Are You Where You Want to Be Spiritually?

Are you where you want to be spiritually? We are coming to the end of this 21 Day Daniel Fast, and our purpose for this fast was to revive our spirit-being, to refresh our personal relationship with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to examine our spiritual condition so that we can make the necessary adjustments to overcome the wiles of the enemy.

Let’s review the key points that we touched upon these past twenty-one days.

Do I still love my Savior, Jesus? Or am I living the lifestyle while forsaking the most important relationship one can ever have? If I have allowed my relationship with the Lord to become dull, what am I going to do about it?

We see that difficult times are upon us, and that persecution against us is ramping up. And many fear what might happen, and others question if they have what it takes to endure persecution. Let’s examine our hearts and ask ourselves the hard question, “Can I endure these difficult times?”  Are we willing to strengthen our faith while others hate us, and even attempt to do us harm?

We looked at our place of worship. We were encouraged to ask ourselves, “Is my place of worship in right standing with Jesus?” “Does my place of worship lift up Jesus as the true God? Do they encourage the people to be born-again? Do they teach the Word of God? Or do they promote tolerance of evil? Have they become more concerned about being politically correct, than teaching people to be free from their sin?” If your place of worship does not teach the truth, “What did you do about it?”

We discussed the dangers of putting up with a Jezebel spirit and were encouraged to ask ourselves the following questions. “Am I struggling to repent from ungodliness?” “Do I tolerate and permit the controlling Jezebel spirit to have its way within my home, church, or office?” If I have done so in the past, “What am I going to do about it today?”

Do our thoughts, words, and daily actions line up with God’s requirements for eternal life in heaven? Do we believe in our hearts, and confess with our words, “I believe, Jesus is Lord.”?

We looked at how God judges good works and were encouraged to examine our motives. “Why am I doing what I do?” And “Who receives the glory for what I do?”

We gave thought to our spiritual temperature. And were asked to admit if we were spiritually lukewarm, cold or hot? And if we did not like our temperature, were we willing to adjust the thermostat?

We were encouraged to listen to the words we speak, as they have the prophetic power to release life or death into the situation. I would think that most of us would be a bit convicted on this point, but did we make the adjustments necessary to transform our lives? Did we take time to repent for the misuse of our words? Did we make a conscious decision to listen to what we say, before we speak? Have we asked Holy Spirit for His help to learn to speak His language of faith and prophesy death to the works of satan, and the life of God into our needs?

When it comes to the power of truth, do we seek real truth, Jesus and His Holy Word? Or have we decided to stay stuck in the lies given to us from this world? To walk in the power of truth is a decision, but this decision sets us free.

We looked at the need for us to hit the “Reset” button of our faith, to start over, speak words of faith over ourselves, and activate our faith.

We were refreshed with a prophetic word from the Lord, “Dead bones must rise again!” And received His word of encouragement to “Shake off the sleep and the slumber. Press toward the mark of our high calling. Unleash the resurrection power of My Spirit within you. No longer be timid and shy. You have entered into a time when there is no turning back for My Beloved–My Church.”

All in all, this has been a blessed time during this 21-day Daniel Fast. Our purpose of this time of spiritual reflection is not to judge others, but our own hearts. As our purpose is to revive our spirit-being, to refresh our personal relationship with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to examine our spiritual condition so that we can make the necessary adjustments to overcome the wiles of the enemy. And this is not the easiest thing to do, but it is necessary to be where we want to be spiritually. And I believe it has accomplished much to identify where we are spiritually. And if we do not like where we are in certain areas, we have the tools to make the necessary changes to move forward during this turbulent year, and in these last days.

Dead Bones Must Rise Again Prophetic Word

The Spirit of the Living God would say to you this day,

Dead bones must rise again! Shake off the sleep and the slumber. Press toward the mark of our high calling. Unleash the resurrection power of My Spirit within you. No longer be timid and shy. You have entered into a time when there is no turning back for My Beloved–My Church.

I have empowered you for this time, this day, and for this moment. No longer will you remain silent as the world passes away. I have given you a voice; it is time to lift it up and use it for My glory.

Reject the lukewarm waters that are trying to consume you. Refresh yourself with the coolness of My Spirit. And as you quickly refresh, for the time is ever so short, allow the Living Water within you to heat up until it boils over to all those around you. You have no time to lap in the vomit of passiveness.

That same Spirit that raised Me, the Living Christ, from the dead lives within you and is warming up the dead bones–and as you surrender to this life-giving power of Mine, those dead bones will come back to life again.

