1 Corinthians 11:26, "For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till He comes."
The "Tree of Life" relates to life or death. The "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" relates to that which is good or bad, or, right or wrong.
In our daily life experiences we often make decisions, or choices that relate to right or wrong, and comment about it being either good or bad. As we do this, we again become attached to the tree of knowledge. Th
Isaiah 60:1 - "Arise, shine! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the LORD rises to shine on you."
The shift that is upon you right now is the greatest shift and birthing of your life. There is a royal flush of His victory that is already yours in Christ, manifesting powerfully in your life to position you in ways you have never been positioned in, to do what you have never done, and go where you never thought you could go.
You will RUN, RUN, RUN with Him, and y
Matthew 7:13-14 - "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it."
Look for God's purpose in everything you are going through and live in the moment, moving forward in each step cautiously, and using His wisdom. As
Hebrews 5:14, 6:1 - "But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity."
In the letter to the Hebrews, the recipients had long been Christians, who by then ought to have been teaching others. Instead, they were still like infants needing to be fed milk (Hebrews 5:12-14).
They were to go on to maturity, to the status of spi
2 Peter 1:10 - "Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall."
You shall never fall. The devil's out there 24 hours a day devising ways to make us fall. Jesus is on the throne 24 hours a day giving us power to resist him, and we need to be exercising our faith all the time.
If you're going to stand in the days ahead, you're going to need a lot more than Sunday school Laodicean faith. Y
Exodus 33:14-16 "And He said, 'My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.' Then he [Moses] said to Him, 'If Thy presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here. For how then can it be known that I have found favor in Thy sight, I and Thy people? Is it not by Thy going with us, so that we, I and Thy people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the earth?'"
This is a key of great power in God's Kingdom. The presence of God is t
Psalms 62:5-8 - "My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us."
In His Presence Are the Answers That You Seek. Wear the crown of glory that He would have you wear uprightly. Lay down any identity that man would come with. Man would come and try to push His crown off your head, and put upon it a counterfeit identity.
Lay down
Colossians 3:2 - "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."
This is a time to be fully aware and fully impassioned for the things of God. Do not let the noise and distraction of the things of the world steal your attention in this critical hour! Set your full affections completely on the things that are above and don't be swayed by anything this world has to offer.
When your mind is cluttered with religious mindsets (which often we don't realize), they blo
John 8:36 - "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
Break free from everything that hinders the work of His Spirit in your lives. Be free from all false expectations, man's expectations, religious expectations; every expectation that does not come from the hope and expectancy that He gives to you.
So you must be emptied of all the things that hold you in the earthly realm, repent and turn away from those things that break His heart. Set your prioriti
Ephesians 3:20 – “Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”
Out of the box thinking realizes there is no box. You are the limitless PURPOSE and MANIFESTATION of God’s glory, released into the earth with the same anointing, mission, and message Jesus had over 2,000 years ago.
You now live beyond the dimension of needing your needs met, and you live in that kingdom dimension of being the conduit
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
Instead of losing heart in 2020 and wondering if something will come alive, begin to actively take control of the situation and "call into being things that were not." God created the universe with the creative, miracle-working power of His Word and He asks us to do the same, even today.
The enemy want
Hebrews 13:5 - “...I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”
Do you see any storms on the horizon? Don't quit! Make the decision to press through, to press forward, to keep pressing on, even in the face of certain adversity; God has not brought you this far to drop you now!
Declare and meditate on what you know to be the scriptural truths of God! You KNOW He is good! You KNOW He is faithful! You KNOW He will never leave you or forsake you He will bring you through this s
Galatians 2:20 - "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me."
When we completely lay down our lives, not caring what the outcome is, then we make room for Christ to be fully formed in us (see Galatians 4:19). As that occurs, then it is no longer our faith that accomplishes the promises of God in our lives, rather, it is His faith.
Amos 9:13 MSG - "...Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings!"
Your promotion will produce personal chaos. This is a blessing and not a curse. Know that if God is with you, you won't fail. Cling to God tightly and press forward.
Don't return to the familiar or the comfortable. The cloud has moved. His grace is now found in
1 Corinthians 2:9 - "But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.'"
2020 will see the Lord bring swift advancement to many people. There is also a call from the Lord for His people to move beyond their comfort zones and step into new territory, operating in the new way the Lord is leading them. They will spiritually move into a new land, occupy new territory and move significantly bey
Numbers 6:24,25 - "The Lord bless you, and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; "
2020 will be marked with great blessing but do not forget Him when you have need of nothing. Do not forget Him when the desires of your heart have been answered and fulfilled. Do not forget Him when that promotion you were desperate for has been given to you or where things are great and wonderful.
When we enter into a season of abundant blessing it can often be
Colossians 3:2 - "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth."
Many people who are filled with unbelief call themselves "realists." Unbelief is faith in the inferior. Unbelief is actually faith in something other than God. They believe the material world rules over the spiritual world. Materialism is not simply the accumulation of goods.
We can want nothing and be materialistic because materialism is faith in the natural as the superior reality. Spiritual things a
Job 22:28 - "You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways."
We can see from several passages of Scripture the power of our decree. The people of God will receive their breakthrough by what they decree, decide on a matter and declare prophetically for breakthrough in the area of their need.
A decree is based on our decisions. In addition, angels only respond to God's Word and are sent to carry out His will in our lives. "Bles
Colossians 3:3 - "For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God."
Paul informs us that God hid our abundant life in Christ. Where is He? Answer: seated at the right hand of the Father, in heavenly places. (Ephesians 1:20) Our abundant life is hidden in the Kingdom realm. And only faith can make the withdrawals.
Faith was never intended only to get us into the family. Faith sees. It brings His kingdom into focus. All of the Father's resources, all of His benefits,
Psalm 103:20 - "Praise the LORD, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His Word."
We are the heirs of salvation, and the angels have been assigned to minister on our behalf, but again, we have a part to play. "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" (Hebrews 1:14). We are the ones giving voice to God's Word, just as we see in Daniel 10:12 when Gabriel, the archangel, said to Daniel, "...I have come because of your word
Joshua 24:13 - "I gave you a land you did not labor for, and cities you did not build, though you live in them; you are eating from vineyards and olive groves you did not plant."
Stand firm in the midst of the assaults that have been warring against you. If you choose to SEE the goodness of God and trust His leading, you will see the hand of His deliverance. God is saying to you today that the provision is on the other side of your obedience to take one step at a time.
As you cr
Isaiah 52:1-2 TPT, "Wake up! Open your eyes! Beautiful Zion, put on your majestic strength!...put on your glory garments! ...Arise and shake off your dust! Sit enthroned, Jerusalem! Break off your shackles of bondage from your neck..."
Garments are significant and identify who you are and what you function in. Sometimes we can allow our season, others, or the enemy to put garments on us that are not ours. What we wear will influence how we carry and see ourselves.
Our garments c
Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NKJV): "Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls – yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills."
Here is a beautiful picture of worshiping and rejoicing in God at al
Romans 8:37 - "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
There is a "parting of the red sea" happening in 2020. You are crossing over into the land that is full of breakthrough, blessing, increase, overflow and the abundance of God. There have been things that have kept you going in circles and in confusion, stopping you from moving forward.
There is not only great victory over these areas, but greater insight, vision, and clarity to what has
Luke 15:28 - "But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him,"
In the parable of the prodigal son, if the elder son had considered his brother, he would have rejoiced at his return even as his father did. Rather he was totally self-centered and became angry.
How can we esteem others better than ourselves when in truth we really think we are better than others? The Pharisees did the right things for all the wrong reasons. Inside they were corrupt. So
