You Are Crowned

You are crowned.   You are crowned with the goodness and the majesty of God.   You are a royal priesthood, ordained by Him.   Your status goes far beyond what you can see in the natural.   The situations you face are in the natural, but your status is supernatural.   Your authority is not limited to what you can see or what you can hear.   You have the ability within you to cause "atmospheres" to change.   All that is stopping you .... is you.   Ability, power, might....they are all on the inside of you.   The Holy Spirit that lives on the inside of is ever revealing the things of God to you.   Once you understand what you have been crowned with and the authority you have been given.....nothing can stand in the way of you fulfilling God's purpose here on the earth.  

Covenant Exchange

God has made a binding agreement with us.....a promise that cannot be broken.   Have you ever got tired of people breaking promises....of things going wrong?   Well the thing about God is that He cannot lie.   He can't do anything wrong.   The Bible says that God is not a man that He should lie nor the son of man that He should repent.   He never has to go back on His word.  If you don't receive anything else from this blog today, please grab hold of the "fact" that God cannot go back on His word.   It is not in Him to have to repent.   It is not in Him to lie.   So what He said in His word and what He has said about you....IS TRUE.

Now the biggest thing that we must understand is that the covenant is an exchange.   There are things that we must do in order to receive God's promises.    We must "honor" Him, we must "obey" Him, and we must "trust" Him.   Unlike many agreements that we have bound ourselves to, God has incorporated two provisions in His covenant that will keep the agreement from being nullified if we fail to meet up to the standards.   Those provisions are "grace" and "mercy".  

God's desire is that you see the end result of His promises.   He desires that you walk in health.   That you walk in wealth.   That you walk in the confidence of knowing who He is in you, to you, and through you.  

God's plan for your life goes far beyond your ideas or your qualifications.    His plan has to be revealed to you by Him.    As He told Jeremiah in the Bible, so it is for us.   He knows the plans that He has for us.  Plans of good and not evil.   Plans to give us a hope and a future.   In other words, the plan that He has will produce inside of us not only an "expectancy" but it will also take us into our "expected end".   \\

Trust the word in your life today.   Know the covenant promises of God.   Know the "exchange"....what you must do in order to receive the promises of the covenant.

"We Cry Out"

Ministered By Kari Jobe - Gateway Worship

What God Can Do In A Moment

In a moment God can move mountains.   In a moment God can open blind eyes.   In a moment God can open up oceans.   In a moment God can remove everything that is coming against your life.   In a moment.
What is your moment today?   What do you need God to do for you today?  

One moment in the presence of God can change your whole life.....

Take time to stop, look, and listen today.   Stand still in His presence.   Look at who God is.   He said "I am THAT" I am.   In other words, He is "that healing" you need.   He is "that job" you need.   He is "that joy" that you are lacking.    And after you have stood still in His presence, and recognized who He is, then listen.   Find out the direction that He has already mapped out for your life.   The road has already been paved and there is no need to try to find a shortcut or path that has never been traveled.  
Sometimes when you try to take a shortcut, you come back on the same road just to find out you are right back where you started.

God In This Moment

God Knows

God knows every fear.   God knows every fault.   God knows when you are happy and God knows when you are sad.   God knows what is good for you.   God knows what will make you sick.  God knows you better than you know yourself.

God loves you when you are afraid.   God loves you when you do something wrong.   God loves you when you express joy to Him.   He also loves you when you don't know which way to turn.    Because God knows what is good for you, He is able to make His grace abound towards you.   Because He knows the things that are meant to harm you, God has given His angels charge over you to keep you.   Because God knows you better than you know yourself, He is able to take good care of you.

So relax....no matter what the situation is....remember...."God Knows". 

The Purpose

There is a purpose behind everything.   Haven't you ever heard the saying .... "if you don't know the purpose of a thing, you will abuse it".   So my question to you today is ... Do you know your purpose or are you abusing God's grace and mercy?  

Abuse can mean "excessive use".  Meaning are you going beyond the normal, reasonable, or proper use of God's grace?   Or is your lifestyle one in which you are trying to live holy and trying to live right?  You have to understand that there is a difference between grace and faith.

A lot of times we do things and we know that they are wrong when we do them.   We tend to assume God's forgiveness before we even do it.   That's not God's desire.   It is not His desire that we have knowledge and understanding and yet we never use it.  

We have to know that the difference between grace and faith.   Faith says that I am taking a stand.  It says that I will not be moved.    I won't be shifted to compromise that which I believe.   We tend to look at grace with more leniency.  We tend to look at grace and say....even if I do this, God will forgive me.   We say that "God knows my weaknesses" or "I'll do better next time".    The problem is, in many cases, we don't even try to do the right thing, because we know we are already forgiven.  

Our sole purpose is to magnify God.   In magnifying God, we are to cause Him to become enlarged in someone else's eyes.   Someone else is watching everything we do.    Whether it be the right thing or the wrong thing, we are always "magnifying something".    As a matter of fact, we are always magnifying "destiny".   One definition of destiny is "the power that will determine the course of events".  

We have to choose if we want to magnify "God's Faith" or "God's Grace And Mercy".   People do need to know both.   They need to know that God forgives.   But you have to remember.....everything is still left up to the interpretation.  Although you know you are walking under grace and mercy,  how are those around you interpreting your behavior?

Take Me Out Of The Dark

Ministered By Gary Valenciano

God Is Everything

Everything that God is, He is in you.    Everything you are.....you are in God.   Not only is God everything.... He has given everything for you.   

Think about it....if He is everything....that means He gave all that He is for you!

Know God "Within"

God said that He would never leave you nor forsake you.   He said that He is always with you.   God is not only external....but He is internal, not to mention He is eternal.   You have to know God within.   The Holy Spirit that lives on the inside of you.  The Spirit that is within you, within your situations, and within your circumstances.   Within means the interior or inner parts of a thing.   God wants to be "within" everything that concerns you.

The funny thing is, we tend to want to leave Him on the outside.   We even "create" barriers in order to try to keep God out.   A barrier is anything that obstructs or impedes someone or something.   We live in a way that we keep God's Spirit from flowing freely in us.

It's time to remove all the barriers....whether they be visible or invisible (not seen by everyone around you).   God's desire is to flow freely in you....so that He can then move freely through you.

It's time to let God in and kick the devil out!