I am the One whom you want to reach out and touch. And as you do–I will be there to meet you with all power in this last hour. It is time for My people who are called by My name to rise up in the power of My might.

And what is my name? I Am the Great I Am. I Am the Messiah–the One True Savior of this world. I bled and died for you, because of My great passion for you. You are created in My image, and I am passionate about My Father. And I am passionate for My Beloved Bride–the Church. And you are created to be passionate about Me and My Father.

Although the attacks are strong, My Spirit within you is even stronger. Rise up! Leave that fear behind you. Take courage in knowing that you do not fight this battle alone, for I fight for you. This battle belongs to Me, and you are My mighty warrior destined to conquer, not be conquered.

I call forth the dead bones within the Body to rise up with My power as your strength. I call forth a refreshing to the new person within you. I command you to forsake the past, no longer look back with longing for what once was, but stand for hope of My soon return.

Be not afraid in these last days but be strong and courageous. Know that your faith is your shield. And My Word is your sword. The end is predetermined–and you are created to win.

All creation is ready, and the heavens and the earth are beckoning Me to raise up the Church in this great hour. I have created you to release My power among the lost inhabitants of this earth. For it is passing away, and it must for My new Heaven and the new earth to manifest. Release the kingdom of God on this earth. it’s time; position yourself with My Spirit.

All hell is about to break out. You think, “It’s time to run and hide.” And I say, “No! it’s not time to run and hide–it’s time for My Beloved Bride–My Church to allow My resurrection power of life to cause those dead bones to arise.”

Surrender your spirit, soul, and body onto Me–allow Me to fight through you.”

Thus says the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.

*This excerpt is a prophetic word taken from, The Waves of Healing Glory, Chapter 11, The Church is Breaking Out!”, Pages 251-253.

Hit the “Reset” Button of Your Faith

Today is day 16 of this 21 Day Daniel Fast, and I know that many of you are believing, or learning to believe for a manifestation of your supernatural healing from Jesus. I feel led of the Spirit to share with you a real live situation that I received earlier today on my prayer request page. And I am sharing it with you because many of you are going through similar situations. And I want to help you heal, and I believe it is time for some of you to hit the “Reset” button of your faith.

A woman writes, “My test results from CT SCAN shows that I still have cancer, and nothing has changed. My heart and soul are glad that nothing is spreading, as we can see. I am really wanting this cancer to leave my body. I have cried till I just can’t see anymore. I am scared and worried. It is really hard to wake up thinking the cancer will not go away.”

This sister-in-the-Lord is sharing from her heart and reaching out for prayer support. Part of my calling as a healing evangelist is to teach people how to believe, and what it means to believe. In other words, what do we do and say as we stand in faith for a much-needed miracle? And along these same teaching lines, “What are we saying and doing that are hindering our healings from manifesting in our physical bodies?

Here is my response to our sister-in-Christ.

“As I read this request, I sense the need to teach you a little about the power of your words. Proverbs 18:21 clearly states that, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Every word you utter is prophesying either life or death. You say, “The cancer will not go away.” Is this what you want? I don’t think so. You need to get radical in your speech and actions.

Let’s talk about, “Crying”. Yes, it is a stress reliever. But when it comes to matters of faith, it will not cause a shift in the supernatural atmosphere to cause a healing to manifest. Only faith can do this. And faith in the redemptive power of the blood of Jesus is what you need to stand on right now, and not the negative medical report.

I highly suggest that you spend some time today in prayer, and hit the “Reset” button, and start all-over, and this time do not allow the power of the negative report to control you, but use it to motivate you to press forward, and do not stop until that healing manifests.

I honestly am not trying to sound harsh but am trying to help you to heal.”

Perhaps, you are in a similar situation today, and you need to hit the “Reset” button of your faith, start over, and this time do not allow your five senses, human reasoning, medical reports and results to dictate your faith, but instead, allow them to catapult you out of the earthly realm and into the supernatural realm of the power of the redemptive blood of Jesus.

Do not allow the spirit of fear to drive you into worry and depression but snuff out that fear with words and actions of faith. Let’s pray.

