From: Anointed For Victory Ministries http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org I was in a church service one time when there was a "prophet" praying for the people. After a time, he called for an offering and had his mind totally on the offering instead of the people coming for prayer. One man went for prayer while the offering was being taken and the "prophet" told the man to come back to another service and then he would pray for him. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221246&view=post&blogid=9204 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 When we focus on money and things – possessions, we put them before God and forget about Him. Jesus said it is hard for a rich man to enter into heaven. Why is this so? Because he feels he has all he needs and doesn't need God, the One who has the whole world in His hands. A rich man depends on his riches and possessions to gain whatever happiness he needs in life: not realizing that the mammon is temporal and will pass away. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221245&view=post&blogid=9204 Wed, 30 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 In this day and time men need encouragement like never before. They need to know that they are loved and very much need in this world. They also need Godly wisdom and understanding of the ways of the kingdom of God. Jesus is our supreme example in how to live as holy men of God. He prayed often to the Father, putting His earthly life completely in God's hands. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221243&view=post&blogid=9204 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Do you ever wonder why you see so many more women in the church than you see men? Even married women are there without their husbands. Jesus came to earth as a male child and the devil hates men more than anything. He does everything he can to destroy the male seed born into this world. Look at our prisons, the crack houses, the bars; there you see mostly men and our male youths. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221242&view=post&blogid=9204 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 We belong to Jesus and He belongs to us. What a marvelous revelation! God is our Father and we can go to Him for anything; we can ask for anything that lines up with His will for our lives. Remember, God's will is His Word, so we don't have to be in the dark about what His will is for us; just get into the Word and see what He has said. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221241&view=post&blogid=9204 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 God wants to establish an intimate relationship with human creation. He made us in His image for that purpose. He made us with all of His goodness in us and a love for Him. But all that changed in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve sinned against God. Now we must seek Him to get back into that right relationship with Him. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221239&view=post&blogid=9204 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 When I look back at last year's 21 Day Fast, I see just how far God has brought me because of my faith. When I started with the Anointed for Victory Ministries journey my faith was as big as a mustard seed. I was all alone, miserable and depressed, and had been in the bed for three months, sad and sick of everything. But I had Jesus, and when I started looking back on my life, I realized that I had a little faith. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221238&view=post&blogid=9204 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 God is an awesome God and the Bible says that His ways are impossible for us to figure out. Our minds are too finite to be able to figure out the God Who made the Universe, but sometimes we try to do it anyway. When we pray and expect Him to answer, we have it all planned who we want Him to answer; and we have the nerve to get upset if it doesn't come out the way we planned. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221237&view=post&blogid=9204 Fri, 18 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Watch out for the enemy after you have received a great victory or deliverance from the Lord. Satan knows he is defeated and now he will try to sow discouragement in your mind. And this can happen especially if you are tired and worn out from battling the enemy, which was probably the case with Elijah. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221236&view=post&blogid=9204 Thu, 17 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 It doesn't matter how dark your path may seem to be, hold on to your faith. Joseph never blamed God for the hard times he experienced, he continued to trust Him to bring him out. The Bible doesn't even say anything about him hating his brothers for what they did to him. Instead, he let God use him right where he was. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221208&view=post&blogid=9204 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Faith without works is dead, we must activate our faith: do something to show that we believe God, that He will do whatsoever we ask. You need a job and are praying for God to open a door for you. Then go out and put in applications, expecting God to answer your prayer. Your wayward children are not listening to you as you try to lead them in the right way. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221207&view=post&blogid=9204 Tue, 15 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Do you know what your name means, what it stands for? Parents name their children all kinds of names for different reasons. Maybe it just sounds nice, or someone in the family has that name or it was the name of a grandparent or close relative. Whatever the reason, that child has to live with that name for the rest of their life, whether they like it or not, unless they decide to legally change it. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221204&view=post&blogid=9204 Mon, 14 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 What is your problem today? What circumstances have come up that you feel you just cannot deal with? Whatever you do, don't get under them! Use your spiritual weapons and overcome them with the Word of God. Search the Scriptures and see what God has said about that situation, and say what He says. Put it under the Blood of Jesus, and declare the victory. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221203&view=post&blogid=9204 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 In order for the power of God to be made manifested in the lives of those we touch, we must first believe in our hearts that God will do what He says He will do. Jesus said if we believe and not doubt in our heart, that we could ask what we want and it will be given unto us. We have to rise up and walk the walk of faith before we can help someone else. And the confidence is not in ourselves, but in the living God. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221202&view=post&blogid=9204 Thu, 10 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 He works His will through us as we align our wills to His will. Are you willing to be willing to do God's will in the earth, that others may see the manifestation of the miracles they are praying for? http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=221201&view=post&blogid=9204 Wed, 9 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0400 We cannot do God's work without abiding in Jesus; it is unacceptable. Jesus says we must obey His Word, keep His commandments. We can do more if we live in Him and allow Him to live in us. We can do so much more than we ever dreamed we could do. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218607&view=post&blogid=9204 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400 We wonder why the apostolic miracles are not present in our congregations today as in the days of old. We don't see the lame coming in and laying down their crutches and walkers and getting out of wheelchairs. Why is that? What is the difference in our churches today? http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218606&view=post&blogid=9204 Fri, 27 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Do you consider yourself beautiful? God made each of us in His image and He made all of us beautiful! But that beauty can be overshadowed by sin in our lives and things we need to get rid of. Once we do that the world can see the beauty of Jesus that is in us. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218605&view=post&blogid=9204 Wed, 25 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Do you know that the angels in heaven are always singing and rejoicing, praising God? They are always joyful so they sing praises to the Lord and they worship Him with their songs. What is your favorite song? A song that you always find yourself singing and don't even realize that you are singing. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218604&view=post&blogid=9204 Mon, 23 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Have you ever awakened in the morning with a song singing in your spirit? The Lord has given you a song in the night season and you wake up with that song singing in your very soul. God has given you victory while you were asleep, He has delivered you from something and given you a song in the "night season". Because He never slumbers nor sleeps, He is constantly working in us while we don't even know it. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218603&view=post&blogid=9204 Sun, 22 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400 The Word of God tells us over and over again that we are to be thankful in every circumstance in our lives whether we feel it is a blessing or no: because no matter what happens, God is in it working on our behalf. He knows what is best for us and is always, always working it out for our good and for His glory. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218602&view=post&blogid=9204 Fri, 20 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400 When you look at Facebook you see that some people have hundreds of friends, or so it seems. Just how do you define friend and how can one person have so many? The dictionary defines "friend" as someone with whom you have a bond with who is not a relative or sexual partner. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218601&view=post&blogid=9204 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400 When Jesus entered into the world He entered as the Word of God. That is why He kept saying, "The words I speak, I'm not speaking on My Own, I speak whatever the Father tells Me to speak." (John 7:16 & John 12:49). Jesus is still speaking in these last days and we must heed what He is saying. In days past God spoke to man through His prophets, but now He is speaking through His Son, Jesus. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218600&view=post&blogid=9204 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Jesus is marvelous, He is whatever His Name says. He is "marvelous in all His works, and that my soul knows right well". We loosely use these words to describe people we are impressed with and really, no one is all that. We can only be speaking the truth when we say those things about Jesus, because that is who He is. http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218573&view=post&blogid=9204 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400 When Jesus walked the earth the people wanted to know just Who He was. Some knew Him to be Joseph's Son, the carpenter. Other's knew Him to be Mary's Son out of wedlock, so they thought. Some knew Him to be a good Teacher. Other's who saw His miracles knew Him to be a Miracle Worker. But Who is He really? http://www.AnointedForVictoryMinistries.org/Blog?articleid=218572&view=post&blogid=9204 Fri, 13 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400
