Real Life Church: God is the God of the Bible

There are lessons in life that we need to learn. First, a person may be doing all the right things, and yet meet with trouble and distress; secondly, that we must never no matter how good things are, do not put out trust in circumstance; and thirdly, wickedness may prosper for a while, but cannot prosper always. We need to believe the report of the Lord that says in Psalm 23:5 that the Lord prepares a table before me in the presence of our enemies because the enemies are attempting impossibilities.

We need to defeat the spirit of control. In Life there are some enemies you can't simply walk away from and there are some you need to learn to walk through. If that spirit of control intimidate you, you will never confront it, you will empower it, you will become its Ahab. You can not win a spiritual battle by natural means.

The Seed is the Word of God. We need to plant that word in our heart and not our mind. Once the Word is planted then we need to water it by speaking it. Speaking it daily so that it will grow and be manifested in our lives

Who is Jezebel? Just an ancient queen? No, Jezebel is a spirit that is alive and functioning in our world today. It is a diabolical opponent of your dream and purpose. To defeat this creature we must learn to discern so we can position ourselves to defeat it.

Always remember that God is preparing you for that which HE has prepared for you. There are some enemies you have to defeat and one of those enemies is a creature that goes by the name Jezebel.

Staying the Course means to continue moving in the correct direction or toward the intended destination and it also means to persevere with as much determination, energy, or fortitude as one can until the end of a race, competition, or contest. God has charted a course for each of us, but to continue moving in the correct direction we must constantly adjust, alter, resist and press onward. 

The book of Ephesians speaks about the love story between God and his Church and that story reveals that Christ did not only give himself for the Church, but he also gave various gifts so that the Church would come to a place of maturity and fullness.

We should knock with the expectation that God will answer/open your door in due season because He's the Good Father. We need to keep our expectations high cause if we expect nothing we will get nothing. The spirit of Grace says I'm bringing you to the door, keep knocking, opposition is surrounding keep knocking . . .

Faith obtains what grace provides, the enemy can't defeat grace. As long as we walk in faith, we have the victory. We are told to fight the good fight of faith.

The immature lack the ability to differentiate between what they need and what they want. Obtaining wants at the expense of needs will result in our suffering, but if we focus on and get what we need we can then enjoy what we want.
