Father God, Your word says that You have given us authority over all the power of the enemy. Father God, I bind the spirit that is causing goodbyeyesterday's father to be abusive and send it back to the sender. Father God, I plead Psalm 91 over where they are right now. Father God, send Your Holy angels to fight in their defense and to protect them from the schemes of the enemy. The enemy will not prevail because he is defeated by the power and the name of Jesus Christ. At the NAME of Jesus every knee bows and demons tremble. There is power in the Name that pierces through bones and marrow. It's as powerful as a two-edged sword. He is Your word become flesh. And by His Name, satan is defeated. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen
Four Habits to Strengthen Your Faith Four Habits to Strengthen Your Faith “Spend your time and energy in the exercise of keeping spiritually fit. 1 Timothy 4:7 If you want God to use you, then practice the habits that strengthen your faith. The Bible says in the Living Bible paraphrase, “Spend your time and energy in the exercise of keeping spiritually fit” (1 Timothy 4:7). I wonder how many people wake up thinking, “I get to exercise today!” I certainly don’t. But I do know that we all need both physical and spiritual exercise. I also know this about exercise I want the most benefit I can get out of every minute I exercise, whether it’s physical or spiritual. To get the most out of your spiritual exercise, practice these four spiritual habits that will strengthen your faith. Study the Bible. You need to study the Bible for yourself. You can’t depend on someone else’s study of God’s Word. You need to spend time in it on your own. The Bible says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NLT). God’s Word is the “get ready” manual for life. If you want to get ready for God to use you, you’ve got to study the Bible. Read books that help you grow spiritually. Proverbs 19:8 says, “Do yourself a favor and learn all you can” (GNT). That means learning from God’s Word and from people who have faithfully followed him—books that inspire you, challenge you, and strengthen your faith. Write out your testimony. The Bible says in 1 Peter 3:15, “Always be ready to answer everyone who asks you to explain about the hope you have” (NCV). Just like nobody else can study the Bible for you, nobody else can tell your story. There are four parts to a testimony what your life was like before you came to Christ, how you realized you needed Christ in your life, how you committed your life to Christ, and what your life is like now. Join a small group. Encourage each other and build each other up Thessalonians 5:11When it comes to strengthening your faith, few things compare to regular contact with a small group of believers you know and trust. If you are not in a small group, find people you can share life with and who will support you as you grow in faith. These four habits will help you stay spiritually fit so that you’re ready for God to use you. Which one will you start practicing this week? Talk It Over Why do you think the process of writing down your testimony is helpful? What are some ways you and your small group can help each other grow in faith? How can you make reading Christian books more engaging and fit it in your schedule?
