Voice of Alignment

The Holy Spirit is the greatest asset of any believer. That is because the Holy Spirit is the carrier of the power of God. Acts 1:8 says But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you. This power that we receive through the Holy Spirit is the power of God. Many believers carry this power, by virtue of the presence of the Holy Spirit in them. Yet some believers still find themselves as victims in spiritual battles. How can a carrier of God’s power be molested by the enemy? This is an anomaly, which results from ignorance. 

In this episode, you will learn three very important truths and realities which believers need to align with in order to demonstrate the power of God and exercise their authority in Christ in defeating the enemy.

An armed soldier that is ignorant of the power and capabilities he possesses is no different from a vulnerable and unarmed soldier. Some Christians are like a soldier armed with lethal and deadly weapons, who is running from an enemy that is carrying only a stick. As believers, we possess the power to defeat the enemy in any and every way he comes at us. Luke 10:19 says “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you”. But it is one thing to have this authority, and it is another thing to be conscious of this authority and power, and its potency.

In this episode of the Voice of Alignment Podcast, we continue on our series on “Nuggets for Winning Spiritual Battles” by focusing on understanding the power that has been made available to us to overcome the enemy. Without understanding the power we carry as believers, we will lack the confidence and faith to deploy the weapons of our warfare against the enemy.

One of the greatest traps or tragedies that a believer or Christian will fall into is the illusion that there are no spiritual battles to fight for a believer. Salvation does not exempt us from spiritual battles. As a matter of fact, if you see someone who claims to be a Christian and does not encounter spiritual battles, you should question his or her salvation because it simply means that the enemy does not count such a person worthy of being opposed. In other words, there is nothing precious that person has to warrant confrontation from the enemy. In John 10:10 Jesus said “the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy”. Thieves go after value. So if as a believer, there is nothing for the enemy to contend with in your life, including your salvation, then there is a problem. So spiritual battles are real. BUT, more real is our victory and dominion over these battles. 

In this episode (Episode 29) we begin a series on Nuggets for Winning Spiritual Battles by establishing the fact that even though spiritual battles are real, we (as believers) have a greater reality of our victory and dominion over the enemy.

Faith is an indisputable part of the Christian Faith. Romans 1:17 says that the just shall live by faith. Faith is so crucial that without, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). The entire essence and benefit of Christianity cannot be enjoyed without faith. This is how important faith is. But no matter how great our faith is, without action or work, it is dead. Action is like the spirit of Faith. James 2:26 says, “for as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also”.

In this episode, we continue on our series on faith by focusing on the third component of faith, which is action. In this episode, you will learn the importance of actions (or works) when it comes to faith. You will also learn the types of actions that you need to take in order to make your faith active and alive.

One of the fundamental requirements of faith is a level of belief that is immune and resistant to doubt. Nothing cripples faith like doubt. Doubt and fear are like viruses that attack faith, and drain our faith of its potency. Even when we believe the word of God, we need a level of belief that is sustainable and lasts. When we believe God (and His word) today, and we doubt tomorrow, we become unstable. James 1:7 tells us that with such instability, we cannot receive anything from God. Conviction is that level of belief that is immune to doubt and fear. In the equation of faith what you need is conviction, which is a level or dimension of belief that is immune to doubt. 

In this episode we continue our series on faith, as we take a deep dive to explore conviction, and how it helps to build a faith that is strong and sustainable. You will also learn three very important ways through which we can build conviction, which will help our faith to become stronger.

Faith is so critical in the life of a believer. In Hebrews 11:6, the bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. In Romans 1:17, the bible tells us that the righteous will live by faith. Faith must be at the core of any genuine Christian life. Fatih, however, is a phenomenon that must have its root in the word. In other words, any form of faith that has no Word of God as its basis is fake. Romans 10:17 clearly tells us that faith comes from the Word of God. 

In this episode, you will learn how you can anchor your faith in the Word of God. Faith cannot be based on what you have known or seen about God. It has to be based on what God has said, either via His written Word (which is the scripture) or via his spoken word to you. You will also learn the significance of the Word of God in the equation of faith, and why God honors genuine faith which has its root or basis in the Word of God.

Faith is an essential ingredient in the life of any believer. That is because without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Faith is God’s pleasure stimulant. Like salt, faith is what we need to add to anything we do for God in His kingdom, for it to be pleasing and acceptable before God. This is how important faith is. 

Many times, we see faith as something we need only when we need something from God. But faith is more than this. For a believer, faith has to be a lifestyle. Romans 1:17 says that the just shall live by faith. And in this episode, you will see how we can live by faith, as a lifestyle.

Over the past five episodes, we have look at six (6) principles of a divine breakthrough. When I checked the dictionary, I found that a principle is a fundamental truth that serves as the foundation for a system or belief. So these principles are like fundamental truths on how we can position for divine breakthroughs. 

In this episode, we end this series on the Principles of a Divine Breakthrough, by looking at the last principles. That last principle we will be talking about in this series is, the Principle of Faith. In this episode, you will learn what faith is, in simple terms, and how it works. You will also see how you can acquire faith that moves God to act, and deliver a divine breakthrough to you.

The limitation of humanity is at the core of the necessity of divine breakthrough. Man is limited in his capacity….and so there are often desires that men have, which are beyond their effort and resources. But while man is limited in his capacity, God is limitless in his capacity. God speaking in Jeremiah 32:27 said, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” In Matthew 19:26 Jesus said, “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” So when a limitless God steps into the situation of a limited man or woman, a divine breakthrough is what you get. 

In this episode, we expand on one of the previously covered principles, as we explore alignment with God’s Kingdom agenda. We see how aligning with the will and agenda of God for His kingdom, or with the agenda of God on Earth per time, positions us in a place where God becomes as committed to our breakthrough as he is, to His agenda and His Kingdom.

Divine Breakthroughs are simply a product of alignment will scriptural principles that position us to receive a breakthrough from God. In this episode, we continue our series on the principles of divine breakthroughs. 

In this episode, we share two more principles of a divine breakthrough, which are critical to sustaining a divine breakthrough. You will also learn the importance of time in God’s equation of the delivery of a divine breakthrough.
