Light for Your Day

I woke up the other morning and one of my very first thoughts was that I should again read Kenneth Hagin’s book, “What to Do When FAITH Seems Weak & VICTORY Lost.”  I am doing that now.  For a devotional this week, let me share with you ten principles he gives in this easy-to-read, but powerful book.  He says in his preface that these ten steps “when taken in sequence, will bring you out of defeat and into certain victory!”  Sounds like something we should pay attention to, doesn’t it?  It would serve you well to order a copy of this book (Rhema.org or Amazon.com) and read it all the way through.  Here are the steps:

1.         Recognize the source of the opposition as being Satan—and stand your

             ground.

2.         Be sure the promises of God—the Scriptures—cover the things you ask for

             and are believing for.

3.         Be sure you are not living in sin—practicing wrongdoing.

4.         Be sure no doubt or unbelief is permitted in your life concerning the

             promises of God.

5.         Sincerely desire the benefit you have asked of God.

6.         Ask God in faith, nothing wavering, believing that what is asked is yours.

7.         Do not tolerate for one single moment a thought to the contrary but 

            it is yours.

8.         Count the thing done that you have asked.

9.         Give glory to God even before it comes into manifestation.

10.       Act as though you have received what you asked.

Blessings,
