Nothing worse than being in your boat looking forward to arriving at your destination and you feel water bubbling up around your ankles from a hole in the bottom of the boat! You are not going anywhere until you fix that leak! If you do try to keep going in that condition you risk sinking completely!
Did you ever see Christians who were “trying” to have faith, or “trying” to overcome something, or “trying” to forgive someone of a wrong done? That is a HUGE leak because DOERS of the WORD OF GOD are blessed in their doing; NOT just trying to do the Word! If you are trying to fix something it is not fixed yet! If you are trying to believe you are not believing yet! BELIEVE is an action word! When you believe God you act on His Word and blessing after blessing comes and you receive what God promised!
Jesus and the believers of the New Testament told people to do things that were “impossible” in the natural yet as they believed God they did what they could not do before! At the gate called beautiful a crippled man from birth sat begging alms! When Peter saw him he fastened his eyes on him and said: “I don’t have silver or gold, but such as I have I give to you, In the name of Jesus Christ rise up and walk”! The man believed and so he got up and went walking, leaping, and praising God! HALLELUJAH,! Our God reigns! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE! I Choose to believe and REFUSE to doubt…JESUS NEVER fails! God says there is life and death set before us, then He says CHOOSE LIFE ! It is a choice, a decision! This is why the demons of procrastination and indecision need to be bound, shut up,and cast out! Do NOT put off believing God for another day or someday! Remember faith can stop the storm before it starts…this is where binding every evil spirit every day comes in …bind the enemy first and he won’t be able to bind you! When faith speaks and is acted on you can do what you could not do before!
So at this point we are fixing the unbelief leak, procrastination leak, and the Indecision leak!
I knew a lady who was in a meeting where there was a strong anointing of the Holy Spirit and she went for prayer. The people ministering prayed for the Lord to show why the anointing was going right through her and not staying! I knew why the anointing just leaked out! She had a spirit of hate for men and a ruler spirit of unforgiveness and because she wouldn’t forgive she was bound and tormented! In a fit of rage one time she stabbed the front door of e house she and he lived about 50 times and slashed the screen! Evidently there was murder in her heart for those that hate are murderers in their heart and she was acting out since she God protected the man! She had a demon of jealousy and jealousy is as cruel of the grave! She spent hours falsely accusing him! Needless to say it ruined their marriage and they were divorced because she never got it right with God! These kind of leaks in the boat will sink the boat if they continue!
Repentance is the key to turning the “boat” in the right direction and healing all the leaks! Repentance is turning around completely and going with Jesus in the way of the Word of God! Let go of the desire to see people punished for their wrong doings…forgive them…get forgiveness and cleansing from all the sins of the flesh and spirit! Do NOT run from Jesus because of your problems, but RUN TO HIM!
Jesus said for all who labour and are carrying heavy burdens to COME to HIM and He will give you REST! Take His yoke on you and learn of Him for His yoke (will) is easy, and His burden light! The heavy burdens and torment are from the devil NOT God! So do NOT blame God for the mess, for He did not permit it or have anything to do with it! The thief (devil) only comes to rob, kill, and destroy but Jesus came to give us LIFE and LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY,,,,,,,MORE THAN CAN BE MEASURED! Praise God Jesus is the healer of the broken in heart and He came and died just to heal the pain you feel…take all your burdens to the Lord and leave them there!
Do NOT NEEDLESSLY let your boat sink because of unpatched leaks! Get it fixed now by the Holy Spirit and live the abundant life in Jesus!
I loose every believer now to go free of every hindrance to the abundant life in Jesus name! I bind every spirit of unbelief, anxiety, fear, procrastination, indecision, hate, jealousy and all spirits contrary to the Holy Spirit and go out NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST! There are people right now being healed and delivered of things that have plagued you for a long time! Receive your healing and deliverance NOW! Praise you Jesus for the answer right now!
Now the boat will float with no leaks! Praise God! Next we will raise the three sails on this boat so to get where we need to go!
Fixing these leaks…all in a morning’s work….
Uh oh…l better get working!
Ankle deep water in the boat. Hafta patch het up!
I didn’t take the burdens to the Lord and leave them. Pretty sure that’s why my boat had leaks. Time to patch up
Fixing…patching…gluing…
Oh noooooo! I can’t do all that! Well, I have to I guess. My wife said I needed to be reading this a long time ago. I said “I read it all the time.” She goes “yeah, but do you follow it?” Oh man.
Yikes!!
Just when I thought I was in the clear!
oh NO
Yikes
Ok Ok Ok Ok OK
Ooops
I’ve got problems
Fixing the leaks…zippidy do da
But but but…..I TRIED to do the word of God!
As John G. Lake, who was a man of great faith, said: “It’s NOT try, but TRUST” that puts you over! Faith simply steps out on God’s Word and there you find that instead of pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps the HOLY SPIRIT is holding you up and leading you on from victory to victory, from glory to glory…and NOT from failure to failure or defeat to defeat! Praise God our God reigns and FAITH works!
Uh oh
Ok! I will fix the leaks!!!
OK….I guess I have to
Ok…l’ll work on it!!!
Ok…I better get some sealer and make some serious patches!
The leaks somehow seem to creep back. I think l need to use more appropriate tools this time…
Oh no!
Ok….I will patch my leaks. Satisfied? Here I am. Ok. Whatever. I’ll do it.
The more leaks I patch the more there are!
It’s good you are finding the leaks, imagine what would have happened if gone undetected! Sinking is definitely NOT fun!
I’m patching as fast as I can!
Ok….I guess I have to say thank you….
Ok…I guess I have to say you are welcome…
Ok! I’ll do the patches!
GEREAT! At least then your boat will float easily instead of having to always bail the water out….that get’s very tiresome!
I hired a construction crew to help me with the patching work
Hey, all right, whatever it takes! 🙂
I think all the leaks are fixed now…taking it for a test drive
Good going…enjoy the ride, and then the voyage!
I guess I better go for a test drive too, although I am not sure I am ready!
God’s grace will come through for you as you launch out by FAITH, and the HOLY SPIRIT will hold you up and lead you and anoint you for the journey ahead!
I ran out of glue so I am using tape.
Make sure it is waterproof tape and you will be good!
Ok, I’m here, I hope certain people are happy.
I’m patching patching patching…..
I guess I have to agree with this. Ok..ok…ok
Because of these posts, I’ve had to do a lot of work this summer!
Fixing leaks turned into a major project!!!
Tell me about it…..lve been patching all summer!
yeah, my whole summer was basically patching too!
I appreciate this SOOOO much!
Jesus took note of those who were truly thankful and grateful for the healing and blessings they received as He ministered to them. Few came back to say thanks and give God glory and they were the only ones who were made whole! So thanks for saying how you appreciate this! That means a lot to me and to Jesus. I do this for two reasons: Jesus and for people who are hungry and thirsty after righteousness….who will be filled…filled with faith, truth, peace, joy, and all the blessings of God in Christ Jesus!
Ok, I’m here, are you happy? You know who you are!
Ok, so this guy tells me I have “boat” problems, and that I better get my boat fixed before I have to swim. I told him “you may be handsome, but you’re NUTS!” But…I came here just to see what he was talking about and ooops. I do need to work on my boat. I don’t know what this is all about, but I have to stick with it I think.
The Holy Spirit will open your eyes and reveal what you need to know! This is the real deal and God is working miracles in many lives! Hang in there and watch what Jesus does in your life… it will be totally good and powerful!
