NEW BEGINNINGS!  It’s time to let go and kiss the “Labans” of our lives  goodbye.  We have Jesus.  We have the Holy Soirit.  We awake to righteousness.  We have a revelation of who we are in Christ.  We depend upon the Lord for our every need not upon man.

When we depend upon man, satan will see to it the types of people who thrive upon others’ weaknesses will walk into our lives.  They see weakness and try to take advantage of us.  They see “sucker” written on our faces.  They try to manipulate and coerce.  They try to make us think we can’t do it without them.  For example, in business because we are “Christians”, we should “give ‘em a deal”, a discount or whatever.  Business and personal losses have we suffered at the hands of these persons.  We thought, we needed to do it their way.  They’re “always right,” right?  Wrong!  God is the ONE WHO IS ALWAYS RIGHT!  He always knows what’s right for us.

If we allow ourselves to believe in our hearts that we are less than God says we are, we’re  opening ourselves up for a “rip off” experience, by the “rip off” artist himself, satan.   He smells intimidation, insecurity, inadequacy and inferiority a mile or even ten miles away.  God wants us to be savvy, and to be “wise as serpents and gentle as doves.”

When we allow Him to show us our weaknesses, admit He’s right, that we can do nothing apaart from Him, we’re going somewhere.  We’re going up.  Out of the pit and into the palace.  Out of the depresseion and the “mollygubbs” and into the “joy unspeakable and full of glory” place–into God’s presence.  If we stay in that place, that place of brokenness, surrender and dependence we’ll be walking in the spirit not in the flesh,  even as awesome-living “the high life “  is, as the THE SONS OF GOD!

So today we kiss the “Labans” of our lives goodbye.  We confess, I do not need you any more.  God is MY SOURCE.  He supplies all of my needs not as “Laban” did but ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS!  (Wow!)  My security is in Jesus.  My value is in Jesus.  When I’m weak, I’m strong (in Him).  He says also, “let the weak say, I am strong;   let the poor say, I’m rich; let the sick say, I’m healed; let the bound say, I’m free.”

From the salvation experience until now, we’ve always had everything we needed to do everything God’s called us to do.  It’s been there all of the time.  Where?  Inside our spirit man.  Now, how do we get from there to our minds, that distance that is about eighteen inches?  We get it by praying in the Holy Ghost, asking for interpretation in our natural language and receiving it by faith.  “I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray with my understanding.  I will sing with my spirit and I will sing with my understanding also.  For who may know the thoughts and knowledge of the Lord that he may instruct Him?  But WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST–HOLDING HIS THOUGHTS, FEELINGS AND PURPOSES IN OUR HEARTS!”   Gen. 31:35; Phil. 4:1; Jn. 10:10; Mt. 10:16; Jn. 15:5; Rm. 8:1, 14; Joel 3:10; ICor.. 14:15;  1Cor. 2:16.

This is a Word From the Lord  on April 21, 2006  given to a very anointed intercessor and prophetes that has been sent on missions to anoint with oil key places such as the capitol building in Washington, DC.   Marilyn Hoover, mahoov08@yahoo.com
