Your Notes June 21st 2009

JESUS IS ON YOUR SIDE Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world. The Holy Spirit in us is greater than Satan and all the forces of darkness. Our Father God in us is greater than sin, sickness, and disease. God in us is greater than lack, want, and need. God in us is greater than any circumstance that we might face, greater than any obstacle that comes up before us. God in us is greater than any challenge that comes into our life. God in us is greater than any adversity that comes against us. He is greater than our own doubts, insecurities, or uncertainties. He is greater than anything this life can throw at us. The same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead lives in us; He quickens and makes alive our mortal body. It's not our talent, our wisdom, or our strength but by His Spirit that causes us to succeed in life. We are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ. We can face the circumstances of life with Holy Ghost boldness and confidence. He puts us over; He causes us to succeed. The Greater One lives in us and we cannot fail. We choose to be a blessing to all those around us. No matter what happens today, we know God will see us through. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, and if God is for us then no one can be against us. We choose to honour God today by the words we speak; we will honour God by the way we act. We will honour God by allowing His love, light, and truth to shine through us. Therefore today we declare: “We are the head and not the tail; We are above only and not beneath. We are blessed coming in and going out. We are ready for anything and equal to anything through Christ Jesus. He always causes us to triumph. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. We are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. This is the day that the Lord has made!”

“Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages). Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.”

Hebrews 13:8, 1 John 4:4.
