Ex.23:22 (b)  I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.

Numbers 33:55 

  If you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you then those who you let remain,shall be thorns in your sides(relationships) and pricks in your eyes(vision), and trouble you in the land where you live.

In identifying our enemies we should understand they are not from without,but they are from within.

We are in a battle that has already been won by Jesus now we come to experience that victory as we confront our enemies in the understanding of our true identity in Christ.

The enemies are giants that have Intermingled and embedded themselves into our personality while magnifying themselves through lies  these are attitudes and an old mentality that lives in our land.

  They are not us, but they do live in us they must be confronted through the power of the Holy Spirit destroying all their memories (pictures) Numbers 33:51 and remove them completely from our land .

The Enemies :

Amorites—–Pride, ego, self boaster, vain glory, the root of a performance mentality.

Hittites——–Fear,torment, negetive motivation, anxiety, presumption.

Hivites———Compromise, mediocrity, opposite of excellence

Jebusites—–Defeated, trodden down, a poverty mentality,depression

Perrizites—–Isolation, A loner, non-covenantal, rejected mentality

Canaanites—Salesman, love of money, manipulative, greedy, covetousness.

When we understand that these enemies are in our land (soul) but they are not who we are we will not be intimidated by them and the accuser will not be able to use them against us.

We will with the word of truth drive them out of are thoughts desires and feelings while finding perfect peace for our soul.

 Be not deceived God is not mocked “whatsoever” a man sows that shall he also reap. (Gal.6:7)

God’s answer to need is and always has been a seed.

After the fall when the need of man was redemption He provided the seed of a woman (Christ) coming through generations and eventually finding a place in Mary the mother of our Lord.

He totally provided for the need of all mankind with a seed and now we being in the image of Christ we also have the ability to meet need’s

I think this is one reason we find ourselves with needs in our life in order that we would discover His supply and His creative abilities that He has put in us.

It can be helpful to take an inventory of our need’s and then match each need with the right kind of seed.

 Our giving must be purposeful with a proper assignment every farmer knows if you want beans you plant beans.

 Each seed will produce after its kind throughout history it is always the seed that is attacked,if the seed is stopped then so is the harvest.

If we quit giving of ourselves out of isolation or defeat or if we quit giving because of financial lack we have stopped the seed and stopped the harvest.

3 Areas Of Need:

Relationships–Give seeds of effort friendliness and forgiveness.

Finances–Give seeds of money material things and time.

Health–Give seeds of mercy faith and a merry heart.

Whatever the need, match it with the right kind of seed.

Marks of Maturity: The state or quality of being fully grown or developed.

M–Management—-As we grow we come to manage our time, tongue, talent and treasure the result of this is peace productivity and power.

A–Accountable—-As we grow we discover both the freedom and the need of being accountable to others especially those in whom we have covenant relationship .

T–Trusting—-but  not ignoring discernment in trusting people as we grow we find a liberty to trust instead of being skeptical or critical we trust in God’s ability to keep us.

“The best way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him” stated by Henry L. Stimson Secretary of War ’1940-1945′ and then a more famous modern quote,an old Russian proverb” TRUST but VERIFY” stated by President Ronald Reagan on Dec 4th 1987.

U–Unity—As we grow we work for unity among others recognizing that they have a place as we do. We will not be thinking that unity means I have the pre-eminence, but living by the principle” if they will not let us in their circle we will draw a bigger circle and include them anyway.”

R–Rest—As we grow we learn to do everything from a posture of rest we no longer allow things or people to cause us to panic we save our nerves for a real emergency and live by the principle of “NO SWEAT.” Not meaning a lack of work…, just meaning rest instead of fear”.

I–Identify—-As we grow we come to identify with others in their need; weeping with those who weep and rejoicing with those who rejoice also identifying with God in His provision and character.

T–Teachable—A wise man will listen and increase in learning and a man of understanding will attain unto wise council; as we grow we realize how much we don’t know, and how much we need others to teach us.

Y–Yielding—As we grow we no longer need to have our way all the time. We understand the joy of yielding our desires to bless and help other people.

(Jn.12:31)   Now is the judgment of this world;  Now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

v-32 and I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men (judgment) unto me “The word here men is added by the translator: the context of this verse is judgment;  this signifying what death He should die.

At the Cross Jesus drew a whole creation including the judgment of  it unto himself, and brought an end to the old world then brought us the good news that our judgment as a sinner is past not future.