“Dear Father God, 

I did not realize that I have been using the power of my words to harm my health, or present situation. I am sorry, that I aligned myself with the spirit of fear, and allowed its hellish powers to be used against me. I repent for all doubt and unbelief. I thank You, that You do understand that this battle is tough, but it is not more powerful than You. I thank You, that You do not change, but You remain strong through every storm that rises up against us. And I am drawing on Your strength, Your power, and Your might to see me through this battle. And I am grateful that when I feel weak, You remain strong, You never waiver, You never fall. If I cry out, I cry out from a heart of repentance, “Father, I believe, help my unbelief.” Holy Spirit, I ask for Your courage when I feel afraid. I ask for Your comfort when I feel sad. And I choose the supernatural power of joy today, and I allow this inward strength of Your’s to fill me and to sustain me this day. I choose to hit the “Reset” button of my faith and trust in You today. In Your mighty name, I pray, amen.”

Steps to Take to Voice Activate Your Faith

A word of encouragement for you today to help you with steps to take to voice activate your faith.

God’s Word in Proverbs 18:21 teaches us that, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” In other words, your words are full of supernatural power to produce life or death. In fact, you are releasing life or death into every situation by the power of your everyday words. When we allow ourselves to mediate upon this biblical fact about the power of our words it causes us to realize that we have been given a major responsibility and we need to take the use of our words serious. 

If you are a person of many words, who blurts out their thoughts instead of taking time to consider what we should or should not say then this is my spiritual advice to you. “Stop! Your words are recking havoc not only in your life, but in the lives of those around you.” Ouch! That kind of hurts, but your constant flow of words is causing a lot of damage, and with the help of the Lord, you can stop this out-of-control behavior. Here are a few steps for you to take to bring your usage of words under submission to the Lord.

  1. Repent for the mismanagement of your words.
  2. Surrender your mouth and the use of your words to the Lord Jesus, Himself.
  3. Begin to listen to what you speak, and ask yourself, “Do I really want what I just said to come to pass?”
  4. And remember, with God all things are possible, even surrendering my usage of words to God.

Then we have the opposite type of person who is afraid to speak. This too is a misuse of the power of your words. God has given to you a great gift–the power of the spoken word. He created people, including you in His mirror image, (See Genesis 1:26-28.), and expects each of us to represent Him well. A well-rounded ambassador knows understands just how important their words are, and so should we, who are called by His name, and proclaim to be followers of Jesus Christ. The enemy, satan desires for you to live in fear, and be afraid to speak up and let your voice be heard. Don’t give into the devil’s tactics against you. I’ve included a list of steps for you to put into action, beginning now.

  1. Repent for allowing yourself to be controlled by a spirit of fear.
  2. Make a quality decision to voice activate the power of your words today.
  3. Empower yourself to overcome the fear of people, and their possible disapproval of your thoughts and opinions.
  4. If someone starts to speak the negative around you, or about you, speak up! And say, “Excuse me, but I disagree with what you say.” And share from your heart what you believe to be God’s response to the situation.
  5. And voice activate this Scripture over yourself daily. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”, Philippians 4:13.

We’ve talked about two types of people here, the over-talker, and the one that is afraid to speak up. But what about everyone else that falls somewhere in between? We all need to be aware of the power of our words. Each one of us can fall into the mismanagement of the usage of our words, and we don’t want this. But I also want to say, we can all learn how to use our words for the glory of the Lord. Here is a list for all of us to consider and put into action.

  1. Listen to the words that we speak.
  2. Ask ourselves, “Do I really desire what I just said to come to pass?”
  3. Apologize when we realize we said something we should not have said to someone.
  4. Repent for saying words that go against the well-being of our own physical body, or our present situation.
  5. And ask Holy Spirit how to reword those misused words and say aloud what He tells you to speak.
  6. And remember, “With God all things are possible”, see Matthew 19:26. Even learning to correctly voice activate the power of our words is possible.

Do I Have What it Takes to Endure Persecution?

We see that difficult times are upon us, and that persecution against us is ramping up. And many fear what might happen, and others question if they have what it takes to endure persecution. Let’s examine our hearts and ask ourselves the hard question, “Can I endure these difficult times?”

How does our Lord Jesus respond to the church in Smyrna? Let’s read this portion of Scripture to find out.

“8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write:

The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life, says this:

‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the slander by those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.’

They do not hear a rebuke, but only words of encouragement. Who are they? They are the persecuted Church. He encourages them to not fear their imminent sufferings, but to be faithful to the end.

Therefore, the question to ask ourselves is, “Do I have the level of faithfulness it takes to endure persecution?”” Revelation 2: 8-11, NASB.

As we read, we see that they do not receive a rebuke, but only words of encouragement. Who are these Church goers? They are the persecuted Church. And He encourages them to not fear their imminent sufferings, but to be faithful to the end.

