CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Verses 10 & 14. Sickness is never fun. The strength of your spirit however will determine the effects of the sickness. If I have no inner strength, the sniffles can bum me out. When my spirit is sheltered by the strong tower who is Christ Jesus, nothing I face is enough to bring me down. I am in Christ, Christ is in me, victory is mine. Victory over pain, depression, fear, or any attack on my life. Together you and God make a majority, no not really you, but your alignment with God. If God is for me who can be against me.

Verse 15 says that intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge. Is it true that God can bless people at will? Sure it is. However, I also believe that preparation + opportunity = blessing. The more you know, the more you can capitalize on opportunity. Then where is God's blessing? His blessing came by giving you the opportunity. Many people miss out because they do not prepare. I assure you that not everything in life is going to be handed to you on a silver platter. In fact most things you will have to work for. The more knowledge you possess, the more opportunities you can capitalize on. Where does true knowledge lie? It is from God. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

I do not believe in the name it claim it gospel. If it brings glory to God and helps to impact the kingdom, I believe that I can ask in the name of Jesus, and what I ask for I will receive. Never forget however that verse 21 says the tongue can bring death or life. There is power in what you say, so choose your words carefully. It is within your ability to speak blessings instead of cursing. When you speak blessings you align yourself with God, and remember you will reap that which you sow.

Good Evening
