Ken:
We're believing God and we're rejecting negativity, we're rejecting unbelief, we're not buying into it. God will perform His will according to His will, not ours. God is bringing us to a point and a place where we are not accepting unbelief. We're not accepting it.
Ron:
If the enemy comes in with lies or division and all that, my immediate response is to bind the hand of the enemy, to bind the strong man and send him where he belongs.
That's the authority the Lord's given us. He's also given us a creative authority to replace that and bring in the Holy Spirit - to release the overflow of the Holy Spirit, to release His Word, to release health, life. We have these things. They're, they're provided by Him totally. The only thing that stops us is unbelief.
The enemy is a paper dragon, so he can roar all he wants. He has no authority. So again, I think our effectiveness throughout our days has a two fold thing. Killing unbelief in your own spirit, in your own mind. The second fold is exercising the authority and the privilege you have as a son. I'm not praying anymore that the Lord will do this and I'm going to stand up and start creating and proclaiming as a son.
Bill:
Have faith toward God. Don't have faith in the promises. Don't have faith. Have faith towards God, because He's the only one that can do it. Abraham in his youth, he was a warrior. He was, you know, he a landowner. He had great success. He went and rescued Lot. God comes and says, you're going to be the father of multitudes and you're going to have a son.
Then the years passed until having a son was impossible for them to do out of their own efforts, out of their own faith, out of their own expectations. And God kind of said, Oh, okay, now I'll do it supernaturally. Start having faith toward God. When He thinks you're ready, He will bring them forth. Open your heart to something that you have never done before, that God has never made available, and try not to limit it to the things you want. Let it be something, as the Abraham story, that it's impossible for you to do except through faith toward God.
Dale:
Get out of bed in the morning and expect change. When we believe in Him it's like a vacuum we're sucked up into His presence . And in His presence we can do anything. We can receive anything. It's what He wants to give us.
That's our simple key that I use. I get up this morning. I expect God to change me to put before me change - put before me His will. I'm not going to try to figure it out with my human mind. I'm going to be sure my heart is where it's supposed to be. As He makes the changes .
Bill:
Let us have an expectation that it's going to be altogether different. Let us have an expectation that God is going to open the door for areas that we can't quite comprehend now. We expect something different than what we are used to. Lord, we believe that Word into fulfillment.
Ron:
So I have faith toward God, and then He turns around and He goes, yeah, but I gave you the keys. So speak My word into every situation. God's raised and created us to be his oracles of His Word, and on every level. You know, if I've having problems personally. I speak the Word of God into it. And if I see things nationally or on the worldview, I speak the Word of God. It's all about His Word. And I think my challenge personally is just to stand and continue to believe, I spoke it Lord, but this was Your Word and You're the ones doing this.
Lois:
In the kingdom, we're not going to be able to just sit back and watch TV and, and see God do all the work. He's going to say, get up and get started. So you may as well start practicing right now. And I like that.
Ken:
He is our Lord. He's the one we trust. He's the one that we walk with.
