This sermon compares Joseph's total control during Egypt's famine to divine salvation, emphasizing that his authority was divinely sanctioned, not tyranny, and highlighting the contrast with Christ's sacrificial redemptive work. Both involve surrender, but Christ's sacrifice is the ultimate gift of grace. The sermon urges believers to embrace suffering and surrender to Christ for true spiritual growth, recognizing God's sovereignty in both prosperity and hardship. It emphasizes the need for faithful loyalty to Jesus, who alone deserves ultimate allegiance, warning against equating human systems with divine purposes.

Preached at the Midway Inn Hotel during the Breakfast Fellowship Meeting, 23rd August 2025

The number of trips made by overseas visitors to the Xizang autonomous region nearly doubled last year as the region aims to become a world-class tourist destination, a senior official of the region said on Tuesday.西藏自治区一位高级官员周二表示，去年，随着该地区成为世界级旅游目的地，海外游客前往西藏自治区的次数几乎翻了一番。In 2024, Xizang received more than 63.89 million visits by tourists from home and abroad, an increase of 15.8 percent year-on-year, with the number of trips made by visitors from overseas rising nearly twofold, said Gama Cedain, chairman of the region, during a news conference held by the State Council Information Office on Xizang's economic and social development achievements over the past six decades.国务院新闻办公室在关于西藏60年来经济社会发展成就的新闻发布会上表示，2024年，西藏接待了6389多万国内外游客，同比增长15.8%，海外游客数量增长了近两倍。"During the process of becoming a world-class tourist destination, we have integrated the cultural tourism industry with economic and social development, and are developing the industry with high standards," Gama Cedain said of Xizang, which is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and has a long history, splendid culture and unique natural scenery. "We warmly welcome friends from home and abroad to come to Xizang to personally experience the beautiful scenery, immerse themselves in Tibetan culture, and witness the development of the region."“在成为世界级旅游目的地的过程中，我们将文化旅游业与经济社会发展相结合，并以高标准发展产业，”Gama Cedain谈到西藏时说，西藏位于青藏高原，历史悠久，文化灿烂，自然风光独特。“我们热忱欢迎国内外朋友来西藏亲身体验美丽的风景，沉浸在西藏文化中，见证西藏的发展。”Wang Junzheng, Party secretary of Xizang, said at the news conference that the region's GDP reached 276.5 billion yuan in 2024 — 155 times that of 1965, when the region was established — with an average annual growth rate of 8.9 percent.西藏党委书记王君正在新闻发布会上表示，2024年西藏地区生产总值达到2765亿元人民币（384.7亿美元），是1965年西藏成立时的155倍，年均增长率为8.9%。Wang noted that while it took the region 50 years to achieve its first 100 billion yuan in GDP, the second 100 billion yuan milestone was reached after just six more years, and GDP is expected to surpass 300 billion yuan this year.王指出，虽然该地区花了50年时间才实现了第一个1000亿元的国内生产总值，但仅用了6年时间就实现了第二个1000亿的里程碑，预计今年国内生产总值将超过3000亿元。Modern industries including clean energy and cultural tourism are thriving, laying the foundation for a modern industrial system, Wang said, noting that the region continues to enhance its self-sustaining development capacity, with key economic indicators ranking among the highest in terms of growth rates in the country for several consecutive years.王说，包括清洁能源和文化旅游在内的现代产业蓬勃发展，为现代工业体系奠定了基础。他指出，该地区的自我维持发展能力不断增强，关键经济指标连续几年位居全国增长率最高的地区之列。Infrastructure development has also seen remarkable progress, making the "roof of the world" no longer isolated, he added.他补充说，基础设施建设也取得了显著进展，使“世界屋脊”不再孤立。According to Wang, by the end of 2024, Xizang had over 124,900 kilometers of roads and 1,359 km of railway, along with 183 domestic and international air routes. The region has also made strides in energy and digital connectivity, with comprehensive power grids and 4G networks reaching even the most remote villages.据王介绍，截至2024年底，西藏有公路12.49万公里，铁路1359公里，国内外航线183条。该地区在能源和数字连接方面也取得了长足的进步，全面的电网和4G网络甚至覆盖了最偏远的村庄。Wang said that ecological conservation remains a key priority for the Xizang government, with over 50 percent of the region's land under ecological protection. The region has adopted an integrated approach to protecting mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands and wetlands, he added.王说，生态保护仍然是西藏政府的首要任务，西藏50%以上的土地受到生态保护。他补充说，该地区采取了综合方法来保护山脉、河流、森林、草原和湿地。splendid culturen.灿烂文化/ˈsplɛndɪd ˈkʌltʃə/digital connectivityn.数字连接/ˈdɪdʒɪtl ˌkəˌnɛktɪˈvɪti/

"Prosperity" is a biblical word, it is not a "bad" word. What is biblical prosperity? Biblical prosperity is defined as having an abundance of resources to fully accomplish God's will for one's life, and to serve others.According to the scripture, biblical prosperity is a multifaceted covenant that is rooted in God's provision and purpose that not only includes material wealth, but also includes spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational strength.Prosperity isn't a vending machine — it's the fruit of relationship, obedience, and timing. If you've been giving and not prospering, ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart, align your life, and trust that God is faithful to reward those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).Christians who do not manage their money well may struggle to prosper because Scripture teaches that stewardship and diligence are essential to experiencing God's blessing.In today's study we will learn…What is biblical prosperity?Why do the wicked prosper while godly people do not?Does the Bible promise material prosperity to all believers?How can I get from "barely getting by" to "having an abundance"?