10 THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU GET A BAD REPORT!

1.Whose Report will you believe? I will believe the report of the Lord! Phil 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report ; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.9 Those things, which ye hav17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
2.Choose Life or Death, Blessing or Cursing: Deut 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:
3.Mind What You Say And What Others Say Around You!
A farmer can not mingle his crop seed and get good crops, neither can you mingle your word seeds, Jesus said the Word is our seed, in his parable about the sower who sowed the seed on four types of ground. Prov.18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue : and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
4.Build Up Your Most Holy Faith!
Romans10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. You must build your faith by hearing books and tapes of Bible scriptures about healing scriptures. Testimonies of those who have been healed today and in the Bible. Both by God’s Divine hand and by the doctor’s medicines. There are those who believe God put sickness on us to teach us a lesson, but it is not biblically founded. Never did Jesus ever fail to heal anyone except where there was unbelief or lack of faith. All other references to Jesus’ healings said; “and He healed them all”. There is no question that it is Gods will to heal. The question is does the patient have the Faith to be healed? The right standing with God, and have they said or proclaimed things that keep God from intervening? Like: This will be the death of me./ My mother died of this, I guess I will too./ Dr. So n So “ You have this long to live!”/ Cast down all past negative word seeds and declare today that you will live and not die and proclaim the works of the Lord!
5. Faith Works By Love!
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. It’s God’s kind of love that we must endeavor to achieve like you see in 1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have (the gift of) prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And if I bestow all my goods to feed (the poor), and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Love suffereth long, (and) is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Love never faileth:
Love Gives, and it Forgives, it takes no account of wrongs counted against it.
6.Forgive And Be Forgiven! Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Unforgiveness is like a poison to our own bodies, I do not care what the other party has done to us physically, financially, spiritually, family relationship wise. You can’t afford to hold ought against them, it will cost you your relationship with God and it will cost you your health and prevent your full healing. Go make it right with the one you have something against, if you can’t reach them any more, let God help you to forgive them, but do not ask Him to do it for you. This is personal you have to release the personal hurt and unforgiveness, for you to get the relief, but He will help you.
7. Jesus The High Priest Of Our Confession! Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. He waits to hear your confessions of faith that line up with the Word of God so He can cause it to come to pass. I profess that I am whole and healed, walking in Divine health, that no weapon formed against me shall stand in Jesus name. According to the Word of God I am a child of God therefore I am an over comer, I am the head not the tail. I am walking in the love of God, keeping the precepts of God. I pray daily and listen to the direction of the Spirit of the Lord. Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. ( or the God kind of Faith) 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and (so) shall ye be my disciples.
8.The Joy Of The Lord Is Our Strength! John15: 9 Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love.10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and (that) your joy may be made full.
9. Seek The Fellowship Of Other Christian Families & Your Church!
Acts 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need. 46 And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved. Philip 2:2:1 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions, 2 make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; 3(doing) nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself; 4 not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. 5 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. It is all about the support system. In our Church families, or in our Christian communities. We must love one another, it is God’s commandment, not his request, so is forgiving one another, helping one another, praying for one another, giving to one another. In a busy world where we all have needs and microwave quick expectations, it is had to pay attention to other’s needs. However we must, and nobody knows you have needs unless you are humble yourself enough to share your needs with them. Start with your pastor, then your Christian neighbors, and family, ask them for their prayers and believing support. Their unbelief on negativity will not help, so disregard it and pray for the renewing of their faith when you hear these reactions. Just remember God is still on the throne and still in charge. If you let Him, He will heal you because it is His will, but you must receive the healing He has provided for you like he has provided for your salvation but it is up to you to receive it. 1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed .
10.Fear Not Appears 365+ Times In The Bible! Fear and Faith are both powerful, but they come from different camps. The power of Faith comes from God the power of fear comes from the devil, it is his greatest tool. Prov 9:10 The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding. In Hebrew the word for fear here is translated as awe or utter reverence of. God wants us to Love Him and to be in awe of His majesty, His power, and how much He cares and provides for us.
Fear comes from the devils ranks to dilute Faith to keep you from receiving what you’re believing for. Perfect Love cast out fear, is what the Bible says and we have already learned that Faith works by Love. So the more Love and Faith you have and build in your life the less fear you can allow in your life. Fear is a choice, just like Joy, and Happiness is a choice. You can choose to see every wrong and sadness in the world, or choose to wake up and say this is going to be a wonderful day, God’s mercies are new every morning, I am walking in divine health, this day I will serve the Lord how He leads me.

Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