The Cross is The Judgment seat it is where we all appear before Him and face the this judgment that has happened and it is where God has answered our cry for deliverance;

 It is where sin,sickness,death,and darkness have been judged; It is where the old world has found a judgment day, and then sentenced to the death of the cross while removing all its claims from you and I.

 Sin shall not lord it over us any longer for we are not under the law, but grace. (Rom.6:12)

The Cross is the throwing out of the devil “The prince of this world”   The devil has totally been destroyed and removed from our focus.

Jesus, at the cross, destroyed (put a stop to) him who “had” the power of death that is the devil, and  completely set free (amp) those who through dread of death had all their life time lived as slaves. (Heb.2:14)

We are now free from the devil, sin, death, and the control of this world through the power of the cross.

For the law of the spirit of Life in Christ Jesus; has made us free from the law of sin and death. Rom8:2

The cross is the power of God to us.

All of us have had relationships that have gone bad, but the important thing is to find God in all of them, even in the difficult ones and then be healed and move forward.

(1) Learn to respond rather then react–a response is to who they are as a person with feelings, family, and friends in mind reaction is when we are solely focused on what they may have done or what we think they are doing.

(2) Use the conflicts to create overdue changes in us, it may be that The Father is removing old attitudes, and selfish motives from our own lives using someone else to help bring that about.

(3) Forgive—This does not mean to pretend they have done no wrong. The word means to turn loose or send away the offence. not necessarily to trust them again, but it does mean to let them go meaning you counted the cost you acknowledge the wrong, and you choose to release them through the grace given unto you through Christ.

(4) Recognize The Holy Spirit will allow some people in our lives only for a season, they were never meant to be a permanent part;   Pastor’s and church leaders should understand this go ahead and bless those who leave our church and ministry without resentment or thinking they missed God. (Make it easy for people to leave if they desire to and it will be easy for them to return if that be the will of the Lord).

(5) The things we dislike in others may be a picture of our own soul that we haven’t yet come to terms with.

(6) Negative relationships can become positive ones when we grow, adjust, and make changes in how we treat others.

(7) Avoid the blame game,,,,, This is a sign of immaturity rise above accusations and a critical spirit which helps no one.

(8) Understand the freedom of being delivered from people, so that you may be sent to people in purity and love.

 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our GUILT and iniquities: the chastisement (needful to obtain) peace and well being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes that (wounded Him) we are healed and made WHOLE.  Isaiah 53:5 amp

1–Recognize that Jesus already healed us at the cross our bodies may not know it but the work Jesus did left nothing that was not put under Him and His faith defeated every enemy.

2–Never make excuses for the infirmity nor magnify its power don’t accept it as being God’s will for our lives.

3–Let your faith stand in the power of God not in the wisdom of men, it is because of His mercy not our perfect wisdom.

4–You receive by grace through faith It is not because of our ability to believe or our own good works, we don’t earn our healing through performance such as a thousand confessions etc etc.

5–Understand we don’t need to try to believe we are believers by birth  (believers just believe).

6–We should never try to hide sickness (physical or emotional) out of pride or embarrassment we should share it with the right people who can help our faith.

7–Learn to depend upon the help of the Holy Spirit to receive what is already ours.

 The Father has given us an eternal “I will” meaning it was already settled  at the cross.

 He is our helper and He will show us how to not just be healed, but really be made whole emotionally whole and in every way restore us.

Isaiah 30:21— Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left.

Notice the word behind you; this has a twofold meaning one is what God says is what He has already said in and through the finished work, The other is that we often hear Him after we move forward and He confirms our steps.

In hearing God we must be aware that our own will has a voice and can often interfere with hearing a clear pure sound “un-disciplined desires create voices that sound like God, but they will often be divisive having anxiety and confusion attached to them”.

7 things to know about hearing God

1—Eliminate the negative out of our life He want’s us to know His will and comprehend His voice God loves you and will speak to you as much as to anyone.

2—Understand there must be purpose in us hearing— Sometimes He expects us to know what to do so that he may teach us to rule and then at other times it is because of major shifts in our life that He will speak dramatically….

3—Don’t limit the Lord to one way of speaking— God has many ways of communication… example:  By the revelation of scripture, impressions of peace, a  sound spiritual knowing, a voice, confirmed prophetic ministry, circumstances of life with the spirit of peace, spiritual dreams or just pure intimate communion.

4—Understand God’s method’s of communication—God is a spirit his primary way to communicate with us is #1 in our spirit  #2 in the soul (mind,emotions and will) and then # 3 in the physical world, if God speaks audibly it is a low form of hearing Him this is where He stoops down to speak.

