Strengthening Your Stand - a podcast by Covenant Word Church

Hebrews 1:3 …He upholds all things by the word of His power,

Hebrews 12:2 if we lose the focus of Jesus, we lose the power of our faith

Where we choose to focus is where we win or lose as it comes to our faith and our purpose

Focus is everything

Eph 1:18 Where our heart is focused is where our xyz is going to be

Why does God let us or allow us go through the problem

-To gain strength. The next time we see that problem we know most of the answer…though we may not like it

-Paul is 

Somehow Paul was able to gain spiritual strength though some of the most infeasible problems

God’s righteousness completely surrounds us

Eph 6:10-11 Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might

Having done all to stand, therefore stand

God is looking to co-labor with us..so the devil is looking to fight anyone who takes a stand

Acts 16:22 then the multitude rose up against them.; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

-and when they laid many stripes on them into inner prison and fasted their feet in the stocks.

Paul and Silas began to do harp and bowl (Rev5:8)

-And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.

Phillipians 4:11 -I can do all things through Christ who strengthens you

God wanted to do something through Paul instead of to Paul. Paul was able to follow that lead by the plan of God. How?

Exodus 13:

God doesn’t often take us around the conflict

Because and as He has equipped us to win the conflict

Mark 6:52 The loaves and fishes

-For they did not understand (Jesus disciples) because their hearts were hardened (about the leaven)

What hardened their hearts…(ours too)

Beware of the leaven of—which is a mindset

When we hold back thanksgiving we hold back our understanding and our faith

Rom 1:xy Professing themselves to be wise they became fools

-how do we get in the front door? With thanksgiving and praise

Our enemy combats us with lies and excuses to make the problem seem way bigger than it turns out to actually be

Prov 16:2 All the ways of man are pure in his own eyes, but God weighs every matter by the spirit

If you’re in His word, God wants you to declare what needs to be done
