You are special. You are not just an ordinary person. You have been chosen by God for a special purpose. God has made you a living stones. And the Spirit is building you into a spiritual house. You are being set aside by the Holy Spirit to become a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Your life is committed. You are given over wholly to God in all things. For the strength of God to fully come through you there must be a total surrender all every area of your life. So remember, in all you go through make a full surrender and all you need will be given to you. You must be God’s vessel in the earth. God will use you for His glory.

What’s going to see you through the storms of life?  What’s going to keep you when the attacks of the enemy come?  How are you going to make it when God allows you to be tried in the fire?  The word of God is the answer. There must be a fresh hunger in you for the word. You must study and meditate in the word day and night. This builds you. this strengthens you. this gives to you the mind of God about what you are going through. You will be strong against your enemy. In fact, You will find that the word will be your protection, your direction, your defense, your rock in a weary land, your well in a desert place, your friend at midnight, your comfort in the time of trouble, your joy when you are going through, your light in darkness, and so much more. Make up your mind that you are going to get the word in your heart. Then you will be able to stand and go through all that the enemy tries you with.

It is time to get your fight back. You were doing good until the enemy hit you hard. You were doing good until the attacks came from every side almost at the same time. Since that time you have lost your joy, your strength, and yes, even your will to fight back. It is time for you to get a grip, and hold on in prayer until your change come.  With the little strength you have right now, and the grace of God, and the Spirit of God operating in your life, you will see answers to your prayers. I understand when you say that you do not feel like praying anymore. Then hold on. Do not give up. The Holy Spirit in you will pray through you. Let Him have His way. Your job is to believe, have faith, and let the Spirit pray and then watch God work a miracle just for you. You ought to say to yourself, when God gives up, I’ll give up. When the Spirit stops praying I will stop praying. What are you saying? You are saying that you will prevail in prayer until …

The lessons we learn when walking with God are rather awe-inspiring. Those of us who are serious about being true servants of God, who are enrolled in the school of the Holy Spirit often go through some amazing experiences that teaches us about the greatness, the power, and the ability of God. If you have ever been tempered by God; if you have ever walked with Him; if you have ever put your body, soul, and spirit in his hands and followed Him, then you know the He can show you His immeasurable ways of dealing in your life. So much so that you have no doubt about what He can do. Then it is not strange to see Jesus led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. It is not strange to see Abraham taking Isaac to an altar of sacrifice. It is not strange to see Hebrew boys let down into a burning fiery furnace. It is not strange to see our Savior dieing on a cross. Why? Because they belong to God. And when you belong to God, He can do whatever he wants to do to your and in your life and with your life. They belong to God, and all who belong to God know that He will be responsible for your life and for all you commit unto Him. So you stay in the word so that you will know how to yield.

Proverbs 6:20 My Son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.  22 When thy goest, it (the word) shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.  23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is a light; Psa. 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple, 8 The statues of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. Think upon these. Meditate these and you will prosper in your way. Allow the Holy Spirit to build these words into you. You will have good success.

The word of God keeps you from the path of the destroyer and saves you from destruction; it will keep you from falling. Psa. 17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the words of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. Psa. 107:19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. 20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.  (God heals through His word – He sends His word and heals you.) Psa. 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. The word of God will cause you to prosper.  Jos. 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt mediate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

The word of God is what God uses to give new birth to those who believe on His Son. Also it gives growth to the believer. I Pe. 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and  abideth for ever. I Pe. 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow therby: The word of God is what gives you the nature of God. II Pe. 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. The word of God builds you up and gives you an inheritance among the saints. Acts 20:32 And now … I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and give to you an inheritance among them which are sanctified. The word of God is what the saints use to overcome the enemy. I John 2:14b I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. The word of God will keep you from perishing and make you wiser than your enemies.  Psa. 119:92 Unless the law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies.

The word of God is the ability of God to create; it is the ability of God in the earth to make things.  Psa. 34:6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. Heb. 11:3 Through faith we understand the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. The word of God is durable, it outlasts, it has been tried; it will stand forever. Psa. 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Isa. 40:8 The grass withereth, the flowers fadeth; but the word of God shall stand forever.

Do not let the Devil get you caught up on what you are going through; your failures, sins, mistake, problems, trials and temptations. Your focus is on God and what He has done through His Son Jesus the Christ. You must believe that Christ victory over evil, sin and the devil was your victory too. You must live in this reality everyday and walk by faith and not by sight. This has nothing to do with your weaknesses but God’s strength. It has nothing to do with your failures but God’s mercy and grace. It has all to do with what God has done for you in Jesus Christ according to His word.

The Devil will tell you that you are too sick to live. He will tell you that you are such a failure. He will tell you that you have lost. But go to God and see what God tells you. Then believe, have faith in what God tells you. The devil’s word will come to naught but God’s Word will always…always…always come to pass.  The devil words will die. All you have to do is keep the faith. The key to all you go through is this, you are not the issue. The Devil wants you to focus on yourself. But you are not the issue!!! God has not put you in the earth to win battles. The battle has already been won. Jesus paid it all and on Calvary won all the victories that you will need in this earth.
