Taking Possession Of your Inheritance, Taking Authority By Divine Command

Image
Are you possessing your land/ taking territory God wants you to take authority over your area of influence and effect change there. Matthew 28:28 Jesus tells us that all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Him, and He in turn sends us in His place, with that same authority. Just as Joshua took over when Moses died, and He believed God completely that God would be with Him and protect the Israelites, WE have to step up and stand in Jesus’ place on the earth, believing with all of our hearts that God will never blink, never sleep, never sneeze or in any way fail to do whatever we ask in Jesus’ name for the kingdom. Look at what God promised Joshua"Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Everyplace that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses." Joshua 1:2-3. When Israel ...

"The Battle Is The Lord's"

God wants us to stand still and see Jesus our salvation fight for us.... As God led the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery, He brought them to a tight spot. As the powerful army of Egypt approached from the rear, the Israelites saw the Red Sea in front of them and mountains to the sides. They saw no way out! But God is not limited by seemingly impossible situations. He obviously knew what He was going to do. Moses may not have known exactly what God had in mind, but He believed what God said and faithfully passed on God’s encouraging message. When God is on our side, we do not need to fear or fret. God intended to fight their battles for them. They did not need to fight against the well-armed Egyptian army, which was possibly the greatest army on earth at the time. It was Israel’s own faithlessness that later led to God letting them fight their own battles. When God opened up the Red Sea in front of them, Moses’ message and faith prodded them to step forward in faith. G...

“Rivers of living water will flow out of your innermost man”

Here’s the condition, though. He said,  “This will only happen if you believe on Me in the way the Scripture says” .  Rivers will flow. You could call it a flowing river; you could call it a fiery heart or a fiery flame; it’s the same thing. Whether it’s a flowing river on the inside, as in John 7:38, or rivers flowing in the innermost man, or fire burning on the heart, it’s an identical concept. •    Jesus said in John 7:38,  “Rivers will flow.”  I’m paraphrasing, but there’s a condition. People don’t read the condition, and the condition is this:  “If you believe on Me in the way the Scriptures describe believing on Me.” •    If you go through the New Testament looking for it, you find the biblical definition of believing is believing that incorporates a spirit of dedication, a spirit of devotion, and a spirit of grace. •    I’ve found that many, many people approach the Word with two of the three. You h...

Holy Spirit: The muscle of God

The Spirit Helps Us in Our Weakness But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.  Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.  And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:25–27   Paul is saying … that our failure to know God’s will and consequent inability to petition God specifically and assuredly is met by God’s Spirit, who himself expresses to God those intercessory petitions that perfectly match the will of God. When we do not know what to pray for—yes, even when we pray for things that are not best for us—we need not despair, for we can depend on the Spirit’s ministry of perfect intercession “on our behalf.” In this particular season of my life i found i saw the power of the holy spirit moving ...

Why is serving God important?

Is it really necessary to serve God? What is the purpose of changing our priorities to accomplish tasks that God could honestly do better and more quickly without us?  Acts 10:34,35 - God is no respecter of persons. In every nation, those who fear Him and work righteousness are accepted by Him. Everyone can serve God successfully. This is not just for other people. It includes you and me. [2 Peter 3:9; 1 Tim. 2:4,6; Titus 2:11-14; Acts 2:38,39; Mark 16:15,16; Matt. 28:18-20; Rom. 1:16] Peter addresses the importance of serving God in  1 Peter 4:10-11 : “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.” Peter makes it clear that we ha...

waiting on the LORD

What seems like a delay in life could just be a divine appointment waiting to happen. Wait on it... Just because you can't see what God is doing, it doesn't mean that He isn't working. Habakkuk 2:3 says, "The vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end-it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay." What seems like a delay in life could just be a divine appointment waiting to happen. We get so caught up in what we don't have or what isn't happening that we obsess over it. God is still working things for your good and for His glory. That job, wait on it. That relationship, wait on it. Whatever it is, wait on it. Bank On God In Habakkuk chapter two, Habakkuk is concerned about everything that is happening around him. There is evil running wild, and he wants justice. He wants answers. God gives Habakkuk a vision detailing His answer to Habkkuk's concerns and complaints, but be...

He who promised is faithful

My family and I have been going through some very trying times in recent months, and many of the people who care about us often ask us how we're coping. For a long time, I wasn't paying much attention to how I was answering them. Then one day, it dawned on me that I was talking too much about my problems and the pain I was experiencing, and not enough about the faithfulness of God. I kept telling people how discouraged, bewildered, and confused I was, and instead of it making me feel better, it only made me feel worse. I had to ask myself, "Do you really believe all those things you are always writing and telling others about--or don't you?" When I realized that I did believe, I knew that I had to begin expressing my confidence in God's ability and willingness to deliver us from our troubles. As I began talking to others about the faithfulness of God, I began to sense a fresh sense of hope springing up on the inside of me, and I could finally see some light at...
