Ladies and Gentlemen, we need to have a CLEAR understanding of His Power & His Authority!

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received His Mercy, we do not lose heart.

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the Word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the Truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

But even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the Light of the Gospel of the Glory of Christ, who is the Image of God, should shine on them.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bond servants for Jesus’ sake.

For it is the God who commanded Light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the Excellence of the POWER may be of God and not of us.

We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed — always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the Life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.  Bible LINK = Galatians 2:20

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

So then death is working in us, but Life in you.

And since we have the same Spirit of Faith, according to what is written, I believed and therefore I spoke,  Psalm 116:10  we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, that His Grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the Glory of God.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and Eternal weight of Glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are Eternal.

Bible LINK = 2Corinthians 4:1-18

Dear ones, there is a term being used in our modern world that is – Digital Warriors!

These are people who PUBLISH items, beliefs, positions, information, and concepts on the “Internet” that reflect attitudes and actions to convey what is a form of TRUTH!

Just like Satan (Lucifer – Devil) used Scriptures to try and deceive Jesus while He was in the wilderness, alone and weak after fasting 40 days, some people will bombard other people with half-truths, innuendos, and false information as FACTS. These evil minions will use words and phrases that SEEM logical but are corrupt to their very core.

The SOLUTION is discernment!  How we know for certain the difference between Truth & Facts as opposed to LIES & Deceptions. These things are Spiritually in nature and can only be discerned by our Spirit!

Just like JESUS (Son of GOD-Jehovah & Son of man – Immanuel) responded and defeated Satan by His Words and His actions, we also can and should use the written Word of Almighty GOD to resist these blatantly false accusations against us.

Holy Spirit, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in  1Corinthians 2:11-16

For what man knows the things of a man except the Spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing Spiritual things with Spiritual.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?”  Bible LINK = Isaiah 40:13

But we have The Mind of Christ!

LORD, we want to SEE exactly what You SEE and speak Your Words in absolute TRUTH and with Your Compassionate LOVE towards EVERYONE we meet in our sphere of influence this DAY!

Make it SO Dear LORD, make it SO!
