … THAT and THAT ONLY … IS the HARVEST that WE WILL SOON BE REAPING!!! IT’S A SPIRITUAL LAW, (and NATURAL); the LAW of SOWING and REAPING!
Jesus said, “YOU SHALL HAVE … (EXACTLY) … WHAT…YOU SAY” (Mk.11:23)
Therefore, since ‘YOU HAVE’ THE POWER of LIFE and DEATH … in YOUR TONGUE (according to GOD’S WORD), IF YOU DESIRE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE and the lives of those around you, “GET IN AGREEMENT with GOD’S WISDOM (from HIS WORD – the BIBLE, … and SPEAK … or SING … the WORD ONLY!!!).
DISAGREEING WITH GOD IS IGNORANCE GONE TO SEED!!! AGREEING with GOD IS A VERY INTELLEGENT CHOICE! YOU are NEVER GOING to GET GOD’S BLESSINGS by DISAGREEING with HIS WORD!
BECOME, … a BELIEVER … and a DO’ER … of THE WORD (James 1:22 & Romans.4:17) and watch as YOUR LIFE and YOUR RELATIONSHIPS become BLESSED!
P.S.
This week, DETERMINE to LISTEN to WHAT YOU SPEAK or SING!
DETERMINE whether it is LIFE or DEATH that You are SOWING.
DETERMINE whether or not …’the WORDS’ …YOU are SAYING, … or SINGING,… and thereby SOWING, … are the correct SEEDS … for the CROP YOU REALLY WANT to HARVEST!
May God Bless You! Garth Hickey

Well My dear Brother and Sister, It’s been a while since our last words. I want to encourage you today!
Re: Paul said, … I BUFFET my BODY and KEEP IT UNDER, … and I have not yet attained, … and that we must CRUCIFY the FLESH and KEEP IT UNDER, … and CONSIDER OURSELVES DEAD to SIN, and ALIVE UNTO GOD!!! We’ve been told that we’re to JUDGE NOTHING … before the time; neitherare WE to COMPARE OURSELVES with one another, … as that is NOT WISE!
Always Remember, … WE MUST KEEP the WORD of the LORD … BEFORE OUR EYES, and … IN the MIDST of OUR HEARTS; … for IT ALONE … will GIVE US a TRUE PICTURE of WHO and WHAT WE NOW ARE, … IN CHRIST!
DO NOT FORGET, that … GOD LOVES YOU!!! YOU ARE HIS PRECIOUS CREATION and IF YOU are BORN-AGAIN, YOU ARE … HIS CHILD! THEREFORE, … STOP PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN!!! INSTEAD, … SPEAK WHAT HE SAYS about YOU!!! STOP LISTENING to the GARBAGE from EVERYONE and EVERYWHERE … OTHER Than HIS WORD!!! HIS WORD IS TRUTH!!!
REFUSE to EVEN LISTEN to … ANY THOUGHT or CONDEMNATION in YOUR OWN HEAD,… IF IT DOESN’T AGREE with … WHAT GOD says ABOUT YOU!!!
Get ahold of a copy of “Scripture Confessions” by Harrison House, or “Gods Creative Power” by Charles Capps and begin to Speak those Confessions OVER YOURSELF and your Circumstances;
FORGIVE YOURSELF, … and FORGET THOSE THINGS which are BEHIND and RISE UP, … and PRESS forward for the MARK of THE HIGH CALLING that YOU are Called to.
NOW THANKS BE unto GOD, WHO ALWAYS CAUSES US, (YOU) to TRIUMPH – IN CHRIST JESUS! … for YOU ARE GOD’S BEST; and … HE’S DEFINITELY NOT FINISHED WITH YOU YET!!!
BE ENCOURAGED and TELL the DEVIL WHERE to GET OFF!!!
Your Brother JESUS, … (if you’re SAVED) and I, … DEFINITELY BELIEVE – IN YOU, that, … the CHRIST IN YOU, is … MORE THAN ENOUGH, … to PUT YOU OVER!!!
SO RISE, and SHINE, and GIVE GOD the GLORY for THE VICTORY IS ALREADY WON!!!
BE … a DOER of the WORD!!! SPEAK the WORD, … ONLY!!!
