Title: Obtain promises through faith.

“And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and 

Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets:

 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises,

 stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, 

out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 

Women received their dead raised to life again.

Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.

 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. 

They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented— 

of whom the world was not worthy.

They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.”??Hebrews? ?11:32-38? ?NKJV.

?? The book of Hebrews catalogues witnesses who through faith accomplished great things for God. 

Point of Reflection:

Let's look at some of the things these heroes of faith accomplished- 

subdued kingdoms of the enemy, worked righteousness, obtained promises, 

out of weakness were made strong, received back their dead to life,

 quenched the violence of fire, stopped the mouths of lions, of whom the world was not worthy.

You may ask: How did they do it?

There are five main things you need to do:

1. Understand what Jesus Christ accomplished for you on the cross and acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of your life.

2. Consecrate and set yourself apart for God-this is a declaration you need to make to Almighty God-

 I am yours Lord, with all that I am, with all that I am not, I give myself to you.

3. Reject, denounce and renounce the enemy satan, his demons

 and every form of demonic influence or satanism you may have been involved with knowingly or unknowingly. 

Some activity you may have been involved with may with or without you knowing have had satanic covenants.

 You need to denounce and renounce these. 

4. Desire passionately, seek and ask the Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill you with the Holy Spirit.

 If we evil as we are give good gifts to our children,

how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him with passionate desire and faith? (Luke 11:9-13).

5. Commit your everyday to the Holy Spirit- Every morning invite the Holy Spirit into your day- 

Holy Spirit lets go, help me today to accomplish the will and purpose of God.

 Repeat steps 2 (consecration), 3 (rejecting, renouncing and denouncingsatan and his demons) and 5. ( Holy Spirit lets go) every morning.

Do you desire to follow the foot steps of the heroes of faith?

When you are ready-

Prayer of faith:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my sin.

 Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.

 I set myself apart and consecrate myself to you Lord Jesus Christ.

I reject, renounce and denounce the enemy satan and his demons in the name of Jesus Christ.

 I denounce every satanic covenant I may have been involved in, with or without my express knowledge and understanding.

 I claim the covering of the blood of Jesus Christ upon my life right now in the name of Jesus Christ. 

I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.

 I receive the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. 

I remember my family and ask you to empower them by your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.

I remember Planet Ministries and ask you to empower them and lead them by your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.

I remember each and every child of God across planet earth and I ask you to deliver

 them from every demonic and satanic covenant and

 to fill them by your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.

In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.

Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
