Why is it that we, as humans, get upset first, and then look for the solution to our problems? Wouldn’t it be wiser to go to the solution and then rest in that? The answer, of course, is yes!

So, where are these “solutions” that we have available to us? You guessed it – God’s Word! Why would our heavenly Father, Who loves us with an everlasting love, expect us to go through this life on planet earth, left to our own devices and solutions? He wouldn’t and He hasn’t. Everything we’ll ever need to be successful and victorious has already been provided for us.

Yes, God has so graciously provided for our every need in His Word. That’s His part. Our part is to receive that Word and walk in it. Let me give you a few examples:

For our sins, He bore them on the Cross.

1 Peter 2:24 (KJV) 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

For sickness, He has already healed us by the stripes of Jesus.

Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24b (KJV) 24 … by whose stripes ye were healed.

Mark 16:18 (KJV) 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

For poverty, Jesus became poor so that we might become rich.

2 Corinthians 8:9 (KJV) 9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

Psalm 84:11 (KJV) 11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV) 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Mark 11:23-24 (KJV) 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Philippians 4:19 (KJV) 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

For deliverance, He has given us His Name so that we can resist the devil and he will flee.

James 4:7 (KJV) 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Philippians 2:9-10 (KJV) 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

John 14:13-14 (KJV) 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. [The word ask means demand. We demand the devil to leave in the Name of Jesus.]

For spiritual death, He has given us eternal life through the Lord Jesus.

John 3:3 (KJV) 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 1:12 (KJV) 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

We have the Blood of Jesus, the Name of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the whole armor of God, and the angels. Plus all of Heaven backs us when we stand on the Word of God in faith and declare His truth over every situation.

Hebrews 13:5b (KJV) 5 … I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Numbers 23:19 (KJV) 19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

James 3:6-8 (KJV) ⁶  And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
⁷  For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
⁸  But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

It seems that everywhere you look, someone is talking – either on their cell phones, emails, or social media! It’s as if that’s all anyone does nowadays – talk, talk, talk!

Proverbs says that in the multitude of words is sin. That’s because if you’re always talking, how can you be thinking about what you’re saying or even listening to the other person?

Proverbs 10:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

How many times have you just blurted out something that you wish you hadn’t? But worse than that is that you can’t unsay it! Unguarded, unrestrained talk – loose lips – can do a lot of damage. And even though we ask forgiveness for saying things we’re ashamed of, we can’t undo what has already been said. Wrong words can really hurt. That’s why it behooves us to guard our lips!

God has a lot to say about the words of our mouths and keeping our tongue in check. In the above scripture, we see that no one can tame the tongue by natural means. But with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can get our tongues under control by yielding to Him.

Psalm 141:3 (KJV) ³  Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

We need to use our words to bless and not curse. Speaking evil is really cursing. It’s not just curse words that are evil; gossiping, backbiting, tale-bearing, making promises, and exaggerating are also evil. We need to speak the truth in love and lift up and edify each other.

One of the ways to keep our tongues in check is to think before we speak and not be talking all the time. We talk way too much! Just maybe, the other person has something to say! What a thought!

1 Peter 4:8b (KJV) ⁸  … for charity [love] shall cover the multitude of sins.

James 1:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath…

Speak words of kindness and watch how people react!

 — Pamela

We’ve all heard it, “Watch your mouth!” Usually, it’s an older person admonishing a younger person. But, God also tells us to watch our mouths by telling us to guard our hearts because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

What He’s saying is that if it’s in your heart, it will eventually come out. That’s why it’s so very important that we sow the right things into our hearts – the Word of God. Then when we open our mouths, the Word will come out! And that’s what we want.

By our words we’re justified and by our words we’re condemned. In other words, what we say is what we’ll get, be it good or bad.

We communicate with words. That’s the basic way we communicate. We make contracts with words, express our love with words, confer blessings with words. But, not so with God. He uses words to create! He’s the Creator. His Words create: stars, galaxies, planet earth and everything in it – the whole universe. So, how does that affect us?

When we speak God’s Words in faith, they are just as creative as when He spoke them. We can create change by speaking God’s Words in faith. Change will happen.

We spoke God’s Words when we got born-again – the greatest miracle we’ve ever experienced – being born-again from death to life! Well, on the same note, when we speak God’s Words in faith into the circumstances, a change occurs and miracles happen because every Word of God has enough power in it to cause it to come to pass. No Word of God is void of power  – not now, not ever!

Keep speaking God’s Word in faith and watch His creative power flow and cause manifestation!

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) ²³  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Matthew 12:34b-35 (KJV) ³⁴  … for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
³⁵  A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Matthew 12:37 (KJV) ³⁷  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

There’s a lot of talk these days about “fake news” and things being purported as true but are actually false and totally made up.

