God, The Sovereign

The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord GOD, You know.”  (E 37:1-3)
  Have you ever felt like this ? Do not give up !
This goes along with ( Those who have EARS let Him Hear) . Stay Close to Jesus Christ in All Your Ways !
What I'm seeing in the Spirit is a Lot of your Father God saying Come you sleepers Wake Up ! I also See people just going to church just because they have too! because of their Mothers & Fathers bring them ! The Lord says Keep Praying & Believing, And a soft word spoken will change the Heart !
God’s Word, spoken
in obedience, has power to change conditions and circumstances. For our part, we see and know according to faith so that the one speaking speaks according to faith. Others, unresponsive to the Lord and unable or unwilling to hear Him, may not see or hear a thing!

The hand of the Lord came upon Ezekiel and he obeyed – he prophesied as commanded to the dry, dead bones in the valley. What followed produced major changes where the lifeless bones had lain because the Lord's instruction to Ezekiel was the power necessary to change deadness to life. Ezekiel obedience was critical:
Then you shall know that I am the Lord!( The Lord said if you have a feeling you do not know what it is Call out too Him and He will show you and set you Free!)


Remember You are His ! Believe By your Faith Ask !
God is Sovereign in the affairs of men. At times, His involvement can’t be explained apart from a direct, undeserved, divine and merciful extension of His hand; at other times, He joins His power with mankind’s in partnership with His creation, working together to produce reward and outcomes He intends. In both, He is the Sovereign moving according to faith—according to His faith toward man, according to man’s faith
in Him.
Amen.

Unshaken

God’s Kingdom is not shaking.

Today we progressively receive—we
are receiving—an unshakable Kingdom, inviting the Lord into every detail: Lord, I pray Your unshakable Kingdom come; [so that] Your will is done . . .on earth in the same way it is done in heaven.

The Kingdom is the container—the setting, mindset and strategy, the prayer, and the
intellect
for an inheritance we
are receiving. This Kingdom inheritance is reserved for us in heaven and brought into our today right here on earth as we pray: Thy [unshakable, incorruptible, undefiled and clear-as-a-picture] Kingdom, COME!
 
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
God Bless !
Amen.

We are God’s Workmanship

 

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)

Well before the blood shed by His Son, God knew His children and their ways. By the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His children were recreated and renewed in the promises of the Father. As new creations, we are commanded to live in such a way as to bring glory and honor to the Almighty God. May we live in such a way that is worthy of the tremendous sacrifice of Christ as the power of God works through us.
And to DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Romans 10:4

 

4 For Christ is the END of the Law [the limit at which it ceases to be, for the Law l_e_a_d_s up to HIM Who is the fulfillment of its types, and in HIM the purpose is fulfilled. That is, the purpose of the LAW is FULFILLED in Him] as the means of righteousness (right relationship to God) for e-v-e-r-y-one who trusts in, adheres to and relies on HIM."

Thoughts

HappyThoughts-300x299Thoughts enter the subconscious part of the mind and are established without our realizing they are there! Hundreds of thoughts pass thru the mind and become foundational to something we will eventually believe or trust in—something that would shock us to even consider, much less believe or trust in, if only we knew. The process occurs subliminally . . . that is, “it operates below the threshold of conscious perception, inadequate to produce conscious awareness but able to evoke a response.”

This function of the human mind explains why meditation in Scripture each day is important: In the same way that a spot light is useful to search for hidden objects, words of Scripture operate like the light like miners looking for precious stones an searching for a lost object. Like that instrument the Word of God searches our thought life to bring attention to wrong thinking that would otherwise remain hidden.

The entrance of God’s Word brings light to our mind and heart, causing unbelief and doubt to be exposed. Unbelief is the category for misguided thoughts; doubt gives formation to unbelief and together, unbelief and doubt produce thoughts that question the Lord – His Word, His ways and most of all, His unquestionable love. The cumulative effect of renegade thoughts and the belief systems they create is, first, a clutter of confusion that muddies discernment, and subsequently, the heart is drawn away from confident trust in God.

