• There is always a right time to hear something and respond to it as God is speaking to you
• God sees the end from the beginning.
• We don’t frustrate the agenda of satan on the day it is manifesting, we frustrate it beforetime.
Luke 22:31-32
• When a spirit interacts with a man and is interested in that person, the spirit will change the desires / appetites of the person.
• The spirit will bring its own desires into that person and the person will discover that they don’t like what they used to like anymore.
• For example if a person used to be a prostitute and was making a comfortable living off prostitution and turns to the Lord. The first thing that will happen is that all the pleasures and comforts that she was enjoying will go away before Christ can manifest Himself through them and if they are not properly discipled they can backslide as they compare how “comfortable” their lives were before they got born again.
• When you begin to follow God, the Spirit of God will kill all those things that are in you which He didn’t plan, including all those pleasures you were drawing from a wrong source.
• When this is happening, it will seem like you are under attack but you are actually undergoing a transition.
• When you meet men who have walked with God, they have stories of things they have left in order to follow Jesus and things they have gained as a result.
• There are things you must walk away from as a disciple of Jesus.
Luke 19:22, Mark 10:28-30
• Whatever you left for Jesus is is a seed which comes back to you as a a harvest.
• Some blessings are delayed because we have not built up the muscle required to withstand persecution.
• How do you know you can handle persecution? By how you behave when someone has offended you.
• Persecution is heavy.
• How will you handle it when people say you are a witch or that your business breakthrough is not from God?
• How will you react when your business competitors put a coffin at the entrance of your business premises?
PRAYER POINT:
FATHER, BY REASON OF THE MOVEMENTS YOU HAVE MADE IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT, I ENTER MY HARVEST.