Tell the DEVIL, and ALL of those DEMEANING VOICES (Outside and Inside your head), … to SHUT UP!
BELIEVE GOD, … and AGREE with WHAT HE SAY’S ABOUT YOU!!! For YOU ARE HIS BEST!!!
If you are Struggling with SIN, GET YOUR EYES ON HIS WORD, … RENOUNCE the SIN,… the Flesh, … and the DEVIL.
TURN and WALK (RUN) AWAY from ALL of it;
CRY OUT to GOD, … and GIVE HIM 100% of YOU; … and RECEIVE HIS 100% BACK!!!
RE: … ONLY SINNERS QUALIFY … to BE SAVED, HEALED, LOVED and DELIVERED… by GOD!!!
JESUS said that HE didn’t come FOR the WELL ones, … but for those who were SICK, and … OPPRESSED by the DEVIL, (Isa. 61 & Lk.4)
GOD … STILL … LOVES … YOU!!! ACCEPT HIS FORGIVENESS!!!
There is NONE RIGHTEOUS – NO NOT ONE!!! ONLY IN JESUS is there DELIVERANCE FROM WHAT AILS YOU! THERE IS NO ONE that is PERFECT – BUT JESUS!!!
And RE: The LAW KILLS, but the SPIRIT gives LIFE!!!
If you’ve REPENTED, … STOP ALREADY, STOP BELIEVING the LIES of the ENEMY, and START BELIEVING … WHAT GOD’S WORD DECLARES about YOU!!! (THIS IS, … the CONTINUAL FIGHT of FAITH!!!)
YOU ARE FORGIVEN, SO BELIEVE … WHAT GOD SAYS, … and LIVE!!!
Stop hangin with RELIGIOUS FOLK … who FORGIVE THEMSELVES READILY ENOUGH, but LOOK down their NOSES at YOU. JESUS Declares them a bunch of SNAKES, and WHITEWASHED TOMBS FULL of DEAD MEN’S BONES.
WHATEVER YOU ALLOW,… GOD WILL ALLOW (Mt.18:18-20)WHY NOT END the ABUSE!!! FORGIVE YOURSELF … and YOUR BROTHERS and SISTERS … SPEEDILY!!!
WALK IN LOVE and MERCY to YOURSELF and to OTHERS; after all, if we really want to disect one another, … or Ourselves,… ALL ANY of US ARE IS FILTHY RAGS!!!
SO JUST ACCEPT WHAT JESUS DID, … BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING that YOU can DO, … BUT THAT, … to be considered RIGHTEOUS before GOD! YOU are ALREADY FORGIVEN through the SHED BLOOD of JESUS at CALVARY!!! Aren’t YOU TIRED of trying to CREATE a RIGHTEOUSNESS of your Own, … that NEVER,… IS, … NOR WILL BE … GOOD ENOUGH?
JUST RECEIVE HIM as YOUR SAVIOR, … and LORD, … and ACCEPT HIS FORGIVENESS and SETTLE the MATTER, … ONCE and FOR ALL, …. that HE LOVES YOU, and that NOTHING YOU can EVER DO is going to CHANGE HIS LOVE for YOU!!! DARE to BELIEVE and SPEAK … WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOU!!! FOR THAT, … and THAT ALONE … IS … THE TRUTH!!!
Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

(I) BE CERTAIN,… THAT WHAT YOU’RE ASKING FOR,…IS GOD’S WILL!!!
BEFORE YOU CAN RECEIVE ‘ANYTHING’ from GOD,…YOU MUST ‘KNOW‘ , …beyond a shadow of a doubt, … that THE THING you are DESIRING …is within the framework of … ‘HIS WILL’ … for you. ( & HIS WILL IS HIS WORD’S OF PROMISE THROUGHOUT the BIBLE … to ALL BELIEVERS; …. for GOD … IS NO RESPECTOR of PERSONS!!!
(Hosea 4:6) MY PEOPLE are DESTROYED due to … a LACK of KNOWLEDGE!!!
Whether YOU or I like it or not, ‘WITHOUT THAT CERTAINTY‘, YOU WILL NOT HAVE the NECESSARY FAITH … to RECEIVE … the BENEFITS of SALVATION, nor for that matter PLEASE GOD.
