“Divine Reversal”!!

PROPHETIC SCRIPTURE

Deuteronomy portrays Christ as our “True Prophet!”

Text:  Deuteronomy 28:7

The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way and flee before thee seven ways.

TODAY we decree divine reversal! We’re decreeing that discouragement turns into encouragement, setbacks become increase, fear becomes faith, and all lack turns into surplus. We declare that sickness becomes health and fatigue is replaced by energy and life. We declare that hindrances move out of the way and are replaced by breakthrough and results.

We declare that every question becomes an answer and that all areas of confusion turn into clarity. We decree that strife becomes unity and frustration turns into success. We say all things that have been negatively set into motion are now completely reversed!

May all that concerns you experience a complete and total divine reversal and turnaround from heaven in Jesus’ mighty Name!

I’m coming with a “WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT” for the body this day.

Through the years of our schooling, most of us learned in science class that when something has been set in motion, it will stay in motion until it is interrupted by an opposing force. How many know this fact also holds true in spiritual things.

For example, Proverbs 18:21 says we can set the power of death and life into motion by what we say. If we speak negatively, we set negative things (death) into motion. If we speak positively, we also put the positive (life) into motion. Whatever we have been speaking will stay in motion until it is interrupted by the opposite. Today we are releasing the opposite to any negatives that have been in motion in your life. The enemy may have come against you in some way, but we are releasing the opposite with our words of declaration and expecting a divine reversal to occur that sends the forces of darkness running in the opposite direction!

Again, I’m declaring today that negatives in your life will be reversed in Jesus’ Name!

 First, let us define Divine.  It means Godlike; godly; the nature of God.

Acts 17:28: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said. For we are also his offspring.

2 Peter 1:3 

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.

That which is ideal is that which exists as an idea, model, etc; thought of as perfect.  A couple of synonyms for “ideal” are excellent and perfect.  We do serve an excellent and perfect God! So God’s Divine Ideal is the Christ man or the divine idea (thought; concept; image) of the divine man. Christ is Divine!

Fillmore said something very interesting: “Jesus is the name that represents an individual expression of the Christ idea” (thought; image; representation; likeness).

Jesus Christ is the form of the name that is commonly applied to the man of Galilee who demonstrated perfection. He said “Jesus Christ is the fulfillment in man of that original spiritual “I AM or Jehovah.”  And that “Jehovah of the Old Testament is the “I AM,” or Christ of God Invisible.”

Christ Jesus is the idea that is being expressed by men as the result of their faith in and understanding of Truth. Each of us have within us the Christ, just as Jesus had, and we must look within to recognize and realize our son-ship, our divine origin, and our birth, even as He did. See, that is the “Divinity within us”, the Christ that is the real (actual truth) of every man.

1 Corinthians 3:23: And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

1 Corinthians 6:15: Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?

1 Corinthians 12:27: Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

1John 4:17: Because as he is, so are we, in this world.

 

People, I’m trying to tell you that you are the ”Divine!”

Now let’s define reversal.

Reversal - is an act or instance of reversing; an adverse change of fortune.

Reverse is opposite or contrary in position, direction, order, or character. It also means pertaining to or producing movement in a mechanism opposite to that made under ordinary running conditions.

At the beginning of this message did not God say, “Today we are releasing the opposite to any negatives that have been in motion in your life? The enemy may have come against you in some way, but we are releasing the opposite with our words of declaration and expecting a divine reversal to occur that sends the forces of darkness running in the opposite direction! And today those negatives in your life will be reversed in Jesus’ Name!”

So, starting today we’re taking authority over OUR WORDS!!!

Did not God tell us months ago to “Watch Our Words?”

Listen people of God, when God speaks, it’s the final authority. We have to take hold of that like we really mean it, because circumstances will constantly try to be in opposition to God’s Word. Sickness will try to arise when God’s Word promises healing.

2^nd Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and sek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.                                                                                          

James 5:14: Is any sick among you?  Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in th name of the Lord:  vs 15: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up:  and if he have committed siins, they shall be forgiven him.  Vs 16: Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another, that you may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

3 John 1:2: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest propser and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.          

                                                                                      

Isaiah 53:5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:  the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with is stripes we are healed.                                                                                                                      

Poverty and lack will try to settle in when God promises abundance.

Same chapter of the text Deuteronomy 28:1: And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:  vs 2: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.  Vs 3: Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.  Vs 4: Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.  Vs 5: Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.  Vs 6: Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

Rejection and fear will try to overtake God’s promises of acceptance and faith.

Hebrews 6:12: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

2 Timothy 1:7: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Romans 8:15: For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

(And that Spirit of adoption is son-ship)! Hallelujah!!!!

