Push Past the Borders of Darkness

When we allow fear, insecurity, and doubt to have access to our hearts, minds and spirits, they will always hinder the flow and the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. If we are going to reach our hurting and lost world with the precious gospel of Jesus Christ, we must stand firm and refuse the entry attempts of the spirits of this world into our own lives. We must verbally declare, fear is not welcome here! We need to hang some spiritual signs that say, insecurity will be denied entry! We need to post a spiritual guard over our hearts and minds that will firmly resist the access attempts of the spirit of doubt! I've heard it said, "hurting people hurts people!"

Hurting, wounded, broken, deceived, angry, bitter, doubting, desperate, sinful are just a few adjectives that describe the condition of the souls we encounter on the streets, in the stores, on our jobs, in our schools and etc, on a daily basis. We must be a spiritually healthy, apostolic church, if we are going to help instead of hurt people! Jesus said that the premeditated plan of the enemy is to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus predestined a solution for the evil intentions of the enemy; ABUNDANT LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord! (John 10:10)

A spiritually healthy, apostolic church, that is living the abundant life in Christ, is the only solution to the ever abounding crises in our world! Some of the ingredients of a spiritually healthy apostolic church are prayer, praise, fasting, worship, Holy Ghost filled, baptized in Jesus name, truth preaching, gifts and fruit of the Spirit, an active five fold ministry, bold, secure and holiness living! (1 Thessalonians 5:17, John 15:7, Psalm 150, Isaiah 58:6, Psalm 95:6, John 4:23, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 2:38, Romans 6, John 8:32, John 17:17, 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, Ephesians 4:11, Acts 28:31, Proverbs 3:26 & Hebrews 12:14) A spiritually healthy, apostolic church, is able to push past the borders of darkness that have imprisoned the depressed, discouraged, wounded and broken people in our world and are holding the sinner hostage!

It’s time for a spiritually healthy church to go into the highways and hedges, allowing the light of truth that is in us to push past the borders of darkness that are holding the world bound in sin. (Matthew 22:9) No more dark borders of fear, insecurity and doubt in God’s apostolic church! Push Past the Borders of Darkness. We have the answer! WE, THE JESUS NAME CHURCH, ARE THE ANSWER!! 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” Sister Stacey Robinette
