2010:
The power of the Word
The 'Word' who created life
Genesis 1.3
Ezekiel 37.4,7
1 Samuel 17.46
Matthew 4.7,10,11
Philippians 3.13
The Word who created
life
·
Genesis 1.3
· 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. God saw already light before light to come
·
Ezekiel 37
· 4Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
·
7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise,
and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
· As an architect who sees the building when everybody sees nothing, God saw life in
dry bones. Please see as God see, and declare, prophesy.
David used word to overcome Goliath
•
1 Samuel 17
• 46This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; ...;
• that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
• 47And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear:
for the battle is the LORD’S, and he will give you into our hands.
• Never shut up when the devil, the enemy declare negative things
on you. Please reply by declaring good things; otherwise you will fell defeated during the coming hours or days. David knew
to reply to Goliath and He said that God will give him victory.
Jesus
used the word to resisted the devil
• Matthew 4.7,10,11
• 7Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
•
Please use the word of God to reply to the
enemy. Jesus didn’t said I will be quite but used the authority he had to oppose the enemy.
•
10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for
it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11Then the devil leaveth him,
and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
• Please learn to said No to the devil, and be ready to tell him to go
away.
Goal for 2010

• Forget what is behind you and