(Hebs.11:6) “Without FAITH, it is IMPOSSIBLE to please HIM, for HE/SHE that comes to GOD MUST BELIEVE…that HE IS, and that HE IS A REWARDER of THOSE …WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM!”
So, … WHERE do we get the FAITH … that’s NEEDED … to RECEIVE the BENEFITS … that JESUS … has ALREADY PURCHASED … for us?
CAN WE PRAY for IT? Contrary to what one might think, the BIBLE tells us (Rms.1:16) … that … the FAITH of GOD … is RESIDENT in GOD’S WORD, and … that the WAY to OBTAIN IT … is… by HEARING …the WORD of GOD (Rms.10:17; Joshua 1:8; Prov.4:20-22).
*** Therefore WE MUST GO TO THE WORD (the Bible), and find two or three scriptures that we can stand on …EVERY TIME … we have a request, … that CONFIRMS that… the THING(s) that we’re ASKING FOR … IS … GOD’S WILL for US!
JESUS told us that … HIS WORD IS TRUTH (Jn.17:17) and that WHEN … WE KNOW THE TRUTH…IT shall MAKE US FREE (Jn.8:31-32)
(Mt.4:1-11) Jesus, our example, when he faced off with the devil, pulled out his mightiest offensive weapon – the Word of God (Hebs.4:12) … and said “IT IS WRITTEN…” every time the devil attacked him. If it was important for him, how much more important is it for us?
(I Jn.5:14-15)
“This is the confidence (the assurance), that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us, and if we know that He hears us, we know that we have the petitions we’ve desired of Him.
*** ACCORDING TO THIS SCRIPTURE (II Cor.13:1)
So … IF WE OPEN the BIBLE and find two or more scriptures that definitely PROMISE US the THING we’re requesting,…THEN… WE KNOW FOR SURE, … HE HEARS OUR PRAYER, … AND …since WE KNOW… that HE HEARS OUR PRAYER, … THEN … WE KNOW … that WE HAVE (present tense/right now – at that very moment) … the PETITION (the thing we’ve asked for, ,,, (BEFORE IT MANIFESTS)
(II) BELIEVE that YOU RECEIVE YOUR ANSWER …WHEN YOU PRAY (‘the MOMENT’ YOU PRAY) … ‘BEFORE YOU HAVE IT’ … BEFORE YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL EVIDENCE,… (besides GOD’S PROMISE) …as PROOF of IT!
(Mk.11:22-24) “Whatsoever THINGS …’YOU desire’, … WHEN YOU PRAY,.. BELIEVE ,… that YOU RECEIVE THEM, (the THINGS YOU’ve ASKED FOR)… AND … YOU SHALL HAVE THEM!!!”
“HAVE …THE GOD KIND of FAITH… ‘SPEAK, …TO THE MOUNTAIN’ (the Problem, the ’Rising up’)
*** YOU DO NOT NEED TO PRAY…a PRAYER of PETITION (A Prayer that ASKS for a specific need to be met) or for the same request…MORE THAN ONCE (in articulate speech).(This practice is neither scriptural, … nor of any effect).
IF YOU DO, …you are either IGNORANT of God’s Word concerning THIS KIND of PRAYER, … or you are STILL UNCERTAIN as to GOD’S WILL in the MATTER, still stuck in UNCERTAINTY, and you haven’t yet settled #1 above.
*** DO NOT PRAY, “IF IT BE THY WILL…” (unless you are seeking specific direction for your life; unrelated to whether its GOD’S WILL TO HEAL YOU or NOT, IT IS HIS WILL!!!
Once again, IF YOU DO, …you are DEMONSTRATING that YOU are either IGNORANT and haven’t done YOUR HOMEWORK (Step #1above) or … YOU ARE BELIEVING A DOCTRINE of DEVILS formulated, BY THE DEVIL HIMSELF, … to KEEP YOU from the POWER and BENEFITS… of ABSOLUTE FAITH …IN GOD’S PROMISES!!!
In F.F. Bosworths book, “CHRIST the HEALER”, he stated;‘MANY, instead of saying, … PRAY FOR ME, should first say, “TEACH ME …GOD’S WORD, so that I CAN … INTELLIGENTLY COOPERATE … for my…(ANSWER) … Recovery.
