Speak to adversity as though it is a person as David spoke to Goliath.
Death, get lost! I am not your hotel. In the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, you are rejected! Get out! Be gone!
Psalm 118:17 KJV
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
Psalm 23:4 KJV
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psalm 107:20 KJV
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Luke 10:19 KJV
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Matthew 10:8 KJV
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Romans 12:2 KJV
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
If you look in the Bible, you will find the power of which I spoke. But many look into it and find no more power than exists in a dictionary. God's plan is that sons represent Him in demonstration of truth and power as His first son did by faith. Most do not, by the scriptures, believe it possible to be Jesus to the world in demonstration of the Spirit and power. Missing this, a Bible study misses the point although awash in it.
As the Word is read and studied, it is usually filtered through human reasoning and experience, which emaciates its purpose and sanitizes it of effect.
Faith is counterintuitive because it chooses to believe the Word even when it contradicts physical evidence. Faith, according to Hebrews 11, is the evidence of things not seen. It requires switching horses from sight-based believing, thinking and acting to faith-based believing, thinking, and acting. I once wondered whether it was fair to be initially soaked in sight-mode and then to require a switch to faith-mode. But all the power walked in by Jesus and His followers occurred by faith. Without faith, the Bible says it is impossible to please God. The Promised Land was not available except by faith. The promises of God listed in the Bible are not accessible except by faith--choosing to believe without proof. Axioms are statements accepted as true without proof. A leap of faith is required. You simply decide to believe, which is anathema to most people. Bible study will not do this for you. People will simply dismiss scriptures that make no sense to them.
John 14:12 NKJV
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
1 John 4:17 KJV
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Romans 15:19 KJV
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
