Ephesians 3:19 - “Be filled with all the fullness of God." 

 We want our whole being to be so full of the life of Jesus that the Holy Spirit can speak and act through us. We want the Word in our heart and the faith it produces. We want to live always in Him.

 We cry out for the inspiration of the God of power. We want to act in the Holy Spirit. We want to breathe out divine life. We want the glory, miracles, and wonders that work out the purpose of God for our life. 

We want to be absorbed by God, and we want to know nothing among men except Jesus and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2).

John 3:29,30 - “The bride belongs to the bridegroom….He must increase, but I must decrease.”  

His life is manifested power overflowing.  We must decrease if the life of God is to be manifested.  there is not room for two kinds of life in one body.  Death for life – that is the price to pay for the manifested power of God through us. 

As we die to selfish desire, there comes a fellowship within, perfected cooperation, you ceasing, God increasing. 

God in us is a living substance, a spiritual nature. You live by another life, the “faith of the Son of God” (Galatians 2:20).

Isaiah 60:1 - “Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.”  

The people of the world don’t have spiritual discernment.  they can only go by your physical appearance, behavior, and what happens to you.  In other words, if they notice something different about you, it is because they see the evidence of God’s glory on your life – in your family and work life, health and finances. 

When God’s glory rises upon you, your words carry weight, even if you are not eloquent. Mabe it is your hands. When you lay hands on the sick, they recover. Mabe it is your ability to give counsel that is spot-on, or your ability to speak into their future with a word of knowledge or word of wisdom from God. 

When you see this happening, it is because the people of the world are drawn to the glory of the Lord that has risen upon you!

Psalm 112:6-8 - “Surely he shall not be moved forever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.  His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies." 

 In any battle we face in life, first of all,  we must settle in our own hearts that the victory is ours and the battle is the Lord’s – we must rule out all possibilities of defeat.  

The only way we can get our heart firmly established is to affirm and meditate on God’s promises in scripture, seeing them with the eyes of our heart, dwelling on what He has said instead of what everyone around us is saying

Mark 16:17 - “And these signs shall follow them that believe;…" 

Because of the tense used with the Greek word for "believe”, this verse would be better translated “These signs shall follow them that are constantly believing…”  In other words, these signs don’t come automatically just because a person once walked aside and gave his heart to Jesus. These signs follow those who are constantly believing for them to occur. 

Like everything else in the Kingdom of God, signs and wonders are activated by faith. Ask the Holy Spirit to rekindle the flame in your heart to see the supernatural signature of God on your life or your ministry. For the miraculous to occur, He needs you to be constantly releasing your faith – for it is your faith that activates the supernatural!

Philippians 3:13,14 - “Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

Press into God by “adding to.” Add a few minutes more to your prayer time, Praise a few minutes more. Stretch yourself. Press through the limitations your flesh has tried to impose on you. See yourself turning from the past toward the future God has for you in Christ Jesus.

Settle in your spirit and in your mind what you need to do to advance in God’s PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE.  Now, see yourself rising up and marching toward those marks with faith in your heart as the Holy Spirit leads you and give you His strength to get there.

Isaiah 26:9 - “My soul yearns for you in the night.”  

What is the most worthwhile thing you can experience on earth? Nothing less than God Himself! What is the first and most important thing to be done each day?  It is nothing less than to seek, to know, to live, and to praise God. 

So begin every day of the year with the impassioned prayer of David:  “O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you…in a dry and weary land” (Psalm 63:1).  As you persevere in this, you will learn to expect the presence of God to surround you throughout the day. 

So be ablaze with His passion! And you will step into a new confidence this day. You will not be fooled by the voice of the intimidator, but you will rise up with more freedom and spontaneity than ever before. You will rise up "wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove"! (Matthew 10:16)

"And the God of peace will swiftly pound satan to a pulp under your feet! And the wonderful favor of our Lord Jesus will surround you." (Romans 16:20)

Revelation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me."

In order to embrace the love of God, invite Jesus in and commune with Him basking and soaking in His love until you become love. Now you have the God kind of love flowing from your spirt in to the lives of others.

•Ephesians 4:4-6: 4 There is one body and one Spirit; just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, (5) one Lord, one faith, one baptism, (6) one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. •Romans 6:3-8: 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united with him into a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For whoever had died is freed from sin.