Difficult times have the potential to overwhelm us if a deaf ear is turned away from this truth. However, if applied, so that confidence in both the Lord and His Word develop mature, strong faith, we are then strengthened to rise above unbelief and doubts that question God’s love and complete protection for us. “For the word of God is living and active , sharper than any double - edged sword , it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit , joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart . Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.” Everything is uncovered and lay bare before the eyes of God, to whom we must give account.

Amen.

Possessing the Redeemer's Mind

mind of GodI want to share this with you, Ephesians 4: 24 . To put on the New Man ! When you ask Jesus in your Heart, He is in you!
If you read on to the end of Ch. 4 , you will see that now we have to know that you are no longer a sinner, inside you , but we have to Learn how to walk , talk , and act , the Old Man has to be retrained (Colossians 6: 8, here He tells us, now you yourselves are to put off all these things and V.3: 10)


   Here is where you can see that the mind needs to be renewed,
now that Jesus is living in “YOU” the Sin is gone! Because the word of God tells us that Christ & the Devil can not live in you because Jesus is in there! So that’s why He tells us we have to retrain all that we have walked in before we came to Christ to take Over our Hearts.


      So this, is how we live, and let Jesus. The Holy Spirit does it’s work (Remember We are Learning how to walk in Him, and are we going to make mistakes “YES”). But just know this, He wants us to Win these Battles , and he helps us. So do not allow your self to be a sinner. Just get in the Word and believe God will bring you through!

As Christians, we spend too much time battling basic, elementary battles: "Am I truly saved?" "Am I really forgiven?”

The fact is, God has so much more for us. He seeks to conform our thought-life to the actual thought-life of Christ.

Indeed, the Holy Spirit comes, not just to give us goose bumps and chills, but to restructure our attitudes and perceptions until we think the thoughts of Jesus.

Consider Paul's remarkable insights. He wrote,

"But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ" (1 Cor. 2:14-16). (We Value the word of God).

This revelation is stunning: we have the mind of Christ. God wants us to have Christ's very discernment.

Or consider again what Paul wrote to the Galatians. He said, "My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you" (Gal 4:19).

Critics will call the revelation of Christ in us a heresy, as though all we were to have was the name, but not the nature of Jesus Christ.

You see, God's goal is not only to see us saved and go to Heaven, but for Christ to be functionally formed and living through us on earth. We are not just to have a religion about what Jesus did; we are called to possess the very substance of who Jesus is.

Yes, it means we indeed will go to Heaven, but it is more. Through our knowledge of Christ's word and the Holy Spirit, the actual person of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, gains living access to the needs of man. As His body, we give Him flesh and blood contact with this world. True, we face conflicts, but these difficulties are staged by God so He can showcase His Son through us. Indeed, we face persecution, but it's only so Christ, in the midst of injustice, will reveal how His life overcomes death.

Again, Paul wrote,

"For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh" (2 Cor. 4:11).

Isn't this exactly what you desire, the "life of Jesus . . . manifested in [your] mortal flesh"? Aren't you tired of the cycle of judging people and then, because of pride, being judged by God in return?

What does it mean to have the mind of Christ? Does that mean we walk on the water or do great signs? Miracles are indeed a part of Christ's life, yet there is something greater than miracles to attain: Our hearts can be filled with the redemptive, creative thought-life of God!(1 Cor.2: 4 , 5 ) And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (5.) That your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Lord, deliver us of our fleshly motives! Free us from our human instincts and fallen passions. Grant us, Lord, the motives of Jesus. Teach us to think, not as a prosecutor whose quest is to condemn, but as the Savior whose heart is to redeem.

Galatians 5:4 (NIV)

 

If 'WE' are trying to be justified by the LAW,

WE then, are alienated from Christ & we have fallen from GRACE!
