Here, banjo, there are some things you need to know:
#1 The reason why things may seem miserable to you or that trouble seems to crop up everywhere for you is because the Devil doesn't just sit back and say, "sure, destroy my kingdom, dwell in peace and enjoy life!" No sir, he comes to everyone, ESPECIALLY EVERY BELIEVER (to try to both discredit the Word of God and thereby God Himself, and to block you from growing in the Anointed One and His anointing and shutting down the Devil's projects), to cause trouble every which way he can. And you can AID the Devil in this by #1, not resisting him (you need to wear the family armor everyday (Eph 6:10-18), and take your place of authority over him (Ephesians 1:17-23) by sitting down with Jesus next to the Father and reigning over the Devil like a judge with a gavel), and by #2 speaking the thoughts of fear that he puts into your mind about whatever the situation is, because Proverbs 18:21 + Deut 30:19 = blessing and life as well as death and cursing are all in YOUR tongue, not God's.
He's put the authority of blessing and life in your tongue my brother. So look at Joshua 1:8 and see what God's formula is for good success and prosperity. You need to put it before your eyes, so it gets in your heart and then comes out your mouth. Not just once, daily.
YOU CAN DO IT! Your faith is good enough - it's Jesus' own faith. If you took out Jesus' faith, the Holy Spirit in Him, His anointing, the Blessing of Abraham on Him, the Favor (grace) of God on Him, His righteousness, etc, and then we took out yours, and then you turned your back and someone mixed 'em all up and then you had to turn around and say which ones belong to you, you couldn't tell the difference. BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL THE SAME. Look at 1 John 4 and 5, as well as 2, plus Isaiah 54:17 and Galatians 3:13-14 and Galatians 4:4-8 to see that this statement is true.
You have to decide you're going to stop rolling over for the Devil right now and that you're not going to take his junk ANYMORE! Get serious about confronting defeat, disaster, lack, poverty, failure, guilt, disappointment, depression, grief, etc - treat each one like a plate of bowel movements the Devil is presenting for you to eat. You would never touch that plate. Treat all that junk the same, BECAUSE Jesus said IF YOU WON'T HAVE IT IN HEAVEN THEN IT ISN'T GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE TODAY, because Jesus prayed, when His disciples wanted more faith, that the Father's will would be done for them, JUST AS IT IS IN HEAVEN, that they would have that here for their lives.
In Heaven there is no lack, poverty, defeat, sickness, disease, disaster, depression, darkness, etc, so if you don't see it in Heaven, get rid of it with your mouth, using the authority you've been deputized with (Jesus' own authority), RECOGNIZING that you are already today as righteous as you'll EVER be, just as righteous as GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS HIMSELF.
WOW! Stunning statement, but Isaiah 54:17 says that God did this and you see it in 2 Cor 5:17-21.
You can't wear the Breastplate of Righteousness without understanding and KNOWING this, that YOU, banjo!, are RIGHTEOUS, NOW, and forever.
Look also at Romans 5 and be set free. The words from that chapter for sin and righteousness are NOUNS, not verbs, not actions.
Since they are NOUNS, you see that before, when you WERE a sinner, you were made that way through ADAM'S 1 sin (not your own), and thereby had been translated into a state of sin, and sins were the fruit of that and no matter how much righteous you ever tried to practice, you were still a sinner in the eyes of God (that's why there are no good unsaved people).
CONVERSELY, NOW, through JESUS' 1 act of righteousness (NOT YOURS! Hallelujah, so you can't lose it, and it can never be dimished!) YOU, banjo!, have BEEN MADE (past tense) RIGHTEOUS! You are the righteousness of God (through nothing you did, just the way you became a sinner through nothing you did) now and forever! No matter how many times you end up sinning from now through the end, YOU ARE STILL RIGHTEOUS, because it was HIS righteousness He gave you and you became righteous through HIS righteousness, so it has nothing to do with you - IT IS A GIFT! Receive it today! Hallelujah! Then when you miss it, or sin, you aren't informing Him of anything, but you repent of your disobedience and receive your forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Now you are a prisoner of righteousness FOREVER. You have been made good enough! As good as God, in your state of being, your place of standing with God. You have right standing with God forever. No sin can ever separate you from God, or put you back into the prison of sin - you are forever free. Your sin debt past, present and FUTURE, has been paid in full (telesti as Jesus said).
So now every place you see references to the righteous, THAT'S YOU! Receive what those Scriptures say and act on them!
