2 Cor 6: 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive
you,
2 Cor 6: 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be
my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty
2 Cor 7: 1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved,
let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,
perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Well now, this is going to be interesting. I must admit here,
I did not decide to do this by my own desire, But felt certain that is by the LORD'S leading that I am suppose to be a SERVANT in this area to the BODY. I sure don’t know where we are going with this one.
I know I refer to PHYSICAL BABYLON a great deal. I want to
assure you that I understand, BABYLON
is both SPIRITUAL and PHYSICAL (a physical manifestation of a SPIRITUAL
condition)
But what kind of SERVANT would I truly be to the LORD and
HIS BODY, if I only concerned myself and others with the PHYSICAL portion of BABYLON.
WE MUST PREPARE to COME OUT OF HER, both SPIRITUALLY and
PHYSICALLY.
The LORD has lead me to share with many of you as HE is SHARING with ME, how to overcome
stumbling blocks and strongholds in our lives. I will not speak of PARTICULAR SB or SH,
because there are so many. What may cause ONE MAN or ONE WOMAN to STUMBLE, or be HELD
CAPTIVE, another can WALK in FAITH to do.
For one it may be LUST, of any kind.
For another it may be a STRONGHOLD of COMFORT .etc.
For one it may be LUST, of any kind.
For another it may be a STRONGHOLD of COMFORT .etc.
It will be by DESIGN that I not NAME particular STUMBLING BLOCKS Or STRONGHOLDS. For it by HIS MERCY and HIS LEADING that the LORD will REVEAL the stumbling blocks and strongholds as HE SEES THEM.
I will be taking this ONE DAY at a time, allowing the HOLY
SPIRIT to LEAD.
I do not know the END from the BEGINNING, But I KNOW THE
ONE THAT DOES KNOW the END FROM THE BEGINNING, and this is the FIRST STEP of the OVERCOMING that the LORD has lead me to SHARE.
MAY the LORD bring an INCREASE to HIS WORD, that HIS PEOPLE
will be able to STAND STRONG and be HEALED, in spirit, and body as the day
approaches.
MY PRAYER: and perhaps you would like to join me in this prayer as well.
LORD GIVE me a surrendered HEART to YOUR WILL and YOUR
DESIRE, that YOU will guide and direct my mind, body and soul as YOUR SERVANT/HANDMAIDEN
at whatever cost to myself this may be. SET ME FREE LORD of whatever stronghold or stumbling block Babylon has on me spiritually and physically. For those that are SET FREE INDEED by YOU. Please give me the GRACE and MERCY and by YOUR
POWER and STRENGTH to be an OVER-COMER, That I may SURRENDER anything that is
NOT of YOU, by your WILL and YOUR
DESIRE. IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

HOW TO OVERCOME our STRONGHOLDS and STUMBLING BLOCKS in our
lives.
Today, I will only be sharing the ONE TRUTH the the LORD has given me.
The LORD told me that HIS WILL must be REVEALED. For it is by HIS
WILL, HIS DESIRE, and HIS POWER that we OVERCOME whatever SH, or SB IN OUR LIVES.
THE LORD’S WILL
WE are not our own. IT will be ONLY by the LORD’S WILL that
we overcome any SH or SB in our lives.
1 Cor 6: 19 What? know ye not
that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
[which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your
own?
We are the TEMPLE
of GOD, where the HOLY
SPIRIT dwells. Surrendering to the WILL and RESTORATION of the LORD comes through the POWER of
the HOLY SPIRIT.
THE HOLY SPIRIT has the POWER to MORTIFY our FLESH.
WHAT is OF The LORD is EMPOWERED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT.
JAMES 4: 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you.
Many times we seek the RESISTING the DEVIL through our OWN
FLESH, when in truth it is in the SUBMITTING to GOD that THAT the HOLY SPIRIT, gives
us the POWER to OVERCOME the FLESH that the DEVIL can not have his way with us.
JAMES 4: 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and
he shall lift you up.
HUMBLING ourselves before the LORD, is WHEN HE lifts us up
to overcome. HIS POWER, HIS HOLY SPIRIT, For the HOLY SPIRIT will EMPOWER what
is the WILL and DESIRE OF GOD. What is OF GOD, is empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT.
TAKING that FIRST STEP:
IF one is NOT CONVINCED, or WALKING IN ASSURANCE that THEY
are being convicted of their SB or SH, then we are “DOUBLE MINDED”, a DOUBLE MINDED
PERSON will RECEIVE NOTHING from the LORD, NO power to overcome the SH OR SB in
our LIFE:
A DOUBLE MINDED person will lay it down and pick it back up
over and over again. Our FLESH has NO POWER over SPIRITUAL things.
