Today we are fasting from the thought: “Will I ever win this battle?”
Perhaps you’re battling depression, an addiction, or fear. Perhaps it’s a sickness or pain. Regardless of what it is, here is the key to your victory, as we take this thought captive:
1. YOU’VE ALREADY WON! Jesus’ declaration on the cross sums it up: “It is finished.” (John 19:30) What was finished? The battle against the power of sin and the devil.
2. Ask God to open the eyes of your heart. (Ephesians 1:18-19) You must look at life from God’s point of view. In 2 Kings 6, when Elisha was surrounded by enemy armies, his servant became afraid and said, ‘we’re surrounded, what should we do?’ Elisha didn’t pray for more angels. He prayed: “Lord, open the eyes of my servant, that he would see there are more for us than those against us.”
(2 Kings 6:17) Suddenly, he saw chariots of fire and a host of angels surrounding their enemies! The battle was already won. (more…)
Praise the Lord!
The Musina Crusade was a huge success. The ministry team left Pretoria at around 14:00 on Friday, 27 February. We arrived in Musina at around 19:30.
We met up with Pastor Hannes, Pastor Eric and Brother Dave at the Jesus Christ Church in Nancefield, Musina.

Today we’re fasting from the thought that says: “People are against me.”
This thinking stops your love-walk. It’s hard to love people that you think are against you. It stops your faith, as well. When you’re concerned about what others think, you are not standing on God’s promises. Your eyes can’t focus on two things at once–when you get your eyes on what others think of you, you take them OFF of what God thinks of you. (more…)
How desperate are you for God
Never Stop Waiting
Selections From Luke 2
There was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking forward to Israel’s consolation, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he saw the Lord’s Messiah…. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform for Him what was customary under the law, Simeon took Him up in his arms, praised God, and said: (more…)
Today we are fasting from the thought that says: “I can’t believe this is happening to me!”
When we think this way, we become victims. The devil wants you to live in shock. He wants you to be stopped by the “paralysis of analysis.” Folks, every one of us has experienced adversity, trials—a sickness, a sudden break up, a job loss, etc. In John 16:33, Jesus said, in this world, you’ll have tribulation…but, He went on to say (the key to overcoming this way of thinking)…
1. TAKE COURAGE—How? Realize that He has overcome the world. See yourself as an overcomer—Romans 8:37 says you are more than a conqueror! (more…)
Today, we continue destroying thoughts of fear.
1 John 4:18 says “…fear has torment.” Perhaps you have felt tormented by the fear of dying, the fear of cancer, the fear of running out of money, or the fear of what someone could do to hurt you. Today, we put an end to the torment, and punishment of fear.
1. Reject and resist whatever isn’t from God. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “God has not given you the spirit of fear—but power, love and a sound mind.” Fear is from the devil. Don’t tolerate it for a second.
2. Speak to fear—Mark 11:23 says, “…say to this mountain (of fear) ‘be removed and cast into the sea’ and do not doubt, but believe those things you say, shall happen.” The spoken word has more power than the running thoughts in your head. Speak to those thoughts of fear and command them to go. (more…)
Afraid?
Today we’re fasting from the granddaddy of all wrong thinking: “I’m afraid.”
Fear is at the root of just about every negative thing that happens in our lives. We’re afraid of failing, afraid of being alone, or rejected; afraid of running out of money; afraid that people will let us down; that we won’t find a spouse, or a job; and the list goes on and on. All fear is rooted in the core belief that God’s Word won’t work. For example, the fear of not having enough is rooted in the fear that Philippians 4:19 isn’t true. If you believe that “God will supply all your needs according to His riches…” then fear leaves.
Let’s fast from the thought “I’m afraid.”
1. Meditate on the fact that God’s Word is true. In John 17:17 Jesus said, “Thy Word is truth.” What God says is fact—whether you feel it, whether you see it, whether you have ever experienced it.
2. Consider God’s track record. 1 Kings 8:56 says, “Thanks be to the Lord. He has given rest to His people Israel. He has done all that He promised. Every word has come true of all His good promise, which He promised…” (New Life Version). He has done all that He has promised. He has never failed. Fear leaves when you can rely on something that can’t fail. There are over 1000 predictions or prophecies in the Bible—promises that God made before they happened. The chances of merely 17 of these coming to pass is ONE out of 450 billion x 1 billion x 1 trillion! Yet, not one of these 1000 promised have failed. In fact, to this day, 668 of them have already been fulfilled. What does that tell us? God keeps His Word. (more…)