…and the top 10 reasons why Christians do not prosper!------------------Key Scriptures for today's teaching: Luke 16:1-13Other Scriptures in this study: 2 Chronicles 26:5; Proverbs 21:5; Colossians 3:23-25; Proverbs 19:15; Proverbs 15:22; Proverbs 22:7; Proverbs 6:6-8; Proverbs 13:11; Proverbs 21:20; John 6:12; Psalm 84:11; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8; Psalm 112: 1-4 NLT; Matthew 6:33; 3 John 1:2; Psalm 1:1-3; Galatians 6:9Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be from the NLT, the New Living TranslationFor further teachings on angels and demons, see the playlist:If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!

What does it mean to learn something? While many living things have the capacity for learning, humans have taken this ability to unmatched levels. Our ability to learn and apply knowledge sets us apart from most other species, and now we're passing that ability on to AI. Leslie Valiant is a professor of computer science and applied mathematics at Harvard University. His latest book, The Importance of Being Educable: A New Theory of Human Uniqueness, explores our ability to take in new information and raises questions about the broader implications of educability and artificial intelligence. Leslie and Greg discuss the uniqueness of human educability, how that ability differs from artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the future challenges of integrating machine intelligence in human society.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What do people miss when they think about intelligence?02:05: Well, I think the difficulty is that we don't really know what the word "intelligence" is, and we've been using it for more than a century, and we're using it without having any note of what it means. I don't think it's been very useful, for example, in the study of artificial intelligence. So I think the context of IQ tests, I think, arose in the early 1900s in connection with potential definitions of intelligence in terms of people finding correlations between abilities of children to do various subjects at school. And they hypothesized that the children who are good at many subjects had something, and they hypothesized that what they had, this "something," was this intelligence. But that's not a definition of what intelligence is. So they didn't provide specification of how you recognize someone who's intelligent. It's a purely statistical notion.What is the best way to understand humans?03:00: To understand what one is doing, one has to have a definition of what one's trying to achieve. And in some sense, the successes of AI have been along those lines. So, machine learning was something which was defined in terms of what you wanted to achieve. So you had examples of things and you wanted to achieve a prediction of newer examples with high confidence, and people managed to implement this, and this became the kind of backburner of AI. So I think, in understanding humans, I think this is the way forward. We should understand what kind of things we're good at, what we do, what our functions are. And saying someone is intelligent is almost like name-calling.How can we promote educability without also promoting vulnerability?39:06: We already have these incredible capabilities for absorbing information, processing it, applying it, running with it. And this capability somehow exceeds our ability to evaluate information. So someone gives us some story about what happened on the other side of the world yesterday. We can't rush over to check it out. We either believe it or we don't believe it. So we find it very hard to evaluate, to evaluate everything we hear.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Alan Turing Guest Profile:Faculty Profile at Harvard UniversityProfessional WebsiteHis Work:The Importance of Being Educable: A New Theory of Human UniquenessCircuits of the MindProbably Approximately Correct: Nature's Algorithms for Learning and Prospering in a Complex World

Welcome  Lovely Listeners, to this episode which is offering some powerful astrological insights, as well as how to use ritual to set New Moon in Taurus intentions. I am delighted to be in conversation with Kathy Harmon-Luber who is a renown sound-musician healer, reiki practitioner, author and painter.  In this episode, we talk about using a really interesting and powerful ritual for planting new ideas and desires.  During this New Moon  lunar cycle there is a particularly energetic connection.  The planetary line-up with other planets, places emphasis on using the Moon to create powerful self-belief and inner awareness by creating meaningful intentions.  This Moon phase, being in the earth sign of Taurus highlights the need for self-care, and inner reflection on your most important and cherished wants, needs, desires and intentions.  