All around us are evidences of death through signs of poverty, barrenness, drought, and disease. We have become almost immune to the looks, sounds and feelings of the dying process. I believe that it is the saints finest hour to eradicate and eliminate signs of death while we celebrate and embrace signs of life!

 

In order to continue to make 2008 the year of new beginnings, we must correct what is wrong and expect what is right! The prophets throughout the ages had to sound the trumpet before mute ears of despair listeners until it released an awakening zeal of the people to take charge and demand life!

 

What is keeping you from living well or from marching into your promised place of destiny? Below are some points the Holy Spirit gave me to share with the people of God:

 

1. Rebuke Recession and Promote Progression! Stand and speak against the false voices of demotion, depression and recession. The enemy wants you to live in perpetual lack and reduction. He wants there to be a retardation of economic activities. I am persuaded as reported in Ecclesiastes 3:6 that there is a time to gain and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away."  We can't keep losing and never gain. We must declare a prayer warrior's proclamation and demand increase, abundance and multiplication! "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit." (James 5:17-18) The fervent and effectual prayers of a righteous man avails much! (James 5:16) 

 

2. Stimulate Your Thinking! If your dreams are shattered and your thoughts are scattered, perhaps, it is time to refocus and remold them. The biggest enemy could be the image of ourselves. The worst nation to guard against is not a foreign country but the imagination!  The Bible tells us to cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. We do this by bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.(2 Cor.10:5) Arrest and lock up those loose and ungodly thoughts. Now release your mind with a Spirit controlled mentality. The Bible tells us to "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 2:5) and to think on those things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of a good report. We are to meditate on things that are either of virtue or praiseworthy. (Phil. 4:8) Corrupt thinking can lead to a slow death.

 

3.Eliminate Stress Factors! In order to live healthy and productive lives, we must release the toxins that try to poison our systems. There is an intriguing account in Acts: 28:1-10 in which the Apostle Paul was building a fire on a cold and rainy island. Suddenly a viper leapt out of the heat and attacked Paul's hand. No doubt it was spewing poisonous venom into the apostle's body. The witnesses stood in disbelief waiting for Paul to swell and drop dead. But, instead of "blowing up" and dying, Paul started shaking and releasing that creature back into the fire! Paul made an effort to live! Those same hands were later used to heal a notable citizen of that land and many others on the island who had diseases. In order to live and stay productive you must drop the weights and the waste. "...let us lay aside every weight and the sin that does so easily beset us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith..." Hebrews 12: 1-2) You must fulfill your purpose and destiny!
