CONSIDER
If we turn back, God cannot fight for us. Why? Because, when we turn our back, we are disobeying our leading AND our Leader. We are not taking action.
There is a triangular stratagem that your enemy,
Satan, has devised to throw you off course. At some time in your
life you may experience these: fear, shame and mental oppression.
Maybe all-at-once.
We will not see real
miracles unless we put ourselves in a
position in which God can work for us.
God works in the area of the
impossible.
What is impossible with men is possible with God.
You may not need direction . . . you may just need to go
forward.

DEFEATING THE TRIANGLE OF
LOSS
YOU CAN GET BACK
UP
~
A MIRACLE PODCAST PRODUCTION
~
The enemy of your soul has many tools in his bag. However, there is
a favorite of his: it is the "Triangle of Loss." His favorite ...
and most successful ... attacks are as follows: Fear, Shame and
Mental Oppression. And, sometimes he likes to use all three of them
at the same time. The purpose of this podcast teaching is to help
YOU discern and defeat this triangle of
loss.
There is an old saying, "You are as others see you." The devil knows if you have FEAR in your heart. If you do, ask God to help you: to take the fear away. King David said, "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee (the LORD)." [Psalm 56:3] Go to the Word of God and RECEIVE BY FAITH the power promised in the scriptures, such as:
"For God has not given us the spirit of
fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound
mind." [2 Timothy
1:7] Fear is a spirit; therefore, you must speak to it. God is love
and He is spirit. Love is stronger than fear. Perfect love casts
out fear.
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love
casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made
perfect in love." [1 John
4:18]
If you are
afraid of someone, ask God to give you His love for them.
You can bind fear in the name of Jesus, and cast it away from you.
Command it to leave, and use the name of Jesus against it. Speak
(declare) the BLOOD of Messiah Jesus against it.
It is your responsibility to overcome
fear. SERIOUS
cases of fear require four (4)
steps:
A stayed
(fixed) mind.
Confession of God's Word [1 John 4:18; James 4:7; and 2 Timothy
1:7].
A step of faith . . . action. Speak to fear and take authority over
it.
Intercession and spiritual warfare (for others or one's
self).
__________________________________________________
IMPORTANT
THE REASON FOR THIS ATTACK OF
FEAR
IS TO GET YOU TO STOP
ACTION
_____________________________________________
The enemy's chief concern is that
you STOP doing what you are currently involved in doing. You have
been TOO SUCCESSFUL; also, your plans for future endeavors are
causing him to freak out. The devil is the most frustrated person
in the world today; he knows that his time is running out. When the
fullness of the Gentiles takes place, then all Israel (the nation
as a whole) will be saved. [Romans 11]
SunTzu, in his
book, The Art of
War, says
"Every battle is won before it is
fought." How
true in Christian warfare: even the whole war is won because of the
victory of our Lord Messiah Jesus. His death, burial, and
resurrection conquered the enemy and bought our freedom and eternal
life. Now . . . we take ACTION on that victory by appropriating it
in faith as we move forward.
Another weapon in the arsenal of the enemy, in addition to fear,
is shame.
The enemy will try to attack you with imposed shame.
Lots of times, the enemy will attack even seasoned warriors with
imposed shame from family members or friends as a result of some
"slip up" from the past.
There are many examples of shame experienced by people of God in
the Bible. None of us are perfect: that's why we need a Savior!
Abraham (the same as) sold his wife two times. Moses killed a man
in anger. David committed adultery and murder. Peter denied Messiah
three times in one night.
We see that Adam's shame was manifested in hiding. In Revelation
3:18, Jesus admonished the Church at Laodicea to
". . . buy of me white raiment,
that you may be clothed, [so] that the shame of our nakedness does
not appear . . ."
There are several types of shame:
Adamic shame
Inherited shame
Actual shame
Imposed shame
Every one of these types of shame
may be remitted, or canceled, by the atonement of Messiah Jesus.
The BLOOD of Messiah paid for you and your sins, and provides
healing for shame.
The verdict of guilt, whether real or imagined, is
shame. It
may be something inherited from Adam (who brought sin into the
world as the federal head of the race); or it may be something
inherited from ancestral, or family lines. It may be actual shame,
resulting from an action you have initiated. And . . . it may be
psychological shame . . . real or false shame that people or demon
spirits have tried to impose upon you, resulting in oppression,
rejection, physical or mental sickness, and lack of production.
Jesus the Messiah bore your shame. Hebrews 12:2 tells us that our
Lord Jesus despised the shame of the cross and his nakedness
thereon, but went through it because of the JOY set before Him:
that is, he saw YOU able to be made whole and to know God, with
your sins forgiven and having eternal life, as the result of His
sacrifice. Jesus despised shame . . . and He
despises it in YOUR life. He
died for YOU so that you do NOT have to carry shame. He carried it
for YOU!
He
is alive to remit guilt and its resultant shame from your life
today.
