Keys To Victory (Part 7)

Keys To Victory (Part 7) 

Faith is not only a fact, but it is also an act.   Take the deliberate action of taking your needs before the Lord, then proceed to unlock what God has for you. with keys to the kingdom that He has given you.

Key One-Replace fear with faith.

Key Two-Rise up to confront the enemy and seize your destiny.

Key Three-Refocus your attention.  

Key Four-Reject reason for revelation.

 
Key Five-Respond in obedience.

Key Six-Reverse the curse.

These keys are applicable to every problem of life, whether it be physical, material, or spiritual.   Apply these strategies each time you confront a crisis or face a potential defeat. They cannot fail because they are based upon God's Word.  

(1) As you face difficult circumstances, don't deny them.  

-Jehoshaphat did not deny the devastating potential of his problem.  Some people claim that acknowledging  a problem is a negative confession that aborts faith.  

-When Christ’s disciples thought Lazarus was sleeping, however, Jesus pointedly corrected them.  “Lazarus is dead,” He declared.  Talk about a negative confession!  But in the next breath Jesus said, “But I go to raise Him!” 

If you do not acknowledge a problem, how can you deal with it?  When deliverance comes, how can God receive glory if you refuse to admit there was a problem in the first place? So acknowledge your problem.

(2) At the same time proclaim your confidence in God’s promises to deliver.  

You must take action in order to be victorious because information brings revelation, but  revelation must result in application in order to bring transformation.  Every force that threatens your destiny can be turned into victory through proper application of the principles of God's Word
