INCREASING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

M A C - H A M M O N D . O RG
BY MAC HAMMOND
Did you know that you have a great
cloud of witnesses cheering you on as
you go about your life on earth? Hebrews
12:1 says:
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed
about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let
us lay aside every weight, and the sin which
doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that
is set before us (KJV).
When Christians die, their spirits go on to be with the Lord,
and they become part of this great cloud of witnesses. Part of
the definition for the word witnesses implies agreement and
exhortation. These witnesses are not only very much aware of the
unfolding plan of God on the earth, they know whats happening in your life and are cheering you on from the grandstand of
heaven, adding the power of their agreement to the course youre
running in this life.
One thing these witnesses cannot do yet is step into their
eternal calling of ruling and reigning with the Lord because that
requires a physical body. In order to fulfill this calling across the
vastness of a universal creation that is temporal and physical, we
have to have a physical body.
Angels cant do what we do as human beings because they
dont have physical bodies. They can only legally function in this

The seed is the Word of Godnot just a word off a page from the
Bible but principles from the Word. Gods Word sets our perception of life and reality and our paradigm of whats important and
what isnt.
When the principles of Gods Word are sown in the soil of
the human heart, healing is produced. Deliverance is produced.
Salvation is produced. Provision is produced. The kingdom is
increased, and for that, you will be rewarded.
When you use your time to preach the Gospel and go on
the missions field, when you use your talent, ability, and gifting
to lay hands on the sick, when you use your money to support
the preaching of the Gospel (thats the only time money is called
seed), you are increasing Gods kingdom.
If you arent sure that heaven is in your eternal future, you can
do so by praying this simple prayer and making Jesus the Lord
of your life.
God in heaven, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I confess
that I have not lived my life for You. But Im glad to know I
can change that. Ive decided to believe that Jesus is Your Son,
and that He died on the cross and rose again from the dead, so I
might have eternal life and the blessings of life now. Jesus, come
into my heart; be my Savior and be my Lord. From this day
forward and to the best of my ability, I will live my life for You.
In Jesus name I pray, amen.
If you prayed this prayer, it is important to tell someone. We
would consider it an honor if you shared this decision with us.

wisdom. Pray for wisdom on the job. Youll enjoy your work

4. Respond Well to CriticismProverbs 13:18 says, He
who ignores instruction comes to poverty and shame, but
whoever heeds correction is honored. Respond positively to
criticism and youll be a long way toward finding happiness on
the job.
5. Admit When Youre WrongProverbs 28:13 says, He
who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who
confesses and forsakes them will find compassion. Be honest
about your mistakes. Become known around the office as a
person who is willing to own up to mistakes instead of pointing
the finger at others. Youll earn credibility, respect, and trust from
those with whom you work.
6. When Needed, Ask for HelpProverbs 24:5 says, A
man of knowledge increases power, and in the abundance of
counselors there is victory. Know when to ask for help or more
information so you can do the job right.
7. Avoid GossipJames 4:11 says, Speak not evil of one
another. Proverbs 17:9 says, He who covers over an offense
promotes love, but whoever repeats a matter separates close
friends. Participating in office gossip is tempting but very
destructive. Refuse to participate in gossip in the workplace and
youll earn the respect and trust of everyone around you.
Psalms 128:2 says, When you eat of the fruit of your labor,
you will be happy and it will be well with you. No matter who
you are, no matter what you do, when you put a biblical work
ethic into practice, your job can be a source of fulfillment and
promotion for you.

Right now, the Spirit of God is training
up a powerful army of pray-ers. He is preparing them to take up their spiritual weapons, win new territory for the kingdom of
God, and dispel the demonic storms that
loom, even now, on the horizon.
He is teaching them to pray not according to their own
human wisdom or what others tell them, but by the leading
of the Holy Spirit.
This is not the first time God has assembled such an
army. He has done it many times beforeespecially in seasons of world crisis. In 1936, for example, as the dark clouds
of World War II began to gather, He brought together such
a group in England to help fight that warand win iton
their knees. The leader of that group was Rees Howells, a
man who had given his entire life to intercession.
Apart from the truths and testimonies included in the
Bible itself, I know of no more inspiring, convincing proof
of the power of Spirit-led prayer than the experiences of
Mr. Howells. In the final years of his life, he and the young
people who prayed with him won battles, saved lives, and

Be Wither-Proof
My prayer life would never survive without times like that
with God. I am living proof that what Jesus said is true:
Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will
live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without
abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you
bear fruit unless you abide in Me. I am the Vine; you are the
branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union
with Me] you can do nothing. If a person does not dwell in
Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers
(John 15:46 Amplified Bible).

Psalm 25:14 says, The secret of the Lord is with those who
fear Him, and He will show them His covenant (NKJV). Just
like you dont share your secrets with acquaintances, not every
Christian knows Gods secrets. The one and only key to Gods
secret wisdom is the fear of the Lord.
With the fear of the Lord as the foundation, John Bevere
then taught Thursday and Friday from his latest book, Relentless:
The Power You Need to Never Give Up. He started by showing
scripture after scripture that illuminates the truth that suffering
is inevitable, but the attitude with which you face adversity will
affect your experience during difficulty.
We are in the middle of a battle, and to be armed appropriately,
you must know that adversity (hardship) will happen. You have the
strength to overcome whatever you are facing. You never have to
lose! You must embrace a positive attitude during adversity.
God gets really quiet during adversity. He wants you to
believe what He already said. John Bevere
In the middle of adversity, Paul had a revelation of the grace
(empowerment) that God has given to us. He realized that God
uses our present challenges to strengthen us for greater challenges
in the future.
On Friday, John showed us that every believer who receives
Gods abundant grace will rule in life through Christ. Gods grace
gives us the ability to go beyond our own ability.
Properly navigating adversity propels us to greater authority and power in life. ... No matter the pressure of the hardship
you encounter, the difficulty is nothing compared to the level
of rulership you will walk in after it has passed, if you handle it
right. John Bevere