(III) DON’T SABOTAGE YOUR SUCCESS!!!
(Don’t FOCUS … on your problems, or the symptoms); (Jonah 2:8) says…”Those that OBSERVE (attend to, …look narrowly upon,… focus upon),… LYING (evil, false), … VANITIES (SYMPTOMS), (anything that leads one astray from the truth, something transitory, unsatisfactory), …FORSAKE … (relinquish)… THEIR OWN … MERCY” (Kindnesses, Benefits … including HEALING or DELIVERANCE … from GOD)
Contrast this with:
(Prov.4:20-22) “My Son, …ATTEND, … to MY WORDS, incline your ear unto … MY SAYINGS, LET THEM (MY WORDS),… NOT DEPART from THINE EYES, KEEP THEM … in the MIDST of THINE HEART, for THEY… (MY WORDS),… ARE LIFE … to THOSE that …FIND THEM, and …HEALTH to … ALL … THEIR FLESH”.
(Rms.4:19) Abraham knew that GOD was ABLE to DO…WHAT HE HAD PROMISED, Give HIM a SON even though HE was above 100 years of age), …regardless of his human ability to produce such, comprehend or accept it; so … HE REFUSED … to CONSIDER…HIS OWN BODY, and the DEADNESS …of SARAH‘S WOMB; (She ws also about 100 years old at the time but he didn’t focus on the impossibility); rather He focused on THE WORD… (GOD’S PROMISE to HIM) – EVEN AS YOU HAVE PROMISES that BELONG to YOU, … IF … YOU’RE A BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR and LORD, … THEN … YOU ‘MUST DO the SAME THING HE DID’ … IF YOU’RE GOING TO RECEIVE THE PROMISED RESULT THAT YOU ARE AFTER!!!
STUDY THE BIBLE, FIND the PROMISES; There’s OVER 1000 that BELONG to BELIEVERS!!
(II Cor.10:5) HE …“ cast down every thought, (image, imagination) that was contrary, not in agreement with the PROMISE(WORD) of GOD. & SO MUST YOU and I!!!
(IV) SPEAK ONLY…WHAT YOU’RE BELIEVING FOR
(Hebs.10:34-35) “Cast not away therefore YOUR CONFIDENCE’ (Gk. = YOUR CONFESSION, …‘WHAT YOU SAY’), which hath great recompence of reward; for YE have need of PATIENCE (patient continuance, endurance), … that AFTER YOU …HAVE …DONE the WILL of GOD,…YOU may (CAN),… RECEIVE…(the MANIFESTATION of) the said PROMISE.”
(Rms.4:17) GOD (is a GOD), …who“ CALLETH those THINGS which BE NOT… as though they WERE”
(Incidently, ,,, IT’S NOT A LIE, …IF GOD SPOKE IT; … HIS WORD IS THE TRUTH,
YOUR SYMPTOMS, PROBLEMS, ETC are ‘THE LYING VANITY or SYMPTOM’ that JESUS DIED to REDEEM YOU FROM!!! & THEY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, … but HIS WORD IS NOT!!!
WE’RE to IMITATE …OUR HEAVENLY FATHER’S FAITH
(Mk.11:22) Have FAITH IN GOD, (or… HAVE THE… ‘GOD KIND’…OF FAITH! ,,, BE MINDFUL…of WHAT YOU SAY; AGREE WITH GOD, NOT WITH YOUR PROBLEM, SICKNESS, ETC. YOU DON’T WANT TO UPROOT THE GOOD SEED (GOD’S PROMISE … that you are standing on),… but you want to WATER… the SEED… that’s been PLANTED, …IN YOUR HEART (SO WATCH WHAT YOU ARE CONFESSING WITH YOUR MOUTH)
(Rms. 10:8-10) “But what saith it, …THE WORD, … is NIGH (NEAR) THEE, …EVEN…IN THY MOUTH, …and IN THY HEART: …the WORD OF FAITH,… which WE PREACH (SPEAK) … that … IF … THOU SHALT…CONFESS …WITH THY MOUTH,…and …SHALT BELIEVE … IN THINE HEART …thou shalt be SAVED( and also receive any of the BENEFITS of SALVATION), which are MANY!!! For with THE HEART…MAN BELIEVETH unto…RIGHTEOUSNESS:…and with THE MOUTH…CONFESSION is MADE…unto SALVATION.)
