Resilient Truths

Dr. Bell discusses the pros and the cons of confusion. The answer to confusion is to regain focus. A believer must focus on the things of God in order to manage a life of faith. The enemy causes distractions by causing one to be confused. The confusion hinders the plan of God in the individuals life. It is crucial that one must reside in environments and with those who maintain clarity.

Dr. Bell teaches on sowing and reaping. Breaking down the parable about the Sower. She talks about the seed and what a seed is. How to sow and when to sow. Some are not receiving a harvest because they may be sowing out of season.

When the word is received on good ground it causes a conversion. There is a manifestation in our behavior.

Dr. Bell concludes the study on enemies. Enemies come into our life to either teach us a lesson or test us on what we’ve learned. Enemies come to stir us up. Enemies come to lead us on the path that God has for our life. Enemies come to expose a door or a blessing. Sometimes enemies will cost us something. The blessing is in the release.

The enemy can show up in five areas of our life in our relationships, possessions, our health, our friendships, and our finances. Often times to release the enemy in our life we have to let go of some possessions. Sometimes we have to let go of certain things in our lifestyle to improve our health. Often times we have to lose some friendships that are not benefiting us or allowing us to move forward in the call that God has on our life. And other times we may have to release some things or some desires, some wants in order to manage our finances. There are times we have to go and do more in order to gain the finances, we need to manage our household.

Nevertheless, the enemy comes to stir up the situation and circumstances in our life to lead us to that thing that we need in our life.

So, when we see an enemy, we are to act like James and count it all joy . Because again the enemy comes to promote you. 

Dr. Bell talks about God sending a strong delusion to stir us up and get our attention. Often times the struggles we go through are not sent by the enemy but sent by God. God uses the adversary for His glory and to turn His people around when they find themselves going astray. Even to test them and stretch their faith.

Dr. Bell discusses enemies. Enemies are used by God to promote elevation in our lives. Enemies devise plans to destroy or hold us back. They cause distractions and destruction in our lives to knock us off course.

Enemies can come into our lives as strangers trying to scam our identity and our money. Enemies hide the spoils. An enemy will block the blessing of God for your life. We are to trust God and go through the process. Enemies will cause you to be stagnant and not be able to take the leaps of faith to achieve the blessing of God for your life.

Enemies come to teach you a lesson. Learn the lesson and receive the blessing.

Dr. Bell continues the study on divination. She shares that leaning to our own understanding and finding solace in the works of the flesh is divination and against God. She shares various ways that people can use divination to and manipulate and oppress to gain their ways.

Ministry is making an impact in your community. It is not simply changing the mindset of others with a good message. But it is practicing the message on a level where lives are changed to be able to change others. It is not simply standing on a soap box in front of others spewing attitude and arrogance to anyone who will listen. Ministry causes change in others. Ministry causes transitioning and leads to transformation in the lives of others.

Ministry is noticing a need and doing whatever it takes to cover the needs of others. Ministry is not being codependent upon others. Enemies appear to help create the impact in your life. Without friction there can be no power. The adverse situations in your life cause the friction needed to propel one to their expected end. Enemies come to uncover your blessings. Behind your enemy is a door that may present your throne where you are to reign as king or queen. There may be a position where you will be in second command to help provide for your nation or your community. You may embark on a journey to a place where you will open your eyes and be given the land before you. The enemy is there to hide the blessing. He is there to cover the purpose. To keep it from you.

The enemy uses trauma and causes adversities to try and destroy the purpose in the individual. The enemy fights for who you are destined to become, not for the individual that you are. He trembles at your purpose and tries to stop it by causing stumbling blocks in hope that you will give up. Who is facing adversity today? Guard your blessing.

Dr. Bell talks about tolerating the disrespect of others. Even in ministry, no one is to be treated less than any other. She talks about how people use others for their glory and reject the ones whom they are using.

Christianity is not about walking through life as a doormat. But understanding who we are in Christ. We cannot be an ambassador for Christ while we are allowing the enemy to run havoc in our lives. This is why we are to shake the dust off our feet as a testimony against those who do not receive us.

Divination is witchcraft. Rebellion. Stubbornness. It is rituals and works of the flesh. It is seeking other gods. It is observing days and things to celebrate. It is practicing astrology, tarot cards, horoscopes, Ouija boards, psychics, love of money, and such.

It is seeking divine and counsel from anything besides God. It is soliciting power from another that does not belong to God. We are not to reverence anything with our bodies, because our bodies are the temple of God.

Dr. Bell teaches how to seek God and receive the benefits. She explains how walking in the will of God pulls on the grace of God to supply those things that we need. She explains that anyone who believes the word of God and studies for themselves is given the authority by God to receive the interpretation of God because it comes from him.

She teaches that we are to go to God for everything because God is a jealous God. He will not support anything or anyone beside Him. When we ask others our lean to our own understanding to fulfill our needs, God allows us to receive what we need from the other resources. God supplies our need when we treat Him as our source.

God leads and guides us into all truths. He knows our purpose and how we are supposed to walk in our purpose. For us to find our purpose, we must go to Him. He is the one who created us for the purpose that He has designed for our life.

God provides according to your level of faith. God is waiting on you to make it through the process to receive what you need. God does not want anyone to live less than anyone else. God is no respect of person. God will not allow you to receive anything that may be detrimental to you, nor will He give His blessings to those who are not in His will for their life. Sin will keep the blessings of God away from people who are reveling in the flesh.

Trusting God within the moment that you have and not worry about what the next day will bring. You may be clouding up the present with cares of the world and you are not even around on that day. Trust God for your provision today.
