Satan will try to divide the Church and get us to turn inwardly on each other. He will try to stop the anointing that has already begun. He knows how the Holy Ghost will not manifest His anointing within a strife-filled situation.

Satan knows his time is short, so he is working overtime to stop the Church. All kinds of things are being thrown in our path to try to hurt us and get us out of the way. But because we have seen Jesus, we are able to escape the corruption in the world and all its destruction. We can appropriate the promises of God so that we will neither stumble nor fall.

God, through the Holy Ghost in your life, will cause you to avoid the various obstacles Satan has set before you. You will see them not in the natural but with your spiritual eye. Then you will know inside yourself whether to move to the right or to the left, to go over or under. Jesus will be living big inside you!

People will say, "You can't go into that place; things there are too tough to deal with."

But the Lord will say, "You have the Greater One inside you, and greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." Do you believe that? If for some reason you don't, I want to point out another verse of Scripture which says: "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment" (1 John 4:17).

This day of judgment is not when you stand before God. The day of judgment is when you face the temptations, tests, trials that Satan throws against you in this world.

You can have boldness in that day of judgment. Why? The verse continues: "...because as he is, so are we in this world."
