Disallow Gap< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Isaiah 7:1-7

As a believer who is traveling 100 miles an hour in the journey of faith, slowing down to 80 miles an hour is a great risk. The time and season of this world is not the time for slowing down. Slowing down is an invitation to the enemy, and it will cause a gap in a believerÕs wall, and protection will slack. It is always a small gap that leads to a bigger gap. The more a believer continues to slow down, the more the gap gets bigger. It does not matter the size of the gap you have noticed in your life, waiting too long before having the gap sealed up will be like laying in wait to waste. All that your enemy is looking for is to convert your small gap to a bigger gap that can allow him passage into you. Isaiah 7:6, ÒLet us go up against < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel.Ó The plan of the enemy for your life is to come in and reign in your life. All you have to do to make this happen is to help the enemy make a gap. You have to disallow the gap from happening. Allowing trouble to reign is allowing a gap to have its way in your life. Jesus is the only one that can deliver you from trouble when it knocks on your door. Disallow the enemy from putting a gap in your wall; move closer to God and let God continue to be the king of your life. Every evil that has been plotted against you will turn against the plotters.

Forgiveness< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Mark 2:1-12

It does not matter how much faith you have, without forgiveness, healing will be delayed. This is evident in the life of many who received healing when Jesus was on the face of earth. A man with paralysis tore the roof to get to Jesus when all roads were blocked. He had faith but he needed forgiveness to get healed from paralysis. Paralysis is not the loss of a body part; it is the loss of the ability to move a body part. Where you are going is set for you, but you lack the ability to get set for where you are going. If your case sounds like this, you are having paralysis. Are you physically or spiritually paralyzed? With your faith you will need forgiveness from God. Mark 2:5, ÒWhen Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, ÔSon your sins are forgiven you.ÕÓ There is nothing for you to reason about this, it is the word of God. Jesus taught it in the LordÕs Prayer. You always have to ask for forgiveness when you go to Him in prayer. He demonstrated it many times when He delivered some from sickness and diseases. When you reason in your heart like the scribes did, what He said to the scribes is essentially being said to you. Mark 2:9, ÒWhich is easier, to say to the paralytic, your sins are forgiven you, or to say, ÔArise, take up your bed and walk?ÕÓ The paralyzed man had faith, received forgiveness, and was healed. Call on Him, because you have faith and ask Him for forgiveness that will convert all your stagnation into motion.

Be Established< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

2 Chronicles 20:1-30

Believe the word of God and you will be established. God is not a man who will fail in His word. He has and forever will be faithful. It is you that has not been faithful to the word of God. Jehoshaphat was facing a confrontation with a great multitude that was coming to war against him and Judah. There was no where for him to turn except to the Lord his God. Your confrontation is turning into multitude. When it looks like you are getting over, you are actually getting under. Wherever you turn, you are being turned down. You have called to God and it seems there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Indeed, it is good to turn to God, but it is bad when you turn to Him and fail to tune into His promise. In turning to Him you have to believe that God can do all that is impossible. Jehoshaphat, having taken his confrontation to God, went back to his people and spoke to them. 2 Chronicles < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>20:20, ÒSo they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, ÔHear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God and you shall be established; believe in His prophets, and you shall prosper.ÕÓ  That is God for your understanding. Believe in Him and you shall be established.

Dream Journey< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Genesis 37:1-24

When Joseph stepped up his dream journey, he did not know that he was in the dream he had earlier. Joseph did not know that GodÕs plan will separate him before he can operate for GodÕs glory. You have ended up in a situation you never planned for. It is too deep and too expensive for you to handle; it is costing you more than you can ever imagine. You can be rest assured that God is able, and He alone will see you through. If you believe what you are reading about GodÕs operation, you will surely be established. Consider Joseph Ð they meant to kill him; God meant to lift him. Genesis 37:20, ÒCome therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, ÔSome wild beast has devoured him.Õ We shall see what shall become of his dreams.Ó The devil not only wants to stop you from getting to where God is taking you, but also wants to kill you on earth and in heaven. He will use people closest to you to accomplish his mission in your life. When the deceiver was using JosephÕs brother in an attempt to deny Joseph from getting to his divine assignment, God was using it to get Joseph through his journey. As Joseph stepped into his journey, God set him up for His glory. As you step into your journey, God will set you up for His glory. He is an able God.

Carrier< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Deuteronomy1:19-45

Stay away from rebellion; then you will not complain, you will not be discouraged, and you will not be afraid. When rebellion is not your portion in your journey with God, He will carry you through. He carried the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel through the wilderness but they could not survive, they crumbled by giving way to rebellion. Deuteronomy 1:30-31, ÒThe LORD your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness where you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.Ó He is a faithful God. God will not stop carrying you except the moment you stop riding on His word. God is His word and His word is Him. He is God that honors His word as much as His name. In as much as you stay away from complaint, discouragement will be disallowed, encouragement will reign, and to be afraid will be a dead issue. You wonder if all this talk is possible. Indeed, it is possible; it is a take-able force. If it is impossible, God will not expect it from us. Get yourself out of the cold and begin to take the word of God seriously. The word of God is not a decoration; it is for operation against all forces that wants to deny you from being carried to His Kingdom. Do not jump from the carrier. When He carries you, He will not tarry.
