Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you

Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew {their} strength; they shall mount up with
wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; {and} they shall walk, and not faint.

May God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1the favor
of the Lord our God rest upon us Psalms 90:17

When you fast-expect resistance.

The enemy is defeated when people come in agreement

Psalms 51: Open my lips and I’ll praise you

Jonah chapter 1: 1-3; A dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit-Jonah means dove
A Transformed Soul – spirit-soul-and body
Born again of the spirit but our soul must be transformed—
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Receive thee the engrafted Word of the Lord
(James)
Wouldn’t it be great when you’re saved that your soul immediately is transformed. There is a
great struggle. Flesh wants to argue, the spirit wants to worship.
In order to keep this new creature alive, you must be obedient. If you continue in my word,
then you are my disciples indeed-you shall know the truth.
It’s a process-the truth will make you free. It is a process in our life. The truth comes to us,
we must know the truth. When you know the truth, you step into a spiritual freedom. But
there is a fight, look at Jonah. I don’t need to live in bondage of inferiority, I don’t need to live
in bondage to intimidation, the truth will make you free. Adult problems are unresolved
childhood conflicts. We get so bound up we can’t do anything. But God doesn’t leave us in a
bunch of chains—He will take you on a journey of being set free.
No matter what happened in my past, no matter what names were called, no matter how
many ugly words were put in my head—But satan doesn’t know about the grace of God. We
have a new walk and a new talk. As soon as the word comes to us, it will untangle the mess;
it will open up the prison we are locked in. I will not end my life in the prison of hell. I will walk
from victory to victory, freedom to freedom, glory to glory. Free indeed—Free indeed
The old flesh doesn’t want you praising Jesus
You want to hold on to your habits, your pills, your bondage; the devil will take you to jappa,
the road to taursus. Just rest over here—the enemy tries to form a false happiness.
The bible said he went DOWN to Jappa—down to a beautiful place—down into a ship—
fell down into a deep sleep—is this as far as I’m going? Is this it? Oh God—wake up
those who are asleep. Help us not to reject your truth.
Shake off that intimidation—get rid of that in your life—
Love verse 2-He began to worship and praise God—Self destruction spewed him back
onto the shores of opportunity.
The Word of the Lord came the second time—God doesn’t change his mind. Let’s try it
again, let’s do it another time. I need some special prayer tonight-let the revelation of this
Word come a live in me. Let the revelation of your Word come a live in me. Your Word
will make me free-help me Lord.
