    Episode 10, "Rest in the Lord" Season 14: Spiritual Warfare

    Send us Fan Mail Hello and welcome to CGM Presents: In the Word. My name is Dr. Stephanie Wright. On behalf of Charles George Missions, welcome to Season 14, “Spiritual Warfare.” This is episode 10 in our series, entitled “Spiritual Warfare Scriptures.” The resource for this series is the Word of God—the Bible—and the book “Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,” written by yours truly. Sit back, relax, and take a deep breath because today’s spiritual warfare scripture is about rest. Matthew 11:28 says, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”   Rest is a spiritual warfare weapon because spiritual warfare is perpetual—never-ending. When you commit your life to Christ, it is a lifetime commitment. There is no discharge from the Lord’s army, so you will need to learn to rest in the Lord. Also remember, there is a great reward in serving Him— ETERNAL LIFE, and other bonuses we do not even know about are the compensation we receive. 1 Cor. 2:9 tells us we haven’t seen nor heard, nor has our heart known the things God has prepared for us who love him. And consider this. The military soldier takes something called R&R (Rest and Relaxation). The spiritual warfare soldier has to do the same. It may not be a trip to a tropical island, although that would be nice. You may take an afternoon off and do what you please. But take a break and lighten up. Rest is good for your heart and soul. Prov. 17:22 tells us, A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. You need to refresh yourself for the next battle. My R&R includes sitting in a comfortable chair, viewing and listening to nature from my window during prayer time. The moment I sit down, I exhale, and I know I am at peace with God. So, take time every day, even if it’s only 15 minutes, and rest in the Lord. Rest is another weapon in your spiritual warfare arsenal. Thank you for joining us today. Now, let’s turn to Dr. Charles Wright, who will tell you how you may reach us and comment on this podcast. Until next time.

    Episode 9, "They That Wait Upon the Lord," Isaiah 40:31, Season 14 "Spiritual Warfare"

    Send us Fan Mail Today’s spiritual warfare scripture comes from Isaiah 40:31. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.” One of the most powerful weapons in our spiritual warfare arsenal is waiting on God. It is powerful because we do not realize what He is doing in the background for us while we are waiting. But when we are obedient to the Word of God, which tells us to “wait upon the Lord,” we honor Him, and because we honor Him by honoring His Word, He will do for us what Isaiah 40:31 says He will do. I speak based on a recent personal experience I alluded to in the last podcast. It took four years with a situation that was very painful, but in the end, in the course of my waiting and being obedient, praying, fasting, and listening to the Holy Spirit — in the end, God showed me all that he was doing in the background while I was waiting on Him to bring success so that I could mount up with wings as an eagle. God moved my enemies out of the way, exposed their lies, and empowered me, emotionally, financially, and most of all spiritually. He is now teaching me to run and not be weary as I fulfill the tasks that came with the victory. God gives us the victory, so that we can walk in it, and not be weary. Again, I waited upon the Lord during this four-year test by continuing in reading and studying His Word, praying with fasting, staying in church, giving financially and personally to the Lord's work—in short, I was obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit. And, yes, I prayed for my enemies. While we are waiting on him, he will strengthen us, and when the test is finally over, we will see what he has been doing in the background. If you don't see it in this life, maybe He will reveal it to you in the next life—but truthfully, I don’t think you will care when you get to heaven. So, wait on the Lord for He shall renew your strength, and you shall mount up with wings as an eagle, you shall run and not be weary, and you shall walk and not faint.

    Episode 8, "No Weapon Shall Prosper"

