Focus Promises for 2019

God’s Spirit dwells in our reborn spirits to lead us into all truth. He knows the soul-shattering events that send us reeling. He also made provisions for whole life soul restoration. We died with Christ on the cross that we may become partakers in his divine nature. In this first Sunday in 2019, focused promises include all things that God knows we need. For life in these United States, we need finances for education, affordable housing, money to maintain property and pay taxes, utilities, food, and clothing. These are the things that create fear, doubt, and unbelief in us, as we struggle between faith in God’s word and the tsunami of situations that is brewing and heading in our direction. Our confidence in God’s promises must be strong enough to carry us through. If we plant these three scriptures—speak them, believe them, and receive fruit manifestation—we will have an outstanding year that is promise-based and will produce fruit. Listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy on January 6, 2019, and be blessed!

2 Peter 1:3–4 AMP
³ For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. ⁴ For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [of inexpressible value], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature.

2 Corinthians 1:20 AMP
For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God.

John 14:13 AMP
And I will do whatever you ask in My name [as My representative], this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son.

Additionally included: Jeremiah 17:6–7 AMP
“For he will be like a shrub in the [parched] desert; And shall not see prosperity when it comes, But shall live in the rocky places of the wilderness, In an uninhabited salt land. Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord And whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord.”

Special Healing Prayer: Lion of Judah Worship Center includes time for Holy Spirit directed healing prayer. Today’s prayer time focuses on healing from mental illnesses and brain disorders. The entire service has been separated into three parts. We encourage you to enjoy all three, as a three-course meal!

Foundation Scripture for LOJWC Ministry:

“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Mark 11:23

What We Believe:

We believe in God, the Father, Almighty, and in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. On the third day he rose again according to Scripture. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, from whence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the God-head, who revealed himself on the day of Pentecost. We believe in the gifts of the Spirit and their continuous operation in the body of Christ. And we believe in one holy, universal, and apostolic church. Amen.

Faith Confession:

We conduct spiritual warfare. It begins with us as we speak God’s word and speak to our bodies, minds, and emotions. Therefore we make a faith confession which says: “Satan, in the name of Jesus, I declare this body a sickness-disease-free zone. Every germ, virus, bacterium, etc., that touches this body dies instantly in the name of Jesus, who bore my sicknesses, carried my diseases, and by whose stripes I have been healed. Therefore I command life into every cell in this body, I receive healing for my emotions from every past embedded hurtful, fearful memory. I speak active deliverance from the law of sin and death, according to the finished works of Jesus the Christ, the anointed and his anointing.”

Mountain Moving Faith

What is the mountain? It’s whatever is stopping you. It may have appeared to have dropped from the sky—and it did drop from the kingdom of darkness. Its purpose is to stop you, to keep you where you are, to keep you in your place, to keep you from receiving the fulness of the goodness that God has provided for you. Those are the mountains. The mountain can be financial, sickness and disease, unsoundness in our minds, and relational difficulties. These are the mountains we are to speak to by faith in the name of Jesus! Listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy on December 30, 2018, and be blessed!

Mark 11:23-24 AMP
I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and does not doubt in his heart [in God’s unlimited power], but believes that what he says is going to take place, it will be done for him [in accordance with God’s will].

1 Corinthians 13:2 AMP
And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing.

Creating an Attitude of Gratitude

We can’t help but praise and magnify God when we come to a full knowledge of what He has done. God already knew your situation was going to happen. He’s already provided a solution. Therefore, no matter what is happening in the natural circumstances we face, we can look beyond and praise God. As we begin to thank and praise God, the Holy Spirit will give us the words to speak. Negative thoughts come to us. They come like a meteor shower. That’s why we have to renew our minds. More importantly, we must lift up the shield of faith and not allow those negative thoughts to enter, that we may maintain an attitude of gratitude! Listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy on December 23, 2018, and be blessed!

Psalm 95:2 NASB
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 NASB
Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

We cannot be armed and dangerous to the kingdom of darkness if we are not concerned about things that are going on around us, not just in our immediate vicinity, but whenever we hear of an explosion of evil and wicked practices. Let us be as the prophet Isaiah, who said, “Lord, here am I. Send me.” (Isaiah 6:8) We have to be willing to go and willing to operate in kingdom principles. We have to enable to Holy Spirit to empower us, that we become armed and dangerous. Listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy on December 16, 2018, and be blessed!

Matthew 28:18 AMP
Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.”

Listen carefully: “I have given you authority [that you now possess] to tread on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] over all the power of the enemy (Satan); and nothing will [in any way] harm you.”

John 14:12 AMP
I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. I encourage all of us to examine our words. Are we speaking words of life or words of death, even to ourselves? How do we describe the things going on in our life? Do we describe the future according the circumstances of today? Or do we describe the future according to the Word of the Living God, because our confidence is in God’s word? The words we speak are very important. These statements will be explained by Scripture in today’s message. Listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy on December 9, 2018, and be blessed!

Proverbs 18:21 NKJV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Each gift of the Spirit is different, but it is given by the same Spirit to edify the body of Christ. May we be those vessels in the body of Christ through whom the Spirit can flow.

1 Corinthians 12:1–11

¹ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: ² You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. ³ Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

⁴ There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. ⁶ And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. ⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: ⁸ for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, ⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, ¹⁰ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

Love is the first fruit of the Spirit! When we received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we crossed the river. We left behind the land operating under the law of sin and death; we entered the land of the law of the Spirit of Life! We take time to grow in the nature of God. Love is a seed planted in our hearts—a seed that must grow to bear fruit. Listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy on November 25, 2018, to understand how to operate in the fruit of the Spirit. If we are not operating in the fruits of the Spirit, and we attempt to operate in the gifts, abuse results.