(Prov. 4:23) GUARD…YOUR HEART, …for OUT of IT, …are the ISSUES (outgoings DELIVERANCE) of LIFE
(Prov. 23:7) For as He (or SHE) … THINKETH …IN HIS or HER HEART, … (not just in his or her head),… so he (or SHE) IS!!!
(WHAT DO YOU SEE, WHAT IS YOUR VISION OF YOU ??? – IF YOU DON”T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE, … CHANGE IT, … by MEDITATING … ON WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE, (in the EPISTLES … IN the NEW TESTAMENT). IF YOUR A BELIEVER, YOU’RE A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST. (II Cor 5:17)
To RECEIVE ANYTHING from GOD, it requires AGREEMENT between YOUR HEART…and YOUR MOUTH.
Notice again, … FAITH has to be, … IN YOUR HEART,… NOT just …IN YOUR HEAD; and it has to be SPOKEN ( VOCALIZED) … to PRODUCE the DESIRED RESULT
(Prov. 18:21) “DEATH and LIFE …are IN…the POWER of…THE TONGUE
So,…whatever you REALLY BELIEVE,…IN YOUR HEART,…and CONFESS (SAY), with YOUR MOUTH, …is what you are PRODUCING,…and HAVE PRODUCED TO THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE.
Those two things together … are YOUR FAITH … SPEAKING!
(Luke 6:45) “For… OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE of the HEART …the MOUTH SPEAKS! SO WATCH… WHAT YOU SAY,…FOR WHAT YOU SAY, …IS WHAT YOU GET
(V) GIVE GLORY TO GOD (HONOR, PRAISE and WORSHIP HIM)
Notice what Abraham, … YOUR ‘FAITH FOREFATHER’ DID, when HE was BELIEVING for GOD’S PROMISE to be FULLFILLED IN HIS LIFE, … and DO LIKEWISE!
(Rms.4:20) “HE staggered NOT at the PROMISE of GOD … through UNBELIEF; but was STRONG IN FAITH … GIVING GLORY to GOD,… and … BEING FULLY PERSUADED… that WHAT HE (GOD) had PROMISED,… HE (GOD)…was ABLE ALSO …TO PREFORM, and therefore…IT was IMPARTED TO HIM for RIGHTEOUSNESS”
When you think that YOUR PROMISE is taking to LONG TO MANIFEST, …CONSIDER ABRAHAM, …For from CONCEPTION to RECEPTION of HIS PROMISE,…it took TWENTY-FIVE YEARS; BUT HE GOT HIS PROMISED BLESSING, and SO CAN YOU … IF … YOU BELIEVE and SPEAK ONLY the DESIRED RESULT … AS IF ITS ALREADY SO!!!
BROTHER KENNETH HAGIN SR. told us on several occasions,…that HE HAD NEVER,… NOT RECEIVED THE ANWSER …TO ANYTHING THAT HE ASKED THE LORD FOR; although one time it took four years to MANIFEST!!! GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS; HE IS A RESPECTOR of … FAITH!!!
(Hebs.6:11-12) “BE FOLLOWERS of THOSE, …who THROUGH FAITH and PATIENCE …INHERIT THE PROMISES”
(Gals.6:9) “BE NOT WEARY ( don’t faint or DESPAIR), …in WELL DOING(IN DOING THE right thing), …for IN ‘DUE’ SEASON, …YOU ‘SHALL’ REAP (the harvest on your planted seed), …’IF’ YOU FAINT / DESPAIR… NOT!
YOU are IN A FIGHT!!! IT’S A FIGHT OVER … YOUR FAITH!!! ALTHOUGH FEW Want to FIGHT, THIS IS A ‘GOOD FIGHT’, because JESUS ALREADY WON IT … FOR YOU!!!
