  The birth of Jesus Christ was as follows:  After His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be expecting a Child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband to be, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public spectacle, thought of ending their relationship privately.But, while Joseph thought about this issue, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to marry Mary because she carries a conception of the Holy Spirit and she will deliver a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus because He will save His people from their sins.”...The Joseph being woken from sleep, did as the Lord’s angel had commanded him and married Mary. But, he did not know her until she had delivered her first born son whom he named Jesus....After Jesus was born, wise men came from the East to worship Him....When the wise men had departed, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and instructed him to, “Arise, take baby Jesus and His mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you because Herod will search for the young Child to destroy Him.”When Joseph woke up, he took baby Jesus and His mother Mary by night, left for Egypt, and remained there until King Herod died, that it might be fulfilled what God spoken through the prophet Hosea, “Out of Egypt I called My Son”....After Herod’s death, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream in Egypt, and instructed him to, “Arise, take baby Jesus and His mother Mary, and return to the land of Israel because those who sought the young Childs’s life are dead.”Then Joseph woke up, took baby Jesus and His mother Mary and returned to the land of Israel. (Matthew 1:18-2:21)***These Christmas Scriptures show us that Mary experienced a lot of problems around the birth of her baby Jesus. The first was that her relationship with Joseph was threatened because she was found to be pregnant before they were married.
  This problem of Mary teaches us that sometimes when God enables us to conceive “things” inside us like ministries through the power of the Holy Spirit like Mary had conceived Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit, we may encounter problems in our personal and even professional lives.
  This “problem” with Joseph that Mary encountered was a big problem because not only would their relationship end, but she would be a public disgrace once the reason for their break up came out. In addition to this, there was probably little that Mary could do to convince Joseph to remain with her. This was probably the worst thing for Mary but it shows us that those problems which we can do nothing about, God can intervene like He did for her and solve our problems for us.
  Therefore, when you encounter big problems that you can’t solve as you go about in obedience to God’s call, do not despair. Hand over your problems to God as you continue serving Him and let Him do for you what you cannot do for yourself.
  Note that the Bible does not say that Mary thought of ending her pregnancy because it had brought problems to her relationship so that she could solve this relationship issues. Therefore, do not think of terminating your ministry in an attempt to solve the financial or relationship or social problems that may have begun once you started your ministry. Focus on God’s call on your life and delivering what He has deposited in you as you leave Him to solve the humanly “impossible” problems.
  Understand also that God is able to provide you with the best solution for your problems like He did for Mary because He gave a very good husband. We know that Joseph was a good husband because his life was severely “disrupted” by agreeing to marry Mary who was pregnant with a “Child” that was biologically not his because he was able to stick with her and Baby Jesus through all the midnight escapades to and from foreign lands.

• How to Fight Temptation with Bible Verses

  Regardless of whether you are tempted to use illicit drugs, abuse prescription medications, alcohol or cigarettes, watch pornography, fornicate, commit adultery, murder, theft, perjury or sin in any other way, you have to combine spiritual, mental and physical interventions to form your own holistic deliverance ministry to resist the temptation so that you do not succumb to it.
  The first spiritual step for overcoming temptation is to pray and ask Jesus to help you because the Bible tells us that We do not have a High Priest who is not able to sympathize with us in our weaknesses. We have One who has been tempted in all ways that we are tempted and yet He did not sin. Therefore, let us boldly come to the throne of grace that we may find mercy and grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:15-16)  
  Therefore, begin praying right there in the middle of the tempting situation and ask Jesus to help you overcome the temptation.
  As you pray, use Scriptures since Bible verses are the foundation of any deliverance ministry and Christian spiritual warfare for the Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit that God has given us to fight with. (Ephesians 6:17) Therefore, we will call the Scriptures that we will use to overcome temptation  SWORD WORDS .
  SWORD WORDS that you can use as personal deliverance prayers ro help you resist temptation include: 1. Father God, this temptation that I am facing is not an unusual temptation because other people also face it. But, You are faithful and You will not allow me to be tempted beyond what I am able to bear. Therefore, I ask You in the name of Jesus to show me the way out of this temptation so that I can resist it. (Adapted 1 Corinthians 10:13)  
  After praying look around to see how you can leave the tempting situation immediately. Learn from Joseph when Potiphar’s wife was tempting him to commit adultery for he fled and left the tempting situation in haste without even bothering to take back his cloak from her hand. (Genesis 39:12) Therefore, look for an exit and take it immediately.      If the way out of your tempting situation is not yet clear and you are not able to leave in haste, there are several things you can do to help you avoid succumbing to the temptation: 1. Stop looking at the temptation The first thing you need to do to resist the temptation regardless of whether it is a person who wants you sin sexually with them or it is an illicit drug, alcohol or cigarettes you are being offered is to stop looking at the temptation. Learn from Eve because looking at the tempting fruit was her downfall for When Eve saw that the tree was good for food and that it was pleasing  to the eyes and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took its fruit and ate it. (Gen 3:6)
  Therefore, avert your gaze from the temptation because if you continue staring at it, your perception of it will begin to change. It will begin to look like it can offer you a pleasurable experience or a new experience or add value to your life in some way.  The temptation will then begin to change from being a definite NO to a MAYBE and finally into a YES. You will then find a reason to justify yielding to the temptation and doing the wrong thing.
  2. Redirect your mind to God’s word The second thing you need to do to resist temptation in any tempting situation after averting your gaze from the temptation, is to avert your mind from what your tempter is telling you and redirect it to what God’s word says about that  issue. Learn from Eve because if she had redirected her mind from the devil's suggestive words to God’s words about the fruit, which were, You shall not eat it and you shall you touch it (Gen 3:3) chances are that she would have never touched the forbidden fruit let alone eaten it.
  Therefore, whether you are being tempted to fornicate, adulterate or to sip, swallow, sniff, smoke, inject or ingest something you know you should not even touch, let alone put inside your body, instead of thinking about your tempter’s words, redirect your mind to God’s word which says Abhor what is evil (Romans 12:9) and don’t touch the temptation.   How to Fight Download

