REJOICE

Romans 12:12 - Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation: be constant in prayer.

WE'RE TO LIVE IN HOPE. WE'RE TO REJOICE. SO, WHEN SATAN COMES TO STEAL MY VICTORY AND TELL ME THAT GOD IS NOT GOING TO HELP ME THIS TIME:

Strategies

I THINK ON THE WORD AND START REJOICING,

I REJOICE THAT I AM IN HIM,

I REJOICE THAT HEAVEN IS MY HOME,

I REJOICE THAT GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD.

TRIBULATION MEANS BEING UNDER PRESSURE. WHEN PRESSURE COMES:

I DON'T CAVE IN,

I DON'T FAINT

INSTEAD, I GO TO THE THRONE OF GRACE - I GO BOLDLY IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND GET THE HELP I NEED.

I STAY "CONSTANT IN PRAYER" (I DOUBLE UP ON THE WORD) SO THAT I AM UNMOVABLE.

lCorinthians 2:16 - "For who has known or understood the mind( the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ, the Messiah, and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

First Corinthians 6:17 says that when we were joined to the Lord we became one spirit with Him. He came into union with us so that He can talk to us heart to heart -- His thoughts become our actions.

He wants us to walk so closely with Him that we never lack power to overcome the evil of this world, and feel His heart of compassion toward those that are hurting or bowed down with sickness and pain.

He wants to be one with us so He can reach out through our hands and fulfill his purposes in the earth.

Affirmations

I make a fresh commitment to walk in union with God.

I give my attention to His Spirit in my inner man.

I determine to yield to His voice and not the voices of the world or the flesh (senses)!
