The Gates of hell shall not prevail

Things are done blatently in front of us, strongholds are established, why? Because we are letting them.

Sure we are praying our prayers, "Lord heal, save, deliver, go there Lord...Do it Lord."

All the while the enemy walks among a weak neutered church.

We have been conditioned to believe that God meets with us at certain locations and at certain times. We are even conditioned to believe that God is stronger or more apt to heal, save and deliver at certain times during THOSE times.

We have a Omnipresent savior but we expect only Pool of Bethesda miracles, meaning "God only moves at a certain season and when He does we will know because the water is troubled."

We treat God as if He has to have a mood set and we beg as if healing, saving and delivering is our idea originally and we are trying to convince God of its merits.

You realize that we are begging God to do things that He already commanded and equipped us to do?

Country going to heck in a handbasket? Could it be because we self isolate inside spiritual ghettos we call churches?

Ever think that maybe...Just maybe we need to awaken to the authority we already possess and just OBEY what we have already been commanded to do?

"BUT BUT MAYBE ITS NOT GODS WILL!!!!"

I've never seen a scripture that says that God was pleased that people were sick, hell bound and in bondage.

Scripture after scripture I read where He healed them all. Even in the face of unbelief He was still able to work miracles.

I see time and time again where He was moved by compassion...The same spirit that was moved with compassion to heal...Isn't it inside us? Isn't this the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead and which will one day quicken our mortal bodies?
Isn't Jesus the same yesterday today and forever? If His goal was to give sight to the blind and set at liberty them that are bruised do you think that He somehow lost interest in that happening like someone losing interest in a hobby?

What part of the command to "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and cast out devil's" are we clueless on? Did He stutter? Did He change His mind? Oooooh I get it. You gotta have a special ministry, position, calling or annointing to do that and see...That's not my thing.

I dont see any scripture that gives us the option to opt out on this.

There are three possibilities here.

1.We are unaware of the commandments given to us.

2. We are aware but we are not being obedient.

3. The Bible is false and there is no such thing as authority and power over sickness and demonic strongholds and if that's the case we just need to close up shop.

Obedience is the fuel that runs the engine of faith.

Don't believe me?

Faith without works is dead.

Not faith in works or salvation by works but a faith THAT works.

If there is obedience in the gas tank of faith we aren't going anywhere.

With no obedience we are the crazy family member sitting out in a rusted out shell of a car that's on cinder blocks pretending we are going somewhere.


Yeah this is rubbing some people the wrong way but honestly I dont care. Watching demons manifest in your loved one that has been bound and tortured as a child will kinda break you out of the "Well let's not upset anyone and rock the boat" mentality.

You're saying, "That's some big talk...what are you doing about it?"

I'll tell you what I'm doing, I've turned off TV, movies and podcasts I used to binge on and I've dedicated myself to the Word.

We went to Walmart today and you know what we did? We prayed before we walked in that we would meet someone we could tell about the goodness of God.

We walked in and began to shop and we struck up a conversation with a grandmother with her grandkids.

We talked for about 10 minutes and as we were leaving she said,"God bless you."

That was my open door! Hehe

I turned around and before I could stop myself I blurted out,"Oh He has! He has healed my wife miraculously 4 times in the past 3 weeks!" I told her the details and how we prayed for her in Jesus name and she was healed instantly and her eyes got big in amazement.

Everytime we go out in public I'm going to be intentially looking for someone to witness to, pray for.

I have a neighbor I'm going to pray for tomorrow.

I'm obeying what God has commanded me to do through scripture and we are going to see healings and deliverences in Jesus name.

If not already you need to get plugged in to a local assembly. And, you need to guard against letting them "cool you down". Churches need more people like you, fresh off the mountain with a burning zeal for God and a white hot fervent love for souls.