    Send us Fan Mail Hello and welcome to CGM Presents: In the Word. My name is Dr. Stephanie Wright. On behalf of Charles George Missions, welcome to Season 14, “Spiritual Warfare.” This is episode 8, and we are starting a new series, “Spiritual Warfare Scriptures.” The resource for this series is the book “Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,” written by yours truly. We will focus on one scripture each time we meet, and these will be vignettes or very short presentations. Use these scriptures to build up your arsenal for spiritual warfare by memorizing, meditating and implementing them into your daily walk with the Lord. Today’s scripture is from Isaiah 54:17, No weapon that is formed against YOU shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against YOU in judgment YOU shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Why is this such a popular scripture? I believe it’s popular because it represents victory in whatever turmoil, task, or terror that the enemy tries to attack you with. No weapon means “no weapon,” but it does not mean a weapon won’t be formed; it means the weapon will not prevail against you. No weapon formed against you will meet its intended end. So, if someone is trying to destroy you, physically, mentally, financially—they are not going to succeed because God will step aside and let the enemy turn on them, and they in turn will start fighting against each other. I have experienced this firsthand. God stepped aside and allowed the enemy to attack my enemies, and then those same enemies started turning on each other. Let’s look at the second half of Isaiah 54:17. People often overlook the second half of this verse, and every tongue that shall rise against YOU in judgment YOU shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. This tells us that the words people speak are weapons but again, their word weapons will not prevail against you. But what does this scripture tell us to do when words are spoken against us in judgment? It is our right—our heritage because Jesus gave us that right through His victory on the Cross—our responsibility to speak against those things and speak good things into our lives. This is why we need to know the Word of God. This is why we need scriptures in our arsenal so we can wage spiritual warfare against Satan and his demonic forces. This is why in this series, we are studying scriptures on spiritual warfare to prepare you   formed against you shall prosper.” Thank you for joining us today. We look forward to sharing another scripture on spiritual warfare next time. Now, let’s turn to Dr. Charles, who will tell you how you may reach us and comment on this podcast.  If you want to contact us or comment on this podcast, please visit our website and select www.cgmissions.com/podcasts, where all episodes are available by category in series format.

    Episode 4, "For with God Nothing Shall Be Impossible" Spiritual Warfare Series: Fasting

    Send us Fan Mail Nothing is Impossible with God Nothing is impossible with God. (Matthew 19:26; Mark 10:27; Luke 1:37).  These are words of encouragement when we go through difficult times. And haven’t we all been there at one time or another in our walk with Christ? If you haven’t, keep living. But we must never forget what God has done for us and we must remember that what He has once done, He can do again and again. It is so easy to forget, but the Holy Ghost brings to our remembrance all things. John 14:26. In this and future episodes, I will share some personal experiences with you on how prayer and fasting thwarted attacks against myself, my family, friends and even people I did not know personally. Yes, I said “prayer AND fasting” because that is what I learned early in my walk with God from the very first year I truly committed my life to Him. The church I attended after I gave my life to the Lord, taught prayer with fasting. Let me stop here and give a caveat. What I am talking about is what we (my husband and I did as prayer warriors). We are not saying you have to follow our pattern of fasting but we encourage you to thoroughly research fasting so you do not do harm to yourself. This includes following and seeking appropriate medical advice. Okay, moving on. The Bible talks about fasting in the Old Testament and the New Testament. In general, when you think of fasting, you think about denying yourself of food and water or just food. Some people expand the definition of fasting broadly to include denial of things that bring personal enjoyment. In the New Testament, Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights without food but we believe he had some form of water. (Matthew 4:1-2; and Luke 4:1-2). He understood the importance of fasting from the moment he was driven into the desert and the Holy Spirit compelled Him to fast and continue in prayer. It was only after that wilderness experience that He returned and began His ministry which included preaching, teaching, performing healings and miracles and more. (Episodes 7, this series). In the Book of Esther (Old Testament) the Jewish people fasted on two separate occasions in conjunction with praying to God to spare them from annihilation by an evil man named Haman. Queen Esther was not in the first round of fasting. (Esther 4:1-3). However, when she was asked to go before King Ahasuerus and ask him to spare the lives of her people (something for which she could be put to death), she asked everyone to fast three days and nights. (Esther 4:16). This included her maids who were probably not Jewish. And, of course, you know the outcome, the Jewish people were delivered and their enemy, Haman, was destroyed. (Queen Esther Podcast, Episode 7). We will tell you how to access these podcasts at the end of this episode. But, suffice it to say for now that fasting is Biblical and provides sound reasons for implementing it as a spiritual warfare weapon to answered prayer.  If you want to contact us or comment on this podcast, please visit our website and select www.cgmissions.com/podcasts, where all episodes are available by category in series format.
