“No more weakness that leads to fatigue, for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” Philippians 4:13. Say that all the time. Put that scripture by your mirror. Make sure you meditate it before you start your work. Then activate it’s power thats needed every hour. Here are a few more scriptures on strength to add to your repertoire.

Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:29
He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Psalms 18:1-2
I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Eph.6:10
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

What happens when you split an atom? … The energy released in splitting just one atom is miniscule. However, when the nucleus is split under the right conditions, some stray neutrons are also released and these can then go on to split more atoms, releasing more energy and more neutrons, causing a chain reaction.

And so it is in the spirit. God designed the family of man; and most importantly, those who are born again, to be bound tightly together. The union of the church at large, or “the church universal”which are Christ’s own, are to make up a solid wall that no stray forces of the enemy can come through and cause a chain reaction unleashing destructive powers. Please, let’s learn this very vital lesson in our generations amongst the nations.

Matthew 12:25
25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

Lets talk about sounds now. What you hear is very important. What’s spoken that comes out of the heart makes the difference. Look at this example for a moment. If the sound of an ambulance siren was barely perceptible, as they increased there speed to get to the injured, they could themselves incur injury. But as the siren’s deep resonating sound is heard, the drivers in the vehicles that are on the road are alerted. They begin to look around to see in which direction the ambulance is approaching. Then as they get a glimpse of the rescue vehicle, they move over an make room for the ambulance to pass safely as possible. When your Spirit is full of the word of God, it acts as a siren. When and an injurious situation looms ahead, faith resonates from deep within the heart. The mind hears what’s coming up loud and clear from on the inside. The mind looks in every direction, and moves to the side so that the spirit can navigate you safely to victory. Resonating from deep within, faith comes to the rescue.

Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Have you ever watched men and women climb Mt Kilimanjaro? I have. I have watched the determination of those who seemed to be fearless. They’ve taken cameras on their headsets, and one can watch the trek as it progresses. In some of the sections, everyone appears jolly. Then other sections, a seriousness comes across the entire group, and with much carefulness, they progress. An interesting thing that I noticed, was that the guides would say from time to time, “Pole Pole” or “keep a slow pace.” This was because the air became thin the higher the elevation. As they reached the summit, it was not without arduous moments; there were many, but their victory was sweet! The Lord has often taken time to encourage me when viewing these treks. He said, keep moving forward; even if it’s “Pole Pole,” or at a slower pace. He encourages me to “rest a while; don’t quit, know others have gone before me, and I will be able to complete my race.” I’m thankful for His creative encouragement. You can take your time and slow down too if you must, but don’t quit. You will reach the summit soon. Then you can start on a new trek.

1 Cor. 4:3,4

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

The waters of the Jordan didn’t part until then priest step down into them. When faith is truly in operation, God gives the command,and you simply follow through. If your waiting for the waters to part before you move forward, your not in faith. Get back into the word so that you can see this clearly its operation. ( Warning! Not to be attempted unless your heart is full of the word) Some have a lot more work to do before they are there.

Joshua 3:13-16

13And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
14And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people; 15And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) 16That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho

It can’t produce a harvest without your help. If it sits in its package, and is not taken out, though life may lie deep within, it remains a seed no use to men. But if it’s taken out and planted correctly, and cared for as a farmer would respectfully, and if weeds do appear, and are taken way, and the elements above are conducive, ( God’s Hands come over the elements when your walking in his plan), I say, that the seeds that were planted, and well looked after, produce a great harvest indeed. Now look back the the parable of The Sower “ and believe.

Mark 4: 14-20.14The sower soweth the word. 15And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

Whilst in the service of the King, see your mandate as, supreme. Okay, that’s a little firm, let me be just a little lighter. If your not careful, images will arise that try to take control of your eyes. In other words, “what’s the use!” An American phrase meaning I don’t see any results! “All I see is……”But just keep up with what ever He is telling you to do. Love doesn’t wait on everything to be in place, it continues to express itself in faithful service. If you will keep up, first, you will see your victory in the word. This is true. Next that victory in the word will develop images on the inside of you. Lastly but not least, ( it’s all in the process of your faith you see), you will behold a little victory here, and a little victory there. Then they will grow into larger victories, for your faith is processed just like a seed. Please, don’t let your feelings pull you away, God needs your witness, your service, your smile, your love for him ( which includes love for his word day by day.)

Hebrew3:1,2
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

“Did you hear what God just did?

Without a witness, Men don’t know that the God of the Bible is still moving in the here and now. Some of you that don’t feewl a call to ministry in your lives, but you have seen God move mountains on your behalf. Come on, it’s time to open your mouth and share. You could be the key to others  pressing through to their victory. Let’s charge the air with Faith today!  You will spark the hearts around you,  and pretty soon, this earth will be ablaze with the knowledge of the goodness of our good God who wants to be good to them.

2 Cor. 4:13

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak

When you see your brother or sister what is your estimation of him or her? Sometimes familiarity breeds contempt. Sometimes prejudices surface and stand out. God has a remedy for these of things. . We are too see them as He see’s them. That’s why it’s soooo important to get your mind renewed to the word of God. First of all, your mind is being changed by who He says you are, and what He says you can do. As Your changing the image of yourself, be sure to see your brother or Sister along this same line. If God is perfecting you, He is perfecting them. And as you keep the proper images of yourself and your brother and sister, How sweet your appear countenance can become.  

2 Cor. 16-18

16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation

Forever, God’s word is the same. It doesn’t shift like the sands on the sea. It doesn’t give way when pressed into a tight place. No, God’s word never changes. So then faith can be developed in confidence. I just faced one of the greatest storms, that hopefully many will never face. It’s duration was almost three years. Yet as I approached this dark landscape. I looked back to the word. I said, “ God, you have never failed me. I trust your word. I trust my faith. And when I arrived at this seemingly disparaging place, God had gone on way before me and was my saving grace. I will never forget the God of my fathers. I never forget his written word, you see I’ve based my life upon his integrity, and He’s been that and so much more to me.

Romans 1:17 English Standard Version (ESV)
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith,[a] as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”[b]

The just shall have their lives sustained by faith
