Eagles are brilliant in battle and know how to use their God-given weapons.

Dr. Jim Strickhausen: "To be refreshed, reach out and refresh another! Prosper another and you'll prosper yourself!" Proverbs 11:25 NLT - The generous prosper and are satisfied; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

SPEAK IT GONE! Mark 11:23-24 KJV - For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

REMOVE the problem. RECEIVE the answer. REJOICE like its done.

Speak its removal! Pray the solution! Celebrate the answer, for it's on the way!

SPEAK IT GONE! In Jesus name!

PRAY IT INTO EXISTENCE! In Jesus name!

Talk yourself into prosperity!

Talk yourself into divine health!

Talk yourself into peace that passes understanding!

Talk yourself into joy unspeakable and full of glory!

I possess what I confess!

At all times I am either talking myself into a blessing or into a curse.

Whatever I'm speaking, I'll soon be experiencing.

Every believer is presently SEATED in Heaven even though they may now be living on earth. This placement in Heaven is POSITIONAL, not GEOGRAPHICAL; but no less PRESENT REALITY! Ephesians 2:6 - And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Note the present and past tenses. We are ALREADY raised and ALREADY seated with Him. This has ALREADY occurred. We are not waiting until the sweet by-and-by to take our seats in this lofty position. This highest place of privilege is ours right now in Christ!)

My Calling is SET in "eternal concrete."

1 Corinthians 12:28 KJV And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Whom God sets is SET!

Whom God places is PLACED!

Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men... 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.

What God decides is DECIDED!

Besides the Father's Throne and Jesus' Throne at His right hand, there are also many other seats or thrones in Heaven. These thrones represent various callings, giftings, offices, and places in the body of Christ that God has assigned to certain people.

Re 11:16 - And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their

seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God

Man cannot UNSET what God has SET!

Man cannot DETHRONE whom God has ENTHRONED!

If God has called you to a certain ministry in the body of Christ, you are presently seated on that heavenly throne where no person or power on earth can reach you or dislodge you from your lofty position. Earth cannot change what is seated in Heaven, but a person who is seated in a Heavenly Place CAN change the earth!

Our FRUITFULNESS may be seasonal, but our FAITHFULNESS must be constant!

If we will stay FAITHFUL over the long haul, sooner or later we will become FRUITFUL!

FAITHFULNESS is the developed character trait that will tip the scales in our favor... every time!

Get rough with the devil. You can't out-think him. But you CAN OUT-TALK him. Throw The Book at him when he is pressuring you by quoting the Word of God aloud to his ugly face. "It is written!" Tell him to scram it, clam it, and cram it! You must rise up and put The Word on him... ALOUD! Skin him alive with the Word of God from your mouth and then tan his hide with the high praises of God singing from your lips. Finally, nail him to the wall by laughing and rejoicing in the presence of God and acting like the Victor instead of the Victim.

Be on guard against the tactics of "The Accuser Of The Brethren." He will work his accusing thought suggestions from five different angles. 1. He will try to accuse you to God (which never works because of the Blood). 2. He will try to accuse God to you, making you think that God is against you for some reason. 3. He will accuse you to yourself (this often works). 4. He will try to stir up controversy by accusing you to others. 5. And he will try to accuse others to you.

There are three levels of spiritual warfare that will come against you from time to

time. The lowest form of warfare is TEMPTATION. The next step up is ACCUSATION. And the most subtle and deadly is Deception. If he can't get you to succumb to common temptations, then he'll try stirring up accusations against you (or get you maligning others yourself), hoping you'll take the bait, become discouraged, and quit. The highest form of warfare is DECEPTION. If accusations won't work, he'll try to subtly mix untruths into your life alongside the truths, so as to neutralize your effectiveness over a long period of time.

Compassion is Come-Passion: A Passion to Come to another's aid.

According to the New Testament, Ministerial Struggle and Spiritual Warfare happens for Five Reasons: 1. "for the Word's sake." (Satan is trying to steal the most recent things you have learned from God's Word.) 2. Because of "speaking in the name of the Lord." (The enemy is trying to get you to shut your mouth from sharing Jesus with others.) 3. Because of the "abundance of revelations." (The devil knows if you gain an abundance of truths from experiences with God, you will be very dangerous to him.) 4. Because of "the appointment." (Satan tries to fight your divine assignment.) 5. And because of "the anointing." (The anointing flowing through your life invigorates some but infuriates others.)

Choose to view your present struggle as a mere "Showdown before Showtime."

See your present battle as a temporary "Desert before Dessert."

When in a battle, count it all joy just to get to know Him better as... Deliverer... Healer... Provider... The God Of Another Chance... whatever His name, nature, and attributes are that counteract your present dilemma.

DAN'S NOTES ON FATIGUE BELOW:

I. FATIGUE MIGHT JUST BE YOUR NUMBER ONE ENEMY!

II. Daniel 7:25 - And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High. If the devil's strategy of trying to STOP you fails, then he will try to JOIN you and cause you to WEAR YOURSELF OUT!

III. Vince Lombardi said, "Fatigue makes Cowards Of Us All!"

IV. Mike Murdock says, "When Fatigue Walks In, Faith Walks Out!"

V. DEALING WITH FATIGUE

1. Get your SEASONAL REST - Mark 6:31-32 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. Vacations, Romantic Weekends Away, Picnics, Play Time, Recreation, Hobbies, Etc.

2. Get your DAILY REST - Psalm 127:1-2 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Your body needs plenty of sleep or else your immune system will break down.

Proverbs 3:24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

3. Get your SPIRITUAL REST from regular Bible Reading, Prayer, and Church Attendance- Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

4. Get your REGULAR PHYSICAL EXERCISE - 1 Tim 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

5. Don't Talk Much (or at all) when you're fatigued.

a. Everything looks negative through tired eyes.

b. We tend to get down on ourselves when we are tired.

c. When we are fatigued, we tend to speak words to others which we later regret.

6. Make No Major Decisions when you are fatigued. THE ONLY DECISION WE SHOULD MAKE WHEN WE ARE TIRED IS "NOT TO MAKE A DECISION RIGHT NOW." One U.S. President refused to make any decisions or sign any documents after 3:00 PM each day because he knew he could not think clearly after that hour.
