Giving in to divine force is the ultimate spiritual antidote to overcoming both spiritual and personal failure in our lives and affairs. The divine force is none other than God operating through the consciousness of man. Through divine force, a believer has absolute power and control over the kingdom of darkness. There are no impossibilities in God. All good things gravitate towards him. If a believer’s life is constantly plagued with shortcomings and limitations, depression, poverty and anguish, he is certainly not operating in the power of God.
The divine force attracts the spiritual and natural resources necessary to prosper in this present life. God intended for every believer to experience abundant life here on earth. The abundant life consists of joy, peace, and a sense of being unstoppable in the execution of God’s plan for our lives. Walking in the divine force enhances our circle of influence in whatever territory we enter. Therefore, when we abandon our own strength for God’s, we change. Disappointment and depression will no longer overcome us. Sickness, disease, and other threatening conditions will no longer intimidate us. The kingdom of darkness is no match for those who walk in divine strength.
Walking in God’s strength requires releasing our intellect as well as our religious habits and routines of simply going through the motions. Acquiring divine strength requires sincerity, commitment, and diligence. Our own intellect gets in the way of God’s plan for our lives over and over again. We try to figure out how God will resolve the conditions in our lives when we ourselves see no way out. Sometimes we even try to help God, but often find failure lurking around the corner. The fact is that the force of God goes beyond reason or intellect. Instead, such strength is demonstrated in faith. We must believe that God can execute his will through us if we let him. And if we do not allow it, we will not experience the divine force.
Breaking free from our religious habits and routines means going beyond the process of going to church. Going to church includes the routine of faithfully attending church several times during the week and always participating in all the programs and functions inspired by the spiritual officers of the church. Millions of believers follow these habits and routines but never seem able to walk in divine strength when adversity strikes their spiritual and personal lives. Instead, they fall into fear, depression, or anger at God for allowing this to happen to them. Many believers believe that because of their avid church attendance and participation, they are immune from scarcity and limitation, fear, depression, disease, and other tribulations that plague man.
However, believers must understand that the habit of going to church cannot replace the activity of walking in the divine strength. Only the strength of God can alleviate poverty, fear and limitations. Excessive church interferes with the development of the divine force. It takes time and patience in a quiet environment to develop the power of God. In silence, the force of God grows in us day after day, releasing the beauty of God in our environment.
To gain God’s strength, we must fully submit to God through prayer, meditation on the Scriptures, and endless gratitude. We must also believe that all things are possible without reservation. If we reject the awareness that the Christ within us is beyond impossibilities, we cannot acquire the divine power necessary to overcome the kingdom of darkness that tries to ruin our lives and affairs. Prayer empowers us with the strength of God, the more we pray, the more His strength within us is strengthened. The Apostles and prophets of old prayed with such depth and conviction that miraculous events became natural occurrences. The sick were healed, the captives were set free, and the dead were raised. No trap could contain these mighty men of God due to fervent prayer. Continuous and deep prayer unleashes the power and strength of God in our personal atmosphere, causing a transformation in every area of our life, including relationships, finances, business, as well as decision-making and attitude.
Meditation builds the wisdom and knowledge of God within our consciousness. When our consciousness is imbued with the wisdom and knowledge of God, we become unstoppable because we are aware of the truth. The kingdom of darkness can no longer deceive us. We become free in our hearts, souls and minds. We operate in the strength of God. The deep knowledge and wisdom of God penetrates from the walls of the dark realm. This occurs because spiritual consciousness is the eyes of God and his eyes uncover the deceptions and activities of Satan and his demonic host operating within our lives. Therefore, we can defeat him by overcoming his plan and his attacks.
We must abandon our own strength if we really want to be an important cause in the kingdom of God. Operating in our own strength is a curse that leads to spiritual failure, a joyless existence, and continual torment in the kingdom of darkness. Above all, we will fail to please God. So considering such unfortunate events, we should strive to acquire God’s divine strength in all areas of our lives. If we do, one thing is guaranteed: we will not be disappointed.
