Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Ephesians 6:10.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I want to make your life beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived and to do this I give you My Word and My Spirit. What you are filled with is what your attention is on, what you are thinking about and what you are obeying, will determine your strength and your power to go forward with the work of the Kingdom on earth that I have set aside specifically for you to make your life beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived.
Where you allow your thoughts to go at any given moment will either be taking something out of you and putting something wrong in you so you become weak and oppressed or are giving something into you and putting something good in you so you become strong and free in Me.
You who have received Jesus as Lord and entered Covenant with Me in Him, once you repent and confess your sins I am faithful and true to cleanse you of all unrighteousness and see you as holy, blameless and beyond reproach in My sight. I have released from your sins by putting them all on Jesus who then paid your judgment and satisfied your sentence of eternal death for you. And when I ratified that you were justified by His finished work by raising Him from the dead I raised you with Him in the spirit and seated you with Him at My right hand in Him.
And this is an eternal redemption that covers every day of your life in this world. You will never have any sin once you enter the Kingdom eternally. You are so full of love and the perfection of My fullness in you that there is no place for sin and no pull in its direction. Sin is lawlessness and it is done in darkness and there is none of that in those who have been perfected in the Kingdom. Which is the reward and rest from your labor of love in this life to obey My Word.
There is no condemnation now for you who are in Christ Jesus. You must never be permit yourself to be reliving your past sins in your thoughts, especially those of the flesh, these will plunge you into the darkness of self-condemnation and shame and leave you feeling unclean.
That is because in thinking of sins of the past you bring them into your life now and reactivate them. That is why I remember your sins and offenses no more. They are gone by the blood of Jesus and I will never reactivate them.
This is the same with offensive or abusive things others, especially those of your family, have done or said to you. Do not revive the anger or the offense and bring it into the present. Give the devil no place and never let the sun go down on your anger. You are nursing things that will destroy your present and future. Do not play with those thoughts or touch things against My Word.
I have forgiven you and I remember it no more, you should forget it as well by refusing to revive it in your thoughts. That is what I mean when I tell you to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Though He is One God with Me, He emptied Himself, humbled Himself so that He did not take offense at those who did not acknowledge His greatness and goodness, and only filled Himself with My Word and My Works. He refused to touch anything else in His inner man. He told you that the devil had no place in Him and you should do the same and take down strongholds he has taken in your thoughts over the years, never releasing you from past offenses but accusing you night and day.
So how do you deal with those imaginations and cast them down when they sneak their way into your thoughts? Grab the Bible and read Psalm103 and do not forget even one of your benefits. And then read 2 Corinthians 5 and know you are a new creation in Christ and all things are new, old things are gone. That you are My ambassadors of reconciliation for I was in Christ reconciling you to Myself not counting your sins and trespasses against you but accounting them all to Christ and punishing Him as the perfect Lamb of sacrifice. And you allow your soul to take comfort in My Word and the power is there in My Word as you think on these things to comfort and revive you.
You cannot go forward with your Kingdom assignment if you keep looking back. Remember Lot’s wife and that destroyed his family. They needed her to grow and do their assignment. Without her they sinned and lost their line.
You cannot put your hand to the plow and keep looking back and expect to do an excellent job of plowing and planting seed for the Kingdom.
I share with you in My Word that the angels who obey My Words excel in strength.
Bless the LORD, you His angels, mighty in strength, who perform His word, obeying the voice of His word! Psalm 103:20.
It is the same for you. Strength comes in hearing and obeying My Word because the strength is in My Word to perform it so it does not return to Me void but achieves the purpose for which I sent it.
But a seed does nothing unless you plant and cultivate it and you do that by obeying it by stepping out on it in faith. Every command I give that is heard and acted upon has within it the strength and the skill to do it and with it comes all the supplies, money, people, and skill you need.
I gave Moses the plans for the amazing Tabernacle wherein I would dwell among them and travel with them and I told him I had called Bezalel, and with him Oholiab, by name to carry out the intricate and artistic plans I had given him and had put My skill in them to do it. But it was when Bezalel and Oholiab did not refuse to do it as never having trained in the like of the skilled craftsmanship the job demanding but went to work in faith that everything was there, including the riches that I had given them of jewels, gold, silver, bronze, fabric, and all the materials needed, in fact, an overflow, needed for the plans.
“Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skillful person in whom the LORD has put skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded.” Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skillful person in whom the LORD had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it. They received from Moses all the contributions which the sons of Israel had brought to perform the work in the construction of the sanctuary. Exodus 36:1-3.
Hearing and obeying carries the success and provision with it. I revealed this to Joshua when I told him that to make his way prosperous and successful in carrying out his assignment to lead the people into the promised land and conquer it, he was to meditate on My Word day and night, to speak it constantly and consistently, and do it without turning to the right or the left. The strength and success was in the seed of that Word planted in his heart, spoken with his mouth, and carried out in his actions day and night. And as long as Joshua and the Israelites stuck to this they won every battle and conquered everywhere they trod but when they sinned against it, the were defeated as in the attack on Ai because of the disobedience of one man, Achan.
