What a joy to witness more of you receiving your super-natural break through and the anointed presence of God in your life. We cannot encourage you enough to lay down your life and receive all that the Father has for your future and destiny. Never forget man can never do for you what only God can do. We must work daily at our LOVE walk and seek divine revelation of the LOVE the Father has for us, because it is out of that revelation we can forgive and love all people. Friends it is not an option, we are commanded to LOVE all men.
One of the names of our fellowship is FAITH. We all know by now that the gift of Faith which we all received when we met Jesus and became a new creature in Christ only works by LOVE. It doesn't matter what you are going through presently Gods power is greater then your circumstances. When we release our God given FAITH, God will make a way for Victory and will always deliver His redeemed children. GLORY TO GOD. Often it is not automatic but we always win the "Fight of Faith". We must feed our faith daily by confessing God's promises and having Faith in His LOVE for us. The gift of His faith always works and delivers what God said He would do. A few reminders to help us on our Faith journey;
1. We must have revelation of who God is and who we are as His child, a revelation of His love and trust it to never fail. 2. His power delivered us out of the kingdom of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of Light. We are new creations in Christ. 3. He is a faithful God who always honours His word, a God who never changes. 4. You walk daily in His Joy knowing that nothing in this world can defeat you. 5. We all need to be taught to walk in His super-natural Power and Might. After all it was God's power and might that created the earth and everything that is on and in the earth. 6. Having revelation knowledge that the POWER of GOD cannot and will not fail you is the knowledge we need to put our FAITH to work.
The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 2: 1-5. "And I, brethren when I came to you, came not with excellence of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I am determined not to know anything among you....save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling and my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom but in DEMONSTRATION of the SPIRIT and of POWER, that your FAITH should not stand in the wisdom of men but in the Power of God”. We must always put our Faith in God and His word and never in the Faith of a man or woman. Remember humans can fail us but God can never fail you. Circumstances must and will change when you put your Faith in the Power of God. Remembering God's power can never fail to deliver. Never take your focus off God's power, then doubt and unbelief will no longer be an issue. Man's wisdom is always limited to his knowledge and understanding but God's WISDOM is unlimited. The Holy Spirit can do more for you in 2 seconds than man's wisdom could do in a 1,000 years. The bible tells you and I that our Faith must never stand in the wisdom of man but in the POWER of GOD. God's power is ALMIGHTY and Faith is the key to having His power operating daily in our lives.
It is not enough to hear sermon after sermon or read faith books, we must BELIEVE and receive the WORD OF FAITH in our spirit. The Bible makes it clear that not to live by Faith is SIN. We cannot please God without Faith and without FAITH we can't receive anything from God. Don't forget it is not enough to have Faith, but you have to put your Faith in something, "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in the POWER OF GOD". [1.Cor 2:5]. Faith in the power of God can never fail. God is never late or early, but faith will deliver and come to pass in your life. It was God's power that created the universe and Nothing is impossible with God [Luke 1:37]. We read in Matt.21:22 if "If we can believe it, we can receive it." It’s our responsibility to believe God for it and its God' responsibility to provide it for us.
We can never allow UNFORGIVENESS or BITTERNESS to take root in our hearts and lives. If we do God is not able to supply and give us all the blessings and provisions He has for us. Remember God has never opposed your receiving His Blessings, nor can you blame the devil, religion, your patents and up-bringing, your boss your church or Pastor or your friends. It is YOU WHO HAS OPPOSED YOURSELF. Check your heart and life today. That is why some Christians have great anointing and power yet some manifest little or no victory at all in their life. Three main biblical principles to receive and walk in the light of God's promises and Word; 1. A Heart full of Love and thanks-giving. 2. Revelation and understanding of Faith and how it works. 3. Abiding in God's love and a life of Praise and Worship.
So today, submit yourself to the SUPERNATURAL LIFE of the Holy Ghost and believe and cry out to God that all the old nature of Rebellion and the old sinful life style be totally destroyed so we have a larger capacity to receive all that God has for us. He wants to give you the abundance that He has been desiring and wanting to give you. Seek God and ask today for the Holy Ghost to destroy and remove the following: 1. All Self-created strongholds. 2. Wrong mind sets. 3. Remove all our religious ideas and concepts as to what it is to be a Christian. Then and only then can the truth of God's word cause you to reign and rule over all circumstances that you find yourself in. Jesus knows that once we have received FORGIVENESS from Him and the gift of Eternal Life we move on in Victory. So believe God today to destroy and remove all your past, up-bringing, shattered family and personal relations, disappointments with employment etc, lack of money and joy in your walk. Until this has taken place we cannot live in God's abundance and potential. We must see ourselves as God sees us. Finally the problem is not God or His Word it is with US and our heart. Look at the following scriptures on UNFORGIVENESS: [Matthew 6:12,14-15] [Mark 11:25] Ephesians 4:32] [Colossians 3:13] [Proverbs 6:16]. Finally we are to forgive 70 times 7, that is at least 490 times. If we were to forgive someone every day 490 times it would take you 16 1/2 months to achieve, if we forgave them once a week it would take nearly 9 1/2 years. What is frightening is that during that period God cannot forgive you your weaknesses and sins. Friends we either do it God's way or we are defeated.
Monday and Wednesday night meetings at 7.30pm, 5. Lerwick Terrace, Lyall Bay. Saturday City Out-reach departs at mid-day for 5. Lerwick Terrace, Lyall Bay. Have an awesome week reigning and living in the Victory Jesus gained for you.
