Elohim
Will Provide For Himself! |
|
|
| And
Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for
a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together. Genesis 22:8
(NKJV) Faith had taught Abram not to argue, but to obey.
He is sure that what God commands is good; that what he promises cannot
be broken. In matters of God, whoever consults with flesh and blood, will
never offer up his Isaac to God. Whatever is dearest to us upon earth
is our Isaac. And the only way for us to find comfort in an earthly thing
is to give it by faith into the hands of God. |

| “And
I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
Gen. 17:2 (NKJV) “Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God,
the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations
with those who love Him and keep His commandments:” Deut. 7:9 (NKJV)
The Bible is God’s covenant with man. It consists of the First Covenant
and a Second Covenant. Within it are nine major Covenants between God
and man. The Bible is the “Progressive Revelation” of the
purpose and plan of God. God introduces His way of doing things, His system
of operation in Gen. 15:1-17 What is stopping you from hearing what God
is saying to you and you believing and trusting that He will do what He
said He would do for you? |

| Love
Our Reasonable Service |
|
|
| I appeal
to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies
of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your
members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated)
and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent)
service and spiritual worship. Romans 12:1(AMPH) “To
love in a moral sense this is logical and reasonable worship.” When
the one who is the essence of love is not known or acknowledged in a real
sense in peoples lives, then there's no wonder the statistic's are what
they are when you look at teenage pregnancy, divorce, and the rise of
sexual related crimes. When the one who exemplifies love in all it's characteristics
and by definition is not present in our day to day lives and relationships
then the question of “what does love got to do with it,” will
always arise in the hearts and minds of those who are void in spiritual
relationship with God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. |

| Then
they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying.
And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that
You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of
the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that
You sent Me.” John 11:41-42 (NKJV) There was never
a prayer that Jesus prayed that was not answered. What was so unique about
Jesus when He prayed? What was so precious about Jesus? The secret of
His success was that He lived a life of prayer and did miracles in-between.
How often it is that we want the power and glory of God to manifest through
us, but this will not and cannot happen without a submitted life of prayer. |

| "Lord
if it's you tell me to come on the water" Mat. 14:28 What
is your water? Once we have identified the purpose of God and solidified
our relationship with Jesus. We need to find our water? Your water won’t
always be smoothed sailing, as a matter of fact usually your water will
be found amidst a sea of turmoil, trouble and problems. But like Peter
you’ll never know the joy of walking on water unless you get out
of the boat. What is your water? |

| "Will
a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, 'In what way have
we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings. (Mal 3:8 NKJV)
If you are robbing God in tithes and offerings, you are open to anything
the devil would want to bring upon you. Will a man rob Me? This is a rhetorical
question; a question that is asked merely for effect with no answer expected.
He is not saying can someone rob Me. He is actually making a statement
and telling you, that you are doing it. Tithing is not just about money.
It is about your relationship with God and entering into spiritual dimensions
that have nothing to do with money. |

assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground
and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.(John
12:24 NKJV) Life is in the grain of wheat, but there is
a shell, a very hard shell on the outside. As long as that shell is not
spilt open, the wheat cannot spread and grow "...unless the grain
of wheat falls into the ground and dies...” What is this death?
It is not total destruction of the grain; otherwise, there would be no
fruit. It is the cracking open of the shell. Once the shell is spilt,
open from the environment that it falls into, the wheat begins to grow
and take root. Therefore, the question is not whether there is life in
the grain, but whether the outside shell has been cracked open for the
release of life for the wheat. God is doing a braking within us. He desires
to place us upon the wheel in the Potter's house to reformat us and re-shape
us into what He needs in the earth for today |

| “Now
my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from
this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.
John 12:27 (NIV) “Just as the Son of Man did not come
to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:28 (NIV) The Kingdom of Heaven creates an alternative society,
which challenges conventional values. The principle of the Kingdom is
not how many people serve you (the world's way of thinking), but greatness
in the Kingdom is determined by how many people you served. And by the
quality of those you do serve |

|
| "I
must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this
purpose I have been sent." (Luke 4:43 NKJV) The Kingdom,
the eternal kingship or sovereignty of God; the spiritual realm over which
God reigns as King; the fulfillment on earth of God’s will in complete
perfection; a realm or region in which something is dominant. The Kingdom
of God is His rule of grace and authority in the world. It is a parallel
Kingdom, one being the kingdom of grace and the other the kingdom of glory |

