Staying Focused

Focused on what you may ask? Focused on the Word of God. If you do not stay focused on the Word, and your circumstances become bigger than the Word that is in you, then you will succomb to your circumstances. Let me explain.

When you stay in the Word and you get the Word established (settled) into your heart, then no matter what the circumstances are the Word will be bigger. You will hear the Word rising up in your Spirit man, and you will not be able to hear (or see) the circumstances that are trying to rise up against you.

God will win out everytime. No matter what the battle you are facing. You just need to find in His Word where He says that battle has been fought and won already, and take hold of your victory.

Our Pastor said it like this Sunday. The Greatest Victory is on the other side of your worst battle. So just know when you think you are going through the worst possible fight you can imagine, recall what He says in His word about it, and stay focused on the Word and not the battle. And you will come out with the Victory on the other side. AMEN!

So if your battle is dealing with healing in your body, focus on what He says in IS 53, 1 Pet 2 v 24.

IS 53 v 5....But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.....

1 Pet 2 v 24.....Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness, by whose stripes you were healed....

If your battle is with finances read Proverbs 10, and Galatians 3 v 29, Gen. 17 v 7, and Gen. 15 v 1.

Proverbs 10 v 22...The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it....

Gal. 3 v 29...And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise....

Genesis 17 v 7....And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you......

Genesis 15 v 1...After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward....

If your battle is with others trying to steal your joy. Read 1 Cor 13, Phillipians 4.

1 Cor 13 v 4-8a.....Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy. love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails....

Phil 4 v 6-7.....be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.....

Above all else remember who you are in Christ Jesus. And stay focused on what He says you have, who He says you are and then give Him your battles and He will see your through to the other side.

Hebrews 13 v 5-6....Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say; "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear; What can man do to me?".....

There is a safe place for us when we rest in Him and meditate on His words. And there is always, always Victory on the other side of our battles when we trust in Him. Read PS 91 and focus on who God says you are to Him. See what He has to say about those who come against you and the battles you are facing. He says they shall not come near you. Focus on that! AMEN!

STAY IN THE WORD!