Often, negative circumstances will try to speak to your mind and can be unrelenting, meaning, maintaining speed, effort, vigor, or intensity of attacks. Therefore, we need to keep God’s Word fresh in our hearts. Instead of just quoting a scripture you have memorized, open your Bible and get that word deep into your heart afresh. Read it to yourself and read it aloud. Say it over and over and “chew on it” in your mind.

·        Joshua 1:8: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate (think about; consider; ponder) therein day and night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written therein:  for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

In order to combat the enemy, we must have a firm grip on the Word of God. One of Satan’s chief tactics is to snatch the Word of God away from us so we will not grow in the area of discipleship even son-ship.

In the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:1-19, Jesus told of a man who went forth to sow seed. According to verse 4, some fell by the way-side, and the fowls came and devoured them up.

Jesus said: vs 18: Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.  Vs 19: When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, then cometh the wicked one and catches away that which was sown in his hart.  This is he which received seed by the wayside.

You see the seed is, “The Word of God!”

The fowls of the air are the ones held in captivity by the system.

So, Satan is out to take God’s Word from our hearts.

Psalms 119:11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

2 Corinthians 3:3: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 

Jesus commands us in Matthew 11:15: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

But Romans 10:14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 

We must have a preacher that’s not afraid to cry loud and spare not. 

(1^st Timothy 1:4) Neither gives heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

(2^nd Timothy 4:4) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

(Titus 1:14) And not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

The best way to increase our hearing ability is to open our spiritual ear and heart to what thus saith The LORD!!! Listen and take notes.

Then give attendance to reading.

1^st Timothy 4:13: Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

Then according to 2^nd Timothy 2:15: Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

When we study instead of just reading the scriptures it allows us to divide the word and enables us to make a straight cut that is to dissect (expound) correctly (the divine message or word of truth):--rightly dividing. Hallelujah!!!

Last Meditation:

This is letting the Word of God speak to you and edify you. It is also applying what you have heard, read, and studied to your life.                   Meditation makes Bible Study personal and profitable.

Psalms 1:2: But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.  Vs 3: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and what soever he doeth shall prosper.

When we meditate we will delight with pleasure, hence desire; make his Word concretely a valuable thing, that’s the meaning of meditate.  What’s meant by this?

Then he shall be like a tree meaning firmness. We will be fastened (or made firm).

Then our leaves will not wither (fall or fail); but shall bring forth fruit (grow or increase; or reward for special services). The leaf meaning foliage or branch; it also means arise (up); cause to ascend; break of day or dawning.

Simply meaning, we, “The Sun (sons) of righteousness” shall arise with healing in our wings to heal the nations. 

Hallelujah!!! We won’t be sowing doctrines of religion to the people, but seeds of Truth. We will be sowing Christ and His power and Anointing.  

We are the trees God is using to feed the people with.  Those that have the fruit of son-ship that will be able to bring those in the church system back to the “Tree of Life who is Jesus the Christ!”

·        Isaiah 61:3: To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Praise the Lord!!!!! 

So, Sons of God!!!  Declare Divine Reversal today…..Negativity in your life will be reversed in “The Name of Christ Jesus!!!”

For God said in His Word!!!  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)

I’m taking hold of God’s Word and He said, “My Word unto you never fails. If I promised it, I shall make it good.”  So let this be your only thought today, and any time thoughts come to mind that oppose MY WORD, reject them.

2 Corinthians 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Philippians 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Philippians 3:13  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before:  vs14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Know for certain that “My Word” never falls short of its intended purpose.

Look people of God, God’s Words are our words. We must come to the place where our words and God’s Words are “one”.

What does the Word say in Deuteronomy 30!  Vs14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

According to that scripture whatever you say you shall get, and our bones are scattered at the graves mouth. (Psalms 141: 3-7)

“Divine Reversal,” Allow me to speak only that that will bring life or add life! Hallelujah!!!!

Vs 6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

Meaning when the judges go to the grave, they will only hear the words of the Kingdom message which is Life!!!

The enemy has walked up and down the cell structure of God’s people long enough.

Romans 8: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  Vs19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Our words are power and the very words we speak are in the Highest Realm of Spiritual Elevation.

Philippians 3:1: Finally my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.  To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

How many know that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God!!! (Romans 10:17)

And when you start hearing what your mouth says, then your body and spirit will line up with it.

Matthew 5:37: But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

As Pastor Harlo said, “You must first have the knowledge of the Father and when we know His secrets, it empowers us with victory”!!! Hallelujah!!!

We’re here for a purpose and reason and that is to finish what Jesus started!!!

So, it’s time now for the Sons of God to take their rightful place in the earth. It’s time now to take on “Divine Reversal!!!”

With this “Divine Reversal,” we must now start speaking with authority and power! God spoke His Word into Adam’s face by His Spirit.  So, we must start speaking from “The Spirit!”

Oh Come on and Give God The Praise!!!!

Hallelujah!!!
