Corrie Ten Boom was put into a concentration camp at the age of 52 for hiding Jews in her home in Holland. She was released from the camp because of a clerical error weeks before her age group was scheduled to be terminated. Her ministry began after her release. The Lord had an exciting life for her into her 90s. 

Every leader who has accomplished great things for the Lord has come under this attack. Many throughout history even believed God was the one putting it on them, but it is not true. Disparagement is a demonic attack, and one we must overcome.  

While we wonder if God's promises will come to pass in our lives, God wonders if we will pull down the fullness of what He has promised for our generation and the next. God’s view is different. Even when we have won many battles, God is looking at the territories yet to be taken. Most of our promises from the Lord are unattained, unoccupied, and not enjoyed. Once we’ve won our battles and defeated our enemies, there will be peace in the land. 

From the story of Deborah, Barak, and Yael. The battle you are in must be won in the heavens before it can be won on the earth. The problem we have today is that the heavens are warring but the men of earth, the believers, have refused to join the fight. The "humility" that leads to inaction is a sin. Just like with Yael, the battle has entered our tent. Will the men and women of God have the courage to fight? For when we fight it makes for peace in the land. 

Have you ever had a single day in your life without fear? Can you picture your life without fear? God commands us not to fear.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. -Psalm 34:4
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. -Joshua 1:9.
When God gives us a command to do something, He always gives us the power to accomplish it. 

Christianity is not a religion, it is an adoption. It is meeting Someone who changes your life forever. It is meeting your true Father. 

What is your assignment? What is God sending you out to do? God gives every one of us assignments. Gideon was working to keep his people's food from the enemy, but then God called him a "mighty warrior," and told him to tear down his father's idols. At first, the assignments are broad and for every believer. But when you are faithful with the broad assignments, then God will trust you with specific assignments. Then He will send you on assignments that only you have the training to accomplish.

Many are called but few are chosen. - Matthew 22:14. Could it be that many are called by God but few go through the training? Our training is in some way more important than the assignment because without the training we would fail in what the Lord is giving us to complete. It is what we learn on the shepherd's field that prepares us for the battlefield.

How does the Word taste, to you? Does the Word taste like medicine? Does the Word taste bland? Or does the Word taste like honey?  

The pages of history are rewritten when believers fast and pray. This week we discuss 4 examples of when Derek Prince fasted and prayed and major world events were changed. Now is the time to fast and pray for our nation and the nations around the world.
