Cont...in. Be diligent in your confession of God's Word and be just as diligent in keeping the enemy out of your mouth.
Confession of God's Word is part of the process of manifesting what we want in our lives. Sometimes, we can frustrate the process of manifestation by complaining about our situation and speaking the direct opposite of what God's Word says about us, based on our current situation or how we feel. Matthew 21:22
Manifestation occurs when we say what we believe regardless of whether or not what we say is good or bad. We must be in complete agreement with what God says, even when we are tempted to speak negative words. If we have to, we should even cover our mouth to keep silent until we can agree with what God has said. You really do have to get that radical. Don't forfeit your blessing and destiny because of a lack of discipline over your mouth. The enemy is looking for any opening he can find. Don't open the door and invite him...

Vehicles are what we use to get from one place to another. Just like vehicles, our lives are used in the Kingdom of God to bring us and others from one place in life to another. As a wife, I have been used as a supporter and encourager to help my husband fulfill his assignment. As a mother, I was the vehicle to bring my children into the earth realm so they could fulfill their assignment. As a teacher, I was used to direct the paths of students and helped equip them for their assignments. Everyone throughout time has been a vehicle for either good or evil. Your life affects someone in some way. What type of vehicle are you?

Cont....conflicting information and facts. What does God's Word say about you and your situation? We have to retrain our spiritual eyes to stay open, even in the midst of a troubling situation. When we confront a problem, we must open our spiritual eyes and understand what is behind the problem. What is the driving force behind the problem and why has it shown up now? I encourage you to consider the intangible before the tangible.
The Kingdom teaching that Jesus taught in the Gospels is life changing and radical. If you have been taught in religion, it can be difficult to receive this Kingdom message. One thing we have to consider is how we esteem God's Word. Do I believe God's Word above m circumstance, above the voices around me, above the natural facts or do I succumb to walking by sight and faith? There is a deceptive spirit at work in the world that is trying to keep us so focused on the natural that we are blind to what God is doing in the spirit realm.
2Cor.4:18AMP "Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting." The Apostle Paul admonishes us to remember what is important. When we operate by our spiritual sight, we are able to withstand...

Expectation

Yesterday, I got up and went to the television to turn on some Word. I really needed a word of encouragement and direction. The preacher I turned to did not know me or my situation, but he spoke directly to it. I was so encouraged and happy he was speaking about my specific situation, that I ran into the bedroom to share what I was hearing with my husband. My question for you is do you go to church or Bible study with an expectation that the man or woman of God will have your specific directions for what is going on in your life? Are you expecting God to give you what you need for the week in the form of a Word? We receive what we need through our ears first. Once we receive God's Word, it is important that we quickly obey what we heard. In the times that we live in, it is necessary to obey God's Word quickly. Our very lives may depend on our obedience to do what He has said. The practice of listening to the Word of God helps us to become familiar with the voice of God. When God speaks to us through His Spirit, we are able to recognize His voice because we are intimate with His Word. That recognition helps us to be able to obey quickly. Problems with obedience come when you are not sure that the voice speaking to you is from God. God is able to meet you at your level of expectation. He desires a more intimate relationship with you. What are you expecting?