What else do we read about fear in God’s Word, that will help us to remain fearless? We read in Second Timothy 1:7, “ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Fear is beyond just an emotion, it is a spirit, and it is not a spirit that comes from God. And instead of fear He gives to us power. In Zechariah 4:6 we are told, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.” Our Lord knows what we are about to face, and He personally understands what it will take for us to overcome this spirit of fear. And where does this power come from? And what will we do with this power? Acts 1:8 makes it plain, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

According to Second Timothy 1:7, we not only receive power, but also love. There is power in love, and quite frankly without love we are powerless. First John 4:16 tells us, “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” Just as supernatural power is found in Him, so too is love. He doesn’t just love, He is love. And it will take His power fueled by His love to overcome persecution. Our love for Him will keep us on the straight and narrow, even during times of tribulation, difficult times.

We are also told in Second Timothy 1:7, that instead of fear we are given a sound mind. During these intense times we see how our enemy, satan is attacking our mind and emotions, to wear us out so that we give up the fight. But let’s not give up this good fight of faith but take the enemy head on and bring him down and walk in the victory we have been given. As we see in His Holy Word, we have been given the mind of Christ. And His Word is sharper than any two-edged sword, and it pierces us down in our inner most being.

This message may be simple, but it’s filled with reassurance, that even in times of persecution for our faith, He will be with us. And He has equipped us with powerful weapons of faith such as power, love, and a sound mind to endure even in times of persecution.

Let’s pray.

“Father God, You tell us not to be afraid, and I need to confess that sometimes I struggle with fear about being persecuted. I am not filled with fear because I think You are weak, but that I know my own frailties spiritually. And sometimes I am unfaithful to trust You to protect me. I know this is not right, and I desire to get to the place where I know that I know, I trust You. I trust You no matter what they say to me, or how they act out against me. I choose to rely upon Your strength, and I thank You that You are faithful to me. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

A Confession of Faith Against Parasites

A confession of faith against parasites, both natural and manmade is urgently needed for the times we are living in. So right now, I voice activate the power of life and death given to me in the power of my words (See Proverbs 18:21.) and I declare in the name of Jesus’, the name that is higher than any other (See Philippians 2:9-11.) His promise of protection over me that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. (See Isaiah 54:17.) I call upon the Great Shepherd  (See John 10:11.) and voice activate the power of His staff to beat off the enemies that surround me and desire to devour me. And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death on this earth I will not fear satan’s evil created against me, for my Lord’s rod and staff will protect me. (See Psalm 23:4.)

I decree a wall of protection between me and my family from this spirit of death and its parasites, both natural and humanmade. I declare that I am not a host, a safe place, or a food source for them, nor am I a nursery for their eggs. I voice activate the authority of Christ that I have been given (See Luke 10:19) and nothing, including these parasites being injected into the human race shall hurt me and my loved ones.

I am a temple of the Holy Spirit, and I will not share His temple in me with the spirit of death, viruses, parasites and their eggs. No, they cannot and will not inhabit this holy place reserved for the Spirit of the Living God. And if they have entered into my being I hereby give them an eviction notice immediately. I say, “Get out in the name of Jesus!”

I take this a step further, and I use the supernatural power of death in my tongue and release faith-filled words of death and destruction into the very center of their being. They self-destruct, dissolve, and are eliminated from my body by the power of the blood of Jesus living in me. Not one of their cells, molecules or tentacles may survive in my body. I am supernaturally cleansed, delivered and healed from this spirit of death, its viruses, parasites and their eggs. I declare this confession of faith over me and my loved ones in the most holiest of names–Jesus Christ, amen and amen.

Victory Over Satan’s Hidden Agenda Against Us

It is time for us to bring into the light satan’s hidden agenda against us. Great evil has been unleashed against us, but does this mean that we are defeated and powerless against his wicked schemes against us? Certainly not! But in order to overcome we must know what God says about this secret agenda against us. It’s time for victory–read on!

Number one, we have a beginning and it starts with Elohim–Father God our creator, Jesus Christ our redeemer, Holy Spirit our teacher, comforter and strength. Our enemy, satan abhors our beginning, and this is why he tries so hard to hide this foundational truth from our youth. But the Word of God, our standard clearly opens up with this truth, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” Genesis 1:1. The evolution theory comes from the devil, himself, but the opening verse in the Holy Bible trumps his lies.

