THE BATTLE IS YOURS!
Matt 18; . 19. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
If two of us agree what will happen. Our Father in heaven will do what we agree on. RIGHT??
SPECIAL NOTE? Gen 11: 6. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
When the people are ONE nothing will be with held from them. BUT
There is an exception- what is it?
When it involves a person or a group of peoples.
Lets go to-- Mark 2: 3. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. When Jesus saw whose faith? The four men.
11. I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
12. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all;
The faith of the four brought the man to HEALING<>
Though we can stand with a person or family etc for a need of faith it is in the end a personnel thing, a personnel battle, war. AGREE
It is YOU that must put the end faith to work it is you that has to receive the end results of THAT FAITH>
Eph 6: 13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
WHO WHO must put on the armour of God and WHO must do the standing to reaceive the results.
We nor I, can do it for each of us it is ME that has to do. To receive!!
Mark 11; 23. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
AGAIN: Who is it that must say, Who is it that can not doubt in their heart, Who is it that says what shall come to pass, and Who shall have whatsoever THEY say………YOU me
As the little song says ITS ME ITS ME OH LORD STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER. Not my brother nor my sister but me OH Lord.
James 4; 7. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
One more time who is it that must SUBMIT and resist the enemy so that he will flee from them………ITS ME YOU the one in need.
AT the same time as in Exod 17 : 11-12 Aaron and Hur held up the arms of Moses when he was weary. It is up to each of us to help hold up and strengthen each other when they grow weak and weary until they are strengthen again and can do it on their own.
All this works only one way and that is faith ( confidence, assurance) in what the word of Jehovah (God) the RHEMA says to us about that SISTUTATION.
NOW lets see a good example of this in the Word.
Go to- Acts 12:
1. Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also.
SO here was PETER in the hands of Herod the king, and Peter knew that Herod had beheaded John, and the same fate was coming his way tomorrow. NOTE:
Verse 6. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison
Can you imagine yourself asleep knowing that tomorrow you would be killed and as of now there was no means of escape …..chained between two guards. And ME asleep…… I think not
SO HOW DID PETER manage to be so relaxed that he could sleep knowing that tomorrow was his last day alive??
Lets go to-- John 21: 18. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
Jesus speaking to Peter telling him how he would die, and it was by the cross.
So here was Peter before Herod and was being told that tomorrow his head was to be removed from his body… can you imagine Peter asking Herod, now tell me again. What is going to happen tomorrow-- YOU king are going to have me beheaded is that Right? YES YES tomorrow you will die by the sword removing your head…..
You think that maybe Peter went to the cell with a little bit of Joy (Nehi 8;10) in his heart, maybe even singing a little song that “I am a winner, I will conquer, the ENEMY is going to lose again” I will not die tomorrow because Jesus told me so.
Just like Peter we should have the word of God established in our hearts and when the enemy comes against us WE can have peace knowing that HE IS FAITHFUL (Heb 13;10) That promised us. WE WIN and OVERCOME because Jesus Said so thru the Rhema word spoken to us in FAITH (Rom 10:17)
