We break out of the mold of past insecurities (our house built upon the sand), and an entering into the security of being seated with Jesus in His Throne, at the right hand of all power and authority (our house built upon a rock). Here He lifts us from our place of discouragement and vacillation into an overcoming victory in His presence. Get ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past.
Knowing that we are to seek first His Kingdom,
When you were born again you received your Christ identity and an unction to come to understand your Christ calling.
"you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will be My witnesses." - Acts 1:8
You now have the power to bear fruit for God's Kingdom as you disciple others into their Christ calling. You are becoming the world changer God has always intended you to be as the Believers you disciple advance His Kingdom by changing the lives of others to spr
"Seek God, all you quietly disciplined people who live by God's justice. Seek God's right ways..." (Zeph. 2:3, MSG)
Justice has always been on God's mind. A lifestyle of Biblical justice could be simply defined as living in accordance with God's standards and ways. When we live His "right ways," our hearts are opened to be stirred with intercession for His justice to come to pass for others.
A THREE-PRONGED MODEL: INTERCESSION, SACRIFICE, AND ACTION
Intercession (p
Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
The fire that the Lord placed inside you is being reignited, even as you are reading this!
At this time, doing what the Lord instructed you to do is paramount. When you do, you'll experience the turnaround and blessings you've been waiting for. You may have been running from your assignme
“Therefore, be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.” – Ephesians 5:15,16
The Holy Spirit desires you to live daily in the fullness of the Lord so that Jesus will receive glory and honor through His great power working in and through you. Jesus said to the Father, “As You sent Me, Father, send them!” (John 20:21). God will empower you, just as He did Jesus, to walk out the fullness of your Christ calling with tha
"Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision." - 1 Samuel 3:15
Be slow to ask another person's advice about anything God says to you. If you ask advice, you will almost always side with Satan if it is a matter you must decide on. "I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood." -- Galatians 1:16
Get into the habit of saying, "Speak, Lord," and life will become an adventure in excitement (1 Samuel 3:9). Every time circumstances press in on you, say "Speak,Lord," and make time to listen
"As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life's marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us." (Hebrews 12:1)
The enemy has tried to thwart and rob us this season by derailing many of us from our purpose through deep wounds of disappointment. These wounds have been so deep for many that i
Once God moves you to a new place, the old paths and ways simply don't work anymore! If you continue to try to go the same way as you always have, you will stub your toe! You will run into walls and possibly even dead ends.
God is saying today that He has moved you to a new place! You no longer reside where you used to in the spirit realm. You must seek Him for new ways to do things and new pathways to get to where He wants you to go. The old way, the old paths you used to trod – the comfor
"I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision" - Acts 26:19.
"God was pleased to reveal His Son IN ME so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles." - Galatians 1:15,16
Paul was devoted to a Person, not to a cause,He was absolutely Jesus Christ and the advancing of His Kingdom over the entire earth.
When we are born again we become one with Christ and come to understand our Christ identity so that, through our Christ calling, we might preach Him among the nations -- evangelizing --
"In those days I will pour out My Spirit even on My servants – men and women alike – and they will prophesy." (Acts 2:18 )
The Lord declares in Acts 2:18 that there is a very specific reason He pours out His Spirit on His people – so we will prophesy! God wants you speaking His truth in season and out of season like this, because the lost, hurting, broken, victimized, scared people of the world need to know there is an alternative to all that has failed and frustrated them.
"After many days, the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the earth. So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria." - 1 Kings 18:1-2
In 1 Kings Chapter 18 Elijah knew in his spirit that something was on the horizon. He sent his servant six times to the sea, but he saw nothing. Although on the seventh time he saw a small cloud on the horizon (see verses 41-44).
This
"So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water." - Exodus 15:22
For many of us, we have experienced a wilderness while fulfilling God's purpose for our life. We feel lonely, barren, and unfruitful. We have been so dry and thirsty that we find ourselves crying out to God in desperation. Our life is in disorder, and at times we are confused and irritated.
God has a
We are to be continually taking ground for the Kingdom of God as we position ourselves in our Christ calling. As we continually experience His person our eyes are opened to see from His heavenly perspective which shows us the importance of helping others with their spiritual lives.
