Answer to your enemy.

-

Then David said to the Philistine , "You come to me with a sword , with a spear , and with javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.  -1 Samuel 17:45


What are things that are troubling you and snatching your peace away? What are the things in your life that are occupying a major portion of your mind and you can't stop thinking about them? What will be your reply to those things which are creating a havoc in your emotional world as well as in your practical world? Like David we need to say : You come to me with depression, stress, anxieties and worries But I come to you in the name of Jesus. The prince of peace will slay each and every thing in your mind that is destroying your peace. Confessing your weaknesses to God gives Him an access to use those weakness to lead you to His strength. You can't defeat what you can't confront. You need to confront those things in prayer where God has the upper hand and not in gossips where you open the gates for the devil to dump garbage in your mind. Let's have a look at the situation where David is before his enemy. The enemy is equipped with a sword, spear and a javelin, the most lethal weapons of warfare but David is equipped with the name of the Lord of Hosts. Sometimes we are so focused on the enemy's strength than we are on God's. We're not fighting for the victory but we are fighting from the victory. David won the battle when he equipped himself with the name of the Lord of Hosts and the giant wasn't defeated by a sword, spear or Javelin but with a sling and stone Because David's Confidence wasn't in the sword, sling or the stone but in the name of the Lord of Hosts. David was too focused about God's strength to notice whether the enemy was Bear, Lion or Goliath.

Prayer :

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your word which equips us to fight a good fight of faith and for gaining the victory over our enemies for us. You've already won the battle, help us to reach that point. In Jesus' name.
Amen

Sunday, 8th October, 2017 Speaker : Pst. Manoj Arunkumar Summarization : Shruti Vanjare THE SUPERNATURAL MIRACLES OF JESUS CHRIST.  Jesus turning water into wine “I will turn your emptiness into fullness of Joy.”-Jesus.  John 2:1-12 On the third day, there was a wedding in Cana (Tuesday) When we go back to Genesis 1:9, the third day was the only place where God said “It is Good” twice. The marriage of Cana was conducted on the third day because it was a ‘good day.’ Cana of Galilee was the hometown of Jesus Christ and He and his family we're invited to the wedding. Jesus came to the wedding after defeating the devil in the wilderness as the Son of God. If you know the Word, you can defeat the devil. The marriage of Cana signifies turning your failures into blessing. There's a shortage of wine amidst the excitement of the marriage and there's a huge ceremony going on. According to the Jewish customs, wine symbolizes joy and happiness. The mother of Jesus

Daily Word 6th October 2017 - Victor Mendonca He(Jesus) said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" -Matthew 16:15 Jesus didn't ask the disciples this question because he had an identity crisis. Nor did Jesus forgot who he was. He asked the disciples this question because he wanted them to discover the revelation of who he actually is. From the very beginning of the world, God has always been a revealer of his great plans, love, grace, mercy, compassion, provision, protection etc. God reveals Himself in the Old Testament: - Abraham got a revelation of God as Jehovah Jireh - God who provides in Genesis 22:13-14 - Exodus 3:2-8 Moses got a revelation of God as the deliverer at the burning bush, which was later fulfilled in Exodus 12:41-42 - Elijah got a revelation of God who answers by Fire in 1 Kings 18:24.
