Volume 7 The Ke eping Pow er for the Mind

by Ernest An gley

And the p eace of God, wh ich passeth all und erstanding,shall keep your hearts and m inds through Christ Jesus(Philippians 4:7). The peace of God must be in the heart if themind is to receive the benefit of heaven's peace, love and grace.

This is the victory that overcometh the w orld, even ou rfaith (I John 5:4). What is our faith? The Word of God. This isour victory: faith in the Word, the meat of the Word. You whohave just received salvation are on milk, but you who have journeyed into the truths of God are dining on the meat of the Word.

Many Christians have stayed with the milk of the Word for years,refusing to go any deeper in the Lord. It has made them weak, missing the blessings that God wanted to give them, overlooking opportunities to do God's will. Unable to handle problemseffectively, they have never matured as Christians.

The meat of the Word gives the strength to trample devils underfoot, shows how to use the powerJesus used. Jesus, the Word made flesh, demonstrated what the meat of the Word would do. Hetried to feed meat to the disciples while He was here on Earth, but they were not ready. The milk of the Word was all they could handle.

In this hour, the Bride of Christ will live on the meat of the Word. The meat will enable her to dogreat works for God. Many wonderful manifestations will be seen on planet Earthmiracles,healings in abundance in this final hour. The Lord is walking the Earth one more time with mercy, with armfuls of miracles and healings, demonstrating His love for a lost and dying world just beforeall-out judgment. It's time to rise up and know the meat of the Word, know it's strength, it's wisdom, knowledge and greatness.

As you dine on the meat of the Word, many things that have hindered you in the past will hinder you no longer. If you have had a pattern of allowing people to bother you in the little things they do and say, you will find yourself soaring above them, saith the Lord, and entering into thegreatness of God. But if you don't take the meat of the Word, you will listen to criticism, to idle

words. The meat of the Word provides the vision of the eyes of God. It enables you to see as Jesussaw when He was here on Earth, to be looking u nto Jesus the au thor and finisher of ourfaith (Hebrews 12:2). With Jesus you have the eyes of the Word, the eyes of God to see that whichGod is doing. Knowing what God is doing, you can embrace it all. The meat of the Word gives vision to recognize that the Church dispensation is ending as endtime prophecies are beingfulfilled. You see as the eyes of God see; but to see as God sees, you must keep your eyes on Him.

When Jesus was here, He sought to give the disciples heaven's vision, heaven's sight for losthumanity. Go ye into all the world, and pr each the gospel to every creature, Jesu scommanded (Mark 16:15). To carry out such a command, the disciples had to prepare. Althoughthey needed the meat of the Word, they existed on milk before the resurrection and Pentecost.

After Pentecost, the Early Church entered a miraculous time; persecutions forced them into relyingon the miraculous. The Spirit of God was poured out, and babes matured in the Lord overnight.Taking the strength of the Word, they became soul winners, great witnesses carrying the message of Jesus.

Now we have come to the pouring out of the Spirit, and again the Lord does not want His Childrento remain babes. He wants you to mature quickly: The Lord hath need of you. You will developthrough miracle power, through the miraculous Word of the Living God, taking on the strength and vision of heaven. The weights that have held you down so long will hold you down no longer. You will see those problems as the Lord looks upon them, and they will not hinder you the way they once hindered you, saith the Lord. But you must come into the meat of the Word. The meat of the

Word is your victory, your faith, your life. The meat of the Word is the greatness of God for all of us in this our last hour.

II Peter 1:4, Whe reby are given un to us exceeding great and pre cious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine n ature . Although we have been given exceedinggreat and precious promises, many have not been able to use the promises of God included in the


4 12/19/2010 3


3/14

meat of the Word. The meat of the Word makes all the difference in the world. Many know theletter of the Word; but because the Word is not in the soul, they do not benefit from it, they cannotuse it or keep it. Therefore, only a few of God's promises have been fulfilled for most of God'speople in the past. No more. The time has come that God's people must go on into the greatness of the Word, letting the Word be in action daily as they are partakers of the divine nature.

