1 John 4:4
But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.[NLT]
David did not understand why his uncle was such an angry man; his father had the same problem. David’s uncle once sent the entire household out of the house at night just because they wouldn't be quite enough to let him hear the evening news on television. David feared he himself might have the same problem because even his grandfather was rumored to have angrily beaten his wife to her death. He had read in in the Bible that anger lies in the bosom of fools so he had decided he didn't want to be foolish in life, he wanted a break from this family iniquity.
David decided to pray about this problem because it has begun to really bother him. One evening while switching channels to find something interesting on television, he heard a preacher saying these words ‘You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world’. It was like he had never heard this Bible verse before; he now knew and believed that He was from God and this made Him an overcomer over every family or ancestral limitation- He had received his deliverance.
The surest way to receive lasting deliverance is by the truth of God’s word; when a word becomes true and real to you. Jesus says “you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”(see Joh 8:32).
As you go into today, go for the word. Whatever situation you are facing, remember that the answer is in God’s word.
Prayer:
· Thank the Lord for this day and this new week
· Ask the Lord to fill you with His presence today and cause His words to become real to you.
