Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

We are to declare the WORD, proclaim the WORD, and receive of the WORD. Yet, pride can prevent from receiving because lifting oneself (due to education or title) precipitates a false sense of loftiness whereby another deemed “beneath” may be the very vessel through whom God will work a thing. Therefore, instead of wasting energy with thoughts of “I should be be the one . . .”, resist and cast down such thoughts in the Name above every name. Such chicanery (legal trickery) is of the enemy of God. The term “legal” is used herewith because as clarified by Kenneth Copeland, “Satan does not have the right to call upon his experience as a heavenly being to apply things that are outside the realm of humanity as tests or trials.” In other words, although tribulation (tests and trials) are of the enemy of God, our arsenal includes: the Word of God, the gifts of the Spirit, the Name of Jesus, and the power weapons of the Body of Christ; all of which “work together for good to them that love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28 (NKJV). Therefore, the glory is in overcoming by the power of God with the WORD. God is Love; and Love Who is ever faithful and compassionate does not use cancer or poverty or any other form of lack in order to “teach” us a thing; resist and cast down such thoughts, in Jesus’ Name.

Man (male and female as per Genesis 1:27) is spirit, mind/soul, and body/flesh. The body cannot exist without the spirit; hence the spirit operates as commander (so to speak) unless the mind isn’t being continually renewed in the WORD of God by the power of the Holy Spirit to this fact. Moreover, made in the likeness of the Sovereign LORD (Genesis 1:26) Who spoke things that were not as though they were, we are speaking spirits. “The first purpose for words is the execution of spiritual power”; every thing in the natural realm had its origin in the spiritual realm. Nothing can operate in this world sans a spirit. (Which is why the enemy of God is always perched awaiting any word contrary to the Way of Love Who is God so that he may move forth; whereas the Angels of God will not move except by the WORD of God.) Therefore, those made sons and daughters of God by the blood of Jesus may be joyful in the revelation knowledge that the reborn spirit is of God and the Angels(s) or ministering spirit(s) assigned to each of us are of God.

The chicanery of the evil one persuades through unbelief that the things of God do not pertain to them or that such is beyond their ability to attain, and also uses hate and unforgiveness which blocks the flow of The Blessing. The inheritance of the elect is the Will of God ratified by the blood of Jesus; an inheritance is bestowed upon the living for use in the present. In other words, sons and daughters of God are not waiting to receive because Abba Father has (already) given. The Way has (already) been worked out by the path through the narrow gate Who is the Good Shepard – JESUS. As it is written, Jesus is the door through Whom is the only Way by which to enter into the presence of the Sovereign LORD Who is our Abba (Daddy) God. Our Lord Jesus said, “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer” Matthew 21:22 (NIV). Therefore, the thing is to believe you receive . . . to believe that you have (it) sight unseen which is by faith, and call it forth to the honor, praise and glory of God with thanksgiving, in Jesus’ Name, Amen. (read – Genesis 1:3-30; 2Co 10:5; James 1:13; Matthew 7:13-14; John 10:9; Matthew 21:22 & 6:33).

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
