Principle
5: Pre-marital Sex is not the will of God for your life When I have sex outside of marriage, I set myself up for curses and a defeated life. In addition, I develop a “soul tie” with the individual.. Ephesians
5:3
Principle
10: Rebellion Romans
13:1-2 or 1 Samuel 15:23 Rebellion
occurs when a person: e)
Doesn't cast down thoughts that don't line up with the Word, as well as
operates out of emotion in order to hinder the progress of Christian Ministry
or any type of organization. f)
Doesn't follow the directions and "unction" of the Holy Spirit. Principle 13: God blesses obedience and curses disobedience Scriptures: Deuteronomy 28:15-68: "But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commands and His statues which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you………." The
bible says that we are God's chosen people, a royal priesthood, and the
righteousness of God. We have
these titles because we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
Since we have this title, this means that we are Christ's
representatives here on earth.
God's word says in Ephesians 1 that we have all spiritual blessings that
pertain to life and godliness. The
only way that blessings are released from the Spirit Realm is through Obedience
and Sowing Seeds to reap a harvest.
Obedience causes us to constantly walk under God's continued blessings,
while disobedience to the spoken and written word of God causes us to walk
under God's continued curses.
God's blessing is the ability or empowerment to prosper, while curses
are the ability or empowerment to fail!!!!
The bible says that you choose whether you will have blessings or
curses depending on your actions. If
you want blessings, then you'll have to make your mind and your flesh conform
to the Word of God.
Principle 14: Casting down Thoughts Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:5: ....casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. We
as Christians have an advantage!!!! Our
fights against persons, etc. are not flesh (in the natural), but in the
spirit!!! Our fight is with the
enemy in the spirit realm. As a believer, we are always victorious as long as
we are filled with the Holy Spirit, obedient, and are giving to God. As
stated before, the enemy will always attack you. The enemy attacks us 1st in the mind.
He will put thoughts in our head that do not line up with the word so
that we will get off God's track or plan for our life.
It is our job to cast down all thoughts verbally that the enemy places
in our head so that he will flee. Say
this when a thought pops up "Satan I bind you and I cast down that
thought which doesn't line up with the written and spoken word of God".
Principle 18: Fasting, A Key to Hearing Clearly From the Lord Scripture: Daniel 9:3 “Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes”. Fasting is voluntarily abstaining from food for spiritual purposes. In Jesus' public ministry, he fasted from food for 40 days and 40 nights (Matthew 4:2). Fasting has been regularly practiced by God's people in the Old and New Testatments. Fasting does the following: |
