    Access Granted!




    In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. - Ephesians 3:12 KJV.

    We have boldness and access to God through what Jesus did on the Cross for us.  Through our faith in Jesus and what He did, we can come boldly to the throne of grace.  We can have confidence that God hears us when we pray and answers us.

    Worthy Of Our Praise




    I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. - Psalm 86:13 KJV

    God's mercy toward us is great.  He has delivered us from hell.  Instead of going to hell when we graduate from this life, we are going to Heaven.  That is something to praise God about.  We should praise Him every day for all that He has done for us.  Saving us, redeeming us, healing us, delivering us, providing for us, protecting us, keeping us alive.  He is so worthy of our praise.

    Hold Onto The Promises




    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).  

    But without faith, it is impossible to please Him... (Hebrews 11:6 KJV).

    Faith is the confidence that what is unseen will come to pass.  How do we know that what we cannot see will indeed come to pass in the natural?  

    Because we have the title deed.  We have the Bible.  We have the things that God has promised to give us in His Word.  Promises that are “yeah” and “amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20).   Promises that Jesus already accomplished for us when He went to the Cross.  Those promises are already ours, but we must believe that we already have them.

    Many of us are approaching the promises from the perspective that we are the sick trying to get healed.  We are actually the healed because Jesus took all our sicknesses on the Cross.  

    The enemy is trying to take away from us what is rightfully ours.  He does this in the area of our finances.  Our peace.  Our joy.  Our dreams.  Our family.

    Most Believers think satan has a right to come in and take our health, our wealth, our total life prosperity because we sinned or are weak in some area of our lives.  

    Jesus already paid the price for our sins, our sicknesses, our pain our sorrows, our poverty and our curses (Galatians 3:13).  As Pastor Joseph Prince says, Jesus overpaid the debt we owed.  

    Jesus gave us all these things as gifts.  He doesn’t take them back.  When we have accepted Christ, they are ours free and clear.

    Most Believers don’t know this, or they don’t believe it.  We have to believe what the Word of God says.  We have to put our faith in what Jesus has already done for us on the Cross.  We have to trust that when Jesus said, “It is finished,” He didn’t just save us, but He provided for our every need.

    Take the promises of God as truth.  God cannot and will not break His promises to you.  He didn’t break his promises to the great men and women of the faith even when they said, did or thought the wrong thing.   Those things didn’t break the promises He made to them.   They only delayed them.  

    If God promised it to us in His Word, then it is ours.  Believe it.  Receive it.  Stand firm to those Biblical promises.  We cannot ever let the devil take from us what is already ours.

    Mercy And Justice




    My mercy and justice are coming soon.  My salvation is on the way.  My strong arm will bring justice to the nations.  All distant lands will look to me and wait in hope for my powerful arm. Isaiah 51:5 (NLT)

    God's mercy and justice are coming to us.  Just like the nations and the distant lands, we must wait in hope for God's powerful arm to come through on our behalf.  If we wait and keep hoping, we will see God bring justice to our enemies and mercy to us.  We must wait for Him.

    Our Defeated Foe




    He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.  - 1 John 3:8 (NIV).

    Jesus came to Earth to destroy the works of the devil.  We allow an already defeated foe to run our lives.  We let him overrun our thinking, our words, our actions.  We need to remember that we are already seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.  Look down from that position?  And what do we see?  The devil under our feet.  That's how we need to act.  We need to act like the devil is defeated because he is.

    Get Your Joy Back





    Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. -  Psalm 51:12 (NIV).

    We need our joy back.  The joy of when we were first saved.  We need God to grant us a willing spirit.  We must be willing to do any thing God asks us to.  This will bring our joy back.  Joy and a willing spirit--these things will sustain us during the hard times.

    Faith And Believe




    By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. - Hebrews 11:3


    We have to have faith in what God has promised us.  We have to have faith in the unseen.  The only way the unseen will become the seen is if we have faith and believe.

    Our Creative Power




    By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. - Psalm 33:6 (NIV).

    Go To The Source




    God didn't call us to be people of compromise concerning the things of God.

    Many people are compromising the Word of God.  People are twisting it to their own advantage, to fit their own cause.

    We have preachers and teachers, great men and women, falling into temptation.  Their ministries, in some cases, have become more important to them than their relationship with God.

    It is becoming hard for us, as Believers, to find examples of men and women of God who are living according to the Word without compromise or who are teaching the unadulterated Word of the Living God.