You can appropriate the healing in His shed BLOOD for you by
calling on Him today. Pray and ask Him to deliver you.
You can get back up . . . because He got back up!
The Master has need of you in
these last days.
Along with fear and imposed shame, the enemy will also, at times,
try to attack the seasoned warrior of Christ with
mental
oppression.
Again, I have some Good News for you.
Oppression - both mental and physical - are included in Messiah's
work FOR US. Messiah was driven; he was abased and looked down
upon. Isaiah 53:7 says, "He
was oppressed and he was afflicted . .
."
The Hebrew word for "oppress" [nagas] in this passage means "to
drive, to harass, to tyrannize, to oppress."
The original word used for "afflicted" [anah] means "to look down
upon, depress, abase, humble."
Messiah was driven; he was abased and looked down upon.
In Isaiah 53:4, where it reads, " . . . he carried our
pains," the
literal Hebrew meaning is "acute pain; intense
suffering: MENTAL or
PHYSICAL."
In Psalm 41, a Psalm of David written 1,000 years before Messiah
Jesus, Kind David writes, "LORD, be merciful unto me: heal
my soul, for I have sinned against you."
[Verse 4]
The Hebrew word here used for "soul" is "nephesh" which refers to
not only the mind, but also the heart:
healing for the intellect, the
emotion, and the will, as well as the
body.
Jesus "carried" sickness, sin, disease, poverty and oppression -
the "works" of the devil (Satan) - FOR YOU!
Now . . . YOU don't have to carry them any longer! They do NOT
belong to the believer in Jesus the Messiah!
Jesus healed the separation between God and man through His work
(the atonement) FOR US, and therefore ended Satan's dominion over
ALL who would trust in Messiah.
"For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might DESTROY the works of the devil." [1 John 3:8]
Action, including intercession, is
the key thing Satan is afraid of in your life and
ministry. He
has to STOP your action. But he can't if you do NOT let
him! "The kingdom of heaven suffers
violence, and the violent take it by force."
[Matthew 11:12] The Greek word for
"violent" here used is "biastes" and means a "forcer" or "one who
is energetic." The
devil is AFRAID of your ENERGY directed towards the
kingdom!
Follow this model: Effort, energy, enthusiasm.
Notice that most
of the attacks Satan makes against you are in the realm of the mind
through lies:
telling you that you are ill, weak, going to die . . . or using
imposed shame, fear, or discouragement.
This is why you must be proactive
and DECLARE the BLOOD of Christ over your body, mind, soul and
spirit each day.
(This way, even your emotions are covered.)
It's interesting to note that one of the names of the devil is
"Beelzebub." The original Hebrew name means
"Lord of the
flies" and
was the name of a Philistine [Palestinian] god. It was a "dung god"
. . . a "manure god." What a wonderful title for
Satan: "Lord of the maggots .
. . the manure god!" Dead
blood draws flies.
GOOD NEWS! The BLOOD of Jesus repulses Satan and his
demons. Speak the BLOOD over your home and
family.
Just as the Israelites applied the BLOOD to their doors so that the
death angel would pass over [Exodus 12], so you can apply the BLOOD
of Christ over your family and home by speaking it in faith over
them.
Declare the BLOOD of Messiah Jesus
over your loved ones daily and over all that God has given you by
birth, adoption, or
assignment!
In case you ever become . . . or have already been . . . a victim
of any of these attacks of Satan, and have suffered loss of
spiritual or physical dominion, I have again some Good News for
you. What has caused you to
suffer loss:
Sin? Disobedience? Bad decision? Attack from the enemy? Whatever it
was, God CAN turn the situation
around for you.
God WANTS to turn it around for you!
There are FOUR (4) major points to consider for recovering your
loss:
1. Realize there is a turning
point - a good future. (Remember King David.)
2. Do what God tells you to do. Pray, listen, and obey.
3. Make your past glorify God.
4. Go forward.
OTHER SCRIPTURES RELATED TO RECOVERING YOUR LOSSES
"So I will restore to you the
years . . . the locust [the enemy] has eaten. You will eat in
plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God,
who has dealt wondrously with you; My people will never be put to
shame." [Joel
2:25-26]
"As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will set
your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to the
stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today, I declare that I
will restore DOUBLE to you." [
Zechariah 9:11-12]
"Instead of your shame you will have DOUBLE honor, and instead of
confusion they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore, in their
land they will possess DOUBLE." [Isaiah 61:7]
"I will multiply upon you man and
beast; and they will increase and bear young [be fruitful]; I will
make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than
at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am the
LORD." [Ezekiel
36:11]
"And the LORD turned the captivity
of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job
twice as much as he had before. So the LORD blessed the latter end
of Job more than his beginning." [Job
42:10,12]
YOU
ARE GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL
FUTURE!!!
Remember that ACTION keeps you under the anointing so that you are
as a new, sharp threshing instrument. Knowing that the enemy's KEY
INTENTION is to STOP your action, you now have military
intelligence as to his plans. Your main focus NOW should be on
developing a spirit of excellence in your action. That's what The
University of Excellence is about.