Be conscious of the fact that you are a partaker of the divine nature of Almighty God. Hissupernatural greatness, that supernatural overcoming strength and power is the reason we can walk like Jesus, talk like Him and be like Him that miraculous love, faith and longsuffering. Jesussaid, If ye ab ide in me , and my w ords abide in you, ye shall ask w hat ye will, and it shall be don e un to you (John 15:7). If you abide in Him, and the meat of the Word abides in you, youcan ask what you will.

God cannot be separated from His Word; the Word is your meat. The W ord was God. The W ord was made flesh, and dwe lt amon g us (John 1:1,14).

If you cannot hold onto the promises of God, they're only in your mind, not your soul; you have notallowed those promises to take root in your soul. God's promises must take on life through theSpirit of God in your soul to produce, to be digested in your innermost beingthe Word, thepromises.

Many are prone to doubt God, believing Him only as long as their minds accept what is happening. When the physical vision and the mind come into conflict with the promises of God, doubt takes

over. You cannot allow yourself to doubt any of God's Word in this final hour. Check yourself tosee if you are really using the Word, if your soul is using the Word. Does your soul harbor the Word of the Living God? Is the Word inside or just in the mind? If the promises are in your mindonly, I say again, you will not hold onto them.

Hide the Word of God in your heart. You cannot read the Word, letting it be a part of the mind butnot of the soul, and expect to receive from it. Many have given only mental assent to the Word of God and then wondered why God didn't move. They have not used God's faith stored in thereservoir of their souls. Because they agreed only in the mind, the Word was soon erased from it. Whatever is in your mind can be wiped out, but the greatness of God in your soul can never be wiped out so long as you do not willfully sin.

Mental agreement alone that God will answer your prayer has no real defense against adversity. A little bump comes, and that mental faith flies out the window. No longer do you believe God willmove for you. That's the reason God's people have doubted so much in the past.

In this last hour, doubt cannot be allowed to continue. The gift of miracles will not work in a spiritof unbelief. God's faith must be present in the soul in order for the gift of miracles to work. Themore that faith is manifested in the souls and minds of God's people, the more the gift of miracles


4 12/19/2010 3


4/14

can work. God's power and greatness toward mankind will be manifested in this last and finalhour.

The mind's capacity is limited in how much it can hold at one time. In order to take in somethoughts, we must brush others aside. But the soul's capacity is unlimited. You can put every promise in the Word of God into your soul, everything in the Bible, every bit of wisdom that Godhas ever given to mankind.

Draw from the soul. Jesus told the woman at the well, W hosoever drinketh of the w ater thatI shall give him shall neve r thirst; bu t the w ater that I shall give him shall be in him a we ll of wate r springing u p into eve rlasting life (John 4:14). Wells of water bubbling up intolife everlasting, no limit. Wells of spiritual water in our souls come with salvation. What joy it is todrink from the waters of salvation and to have the waters of salvation gush forth into the mind!The soul is the only part of you that can keep the wonder of salvation, the only part of you thatcame straight from God.

The flesh is not eternal; it will go back to the dust of the Earthunless you are taken in theRapturebut your soul is eternal; it cannot die. When a soul is holy through Calvary, through the blood of Jesus, it cries out for the things of God. You cannot satisfy the soul with material things of the world, with the fruit of the Earth. The meat of the Word alone will feed the soul.

The only heaven some have is that of the mind. Easily discouraged, they are quick to give up because heaven is not real to the soul. The Lord offers you the promise of the greatness of Hisheaven. That promise in your soul gives you strength to draw from. When you come to the place you don't know what to do, it's time to decide to walk with Jesus until you reach heaven. Letheaven become a reality to you, mind and soul. Do you think you are headed for a figment of yourimagination when your life on Earth is ended? The Lord has told you of a place that is real, a placethat eye hath not seen, nor e ar heard, neither have en tered into the heart of man, thethings which God hath prepared for them that love him (I Corinthians 2:9). God hasn'tplaced all the knowledge of heaven into our hearts, but enough to encourage and give us strength.

