Always Audacity!

By

“Then at last the Lord said to me, ‘You have been wandering around in this hill country long enough; turn to the north. Deu.2:2-3

Principle of The Offensive can only be ignited with audacity. You cannot be on the offensive if you are not courageous. You need courage. Fredrick the Great puts it this way, “L’audace, l’audace, et toujours l’audace” [translation: Audacity, audacity, and always audacity]. You need to put this statement in front of you, see it before you sleep and when you get up before you go out, see it again. “Audacity, audacity, and always audacity”. Courage is always expressed in the willingness to go forward. God is saying to you, go forward. Attack! You have been round this mountain long enough.

The military will tell you that the most essential quality of a general will always be courage. Who is the general of your life? You are. You must have active courage. For instance, my spiritual son called me one day and was lamenting. What was his issue? There was this girl he wanted to marry and the girl really liked him. They had a good relationship but every time he goes to see her, they would sit on a table and play board games. The girl kept waiting for him to take the relationship to the next level but he did not. Long story short, some other man that the girl also liked but not as much as she liked my son, came and attacked, pestered her, bought her roses, took her out. She was reluctant initially, hoping my son would step up. But the other man bamboozled her with love and she committed to him. Then my son called me and was asking me what he should do. I was upset; I said, “Who is your father? You cannot tell a lady your intentions”? He said when he is with her he gets tongue-tied. I said let that tongue be untied and woo that girl, in Jesus Name. Come on, you are frustrating the girl. Just tell her your heart; you will not die.

Active courage is a part of courage. Every war general must also have moral courage - the ability to control yourself. The ability to say no to excesses and walk away from things that are enticing. It will save your life. “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls” Prov.25:28. Anyone and anything can attack you but you must have the courage to say no to pornography, stealing, lying and anything that will defile you.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please grow me in active and moral courage, in Jesus Name

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
