Dear Friend,

Did you ever feel like you were being attacked or “hit” in several areas of your life at the same time? Remember, attacks are to be expected, but the kingdom of heaven is forcefully advancing through God’s people, even while under attack.

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Matthew 11:12 (NKJV)

In some areas of our world today the Gospel is met with persecution. Even so, Christians continue to preach the Word of God and they handle attacks with the Word of God. Paul and Silas suffered trials and attacks.  They understood that the kingdom of heaven is forcefully advancing. Paul warned the Ephesians church to put on the whole armor of God and wield the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
 
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of Thy mouth.
I will meditate in Thy precepts, and have respect unto Thy Word.
Deal bountifully with Thy servant, that I may live, and keep Thy Word.
Psalm 119:13,15,17  (KJV)

This week when you feel the attacks coming, declare the Word of God!  Wield that Sword of the Spirit and you WILL advance with the saints toward the kingdom of heaven.

This week, let’s speak the Word and win!

Pastor Jo
