All things are possible by faith, we as saints of God must
stand on that statement.
The enemy tries to sow doubt in your mind that it won’t happen.
The word of God is settled. The word doesn’t change. We need the God-kind of
faith to believe that if nothing is impossible with God and we are children of
God and if we ask we will receive.
If I’m asking, I’m expecting to receive because I don’t ask
God to do something that goes against his word or character.
2 Corinthians 4:7
– We can’t do anything on our own. Psalm
62:11 – Power belongs to God so whatever I need; God has the power to answer
our prayers. We must be in his will. We must pray according to his will. Hebrews 6:13 – 14 – After he patiently
endured he obtained the promise. It doesn’t say what he had to endure but he
took it patiently.
Some obstacles and roadblocks came on Abraham but be endured
because God promised. Ephesians 1:3 –
When it says all spiritual blessings – everything natural comes out of the
spirit because God is a spirit.
How does anyone receive the blessing?
The blessing is in Christ, so in order to receive these
blessings we must be in Christ. John
15:7 – Abide in me – ask what you will – there are no limitations. Abiding –
living according to my word - obedient to his word. Proverbs – guard your heart
and mind. Don’t think on negativity or doubt. He does what’s in his will.
If it’s in his word, it’s in his will. Obedience is one
thing that doesn’t work alone. 1 John 5:3 – Keep his commandments. They’re not
troublesome or hard because we are in Christ, so in Christ – I can do ALL
things.
1 John 5:4 – We are in Christ, walking by faith. We are in
the position to receive. Obedience works by love and faith.
When we obey, he rewards those who obey him. John 15:10 – my
joy may be full – love each other. The holy spirit gives us the power to love.
We are not perfect. We can’t own perfection. We all have faults and failures.
We all have different personalities, our differences don’t change
our love. Some of our blessings are held up by our own actions.
It’s not that God can’t. The only thing, he can’t do is lie.
We must help each other get through whatever we’re dealing with.
His eternal love will:
- · Help you
- · Counsel you
- · Nurture you
- · Help you gain your strength
Don’t make it known to anyone what you do for other people.
When you do something for someone it should only be between you, God and the
other person. We serve an almighty God who works in our lives to go about his
will.
God keeps his promises. God gives us the power. Philippians
4:13 – He strengthens me. If you have the power of God, you have the wisdom of
God. So there is no reason asking someone’s opinion about something?
Sometimes when God sends us on an assignment it’s just for
us.
Whenever you need to,
the Holy Spirit will put in your mouth, exactly what to say. We need the
knowledge of Christ.
Knowledge of Christ should increase consistently. We need to
become more like Christ. If I know Christ I have peace.
Discipline yourself to know what you have; instead of praying
for it thank God for it. Thank God for the peace you already have instead of
asking God for peace.
When we get the knowledge of Christ we no longer wonder if
we have things. We already have it. We’ve been justified by faith. We have
peace but we must demonstrate peace while we’re in this world, because the
world is going crazy.
Since we have peace. We are the light of the world. The
world should look at you and see a manifestation of peace. Which gives us an
opportunity to witness to others about how we make it.
We have peace, hope and eternal life. Our assurance of
receiving the things of God are based upon our knowledge of God. I have to know
God to be assured that what he promised will comet o pass. You need to trust
God, have faith because things may not immediately change. That’s why God is sovereign
– he does what he wants, when he wants.
Be like Job, “though he slay me, yet will I trust him”.
Assurance comes through knowing God through his mighty acts. Joshua 3:10 – As soon
as the sole of the foot of a priest touched the water it stood up in the air.
This is the same God we serve in 2015; the same God who was
with the children of Israel.
We walk by faith and not by sight. I have the victory in
this. I’m trusting in the Lord. I’m not going to lean to my own understanding.
If I lean to my own understanding, it takes me out of where I need to be.
I’m not worried about the who, what, when or where. I’m
going to stand on his word and wait for the manifestation.
I’m going to continue to walk upright before him and know in
my spirit that what he promised will come to pass. Some people can’t be around
you. You can’t bring everyone into your situation because they’ll throw water
on your faith.
We have assurance according to God’s promise. We can’t leave
out the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit assures believers and gives us a
conviction. Romans 8:16 – We are heirs of God and joint heirs Christ.
Guarding our speech is in the Bible twice. We must guard our
speech. Don’t allow bad times to dictate what you say out of your mouth.
My God shall supply all of my needs.
There will be times where you can’t get help from anyone
else. My God will supply our needs.
1 John 2:3 – We know if we keep his commandments we have the
evidence. People should look at us and see a Godly person, living a Godly life.
No matter the circumstance I will still live a Godly life.
They shall know that you’re disciples by your love.
Psalms 84:11 – You have the blessings of the Lord but we
need: Confidence, knowledge, faith, hope.
We are in Christ so we have access. In the old testament the
priests could be the only intercessory but Christ said come boldly before the
throne now.
I’m so glad we serve a God where we can go to him whenever
and wherever.
God is there and God is good.
Psalm 62:11 – Power belongs to God. Whenever you feel weak
and weary remember that the power belongs to God.
We are blessed. Whatever God has given you will last. All of
his promises will last. We only need to ask in faith and believe it.
