Abba Father, You're pleased to appoint unto our sister in Christ, a garland of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for sorrow, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that she may be called a tree of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that He may be glorified. Isaiah 61:3
People might say, "Well, you never know what God is going to do."
I'll tell you what He's going to do: He's going to help His people, this means you dear sister in Christ. He's going to build a Church that the gates of hell shall not, cannot, will not prevail against. Matthew 16:18
Jesus is telling us, "If you will let Me build you, I'll make you so strong, you won't fear the gates of hell. You will be built by God. And when the enemy attacks you, hell can't overcome you, because when I build something, I build it right."
Jesus said: "And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind [or disallow] on earth shall be bound [or disallowed] in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose [or allow] on earth, shall be loosed [or allowed] in heaven." Matthew 16:19
Do you know how to bind? Do you know you use your lips, and God's Word, to bind?
Jesus said, "I'm giving you the keys that release the Kingdom of God and its invading force in the earth - and those keys I'm putting in your mouth. You bind and say No, and it's so. You loose it and say Yes, and it's so."
You can find all the laws for binding and loosing in the Word of God, and you can also find the faith needed to do it Correctly by hearing the Word of God.
If someone hears an unbelieving minister say from the pulpit, "Some of you are going to have a heart attack, because sometimes it's God's will that you have a heart attack" that person is not going to have the right kind of faith to stand against such a lie from the devil.
But not everyone falls for such words of unbelief, and these are the winners like you, my dear sister in Christ, and like me. who are coming on the scene.
Jesus said, "Be careful what you hear. Don't give everything a hearing ear." Sometimes you can't keep from hearing certain things, but that doesn't mean you have to give them "a hearing ear." This means, don't get too impressed when the devil is talking pessimism, skepticism, and all those other things he likes to peddle. Don't say politely, "Oh is that so?"
The devil will try to attach into you bad habits, diseases, sicknesses, poverty of spirits, and anything else he can from evil information. evil reports, evil foreboding, anything leading to wrong thinking, which can lead to despair, hopeless, less faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, increasing faith in the lies of the enemy of God. God's words bring faith!
Righteous Father in heaven, Your name is Holy and True. Teach us, develop within us the works of God to be made manifest in us and others too, we must do the works of Him that send us." Amen
What was Jesus talking about? The opening of blinded eyes was the work of God. The working of miracles was the work of God. We may be in an evil day, but we don't have to live there for the rest of our life. You may be in a time of need, dear sister, but it's not going to continue like that for the rest of your life. You may be encountering affliction or resistance, but the Lord will deliver you out of all those situations. Set Free by God's Truth in God's Word.
However, know that you must Never pray like this: "Well God, You know I'm a nobody, and in all the humility I can muster, I just want You to know that I understand that You don't have to answer my prayer. But if You see fit to intervene, here I am."
God says, "I'm not even listening, if you're taking that attitude." The Truth Is, Beloved Sister, You Are a Somebody. Jesus redeemed you! He bought all of us nobodies back and began to work on us to transform us into His image.
It's up to you to decide whether or not you want Him to answer you. It's up to you, in the way you approach Him. If you don't believe in Him, most likely He won't answer you. If you don't believe He will answer you, He probably won't.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your works, and Glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16
What is the light? The light is the Word of God, because "The entrance of thy words giveth light." Psalms 119:130
Amen and Amen
