“Choose to keep on Living”
 
Scripture
2 Kings 6:8-24
2 Kings 7:1-11
 
Apostle continued on the subject “Beware of False Prophecy”, Choose to keep on living.”  If we are listening to the Holy Spirit, he told us circumstances were coming, but that he would have us outflank our enemy.  We must make a choice to live.  There is a difference in surviving and living, because surviving is not thriving.  God intended for his people to live through situations and the increase will come out.

Apostle said he prays that God gives us spiritual sight, and that he reveals the solution that has always been there. We can talk to God no matter what the situation is, and he listens.  It is costly to get God to start listening, but when he does, he reveals his will for the situation. We just need to make sure we listen to his will as he communicates it to us.  All the people Satan is using to do bad stuff to us; let us listen to the spirit and get them saved. God is sitting on the throne, walk before him and be perfect and he will lead them where they don’t want to be.  All the resources they had to kill Elisha, but God had other plans. 

God tells us if our enemy is hungry, feed him and if they are thirsty give them something to drink.  God wants us to display his righteousness and unending love. By loving kindness the Lord drew us to himself, and by loving kindness we will draw those against us. Everything that is done against you God can turn it around for your good.  Allow the love of God to work through you.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12: 13-14
 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.  Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

The women in attendance were excited about the Word of God that was shared by three powerful Women of God.  Each speaker’s theme centered around the power of Praise.   The speakers asked questions such as, “What do you need from the Lord?,  Why are you down in the dump dear soul?”  They each confirmed that praise is for our benefit.  Praise is our weapon of mass destruction. 

.  So wake up, creation is waiting for us to wake up in victory.  If God be for us who can be against us.  God will supply unto us, and we need to make the demand.  We have to have faith to believe that God will supply our every need.  After we have been taught the word of God, then put a demand on the power of the word.   We pray, believe you have received and it will be given unto you.   Pray to God who is our doctor, he has given us the  prescription, all we have to do is follow his word.   One speaker used the theme song from “The Lion’s King.”  It was “Hakuna Matata” which means no worries and no cares.  We were left with this thought, “Arise women for the glory of God has risen upon us.”
 

Apostle wanted to reinforce some things for us.  God knows that we are going through and being challenged in our lives.   But for every problem there has been made a solution.  During our storms there is a word from the Lord that will sustain us.  His grace is enough to take us through it.  We need to stop running away from our storms.  It is the nature of lives to have storms.  But we must be serious in our lives in what we want to do with God.

We must make sure that any plan we make is built on truth.  Apostle emphasized, “How many of us can admit that we are facing our own trials right now?  God said, everything was written is for our learning.  When you are going through family trials, don’t stop living.  While we are going through keep living.  As  we are going through different things we get to a point we don’t want to be bothered by anyone. But, we must keep living.  

 If a storm is coming our way, God has planned that storm to increase us.  No storm was meant to diminish us, but to grow us.  We need to follow suit in what God is speaking now and that is to not stop living.  People will shut themselves down, but we can’t stop living.  This means to continue living before God.  Like Noah, grab some stones and build an altar of praise before God. 

Give him praise so the enemy won’t know if you are affected or not, because you continually give God praise.  What God did promise that when you cry, he will be there.  There is only one Gospel and there is no where in this gospel that says you will not have trials or not have another rainy day.  There is safety in the word of God.  We have the authority to move God’s heart.  When our cry reaches heaven, he moves on our behalf.  Just keep on living.
