Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Out of Sight, Out of Mind...
I'm sorry to say, Brothers, is not victory over your sin. Just because your temptation hasn't manifest in a few days or weeks or months, doesn't mean that you're walking in victory and that sanctification is working effectually in your heart and mind. Biblical victory for the Christian man is when the Enemy, the World, Your Flesh, or the Devil, come in like a flood, the Holy Spirit of God raises up a STANDARD against it. A divine work of God is produced in your life in real-time and you know Christ is truly Lord over these adversaries. It is a work of peace and divine strength, not of striving, anxiety and fear.

“So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].” (Is 59:19 AMP)

Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Th 2:7–12 ESV)

I was listening to a conversation this afternoon about Madonna’s recent headline where she exposed a seventeen year-old girl at one of her concerts. The girl is reported as saying…

“Seriously, why would I sue Madonna for the best moment of my life?,” (the girl) told The Courier Mail. “It was the best night.”

Are You Able To Drink His Cup

Luke chapter 12, verses 49 and 50.

I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! I’ve been going to meetings for over seventy years all over the world—Pentecostal conferences, Methodist conferences, all kinds of conferences.

I have heard the baptism of the Holy Spirit preached, I think, fifty different ways.

In seventy years, I’ve never heard anybody preach on this text where Jesus, speaking of Himself says: “I have a baptism...”
