BUILDING
IN THE SPIRIT
2 Corinthians 4:18 while we look not at
those things which are seen, but at the
In the book of Genesis chapter 22 we see in Abraham three vital aspects of the kind of faith that pleases God – obedience to God’s voice, right attitude, and expectation of God’s goodness in spite of what the natural mind would say.
Gen 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
“Be of good courage.” (Numbers 13:20)
The failure of 10 of the spies to obey this commandment cost them their lives and cost the Israelites 40 long years in the wilderness.
Deut 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
We are not permitted to fear our spiritual or natural enemies because Almighty God is the One who goes with us.
Mat 15:21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
Mat 15:22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
Mat 15:23 But He answered her not a word.
The Power that Works within Us
Eph 3:20,21 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Whatever we can think of or imagine, God can do more. Whatever we may be able to ask God for, He can do exceedingly abundantly above that.
Can we dream of being like Jesus Christ in character, temperament, self-c0ntrol, love, discipline or wisdom? Can we ask for that?
“This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.” (1 Timothy 1:18-20)
Do you believe in personal prophecy? The Apostle Paul did. He told Timothy that there were prophecies previously made concerning him. These prophecies were weapons by which Timothy could “wage the good warfare”.

We have been redeemed and forgiven of all our sins.
I had started going to an early morning prayer meeting, and last night while I was dreaming, the alarm woke me up. In my half woken state, while in the bathroom, the dream I was having continued.
I cannot now remember all the details of the dream. But I know that it was set for me to have a conflict with an evil werewolf, a creature of the night. This was to happen on a particular day. The werewolf had someone working with it, and I was to be helped by one man of God.
Which Way Lord? – Chapter 11
Fear Is Nothing More Than Faith In The Devil
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
“He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
