TODAY’S MANNA for Friday Dec. 16, 2016

Stand up and declare who you are in Christ

But the just shall live by faith [My righteous
servant shall live by his conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and
divine things, and holy fervor born of faith and conjoined with it]; and if he draws back {and} shrinks in fear, My soul has no delight {or} pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10:38 Amplified Bible Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Living a life of faith takes courage. Most people don’t realize it, but it does! It takes courage to stand up in the face of sickness and declare that you’ve been healed by the stripes of Jesus. (I didn’t say declare you are not sick or that there is no sickness upon you, that’s lying.) I said: “declare that you’ve been healed by the stripes of Jesus!” It takes courage to believe for prosperity while you are putting your last dime in the offering plate and poverty is staring you in the face. Remember God is our source, not men, even if you are working a job, God is still your source. For God gives man the power to gain wealth (Deut. 8:18). There are going to be some days when you’d rather pull the covers up over your head and hide than take another faith stand against the devil. But don’t you dare, you can’t afford to. Staying in bed and shouting, “Oh God, Help Me!”, Does not constitute a faith walk or going to church and fellowshipping with Him like you are supposed to. Because the battle of faith isn’t fought once and then forgotten and it isn’t fought in the natural or from a bed. It is a spiritual battle, fought on a spiritual level. If you want to keep living in victory, you have to fight it again and again. But remember the battle is not with flesh and blood, but it is spiritual, and we know we have already won. “…but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” (Dan. 11:32)

MY PRAYER…
Father I pray that You open the eyes of my understanding and flood my heart with the hope of Your calling for me, that You reveal to me what is the glorious inheritance You have given to us saints and heirs to salvation. I thank You Lord that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind. That You have given us great and precious promises to base our faith upon and help us in our day to day battles with this world. Lord I thank You that You have made us victorious through Jesus! In His precious name, I thank You and Praise You.
Amen