Today three journalist actually got caught in a fake news story and resigned from a national news network – CNN. We shouldn’t be surprise because God’s Word says that their sin will be exposed and things that are hidden will come out!

Numbers 32:23b (KJV) ²³  … and be sure your sin will find you out.
Luke 12:2 (KJV) ²  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Our president, Donald J. Trump, is doing his utmost to protect and help this country get going in the right direction and is faced with constant opposition! That ought not to be! [The fake news stories are against our president.]

So, moving right along, just as we don’t want to be fed fake news, we also don’t want to be guilty of having fake faith! What? Fake faith? What on earth is that? Read on.

Fake faith is faith that doesn’t work – faith that appears to be genuine: it sounds like real faith and even looks like real faith, but produces no results.  It’s like the saying, “Is it live or is it Memorex?”

Here’s the problem: When results don’t come, it destroys any true faith that was even there at the start. It discourages those involved and causes them to think that God’s Word doesn’t work and even that God has let them down. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

First of all, God’s Word always works and God never lets anyone down who’s moving in genuine faith. God is faithful, faithful, faithful!

So, just what is fake faith? It’s faith that comes out of your head – called mental assent. You believe the Word with your head but it hasn’t gotten into your heart where it can take root and produce results with power.

What “imitation” faith does is imitate those who are genuinely walking in faith. They try to pray and speak forth the same way as the real “faithers” but they don’t get the same results.

Another example of fake faith is when someone tries to believe out beyond their level of developed faith. Instead of just admitting they don’t have enough developed faith for a certain areas of belief, they just go ahead and start confessing way beyond their actual faith: instead of believing for $500 extra income, why not believe for $5000! They don’t have the faith for $5000 but they go ahead and “try to believe” for it. Then when it doesn’t happen, they get discouraged.

True faith takes time to develop. It takes study and meditation in God’s Word to get it from your head to your heart where it can take root and develop into strong faith. Then when you pray, it comes froth with power – the dunamis power of God!

We don’t need more faith. We all start out with the same lump. It just needs to be developed. We need to consistently study and meditate God’s Word to develop our faith so we get our desired results every time.

Romans 12:3b (KJV) ³   … according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

[See author’s book, “Faith 101”.]

How many times have you been tempted to quit or give up on what you were believing for because it was taking too long for the results? Unfortunately, too many of us have done that and never attained our desired results.

Years ago, I heard a man of God give a testimony of just that – not giving up just because your answer didn’t come in your time frame. He said that he was getting weary from the “long” wait and was tempted to just quit and go on to something else. However, the Lord spoke to him and asked him how he would feel if in one hour things would have changed if he hadn’t quit? Well, needless to say, he didn’t quit and went on to get his desired results.

Over the years, I have spoken that word to myself and others and have been so grateful that I didn’t quit because my answer eventually came. BUT, had I listened to my flesh and given up because of weariness, I would have missed the glorious victory of answered prayer!

God tells us not to get weary and not to give up but to fight the good fight of faith. Faith is what overcomes the world and all the attacks of the enemy. If Satan can steal your faith, he’s got you right where he wants and you won’t get your answers.

God is faithful and when we pray in faith according to His Word, He hears and answers us. We need to exercise patience in our “waiting” period and let God do a perfect work in us.

1 John 5:4 (KJV) ⁴  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Galatians 6:9 (KJV) ⁹  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Proverbs 16:3 (AMP) ³  Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.

1 Timothy 6:12 (KJV) ¹²  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) ¹⁴  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: ¹⁵  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Psalm 121:3-4 (KJV) ³  He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. ⁴  Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

God doesn’t sleep or get weary. He’s always on the case. You can count on it!

Some people don’t need their enemies to beat them up because they do a good job of it themselves. How many times have we punished ourselves mentally because of our past mistakes? Too many, I’d say.

First of all, when we get born-again, all of our past is forgiven – wiped cleaned. Our sins are remitted which means that they are forever gone and forgotten by God.

Psalm 103:12 (KJV) ¹²  As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Secondly, when we sin after we’re born-again, we confess our sins and God is just and righteous to forgive us by the Blood of Jesus.

1 John 1:7 (KJV) ⁷  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

1 John 1:9 (KJV) ⁹  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
So, what’s our problem? It’s the devil who condemns us and tries to keep our past mistakes in the forefront of our minds. We need to recognize that it’s him and not blame God. God is not the One Who is telling us we’re so unworthy and such a failure. God is on our side and He’s rooting for us! We are His special treasure!  

Malachi 3:17 (KJV)
¹⁷  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. [Margin says special treasure.]
Malachi 3:17 (AMP)
¹⁷  And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.