The reason this is so critical has to do with the vibrational nature of this Moon and how it is aspected to other planets.  Take a look at your astrology chart and find the sign of Taurus and it's house placement.  This is where you may need to stop, pause, reassess, balance and ground.  Taurus is a fixed earth sign.  This means  there is the impetus to bring things into focus and form for the long term. This sign is allied with the 2nd house. This is the space of personal resources, skills talents, abilities, gifts, as well as how material and financial resources come into your life.  The planetary guide (rulership) is with Venus.  This planet asked you to assess how and what do you value about yourself, (self-resources).This New Moon, with all the planetary connections to other planets  who are sitting with  challenging, yet dynamic messages, places this Taurus Moon in important position.  What you plant during this season, could have a profound effect for quite a long time.  This New Moon is in communication with Mars in Leo, Pluto in Aquarius, and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio.  These are all fixed signs and they are part of your astrology story.  Set your intentions, reflect quietly and be joyful for the opportunities ahead.Checkout Kathy Here:      https://sufferingtothriving.com/    https://www.dancingbetweenworlds.art/ (P.S.  tech issue 15 min mark) Let's have an Astrology Conversation.

When you hear the word 'prosperity' it conjures up all sorts of images doesn’t it. It’s a word that God uses quite a lot too. The question is - what does He mean by it and how do we lay hold of it?

Have you ever been standing on the threshold of something good – perhaps one of God's promises – and all of a sudden it's as though everything starts to go wrong?   On the Threshold Have you ever stood on the threshold of something good, I mean something really good, something fantastic? Maybe it's the promise of a promotion, or the promise of a pay increase, or you've just fallen pregnant or your wife has and in the not too many months, there's going to be this new life in your family, or a great holiday, or a new home, or peace where there was conflict and you stand there and you think, "This is going to be faaaannntastic. I just can't wait". And then all of a sudden, it's like all hell breaks loose. Everything and everyone kind of comes after you with a pickaxe; at work and at home, in your heart and in your head, there's turmoil. And you think, "Hang on a minute. I'm about to step over into this Promised Land and well, it's supposed to be fantastic. What is going on?" We've all been there, right? So has God and today we are going to look at His specific Word that He wants to speak right into that. This week on the programme, we are going to look at this ‘Promised Land' thing. And the Promised Land was born when God promised a land to Abraham, the father of Israel, and centuries later Israel crossed over into that Promised Land. It started with this beautiful promise to Abraham that we looked at last week. If you have a Bible, grab it, open it up at Genesis chapter 13, beginning at verse 14. This is what it says: The Lord said to Abraham, after Lot had separated from him, ‘Lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are, to the north and the south and the east and the west, all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can count the dust of the earth, your offspring will also be able to be counted. Get up, walk the length and the breadth of this land for I will give it to you'. So Abraham moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which is at Hebron and there he built an altar to the Lord. What a stunning promise! What an incredible promise! What an impossible promise! See, Abraham was an old man and he and his wife Sarah hadn't had any children and from that promise began a long and winding road for the nation of Israel. Centuries later they travelled through the exodus, they went through this desert and they'd gone on this long journey. And Israel ultimately is about to cross over into the Promised Land and all of a sudden their leader Moses, whom God used to set them free out of slavery from Egypt; to go through the Red Sea; that amazing miracle, to guide them through the desert for forty years – all of a sudden Moses, their leader dies. And God comes along to his successor, Joshua, with some godly advice – more than advice, admonition. Now we are going to have a look at that today. It's in Joshua chapter 1, beginning at verse 1. This is what God said: After the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua, son of Nun, Moses' assistant, ‘Moses, My servant is dead. Now then you and all these people, get ready to cross over the Jordan River into the land that I am about to give to them, the Israelites. I have given you every place where you will set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to the Lebanon, from the great river, the Euphrates, all the Hittite country to the great sea on the west and no one, no