| Please read part 1 before you read this part. Lets pick up where we left off: Understand this, the enemy is going to use everything he can, every trick every power that is at his disposel against you. I am not trying to scare you, Iam just warning you. He is gona try to use your past mistakes and your past flows. But let me tell you God already knows about those pasts. There is nothing the devil can come up with or throw in your face that God does not know about. Whatever is in your past let it be in your past. If you have already ask God for forgiveness, then he has thrown those things in the sea of forgetfulness, never more to be remembered. And if God has forgotten them, then you should forget them, regardless of what the devil says. But if you keep alowing him to remind you of the past and keep you in the past, you will never be able to reach the destiney that God has got for your life. Our text Luke 5:1-2 says Jesus comes down by the lake and saw the fishermen "washing there nets." This may not mean much to the average joe, but to Jesus it means a lot .Fishing was a big industry back in those days. And these men were on the shore washing there nets. And Jesus reconized this, he also saw that they had not caught any fish. And putting this togather Jesus saw that they had given up, and quit. It would blow your mind to know how many people , how many husbands , how many wives or children of all ages who are washing there nets. They are washing their nets and giving up, giving up on school, giving up on home, friends, and some giving up on life. Its the spirit of failure and it could happen to any one. Failure is negative and we are tought not to be negative, but sometimes giving up and running away can be sweet in the mouth of someone who is tired of being mistreated, being made fun of, being picked on,or being laughed at. But I want to tell you something today, THE DEVIL IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!! you can not give up or quit. Its not over until God says its over. You maybe going through Hell and Highwater, But it is not over, God wants you to Know that you have an appointment with a blessing and a testamony. God is about to get some Glory out of the things you have been struggling with. What you have been struggling with, that thing thats been causing you to feel like giving up, God is fixing to turn it around in your life "not by might nor by power, but buy the spirit of God." You need to tell your self "I AM NOT GONA FAIL - I AM A WINNER." You have to keep telling yourself " I may have not caught any fish, things may not be going as I want it to, but I am not giving up. I am not going to let the devil attack me with the spirit of failure, I will not be caught washing my nets. Because God has something greater for my life. I got to reach for the prize and mark and highcalling of God." Just like the fisherman. you need to get back into lifes boat, no matter how bad the storms, and trust God, and HE WILL BE THERE. You are not failure, you are not loser. you are not quitter. You are a child of God and are from a royal priesthood. In conclusion, if you give in to the spirit of failure you will not see the promises of God in your life. I want tell you this, not giving into it will bring you joy unspeakable, God will open the windows of heavan and pour you out a blessing you want have room to cantain. May God bless you |
