OVERCOMERS

Dear One,
Winning and overcoming are the same. When you overcome negatives such as depression, distrust, anger, fretting, fear, hatred, guilt, condemnation, judgment, domination, suffering and self-pity, then you have won the battle over them. You have overcome and you won.
You are the head and not the tail. You are a winner. You are not a loser.
The first strategic action toward becoming a winner, an overcomer, is to consider yourself a winner. When you think of yourself as an overcomer, then you have established your position as a winner and you will become an overcomer.
If you allow yourself to entertain thoughts of being a loser, a victim, then you will become a loser because you consider yourself underneath rather than above circumstances.
My children are not losers. My children are already winners over every adversity in their earthly life, every tribulation the enemy tries to use to entice them to give in to his schemes to make them lose in life.
When you know you have already won because I have already given you the power, the abilities and the authority to win, then you will win, you will overcome.
Remember this, to the winners belongs the spoils. In My family, to the winners over the devil's destructive emotions and actions belong the blessings.
Jesus won every battle over evil. I gave you the same power through the Holy Spirit to win every battle over temptation, tribulation and the testing of faith that the devil sends your way.
To the winners belong the blessings and you are a winner because of My life in you.
Love, God

CLANGING CYMBALS

Dear One,
I told you that a habit of lamenting about your trials in life or another person's trials in life is having a parade for the devil and his works. It is like praising his horrible activity.
When you truly love yourself and others, you don't glorify the bad things that happen, you put love to work by praying in the Spirit for them to change the bad situation to a good one.
Love is always active. Love is always motivated to do the highest work of love, which is extensive prayer until a perfect result is reached.
That is what I meant when I said that if you do good things but have not love, then you are like a clanging cymbal, parading the works of the devil in a parade for him by speaking about the evil works instead of loving enough to pray until the bad situation is perfected.
Do not have a parade for the devil with clanging cymbals and gongs, calling attention to his negative works. Have a parade for Me and My works by praying My powerful words in prayer. Then you will have a joyful parade of telling about My works in the situation to reverse negative situations and making them glorious situations. Others will also join in the praises because good overcame evil. .
Love, God

Wilderness Experiences

Dear One,
When you visit an earthly wilderness time seems to stand still because of the lack of human activity there.
The same is true, it often seems, when praying and believing for answers to prayers, it seems like time stands still and nothing is done in the heavens for you in order to facilitate answers to your prayers. Yet, mountains are being moved and buildings are being built and hearts are being changed in the spiritual dimension for you, even if you can't see evidence of it. Faith is the evidence of it, believing that I am working for you.
You must apply patience to the waiting period, the wilderness period, remembering that you inherit all of My blessings by faith and patience.
Love, God
Hebrews 6:12
