BVOV Magazine 2013 - present

Once you have that settled and you tune in to what The LORD is saying to you, you can activate the Kingdom process just like Jesus did. You can hear from Him the words He hears from the Father, and you can speak those words by faith. Then the Father will do the works, and what Jesus said to the disciples in John 14:12-13 will come to pass in your life: “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Beware of the Devil’s Flip Chart I do want to warn you, however, the devil comes immediately to steal The WORD. Although he can’t actually stop the Kingdom process from working (it’s a heavenly operation so it can’t be changed; like God, it’s the same yesterday, today and forever), what he will do is try to turn the process to his advantage. He’ll attempt to steal the words God has spoken to you and replace them with his stuff. Then instead of God doing His works in your life, the devil can do his. In Mark 4:14-15, Jesus explained exactly how this happens. He said: “The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.” Most likely you’ve had plenty of experience with this kind of thievery, so you know the drill. You start spending time in The WORD and hearing what God is saying to you about who you are in Christ Jesus. You’re believing and speaking His WORD and seeing Him move in your life. Then the devil pipes up. He starts talking to you about some offensive remark someone made about you. “Can you believe they said that?” he whispers. Before you know it, you’re thinking and saying what they said about you instead of what God’s saying. The same thing can happen in the area of healing. You might hear the voice of The LORD speaking to you from 1 Peter 2:24, “By Jesus’ stripes ye were healed.” You might be faithfully putting that WORD in front of your eyes, in your ears and in your mouth, believing that it is health to all your flesh (Proverbs 4:22). You’re doing fine for a while, but then you experience some symptoms of sickness, and the devil shows up with his flip chart of alternatives to The WORD. The first one he presents is a picture of a heart attack. “Would you believe this?” he says. “No!” you answer. “I’m not having a heart attack. I am healed!” So he flips to another picture. “What about lung cancer?” he says. “Would you believe that?” “No!” “Well, what about the disease your Auntie May had? You do have some of the same symptoms.” That gets you to thinking. Aunt May died of that disease! Maybe I should be worried about this. But then you catch yourself and say, “No, devil. That’s ridiculous. I am healed!” Eventually, however, the devil comes up with an alternative you’re willing to consider: the flu. *******ADVERTISEMENT******* Two days that will impact your life Meet other believers, hear the uncompromised Word and receive personal ministry.
