Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. John 14:1.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I am going to tell you how to escape the clutches of the evil one in other people and in yourself. You fall into his clutches when you get into the heat of anger, irritation and offense and speak out in ways you regret later.
Here is the answer: Believe in Me.
Let Me explain. When you do fall into his clutches through your emotions getting the better of you at any given moment, which often comes because of self-centeredness, do not get into condemnation of yourself and do not nurse bitterness in your heart. Do not go off in your room and scream and cry about it. Do not destroy yourself. Drop it there and trust Me to work with you to deliver you from your flesh, the world, and the devil.
I am present as your helper and when you are in Me, the evil one cannot touch you.
We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God, God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. 1 John 5:18.
You trusted Me for salvation, trust Me too to get you through each day’s problems.
And now just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust Him, too, for each day’s problems; live in vital union with Him. Let your roots grow down into Him and draw up nourishment from Him. See that you go on growing in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all He has done. Colossians 2:6-8.
Believe in Me and speak to the mountain that is causing you to trip up and is bringing you down. Cast out and level the mountain from your radar, from your mind. It is dead already or shall I say you are dead to it irritating you any longer. With My help you can leap over a wall.
How do you get through even the most difficult situation with another or yourself? Believe in Me. My Words in your mouth and My Spirit in and on you for I am your redeemer and the lifter of your head.
Here is the response to you of how to escape the clutches (the snares of the trapper) of the evil one and others. Remember, when you keep your eyes continually toward Me I pluck your feet out of the net. Psalm 25:15.
I will now take you to Mark 11:22-25, the incident when Jesus spoke to the fig tree and it withered from the roots up. First I will show you what Jesus told you to do and then we will break it down into five easy steps that you can do with joy. Remember you go out by joy and are led forth by peace.
And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted to him. Therefore, I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you for your offenses.” Mark 11:22-25.
First, believe in Me, that is, have faith in My promises. Whatever it is you need to get that mountain out of your way that keeps stopping your progress in going forward with Me I have that for you. And you will find it in My many magnificent promises to you that make your partakers of My divine nature when you plant them in your heart and speak them with your mouth. And that is what I tell you to do.
Second, SPEAK to the mountain, not about the mountain. What do you tell it? “Be taken up and cast into the sea.” Only the sea can cover a mountain so that you simply swim over it. You speak to the stronghold, irritation, hindrance that is defeating you and causing you to get into the clutches of the evil one. You are an overcomer. Even if you have that mountain, the challenging person that pulls you into strife, in your household, with My help you can avoid strife and enjoy your life by your mountain moving faith. Just know you are dead to that strife and you are walking in newness of life. Above it and not beneath it and do not get pulled ever again into a yelling match. A calm answer or silence is the better way. When words are many sin is not wanting.
Third, do not doubt in your heart (let your spirit within rule over your mental reasoning that will cause you to feel hopeless, trapped, angry, and sinful), but BELIEVE that what you SAY is going to happen and it will be YOURS. Your territory where you walk redeemed on the highway of holiness where the devil cannot join you for it is too high for him. Simply say you are free and that nothing can take your joy from you. For with Christ you died to sin, and with Christ I raised you above and not beneath all those sins that so easily have ensnared you in the past. No more. You are free. Even though Joseph was sold by his brothers as a slave and was trapped in prison he was free in his heart and enjoyed Me and his life. And I delivered him and made his name famous and blessed him to be a blessing to everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him. He could have had a shouting match of anger with his brothers when they came to get food not knowing who he was, but instead he surrounded himself with them and rejoiced in his position above the wiles of sin and the snares of bitterness. He brought them down to live near him and cared for them the rest of their lives. He overcame evil with good.
Fourth, therefore, all things for which you pray and ask BELIEVE you have received them and they will be yours. Believe in Me. That is the answer to every worry, fear, sin, and shame. Know and believe in the love I have for you and that I am on your side to bring you through with honor, excellence, and triumph. Have no anxiety about anything but in everything bring it to Me and put it in My hands. I will take care of it and I will take care of you. Forever.
“Because he has loved Me, I will save him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. I will satisfy him with a long life, and show him My salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16.
Fifth, forgive so you can receive. Whenever you stand in prayer, forgive if you have ANYTHING against ANYONE so that I will also forgive you your transgressions. You must give to receive, you must be walking in love, for faith works by love.
You cannot walk in strife and win. If you walk in strife you will sin. Strife erupts and makes ugly scenes, living in strife is like a bad dream. Strife will destroy your joy.
Love will give you joy. Do not fear only believe. Perfect love casts out all fear. Fear has to do with torment but love does not. Love gives you peace with Me. Love makes difficult things seem easy.
Take ownership of your world. You are heir of the world. Live your purpose and do not get off course. You are to be love, to fellowship and partner with Me, and to be fruitful. Know the plan and keep to it: ambassadors with a ministry of reconciliation, witnesses to all you have in Jesus, doing the works Jesus did and greater, and praying with Him as His royal priesthood unto Me.
To sum up the process: believe in Me (My goodness, My love, My light), speak to the mountain or any other issue contrary to My Word and level it, cast it out, and demolish strongholds, pray the prayer of faith, and forgive immediately and completely.
Believe in My goodness, love, protection, healing, deliverance, providence, kindness, and forgiveness.
Withstand and level evil and all interference of the devil and his demons by answering his tactics with My Word that contradicts him.
Turn all over to Me in prayer and know I have the solution ready for you.
Never get sucked into unforgiveness, resentment, anger offense, bitterness, argument, or the like. Stay in agreement with Me through all the offense.
This flows easily when you are walking an living in the joy of My love. Joy is of the heart and fullness of joy is in My presence. Get those two locations together and it is doubly powerful and comes forth with enough force to overcome tribulation and any form of opposition to the truth. My joy is your strength. Joy will flow and permeate all your spirit, soul, and body. Joy makes it easy to receive all My promises and blessings. With joy you will draw water at the springs of salvation, Yeshuah. Reach out in joy and I can pour every blessing into you. Faith and joy work together by love.
There is cause for rejoicing here no matter how many “mountains” you come across in your life. You are born again and have passed from death to life. Jesus paid your judgment and took your sentence so you are forgiven and free of the sin debt forever. Jesus brought you into union with Me and made you joint heirs with Him of everything. You are blessed beyond measure with heavenly treasure. You have a glorious eternal future. You are a new creation with a new destiny, a new position seated at My right hand in Jesus, and new benefits. You are living on the joyful side of the Cross. All the work is done and finished by Jesus and you have come into the gain.
Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one is going to take your joy away from you. John 16:22.
You have permanent joy. You are redeemed. Do not fight it, yield to it. To have joy unceasing you must be full of the Word.
These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. John 15:11.
Let the joy bubble up in your wellspring and nothing will cause you to fall into the clutches of the evil one. He cannot abide where they is joy.
I love you. I am going to teach you how to talk less and love more. Are you willing to do that?