And ye shall know the tru th, and the tru th shall make you free (John 8:32). The truthshall make you freethat's real meat! Why be in bondage? If the Son there fore shall make you free, ye shall be free indee d (John 8:36). If the Son sets you free, you are free. Put thatpromise into your soul, and then your mind can draw on the knowledge. I'm free! Nothing can bind me! I am free from all sin.

God's promises of healing, of miracles are truethe truth shall make you free. Just like the miracleof salvation is promised you, the miracle of healing is promised. You who are born againdiscovered the miracle of salvation and claimed it for your life. Claiming healing is that simple.

Should sickness come, draw on the promises of healing: W ith his stripes w e are healed (Isaiah53:5). They shall lay hands on th e sick, and the y shall reco ver (Mark 16:18). I will takesickness away from the m idst of thee (Exodus 23:25). [The Lord] h ealeth all thy diseases(Psalm 103:3). The prayer o f faith shall save the sick, and the Lo rd shall raise him up(James 5:15). These promises of healing cannot be in your mind alone; they must be in your soul,for when the body is in pain, that suffering can erase the promises of God out of your mind.

It's easier for your mind to believe in death than in healing when you are in pain, easier to hear the voice of man than the voice of God. Listen for the voice of God through His promises. Hispromises must be in your soul.

I am the Lord that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26), rings loud and clear when you are well and

love the Lord. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to d ay, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8) iseasy to believe when all is going well. But when you are suffering, and the doctors have done allthey can, you have something beyond man's help. You have a remedy for that sickness, for thatdisease: the life of Jesus living in your soul, the promise of healing. Draw from that promise nomatter how you feel, no matter the condition of your body. Don't go by feelings of disaster; go by the Word of God.

You can get well; you can have good healththrough Jesus. You can be free of that disease oraffliction through Him, not through self, not through doctors who have sent you home to die. Jesusis the healer. You can have life through Jesus when you have the meat of the Word. The meat of the Word says: I am the Lord that healeth thee!

A man came to Jesus, doubt in his mind and spirit whether his son could be healed. The discipleshad failed to help. But the meat of the Word said, If thou canst be lieve, all things arepossible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, andsaid with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine u nbe lief. Whe n Jesus saw that thepeople came run ning together, he rebu ked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thoudu mb an d deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no m ore into him. And the spirit cried, and ren t him sore, and came ou t of him: and he was as one d ead;

insomuch that many said, He is dead. Bu t Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted himup ; and he arose. And whe n he was come into the house, his disciples asked himprivately, Why could not we cast him ou t? And he said unto them , This kind can com eforth by nothing, but by prayer an d fasting (Mark 9:23-29).

The question wasn't whether Jesus could do it, but whether the man could believe. God can do it, but do you believe? The promise of healing will not be preserved if it doesn't drop into your soul. Your pain, your condition or adverse circumstances will rob your mind of that promise of the Lord.

Are you planning to be sick, or do you believe God's promise of healing in His Word? The father who came to Jesus took a healed son home with him. If that instance of healing enters your mindand not your soul, it will not give you great strength. When hearing of miracles, you can becomeexcited momentarily; but if the miracle gets no farther than the mind, the excitement is soon gone.

In my twenties I was close to death. Watching my body waste away to almost a skeleton, I believedmy mind that told me I would die. Months and months earlier, however, God had given a prophecy saying that He would heal me. It was a prophecy of life, health, strength. I should have placed it inmy soul so that the strength of that great promise would come into my mind every day, every houreven in those awful times I was suffering so horribly I was barely alive. When God didn't get me well in just a short while, I lost sight of the promise and stopped drawing on it. More and more became wrong with my body. In fact, I was in such a condition of suffering that the promise of healing was simply wiped out of my mind.

