(From a Zoom meeting in 2020) Is there a way to immediately get God's attention when you are in dire need? It is not passive praying. It will take you far from your comfort zone into the secret place between you and God alone.

Is there a block in your receiver? God can be completely good and full of blessings but if we are not receiving from Him it won't do us any good. And worse yet, if we do not have a character of God worked out we will receive more of what the enemy is saying than what God is saying. 

Have you experienced the advantage Holy Spirit? We all as believers have been promised the Holy Spirit but has the promise become reality in your life? The Holy Spirit is the person that makes all the difference in our lives. Peter went from being so afraid he denied Jesus to a servant girl on the night of the crucifixion but after Pentecost, Peter was a changed man. He now had the boldness to call the city of Jerusalem to repentance.  

Is there a clog in your pipeline to God? Some people say it's not always God's will to heal...but don't get into verbal religious garbage. God has answers to whatever we face, but the way to get healed might be a little different than what you are expecting. God has a way to get the clogs out of your pipeline.  

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.
