Power in the Word of God: Total Victory in God’s presence. Part 2

In the presence of God is the anointing and this is his power. I heard Benny Hinn talk about the sheep in Israel being rubbed with olive oil to keep the bugs off. Bugs can be likened to demonic activity or enemies of man. Fire goes before the Lord and consumes all his enemies. Anointing keeps the bugs off your life. If you are a child of God, then all your enemies become his enemies and they are consumed by God’s fire as you learn to be in his presence.

Galatians 5:1- "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free,and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage".

Many people want solution to their problems but not necessarily God. They want God only on their own terms. Many go from one deliverance service to another but instead of their problem getting better, it gets worse. It is only the presence of God that gives total victory.

Luke 11:24-26 - “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

We need to be completely full of the Holy Spirit so that the enemy will have no place in our lives. We need to be more intimate with his word, meditating on his word until his word becomes part of us. We must stop using the word of God as “chewing gum” because chewing gum is not swallowed and so does not become part of the body.

James 1:21b - "Receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls".

Until the word of God is planted in our hearts, we will not benefit from it. It is the word of God that has already become part of us that can deliver us in hard times. If you are still struggling in any area of your life, then you need more of the presence of God.

1 John 4:17-18- "Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love".

If you are still living in fear and condemnation then you need more of God. Wounded hearts are healed, word curses are destroyed, and evil ties are broken in the presence of God. The bible says that as Christ is, so are we in this world. If we are not as Christ yet even though in our spirit man we are like him, then we need more of him. Time spent with God is not wasted time but it is sowing time and we will reap in due time if we do not give up.
