<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."</strong></em> For the "substance"; we must look on Jesus. It is the most blessed object that the eye of the mind can possibly fix upon; of all the objects under heaven Jesus has the pre-eminence in perfection, and he should have the pre-eminence in our meditation. It is He that makes us most happy since we possess Him, and we cannot but be joyful to…</span></p>

It is the most blessed object that the eye of the mind can possibly fix upon; of all the objects under heaven Jesus has the pre-eminence in perfection, and he should have the pre-eminence in our meditation. It is He that makes us most happy since we possess Him, and we cannot but be joyful to look upon Him, for the name signifies Savior. <em><strong>"He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 7:25)</strong></em></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>MEDITATION:</strong></span><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Many believers live with the concept that God will lead them when it's time for them to do something. And so they wait, sometimes for an entire lifetime, without any significant impact on the world around them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>"GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and then TEACH THESE NEW DISCIPLES........."- Matthew 28:19,20</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Jesus said to the Father, <em><strong>“As You sent Me, Father, send them!” (John 20:21).</strong></em> God will empower you, just as He did Jesus, in your Christ calling, to walk out the fullness of your DESTINY, with that same boundless anointing of the Holy Spirit!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Jesus said to Peter -- <em><strong>"Feed My sheep."</strong> </em>You have to be the nourishment for other souls until they learn to feed on God. We owe it to God to bear fruit for His kingdom by equipping His sheep with and understanding of their Christ identity (discipleship).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>AFFIRMATIONS:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>I arise and shine for my Light has come.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>He has raised me up with Jesus and seated me in heavenly places. He has given me His name. His Blood, His Authority. His Power. His Spirit.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>I have the power to labor for the spiritual lives of others.</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Are our eyes toward Jesus in our prayers, praises, public, and private duties? Is there an effectual impression on the heart. Are we walking in His purpose for our life -- ie. have we picked up our cross and are following Him? Do we intercede for those who are not yet believers? Is the love of Christ flowing through us into others?</span></p>

Are we walking in His purpose for our life -- ie. have we picked up our cross and are following Him? Do we intercede for those who are not yet believers?

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">MEDITATION:</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When you discover who you are in Christ, you begin to measure your life and ministry by Jesus' model. You begin to want what He wants for the same reason He wants it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">One religious mindset that many Christians can be guilty of -- we are trying to change our old nature (old man) and improve ourselves. We fail to realize that Jesus never came to do that. Jesus crucified the old man so that by faith, we can walk in the new man who is already created in righteousness and holiness.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." - Galatians 2:20</em></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Plead God's relationship to us. We are God's children, and we have the right to appeal to Him on that basis.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>AFFIRMATIONS:</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Jesus calls me to a higher love, to embrace the burning and passionate heart of God.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>I am renewed in the spirit of my mind: and I put on the new man, which after God has created in righteousness and true holiness.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Since God rules in my heart and Jesus is Lord of my life, walking in my Christ identity gives me control over the things coming against me.</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Oh! If we could keep the taste of our souls continually delighted with the sweetness of heaven, as a man would spirt out bitter herbs after honey, so should we spit out all the decoys of the world with disdain.</span></p>

