Dear Abba

Dear Abba

Thank you for Your Holy Spirit who guides me in praying through the decisions and direction in Your church; but the most staggering issue of prayer is the willful arrogance of lost humanity surrounding us. They spend thousands attending seminars to discover how to get rich, find peace, live longer, or buy your own island.

We hear famous celebrities telling the world how we must have their own cups full, without a word of being filled with Your Holy Spirit. You saw the Barna Report indicating only 37% of pastors have a Biblical World View today. Many declaring to be Christians are hoping to hear You say, “well done,” while many have done little to nothing without a conviction. For such a time as this o Father, please rise up in the name of Your Son Jesus. Deliver us from this worldliness and into Your holiness. The dead literally are burying the dead because, so few are in love with You at all.

For Your glory, will You please awaken the people of Black Canyon City concerning who You really are. May our Lord not allow the blood of Jesus Christ to be split in vain for these people. You have invited all to come now and reason together with You. Though our sins are as scarlet, You and only You can make them white as snow (Isaiah 1:18). They’re not convicted of sin, so they’re not willing to be corrected.

Jesus said the Holy Spirit will come and, “He will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8).” O Father, for all the suffering on earth, these people are going to weep without end if You don’t pour out Your Spirit on us soon.

Much of today’s church gropes in the light, while the world gropes around in the dark. “Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought we to be in lives of holiness and godliness (2 Peter 3:11).

In Jesus’ name

Crash Course on Spiritual Strongholds

Crash Course on Spiritual Strongholds

Paul wrote, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Destroying imaginations, and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2Cor 10:4-5).”

Mental strongholds are formed when we accept unbiblical lies as truth. These lies thenbecome thought patterns until we believe Biblical truth. Strongholds form as we embrace patterns of thought. Jesus declaring, “the truth will make you free,” is meant for daily living right now.

Scripture memorization is mandatory if we want to live a life of freedom. Does anyone really want to live a life of confusion or religious bondage? Without Biblical knowledge you have nothing to battle your demons with. You have no bullets in your gun. You don’t even have water to squirt.

All spiritual bonds are first rooted in spiritual deception. We become deceived when we believe the lies which demons use to influence us, and the stronghold begins to form. The Word of God declares, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2Cor 3:17).”

Eve listened to the lie and once she believed it, she was deceived, lost liberty, and got nothing but sorrow and loss. There is no ritual, or ancestral history to uncover. When you were born again, you became a brand-new creation in Christ. Old things passed away. Remember, the only way to eliminate deception and error, is to apply the truth that makes men free. Deliverance is past tense (Col 1:13).

The enemy has often planted erroneous structures in the mind of believers, by feeding us lies which develop faulty patterns of thought. Allowing thoughts of lust, pride, greed or that God forgot about you are all strongholds that only deliver more bondage.

We pull down strongholds and take destructive thoughts captive by believing what Goddeclares about us, not anyone else. Remember,

Every Stronghold is Based on a Lie

Confidence in Our Captain

Confidence in Our Captain

Sooner or later we all come face to face with rivers of impossibility, and insurmountable circumstances. Whether its family, health or economic difficulties, or concerns over the wobbly world we live in, God offers a wise approach to facing current challenges in Joshua chapter 6.

Joshua was both general and commander in chief of Israel as he surveyed the impenetrable walls of Jericho. After his meeting with the Lord, he was simply reporting for duty as second in command. Joshua fell face down before God. This would be step one for all of us.

The Lord said, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand.” God wanted Joshua to see this great victory through eyes of faith before it transpired. Joshua was able to see because first he bowed. If we fall to our knees, we won’t fall in our lives. Fight the urge to forsake intensive praying.

Israel was camped at Gilgal where memory stones were stacked reminding them of the miracle working God they served. Reading the Word is our daily reminder of the same (2 Pet 1:13).

The strategy made no sense, but God was his Captain. These were the Captain’s orders. According to God’s orders, Israel circled the walls of Jericho for six days without letting their voices be heard. God taught disciple. Exodus 14:14 declares, “The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.” No words of doubt nor complaint were heard.

God worked patience into His people. They were not to fall back as they marched around walls of impossibility for six days. Long before you heard of Jesus Christ, He had His eye on you, and He wants your eyes on Him more than the opposition.

On day seven the walls fell before God, not Joshua. God will always give His best to those who leave the choices up to Him, even against all odds.
