It's a Shadow

Text: Amos 5:8
More Lessons: Psa. 23:4
Bible Reading in One Year: 2 Pet.1-3

In life there are so many things that look so real but without reality or substance. Nevertheless, there are other things that look so abstract but are much more real than things that can be touched physically. God ...calls those things which do not exist as though they did: Rom 4:17 (NKJV) (declaring shadow; a reality). Whereas there are some things in existence today that are actually a shadow of things yet to be. Col.2:17, Heb.10:1. Believers in Christ Jesus, everything outside of God's counsel are shadows, that cannot happen unless you permit them. One of God's servants admonishes us to declare old anything you don't want to see again. So when it comes to pain, death, affliction, hunger, lack, and deprivation; they are shadows that must pass away. Shadows cannot hurt, it cannot kill, it cannot destroy.

One day I was standing on the street corner and the shadow of a huge, heavily loaded truck passed right over me.

Did it hurt? Of course not. Shadows can’t hurt. That is why the Bible tells us that believers walk through the valley of the shadow of death (Psa. 23:4). But when an unsaved person dies, he walks into torments of the awful jaws of death itself.

It is only in God that all things are real, because they are good and perfect. This is why the book of James calls God ...Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Jam. 1:17. Num. 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?.

Moreover, our text today makes us to understand that there is no shadow in God; ...He turns the shadow of death into morning....: Amos 5:8 (NKJV) Child of God, this is your portion. Declare every hurtful and negative situations shadows today and they will pass away. Declare what must be and the angels of God will bring them into your life right now, in Jesus' name.

Prayer/Action
* I overcome the spirit of shadow casting evil into my life.
* I declare every negative issue of my life a passing shadow now in Jesus' name.
* Father, turn my shadow into morning in Jesus' name.