If we choose not to heed the leading of the Spirit and become proactive in renewing our minds, it is possible that we will limit God's power and anointing from flowing through our lives because of un-renewed t
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." - John 1:14
When the Word became flesh, it didn’t just stop with Jesus. The Word is still becoming flesh as He tabernacles with you, living within your tent of flesh and blood and redeemed humanity in your Christ calling. You are His habitation, His dwelling place, and He has established His throne within the chambers of your heart, as a living
Are you tired of going around the same old mountain hoping to get to the top, but the obstacles hold you back? It is time to shake off the old and get ready for the new and for receiving the workings of Christ in you, for new beginnings - accessing the rich oil of His anointing.
John 11:25 - "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life....." God wants to resurrect things that have died in you. You may think that your window of occasion is past the time that anything good can
"I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" - Isaiah 5:8
As long as I dwell on my own qualities and traits and think about what I am suited for, I will never hear the call of God. The majority of Christians cannot hear anything but themselves -- and cannot hear anything God says.
Through an act of consecration we "ask, seek, and knock" (Matthew 7:7) until we come to understand our Christ calling and begin to seek His Kingdom First.
John 20: 21-22 "So Jesus said to them again, 'Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.' And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit.'"
Many believers are searching as if they lost their spiritual reception and they need a fresh breath from God.
Job 33:4 "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life."
In the New Testament the word “breath” is translated from the word "pneuma." In most Scr
"If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God … so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 4:11
The sound of Heaven is resonating in your heart. Your part is key to His unfolding plan to bring His Kingdom to earth. He has not planned only to bless you -- other people are waiting for their treasures that He has deposited in you. They are waiting for the anointi
"I will lay down my life for your sake.....the rooster will not crow till you have denied Me three times" - John 13:37,38
Natural devotion may be enough to attract us to Jesus, to make us feel His irresistible charm, but it will never make us disciples. Natural devotion will deny Jesus, always falling short of what it means to truly follow Him.
Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him, as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessin
"The vats will overflow with the new wine and oil. Then I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten." - Joel 2:24,25
Many are trapped in a great pit — the pit of despair, of sin, of compromise, of failure and hopelessness. The Great Shepherd extends His hand to pull OUT desperate souls, giving them a second chance and making all things NEW!
God desires to restore all that the locust has eaten in your life! He will give you double for your troubl
In some of the first and last mentions of God in Scripture, He is moving: "…and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters" (Genesis 1:2), and "…' Surely I am coming quickly'…" (Revelation 22:20).
Between the moving of the Spirit in Genesis and the coming of Jesus in Revelation, Romans 8:14 says, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God." You also want to be moving from glory to glory in your Christ calling through the leading o
God will use PRESSURE to perfect us as we come to know and understand His purpose for our life! He promises to even use the plans of the enemy and turn them around for our good! And, the more that we gain ground for His Kingdom the more we reveal God's glory.
GOD'S GLORY IN US
Everywhere we go, we see and experience God's glory. King David the psalmist wrote: "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands" (Psalm 19:1). Then also consider what t
Even now, the Holy Spirit is hovering over you. God is stirring your passion for Him. Angels are ready and waiting on your yes. Answer your calling in Christ today. While the cost is great, the reward is so much greater.
Give your heart completely to Him. A radical calling will require a radical path and radical faith, but it will result in radical vision, radical blessings, and radical fruit. Your Christ calling will produce radical Kingdom exploits that release God's plans and purposes o
TRANSITIONING INTO GLORY
Transition times are when the Lord redefines and makes adjustments necessary for us to move forward. He gives us new focus and direction. He teaches us about Himself in a new way.
If we are in a time of major transition it is easy to feel stressed or uncertain. This is a time to trust that God has your best interest at hand.(Isaiah 43:18,19)
We are bombarded daily with conflicting messages.
If you are experiencing a narrow place of
Father God births dreams within you, and you will know it is Him because He will continue to confirm His word. You will be filled with great joy, and the dream and vision will keep you awake at night dreaming of the endless possibilities.
For as you move with Him in obedience and boldness, you will see favor fall upon you in significant ways. What He has shown you, given you, and is calling you to spearhead and walk in HAS to be different, because He is doing something comple
