This episode contined the thought of what is happening in my life?  Circumstances can imprison us and possess  our souls.  Sometimes we take scripture out of context and don’t do the process.  Patience is not sitting back and just taking it!   Luke 21:19 ….with patience possess your souls. ITim. 6:12 says “Fight the good fight of faith.”  We take scripture and push back on an attack from the enemy.  However, there is also a rest in the covenant. Eph. 6:13,14, having done all stand.  We are not waiting to be rescued…we have some occupying to do in the authority we have been given as kings and priests, some work to do!  It is not God’s work….it is ours!  Jesus said, “It is finished” on the cross.  When He was raised from the dead in the very presence of hell and its inhabitants…we were raised with Him to be His spiritual body on this earth!  Where has He raised me?  Eph. 2:4-10; Eph. 1:21-24, Where did He seat me?  I am potentially seated above all the stuff, if I keep myself in Christ!   The storm is inevitable, prepare yourself for the storm. (1 Cor. 10:13).

A lot of talk about our 2nd amendment right.  God has given us the equivalent in the realm of the Spirit.  When you see the strongman coming in to spoil your goods (Mt. 12)….do something with your authority! Rom. 8:11 is the way of escape.  That same glory that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me! That same glory can raise me above my circumstance! Heb. 4:3, 9-11, there remains a rest for the people of God to cease from their own works.  Sometimes our labors are wrong.  We are supposed to labor to enter into rest.  We are laboring so much we cannot rest in God’s promises and provision.  But if we labor to rest (in patience) we won’t fall into unbelief!