<p><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Cry mightily unto God, that He would <strong><em>"Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity," (Psalm 119:37).</em></strong> If the heart bends downward, then go the God to erect it, and to incline it heavenwards; if it be after covetousness, then cry to God, and say, "Lord, not after covetousness, but after Your testimonies incline my heart."</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong> MEDITATION</strong></span></p>
<p><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"Rule in the midst of your enemies" - Psalm 110:2</em></strong></span></p>
<p><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Lord has provided us with powerful tools to accomplish our assignment and legislate the heavens with the ability to call forth what is not as though it were. He has given us the power of the Blood, the power of His name, the power of His Word, the power of decree, the power of the Holy Spirit to bring it to pass, and angel armies assigned to God's Kingdom purposes! He has given us everything needed to rule and reign, to take and to hold ground!</span></p>
<p><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Circumstances may seem to be holding you back, or life situations and finances, but obedience to take your place in God's <strong>PURPOSE for your life</strong> unlocks your DESTINY and positions you for favor. It's a favor that opens the necessary doors for you to accomplish your assignment.</span></p>
<p><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><strong>"Of the increase of His Government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." - Isaiah 9:7</strong></em></span></p>
<p><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Choosing to set yourself firmly in the place where God has called you unlocks spiritual principles that result in increase. The best days of the Church are upon us and it's a time to embrace our divine destiny. God is good and He is faithful! Let us wake up and be successful in fulfilling all He has planned! This is the hour of the fulfillment of His promises of glory and light! The people of God are beginning to <strong>"arise and shine" for our light has come!</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Go to your meditations of Heaven, and keep there a while.

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong> MEDITATION:</strong></span></p>
<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Good things began to happen to David almost immediately because he started looking at his world through eyes of blessing rather than eyes of failure. Even as he overcame the lion and the bear, he knew he could overcome giants. And just as he took authority and overcame everything that threatened his ascent to the throne, you must take authority and overcome everything that threatens your ascent into your DESTINY.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">God changed the way Abraham talked so that he called forth what God saw him as already blessed with <strong>(Genesis 17:5).</strong></span></p>
<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Despite the pain, call forth your healing.</span></p>
<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Change the way you talk.</span></p>
<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">See the way God meant it to be, and start calling forth your healing and wholeness!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>MEDITATION:</strong></span></p>
<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Regardless of what kind of prison you are in or what problem threatens to defeat you, if you want God to come into your cell, you must resist the temptation to grumble, murmur, and complain. You have to make the decision to praise Him instead.</span></p>

<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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 thinking patterns that we are still embracing.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Christ is never precious in man's apprehension, so long as the world seems glorious to him. As we begin to relish sweetness in Christ, so the world begins to be bitter to us. <strong>(1 John 1:2)</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>MEDITATION:</strong></span></p>
<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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 - for the rich oil of His anointing.</span></p>
<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em><strong>John 11:25 - "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life....."</strong></em> - 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 happen, but remember we serve the God of the resurrection.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Consider the difference between Christ and all other things -- as thus, all other things are vanities, but Christ is a real, solid substantial, glorious thing; all other things are temporary, fading things, but Christ is an enduring substance. All other things are thorns, vexations of spirit, but Christ is full of joy and comfort, a most ravishing object, all composed of loves, or altogether lovely.

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Consider the difference between Christ and all other things -- as thus, all other things are vanities, but Christ is a real, solid substantial, glorious thing; all other things are temporary, fading things, but Christ is an enduring substance. All other things are thorns, vexations of spirit, but Christ is full of joy and comfort, a most ravishing object, all composed of loves, or altogether lovely. Who would make it his business to fill his coffers with pebbles, when he may have pearls, or gold, or silver or precious things? (<strong>Revelation 1:4)</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>MEDITATION:</strong></span></span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><strong>"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;" - Romans 8:17</strong></em></span></p>
<p><br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">We need boldness to act on God's Word. We need boldness to act on what the Spirit of God may say to us.</span></p>
<p><br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">The believer has covenant rights in prayer, as well as other covenant rights. The problem that defeats believers in their prayer life is the feeling of inferiority -- a sense of sin-consciousness. Some Christians begin their prayers with, "I'm so weak and unworthy," and then harp on their weaknesses and unworthiness throughout the prayer.</span></p>
<p><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><strong>"I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." - Isaiah 43:25</strong></em></span><br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">We are sons and daughters of God, joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. We are covenant people, and as covenant people we have a legal right -- a Body of Christ right -- to go into the Presence of God the Father with the same confidence and assurance that Jesus has. And we can do it boldly!</span></p>
