Girdling of the Soul in the Hope And The VICTORY Of The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ is the prescription we need in order to navigate through the difficulties of these trying times that have come upon the world for divine purposes that are misunderstood by most. Pastor Landis Fisher teaches us a lesson today that calls all believers to fear and trust God to guide us as He has always done for those who believe in Him through His Son Jesus The Christ Who has defeated death forever more!
Proverbs 1:7 (KJV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 9:10-11 (KJV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
Old Testament Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:6 – 10 (KJV)
1 Samuel 2:6-10 (KJV) The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
New Testament Scripture: 1 John 2:20 – 27 (KJV)
1Jn 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
1Jn 2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1Jn 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
1Jn 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1Jn 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) As we are witnessing what Jesus has described as “The beginning of sorrows” as believers in God we need to be connected in the Holy Spirit of God to attain perfect knowledge and perfect wisdom which are freely given to us by God through faith in His Son Jesus Christ in order to successfully navigate through the troubling days just ahead as we approach what many are calling “The New Normal”.
2) Please realize that there is no high level of “status” (according to the world’s standards) that qualifies us to receive this Wisdom and Knowledge from God the Holy Spirit, but that we can do all things just as Hannah did through simple faith in the revealed revelation of Almighty God to be used every single day as long as we learn to “walk by faith and not by sight” while we are traveling through the valley of the shadow of death which Jesus has ALREADY defeated VICTORIOUSLY for ALL who BELIEVE Him, Who ALONE SAVES!
3) John the Apostle (whom Jesus loved!) teaches us that as we “abide in faith in God the Son Who alone has given to each believer the “Anointing of the indwelling Holy Spirit” we have the Father also, for the purpose of giving immediate instructions custom tailored to fit each and every circumstance and every matter of our lives, which is AMAZING!
