FAITH's Blog (1,233)

If you are willing He takes you to a place to reposition you – to open your mind and open your eyes and open your ears and open your understanding; to take you out of the land of snare, and traps. He fills the graves of broken dreams, broken promises, broken relationships -- those who have been violated in their mind, their bodies, and their spirit; to where they have felt shame, humiliation; to where they have had the pain of others for their grave…

One of the dimensions of living the way of Christ, besides living a life of love, forgiveness, and service is embracing the spirituality of DOWNWARD MOBILITY. This is a willingness to modify our career, change our location, or whatever other sacrifices we are called to make, for the sake of following Christ's purpose for our life (our destiny).

Jesus came so that His Blood may cover all our sins. His grace and mercy…

Matthew 5:1,2 - "...and when He was set, his DISCIPLES came unto him: And He opened his mouth and TAUGHT them...."

As much as we love, thank God for, and honor the ministries of the saints of the past, we need to reach for the MINISTRY of Jesus in His BODY in the here and now -- in the fullness of redemptive character…

God wants to resurrect things that have died in us. We may think that our window of occasion is past the time that anything good can happen, but remember we serve the God of the resurrection.

"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life....." - John 11:25…

Unless we enter into our eternal identities, we will not become instruments for noble purposes. We will not enter into a holiness from Heaven. We will not be useful to God.

"We are workers together with God." - 2 Corinthians 6:1

If we truly follow Jesus, He follows us. When and where the apostles moved, God moved also. Natural effort…

Are you tired of shallow-water Christianity, and you want the deep things of God  --  the strong food that is mentioned in scripture? Are you ready for the deep, deep things of God?

It is so clear that we are not going to attain to those deep things, nor those deep places within us, by reasoning or by surface prayer.

The…

The apostle Paul lived in the green-light district of the Gospel. He didn't need signs in the heavens to convince Him to obey the Scriptures. When Jesus said, "Go!" that was enough.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them....." -…

The deadness and feebleness of the saints today is largely due to their receiving and following the truth with their minds. This is nothing but the law. In spite of the exactness of the letter, it is absolutely not of the Holy Spirit.

 Our understanding deals with conceptions and images of divine things, but it cannot reach the real life of the inner spirit. He fills only the…

Each of us has a cup to drink in route to our DESTINY. We will swallow the full dregs, and though it kills us, we shall live.  Yet it shall not be us, but Christ living in us.

God takes things to another level as we press through into a new place in Him.  Transitions are healthy and good for us.  When we allow ourselves to be stretched into a new place, we will experience fresh joys on the other side. Get ready for…

 We fail to reach into God enough.  As Christians, we need to spend more time listening to God than anything else. When we do hear the Lord, creative power and life flow through His words.

 Determine in your heart that you want to reach the highest place in God -- learning how to live each day in pure, loving oneness with Him.  And once you…

Jesus came to earth knowing the sole purpose of the Father for His life. Every born-again believer has a purpose (calling) destined by God that is connected to advancing His Kingdom in the earth.

Much of the favor of God that you experience is tied to whether or not you are living your life pursuing that purpose.

If we never come to the place of realizing that why we are…

Psalm 145:4b, "and shall declare Your mighty acts."

It says in 2 Chronicles 16:9 that He looks to and fro to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal towards Him. What would it look like for God to show Himself strong on your behalf? Wouldn't you like to find out?

In Isaiah 52:10 it says,…

Numbers 2:9 -- "All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were.......These shall FIRST set forth."

 Throughout the Old Testament,  the Israelites conquered their foes with the ultimate weapon – praise and worship. We know this because of the recorded fact that – of the 12 tribes of Israel – the tribe of Judah was the one that…

Our work is not to make the gospel relevant to the world.  To change the world, we must be different from the world. We must challenge what people think.

"Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh.... if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." -- 2 Corinthians…

 "Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges...you will rejoice in the Lord, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 41:15,16

Are we ready to dive into the bottomless treasure chest of God for our lives?  When we awake spiritually hungry, the Lord is up to something in our life because He…

Ephesians 1:4 "For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight."

It is essential that every Believer comprehends that they have been chosen by God (through their receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior) and also that they have been chosen for a divinely inspired…

"For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in Heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches, He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of…

 Matthew 6:10 - "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

What world is more real to us?

Is it this present world or the eternal?

We live out of the kingdom we think most about – what our heart and mind are anchored in.…

"He who believes in Me the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" (John 14:12).

Are we walking with an earnest expectation of the miraculous?  Are we truly expecting to see the goodness of God manifested (birthed) on earth, or are we just hoping that it will be? Hope in God is good,…

Paul was not content to know he was going to inherit Heaven. He wanted to be a son of God and inherit the Kingdom on earth.

Philippians 3:12-14 - "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of…
