Learning By Fighting
Most of us have heard of the phrase, “Learning by doing.” For some of us, reading does not work. We have to do the doing for it to work. It is the same in part for us as believers. If we will “do the work” we can learn from that as well. What is the work? It is to do battle with the enemy. But it is not a battle of triumph and glory, but of faith and peace. We walk out our Father’s commands, and that declares Him in this earth. When we declare Him in the earth, we eventually defeat darkness and make a way for us to all be victorious. That was always the plan.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
We have to do the work. We can do it if we will say it first.
Deuteronomy 30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
What we say creates a space for our minds to think and our bodies to walk. When we say it, we begin the process of doing battle.
Today, let’s say what our Father said.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah!Let Your kingdom be established hear through us, Your people. Let Your power be revealed. Send us now Your overwhelming provision, such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our minds, washing them clean and pure. Heal our hearts in the same way. Heal our bodies. deliver us from the thief that kills, steals, and destroys, smiting the enemy with Your angels. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. We love You, Yahuah. You are our King! We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
