Grab hold of the strength of the Word of victory that is power to us. Anchor it in your mind, in your heart, and in your thoughts!
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord!” - 1 Corinthians 15:57, 58
NOTHING’S IN VAIN
We can abound in the work of the Lord (God's PURPOSE for our life) knowing t
Seek first the Kingdom of God. Let His righteousness do rightness all around you. For, understand, when those come to oppose you – lift up His right hand, His Word, against that. For His left hand will sustain you, and His right hand will give you the direction of counsel, by His Spirit.
For He is raising up a people who are hungry to seek His Kingdom, hungry to taste of the Kingdom, and hungry to rule in the Kingdom. Understand and meditate; dwell upon His Word.
Seek His
Joshua 3:5 - "Then Joshua said to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.'"
God was telling His people that the only way they were going to be able to defeat their enemies was to prepare themselves -- it was not a matter of strategizing their warfare but preparing their hearts.
Rise up and get ready to take those first steps. Make ready to step into the deep and confront your fears. You have been equipped, p
Revelation 19:14 - "And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses."
In this passage, a wonderful picture is painted of the armies of Heaven following Christ into battle. These armies have been washed in the Blood of the lamb. These are the souls of the departed saints that are going to return with Christ when He invades this world and destroys the armies of darkness.
The Lord in this hour is about to send His fire u
"And have compassion on some, who are doubting" - Jude 22
Jude wants us to elicit an emotional response from his readers. He wants us to graphically see and understand the seriousness of believers who have backslidden into a life of sin and disobedience. He wants us to "feel" for these critically ill spiritual patients.
Because Jude uses the word "compassion." he is telling us that the spiritual condition of a backslidden believer is just as real and serious as the plight of a starv
2 Corinthians 3:6 - "The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."
People who are spiritual can only be fed with spiritual food. Jesus says He does not speak or act of Himself:
"The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works." (John 14:10).
Hunger for life in the Holy Spirit immerses us into an intensity of zeal, into a likeness to Jesus; it makes us into pure, liquid metal so hot for God that it travels like oil f
The Kingdom of God is not a matter of mere words but of an empowered life, and God is calling forth a company of overcomers. These overcomers will go into the world and testify to the goodness of God, attracting non-believers to Christ like moths to a flame.
IT IS TIME TO ARISE AND SHINE
We are the temple of the living God and the Holy Spirit dwells within us. God is calling us to rise from circumstances that have kept us, and be radiant with the glory of the Lord.
"Aris
Isaiah 61:4 - "And they shall rebuild the old ruins. They shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations."
As imitators of Christ, we know that we were created and called to serve others.
Will you accept the call?
God grants us favor when we are aligned with His purpose for our life so that He can use us to accomplish His divine purpose on the earth. We are all called to advocate for someone.
Hebrews 4:12 - For the Word of God is living and powerful..........
For one who has faith in the Word of God, there is nothing impossible. There are no impossibilities when there is faith..........and there are no exceptions.......
Our faith in God's word is not just an abiding faith; it is active -- it is aggressive by nature.
It has focus and purpose.
Faith grabs hold of the reality of the kingdom and forcefully and violently brings it into a collision with th
John 1:12 - "But as many as received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."
We need to stop laying claim to our family's genetic problems, inheritable sicknesses, dysfunctional behavior, disorders, hang-ups, curses, or any other negative thing that was a part of our life before Christ.
That old person no longer exists. "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away behold all things are become new
John 11:44 - "The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Unbind him, and let him go.'”
Lazarus had to be untangled before he was free to see, walk with, and touch Jesus again. Get free from everything that hinders your ability to hear, see, touch or walk with God.
It's time to come forth in resurrection power!
When we do remember and call Him, and He comes and acts, He does all th
Philippians 2:13 - "for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."
Isaiah 43:16,19 - "This is what the Lord says—he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, See, I am doing a new thing; Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
Let His presence breathe over you. He makes a way where there seems to be no way, and so today He will make a way where there i
"That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable to His death...not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:10, 12
"The power of His resurrection" can only be experienced after we have surrendered the totality of our being to the Lord, and died to our self-life and ways. Only then can we i
John 21:11,12 - "11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.”
When Jesus first came to the disciples on the shore, after the resurrection in John 21, He was ready and waiting to prepare a feast for His beloved.
It's time for us to become like Peter in this passage, and stop waiting for Jesus to come out to us, but rathe
We develop a resurrection mindset, not just the future resurrection but in our thinking now. There will be an ultimate resurrection and glorification. There is a resurrection power working in us now. Our spirit has been raised from the dead already (see Romans 6:3).
"And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in us." - (Romans 8:11 ). The Bible says
John 11:25 - "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life....."
God wants to resurrect things that have died in you. You may think that your window of occasion is past the time that anything good can happen, but remember we serve the God of the resurrection.
We are to be continually taking ground for the Kingdom of God as we position ourselves in the place that He has called us to. As we continually experience His person our eyes are opened to see from His heavenly pe
Colossians 1:18,20 - "And He is the head of the body, the church....to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross."
The work of the Cross of Christ made it possible for Believers in Him to receive right standing with the Father. Jesus' righteousness became theirs. They could now enter into fellowship and favor with God. Satan had been deprived of his one great weapon. The people who put their trust in
Ephesians 1:20 - "His power at work in us who believe. This power in us is the same as the mighty strength which He used when He raised Christ from death...."
You have resurrection power attached to your prayer life! You can look to things that are absolutely dead and pray forth eternal LIFE!
The same power in us is the same potency God demonstrated when He raised Jesus out of the grave. "And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on
Philippians 3:10 - "That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death."
For His sake, we cannot content ourselves merely with good works. ultimately, we will discover that study and church attendance are but forms that have no satisfaction in and of themselves.
Our pleasure will be found not in the mechanics of spiritual disciplines, but that these disciplines bring us closer to the almighty.
We have satis
Romans 8:11 - "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."
Our purpose is to utilize all of our resurrection authority that resides within us as followers of Christ. As we understand that our spirit is "quickened" by His Spirit, in the same way, we should be "ACCELERATED" to go further and faster now on earth otherwise impossible through mere h
John 20:14-16 - She glanced over her shoulder and saw someone standing behind her. It was Jesus, but she didn't recognize him! "Why are you crying?" he asked her. "Whom are you looking for?" She thought He was the gardener. "Sir," she said, "if you have taken Him away, tell me where you have put Him, and I will go and get Him." "Mary!" Jesus said. She turned toward Him. "Master!" she exclaimed.
Mary looked at the Word.
Mary heard the Word.
But she didn't know the Word. Mary didn't know
2 Samuel 5:20, "So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water."
David is speaking about his experience with the Lord's breakthrough. He describes it like an outburst of waters that is like a flood breaking down the wall of resistance coming from the enemies of God. This reveals how important it is for us to stay flooded with His Presence and let His waters spring forth in our live
Isaiah 60:1–2: "Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and Yahweh's glory now streams from you! Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick gloom covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you and the brightness of His glory appears over you!" (Isaiah 60:1–2 TPT)
It's time for the Church to rise up and be radiant! Since we've crossed the threshold into the new year of 2020, we have not merely stepped into a new decade, but a new era—a new season in the Spi

"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, my great army which I sent among you" (Joel 2:25).
Since we serve a God of restoration, we might ask the question: "What can God restore?" The answer is that God can restore everything that has been lost; nothing is impossible with Him (see Luke 1:37). Whatever has been lost in your life, whatever has been stolen, and whatever has been taken from you, Go