one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will never leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead this people to inherit the land that I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong; very courageous. Be careful to obey all My law that the servant Moses gave you. Don't turn from it to the right or to the left so that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let the Book of this Law depart from your mouth but meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything that's written in it, then you will be prosperous and successful. Haven't I commanded you, Be strong and courageous? Don't be terrified; don't be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.' Just think about it. They have been on this long journey for forty years, the exodus in the desert and they are about to cross over into the Promised Land and Moses dies. Oh, fantastic! What lousy timing. They had this tried and proven leader and he is gone, and so the reins get handed over to Joshua, his assistant and God repeats the promise that He made to Abram and that He made to Moses; He repeats that promise to Joshua: "I have given you this land - I have promised this land to you and no one will be able to stand against you." Oh, that's not good; that's not good at all. If God has to promise you that no one is going to stand against you. All these different tribes and nations that are already in the land; they're not going to invite Israel in to take their land. They are not going to say, "Oh, God said you could have it, well sure, go ahead, take all our land." Not likely! Israel is in for a bunch of battles and then God says: "I will never leave you or forsake you." This is not looking good. God says: "Be strong and courageous," and again, He says: ‘Be strong and very courageous.' And a third time in that passage we just read, He says: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged." Now you are Joshua, you were there forty years ago, on the other side of the Red Sea. You saw the miracle when Moses lifted his staff and the Red Sea parted and Israel passed through and all of a sudden Pharaoh's army tried to chase them and the sea came together again and Pharaoh's army was drowned. You were there. The euphoria of God's amazing miracle. You've spent forty years in the desert and you think, "surely it must be over by now. We are just days away from crossing over into this Promised Land, from realising the promise that God made to Abram centuries before". And now God's setting you up; preparing you for a tough time. He talking about battles and wars and being strong and courageous. This is life and death stuff. Is that what you expected of the Promised Land after all this time? That's why I've called this series of programmes, "It Time to Take the Promised Land" because it doesn't get delivered to your front door like a pizza. God's promise of a land flowing with milk and honey is accompanied by God's reality - battles along the way. You have to take the Promised Land. And it's the same today. You know what I've noticed? The rest of the world doesn't want me to have God's peace and joy. The rest of the world doesn't want me to live in God's promises. The devil wants to spoil God's plan for my life and every time God is about to do something amazing in my life, all hell seems to break loose. The devil just doesn't want me to have the Promised Land. Now Joshua could have sat up on his side of the Jordan River, heard what God was saying about not getting discouraged and about the battles and thought, ‘No, I'm outa here', but he didn't. He believed in God‘s promise and he crossed over and he went about taking the Promised Land. He knew it was time to take the Promised Land.   Courage in the Promises Well, here they are. They are standing on the threshold of the Promised Land after forty years in the desert and all the trials, after the nation being in slavery in Egypt. Centuries before, God had promised to Abraham this Promised Land and they are standing on the Jordan and they are looking over the Jordan and what they see is this so-called Promised Land but there are all these people and tribes and kings and fortified cities and armies. On the one hand, they believe in God's promise, but on the other hand, they're looking at this reality. God calls us into His Promised Land here and now, today. There are promises all through the Bible about our relationship with God. Jesus said in John chapter 10, verse 10: The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy but I have come that you may have life in all its abundance. That's a promise! Jesus wants us to have an abundant life. He said: The Kingdom of God is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again and then in his joy, he went and sold all that he had and he bought that field. Again Jesus said in Matthew chapter 13: The Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant who is looking for fine pearls when he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and he bought it. Do you get the picture? When we give our lives to Jesus, lock stock and barrel, He