The Bible does not say to run away from the enemy - we have no armor on our back! Don't run from the enemy, don't hide from disease. We are to take up our spiritual armor and engage in the spiritual war. The worst that can happen is that you die and go to heaven.
God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
God will give us Wisdom and Knowledge if we ask Him for it.
I am on a healing journey to discover all that God would have me know about healing. I feel like I am on this journey of discovery not only to be healed myself but to see others healed. God is preparing me for this work and I feel that it is very near.
Conviction from the Holy Spirit will help you discern between good and evil. All Conviction is from God and it will cause you to turn and face the problem. All condemnation is from Satan and it will cause you to run from the problem or hide in fear.
Power that comes from the Holy Spirit, Love that comes from God the Father and a sound mind which is the Word of God who is Christ Jesus.
Three rood causes of disease according to Henry Wright are:
1. Separation from God and His word, His person and His love
2. Separation from yourself - not accepting yourself, not loving yourself, guilt and condemnation.
3. Separation from others - breaches in relationships, hatred, bitterness, envy, jealousy, competition, performance, driveness, lack of nurturing, lack of love, and on and on the list goes
I believe that each one of these can be roadblocks to receiving healing from God as they can hinder your faith.
The beginning of healing is restoration.
-with God (in line with)
-with yourself (acceptance)
-with others (peace)
If someone is holding a sin against you, it is their problem, not yours. They have to get it right before God just like you do.
Forget the past
Forget the future
Let God be God today in your life
James 5:16
Our homes should be homes of refuge for our familes and ones of peace.
Our enemies are: Fear, Self-Hatred, Guilt, Rage, Resentment, Condemnation, Denial, Bitterness, Anger
Bitterness has 7 spirits under it that reinforce that bitterness:
1. Unforgiveness (Hebrews 12:15) - Keeping a record of wrongs
2. Resentment - Meditating on the record of wrongs
3. Retaliation - Pay back for the wrong
4. Anger - Feelings of anger build up
5. Hatred - Meditating on all of the above
6. Violence - Wanting them to feel your pain from anger and hatred.
7. Murder - Physical or Character assasination - The final fruit of bitterness.
When ever we hate someone, gossip about them or slander them we are being used as a channel for Satan's work!
2 Timothy 1:7 and Hebrews 12:15
Guard against fear and bitterness
Jesus set the pattern of ministry - teach, preach, heal every sickness and disease and cast out evil spirits.
Faith is God's future for you - Fear is Satan's destruction of your faith and ultimately your future.
When you watch or listen to certain things you open your spirit up to the spirits of fear, anxiety, torment, tragedy and horror. You have a responsibility to guard your heart. When you watch sin on TV or listen to it on the radio and don't turn it off you are condoning it. You are an accessory to evil. You are desensitizing yourself to the spirit of God and condoning evil in your heart.
We are supposed to be establishing righteousness in the earth not enthroning evil.
Jesus said that we would do GREATER things than he did with the help of the Holy Spirit (John 14:12-14)
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Long term fear, anxiety and stress can destroy your immune system.
Isaiah 26:3 - Steadfast mind
2 Corinthians 10:5 - Captive mind
Take your every thought captive for Christ
Stay in Prayer - Stay in the Word, Learn the Word, Study the Word, Be led by the Spirit how He wants you to study, Study in the area you struggle with.

NOW!
Several times this week as well as last I have had strange squeaks escape my mouth. Very strange...almost like an old violin being dusted off and beginning to play.
I thank God for these moments- however brief they may be - of encouragment to press on til He has completed what He started in me.
Today I decided that if I am reading and it is pointed out to me that I am to deal with something then I will put down the book or quit what I am doing and deal with it right then and there instead of resolving to do it later and forgeting what it was or never getting around to it at all.
You are bought with the most valuable blook of Jesus Christ. Jesus sees a kingdom ruler in me! My body belongs to Jesus not to me. We were kidnapped/sold by/to Satan. The ransom has been paid in full and we have been bought back!

FORGIVE NOW!
DO IT NOW!
PRAY IT NOW!
SAY IT NOW!

Claiming God's Promises
Scriptural faith is a condition of the heart, not the mind. It is in the present, not the future. It produces a postive change in our behavior and experience. It is based solely on God's word, and accepts the testimony of the senses only when it agrees with the testimony of God's word. It is expressed by confession with the mouth.
Faith of this kind is the only basis of righteousness acceptable to God, and it must direct and control the entire course of the believer's life.
Claiming God's Promises:
1. Locate promise that fits your particular need
2. Meet all conditions attached to that particular promise
3. Claim the fulfillment of the promise by positive active faith.
Look What the God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Issac & Elizabeth has done!!
-Protected me when I was 8 hours old
-provided oxygen and protected my brain when I was 15 months old and again did not allow me to die while I was struggling to breath
-Protected me through everytime I went under anesthetic for both minor and major surgeries. Too many times to count
-God kept my family together and in His sight
-He remembered me as a teen and allowed me to stray on my own will and then graciously said "that is enough" by opening up my spiritual eyes to the spirit realm. After seeing the dark spirits in my room and speaking against them I knew following God was an active choice each day.
-God presents blessings and curses. Life and death. Now choose life so that you may live the abundant life.
-He choses a great husband for me. He is willing to be corrected and be brought back to God's word by a woman. Always faithful to me. Open to the spirit working with great measure in his life.

Given Scriptures
"A Christian who does not realize that he needs a greater degree of submission to God and more prompt obedience is on dangerous ground."
Lack of submission and lack of prompt obedience block our complete victory.
Verses given to me by the Signet Center on July 12, 2007
Ephesians 1:18
The eyes of your understanding be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Romans 8:15
For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba Father.
Romans 8:29
For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Joel 2:25-27
And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, praise the name of the Lord your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed. And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God and none else: and My people shall never be ahsamed.
Psalms 103:1-5
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.
Romans 8:32
He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Jeremiah 32:37-42
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, where I have driven them in My anger, and My fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: And they shall be My people, and I will be their God: And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: And I will make an everlasting convenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me. Yea, I will rejouice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with My whole heart and with My whold soul. For thus says the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
