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. __________________________________________________
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. If you are afraid of someone, ask God to give you His love for them. A stayed (fixed) mind. __________________________________________________
Adamic 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. "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! 1. Realize there is a turning point - a good future. (Remember King David.) 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] YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL FUTURE!!! A fresh vision, and, [2] DETERMINATION Jesus, the Great Pastor, and, Others, in ministry. [5] REST You can't minister effectively if you're worn out or burnt out! Here is some help for you: Healing Through Rest. 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? For ourselves -- 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. LIVE A LIFE OF EXCELLENCE!

I want you to burn the following scriptures into your mind: "Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded." [2 Chronicles 15:7] "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." [1 Corinthians 15:58] "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." [Galatians 6:9] There is a time to rest, there is a time to heal, there is a time to reflect, there is a time to regroup . . . however, let God lead you in these times. Be led of the Spirit in these times just as you are in the days of battle. Never quit! As we discuss in the book The Art and Principles of Christian Warfare, we only regroup so that we may advance in battle more powerfully and effectively. Recently I have been studying the life of King David again. I felt as though I were with him. I almost cried when reading and reflecting upon the consequences of his sin. It is plain to see where David's problem started: "And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem." [2 Samuel 11:1] Lust, adultery, murder, fourfold judgment on his family: these were the results of NOT going to war at the time of year when the other kings went to battle. In this teaching, "Goal Attainment: Actions Speak Louder than Goals," I am going to help you make sure that NEVER happens in your life. It is interesting to notice that things turned around for King David after HE turned around. In 2 Samuel 18:1-4 we read that, "David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them." David then split the warriors up into three parts under the leadership of his top three generals, and said to the people, "I will surely go forth with you myself also." But the people said to him, "You shall not go forth (with us) . . . for you are worth ten thousand of us . . . it is better that you aid us from the city." And David answered, "What seems best to you I will do." Notice that David's intent was to go to battle with his army; this is what is important: the intent of the heart. He had learned his lesson the hard way. Never stop fighting, at least in the intent of your heart. You must MAINTAIN a "warrior" mentality. You must have spiritual and mental control of the situation at all times. Even in times of "R and R" (rest and recreation) you must maintain a warrior attitude and be listening to God for instructions about the future battle(s). Your job is to constantly appropriate victory through faith as you listen to and obey the voice of the Spirit for the glory of God. YOU CAN NOT STOP FIGHTING . . . EVER! This is a message for many of God's People. Is this YOUR experience? You ... Have not fulfilled your heart's desires in your life's calling (including ministry desires); Whenever asked about the secret of his success, real estate developer and billionaire, Donald Trump, always answers, "Do what you enjoy!" It's true. We must be excited about our work . . . especially Christians and those in God's work. The purpose of this teaching is to both CHALLENGE you and HELP you: Enjoy your work; Do what you want; and, Maintain victory so that you can always take action. Be the person you always wanted to be . . . make it happen! King Solomon said, "There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul [enjoy] good in his labor. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God." [Ecclesiastes 2:24] Many people are "stale" and not on the cutting edge because they do NOT enjoy their work. They love God but are lacking the anointing to be a "new sharp threshing instrument." [Isaiah 41:15] The enemy's job is to get you discouraged . . . and then to lose your vision. If this describes you, I have some good news for you. If you will do what I teach you in this message, things will begin to change. Do some fasting, get alone and seek God. Then, in the Spirit, tear down the walls that are limiting you. Take your authority and BELIEVE GOD for the things you once desired! Get back on track. Don't give up and don't take LESS than the best! Let me repeat that: Fast, get alone, seek God; Remember, if you don't quit, you'll win ... but if you quit, you can't win! There was a movie several years ago titled "Stuck On You" which starred Matt Damon and Cher. It was about two brothers who were Siamese twins. Finally, the brothers realized they needed to be separated (physically) in order to do what each