Proper Perspective
Deut.18:9 “…be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations… 10 For example, …fortune-telling …sorcery …interpret omens …witchcraft, …cast spells 11…mediums or psychics… 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord…” [with emphasis]
God says anyone whether pastors, prophets, evangelist, apostles, believer, non-believer, whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord. The fact that people throw a cloak of Pentecostalism over fortune telling does not change it from divination as far as heaven is concerned and heaven detests it. Deut.18:13 “But you must be blameless before the Lord your God. 14The nations you are about to displace consult sorcerers and fortune-tellers, but the Lord your God forbids you to do such things.” Let your ears hear what the Spirit is saying.
Playing God?
Phil.4:19 “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”
You are not to worry about your finances because it is unreasonable, it is unnatural, it is unhelpful, it is unnecessary, and it is unbelieving. The truth is that worry shows unbelief. Matt.6:30 “So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?’ or `What shall we drink?’ or `What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things and your heavenly Father knows that you need them” [with emphasis]. If you are an unbeliever, the Bible is saying you should be worried. But if you are a believer your Father will Read the rest of this entry
He Is Able II
1Sam.1:27 “I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and he has granted my request”
Rom.4:17 “…Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing. 18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” [with emphasis]. The Bible says God creates new things out of nothing. Even if the report is that you do not have a womb, God can create a new one. If the experts say the tubes are gone, God can Read the rest of this entry
His Spirit
Zech.4:6 “Then he said to me, “This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies”.
God wants you to know today that for that level you desire to get to, the speed you are going to have is going to be supernatural. If you believe it then declare it out loud. My promotion shall not be by my power, or my strength, but by God’s Spirit. Ps.75:6 “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” Your speed is going to be supernatural.
His Delight
Ps.50:5 “Bring my faithful people to me – those who made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices”
It is okay to start small. Just start and go forward! You and I must develop the willingness to do what it takes. God says, “Do not despise the days of little beginnings”. Do not despise what God rejoices in. A church invited a pastor to minister in their church and the day the pastor arrived, the church sent a car to the airport to pick him up. When this pastor came out of the airport and saw that the pick up car was a mini, he refused to enter the car. He claimed that his anointing was too big to enter a mini. Something is wrong Read the rest of this entry
Just The Beginning
Zech.4:10 Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand” [emphasis added].
The plumb line is the tool of your trade. We all have a plumb line. What is your plumb line? Chalk would be the plumb line for someone who is a teacher. A doctor’s plumb line would probably the stethoscope. For people who are into software, their plumb line would most likely be their computer. God needs to see the plumb line your hands. The Bible says, “…the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line…”
Go!
Haggai 2:7 “I will shake all the nations, and the treasures of all the nations will be brought to this Temple. I will fill this place with glory, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.”
Today we will kick off with our closing thought from yesterday, which is holding on to what God has placed a demand on renders that thing useless to you. Take the principle of tithing for instance, whoever decides to keep God’s ten percent will not only lose that ten percent, the person will end up losing everything. That is just how it works. Anything you do not honor God with becomes labeled for destruction. That is how it works.
Be Strong!
Josh.1:6 “Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous.
The future glory of your life shall be greater than the past. No matter how great or how turbulent your past has been, your future glory shall be greater than your past, in Jesus Name. The future glory of your finances shall be greater than your past. The future glory of your marriage shall be greater than the past. The future glory of your health shall be greater than the past. The future glory of your destiny shall be greater than that of your past, in Jesus Name. Your best days are still ahead. It is the truth of the Word of God. You Read the rest of this entry
Wrestle This!
Gen.5:23 “Enoch lived 365 years, 24 walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.”
Every time you allow the world to contaminate your consecration to God, you are asking for trouble. One major hazard to God’s people has always been the influence of the people around them. The examples in Scripture are for you and I, so that we do not make the same mistakes they made. Do not gloss over it! Learn from it. A ship can go from one continent to another without sinking as long as the ocean stays outside of the ship. The moment the water begins to enter the ship, it will sink. You are in the world but you are not of Read the rest of this entry
Set Free!
Matt.6:14-15 [MSG] “In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can’t get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God’s part”
Do yourself a favour and forgive for your own sake. I love to see the power of God at work. Some years ago, I met this lady that had shingles all over her body and for a lady that is a major issue. My friends had set up a prayer session for her and so I joined in. As the prayer session was heating up, I heard the Holy Spirit say to me, “Tell her to forgive her father”. So I stopped the prayers and told my friends what I thought God was saying. So we tried to carefully break it to her but as soon as we mentioned her father, it was like a Read the rest of this entry
