2 Corinthians 3:8 - "How will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?" We live, we move, we reign over all things. "You greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory…" (1 Peter 1:8). "I delight to do Your will, O my God" (Psalm 40:8). 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 immortality swallows up all natural mortality. It is exquisite to walk in the Spirit -- rejoice inwardly, praise God reverently, and know that you are an increasing force of immortality advancing His Kingdom. 2 Timothy 1:11,12 - "And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For this reason I also suffer these things…" The reason Paul was never defeated by satan's attacks is that he had made a decision. He decided he would not stop or give up until he had apprehended that for which Christ Jesus had apprehended him (Philippians 3:12). Likewise the only way you'll be able to resist the devil's attacks and successfully achieve your calling in Christ is by determining never to stop until you have accomplished your divine assignment. Jesus taught that those who "endure to the end" are the ones who will receive the prize (Matthew 24:13). For power to be effective, it must work in a committed person. If you make the decision to stay in faith and "face-off" with the power of God at your side, you can do exactly what God called you to do.

Gideon was addressed as "mighty man of valor." Mary as "highly favored one." It is not a coincidence that God called them by such terms not after they completed their purpose, but before. This is how they were addressed from the outset then God called them to step into the appointed time of their destiny. You have a Messenger of Courage within you, a Helper, the Spirit of Truth, and He is calling to you like He did Gideon and Mary, already addressing you as beloved and a victor, not just hopeful of such. He wants to visit you, meet you, and call to the courage He already sees within you. He wants you to see yourself as He does -- carrying out your Christ calling) -- and He is imparting to you the courage necessary to leap out and seize the moment that is only just beyond your reach. He is calling you "Mighty" or "Favored" to remind you of your Christ identity. Now that you know who you are, you know what to do next. 1 John 2:20 - "But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge." Acts 26:24-25 - "Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, 'Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!' But he (Paul) said, "I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason." The words "beside yourself" mean to rave as a maniac, and it's the idea of incessant craving. Festus accused Paul of being crazy. Modern culture is not drawn to Christianity because the little they are exposed to is not extreme enough for them. What the world really wants to see is a Christian (YOU) who is totally enthralled with who Jesus is. Your spiritual learning shouldn't be just systematic theology books, but a distinguishable, crazy love that goes public.

We Believers have generally been too focused on and conscious of the imperfections of our lives. Repenting from our sins head-on is important and vital, but there is a whole other glorious side to our relationship with God that goes unrecognized by many. WE ARE CO-HEIRS CONFESSING CHRIST When we catch a glimpse of this new identity we have in Jesus Christ, we see sin to be the boring, useless, and stupid thing it really is and we turn more easily away from it. This other side has to do with the rich inheritance that we share in with Jesus Christ as co-heirs (see Romans 8:17; Ephesians 1:7, 11). We need to spend much more time confessing, not our sins, but who we are in Christ according to the teachings of the apostles. "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23). We must not allow our past but rather our new Christ identity and our DESTINY to define us! We are sons and daughters of a great King and His Blood is flowing in our veins. Unless we enter into our eternal identities, we will not become instruments for noble purposes. We will not enter into a holiness from Heaven. We will not be useful to God. WE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM Our outlook on life is changed as we contemplate: "And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power." (Colossians 2:10) "You are complete," which means we lack nothing at all, in our oneness in Him (John 17:21). Abiding in Christ and allowing Him to flow freely out of us enables us to function with the greatest degree of success, thus making us available to implement our Christ calling, bearing fruit that remains for God's Kingdom. Luke 6:7-8 "And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. 8But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth." Jesus says “rise up”. Rise up is the root word for RESURRECTION. We need to get up higher than our current perception. We need to come to a place where we are looking at things from a more inspired viewpoint. Resurrection is a life on a brand new dimension. It does not matter what my current reality is. It simply becomes the occasion for God’s power to be manifested in the midst of impossibility. Jesus tells me to rise up! We hear His voice and the promises He gives us in the scriptures. Ephesians 5:14-17 -- "Wake up, sleeper, and rise from the dead! And Christ will shine on you. So pay close attention to how you live. Don't live like ignorant men, but like wise men. Make the most of the time….try to find out what the Lord wants you to do." Our heavenly Father will respond and answer us as we seek to move from hopelessness to hope. We don't deny the problems of our past, but we simply come to see how good and great He is and how great is our salvation! New avenues of intimacy with the Trinity will open to us as we access the ascended life in Christ, abandoning the self-life in favor of self sacrifice for discipling the spiritual lives of others. A BRAND NEW THING Isaiah 43:19 - "Nothing compares to what I'm going to do with you says the Lord! Behold, I am going to do a brand new thing with you personally. See, I've already begun to do it. Don't you see it?" In the land of New Beginnings, we must remove the masks and veils that have formed in the past season so we can now form our “true” vision for the future. Isaiah 41:15 ("Behold, I will make you to be a new, sharp, threshing instrument which has teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shall make the hills like chaff.") has become a keyword for us. There is authority and dominion for us in the invisible world. This will allow us to display the wisdom of God to the powers and principalities that have blocked you in past seasons. Jeremiah 15:19 - "If you return, then I will restore you - Before Me you will stand; and if you extract the precious from the worthless, you will become My spokesman." In 2025 as we allow the Holy Spirit to move through us, we will be constantly searching for those whose lives are formless and void. We will become a bridge for them into the glorious, creative purposes of God. OUR INDIVIDUAL DESTINY Our unique inheritance in Christ includes many facets, such as our individual DESTINES, or that which God is longing to accomplish through each life for His glory. God offers us supernatural ability and power to fulfill our DESTINIES and His plans for us with limitless resources. "Before you were born, I set you apart for a special work," says the Lord. - Jeremiah 1:5 We must constantly ask, knock, and seek to understand our Christ calling and carry out what God wants us to bring forth in His Kingdom. (Matthew 7:7) We are called to succeed in advancing the Kingdom of God on earth -- to walk in overcoming victory: "…because as He is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17). The awe of God is returning to believers (to fulfill God's PURPOSE for their life), filling their hearts with great expectation (Isaiah 64:1). Expect to behold great and mighty things to be accomplished (Jeremiah 33:3) so that the Great Commission can usher in the Kingdom of God to displace the Kingdom of darkness. Matthew 7:8 -- "For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened."

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 healing is always God's will for you. Another tradition we hear is that healing has passed away. That there are no miracles today. But the Word of God proves that's not true, In Exodus 15:26, God says, "I am the Lord that healeth thee." He also tells us that He does not change (Malachi 3:6). For healing to pass away, God would have to pass away. 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 do. If He prompts you to say or do something -- say or do it. In our Christian walk we are here to manifest Jesus Christ, with whom nothing is impossible! So when you are led to talk to someone, watch what Jesus does. When you pray for your child, watch what Jesus does. When you Confess God's Word into your situation, watch what Jesus does! Keep your eyes on Jesus, with whom nothing is impossible!