invites us into a land of promise and He is saying that this land of promise; the Kingdom of God, it's like … it's like a treasure – that's what it is meant to be like. And the promises are so different to what the world promises. Not a physical land or physical wealth or all that other stuff but a Promised Land that is quite different. In Luke chapter 17, verse 20, Jesus put it this way: Once having been ask by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus said, ‘The Kingdom of God doesn't come because of your careful observation nor will people say, ‘Here it is,' or ‘There it is,' because the Kingdom of God is within you.' The Promised Land isn't something out ‘there' – it's not a new house or a new car or all that stuff. The Promised Land; the Kingdom of God is in our hearts. And so often we feel like Joshua standing on the threshold, looking back and then looking forward, wanting to believe in the promises of God but … they are so hard to believe-in some days aren't they? I'm going to talk right now about taking courage in the promises of God. This is so important because we normally focus on the things that we can see – all the problems and the obstacles that are in front of us. But God calls us to set our eyes on the things that are above; to set our eyes on heavenly things. Look again at what God said to Joshua about this Promised Land. Joshua, chapter 1, verse 3: I have given to you every place where you will set your foot as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to the Lebanon, from the great river, the Euphrates, through all the Hittite country to the great sea on the west. No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will never leave you or forsake you. Isn't it interesting, he uses the past tense; actually the Hebrew perfect tense. He says, "Every place where you will set your foot as I promised Moses, I have already given you." It's a done deal! As far as God was concerned, the Promised Land was absolutely a done deal. It was given and when God gives, who can block that? That's God's perspective, even though our perspective is all about the things that we can see – the obstacles and the enemies and the fears and the broken relationships and the people who are bugging us who are never going to change. I tell you, when I became a Christian twelve years ago, I had so much dysfunction in my life, I can't begin to tell you. And through that passage in John chapter 10, verse 10, where Jesus said: I have come that you may have life in all its abundance. I just let Him write that on my heart. Jesus wants you and me to have an abundant life. And if I looked at me and my life and the predicaments I was in, I had no right to believe that promise from Jesus! But the Holy Spirit takes His Word and He writes it on our hearts and He gifted me to lift my eyes to look at heavenly things. I believed so imperfectly, going through some things, I was so afraid some days and so lonely some days. But at the end of the day, what Jesus did on the cross for you and me was to remove all sin, all of the reproach of the past, and open the door to an abundant, outrageous, wonderful relationship with God. It's a done deal! It's past. It's completed. The abundant life has been purchased for you and me. And it's now time to walk in it. And the point of what God said to Joshua was there will be battles: I have given you every place where you will set your foot as I promised Moses. No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will never leave you or forsake you. See, the promise is a done deal. When people come against us, they won't be able to stand against us and rob us of the promises of God. And God will never leave us or forsake us. It's a completely different way of looking at things. Instead of looking at the problems, we look at the promises. It's completely different. And for me in my life, over these last twelve years, in every day, here and now, where I get my courage is in the promises of God, because when God promises something, nobody can take that away. And the focus of that promise; our relationship with Him, the Kingdom of God, the peace and the joy that flows from that, is where it's all at. All that other stuff - that will come and go – relationships and health and money – they're all temporary. What will last forever is our relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Joshua literally means "God saves" and that's the same name that Jesus had, (Joshua was His actual Hebrew name), to lead us into the Promised Land and it is an act of faith to take courage in the promises of God. And we can do that because they're a done deal.   