All a seed needs, is to be placed in the proper environment. You are God’s garden you are God’s husbandry 1 Corinthians. 3:9 When you position yourself in the proper atmosphere, your going to put down roots. Your going to come through the soul of life. Your going to bud, then bloom and grow. Let the Holy Spirit lead you into a place where the rich nutrients of his word will affect your growth.
Isaiah 61:3b
….that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
When we think of the might of the old, ( that is the mighty power God release on the behalf of the Redeemed in the Old Testament), We say, “ How can God top his display of deliverance from temporary evils in our day?” But not only my dear brother, my dear sister does God keep the Uncompromisingly Righteous from the wicked one in the earth, but God looks out from the inside of the Redeemed today. He transacts business not just from the heavenly sphere, but his great acts of salvation are taking place right here. For he’s walking around in the earth on the inside of us. We are mobile temples of the Holy Ghost. So the inside job is a far superior one. Hallelujah! 2 Cor. 6:16b. …. for ye are the temple of the living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Getting midway into a project can be tedious if your energy level decreases. Ahhh, that’s not good. You need strength to persevere until you’ve completed the task. But I have good news for you. Remember when Moses held up his arms while the children of Israel fought with the Amalekites? His arms became heavy and he began to weaken. But Arron And Hur stood beside him. First putting a stone under him so he could sit down, then holding both his arms up until Joshua completed the task of conquering the Amalekite. Today we have the Spirit Of God on the inside of us and he he will quicken your mortal body, meaning giving strength or making you lively and any assignment given you, as you go forward, you remember him that is within. And you can all Upon him in the midst of an intense project knowing, that the strength of God is on reserve for you.
Exodus 17: 11-
…11As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed. 12 When Moses’ hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on each side, so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down. 13 So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his army with the sword.…
Rom8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you.
Not only will he raise you up at the last day, he is able to keep you strong until you approach the ending of your years.
That’s good News
Walking in this life as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ can be done with much grace. ( Meaning he guides your every step, secures your position, and keeps you well and prosperous at the same time.) When we submit ourselves to his word, he surely watches over our lives. And we are enabled to live a long satisfying life in his service.
John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Psalms 92:12
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 Toshew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
An invitation is extended to you and I. To sit at the table of the King. Oh yes, he desires your presence to sit at his side, so he can lavish his love, in his goodness, his kindness, and his graciousness. He is willing to bestow, all that he has, so that you will prosper and grow. He brings everything that he is to the table. And greatest motivation of his heart, is for you to fall in love with his Son, the one who built a bridge so that you and be could sit together and you would experience his love beyond Measure.
John 14:13-14 King James Version (KJV)
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Ohh How I have invited the Lord to share with me areas of my life that would cause me to miss the mark. For you see God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, he is truly powerful. As we allow him to correct us, we begin to hook up to his resources. I remember Joshua who began a successful campaign In causing the children of Israel to inherit the Land promised to them. There came an instances when there victory was overthrown. Joshua came before the Lord deeply disturbed. God did not withhold the light needed to cause their connection to return and victory to continue. Fear not to enquire of the Lord on every matter that is not connected to his loving source.
Joshua 7:6-12
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown to the ground before the ark of the Lord, remaining there till evening. The elders of Israel did the same, and sprinkled dust on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord, why did you ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us? If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan! 8 Pardon your servant, Lord. What can I say, now that Israel has been routed by its enemies? 9 The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth. What then will you do for your own great name?”
10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face? 11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions. 12 That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.
Deuteronomy 28, is a chapter you want to look at. It is a fascinating chapter, because it’s so clear cut and dry concerning all that has transpired upon the earth. But Oh Glory be to God! Concerning those who walk righteously before the Lord, Jesus has Redeemed us from the curse of the law. He did it so that the blessings of Abraham would come on us. Thank You Jesus!! Those first 14 verses pertain to you. Gal. 3:13,14. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal. 3:29. 29And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise
Because we walk by faith and not by sight; ( or, seeing things naturally the way the are ), Anything that contradicts the word of God, we shut it out of our thinking. The word of God says, with his stripes we are healed, Isaiah 53:5b. Whatever promises that your standing upon, protect them in your soul. Through Christ, you have the ability to do so Philippians 4:13 your soul belongs to you! Now when the enemy approaches with afflictions and persecution, you rise up to meet him at the door. You let him know under no circumstances will I receive this from you. And immediately get your mind back on the word and the images of victory it paints and you’ll walk free.
2 Cor. 4.7,8
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Things appearing genuine on the outside, are surely known as we live from our hearts, (or spirits), and not just our heads, ( or minds). God is a Spirit and we were created in his image, even though we have a physical body, and a mind or ( intellect). As you pray and become quiet before the Lord, he will witness to your heart the legitimacy of a situation. This is so powerful, we can be accurate continually, always making proper decisions.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come John 14:13
To those who look into the perfect law of liberty, and continue, there in, (the keys is to continue and not allow the wicked one to corrupt the text in your thinking,) this man or woman will be blessed, that is empowered to prosper in his deeds. James 1;25 That includes living until your satisfied.
Not to long ago, the devil challenged me on this part of the word. I had been preaching for the missionary evangelist group that I am a part of. I came home and found my dad, who was 86 at the time, lying in the floor in a pool of blood. He was conscious and I called EMSA and had him immediately taken to the hospital. While I was cleaning up that blood, there was so much all over the floor, the devil said I’m going to kill him. I said no your not! Jesus shed his blood for my Dad, so his blood will replace this blood devil! I LOCKED INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY. I Declared the word of God, night and day. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your house shall be saved, that includes my dad, Acts 16:31, With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation Psalms 91:16 that’s my dad, he’s not satisfied neither am I. We have the New Testament and Old Testament blessings amen? No weapon formed against me shall prosper and every tongue, ( that includes Satan’s) that rises up against me shall be condemned. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (Because I walk under covenant protection Isaiah 54:19. )Well he tried to fight my mind, but I countered him with the word of God, I didn’t cast out God’s word and begin to look at something else. My brothers and sisters, my Dad walked away from that hospital, he just had his birthday January 10th. My God is faithful to me, because I am faithful to his word. I have authority in my household, you can have it too. But begin to build these truths into your heart. It will take time, but it’s well worth the effort.
Psalms 103:1-6.
1 {A Psalm of David.} Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