When I tell you to rejoice always in Me, there is a reason. When the spirit of depression, grief, pain, torment, or fear shows up, if you will instead declare your joy and fruitful happy life in Me and begin shouting and singing praise, that unclean spirit will flee. But more than that, you will feel strong, empowered and joyful right in the face of the challenge for when you obey the strength and provision to be successful is in the Word. And My joy is your strength.
There is a reason that you go out, that is, are delivered from bondage, with joy and are led forth by shalom peace. Jesus explained that those of you who hear My Word and do it have built your life on the foundation of Christ, who is My Word, and no storm will shake you or take you down.
The strength is there for you in the obedience. Some people talk themselves out of obeying My Word, such as tithing, because they fear they cannot do it and have everything the want to buy for their own interests or support of themselves and their families. But what they do not understand is that command carries prosperity in it so that if you step out upon it in obedience and do it the supply will come in amazing opportunities to prosper. And if you add offerings above the tithe, watch those go to work as well. I am so sure of this that I tell you to at least try it out and prove to yourself the truth in My Word comes to you in the obeying of it.
There is great strength in obedience to My Word.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your seed, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days. Deuteronomy 30:19-20.
Strength comes from obeying My Word by hearing and doing it. The hardest hour for Jesus, and yet He came for that hour, was the hour when in the Garden of Gethsemane He received as His own, into His own flesh, every sin from the least to the greatest, all the sins man had done and would do from the beginning to the end of time. Sin is abhorrent to Me and to Jesus and My Spirit. Jesus asked if this cup of My wrath poured upon Him as He was separated from Me by becoming sin for you could pass Him by without His drinking it, but to save you it could not. He had to become the sin bearer, the scapegoat, the sacrificial lamb, the burnt offering, the grain offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering to set you free and pay the price in full with His eternal life in the flesh and His pure blood. He agreed that night and once He stepped out in that obedience, in fact, in delight to do My Will and save you for Me as My heart’s desire, I sent an angel to strengthen Him. And He had the strength to undergo everything that fell upon Him to crush Him for your iniquities. The strength came in the obedience. I even sent a strong angel with strength from Heaven for Him. But He did not call on that angel to deliver Him, but to give Him strength to undergo all to save you.
Feed on My Word. Jesus could walk out His assignment because every day of His life on earth in the flesh He was filling Himself with My Word and that only. He spoke it alone, He did it alone, and He rose up early and stayed up late fellowshipping with Me in the Word. And it put strength in Him and peace beyond human understanding. And it will do the same for you. Do not fear, only believe.
I invite you to My abundant table to fill up on My Word and to receive Jesus as Lord and let Him fill your cup to overflowing with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. And that will fill your mind and your heart so there is no room for any other spirit.
My Word is spirit food, it is Spirit and life, and feeding on it will give you a strong spirit and doing it will give you strength in every part of you, from the innermost to the outermost.
And that is what it means to be strong in the Me (filled with My Word for I am My Word) and the power of My might (filled with the Holy Spirit) and when your spirit is strong in the inner man, nothing that comes against you from the world, the flesh or the devil can take you down.
The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear? Proverbs 18:14.
When your soul is dry, you will know, no joy, no victory. Then it is time to drink, drink, drink. Sing in tongues. And everyone will think you are drunk, like Pentecost when they came out of the upper room full of the Spirit.
So what is the solution to every problem? Only One: Salvation, Yeshuah, but you need to ask Him for a drink, and then with joy you will draw water from the springs of Jesus and find all the answers you need in the springs of Salvation, Yeshuah. But there is only one way you draw water and reap harvests, and it is not with tears, it is with rejoicing.
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” She said to Him, “Lord, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water? . . . Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” John 4:10-14.
When you sing songs of thanksgiving and praise in the Spirit you have found the path to victory. For the only way to be sure you are hearing from God and obtaining faith’s goal, your Salvation, is by being filled with the Holy Spirit and God’s Word. It was the way God led His covenant people out of Egypt:
“And He brought forth His people with joyful singing, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.” Psalm 105:43.
I love you. Never stop singing My songs. Anywhere and everywhere you walk can be the highway of holiness for you who are indwelt by My Spirit. As the body of Christ, filled My Word and with the Holy Spirit, the whole world is your church! I so loved the world I gave My only begotten Son so that all that BELIEVE in Him will never perish but have ETERNAL LIFE. And that starts now for eternal life is knowing Me, the one true God, and the One I sent to save you, Jesus Christ. John 17:3. It is the place of perfect fellowship and it starts now. 1 Corinthians 1:29; 1 John 1:3.