Prospering in God's Word Now, God is expecting some stiff opposition for Joshua and his people when they cross over the Jordan to take the Promised Land. Remember we looked at that passage, Joshua chapter 1, verse 1 and the following verses. And three times – there is Joshua with all that he has been through, standing on the banks of the Jordan ready to cross over into the Promised Land – and three times God says to him; "Be strong and courageous", "Be strong and very courageous", "Be strong and courageous, do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go". I always a worry a little bit when God tell us "not to be terrified", you think, "Uh, oh, this is not going to be pleasant." That's often the way as we decide to lay hold of God's promises in our hearts. Things so often get a whole bunch worse before they get better. Jesus said: Peace, My peace I leave with you - My peace I give to you. Yeah man, that's what I want; that's God's peace; that's God's promise, I want that promise. Jesus promised that to His disciples just before He was about to be crucified at a dangerous and fearful time where there would be pain and loss and fear for their own lives. So He explains what He is on about. He says this: My peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I don't give it to you the way the world does. Don't let your hearts be troubled and don't let them be afraid. (John 14:27) We often have to deal with obstacles and fear to lay hold of the promises of God in our lives, I do, you do, we all do. And it's at those times that we grow, when we understand that that's the reality and that the promises of God stand amidst all the obstacles, all the uncertainty, all the things we look at and think, "I can never get through those on my own." That's the whole purpose of God's promises. So what's our part of this? Well, let's see what God said to Joshua. He said: Be careful to obey the law that My servant Moses gave you. Don't turn from it to the right or the left, that you might be successful wherever you go. Do not let the Book of this Law depart from your mouth, instead meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything that is written in it, then you will be prosperous and successful. See, God was saying to him, "You know where it's at. Let My Word come to life in your heart. Don't forget about it. Don't let it depart from your mouth". In other words, "don't let it leave your mouth permanently; instead meditate on it day and night. Do what it says and then you will be prosperous and successful." Meditate so that it becomes part of you, so that you start living your life My way, says God, then you'll be prosperous; then you'll be successful. You know, I know so many Christians who own a Bible. "Well, it's somewhere, I think. It's up in the cupboard or maybe it's at the bedside table or gathering dust somewhere." I want to tell you something about the Word of God. I would be a nervous wreck by now if I didn't spend time in God‘s Word every day. I'm in the front line of ministry, my job is leading people into the Promised Land through what I am doing right now, through these programmes; helping people to take a hold of God's promises and the devil is not happy about that. The world is not always happy about that, even other Christians sometimes, they don't always understand. And here we are, my wife and I and the team here at Christianityworks, in a ministry that's building and growing. Three years ago I started recording our first radio programmes. I didn't have a single radio station who had committed to airing them. Nothing. Just this call from God in my heart – a promise from Him written on my heart by His Holy Spirit. And today, just three years later, these programmes are being heard on seven hundred stations in eighty countries. There are millions of people listening. Now you might think, "WOW, that's fantastic; that's great," and it is. But do you have any idea how many trials, how many battles, how much opposition, the lack of funds, the uncertainty – any idea how hard that was along the way, and some days continues to be? We all have to go through this stuff in our lives. Whatever story and plan God has written for our lives. Yours is going to be different to mine. But as we step out into the Promised Land, into what God has called us to do, we are going to go through some stuff. And we will have a temptation to do it in our own strength or to give up or to compromise here and there. And the promise of God was, "Josh, get My Word into your heart. Meditate on it day and night; soak it in; let it never, ever depart from you and you will be prosperous and successful in what I've called you to do." In other words, do it God's way and not our own way. See, in His Word God reminds us of His promises and the Holy Spirit comes and writes them into our hearts in a way that we never could. What soldier would walk onto a battlefield without a weapon? The Apostle Paul, when he was talking about the armour of God in Ephesians chapter 6 says: The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. So many Christians walk out onto that spiritual battlefield and they leave God's Word, the sword of the Spirit, in the cupboard and wonder why they suffer defeat after defeat. That's nuts! God's promises are a done deal. People will come against us and they won't be able to stand against us. God said: I will never leave you or forsake you. And when we meditate on God's Word, when we let it become part of us, when we live it out through faith, that's when His success and His prosperity show up.