I paid a great price for not remembering. I wanted to live to preach the Gospel to the whole world,to tell everyone about Jesus, but my mind was in sympathy with my body. My eyes seeing my body coming closer and closer to death gave my mind a grim report.

People can reach the place of not being able to pray because they are suffering so intensely. In suchagony, all they can do is groan.

Then one night the Lord came to me, healed me and lingered to talk, telling me some of the thingsthat were going to happen in the ministry, how I would go on a long fast, how I would have His

power for the healing of the people when I came out of that fast. His words didn't leave my mind,for they were lodged in my soul. I had been visited by Jesus. He had talked with me and it didn'tmatter how I felt. Although I still felt pain, I didn't confess it. I confessed life. I'm going to live!I'm going to live! I would get well; God had said so!

My mind had lost contact with that earlier prophecy of healing, but not with this one. Now I clungto the promise fresh from the Lord. I couldn't die because the Lord said I was going to live, going todo things for Him, and He couldn't lie. You must remember that the promises of God are true. When they are in your soul, you can draw on them and they go into action; they are life.

I had to let the things God told me go into my soul. I have carried them in my soul all these years, watching the fulfillment of them one after another. Had I carried them in my mind only, they would have escaped me again and again because of all the waiting, the passing years. But not so.The promises are carried in my soul.

The Lord told the Israelites that the whole land of Canaan was theirs, but they had to put foot on it.

Why depend on yourself, why trust yourself when you know self is limited? Why not take hold of the Lord's hand and let Him move for you? Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

Paul learned the secret of using the meat of the Word: I can do all things throu gh Christ

which strengthene th me (Philippians 4:13). Your strength comes from the Word. Dependingon people for your strength gives you people-strength. People-strength will fail sooner or later.God, however, is not limited in what He can do for you. God's love will see you through the dark nights. God gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf. Hopeless, helpless limbs come alive underthe unction of His power. God imparts life into the sick and afflicted. He is the one who gave manlife in the first place. The clay God used to make man contained no life. Life comes from God; He breathed life into the clay and man became a living soul. The soul came from the breath of God.

The Word tells you to go back to the beginning in the Garden of Eden. The wonders God can do when man does not hinder Him are recorded in the Creation story. God had no limitations on Himuntil man became disobedient.

Again and again we limit God. Psalm 78:41, tells us that they turned back and tempted God,and limited the Holy One of Israel. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was limited by theIsraelites; His hands were tied so that He couldn't work for them.

In Eden, God worked with freedom, made a perfect man who would have lived forever had he notsinned. But when that soul became contaminated, it separated itself from God. And the LordGod took the man, and pu t him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Andthe Lord God comman ded the m an, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou m ayestfreely eat: Bu t of the tree of the kn owledge of good an d evil, thou shalt not eat of it: forin the day that thou eatest there of thou shalt surely die (Genesis 2:15-17). Whendisobedience wormed its way into the soul, that soul died. The sou l that sinn eth, it shall die(Ezekiel 18:20).

A soul cannot live if sin is within it. Any soul harboring a speck of sin has no life of God. Jesus

said: No man can serve two m asters: for either he will hate the one , and love the other;or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye can not serve God andmammon (Matthew 6:24). If there is any rebellion against God in your mind, you must clear itout. If you willfully leave it there, it will drop into your soul as sin. Willful, unrepented sin againstGod means eternal death.

Sin that dropped into the souls of Adam and Eve brought disaster. One day they had nothing but aglorious life in Eden, and the next day it was spiritual death outside Eden. The voice of God today is still crying, the sou l that sinn eth, it shall die! People say they can't live free from sin, but


4 12/19/2010 3


9/14

Paul said he could do all things through Christ.

