THE LAND OF GOODNESS

THE LAND OF GOODNESS We all are explorers, searching for the new, enjoying the old, becoming personally enlarged with each discovery. What we behold affects us. If we look at it long enough, it changes us. There are parts of   God ’s   goodness   that are easily noticeable to the casual observer. Much like Moses, we’ve been given a challenge. He saw a burning bush that wasn’t being consumed by its flames.  The story records an important detail that should help us all in our journey. It was only when Moses turned aside that the Lord spoke to him from the bush. (See Exodus 3:4.) Sometimes giving undivided attention to the obvious releases a greater encounter with Him, manifesting a greater revelation of what He is like. The bottom line is that we can’t find anything significant on our own. It must be revealed to us. In other words, all discoveries are not the result of our discipline and determination alone. As the ultimate steward, He gives these gifts to those w...

KINGS AND PRIESTS

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9) And [now] they sing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll and to break the seals that are on it, for You were slain (sacrificed), and with Your blood You purchased men unto God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And You have made them a kingdom (a royal race) and priests to our God, and they shall reign [as kings] over the earth! (Revelation 5:9-10 AMP) We were not saved just to have a ticket to heaven and in the meantime to maintain selfless and sinless lives here on earth. The purpose of our calling is to make known the excellencies of God. We are called to reveal and demonstrate His power, goodness, and love. We are destined to bring heaven here on earth. The term 'royal priesthood' signifies we are both to be priests a...

CONFESSION BRINGS POSSESSION

CONFESSION BRINGS POSSESSION IF YOU WILL confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. This word saved is translated from the Greek word sozo, which means to be "healed spiritually and healed physically" - healed in body and healed in soul, or saved from sin and saved from sickness. The same word is translated "heal, preserve, save, and make whole. " EXPRESS AND EXPERIENCE Paul adds: For with the heart we believe unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. Confession is made to salvation. Salvation does not come until after confession is made. One must believe and confess before experiencing the result. This is faith, and By grace you are saved through faith. Always remember: Confession comes first; then Jesus, who is the High Priest of our confession, responds by granting the things we have confessed. There is no such thing as salvation without confession. It is a...

Intimacy with the Most High

Intimacy With the Most High How important is it to us to dwell in the place of communion with God? What price will we pay to experience the presence and glory of God? That I may know Him Philippians 3:7-11 7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ. 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Apostle Paul made “knowing Christ” His primary passion. He laid aside everything else s...

NO PHYSICAL DEATH

 No Physical Death Let ‘s start with the quote “As He is, so are we in Christ” which indicates the immortality of human life. According to the Word, we should be the reflection of His image. Which means, if Christ can’t die, so we should be. Then, what does death mean to us? Origin of Death: “Romans 5.12(KJV)”- Wherefore, as by one-man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so, death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned The verse convey’ s that DEATH entered the world through SIN. “Romans 6.2-11(KJV)”- 2 How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrec...

2021 YEAR OF DOMINION

2021 YEAR OF DOMINION     There’s a phrase which I don’t like at all. Undoubtedly, you’ve heard it too, usually in drawn out, religious sounding tones when circumstances seem to fall short of what God has promised us in His Word. “Well...God is sovereign.” Of course, without question, God is sovereign. But what people are really saying behind that statement is, “You never know what God is going to do.” The problem with that view of sovereignty is it releases us of all responsibility. After all, if God is sovereign, He will do what He wants to anyway, so we might as well go watch television and forget about it, right? Wrong. According to Psalm 8:6 , God Himself put mankind in charge, gave us dominion, and put all things under our feet. He doesn’t intervene in the affairs of the Earth whenever He wants. He respects the dominion and authority He has given us. Are all things under your feet today? If not, it’s time to take a closer look at what dominion really means.   1. Do...

World’s System vs. God’s System

GOD has a highly organized system to meet the needs of every facet of your life. The world’s system of meeting our needs works exactly opposite from  GOD'S  system.  GOD'S  system is totally adequate. The world’s idea of anything is very limited at best and stands a 99.9 percent chance of being totally wrong. As believers, we must be careful not to limit GOD in our individual lives to what the world says is so. The problem with the world and its system of operations is that there is a spiritual mad dog loose in it and his name is Satan. The world has a system of healing that is a miserable failure! We thank GOD for what good has been done with it, but we are forced to admit it falls far short of being adequate to meet the needs of the sick around us. Some men are dedicated to it as if it were a god. The world’s system of healing makes a god of the hospital and a god of medicine. Actually, for the most part, it leaves GOD out entirely, and without GOD, it will...