He also lives in fear that we would know that we are created in the mirror image of God. This is why he fights so hard against us from knowing God’s plan for our creation found in Genesis 1:26-28. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” It was the plan of Father God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit to create us in His mirror image, and to rule and reign as His kings and priests on this earth. Revelation 1:6 shares this powerful truth, “And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” And he fears us knowing this truth. Why? Because when we realize who we really are we become lethal against him.

And this is the reason for the transgender confusion against our youth–our future generations. If he can confuse the people about our beginning and identity, we cannot activate our authority over him. What does Jesus  reveal to us about our authority in Luke 10:19? Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” But if we do not know who we are, even in the natural realm, “How are we ever going to understand who we are spiritually speaking and the authority that we have been given?”  So our enemy sends out spirits of confusion to prevent this truth from being revealed to us, so we do not defend ourselves against his wickedness.

What does Jesus say about our true enemy, the devil, the serpent of old, satan, himself? “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly,” John 10:10. What is the enemy stealing from the people? Security, peace, reassurance that there is a living-God that loves and cares for us and has a destiny and a purpose for us.

Let’s turn to our beginning–our conception found in Psalm 139:13-16. For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.” No matter the circumstances surrounding our beginning God was very involved in our creation. I am not saying that He planned for someone to be raped, but I am saying that even in horrific situations He was not ashamed of you. He had His eye upon you, and preplanned your destiny and purpose. He knew how you would come into this earth, but those tragic happenings would not stop His will and ability to fashion you for His glory. And this is good news to many, How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You,” Psalm 139:17-18. And concerning plans and purposes this is what He declares over you, His beloved, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,” Jeremiah 29:11.

4 Steps to Find Your Source of Encouragement

You may be struggling with discouragement today, and if this is you I want to share 4 steps to find your source of encouragement, so that you can overcome discouragement and enter into the supernatural realm of God’s encouragement. 

A woman wrote me  with the following need for prayer for her miracle. She shared, “My cancer returned after three years and I feel so bad. I am going to undergo radiation and chemo in the next few days. I need prayer. Please, I need help to get new cells and lymph nodes, and complete healing and removal of all cancer cells in my body.”

This lady received a negative medical report, and naturally discouragement follows right behind  the negative words of “cancer returns.” And so too the spirit of fear floods her memories of the pain she experienced years ago with all the radiation and chemo treatments and procedures. Knowing she needs help to overcome this discouragement and the deadly attack against her life, she does the right thing and reaches out to someone who will encourage her in the faith to stand strong on the promise of God’s Word, “by His stripes she is healed.”

But [in fact] He has borne our griefs, and He has carried our sorrows and pains; yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken, struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him]. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; the punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him, and by His stripes (wounds) we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5, AMP.

Perhaps, you are in a similar situation as this woman and need help to get out of the realm of discouragement and find someone who will offer hope to trust God for a miracle. If so, you are not alone; many struggle to find a bit of encouragement these days. Let’s face it, the news is gloomy, social media is filled with hate, and in general, people have become so negative.

So, where do God’s people find a word of hope? Right from the source — God’s Word. And this is where we are going to turn to right now and search the Scriptures to fight off discouragement.

Let’s begin with a prayer directly to the Source of encouragement: “From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I” (Psalm 61:2 NIV).

Psalm 27:14 gives us biblical instruction on how to overcome discouragement: “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!” We are to wait on the Lord with hope, with expectancy, like a pregnant woman awaits the blessed day for the birth of her child.

Consider the word “wait” in a different manner, not just a s a period of time passing by waiting for something to happen, but to wait to serve the Lord. Look at this well-known verse from Isaiah 40:31 in this way, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

As we serve the Lord with a true heart, our strength is renewed. We are filled with joy; and because joy is a supernatural strength, we become stronger as we serve Him. And to clarify what I mean by serving the Lord, it doesn’t mean to take on another task at your local place of fellowship, but to wait upon Him as follows:

Four Steps to Find Your Source of Encouragement

  1. Believe God. In the Gospel according to John, our beloved Jesus comforts us with His words in John 14:1, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.”
  2. Worship Him in spirit and in truth. Jesus tells us in John 4:24, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
  3. Pray in the Spirit and encourage yourself. Apostle Paul instructs us in First Corinthians 14:4 (NIV) how to encourage ourselves. He says, “Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.”
  4. Perfect the love of God in you by His Word. Apostle John writes to us in First John 2:5 (NIV), “But if anyone obeys His word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in Him.”

If you follow these simple steps, you will find your Source of encouragement in Christ and overcome the enemy’s power of discouragement.