  Regardless of whether your true enemies or false friends are opposing your efforts as you try to improve your finances, family or firm, you have to combine spiritual, mental and physical interventions to form your own holistic deliverance ministry and fight all those people and powers opposing you.
  The first spiritual step is to pray. Learn from Nehemiah who faced stiff opposition as he was leading the rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem for When Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, they became very angry and conspired to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion. 
  Nevertheless, Nehemiah says, We made our prayer to God. (Nehemiah 4)
  Therefore, if you are facing opposition as you try to rebuild your marriage, ministry, career or whatever had been destroyed in your life, the first thing that you must do is to pray and ask God to help you.
  As you pray, use Scriptures since Bible verses are the foundation of any deliverance ministry and Christian spiritual warfare because the Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit that God has given us to fight with. (Ephesians 6:17) Therefore, we will call the Scriptures that we will use to fight opposition SWORD WORDS.
  SWORD WORDS that you can use as personal deliverance prayers to fight opposition include: 1. Oppose those who oppose me, O Lord my God. Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and armor and stand up for my help. (Psalm 35:1-2)
  In addition to praying for yourself, ask your Pastor to pray for you and attend Deliverance services offline and watch them online so that you can learn different spiritual warfare prayers and receive deliverance from your opposition.
  After praying, put on the helmet of salvation since it is one of the weapons of our warfare being part of the armor of God that we need to put on to fight our spiritual battles. (Ephesians 6:14-17)
  All you need to put on this helmet of salvation is to say with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead when He died for our sins and you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
  The next step is the mental one of removing all negative thoughts from your mind. Learn from Nehemiah who advised his builders to remove fearful thought about their enemies from their mind by reminding themselves of God’s power for he said, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord God, great and awesome. (Nehemiah 4:14)
  Therefore, do not think about or meditate on how powerful and dangerous your opposers are. Instead think about or meditate on how great and powerful God is so that you can Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. (Ephesians 4:23) To do this, set specific meditation session during the day when you can meditate on the following spiritual warfare scriptures:1. That night the angel of the Lord went out and killed 185,000 soldiers in the Assyrian camp. (2 Kings 19:35)
  2. During the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and let them out. (Acts 5:19)
  3. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord God will lift up a standard against him. (Isaiah 59:19)
  In addition to this, understand that you must combine your confidence in God’s ability to help you out (God confidence) with confidence in your ability to do your part (self confidence). Learn from the Israelites because they were initially unable to face their opposers and conquer their promised land because they lacked healthy self confidence for they said of themselves when they saw their opposers, We were like grasshoppers in our own eyes. (Numbers 13:33)

  Laziness is a self-defeating strategy in which a person does the destructive work for the enemy while thinking that they are not doing any work. For example, if you are too lazy to work and fight poverty, the enemy wins as you continue to wallow in lack while deceiving yourself that work is wack.
  Therefore, to prevent the enemy from winning effortlessly, you have to combine spiritual, mental and physical interventions to form your own holistic deliverance ministry to fight laziness and deliver yourself from destruction because He that is slothful in his work is a brother to him that is a great destroyer. (Proverbs 18:9)
  The first spiritual step is to pray and ask God to help you overcome laziness. As you pray, use Scriptures since Bible verses are the foundation of any deliverance ministry and Christian spiritual warfare because the Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit that God has given us to fight with. (Ephesians 6:17) Therefore, we will call the Scriptures that we will use to fight laziness SWORD WORDS.
  SWORD WORDS that you can use as personal deliverance prayers to overcome laziness include: 1. Father God, help me not to love sleep so much so that I do not come into poverty. Help me to open my eyes early in the morning so that I can be satisfied with bread. (Adapted Proverbs 20:13)
  2. Father God, help me till my land so that I will have plenty of bread to eat. (Adapted Proverbs 28:19)
  In addition to praying for yourself, ask your Pastor to pray for you and attend Deliverance services so that you can learn different spiritual warfare prayers and receive deliverance from laziness.
