Below is a powerful prophetic declaration Tony Hoveln spoke over the men! We are glad to have "Boston" Tony back from the East Coast!
God lives in me and he is my champion. Christ is alive and he lives in me, he is the Ancient of days. My God has been around since the beginning of time yet he is not so old and archaic that he does not understand my problems.
The issues of my heart do not elude him. My champion is the same yesterday today and forever, he is unchanging and he is ever present in my life. The Spirit of the living God is alive and living in me.
Genesis 1:1-3 shows me that God spoke and creation came into being. This God, my creator is alive and he lives in me. God became man and he walked on this earth.
He was not too proud to become like me but instead he humbled himself and came in the most humble form of humanity, as a baby dependant on humans.
He healed the sick, walked on water, calmed the storm, and walked straight through an angry crowd intent on throwing him from a cliff. He died for my sins and rose again,
he conquered sin and death and he is living in me. The same spirit that transplanted Philip in Acts 8:39 is alive and he is living in me. He said: “surely I am with you always even unto the end of the age”
(Matt. 28:20) and declared “I will never leave or forsake you” (Duet. 31:6, Heb. 13:5).
This same God is living in me and he never leaves. My champion, the living God never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever abandons me, this is the God who lives in me!
TESTIMONIES!
God has been so good to us! He is always good! I was thinking about one of my favorite sayings, one that has become a daily declaration for me.
"I am deeply loved, marvelously saved, greatly blessed and highly favored." Isn't that good? It helps me remember that I was very deeply loved
before I was saved. God gave His Son for me while I was still "at enmity" Paul says in Romans 5:8-10, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life."
Now that's good news! Think about it: if God loved you so much before you were even saved, don't you think He would love just as much after you are saved?
Somehow we get all messed up and start to get really uptight about God after we get saved. We start to worry about Him "crunching" us if we do something wrong.
Heavens! He didn't even do that when we were rank heathens. No, He gave His only Son for us. So... relax! God loves you all the time. He is not afraid of your sin
and failures. Jesus died for you! Now Father God want's to have fellowship with you and give you His grace to overcome every area of sin and failure in your life.
He is not looking the other way, afraid to let You see His face. He is looking at you this very moment, reaching out to you precisely where you need Him the most.
Take a moment and give your heart fully to Him.
Pray this simple prayer: Father, You are everything I need. I know You are as close as my breath. I give you all of me right now... the good, the bad and the ugly...
and I ask You to form Jesus in my heart through Your grace. I thank you so very much that I am deeply loved.