Ecclesia (The Church) |
|
|
| ”…And
I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My
church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Matt.
16:18 (NKJV) The Greek word for church is ecclesia: this
word refers to a local congregation. The Virtual Church: A church without
walls is a local body of believers possessing power, being functional
and effective, but not formerly of a previous kind. A Church full of potential! |

| The
One Who Wills To Do Good |
|
|
| “…I
find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do
good”. Romans 7:21 (NKJV) What happens to the fire
and enthusiasm that is felt upon the initial experience at salvation?
It seems the more knowledge we acquire about God, the more we struggle
in keeping our salvation. There is a constant and sometimes daily fight
and struggle to do what we know is the right or the righteous thing to
do. We will to do good, but this evil is always present. |
| |
| What
Do You See? “Purpose” |
|
|
| “Where
there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish;
but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes man] - blessed (happy,
fortunate, and enviable is he.” Proverbs 29:18 (Amph.) Where there
is no vision, the people are unrestrained. Prov 29:18 (NASB) Is
your life empty and aimless yet busy, but not effective? Can this be said
of you: “I am harnessed to the treadmill of trivial, never having
responded to the challenge to leave the common place of mediocrity and
ascend to the higher dimension of fulfilled potentialities?” Our
life should be purposeful, effective, efficient and fulfilled. We are
the sum total of what we have learned from all who have taught us, both
great and small. Who am I? Why am I here? What is life all about? These
questions are among the oldest put forth by man. Many people live with
quiet frustration, dying daily plagued with an uneasiness that they are
or have missed it. |

| How
Long Will You Delay Between Two Opinions? |
|
|
| And
Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter
between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow
him.” But the people answered him not a word.1 Kings 18:21(NKJV)
“How long will you limp with a divided mind?” To falter is
to walk unsteadily, to give way. To waver is to vacillate between choices,
fluctuating in your opinion. Inactivity or a delayed decision is a decision,
you cannot get out of making decisions, and indecision is still a decision.

|
| But
you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own
special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you
out of darkness into His marvelous light; 1 Pet 2:9 (NKJV)
In order for God's people to advance the Kingdom of God, we must 100%
absolutely without any doubt in our hearts “know who we are and
know who we belong to.” For to long we have operated with an “absence
of identity.” Walking around with amnesia in regards to our “royal
position” in the Kingdom of God. We seem content with definition
by disassociation. In other words, everyone but the right one can define
who I am. We allow the miss-education system to dictate, usually at a
very young age who we will become. By not being directly linked with our
Heavenly Father, we move further and further away from our intended purpose
and destiny. If you are not sure, of who you are, then anything and everything
will look better than nothing. |

| Not
that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on,
that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold
of me. Philippians 3:12 (NKJV) On the other side of our
salvation, there where periods of times when we looked at our lives and
thought we really had it going on! With what seemed to be success, popularity,
and financial gain it was incomplete. At times, we look back on what we
had and who was in our lives and long for the days gone by. What the world
counts as gain, its system of acquiring wealth and promoting its own,
does not work in the Kingdom of God. Our faith leads us to count what
was once gain as loss. Through faith, our relationship with God is progressively
moving forward. What we gain in Christ is far more significant than what
you loss for Him |

| Therefore
it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise
might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but
also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us
all. Rom. 4:16 (NKJV) When you are a stranger to the covenant
of God, you have no earnest expectations, which is hope. You do not expect
anything because you do not know to expect anything. Hosea 4:6 You also
do not have God because God operates only through covenant. God cannot
and will not operate unless it is first preceded by a promise. There has
to be the word and then God moves and operates within that word. When
you find out the promise and place it before God then God moves. |

| Faith
Is Now! Now Faith Is! |
|
|
| Now
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen. (Hebrews 11:1 NKJV) By faith we understand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not
made of things which are visible.(Hebrews 11:3 NKJV) Faith
is believing that God will do what you know that He has promised He will
do. Faith is assurance, confirmation, conviction of reality. Faith is
perceiving as a real fact what has not been revealed to the senses. Faith
is the proof of things that we cannot see. Many of us limit our faith
to salvation; we only exercise our faith to the extent that Jesus has
saved us and that we may go to heaven. What is the obstacle or blockage
that prevents most of us from hearing the word of God? It is usually one
of two things. One of the two; is that many of us live in the place of
"what was." That is we do not live in the "now." Our
focus is so much on past failures or past victories we cannot and do not
hear what God is saying today, in the now. Too many of us allow the failures
of yesterday to make the decisions of today. Only through faith in the
all knowing including past failures, all forgiving including past failures
God the Father, can we release the failures of the past and move into
His purpose for our lives in the now |
