Hi Champion Partners and Friends!

I wanted to share with you something the Lord shared with me many years ago and has recently given me further revelation on. On the day that I was called into the ministry, the Lord spoke to my heart that He wanted me to train Champions 4 Christ. Being a coach, I was really drawn to the word Champion. So, I began to look throughout the Bible where the word champion was located, and I only found it in there three times! All three times it was about Goliath. What? So the Lord is calling me to train Goliaths? I knew that wasn’t right.  

As I continued my search, I heard the Holy Spirit say, “it’s (the word champion) all in the bible”. Through a course of events, I was led to the Hebrew word for Champion: geber. This word means: strong, courageous, mighty, warrior; one who always prevails.

A Champion is one who operates out of faith and not fear, one who is not passive but aggressive in battle, and one who is always ready. A champion is one who trust in the Lord with all his heart and leans not to his own understanding. A champion is also a person who believes in his covenant with God and acts on it! He is one who lives in God’s Word and acts on it! See, Champions don’t just know the Word of God; they act on what they know.

C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N: strong, mighty, warrior, one who always prevails.

You may be saying right now, “If I am a champion like you preach, then why am I not winning? Why am I not fulfilling God’s plan in my life? Why is God not ordering my steps?”

Let’s go to Psalms 37:23

The steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord: and He delighteth in his way.

The Amplified of Psalms 37:23 says it like this:

The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].   

Praise God! That is the man/woman we want to be - one who God, Himself, busies Himself with every step he/she takes! Why is that not happening more in our life? Why are we not seeing this daily?  

The key to this scripture, is the word man.  In the Bible, you will see the word man used in four versions of the Hebrew word. The first is adam. This is every man (woman) upon the earth. Ish is simply a man. Enosh is a weak or mortal man, but geber is the Champion Man.

This is the word for the man that you see in Psalms 37:23: “The steps of a good man…” This  man is not adam, ish, or enosh (every man upon the earth). This man is geber, the Champion man, the strong, mighty, warrior who always prevails! This is the man who God busies Himself with every step. Each one of us has on the inside of us the ability to be the geber man.

Next week we will talk more about becoming the geber man who God busies Himself with every step.

I am so excited to share with you what the Holy Spirit shared with me concerning the soul. After receiving this revelation, I have been able to walk in a greater measure of the scripture 3 John 2.

Again, let’s take a look at this wonderful scripture:

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

3 John 2

Let us continue with the last part of this verse. “Just as your soul prospers” is the determining factor of prospering and being in health. If your soul is prospering, you will prosper in life and in health. In the last blog we found that the soul is the mind, will, and emotions of a person. In other words, when your mind, will, and emotions are prospering in the things of God, meditating on the things of God, and walking in the things of God you will prosper in health and wealth.

While I was meditating on the soul prospering, I heard the Holy Spirit say to me, “the soul does not have an identity of his own.” The Spirit does. His identity is in God. The Body does - his identity is in the flesh. But, the soul will take on the identity of either the Spirit or the flesh. It’s almost like the soul is like a chameleon. Just as a chameleon takes on the color of whatever leaf or tree that it is sitting on, so will the soul. He will take on whatever he is fed more. He does not have his own identity, so he will take on the identity of the spirit or the flesh. It’s like the soul is always in the middle trying to decide which direction he should yield to.

This was an exciting revelation to me! This meant that I have the ability to change the identity of my soul. My mind, my will, and my emotions can be changed; and the more I focus on the “soul’s identity” during situations in life, in the very instant that something occurs, the more successful my walk in the spirit will be!

Let us use the Chameleon as an example again, my soul, the Chameleon, can “walk over to the leaf” of the spirit and take on that identity or characteristics of the spirit. Or, he can “walk over to the leaf” of the flesh and take on the identity or characteristics of the flesh.

I can either take on the identity of the Spirit, which is God, (and always will be God) or I can take on the identity of the flesh. When the soul and the spirit work together, it creates a “chameleon” that looks and acts like God’s nature - bringing more peace, joy, and understanding to our lives. When the soul and the flesh work together, it creates a “chameleon” that looks like the world - bringing fear, worry, and lack of direction to our lives. So, you choose, Champions. Which “chameleon” will your soul be? The spirit or the flesh? Remember, the word says that if your soul prospers, your life and health will prosper. Choose, the right “leaf” today!

I would like to pray a prayer over our Champion partners and friends. I pray, “Lord, ‘that daily, as our Champion partners and friends walk out their lives in You, that they will have an awareness of You and Your call upon their lives and as they continue to go forth in Your word, that they will change the identity of their soul to match Your spirit, and thus, they are becoming more like You (God) daily. I thank you, Lord, for each one of our partners and friends; for they are a blessing to us and to the body of Christ. I believe, with all my heart, that they will operate in 3 John 2 in a greater measure than ever before! I pray for Your exceedingly abundant blessings to be upon their lives as their soul prosper in You. In Jesus Name, I pray this. Amen.”

Let’s keep talking about 3 John 2, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” Last time we talked about the fact that God’s will for you to prosper in mind, body, soul, finances and health. Let’s take a look at the scriptures we studied last time:

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future.

We clearly see in this scripture, that God, out His great love for us, desires that we prosper.

Psalms 35:27

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.

Today we are going to talk about God’s desire for us to be in health. God’s will for your life IS health in your body and in your mind. God is so exact on this that He has given us a body that is designed to heal itself. For example, the moment that you cut yourself, your body begins a process of healing itself. The blood will start to clot within a few minutes or less and stop the bleeding. The blood clots dry and form a scab, which protects the tissue underneath from germs. If it is a really serious cut, the body will do the same process. Over the next 3 weeks or so, it will begin to repair broken blood vessels and new tissue grows. Red blood cells help create collagen, which will form the foundation for new tissue. The wound starts to fill in and new skin begins to cover this new tissue. As the wound heals, the edges pull inward and the wound gets smaller. Glory to God! We see in this process that God designed us to walk in health.

Below are two examples of scriptures where God talks about how healing is His desire for your life.

1 Peter 2:24

Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

Psalms 103:2-3

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:

Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.

God so loved us that in His precise creation of us, He made sure that we have prosperity and health in our lives. He wrote it in His word and gave us examples of it in medical science. All He is asking, from us is that we believe His word and act on the promise. Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. I encourage you this week to get in His word and meditate on these truths. Watch your faith grow as you do it.