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY,,, is to STUDY the WORD of GOD, … BELIEVE IT… ACT ON IT’S PROMISES, and Thank HIM … that IT’S DONE, … BEFORE …YOU SEE IT MATERIALIZE;
THAT ACT OF FAITH, …YOUR FAITH, … PUTS A DEMAND ON GOD, …WHO WILL ALWAYS SEE TO IT,… that HIS WORD,… WON’T RETURN VOID, … but WILL ACCOMPLISH, …the THING that IT HAS PROMISED!!!
(I Thess.5:18) “IN EVERYTHINIG,…… (IN the MIDST of EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE, TRIAL, and etc. … GIVE THANKS UNTO GOD.; … (NOT NECESSARILY…FOR EVERYTHING; EVIL & BAD IS NOT FROM GOD;
GOD IS A GOOD GOD;.- there is NO SICKNESS , or LACK, or DEVESTATION… IN HEAVEN … for HIM to GIVE YOU
(Jn.10:10) SATAN, NOT GOD,… is the AUTHOR of ALL THAT’S BAD! Is the thing your dealing with GOOD or BAD; GOOD is FROM GOD,… BAD is NOT FROM GOD!!!
(II Chron. 20:1-25) Jehoshaphat FEARED and HE and the children of Israel set themselves,…to SEEK THE LORD,…WITH FASTING,…and GOD SHOWED UP and TOLD THEM, … DO NOT FEAR,…and HE TOLD THEM ‘THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS’,…YOU WON’T NEED TO FIGHT,…JUST STAND STILL,…SET YOURSELVES AND SEE THE SAVLATION OF LORD WITH YOU,…and GO OUT tomorrow against the enemy, … FOR I WILL BE WITH YOU,…And they went forth, … SINGING AND PRAISING THEIR GOD,…and The LORD SET AMBUSHMENTS AGAINST the ENEMY,…and they (THE enemy), DESTROYED EACH OTHER; …and the CHILDREN OF GOD,… were THREE DAYS,…IN GATHERING UP ALL THE SPOILS (That’s A PICTURE, … of what WE’RE SUPPOSSED TO DO!!!)
HUMBLING YOURSELF BEFORE GOD,…WITH FASTING,…PRAYER,…and PRAISE,…is ONE of the most POWERFUL WAYS to WORSHIP and GLORIFY the LORD (Ps.34:1)…HIS PRAISE,…SHALL CONTUALLY BE IN MY MOUTH,…
IT IS TIME TO GO UP and POSSESS YOUR PROMISED LAND, …and BE a HERO of FAITH IN YOUR GENERATION … THOUGH THERE ARE GIANTS IN THE LAND,…but THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEFEATED by OUR JESUS, …therefore, … FEAR NOT,… THEY WILL FALL BEFORE YOU, … AS …YOU OBEY, … THE SPIRIT OF GOD and HIS WORD!!!
So REJOICE,…and RUN TO THE BATTLE,…FOR THE LORD THY GOD IS WITH YOU!!!…And REMEMBER, “WITH GOD,… ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE,…TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE”, and … YOU CAN DO… ALL THINGS …THROUGH CHRIST …who STRENGTHENS you!!! (Phil.4:13)(Hebs.11)
KEEP YOUR EYES and THOUGHTS FIXED,…on GOD’S PROMISES, and … BELIEVE,…that WHAT ‘YOU SAY’ …WILL COME TO PASS, …and YOU WILL HAVE …WHATSOEVER …‘YOU SAY‘; ”YOU RECEIVE THEM, (right then- by faith), …AND YOU SHALL HAVE THEM”! (Mk.11:22,23)
DON’T FEAR!!! REFUSE TO FEAR!!! RESIST FEAR with ALL THAT’S IN YOU!!!
INSTEAD, …HAVE FAITH … IN GOD’S WORDS of PROMISE! TO DO THAT, YOU… MUST GET IN THE WORD & READ the NEW TESTAMENT and FIND the PROMISES that GOD PUT IN THERE which COVER YOUR SITUATION!!!
YOU MUST REALIZE: FEAR DRAWS THE BAD, … ALWAYS!!!
Job said … ” The THING which I GREATLY FEARED, … HAS COME UPON ME”!!! FEAR OPENS the DOOR to the DEVIL and HIS OPPRESSION.