There are SEVEN (7) things you need to cultivate a spirit of
excellence:
[1]
VISION
Spend time with God. Pray and fast for:
A fresh vision, and,
A prophetic anointing.
[2]
DETERMINATION
You need "bulldog" endurance and perseverance. You can't be a
"pansy" and you can't be a quitter. Be a warrior and
remember: "If
you don't quit, you will win!" (But
if you quit, you can't win!)
[3]
PRIORITIES
You need to put God's program FIRST in life. He will show you when
you need to spend time for family, for recreation, and for
fellowship. At times, He may have you spend LOTS of time on family,
recreation, and fellowship. But don't try to replace God's Kingdom
as your top priority. "You
seek first the kingdom of God, and all things will be added unto
you." [Matthew 6:33]
[4]
ACCOUNTABILITY
Accountability will give you real liberty. You need to be
accountable to:
Jesus, the Great Pastor, and,
Others, in ministry.
[5]
REST
You need to rest one day a week. This is God's plan and is
necessary for your overall long-term health and blessing. At times,
He may lead you to take extended periods of rest. Always obey Him
in these matters. He knows what is best for you . . . and for those
to whom you minister. You
can't minister effectively if you're worn out or burnt
out!
"For thus says the LORD God, the
Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you will be saved; in
quietness and confidence will be your strength."
[Isaiah 30:15]
Honoring and keeping the Sabbath will also enable you to
appropriate the rewards of a spirit of EXCELLENCE: delight,
dominion, and desires granted. [Isaiah
58:13-14]
You can't minister effectively if you're
worn out or burnt out! Here is some help for
you: Healing Through
Rest.
[6] A HEART FOR
GOD
The prophet Samuel said, "the
LORD has sought him a man after his own heart,"
describing King David. [1 Samuel
13:14] After being anointed, and successful as a king and military
leader . . . the champion of the people . . . King David, sinned
greatly. Even in the midst of his sin, he had a heart toward God,
which caused him to repent. He paid dearly for his sin, but even in
the midst of his sin, he loved God and was repentant.
In all his public official conduct he acted according to the Divine
mind, and fulfilled the will of his Maker: thus was he a man after
God's own heart. In reference to his private or personal moral
conduct, the word is never used.
So what was his problem? Why did David sin? The answer is: He
didn't FEAR God. He loved God, but He didn't fear Him at the time
of his great sin! We need to be not only morally reverent towards
God, but also to have a sense of alarm that will keep us from
walking off the path of righteousness. We need to think ahead of
time about the consequences of our sin and transgression. Our
Father in Heaven loves us too much to let us get away with such
behavior. There is not much preaching on holiness anymore. We need
to LOVE GOD and to FEAR GOD; then we will have a heart for God.
In David's rulership of the Kingdom, in his official conduct, he
fulfilled the will of God; however, in his private life and
personal conduct he failed miserably . . . but then repented. This
brings to light THREE very important things to
consider:
Your actions can bring reproach on God, yourself, your family, your
friends, your nation, and your cause.
Your actions can give your enemies occasion to slander you and also mock the God you are supposed to be serving.
Your actions can bring severe judgment upon you and your family.
In the heat of temptation you need
to consider these things. Are you willing to pay the price? Do you
LOVE God and your family enough to protect them from the results of
your sin? Do you FEAR God enough to prohibit you from doing the
thing(s) you are considering?
[7]
INTEGRITY
Honesty and moral uprightness are the KEY INDICATORS of the God
shaped life. The
deeper your character . . . the greater your
impact! Many
things that we question in life, even small things, are a TEST of
our integrity. God is constantly testing us to see if we can be
entrusted with greater giftings, talents, skills, and
responsibilities.
Integrity is a two edged sword. It is an instrument of
blessing:
For
ourselves --
We must live with ourselves in all good conscience.
"For if our heart condemn us, God
is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved if our
heart condemn us not, then we have confidence toward
God." [1 John 3:20-21] This assures us
of answered prayer and provision. "And
whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his
commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his
sight." [Verse 22]
For
others --
Our families, our friends, our parishioners, our communities . . .
our progeny . . . all are impacted by our integrity. The quality of
our life is a direct antecedent of the same. The degree of
EXCELLENCE of your life and ministry predetermines your future and
many times, the future of those to whom you minister and
love.
Your integrity and faithfulness
here on Planet Earth will also predetermine your future in the
Millennial Kingdom with Messiah. Your position in the Kingdom and
your assignment will be determined by the EXCELLENCE of your
integrity and faithfulness here on earth.
So ...
now you know HOW to defeat the
triangle of loss―fear, shame and mental
oppression―the triple trick of the devil to steal
your productivity and joy. Now ... you can fulfill your purpose in
life: and be productive in the desires God Almighty has placed in
your heart.
LIVE A LIFE OF EXCELLENCE!
