But we have to ask the Lord, “God, is there a leakage in me today? Is there a door that I have allowed?” Because the enemy likes to get a foothold, then it becomes a stronghold in our lives.

Bishop Caesar Senior would often say, You cannot prevent the birds from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from making a nest.

We do have the Word. We have hope. The Bible tells us that we have a hope, which we just heard in the song, as an anchor for the soul—firm and secure in Christ.

So what’s key in principle for us is just to make sure that we continue in God’s Word, stay in the Word, stay in prayer, continue to abide in the presence of the Lord, and let God complete His work in us. Let Him do it—the things that we cannot do.

To be sure, the greatest battles were won on Calvary and in our hearts when we were born again, but we must also fight daily battles in our life of sanctification.

An anchored soul is rooted in truth—the truth of God’s Word, not circumstances. It is stable in trials. It is at peace, even when the storms of life are raging.

Even though the soul and the spirit are inseparable, the Word of God is able to reach them individually. Soul and spirit are the non-physical parts of a being,. . .

within us our soul is crying out. There’s … something going on, a shift that’s taking place in our soul. But like the Psalmist, we have to preach to ourselves.

And there’s a quote that says, “You are not a body that has a soul, but rather, you are a soul that has a body.” Your soul is far more important than the body . . .

God responds to hunger, not history. Not your past behaviors. “I’ve been doing this for 20 years, I’ve been doing it for 30 years, this is the way I’m doing it.”
