This morning on Rich Thoughts For Breakfast I referred to 1 Corinthians 12:22 without quoting it. After the call. . .that verse kept stirring in my spirit.

I vividly remember the first time I heard 1 Corinthians 12:22 in the New Living Translation. I immediately knew it was a verse that should be taught and/or quoted on a regular basis.

I knew God would use this verse to touch and change people’s lives who feel they are weaker or less important to Him as others.

The entire verse of 1 Corinthians 12:22 in the New Living Translation says:

“In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary.”

As I was re-reading that verse God immediately gave me seven reasons why you and every other believer are strong, important and necessary to the Body of Christ.

Before getting to the seven reasons you are necessary I want to share 1 Corinthians 12:22 in two other translations.

First, the Contemporary English Version of 1 Corinthians 12:22, says:

"In fact, we cannot get along without the parts of the body that seem to be the weakest."

Second, the New International Reader’s Version of 1 Corinthians 12:22, says:

10. Faith is the best antidote to worry. . .fear. . .and doubt.

9. Our lives would be so much richer if we listened more to what God has to say and less about what others have to say.

8. When you just don’t know what to do next. . .remember. . .God always does.

7. One of the best ways to receive a miracle is being used of God to facilitate a miracle in someone else’s life.

6. When you keep your focus on praying for your friends and others even as you battle for your very existence you will be rewarded. Job 1:22; 42:10

1. Let the trials and tragedies of your past become the testimonies of your future.

Several days ago during a Rich Thoughts For Breakfast call. . .we posed a question.

Here it is.

If it’s God’s will to give us the kingdom, then why are so many people struggling?

During the call we taught five hindrances to your surplus of prosperity.

Fear. . .of the unknown. Fear of failure.

Doubt. . .that God will do what He says He will do in His word.

Anxiety. . .over the current economic and political landscape.

Hesitation. . .to give what God says to give because of our perceived limitations and lack.

Disbelief. . .over whether everything promised in the Bible applies to “me.”

Notice the progression of the five hindrances. . .one builds upon the next one.

Today, I was going to teach in depth on the five tricks of the devil. However, I received a clear word to teach on them individually

I was further directed to teach them as He directed and when He directed.

Tonight, I felt directed that we should teach first on fear.

As we said recently and taught for years. . .Fear is the devil’s anointing.

We want you to write in the following statement where you can see it…remember it…believe it…confess it…until it’s manifested in your life.

“Fear is the devil’s anointing but I rebuke it because it has no place in my life.”Make no mistake about it. . .the enemy will continually try to bring fear into your mental thought process.

1. God is more interested in where you’re going…than where you’ve been. Phil 3:13

There’s no doubt that from time to time we’ll have to deal with difficult people.

There’s no need for us to identify them. . .you know who they are.

Number One: get rid of your difficult attitude. . .first.

“Yes, but Brother Harold, it’s not my attitude that’s the problem. . .it’s them.”

The object of your attention may have the worst attitude of anybody you’ve ever meet BUT you can’t move anyone else until you move yourself. It’s just the way God works (Matthew 5:23-24; 18:15-16)

You must get rid of any vindictiveness or offense. . .that’s occupying space in your mental hard drive.

You’ll never be able to break through the wall surrounding difficult people as long as you have the wrong kind of attitude.

What kind of attitude should you have?

Philippians 2:5 in the Amplified Bible says:

“Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in selfless humility].”