There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, the born-again ones. God doesn’t condemn you and He’s the One Who counts!

Romans 8:1 (KJV) ¹  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:1 (AMP) ¹  THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.

If you continue to let your past condemn you, you will hinder the plans and purposes God has for you. Everyone makes mistakes and misses it. You can’t live on planet earth without missing the goal sometime or other. The point is that you must confess the mistake, forgive yourself, and get back up and go forward. Why listen to the devil when he’s a liar and is out to steal, kill, and destroy? Jesus came to give you abundant life to enjoy. Enjoy it!

Proverbs 24:16a (KJV) ¹⁶  For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again … 

John 10:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

— Pamela

Acts 27:40 (KJV) ⁴⁰  And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

There’s a saying in the world about not putting off ‘til tomorrow what you can do today. In other words, don’t procrastinate! How many times have we been guilty of procrastinating?

Imagine what we could get done if we didn’t procrastinate! Some things are insignificant but others are a matter of life and death. Sometimes it’s the anchors in our lives that hold us back. Things that weigh us down, keeping us from fulfilling the plans and purposes the Lord has for us. We need to get rid of the anchors and commit ourselves to getting the job done.

Salvation is one of those life and death things that we cannot procrastinate about. We have to make a decision for the Lord or we’re headed for destruction.

So, just what are these anchors and weights that weigh us down and hinder our walk with the Lord?

Luke 21:34 (KJV) ³⁴  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
Hebrews 12:1 (KJV) ¹  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Surfeiting refers to overindulgence. It doesn’t necessarily mean evil, sinful things. It can mean spending too much time and energy on things that distract us from what we’re to be doing. For example: too much time on hobbies, sports, TV, etc. Excessive time spent on these things interferes with our time with the Lord.

Weights refers to similar things as surfeiting but can also include wrong attitudes and actions. These are things that weigh us down like a heavy load on our shoulders.

Sins are self-explanatory, doing things we shouldn’t be doing but also not doing the things we should be doing.

James 4:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

The cares of this life refer to things in our everyday life that seem to burden us with worry and care. We need to trust the Lord to help us and roll that care onto Him. We were never meant to carry the “weight” of the world on our shoulders!

Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) ⁵  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
⁶  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 16:3 (AMP) ³  Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.

So you see, there are a multitude of things that can hold us down and hinder our walk with the Lord. We need to de-clutter our lives so that we can have time to spend with Him. How else are we going to hear from Him if we’re so busy, busy, busy with the cares of this life? Actually, if we’d spend more time listening to the Holy Spirit’s leading and direction, we’d be so much better off and avoid a lot of heartache.

Purpose in your heart to de-clutter and spend quality time with your Lord and Savior, listening to the Holy Spirit’s leading and revelation and live the victorious life God has planned for you.

If you’ve been a Christian for any length of time, you know that God commands us to “love one another” as Jesus loves us. But how do we do that when so many people are so “unlovable”? We can’t do it in our natural flesh, as many try to do and fail. We need God’s empowerment to love the way He wants us to – to love with His love! Wow—that’s a mouthful!

John 13:34 (KJV) ³⁴  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

John 13:35 (KJV) ³⁵  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

The first thing we need to understand is that God’s love and human love are not the same thing. Human love is carnal, fleshy, sense ruled, touchy-feely, and changes at the drop of a hat! What we feel is what we do.

God’s love is not that way. He loves us the same way He loves Jesus. And He expects us to love others with the same love – His love.

John 17:23 (KJV) ²³  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

God would never, and I mean never, command us to do something we are incapable of doing. We can love the way He wants us to because His love has already been shed abroad in our hearts. 

Romans 5:5b (KJV) ⁵  … because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Let’s look at the great love chapter and find out what the God-kind of love is:

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (KJV) [Charity means love in this passage. It indicates a giving kind of love.]
⁴  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
⁵  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
⁶  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
⁷  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
⁸  Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
 

Now let’s look at the Amplified Bible rendition, which gives us a bit more insight:

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (AMP) ⁴  Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
⁵  It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
⁶  It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
⁷  Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].
⁸  Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

From these passages, we see that love has nothing to do with “touchy, feely” love. It has to do with how we act and how we treat others. We’re to be patient, kind, forgiving, merciful, rejoicing in others’ accomplishments, not envious or jealous. And not gossiping about each other! In other words, we’re looking out for the other person. And if everyone did that, we’d all be looking to bless one another and getting along. What a way to live!

Feelings come and feelings go, but how significant are they? Do they really matter? Or should I ask, “Should they really matter to us?”

