7 – The Spirit of God

14 – Generational Promises and The Fear of the Lord

So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. Romans 7:14 NLT

Warring for the Promises\n

If you\u2019re going to get your upgrade and go to the next level, you cannot rebel against God in your wilderness experience \u2013 which is easy to do as the wilderness is hard! If you\u2019re like me, you get tempted to run away from God and the processes you find painful. Instead, you must run to Him!\n

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.\n

\u2013 Proverbs 18:10\n

How you act in the wilderness determines if you spend 40 days like Jesus did, or 40 years, like Moses. It is really up to you! It is so important you learn to live and be happy in God\u2019s presence because in the wilderness, the battle is about survival. The Promised Land is about advancing.\n

The enemy of dreaming, of creativity and forward, is survival. God wants you to get through your wilderness so you can get past surviving and get on with thriving. To do this, the enemy must be displaced.\n

Know this: that place is in God\u2019s amazing presence in the wilderness. It\u2019s where He changes you from a helpless slave to an overcoming warrior.\u00a0\u00a0Instead of learning to protect yourself, God wants to teach you how to fight. To battle for His promises, His goodness, hearing His voice and for territory in which to glorify Him. He wants to make you dangerous to the enemy and willing to fight for more of Him.\n

God is speaking courage into you. To move into your Promised Land, you will have giants who try to keep you from advancing. No matter how loud they roar, know that God is bigger. Trust in God\u2019s promises as you advance into the place He has for you. Run to Him!\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Warring for the Promises

I am not a victim who is barely surviving. I am a victorious child of the Lord Most High who wants all good things for me. I know that when things seem hard, He is still with me and giving me courage. I choose to run to Him so I can be in His presence.
