Colossians 2:9,10 - "For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority."
Does that sound like a description of some pitiful, poor weakling that can barely make ends meet? No!. It's a description of the child of the King.
God is moving all over the Earth. Stay with Him. Stay in the Word. Every day affirm and meditate on those scriptures that show us our inheritance in J
John 16:14 - "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you."
Christ promised that the Holy Spirit would flow as living water from those who believe in Him. The fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Christ in order that the life of the Godhead might dwell in us.
Each new day we must begin with this conviction: Christ and I are one and the Holy Spirit will make this a reality for me. As the branch is in the vine, so we are in Christ and He in us.
Philippians 3:10 - “That I may know Him.”
Do I know Him where I am today? The initiative of the saint is not towards self-actualization, but towards knowing Jesus Christ.
The spiritual saint never thinks of his life as both worldly and sacred; he sees all trials and tribulations as the means of securing the knowledge of Jesus Christ. There is a reckless abandonment about him.
The Holy Spirit is determined that we shall realize Jesus Christ in every domain of life, and He will
John 16:14 - "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you."
Christ promised that the Holy Spirit would flow as living water from those who believe in Him. The fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Christ in order that the life of the Godhead might dwell in us.
Each new day we must begin with this conviction: Christ and I are one and the Holy Spirit will make this a reality for me. As the branch is in the vine, so we are in Christ and He in us.
Romans 6:4 - "as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so, we also should walk in newness of life."
New Life! The eternal unquenchable life of Almighty God. It's inside you. God's Word calls it a heavenly treasure inside earthly bodies (2 Corinthians 4:7). It just needs to be fed and stirred up on God's Word -- regularly -- just as your body needs food on a regular basis.
Jesus said we don't live by bread alone but by on every word God says. We should
Ephesians 4:1 - "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."
Observing others can help us set the bar of excellence hight for ourselves. But at some point, there must be a breaking point -- where one respects, admires, and learns from others but then turns inward to be what God called him to be.
You have to know for yourself that you have been created with gifts and skills and made for a purpose to advance His King
Luke 11:38 - "When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal."
If we are still "doing" acts of holiness to get God to move in our lives, then we are still operating under a "law" mentally that is not faith (Galatians 3:12). The legalist thinks, 'I can GET God to heal me by confessing "by His stripes I am healed.'"
The person who understands God's grace will not confess God's word with the motive of trying to GET God to heal him but
Hebrews 2:1 - "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."
You can really slip into unbelief about the promises of God. And when you do, it will cost you dearly. Hebrews 4:11 tells us, "Let us labor, therefore, to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
We must labor! Not by working with our hands or feet or struggling to get God to do something, but by
2 Corinthians 1:4 - "He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us."
We need a revelation of a greater power, an abiding presence sustaining and comforting us in the hour of trial. What more do we need in these last days when perilous times are upon us than to be filled and saturated with the Holy Spirit!
Baptized into Him, never to come out. May we know nothing among men except J
Isaiah 41:10 - "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
It is easy to say "Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!" when times are good. It is easy to believe the God loves you when you are on the mountaintop enjoying the sunshine. But what happens when you are down in the dark valley surrounded by your enemies?
When King Jehosaphat was surrounded by his enemies, He acted with wisdom
Revelation 3:20 - “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
When He walked the earth He stayed open as a door—a passageway between Heaven and Earth. He released the Kingdom of God from His Spirit, His inner man, to the outer world. Jesus, as a door, was fully open to our Father in Heaven and fully open to us on Earth. Through Him, Father worked freely.
At the very door of your
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
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
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
Matthew 19:16 - "And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"
The rich young ruler first, acknowledged Jesus as good, but not as God. This is the reason that Jesus responded to His request the way He did. Jesus was saying, "God is the only one who is good. You must accept me as God or not at all."
Second, he asked what he could do to produce salvation. He trusted in himself and believed he could accomplish whate
Matthew 15:6 - "Thus have you made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition."
Traditions rob believers of their healing. They steal the power from the promises of God.
One tradition says that it's not always God's will to heal you. It is God's will to heal you! It says so in His Word. If you don't believe that it is, then you can't pray in faith believing you'll receive. "If it be thy will" won't produce a healing harvest. You must know without a doubt that healin
Luke 1:37 - "For with God nothing will be impossible."
"What would Jesus do?" It is a question Christians are taught to ask themselves when faced with a problem. But when you ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?" in any situation, it is subject to your own interpretation and theology. So, when you try to think of what Jesus would do, you are going back to your flesh!
Maybe the reminder should be, "Watch what Jesus does." Watch what Jesus has done in the Gospels or leading me to d
2 Corinthians 12:9 - "...My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness...”
It is wrong for any Christian to attempt to live the Christian life. And we are not asked to do so. The Word of the Lord says "it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me" (Galatians 2:20). This is the secret of living the Christian life. Defeat is not caused by less work, but by too much work. When we are working, God's grace cannot come to us. Likewise, in our working too much,
2 Corinthians 3:8 - "How will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?" We live, we move, we reign over all things. "
1 Peter 1:8 - "You greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory..."
Psalm 40:8 - "I delight to do Your will, O my God."
In our hearts there is exceeding glory. When you lose your heart and Another takes your heart, and you lose your desires and He takes the desires, then you live in that sunshine of bliss that no mortal can ever touch. Divine i
Ephesians 6:11 - "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil."
In Ephesians 6:10-18, the passage on spiritual warfare, FOUR times the Holy Spirit tells us to stand. Yet, many Christians are focusing on wrestling their way to victory. You are already on victory ground (1 Corinthians 3:21,23).
So when the devil attacks you by saying, "Look at that small sum in your bank account! How are you going to pay the bills?" stand your grou
John 15:16 - "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you."
Take a look around you and assess who you have in your corner -- with whom can you share God's calling on your life. Who would tell you to go for it? Who would pray for you as you deliver on your destiny?
You may have to let go of old friends who are not moving in their sp
2 Timothy 1:14 - "Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you -- guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us."
Your Christ potential is useless to the enrichment of the lives of others until you come to understand God's purpose for your life.
Recognizing and affirming your inheritance in Christ, your right standing with God, and how to "walk in the Spirit" -- this is the quickest way to receive revelation of your calling in Christ. Live courageously so that th
Luke 18:9 - "To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:"
Most people are unaware that there are two kinds of righteousness. One form of righteousness is our own righteousness. These are the acts of holiness that we do in an attempt to fulfill the commands of the Old Testament law.
This is an imperfect righteousness because human nature is imperfect and incapable of fulfilling the law. A person who believes th
Mark 11:22 - "Jesus responded to them, 'Have faith in God!'"
Sometimes you are in a bad place and wondering how you will ever get to your destiny. You feel lost. You feel drained. and the pain can seem overwhelming. But if you want to meet your destiny, you're going to have to get up and get moving -- even if you still feel the pain.
What you focus on is what you will feel. What you keep your mind stayed on is what will drive you. Focus on what lies ahead, and then believe in Go
2 Corinthians 3:18 - "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
Many believers are mere products of their environments, allowing themselves to be victimized by the opinions of others and the assessments of human analysis. They lack the will to change or challenge the limitations placed upon them by themselves and others.
You are not designed to d
