Starve
Out The Devil!
*
Fasting
for 40 Days from all forms of criticism, irrational fear, unbelief, and negative
speech.
Get filled with faith and godly expectations.
Isaiah 58:6-9 "Is this
not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the
heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke?
Is
it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the
poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide
yourself from your own flesh?
Then your light shall break forth like the
morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall
go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall
cry, and He will
say, 'Here I am.'
Your
fasting must be in letting the oppressed go free. One way to do this is through
your halting all
criticism,
irrational fear, unbelief, and negative speech This
is part of the fast the Lord requires of us . . .
Scripture
teaches about fasting that looks like this:
In like manner,
let us go
forth into a PRAYER STORM of silencing the voice of the enemy. It's time we come together and
to starve out the spirit of criticism,
irrational fear, and unbelief that is on the loose in these days through a fast.
Not a fast of food or drink but a fast of critical, unbelieving, negative
speech. Please join
with me to shut the enemy down. Seldom will be heard a discouraging word as we glorify the Lord. Let's
be salt and light!
Our weapons are divinely
powerful to the destruction of the enemy's strongholds. Let's fast from
these negative forms of speech and release the
opposite spirit and the nature of
Christ Jesus our Lord. Then let's lift a shout of High Praise that the victory
is the Lord's.
A SHARED
WORD FROM A SISTER IN CHRIST
Shanta
Mitchell
The Christian should ALWAYS us positive words when
speaking. The Bible lets us know that there is power, life and death in
the tongue but so many times we speak fear, negativity and death into our
situations and the situations of our loved ones. For instance, mothers
that are rooted and grounded forget that the word tells us
that we and our
household shall be saved; that if they raise their children up in the word when
they get older it will continue to dwell IN them. However, when a little
bit of trouble hits they let the devil have their children by the words they
speak...."you can't seem to stay out of trouble", "why is
this happening to my family?", "you aren't going to ever get off drugs"
and on and on an on. Instead of saying things like. "Greater is
He that is in you than he that is in the world", "The word declares
that you are the head and not the tail", "You can do all things
through Christ who strengthens you" Saying these things even when
you don't physically see them happening and when the end seems like destruction
is living my faith and God's holy word. God is not a man that He should lie and He loves it when we totally remind Him of His word.
And
here are the words that came forth today
EXPECT
I
have promised that all your needs shall be met, and that I will not turn a deaf
ear to your cries,
when you call I will hear and answer.
I want you to start expecting to receive an answer.
Expect to hear my
voice, expect to be blessed. Why do
you pray and don�t get ready to be blessed?
You pray without expectation. My
promises are true.
I
need you to trust Me. Let me Lead
and guide you.
I long to whisper words of love and affection in your ear.
I promised that I wouldn�t leave you comfortless.
You must believe that what you have asked for will come to
past.
Trust
in Me, don�t be moved by what you see, and don�t be moved by what you feel.
Be confident that I have risen in your midst to bring healing, to bring
salvation,
to bring victory and council to those in need.
Even now I am interceding for you
and My Father always heareth My
prayers. I expect you to pray to
Me,
you must expect to receive your blessings.
Know
that I have heard your prayers and I am bringing all that you ask to past.
I am bringing about a complete change in your life.
Trust in Me and believe that I am faithful to do those things that I have
promised to do.
Expect Me to bring the natural in alignment with the
spiritual.
I am the God of Abraham,
of Moses, of Isaac, is there anything too hard for Me?
Expect
to be blessed
THE WORD OF THE LORD TODAY
Patsy Shelton
I
WILL HEAR YOU WHEN YOU CALL
Psalm 4:3-8 Selah. But know that
the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I
call unto him. Stand in awe, and
sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
and put your trust in the LORD.
There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light
of thy countenance upon us. Thou
hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their
wine increased. I will both lay me
down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
My people in their
hearts know that when they call, I hear. But then fear, doubt, and unbelief
begin to creep in, and they don't believe that I will answer. So I give you
this
day a key to entering into standing and believing, until you have received
the answer.
First you must stand in awe of who I am, Knowing in your heart that all that
concerns you, concerns Me. Knowing that I will never leave you or forsake you, and that all things are possible with Me. Then when this is established in your
heart, the sin of fear, doubt, and unbelief will not enter in. But it must be
reinforced; you must commune with your own heart.
You must recount even the miracles that I have worked for you in the past, knowing that in this day and in this time, that I am doing greater things than I
did yesterday. I will withhold no good thing from you. When you needed divine
provision, I provided.
When you needed healing, I came to your rescue, and
brought My healing touch. When you needed deliverance,
I was there to take you from the snare of the fowler. Have I ever failed you?
No, and I will not fail you now.
But, you must establish this in your mind, and then commune with your heart. Your mind and your heart must come into agreement. You must speak the wondrous
things that I have done and am doing, out loud because faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by My word.
Not only the words that I have spoken to your heart, but
by My written word. Then you must be still, and meditate on these things, that
they might take root, in your heart, and not be an empty confession, but they
will become a reality in your
soul.
Casting down vain imaginations, and every
thing that exalts itself above Me. Then you will be rooted and grounded, and
fear,
doubt, and unbelief will not enter it. It will create a wall around your
mind, and your heart that cannot be
penetrated, and you will sin not.
Expectancy and anticipation will fill your heart. Then the light of My
countenance will shine upon you, and gladness will fill your heart. And the
peace that passes all understanding will flood your being; you will lie down in
peace, and know I hold it all in My hand, and that I will withhold no good thing
from you.
In closing:
We are expecting the Lord to bless us, but before we
can be bless, we have to get ready to be blessed. We must remove all form of
evil speaking towards our fellowman; we must stop praying to God for one thing,
then taking the blessing back with our tongues. We can't expect God to bless us if we are not walking and
talking His Words.
Come on its time to walk the walk and talk the talk.
Stop complaining about your job, start thanking God
you have one. Stop complaining
about how your husband/wife treats you, start praying and thanking God for them. Stop talking about what some people are wearing, starting offering them
something better (if you have it). Stop
thinking that you won't be able to make it, and start praising the Lord for
waking you up this day. Stop complaining about how overweight you are and thank God that He has blessed you with food to eat. Stop talking about how bad you feel, and start thanking God that you have
feet to walk on, hands to feel, eyes to see, ears to hear, etc.
Let's starve out the Devil, let's send him
fleeing back to his little kingdom to be fed, let's not give him one ounce of
nourishment. STARVE HIM OUT!!!!!
SCRIPTURES
TO MEDITATE ON
Saying, Touch not mine
anointed, and do my prophets no harm. (I Chronicles 16:22, 22)
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in
authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; (1
Tim. 2:1-3,)
But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Mat 5:44)
Finally, whatsoever is true, whatsoever is honest;
whatsoever is pure, whatsoever is lovely and of a good report, t
hink on these
(Phil 4:8).
YOUR
CROSS
Whatever your cross. Whatever your pain
There will always be sunshine. After the rain
Perhaps you may stumble. Perhaps even fall
But God's always there, to help you through it all.
THE
HOLY SPIRIT
And all of
your prayers
