ATTITUDES OF THE SIN CONSCIOUSNESS

Which of the following "Attitudes Of The Sin Consciousness" are adversely affecting your spiritual growth and development:

1. When I stand before God sometimes I have a sense of inferiority, guilt, or…

2 Corinthians 4:4 - "Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God." NLT 

If you have been interceding for your brother there is nothing wrong with him except the devil!  No human being who truly…

Romans 10:10  -  "For with the heart man beleiveth unto righteousness......."

 Romans 5:17  -  "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one;  much more they which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ."…

We are in a season of divine transition. As we begin to transition in the natural, there is a transition taking place in the spirit. We're being transitioned to a season of fulfillment of prophetic promises. God is stirring up our faith as we grab hold of His Kingdom reality of our advancing His Kingdom throughout the earthl and make it conform to the attainment of His promises.

We are at the door of transition to…

The reasons for delay in your life are actually choices you have total control over?

Reason #1 – Pursuing the Promise Instead of God

If you have been in a pattern of delay for weeks, months, or even years, ask yourself, "Have I been chasing something that is related to God's purpose for my life?"

For…

1 Corinthians 3:9 - "For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building."

Man was made in the likeness and image of God (Genesis 1:26) with the purpose to create with God. Our Father doesn't need us but He desires to partner with His family. Man was created to work in union with God. We are co-laborers as it says in 1 Corinthians…

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7)

What you're going through right now is getting you ready for what's about to happen to you next in 2024! In fact, your 'next' is your 'now.' This is your season to be creative. You will design things that are not from you, but from Him. Strategies are downloaded from Heaven and uploaded to you…

"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Me" (John 12:32).

 Another way we can look at His words is this:

"If I be lifted up, magnified, and exalted to a place of consciousness in your heart, I will draw all men unto Me."

The convictions…

"...So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing..."

The emphasis of this verse is that God is speaking His thoughts to us. The verse before says, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts…

Revelation 19:14 - "And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses."

In this passage a wonderful picture is painted of the armies of Heaven following Christ into battle.  These armies have been washed in the Blood of the lamb. These are the souls of the departed saints that are going to return with Christ when He invades this…

Luke 9:54 - "When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"

Jesus healed all who came to Him -- no exceptions. He also healed all the Father directed Him to heal. Setting another standard than what Jesus gave us is unacceptable.

GOD IS ALWAYS…

Concerning transition, what happens to you is not as important as how you respond to what happens to you.

Are you going to keep moving forward, or are you going to let your fear of the unknown hold you back?

Are you going to make excuses for yourself or are you going to press through the emotional storms until you reach the other side?…

"Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, 'Look now, the place where we live near you is too small for us. Please let us go to the Jordan [River] and let each man take from there a beam [for the building]; and let us make a place there for ourselves where we may live.' And he answered, 'Go.' Then one said, 'Please be willing to go with your servants.' So he answered, 'I shall go.' So he went with them; and when they…

"Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you" (Ephesians 5:14).

Just because we walk and talk does not mean we are truly awake. Zechariah was not sleeping when an angel roused him "as a man who is awakened from his sleep" (Zechariah 4:1).

Perhaps we too need to be shaken from our…

 John 15:5, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”

The Lord Jesus gives us this divine union by the Spirit so that we can bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom. All the vine has is made available to the branches -- to give us what we need to be fruitful. The…

John 14:30  -  ".......for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me."

      Pauperhood is relegated to the children of a lesser god.  It is the condition of slaves who have yet to discover their freedom on the other side of the river of baptism and find themselves still captured by the dark prince of torture and torment.  He is the one who assigns them to a life of poverty,…

 Many think righteousness equates to following the law, but this is a religious mindset. Living under the Law leads to death. If you live by the Law, the Law will require righteousness from you that you are unable to fulfill on your own, putting you in a position where you will be judged by that Law, and the Law is an unforgiving judge. But the good news is that Jesus came so that you may have life and life more…

Gideon was "clothed" (mantled) with God Himself. If you recall Gideon's story, it was difficult for him to see himself as God saw him. 

Gideon was fearful and hiding from the Midianites.  Yet God referred to him as a "mighty man of valor."

God saw Gideon's potential – just as He sees ours --  "He sees us completed!"…

Hebrews 11:1  -  "Now faith is the substance fo things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

The verse does not say that faith is the evidence of things that do not exist. God says what He has promised is already a reality.  Yet it won’t become a manifested reality in my life until I believe it is real before I see it – through fully…

Hebrews 4:14 -- "Having, then, a great High Priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession."

A GREAT HIGH PRIEST, JESUS THE SON OF GOD

The name JESUS speaks of His humanity, and of His work as a Savior from sin.  This is is the…