To NOT be able to WALK in the CONFIDENCE that WE have HEARD
the VOICE of the SHEPARD, and the CONVICTION that this is the LORD’S WILL, will
cause us to STUMBLE over and OVER again.
To SEEK to overcome this THROUGH our flesh is SELF
DEFEATING.
* Causing us to be UNSTABLE in our WAYS stumbling and self
condemnation. That is the enemies will, not the LORD’S.
JAMES 1: 6 But let
him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the
sea driven with the wind and tossed.
JAMES 1: 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive
any thing of the Lord.
JAMES 1: 8 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.
INSTRUCTIONS for today:
WE must KNOW the LORD”S WILL for our LIFE:: WILL YOU COMMIT with me TODAY to get BEFORE HIM that HE will REVEAL?
IS it the LORD’S WILL that this SB or SH in my life be
OVERCOME?
THE ONLY WAY to have COMPLETE ASSURANCE and CONFIDENCE of
the CONVICTION and TO be able to WALK in the POWER OF OBEDIENCE is to get before the LORD
that the CONVICTION will come.
What we have BEGUN IN FAITH, LET us continue in FAITH.
We must find ourselves before A HOLY
GOD, individually for IN HIS PRESENCES, Sin is REVEALED and CONSUMED.
It is through HIS HOLINESS that
DARKNESS if revealed and OVERCOME.
Laying aside all thoughts of our own, preconceived notions
of what the problem really is and ALLOW the LORD to SEARCH OUR Heart, Mind, and Body.
Allow the LORD access to your HEART, GIVES HIM opportuntity to EXPOSE SIN,
Do not seek to bring about your OWN CONVICTION, Allow the LORD to REVEAL.
PERHAPS the LORD is WORKING on
an INWARD SPIRITUAL problem rather than the OUTWARD/CUP problem.Outward ADDITIONS and STUMBLINGS often are SIMPTOMS of inward HEALING that needs to occur.
Don’t take it upon yourself to DETERMINE what HE is going to
REVEAL. ALLOW the HOLY SPIRIT to do the WORK that HE was meant to do.
2 Cor 10: 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war
after the flesh:
2 Cor 10: 4 For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal,
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
2 Cor 10: 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing
that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ;
ROMANS 8: 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what
[is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh
intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
Asking HIM to reveal the “SIN” or “HEALING” that needs to
come to our LIVES.
Conclusion:
The assignment for today is: ROMANS 12: 1
LET us PRESENT ourselves as a LIVING SACRIFICE to the LORD.
1. Find a QUIET PLACE that
you can get before the LORD. Ask HIM to SEARCH you out, REVEAL anything that is
in your HEART, MIND, BODY that is NOT Of HIM.
2. SIT QUIETLY before HIM, DWELL in HIS PRESENCES and allow
the HOLY SPIRIT to SEARCH YOUR HEART. WAIT patiently for an ANSWER.
* Very often this comes THROUGH WORSHIP, PRAISE until you
find that PLACE of WORSHIP (worship is deeper than praise, worship brings us
into a PLACE where we are PREPARED to RECEIVE from the ONE that has ALL
KNOWLEDGE and RIGHTEOUSNESS, it is a place of RESTORATION)
When the ANSWER COMES:
3. SURRENDER to the CALL, CONFESS that it is NOT OF THE
LORD. And that We desire to bring our THOUGHTS, SH, SB into CONFORMITY with
CHRIST.
The first step to OVERCOMING is the WILLINGNESS to SURRENDER. IF a person is NOT WILLING to SURRENDER then the REPENTANCE will NEVER COME. .
SUBMIT to HIS POWER, REPENT, and SEEK RESTORATION.
THE OVERCOMING may not come in ONE SITTING, but the KEY to
the OVERCOMING is KNOWING the WILL of the LORD
in OUR LIFE.
May the LORD lead us to THE GODLY SORROW:
2 Cr 7: 10
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Godly Sorrow will lead to REPENTANCE.
BEGIN WALKING by FAITH in that SURRENDER, so when the enemy
comes to TEMPT we can SURRENDER our FLESH to the LORD for HIS POWER TO OVERCOME
the TEMPTATION.
We must KNOW the WILL of the LORD, that the enemy can not
cause us to be DOUBLE MINDED. ONCE the conviction comes, REPENTANCE will not be
far behind, then we are able to RISE up from the cross to get to the POWER Of
the RESURRECTION. That is the ABUNDANT LIFE.
PHIL 3: 10 That I may know him, and the
power of his resurrection, and the
fellowship of his sufferings, being made
conformable unto his death
What is the WILL OF THE LORD in YOUR LIFE? For it is HIS TRUTH that will SET US FREE.
AMEN, I pray that this will bring HEALING and SURRENDER to
the BODY OF CHRIST, Through the works of the HOLY SPIRIT, in JESUS NAME AMEN.
