The Bigger The Devil, The Higher Your Level

Written by John Tyler


Continued from page 1

David wrote: "Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress..." (Psalm 4:1).

God used those difficult times to enlarge David's faith, build his character, and force him to rely in a greater way on his God. Let's face it, if we only found ourselves in situations we could handle or explain, we'd never have to trust him. Our faith would never develop.

I'm sure when these great men of God were in their personal pit, suffering and desperately calling out to God for help, they wondered what was happening to them. We haverepparttar benefit of knowingrepparttar 126801 end of each of these stories.

While God didn't causerepparttar 126802 negative situations in their lives, he used those circumstances to carefully constructrepparttar 126803 powerful men of faithrepparttar 126804 Lord needed for their divine destinies to come to pass.

No matter what challenge you face today, God has already writtenrepparttar 126805 final page of your story. Your story doesn't end withrepparttar 126806 dark pit your may find yourself in now. Your story ends in victory, with God doing exceedingly and abundantly more than you can ask or imagine in your life (Eph. 3:20).

Your God only raises up winners, and you are one of his kids. His favor surrounds you like a shield (Psalm 5:12), and he rewards those who diligently seek after him (Heb. 11:6).

Rejoice, no matter where you find yourself today. Your victory was purchased 2000 years ago on a hill called Calvary. Praise him in advance forrepparttar 126807 victory he has already promised you in his word.

Today, he is calling you to run torepparttar 126808 only safe place that truly exists...right intorepparttar 126809 arms of your Heavenly Daddy. Remember,repparttar 126810 name ofrepparttar 126811 Lord is a strong tower;repparttar 126812 righteous run to it and are safe (Prov. 18:10).

Being safe in his arms, use this period to feed on his word, build up your prayer life and trust him even when you feel your life is in disarray.

He is bringing you out with a greater love, a greater confidence, and a greater resolve to see his destiny fulfilled in you than ever before.

Maintain your praise. Thank him continually for his goodness in your life. Don't focus onrepparttar 126813 battle and its challenges, focus of your loving God and his supernatural ability.

He will do what he must to get you where he needs you. But once you are there, look out! His goodness is right aroundrepparttar 126814 corner and his blessings are chasing you down.

Friends, it's time to get 'favor-minded'

Continued from page 1

It is very interesting that his next sentence deals with cleaning up our thought life.

He admonishes us to take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). Every thought that disagrees with God's assessment of your situation should be met instantly with a promise from his word.

If you are disciplined and make this a habit, you will continually walk in a process of renewing your mind with God's word.

Once you begin to get your thinking in line with his thinking, you will seerepparttar doors supernaturally fly open around you and you'll walk inrepparttar 126800 favor of God like never before.

Now, it is extremely important for you to keep in mind that you have an active role in seeing God's goodness come to pass in your life. If you eat junk food three times a day, your body is going to deteriorate. You can quote Isaiah 53:5 until you are blue inrepparttar 126801 face. If you are not takingrepparttar 126802 proper steps to take care of your body, you are not doing your part.

God gave you wisdom. Use it. Don't expect God to make a miraculous deposit in your bank account and dig you out of a hole when you haven't been faithful in giving and you've wasted your money on other things.

This message is for those who are faithfully walking after Jesus, putting him first place in every area of their lives.

If that is you, he shields you with his favor. His blessings are chasing you down! You are blessed coming in and blessed going out! By his stripes you were healed! Get all this in your spirit...if God is for you, who can be against you?

Likerepparttar 126803 blind men in Matthew 9, your need will be met "according to your faith." Are you believing for a touch from God to heal your body, or are you afraid your situation might get worse?

Do you know in your heart he plans to bring a healthy love relationship into your life, or are you worried that this one will be a painful failure likerepparttar 126804 rest?

Are you convinced your business will explode so you can provide an abundant life for your family and seed for God's kingdom, or are you a little concernedrepparttar 126805 economy is going to take another downturn?

Are you trusting him to bringrepparttar 126806 unsaved members of your family into his kingdom, or are your convinced some of them are too far gone?

Today, I encourage you to begin reprograming your mind withrepparttar 126807 promises of God. You are highly favored byrepparttar 126808 creator ofrepparttar 126809 universe. He has wonderful plans for your life.

Don't take my word for it! Get into his word. Read what he says about your situation...

Then, believe it!
