Ten Power Exhortations - May 14, 2018

"Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death..." - Philippians 3:8-10


This is not the fellowship of our sufferings, but our fellowship with Jesus in His sufferings. Examples of this are the sufferings of the Lord over lost humanity, and over our spiritual dullness or lack of spiritual desire. He has so much to give, and so few who are willing and sensitive enough to receive. He desires our fellowship and longs that we come to Him. He has a PURPOSE for each of our lives.
"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10


Jesus wore the crown of thorns on His head so that you can have a sound mind free from fears, guilt, depression, anxieties, and stress.

2 Corinthians 5:7 - "For we walk by faith, not by sight."

"SENSE KNOWLEDGE" IS THE ATTITUDE THAT SAYS, 'IF I CANNOT SEE IT, THEN IT IS NOT REAL. I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT." THIS MEANS THAT FAITH AND SENSE KNOWLEDGE ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE AND EVIDENCE OF THINGS THAT YOUR SENSE KNOWLEDGE CANNOT SEE.

It is all important that we know the glory of Jesus. He is the outshining of God's glory, and the express image of His substance.
The more the soul is filled with that glory, and worships Him in it, the more it will see with what confidence it can count upon Him to do a divine and supernatural work in us, lead us to our CALLING IN HIM, and lead us to an actual living fellowship with God as our Father.

Hebrews 1:3 - "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being."


Is there a paralyzing passivity in the Church today?
There is a paralyzing passivity so prevalent in the Church today. As prophetic voices, we must sound the alarm: these are not days of peace! We have no armistice with the workers of darkness! We must stir ourselves out of this stupor, as Scripture instructs us to do. We must rouse to reality and awake (Romans 13:11-14 AMP).

Any time we begin to entertain a lie that God has somehow forgotten or forsaken us, we are believing that He has abandoned the covenant, and deceit enters in.


"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."—2 Corinthians 10:4-5


We must take a stand and refuse to believe the enemy about who we are and what the outcome of our lives will be. Did Jesus not say "I have come that you may have not only eternal life but life abundant"? Those who enter into the abundant life are not those who have been "specifically chosen" but those who simply trust God and BELIEVE.

To "plead the Blood" with faith of all that Christ did on our behalf will release the demonstration and power of God!

Noah, upon coming out of the ark after the Flood, made a sacrifice to God immediately upon stepping onto the land.
This is symbolic of our going to baptize our Promised Land (our DESTINY in Christ) by recalling what Jesus accomplished at the Cross In other words, when we recognize what Christ did and that we are righteous due to His Blood, it empowers us to take our Promised Land!

When we believe the "Glory of the Lord" is His finished work we can say -- "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord." - 2 Corinthians 3:18

Let us rise up and declare the power that is in the Blood! And, know that TODAY is our day that God will provide for our every need!


As the Body of Christ we actually become the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in the earth, and we also become His mouth. God speaks prophetically through His people.
"If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God." - 1 Peter 4:11 NIV
"...the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you..." Romans 8:11 AMP.
We speak as God's earthly representatives. By releasing the voice of the Lord through the power of the spoken word, we can decree a thing and it will come to pass. It will happen. And it's all done by speaking words of faith.
"You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God's favor] shall shine upon your ways." - Job 22:28 AMP


Spiritual discontentment is the nature of a truly Holy Spirit-governed life. It will always be pressing on to something more of the Lord.


The gospel doctrine of the Cross, that is, of dying to self is the only way to life in God. Therefore, man's morality can only help him to hypocritically conceal his own inward evil and act as if he were not under its power.

"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." - Colossians 3:2,3

Just as Israel had to confront a wilderness that was the exact opposite of the land of milk and honey they had been promised, I too must do also.
Fear is faith in satan, believing in his ability to hurt me.

John 8:39 - "They answered and said to Him, 'Abraham is our father.' Jesus said to them, 'If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.'"Abraham was an alien and a stranger on the earth. The goal of his life was to have a place in what God…Continue
