Another Spirit-A Different Spirit.

Another Spirit-A Different Spirit.

Isaiah 53:1AMP

The question asked throughout scripture is, “Whose report will you believe?”

Our whole basis for Christianity is the faith factor. The just shall live by faith.

Romans 12:3b...God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Isaiah 53:1 Who has believed [confidently trusted in, relied on, and adhered to] our message [of salvation]? And to whom [if not us] has the arm and infinite power of the Lord been revealed?

And then we can read the verses below, of the suffering Messiah, and His willingness to do all this for me and you.

The question asked is, “Whose report do you believe?” And now I give you another question that answers the first question. -Where Is Your Dwelling place?

Are you camped out/stationed with the Most High? Are you in this for the long-term-effects?.

I am a soldier in the army of my God. The Lord Jesus Christ is my commanding officer. The Holy Bible is my code of conduct, Faith, prayer and the Word are my weapons of warfare. I have been taught by the Holy Spirit--trained by experience, tried by adversity and tested by fire. I am a volunteer in this army, and I am enlisted for eternity. I will either retire in this army at the rapture or die in this army; but I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out. I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable. If my God needs me, I am there. If He needs me in the Sunday school to teach the children, work with the youth, help adults or just sit and learn I’ll be there. He can use me because I am there!

I am a soldier. I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked up, or pepped up.

I am a soldier. No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me.

I am a soldier. I am not a wimp. I am in place saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name, and building His kingdom! No one has to send me flowers gifts, food, cards, candy or give me handouts. I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to. I am committed. I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around. I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside. I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit. If I end up with nothing, I will still come out ahead. I will win. My God has, and will continue, to supply all of my needs. I am more than a conqueror. I will always triumph. I can do all things through Christ. Devils cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me. Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me. Governments cannot silence me and hell cannot handle me. I am a soldier. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my Commander calls me from this battlefield He will promote me to Captain and then allow me to rule with Him.

I am a soldier in the army and I’m marching, claiming victory. I will not give up. I will not turn around.

I am a soldier marching, heaven bound.

Again, I ask, “Where is your dwelling place?”Psalm 91:1-2AMP He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand]. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!”

The influence that comes with dwelling in His presence is all but amazing!

Again, “Whose report do you believe?”

The apostle Paul speaks more about this believing report in, Romans 10:16-17NKJV But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Change can be met with one of two ways:

Fear.

Fear Is A Liar, by by Zach Williams:

Fear he is a liar, He will take your breath, Stop you in your steps, Fear he is a liar, He will rob your rest, Steal your happiness, Cast your fear in the fire, Cause fear he is a liar. Fear Is A Liar.

You probably heard this acronym for fear.

False

Evidence

Appearing

Real.

But what about this one:

Failure

Expected

And

Received

Fear makes us resist change, and keeps things the way they are. Changes are unpredictable, so we tend to stay with what we know.

Fear and unbelief always run parallel. They’re married to each other.
