The Lord commanded Joshua to invite his followers, the children of Israel, to go with him to hear from the Most High about the land to be possessed, from which seven nations would be displaced. Joshua had no idea how strong each of them was in battle, but it was not necessary to know, because God would go ahead to give them victory.

The Most High also made a commitment with us: to make us successful in our struggles. He commanded the disciples to go into the world and announce the Good News of what He had done for humanity: And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen (Mark 16:20). The Creator used them with power until the final victory!

Even with the 70 He sent to announce in the cities He would visit, the Master watched attentively, even though He was not physically with them. When the disciples returned, saying that in His Name not only were the sick healed, but also demons were cast out, Jesus replied: I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven (Luke 10:18). Nothing is beyond His gaze. Therefore, never be afraid to do the work of the Lord anywhere on Earth.

We must learn many teachings contained in the Scriptures. Certainly, we will understand them if we pay attention to them, for everything we need to know is on the pages of the Bible. The more we feed on the Word, the more information we will receive from the Lord. He knows what we need and will help us understand how to fulfill our calling. Deepen your knowledge of God!

Understanding the Word is very important, as it will prepare you to give your best in the battles that will arise. However, without biblical information, it will be impossible. Each revelation from the Holy Book will become a special tool in your hand and a commandment, so that you may do as you have been shown. No one will be widely used by the Most High if they have not been anointed with the power that Jesus gives to face adversities.

The words of the Triune God are better than ours, because what we speak are means of communication, and what comes from the lips of the Lord is spirit and life: It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63). The declarations of the Most High are part of Him; therefore, when we pronounce them, we must do so with conviction and fearlessness, and evil must obey us. In Christ, we are more than conquerors!

Equip yourself with the best weapons available in the spiritual world: the words of God. Then, you will be able to praise Him for the power they bestow upon you. Never face the enemy if you are not firm in faith in Christ: So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

In Christ, with love,
