Defeat the Darkness!

In these final days before Jesus' return, we must know our authority! The harvest depends on each of us walking in our God given place and fulfilling His plan upon the earth.

The devil has done his best to intimidate and mock the things of God. Most people do not like being ridiculed. The principals of the Spirit are foolishness to the natural mind. Satan is more afraid of those who know the Word and put it into practice than anyone else because those are they who can enforce his defeat.

People will spend a lot of money and a great deal of time getting an education so they are prepared for a career. It never occurs to them that they need to study the Word in order to learn how operate effectively in the realm of the Spirit. We must navigate the spirit realm in cooperation with those laws. We can speak to things and change them just like Jesus.

To develop unshakable faith, we need to plant the Word of God in our hearts. We can do that on purpose by meditating the Word. When we meditate, we take the time to apply the Word to the circumstances we are facing. Spending time daily applying scripture will ultimately change the way we think and our words.

Every victory is won by speaking the desired end result. The Church is the prophetic voice on this earth. We were created to be speaking spirits. Speak the Word only!

Too many people, even some who have known the Lord most of their lives, have no idea how to walk by faith. Although they may attend a church that often talks about faith, "Faith" remains an abstract concept that is talked about but never put to work. This series will be addressing this gap. It is time for the discussion of faith to become a lifestyle!

Jesus is our example of how faith acts. He used His faith and spoke words expecting His faith to produce results every single time. He spoke and acted by faith on purpose - we need to follow His example.

We are to imitate Him. We were made in His Image. The fivefold ministry is to equip the saints of God. We have to put on the new man - to walk as He walked. We must put away that which does not reflect Him. As we walk in love, we stay in unity with God's purpose and His will to complete His plan upon the earth.

The curse was released upon this earth the moment Adam ate the fruit. The curse came as a result of disobedience. The Lord had to send the man and the woman out from the Garden to prevent him from eating of the Tree of Life. Jesus paid the price and redeemed us from the curse.

In the beginning, Satan was Lucifer, the Anointed Cherub. When Satan saw that man was given the place next to the Lord, he envied what mankind had. Since then, he has taken every opportunity to steal, kill and destroy from the man God created.

In the Garden, Adam and the woman had dominion, but when Adam disobeyed the instructions of the Lord he surrendered all of his God given authority and dominion to Satan. Satan became the god of this world. Jesus came to redeem mankind from Satan's control. Man was given free will. If a man does not choose Jesus, by default he remains under Satan's control.

We all have an Enemy who consistently attempts to obstruct our victory. He will deceive, manipulate and divert in whatever way needed to stop the victory from manifesting. Every time we defeat him at his own game, we embarrass him in front of every naysayer on earth and all within the realm of the spirit. We must be determined to reap our harvest in spite of whateverefforts he makes.

Children are a heritage of the Lord. They are a gift from Him. Modern society has decided that they are at best an inconvenience and at worst a hinderance to living a full life. We are responsible to raise our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. The Lord has a divine plan for every person. How many could not fulfill their calling because they were aborted or abused? Satan requires the...

In today's world, the few people who actually marry rather than live together have no concept of Covenant as it applies to marriage! The modern world does not esteem marriage thinking of it as "just a piece of paper. Marriage is a covenant relationship with the Lord and each other.

The Word of God gives us wisdom to receive provision. Believers are not supposed to make a covenant with other men to get their needs met. When we know how to operate within spiritual law, we have more than enough!

The Lord created the physical body to regenerate and heal itself. Men created pharmaceuticals, but many have ingredients that cause more side effects than healing benefits. The Lord gave us many plants with healing properties, but instead of using His wisdom to walk healed, too many run to medical doctors and manmade chemicals. It is time to seek His wisdom.

The wisdom of God has been tossed aside by many in favor of man's solutions. Many say that we are experiencing a 'mental health' crisis in these modern times. The root of this crisis cannot be dealt with using pharmaceuticals, therapy or self -help books. These man-made solutions only allow the issue to be perpetuated. It is time to tap into the principal thing!

In these Last Days, many people are certain that they have the answers needed for these times. The world has an abundance of "experts" to guide others through any and every situation. Everyone has an opinion and those who are considered experts are the chosen ones we are supposed to follow. What the world needs is the principal thing!

We are not forced to stretch up to try to reach heaven to get our needs met, we are already seated with Jesus at the right hand of the Father. We are far above anything the Enemy can try to do. When a believer knows not only who he is, but his position in the realm of the Spirit, all things are possible!

When we refuse to choose the love walk, we are "sitting ducks" and are vulnerable to all the strategies of the Enemy. God doesn't just have love, He IS love! As we continue on the love line, He is right in the center of all that could affect us. With Him there, we cannot fail!

Too many believers set their sword and shield aside after a victory. This is a huge tactical error! Take a moment to praise the Lord for the victory then, take up your sword again.

We are all in a battle for this earth - light versus dark, good versus evil. The Enemy's MO is the element of surprise. He will never warn you before an attack. He will continuously attempt to weaken your position in the Spirit so that he is guaranteed to win when the confrontation comes. We are guaranteed victory when we use our faith and refuse to yield to him.

The Lord impressed me that many people have questions. In this episode, Cindy asks the questions and together we search the Word for the answers.

Each of us has a God given purpose in the earth. "Everything God tells us to do is impossible." The Lord is expecting us to tap into His anointing to complete our calling before Jesus comes. Regardless of the opposition we face, the favor of God and the anointing will put us over.

When we are covenant minded, we will resist any circumstances that oppose our Covenant. That covenant guarantees our success in every area of redemption - spirit, soul, body, financially, socially and intellectually.