First of all, we all have feelings. That’s the way human beings are. But feelings are not the do-all, end-all of everything as some might think. Yes, they’re real and yes they seem to over-power us at times, but what should we do about them and how much credence should we give them? These are important questions and I will attempt to address them in light of God’s Word because His Word is our benchmark for all we do, right?

Let’s begin with the fact that we are tri-partite beings, made up of three parts: spirit, soul, and body. We are actually spirit beings, we have a soul – our mind, will, and emotions – and we live in a body – our “earth suit”.

Feelings are considered our flesh, our carnal selves. They are not spiritual and can never be spiritual. That’s what makes them so dangerous because they seem so real, yet have little, if any, bearing on reality. God’s Word is the true reality.

Feelings can be controlled and even taught to do the right thing, but they can never be depended upon to lead you spiritually. They are fickle, changing at the “drop of a hat”, and can scream louder than anyone cares to hear!

Hebrews 5:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 5:14 (AMP) ¹⁴  But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.

Even our minds can be renewed to the Word of God to do what He tells us. In fact, we must renew our minds if we’re going to grow in the Lord. We need our minds siding in with our spirits so that our flesh (feelings) just naturally goes along with doing the right thing.

Romans 12:2 (KJV) ²  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ephesians 4:23 (KJV) ²³  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

On the other hand, if our mind is not renewed to the Word of God and His way of doing things, it will naturally side in with our flesh and two against one means our spirit will take a back seat. This is not a good thing.

So, what do we do? We cannot let our feelings lead us. Feelings are not the engine but the caboose. They will go along with whatever we choose to do by following the Word of God. Too many times, people let their feelings rule them, not knowing that they’re really playing right into the hands of the enemy.

God says that the carnal mind (the flesh) is enmity against God. When you’re in the flesh, you’re being led by your feelings. When you’re in the spirit, you’re being led by your spirit, not your flesh.

Romans 8:6-8 (KJV) ⁶  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
⁷  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
⁸  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:6-8 (AMP) ⁶  Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever].
⁷  [That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God’s Law; indeed it cannot.
⁸  So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him.

Feelings can never be counted on to do the right thing. Have you noticed that when you’re being attacked by the enemy, it always “feels” like it will never get better? That’s your head talking. But in your heart – your spirit – you know that God’s Word always works and that His Word has never failed – not one time! Keep standing on the Word and you will come through.

 1 Kings 8:56b (KJV) ⁵⁶  …  there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

We need to be extra cautious that we don’t judge God by our feelings. Many have made that mistake and ended up shipwrecked. God’s Word always has to be the final authority for all we think and do. He is faithful, faithful, faithful and always will be. Let’s renew our minds to His Word and walk in the victory Jesus bought for us.

Matthew 15:13 (KJV) ¹³  But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

Have you ever experienced driving on a flat tire? It’s not easy and feels so-o-o uncomfortable. Or, have you ever had a cut and put a bandaid on it to keep it clean? The bandaid doesn’t actually heal, but just keeps the cut clean. I think everyone knows what I’m talking about even if you never had a flat tire.

The point I want to make is the cut needs to be attended to and the flat needs to be fixed. Yes, you can drive with a flat tire, but it will hinder your journey and possibly damage your car. I think I’ve made my point.

But, just as flat tires are not effective in driving, so it is with obstacles and hindrances in our lives that hinder us from accomplishing what the Lord has for us. Bandaiding the problem does not solve it. You have to get at the root: dig it out and receive your healing.

Another example is when you dig dandelions or other unwanted weeds. If you just pull them out they’ll grow back. You have to dig out the roots if you want to get rid of the weeds. That’s how it is with issues in life. You have to attack the root cause and dig it out in order to be free.  And as I’ve said, bandaiding the problem won’t work for the long  term.

Let’s be more specific. If you’ve been praying about the promises of God and haven’t seen much success, what do you do? You need to seek the Lord about the hold-up. His promises are always YES. So, why aren’t you seeing the manifestation of the promises? There’s something clogging your pipeline and you need to get rid of it in order to free up the promise to get through to you. It’s not God withholding. It’s something blocking it.

Many times the problem is STRIFE! Strife is a promise killer and will even destroy you and those around you if you let it. Not only that, strife is a faith killer and without faith, you can’t connect to God and His promises. You can’t bandaid the strife and expect godly results. It won’t work. it takes major surgery!

So, what do you do? Repent of the strife, resist it in the Name of Jesus, and root it out of your life. Stand on the promise that what God has not planted shall be rooted out (Matt. 15:13). Take your stand, keep enforcing strife’s defeat, and watch the promises come to pass in your life. 

2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) ²⁰  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) ⁶  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

James 3:16 (KJV)
¹⁶  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Romans 12:18 (KJV)
¹⁸  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