BUT… the Bible says, that “Jesus went about DOING GOOD and HEALING … ALL who were OPPRESSED of THE DEVIL, for GOD (the Holy Soirit) was WITH HIM!”(Acts 10:38)
SO, … IT’S UP TO YOU; … NOT GOD!!!
HE’S ALREADY DONE ,…EVERYTHING HE’S GOING TO DO ABOUT the DEVIL, the Bible says that JESUS DEFEATED HIM and STRIPPED HIM of HIS AUTHORITY, …and BY HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD, … REDEEMED US, … and ALL of the BENEFITS YOU’RE NEEDING!
SO, YOU don’t have to DEFEAT THE DEVIL, …YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVEGOD, … and ACT ON HIS WORD!!!
ALL (GOOD) THINGS … ARE YOURS for the RECEIVING, … because JESUS … ALREADY … BOUGHT and PAID for THEM …with His DEATH, BURIAL and RESSURECTION; and BY HIS WORD, HIS NAME, and HIS BLOOD…THEY ARE YOURS TO RECEIVE … BY YOU … BELIEVING, … that GOD … MEANT WHAT HE SAID, and then ACTING LIKE IT’S SO!
(II TIM.2:15) Therefore, “STUDY“, (HIS WORD), … that YOU might KNOW … WHAT HE’S DONE for YOU, THEN, … ACT ON THE WORD; … ACT LIKE ITS SO!!! … that YOU MIGHT WALK and LIVE, … IN EVERY BENEFIT which HE PAID so dearly to RESTORE TO YOU (Psm.103:1-3)
Finally, TELL OTHERS …of HIS LOVE, and of HIS WONDERFUL SALVATION
framework of … ‘HIS WILL’ … for you.
(Hosea 4:6) MY PEOPLE are DESTROYED due to … a LACK of KNOWLEDGE!!!
Whether YOU or I like it or not, ‘WITHOUT THAT CERTAINTY‘, WE
WILL NOT HAVE the NECESSARY FAITH … to RECEIVE … the BENEFITS of
SALVATION, nor for that matter PLEASE GOD. (Hebs.11:6)
So, … WHERE do we get the FAITH that’s REQUIRED … to RECEIVE the
BENEFITS that JESUS has ALREADY PURCHASED for us?
CAN WE PRAY for IT?
Contrary to what one might think, the BIBLE tells us ( Rms.1:16)… that the FAITH
of GOD … is RESIDENT in GOD’S WORD, and that the WAY … to OBTAIN IT
is by HEARING …the WORD of GOD (Rms.10:17; Joshua 1:8; Prov.4:20-22).
*** Therefore I/WE NUST GO TO THE WORD (the Bible), and find two or three
scriptures that we can stand on …EVERY TIME … we have a request, … that
CONFIRMS that what we’re ASKING FOR … IS … GOD’S WILL for US!
JESUS told us that … HIS WORD IS TRUTH (Jn.17:17)
and that WHEN … WE KNOW THE TRUTH…IT shall MAKE US FREE
(Jn.8:31-32)
(Mt.4:1-11) Jesus, our example, when he faced off with the devil, pulled out his mightiest offensive weapon – the Word of God (Hebs.4:12)… and said “IT IS WRITTEN…” every time the devil attacked him. If it was important for him, how much more important is it for us?
(I Jn.5:14-15)
(1) So … IF WE OPEN the BIBLE and find two or more scriptures that definitely
PROMISE US the THING we’re requesting,
(2) THEN… WE KNOW FOR SURE, … HE HEARS OUR PRAYER
(3) AND …since WE KNOW… that HE HEARS OUR PRAYER
(4) WE KNOW … that WE HAVE (present tense/right now -at that moment) … the PETITION (the ANSWER)… we’ve Desired (ASKED) of Him!
IT!
(Mk.11:24) “Whatsoever THINGS YOU desire, WHEN YOU PRAY …BELIEVE that
“HAVE …THE GOD KIND of FAITH…
‘SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN’ (the Problem, the ’Rising up’)
*** DO NOT PRAY…a PRAYER of PETITION (A Prayer that ASKS for a specific
need to be met) for the same request…MORE THAN ONCE (in articulate speech).