The devil is a robber. He knows he can rob the mind, that it is gullible, changeable. In an instant,the mind can veer off in many directions. But the soul goes one direction with God; as long as thesoul is directed by the meat of the Word it will continue on God's path. Nothing but willful sin candivert the soul's course.

Put the promises of God into your soul and carry them there. Never check your mind for yoursalvation or your baptism in the Holy Spirit; check your soul. If you are saved, baptized in the Holy Ghost, it may not always register in your mind, but it will in your soul. Your mind isn't big enoughto contain all of God, but your soul, remember, has unlimited capacity. How marvelous!

The meat of the Word tells us: Whe refore take un to you the whole armou r of God, that yemay be ab le to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6:13).

All the armor that God has used to turn back Lucifer, to cast him out of heaven, all the armor thatGod has used in every battle on planet Earth since man has been here is included in the armor of God. The whole strength of God is in that armor. Man has nothing to do with providing thisarmor; it's God's armor, all of it. When you have done all to stand, then stand. It's just that simple but stand with the whole armor of God.

From heaven, Jesus brought what we need. He didn't come to patch up man; He came to makemen and women new creations, to fill them up with heaven's greatness so they could use the wholearmor of God. We don't have to worry about being destroyed; we needn't dread tomorrow. God's

new creations will last for all eternity with Him. Eternity is measureless like God Himself. Thedevil has no control over eternity; only God has.

Human love wears thin here on Earth, but divine love grows greater and greater. Human love dies;divine love lasts forever. When the body passes away, human love passes with it; but God's loveremains no matter how many people die. It can't be taken away from us as long as we want it.

Jesus said: Behold, I give unto you pow er to tread on serpen ts and scorpions, and overall the pow er of the enem y: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). Thatpower comes with the protection in the whole armor of God. Only God has power over the devil.

Who can defeat the devil but God? Those wearing the whole armor of God have never beendefeated. The devil has battled, fought and done everything he could, but never has he been able topenetrate the armor of God. The armor of God will destroy the kingdom of Lucifer completely. Wearing the whole armor of God, you need not tiptoe around him; you can bulldoze him under.He lets us use His armortake pride in it. It's armor we must have.

In m y name shall they cast out de vils Jesus states in (Mark 16:17). Wearing God's armor, youhave authority from on High to cast out devils. In the name of Jesus, come out! and the devilsmust obey. To the unbelievers, the devil whispers: Fanaticism! But when he in the name of Jesus


4 12/19/2010 3


10/14

is commanded to go by the voice of an anointed Child of God, he has no choice. He has to move.

The power of God rolls forth from the soul that wears the whole armor of God, the soul holy,uncontaminated, sanctified in the presence of God. God's power strikes, and the devil is defeatedagain and again. Thank God for the greatness of the Bride wearing the armor of the Lord! No wonder the devil fears her! No wonder the devil comes against her!

The devil is a bluffer; don't let him bluff you. He'll keep you cowering under a blanket of fear if youlet him. But you can resist him and make him run if you know the power in the armor. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he w ill flee from you (James 4:7). He will flee, run. Why? Because of God's armor, because of the strength and power of God. God'salmighty power is here for you to use! Know who you are in Christ, what is available to you. HisChildren dwell in the hollow of His hand. All heaven is for them; all hell against them, in an uproarseeing what God is doing on planet Earth.

Will you be afraid because hell is boiling over? Why fear death when the Lord has conquereddeath, hell and the grave? In God you need fear none of it. Jesus said, Peace I leave w ith you,my peace I give unto you Let not your heart be troub led, neither let it be afraid (John14:27). How many times have you been afraid because you didn't let these words of Jesus live in your heart? You forgot the strength, the meat of the Word, forgot to dine on the Word.

