A FORM OF GODLINESS, DENYING THE POWER

There is no easy way to say above mentioned, except to understand
that religion has no power. Religion is a belief in something that makes
one feel better, done by acts that lead to repetition. Jesus Christ was
about lifestyle and freedom. He broke the mold of His religion in his
day. They just did not believe in Jesus nor did they want others to
believe. Believing in God is the first priority on the list of everyday.
For we will face many things that will produce doubt. God's Holy
Spirit is given to move us from doubt and unbelief, to demonstration
and His blessings. God will always back up what is spoken in truth and
by His name, as there is no other name higher than Jesus Christ.
Unbelief will not inherit spiritual blessings. All spiritual blessings first
come from within the believer. We hope and dream of what can be
accomplished in God. After all it is God who has come to live within
us. What a statement! We are to be born of His Spirit, we are to let
Him move us from within. Simply put, joy and peace in believing,
torment and confusion when we do not believe. That is the enemy of
our soul's plan. He has come to displace every born again believer and
to see that they lose their focus. It is only by the resurrection power of
God, His transforming power that comes, it starts first by an attitude
of gratitude. God inhabits the praises and thanksgiving of His people.
He chooses to abide in vessels filled with His likeness. The Word of
God says; We are either a fragrance of life or death. 2 Corinthians 2.
It is easy to become bitter and angry in this life. God knew this and it
is why he sent the Comforter. We are not to stay in this mode. We
pray this morning that we are released from all things that do not
pertain to life in God. Let us pray, Father we release each other and
ourselves by the power of the spoken word today, we thank you that
we refuse these things:
* Unbelief
* Doubt
* Any kind of fear
* Discontentment
* Irritations from others
* Circumstances we do not understand
* Feelings of discouragement
* Depression
* Weariness
* And financial stress
We live in your economy not ours. As our Covenant provider, you
have promised to supply all our needs according to your riches in
glory. That is your promise and we believe. Your presence and all that
you stand for is provided supernaturally in you and through the body
of Christ praying for all. You are not picky who you will choose, you
choose those of a willing heart.
Because we face such challenging times, we are to remember just a
few things. Space and time does not allow for all that would like to be
written, but we pray that all can receive and glean from the seed of
His word, He does what He says, He cannot deny Himself:
* All spiritual blessings are ours. Ephesians 1:3
* Jesus Christ is Lord. Philippians 2:10
* Victory in Him. I Cor. 15:57
* Greater is He that is in me. I John 4:4
* We are free indeed. John 8:36
* We are healed by His Stripes. I Peter 2:24
* We are healed by His Word. Ps. 107:20
* His joy brings us Strength. Nehemiah 8:10
* We are redeemed out of the hands of the enemy.
* He has been rendered powerless as we abide in Christ.
Many are not equipped enough in His Word. He is the Word, but in
order to stand we must know the God of the Word. We must seek and
ask for revelation today concerning our certain circumstances. In some
ways this is a one size fits all, as He covers us with His presence. But
we must learn to walk in that covering and His presence. I want to say
it right. God accepts all in every shape that one can find themselves in.
He wants to cloth all in His righteousness. This is done by believing in
Jesus Christ. We must believe and not doubt. It is a simple choice , yet
hard to do. We as the Body of Christ are to encourage and move each
other in this blessing that is given by believing. Like mind and spirit
will release God's favor. When two come into agreement, He can
move. He doesn't need a crowd. Keeping our focus is done better, by
those who can focus with you. We can move and help one another.
First priority of the day, stay focused on what He has given you to do,
wherever you are. Allow your thoughts and heart to be touched by
Him, we will overcome by the blood of the lamb, and the word of our
testimony. It is so!
His Spirit Moves us in Him
We Are Led to Walk in Victory, We Are Over comers!
We cannot change things, but we are to be changed. He does this by
our submission and trusting in Him. What are you called to do, and
who will pray and stand with you. First of all, God does. "If God be
for you, who can be against you." We have spoken this to each other
at times when times are rough, "Hey, I am on your side." What a
blessing when you feel things are against you. Folks, I want to say to
you, "Hey! I am on your side!" I hope that brings a smile to your face,
as it is on mine today. Step by step we are overcoming in this life as
we have been given all that we need through Christ. Amen.