    I feel in my spirit that we, as the Body of Christ, need to go back to the Bible.  We need to read it for ourselves.  We should study it.  I'm not saying not to listen to good preaching and teaching, but I am saying that we need to go to the Source ourselves.  Study it for ourselves instead of just relying on what we have been taught by preachers and teachers.

    Also, I believe that we need to hear God for ourselves.  We need to sit in God's presence.  We should ask Him questions and just listen.  We need to get a word from God for our lives.  We cannot rely on and put our full trust in what a human preacher or prophet tells us.  We have all encountered pastors or prophets that use their giftings for their own agenda.  If you haven't, you will.  And even good, well-meaning preachers and prophets can be wrong now and again.

    We need to go to God and get a word from Him.  It will either confirm or deny what the preacher or prophet has told us.

    It is essential to our walk with God that we go to the Source.  We have to learn to hear God for ourselves.  We have to discipline ourselves to read the Word.   This way we will have a solid foundation and no matter what ministry falls, we won't be affected because we will know the truth and the truth will make us free.

    He Is Capable




    When I am afraid, I will trust in you. - Psalm 56:3

    Even when we are afraid, we must put our trust in our God.  His plans are never to harm us but to prosper us.  We should give all our worries to God.  He is more than capable of handling all our needs and problems as well as our wants and desires.

    Focus On The Right




    Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. - 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV).

    Instead of fighting, bickering and finding fault with others, we need to encourage them.  Magnify what they are doing right rather than nit-picking and harping on what they are doing wrong.

    Worship God




    All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, - Revelation 7:11 (NIV).

    All of us, even the elders and the four living creatures, will worship God.  He is our Creator, our Healer, our Peace, our every need fulfilled.  Isn't that enough of a reason to worship Him?

    Entitled To Restoration




    After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. - Genesis 3:24 (NIV).

    Because of man's disobedience, he was kicked out of the Garden of Eden.  When Jesus died for us, though, we became entitled to the restoration of the things we had lost, such as our relationship with God, our health, our prosperity, our wholeness.

    Speak The Right Words




    Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? - Hebrews 1:14 (NIV).

    Angels serve those who inherit salvation.  Angels are listening for your words to perform them.  However they are only listening for the words that come out of your mouth that are based on God's Word.  That's why we must train ourselves to speak the words of God from the Bible.

    No Gloating Allowed




    Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice, or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him. - Proverbs 24:17-18 (NIV).

    We are not to gloat or laugh when our enemies stumble.  Instead we should pray for our enemies.  Pray that God's blessings and grace would overtake them.  Just remember how much grace and mercy God has bestowed upon you, even now, especially when you don't deserve it.

    Thank You




    Have you ever opened the door for someone, who didn't say "thank you"?  Have you ever let someone cut in line in front of you, who didn't acknowledge the gesture?  Have you ever done something for your child--chauffeuring him to games, washing her clothes, buying him the toy he just had to have--and she didn't show any appreciation?

    God sent His Son, His only Begotten Son, to die.  They whipped Him, beat Him and nailed Him to a cross.  He took your sins, your sicknesses, your pains, your sorrows, your poverty, your curses on Himself.  He took them so that you could be in right-standing with God.  Jesus laid down His life for you.  God raised Him from the dead, and He ascended into Heaven.  He is at the right hand of the Father.  He is making intercession for you.  

    How many of you, or me for that matter, say "thank You" to Him?  How many of you are grateful for what He did yet never express your gratitude to Him?

    In most of your every day life, you complain about your life--your spouse, your children, your job, your health--but seldom do you purposely find something in your life  for which you can be grateful.

    When you take the time to be appreciative toward God and others, your relationships will be more meaningful.  The people around you will feel more appreciated and feel better about themselves.  And really, how much time out of your day does it take to say "thank you" or "I appreciate you" to your waitress?  Your boss?  Your co-workers?  Your mail person?  Your kids?  Your spouse?  

    How much time does it take to tell God how much you appreciate all He has done for you--saving you, redeeming you, delivering you, healing you, providing for you?  Is a "thank you" to much to ask in return?  

    When a trial or difficulty comes your way, you need to stop and find some thing good about the situation.  Some thing for which to be grateful.  

    You need to do what the song says, "Count your blessings. Count them one by one."  Because when you do, your perspective changes.  Once you change your focus, you change your thoughts.  When you change your thoughts, you change your life.

    What Are Your Idols?




    Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. - 1 Corinthians 10:14 (NIV).