When fear comes in, hear the knock of the Lord at the door; hear Him saying: Behold, I stand atthe door, and kn ock: if any man he ar my voice, and open the door, I will come in to

him, and w ill sup with him, and he w ith me (Revelation 3:20). The Lord will spread thetable. Was He not the one who fed the disciples after the resurrection? He prepared the food forthem come and dine!

When you dine with the Lord, when you wear the whole armor of God, you will be a true soldierthe Lord will be proud of. The devil will hate you for your stand, try to distract you, get yourattention. He wants to make you think disaster will fall on you any moment, but he, remember, is a bluffer.

A devil-possessed fortunetelling girl followed Paul and Silas. The girl cried out: These men arethe servants of the most high God, which shew un to us the way of salvation. And thisdid she many days. Bu t Paul, being grieved, turn ed and said to the spirit, I commandthee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came ou t the same hou r. And w hen he r masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone , they caught Pauland Silas, and drew them into the marketplace un to the rulers, And brou ght them tothe magistrates, saying, These men , being Jew s, do exceedingly trouble ou r city, And


14 12/19/2010 3


11/14

teach customs, w hich are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, be ingRomans. And the mu ltitude rose u p together against them: and the magistrates rentoff their clothes, and comman ded to beat them. And w hen they had laid many stripesup on them , they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to kee p them safely: Who,having received such a charge, thru st them into the inner prison, and m ade their feetfast in the stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises un to God:and the prisoners heard them. And sudde nly there was a great earthquake, so thatthe found ations of the prison wer e shaken: and imm ediately all the doors we reopened, and every one's bands were loosed (Acts 16:17-26). Paul had on the whole armor of God as he used God's power to cast the devils out of the fortunetelling girl. The girl was free.Imprisoned for it, Paul and Silas still wore the armor of God, and God sent a great earthquake of power to free them from prison.

In this last hour you will either worry the devil or he will worry you. Which is it going to be? Who will have the nervous breakdown, the devil or you? Who will be tormented? Reach down into yoursoul for the answer. It must come from the soul and not just the mind, or you will not overcome.Through Jesus Christ you have power over all the forces of evil, power over all darkness. He hasgiven His Children authority to use His name any time.

Examine what the Early Church did with the promises and teachings of Jesus. Not only in theirminds, His words were engraved in their souls, written on their hearts with the love and power of the Everlasting God.

Through the blood of Jesus, His promises are written on the walls of our souls. Fear not. Allthings are possibleonly believe. Look to the storehouse of your soul, not your mind. See what theLord has planted there, and shout the praises of God. Faith, God's faith that comes from the meatof the Word, is our victory.

Finally, my brethren , be strong in the Lord, an d in the pow er of his might (Ephesians6:10). You are strong through the power of His might, through the power of God! His power belongs to the Children of God, and He delights when you use it. Gladly He furnishes it to you. Hesent the Holy Ghost to live and dwell on the inside of you to operate the power of God through you.

The revival is not on the way; it's here. Let God do what He wants to do. The rain of the Spirit ispouring. Why put up an umbrella of doubt, fear and frustration that keeps the Spirit out? AcceptGod's way. Let the rain of the Holy Spirit fall on youit's power from on High!

Jesus told the disciples they would receive power from on High: Ye shall receive pow er, afterthat the Holy Ghost is come u pon you (Acts 1:8). In the Upper Room, about one hundred


14 12/19/2010 3


12/14

twenty awaited that power from on High. They didn't know just what it would be like, but the Lordsaid it would come and they were looking for itand it fell.

You may not understand all the Lord has for you but look for every bit of it. I don't know everything the Lord has in store for His Children, but I know it is coming in the form of His love. When I see God's love, I will use the strength it contains. You can use it, too.

