Private Battles

The enemy will use offense as a method to keep believers from developing their christian walk.  Believers are destined to do something great however, this will only be achieved if we are serving and serving at the right church.

When we first began playing basketball our greatest contribution will be defense until we develop our offensive game. God operates the same, in that He will send us somewhere to help someone else achieve their goals before His ultimate plan for our lives are reached.

God loved us so much that He gave His son. He was willing to give His all for us. At times we must be willing to demonstrate this agape love before we receive our request from God.

The appointed time is a set time when God will introduce Himself to you or reveal His plans for you. Sometimes, He reveals His plans later in life and other times He will reveal His plans at an early age. Sometimes, when He reveals His plans, He must enroll you into His accelerated program to prepare you for the appointed time  in which you will start your ministry/assignment.

We don't have to plead with God for Him to reveal His will for our lives. He wants to reveal Himself more than we desire. To know His will, we must start doing whatever He tells us. Soon, He will reveal to us what He ultimately wants us to do in life.

God will send us to our place of employment so He can work with us and confirm His word in us. His goal is to use us to make that place prosper. He wants to distinguish us from the other employees. He wants us to live a life of power, meaning He will confirm His word in us through signs.

In life we all have to go through things. What we do while we are going through will be revealed at the end. If we allow God to help us, we won't look like what we have been through. If we focus on the negative while enduring, we may become a negative person. Allow God to comfort you while you are going through the hardships of life.

The enemy will use our desire to please God against us through deception. Many times the enemy will give us an idea or thought behind a move of God and spiritualize this idea. Can this idea stand alone? if not, it is not from God. Our ability to distinguish between an instruction from God followed by an instruction from the enemy will be vital to us reaching our destiny.

When we are serving, are we ministering from our soul or the Spirit? Ministering from the soul or flesh looks like the Spirit. When playing, singing, teaching or preaching from the soul it always connects to a person's intellect and emotions. This makes them feel good but it has no power. When one minister's by the Spirit, they are uplifted and they see their issues from God's point of view resulting in deliverance, salvation and healing.

Divine connections are made by God when He joins two individuals together. Sometimes the relationship will be  father-son (mother-daughter), brothers or sisters, and husbands and wives. Divine connections are always a two way street, meaning it will be beneficial for both parties. However, the enemy will try to strategically influence us to sever these connections.