    Idols are not just statues.  They are anything in our lives that we put before God.  What are the idols in your life?  Money?  Sports?  Plastic surgery to look young?  Your business?  It's time to give those things to God.  It is time to seek God for He is and not just what He can give you.

    If No One...




    How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?  Romans 10:14 (NIV)

    How can people be taught the Gospel if no one preaches it?  How can they be saved, healed, delivered  and set free if no one instructs them?  Let us all be the instructors, the ministers of the Gospel, that they so desperately need.

    Rejoice





    Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. - Philippians 1:19 (NIV).

    As long as we continue to rejoice, God will turn everything around for our deliverance.  We must rejoice whether we feel like it or not.  We should not let our feelings dictate our lives.  Instead we should dictate to them what the Word of God says.

    Renew Your Youth




    who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.  (Psalm 103:5 NIV).

    The Love Walk





    It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it  keeps no record of wrongs. - 1 Corinthians 13:5 (NIV).

    Love is not self-seeking.  It keeps no record of wrongs.   When we are throwing what people have done to us back in their faces, we are not walking in love.  When we are keeping track of what we have done for them, again, we are not walking in love.  It is time that we let God's love flow through us.  Then we can be for loving to others.

    Think Of Riding A Bike




    Ever seen the movie Return To Me?  

    It's about two people.  One is Bob, a man who is about to lose the wife who he loves dearly.  

    The other is Grace, a woman who needs a heart transplant.  In one of the early scenes, Grace is in the hospital in desperate need of a new heart.  She is obviously discouraged and is in physical pain.

    Her best friend, Megan, gives her a wonderful piece of advice, " Think of riding a bike, and going to Italy."

    Grace wanted to ride a bike after her transplant.  Something she couldn't do before.

    Grace receives her new heart from Bob's dead wife.  Then she is able to ride her bike.  She even races a group of kids down the street.

    When we are going through a crisis, we need to follow this advice.  We should pick a goal and focus on it.  By diverting our attention to something other than what we are facing, we will change the direction of our lives.

    A person who is learning to race a car will crash if he focuses on the wall.  If he diverts his attention on where he wants to go rather than where he is going, the car will start moving in that direction.
    That is true about us too.  Wherever our minds focuses on, our bodies will follow.

    This is why we have to deliberately choose what to focus on.  Will we focus on our sickness?  Or what we are going to do when we are well?  Are we going to focus on the lack in our lives?  Or are we going to focus on how we can change the situation?

    We must pick a goal.  We need to find some thing we want to do, or accomplish, and focus on it. When we do, our lives will change.  We will have more purpose.  

    When we divert our focus from the crisis to our goal, we will be able to come through the crisis victoriously.

     So remember:  " Think of riding a bike, and going to Italy."

    No Difference




    This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all
    who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short
    of the glory of God, -  Romans 3:22-23 (NIV).


    There is no difference between man or woman, good or bad, rich or poor, we have all sinned.  And Jesus died for us all.  We all have the same opportunity to accept Christ and to be His children, engrafted into His family.

    Be Set Free




    Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept
    bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what
    bound her?" - Luke 13:16 (NIV).

    What have you been bound by?  What has satan kept you bound to?  God can set you free just as He did this woman because just like her you are entitled to the blessings of Abraham.

    Bless The Lord





    Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. - Psalm 103:1 (KJV).

    Everything within us needs to bless the Lord.  I heard Joyce Meyer say that when she didn't feel good, she used to confess, "Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name."  Whenever I eat something questionable, I confess the same thing.  The more we say it, the more our bodies will have to conform.   Then our bodies will bless the Lord.  And no matter what anyone else tells us, sickness does not bless the Lord.

    Create A Harvest




    Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. - Psalms 119:11 (KJV).

    We have to do more than hear the Word or read it.  We must meditate on it--roll it over in our minds, think upon it and pray it--until it drops into our hearts.  Then it will grow and create you a harvest.  The result is that you will not sin in that area of your life.

    He Changes Not!




    For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.  - Malachi 3:6 (KJV).

    God doesn't change.  His Word doesn't change.  He is not confused.  He will not say anything contrary to His Word. That's why it is the sure Word of God.

    Listen




    And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. - Exodus 15:26 (KJV).

    Now with the New Covenant, Jesus had fulfilled the Covenant in our lives, He has fulfilled the law.  However we still must listen and obey the voice of our Heavenly Father.  Our lives just might depend on it.