He giveth powe r to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.Even the you ths shall faint and be w eary, and the you ng me n shall utterly fall: Butthey that wait up on the Lord shall rene w their strength; they shall mou nt up with wings as eagles; they shall run , and not b e w eary; and they shall walk, and no t faint(Isaiah 40:29-31). If you tend to faint in the work of God, He will give you power to overcome when you reach for it. Some people crumple at the very time God needs them most. Spiritually,many are fainters. But the Lord has promised to increase strength; just ask Him for it.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the stren gth of my life; of who m shall I be afraid (Psalm 27:1)? The Lord is your strength. Do you depend onHim? Some people thought they could depend upon their house until the earthquake came. Whenthe house began to fall apart they realized they had depended on the unreliable.

Where will you find your refuge, your strength? Under the wings of the Almighty. He shall coverthee w ith his feathers, and u nde r his wings shalt thou tru st (Psalm 91:4). Under the wings of the Almighty you have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about. Fear is rendered helpless

when the power of God strikes it. In this last hour God will use His obedient Children. Victory is yours when you claim all that is available to you from God. Victory in Him comes when you use thefaith and greatness of God.

When the promises of God are written upon the walls of your soul, nothing can erase thosepromises but willful sin. As you yield to the Lord, those promises will flow, flow, flow. You yield tothose promises by accepting them, accepting the Word of God in your mind and soul.

He that b elieveth on m e, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (Bu t this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him shouldreceive: for the Holy Ghost was n ot yet given; b ecau se that Jesus w as not yet glorified)(John 7:38,39). Rivers of spiritual water gushing forth from the innermost being will bring life to adesert of lost souls. There is no scarcity of the Spirit of God.

Yield to God; decide you are going His way, going to use the life of God, His promises, His strengthand help. Use the things God is furnishing. He knows your spirit, what you need: the whole armor


14 12/19/2010 3


13/14

of God. Be grateful for that armor. Decide that you will pay the price no matter what others do.

Praise God for what He has placed in your soul: the greatness of His very Son. Remember, there isno limit to the capacity of the soul for the things of God.

You who are unsaved: You need Jesus. Your soul is empty, a desolate land that has gone without water for such a long time. Let Jesus come into your heart. He will if you want Him. You don'tthink you can believe? Just open up your soul and let the Word flow in. The Word will make you a believer when you open up to it. Jesus will move in to start His wonderful redemptive work withthe blood that stained the old rugged cross, cleansing your soul of every speck of sin, getting thatsoul ready for the Holy Ghost to move in.

Pray this prayer with me now: God, I open up my heart to you. Save my soul! Forgive me of my sins! I am so sorry that I sinned ag ainst you, but I have come home. I'm going to serve you, Lord,

the rest of my life. I believe the blood of Jesus washes away a ll of my sins, all of my sins! Come onin, Jesus! Come on in!

If you meant that prayer, He has come. Praise Him for His matchless salvation!

You who are sick or afflicted, agree with me in prayer now. I come with His power, ordained by Him to pray for the sick. His gifts are the ones that can set you free in His Holy name.

Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to youthat cancer victim, the heart patient, the crippled one,the para lyzed one, the diabetic, the retarded ones, any who are suffering from disease. Nothing isimpossible with God. I bring a ll the sick and afflicted to you. In the name of Jesus: Heal, heal! Inthe holy name of the Lord: Heal! In the mighty name of Jesus, in the all-powerful, holy name of Jesus of Nazareth, I command it done.

As I prayed that prayer, I felt the healing power flowing, the power that will get you well. There islife in His power. Watch for all improvements daily, and get well. Then write and tell me about it,and I will rejoice with you.

The Lord is moving by His greatness. This is the Word of the Lord that has been brought to you.The meat of the Word is what you need for this endtime hour. If you fail now, you may have nochance on tomorrow. You are going all the way with Him or you will be lost somewhere in thenight. Just one flight outif you miss it, you will be spewed into the Tribulation Period. It's time tolook up. Redemption draweth nigh. Take the meat of the Word and live on it daily, and thepeace of God which passeth all un derstanding, shall keep your hearts and m indsthrough Jesu s Christ (Philippians 4:7).