5—Get to know Him for yourself, the more we come to know Him away from all the religious clutter of church and religious activities or another person’s revelation of Him we will listen to His heart beat.

6—No one has the right to violate your conscience, however this does not mean we shouldn’t have a submissive attitude and an open heart to listen to others.

7—Avoid being motivated by guilt or shame— Many people mistake God’s voice expecting it to come through shame or guilt especially in the area of giving “it should be cheerful giving not manipulated giving”.

“Learn to pay close attention to the first thought, stop habitual second guessing yourself and never turn against your potential in doing so you also attack God’s work in your life.

1 Cor.12:9   To one is given the working of miracles.  The word working here means to activate or to operate note it is “The gift of the activation of miracles” not the gift of miracles.

 These are all grace gifts meaning they are not earned by our will or our wisdom, but they are to be received through faith.

Eph. 2:1—We are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves it is the gift of God  not of works, so no one can boast about it.

7 Things Concerning Miracles:

(1)—– It is mis-belief to think that God will do miracles without our participation.

(2)—– God’s part is grace (divine en-ablement) our part is faith which is the response to His grace.

(3)—– How he started in our life when he brought us common salvation is the same pattern for working in our lives now.

(4)—-Grace and faith will not allow us to focus on the condition or the reason for the condition such as sins, attacks, blame past failures etc.etc.  John 9:1-5

(5)—-We need miracles to help us on our journey in life, yet walking in divine wisdom may prevent us from needing so many miracles, but there should be no guilt if we find that we need one.

(6)——Miracles often happen in the atmosphere of proper relationships where the gifts of the Holy Spirit can flow, consider the first miracle Jesus did was at a wedding and it involved others. (Jn.2:1)

(7) —-We cannot earn a miracle by our good works nor disqualify ourselves by our bad works.

                     We simply breath in Grace and breath out Faith!

God Himself has said, I will not in anyway fail you, nor give you up, nor leave you without support, I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake you, nor let you down, nor relax my hold upon you; Assuredly Not. Heb 13:5 (b)

It is a play on word’s, but Jesus wore a seem-less garment, you cannot go by how it seems.

(1) Let the trial of your faith through brokenness bring you closer to Jesus not away from Him.

(2) Learn to speak words of comfort to yourself.

(3) Look for the big picture learn to see from the mountain instead of the valley.

(4) Understand this is not your destiny it is just your journey.

(5) Understand that there is adjustment’s dealing with eternal matters going on around you that you may not be able to understand, but He is faithful to you regardless.

(6) Avoid pessimistic wet-blanket people who only see the problem, but not the answer.

(7) Surround yourself with hope and a people of hope; this will be a people who you can pour yourself out on a people who will love you unconditionally. “This is another reason to get properly connected.

(8) Start giving thanks and praise even in the trial and then turn to see the answer because He is always there for you.

(9) Go Forward when there is no way through when you are without a passage way when you are at the end of your wisdom, intelligence and strength “Wits End”

Get up, Grow up, Go forward and Renew He will bring you to the other side safely, and He will break forth upon all of your enemies “such as the enemies of fear and doubt”.

“We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. We felt like grasshoppers next to them, and that’s what we looked like to them!”

Numbers.13:33

 Moses sent out 12 spies into the land to see who was there and what was there.

10 spies came back with an evil report, they were blinded by how they saw themselves and how they saw the giants…. The vision of themselves was that of grasshoppers ( insignificant, no ability to overcome and  limited to the flesh).

Joshua and Caleb had another spirit;  Simply put they saw themselves accurately Caleb said ” We are well able to go up at once and possess the land; we will eat them as bread ( they are breakfast for champions )   Eventually they led a younger generation into the land and possessed it.

The vision we have of ourselves, will be the picture others will have of us, including our adversaries.

What Shaped Our View Of Ourselves:

(1)  How we see God— The view we have of God be that true or false is what we become like.

(2)  What others in authority over us have said to us—parents, pastors, teachers, employers anyone who has had authority in our lives has the power to shape the view we have of ourselves.

(3) Our world—-relationships, abuse, failures, accomplishments etc.etc. ”Rom 12 :2 JB Phillips translation–  Don’t let the world squeeze you into its mold.” simply saying don’t let your world experiences of your life squeeze you into its mold.

Changing our view:

(1) By the renewing( renovation ) of our mind—-Changing the way we think about God others ourselves and the purpose of life.

(2) Create positive surroundings that reinforce our true identity in Christ.

( 3 ) Start living out of the truth that liberates—We never experience freedom until we understand we are already free through what Jesus did for and as all of us.