brother wanted to fulfill in his lifetime. They reached this decision when one brother asked the other, "What is that thing you want to do MOST in the world?" And then he challenged his brother with this admonition: "You have to do it!" Let me recommend eight (8) steps to take in order to help get you out of your "desensitized spirituality" and into the vortex of God's anointing: [1] As much as possible, stop all activity for a while, even ministry. [2] Get "loose," relax, and enjoy God. NOTE: Many times you will be tempted to start a new ministry or outreach right away (while relaxing in your time of rest). That would be like shooting yourself in the foot while you're walking to the hospital. If God has given you NEW ideas or directives, take skeletal notes (or even copious notes if you feel the necessity). Then store the notes for the future time of implementing the project(s). You will find that, as you're relaxing in the sunshine of God's love, an abundance of ideas will come to you. [3] Take time to dream. As we studied in the Introductory Module, Albert Einstein, perhaps the greatest mathematician and physicist of the last century, had two (2) major assets: A childlike questioning character (like a four or five-year-old); and, In the first part of the book, The Art and Principles of Christian Warfare, I ask the question, "How long has it been since you've asked your Heavenly Father some childlike questions?" Questions like: What can you do to reach every nation and tribe for Messiah Yeshua? How long has it been since you: Discarded all your ideas about how to minister? [4] Know who you are. Read through the epistles; learn once again WHO you are in Christ and WHAT you have in Christ. You have to come to the place, once again, where you KNOW the calling and destiny that has been designed for you before the foundation of the world. True holiness, and also true Biblical prosperity, is to KNOW that you're working "hand-in-hand" with God to shake nations for Christ. [5] Meditate. Find the scriptures (rhema) that speak to you concerning your calling and destiny and dwell on them. Speak them to yourself. See yourself doing the things involved with your calling and destiny. Image them upon the screen of your mind. See the places and the activities and then THANK God for their fulfillment. Receive them by faith. Speak, See, Thank God, Receive. [6] Change your environment (and maybe your friends). This is why God sent his servants into different areas, sometimes as a result of hard-times. It's a lot easier if you do it for yourself, with the leading of the Holy Spirit. Imitational faith, the copying of ministry styles used by others, results in not only lack of creativity, but also "inbreeding" in the Body of Christ. Study more here >>> about Imitational Faith. Be yourself . . . be original! Don't be afraid to be different. Study the lifestyles of God's servants through the centuries: in the Bible, and throughout Christian church history. [7] Re-evaluate your goals. Which ones have been accomplished? Are there any goals that you feel you should scrap for now, or permanently? Which ones are not accomplished yet? Ask yourself: Why are they not accomplished? Where are you in your time line, or schedule, for their fulfillment? What action will you take to implement them in a timely fashion? Are there any new goals or projects God wants you to undertake? If so, do they fit into the general scheme of your other goals? Are they completely separate from your other goals? [8] Make your plans fit into God's plans. The GREATEST ADVICE I can give you concerning your plans is as follows: IF YOUR PLANS FIT INTO GOD'S PLANS . . . Cry out to God and tell Him you want to be used greatly by Him ... that you don't want to come home to Heaven until you've fulfilled, with excellence, your calling and your destiny. And remember the words of King Solomon: "He that fears God will come forth of them all." We are to fear God . . . NOT men, demons, or anything else. The enemy knows that if he can get you to fear anyone or anything other than God, he can cancel your fear of God and thereby void the operation of wisdom in your life . . . at least temporarily until you become aware of what's happening. You have to "shut off" the ideas of fear and replace them with IDEAS OF FAITH. Use visual thoughts when you have thoughts of concern. You will eliminate most of Satan's attacks on your mind. You will also destroy Satanic activity in its tracks! When you have thoughts of fear, replace them with VISUAL THOUGHTS. So when you have thoughts of fear . . . about your family, your possessions, your health, your ministry . . . replace them with VISUAL THOUGHTS. See the Holy Angels ministering to, blessing and guarding your family, your possessions, your health, and your ministry. By visualizing your thoughts, you can even add emphasis (power and potency) to them by decreeing them. Use the Holy Angels in your thoughts . . . see them helping you. See the BLOOD of Christ over everything God has given you by birth, adoption, and assignment. To help you with strategies for success and goal attainment in the LORD's work (or any work whose goal is to help build God's Kingdom) I recommend the following book: The Art of Christian Warfare: Rules of Engagement.
