Scripture reading: Psalm 51:6

There is a song we sing and it says:

Faith in the Father and faith in the Son,
Faith in the Holy Ghost, victories are won,
Demons will tremble and sinners awake,
Faith in Christ Jesus will anything break.

Do you believe that? Do you believe that faith in Christ Jesus will break anything? The end of our salvation is faith. The beginning is faith and the end is faith. Praise God. There is no space in between to lack faith or lay faith aside. It is the beginning and the end of our salvation. Amen. So, he that endureth to the end shall be saved (Matthew 10:22). He that endureth to the end shall be saved. Make sure that we are enduring, because we have the faith to tear down mountains, the strongholds that are in our lives, and all the ancestral spirits that plague our lives. Hallelujah.

But I have discovered that there is something we have to make sure that is anchored in us, and that is truth in the inward parts, because there is a thing that the enemy uses against us. He either condemns us or he makes us complacent and deceives us that all is well when it is not. So, as we have truth in the inward parts and we stand before the Lord, He brings to us a picture of where we are and what we are. There is a scripture that says, when you look as in a mirror, when you stand before the Lord and you see yourself, try not to forget what you have seen (James 1:23-24). Have you ever been praying and the Lord shows you you? He exposes your inward parts to you. And the Word says: don’t forget what you have seen. Always remember what you have seen, because when we stand before the Lord, He reveals us to us. Amen. That is a marvelous thing that the Spirit does, and we must not forget, we must not sweep it under the rug, we must deal with it until the last thread of it is gone and we can stand before the Lord. You see, one day, we will have to stand before Him. One day, we will have to give account for all that is done in this body (Hebrews 9:27).

So, as we hold on to faith, it will help us. It has helped us where we are, to where we are in spite of our failures and the battles that we fight. Some we win, some we don’t win. We don’t feel good when we don’t win. We want to have the victory and we are cast down, we get discouraged. That’s another tool of the enemy. But faith in Christ Jesus will anything break. So, if there is anything that you have that you feel that cannot be broken, you are being deceived. You have just not applied the weapon. David said that Abner died like a fool with his sword in his sheath (2 Samuel 3). We have the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17), that the devil hates, and God makes it so simple that you can use it anytime and anywhere. Praise God. Amen.

Thought for today: There is something we have to make sure that is anchored in us, and that is truth in the inward parts.
