Overcoming Defeat

Journey Into The Promised Land

John 1:1–14 (CSB)

PROLOGUE

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. In him was life,, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.,

10 He was in the world, and the world was created through him, and yet the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, he gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in his name, 13 who were born, not of natural descent, or of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.

14 The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

The Infallible, Impregnable Word

One day I was sitting in my kitchen at home in San Diego, California. All of a sudden I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I turned around to look, but there was no one there. Then the presence of God engulfed me and God spoke. He said, “Son, tell My people that everything that can be shaken is going to be shaken. Tell them to fix their faith on that which cannot be shaken.”

When you fix your faith on that which cannot be shaken, no theologian can destroy your position. No one can come along with a passing doctrine and sway you this way or that until you are in absolute confusion.

Receive this into your spirit: There is only one power in the world that cannot be shaken. It’s not the power of governments nor the power of men’s minds. It is the power of the Word of the Living God:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” (John 1:1,3)

Put these two words into your spirit:

One: Infallible which means, “no margin for error.”

Two: Impregnable, which means “impossible to be taken by assault.”

The Word of God is infallible. That means it will never fail you. The Word of God makes you impregnable. That means the devil can throw anything and everything at you he wants to, but you can’t be taken because your faith is fixed on that which will never fail.

When you hear someone say that it is not God’s will for them to be well, you know they have bought the biggest lie the devil ever told. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that it is God’s will for you to be sick or afflicted. I have heard people go so far as to believe they are suffering their afflictions for Christ. This is worst yet, for then you are saying that what Christ suffered was not enough and you have been called to complete His work.

Did Jehoshaphat waver at the command of God? Did he sit down and say, “Now I wonder if it really is the will of God to deliver Judah from the hand of the enemy? Maybe we ought to really consider this for some time, because we certainly don’t want to go out and defeat the enemy if it is not God’s will.”

Sound silly? Yes, but no more silly than a born-again, Spirit filled Christian saying, “I wonder if it really is the will of God for me to have victory over this sin in my life? I wonder if it really is the will of God to save my husband or wife or bring back that wayward, prodigal son or daughter?”

Make this declaration:

I will fix my faith to that which cannot be shaken: The infallible impregnable Word of God.
