Overcoming Defeat

Journey Into The Promised Land

James 1:1–8 (CSB)

GREETING

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ:

To the twelve tribes dispersed abroad.,

Greetings.

TRIALS AND MATURITY

Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God—who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly—and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord, being double-minded and unstable in all his ways.,

Put Your Trust In God

For some time now, God has led us to conduct what we call Schools of Ministry, in conjunction with every Victory Miracle Crusade. As we go into cities throughout the world, it has been our opportunity to sit in a classroom atmosphere and teach those that come the revelation called The New Anointing.

The New Anointing is a message of action. You cannot hear it and sit still. It compels you to begin to use the spiritual weapons that are placed in your hands. The unique thing about these schools is that you are given the opportunity immediately to see if the principles of spiritual warfare you are given really work. My Jewish heritage, I think, has given me the attitude that I am not so interested in how high-sounding something may be — what I want to know is, does it really work?

After the people come out of the day sessions of the School of Ministry, they are brought into the evening crusade rallies and come face to face with every type of sickness, disease, and demonic power. Right there they can begin to use the weapons of spiritual warfare that Christ has given His Church. They see what they have been taught come to pass right before their eyes, in many cases because they have exercised the faith God has placed in their hearts.

Faith is action! Faith is positive, “For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord” (James 1:6-7).

Now, I am a man that thanks God for what we receive in the natural. I thank God for doctors, but isn’t it interesting that one day you’re told to take certain medicine and after you have taken it for fifteen years they tell you, “Oh, you’ve been taking the wrong thing. This drug causes such and such kind of disease. In fact, it could kill you.”

What am I trying to say? They are practicing physicians — they practice on you. Now I’m not being critical. There is nothing wrong with man learning from experience and advances in science, but I hope it will put the weakness and frailty of man into perspective.

You cannot trust in the arm of flesh…

…with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles… (2 Chronicles 32:8)

Put your trust today in Almighty God!

Make this declaration:

I will not trust in the arm of flesh. I will trust in Almighty God.