(This practice is neither scriptural, nor of any effect).
IF YOU DO, you are either IGNORANT of God’s Word concerning THIS KIND of
PRAYER, or you are STILL UNCERTAIN as to GOD’S WILL in the MATTER,
stuck in UNCERTAINTY, and you haven’t yet settled #1 above.
*** DO NOT PRAY, “IF IT BE THY WILL…” or you are DEMONSTRATING that
YOU are either IGNORANT and haven’t done YOUR HOMEWORK (Step #1
above) or YOU ARE BELIEVING A DOCTRINE of DEVILS formulated to KEEP
YOU from the POWER and BENEFITS… of ABSOLUTE FAITH …IN GOD’S
PROMISES!!!
In F.F. Bosworths book, “CHRIST the HEALER”, he stated;
‘MANY, instead of saying, … PRAY FOR ME, should first say,

Contrast this with:

(Rms.4:17) GOD, …who“ CALLETH those THINGS which BE NOT… as though they WERE”
WE’RE to … IMITATE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER’S FAITH (Mk.11:22) Have FAITH IN GOD, = HAVE THE… ‘GOD KIND’…OF FAITH!
BE MINDFUL…of WHAT YOU SAY;

(Rms. 10:8-10) “But what saith it, THE WORD is NIGH (NEAR) THEE, …EVEN…IN THY MOUTH, …and IN THY HEART: …the WORD OF FAITH,… which WE PREACH (SPEAK)

When you think that YOUR PROMISE is taking to LONG TO MANIFEST, …CONSIDER
ABRAHAM,…For from CONCEPTION to RECEPTION of HIS PROMISE,…it took
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
BROTHER KENNETH HAGIN SR. told us on several occasions,…that HE HAD NEVER
NOT RECEIVED THE ANWSER TO ANYTHING THAT HE ASKED THE LORD FOR,
although one time it took four years to MANIFEST THE ANWSER
(Hebs.6:11-12)

(II Chron. 20:1-25) Jehoshaphat FEARED and HE and the children of Israel set themselves,…to SEEK THE LORD,…WITH FASTING,…and GOD SHOWED UP and TOLD THEM DO NOT FEAR,…and TOLD THEM THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS,…YOU WON’T NEED TO FIGHT,…JUST STAND STILL,…SET YOURSELVES AND SEE THE SAVLATION OF LORD WITH YOU,…and GO OUT tomorrow against the enemy FOR I WILL BE WITH YOU,…And they went forth SINGING AND PRAISING THEIR GOD,…and The LORD SET AMBUSHMENTS AGAINST the ENEMY,…and they DESTROYED EACH OTHER; …and the CHILDREN OF GOD,… were THREE DAYS,…IN GATHERING UP ALL THE SPOILS
HUMBLING YOURSELF BEFORE GOD,…WITH FASTING,…PRAYER,…and
PRAISE,…is ONE of the most POWERFUL WAYS to WORSHIP and GLORIFY the
LORD
IT IS TIME TO GO UP and POSSESS YOUR PROMISED LAND, …and BE a HERO of
FAITH IN YOUR GENERATION
THOUGH THERE ARE GIANTS IN THE LAND,…THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN
DEFEATED,…so FEAR NOT,… THEY WILL FALL BEFORE YOU AS YOU OBEY THE
SPIRIT OF GOD’S VOICE;
So REJOICE,…and RUN TO THE BATTLE,…FOR THE LORD THY GOD IS WITH
YOU!!!…
And REMEMBER,…WITH GOD,… ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE,…TO THOSE WHO
BELIEVE,…and YOU CAN DO… ALL THINGS …THROUGH
CHRIST …who STRENGTHENS (Phil.4:13)(Hebs.11)
KEEP YOUR EYES and THOUGHTS FIXED,… on GOD’S PROMISES,
and … BELIEVE,…that WHAT ‘YOU SAY’ …WILL COME TO
PASS, …and YOU WILL HAVE …WHATSOEVER …‘YOU SAY‘”
YOU RECEIVE THEM, (right then), …AND YOU SHALL HAVE THEM”!
(Mk.11:22,23)
“…in the mouth of two or three witnesses (or scriptures), let every word be
established
