Day 56 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

It is Written,“This is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
.
“This is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.” If I learned one thing about living in Christ, it is the knowledge of the flesh and Spirit. Though your Spirit will spend eternity somewhere, your flesh is destine to return to dust. So we find this truth about the Flesh, “For our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever!”  We can not let our present troubles supersede the destiny we have in the Lord! “So we don’t look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen.” Believe in the Glory of Heaven. God has set for us a beautiful place where we shall spend the rest of eternity with him.
.
“For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever.” This is the truth of the Lord that we hold on to. When we call upon the Lord, we as for the Spirit of Joy in every situation. God’s Word assures us that our troubles will not last always and that Joy will soon come. It is by the renewing of the spirit daily that produces this ever lasting hope within us. Don’t look at your situation today and say it is Lord of your life, but lean unto the promise that God has set before you. God is always here to remind us that his Grace is sufficient through every situation.

Day 49 2 Corinthians 10:5

“Thoughts and Actions!”
.
It is written,“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. “ (2 Corinthians 10:5)
.
“We break down every thought and proud thing that puts itself up against the wisdom of God. We take hold of every thought and make it obey Christ.”  Living in order with God starts from the Inside. A life of transformation begins with our daily thoughts. “We take hold of every thought and make it obey Christ.” Our greatest weapon in combating the enemy is the Word of the Lord. We daily awaken to a battle field. And not known to most, is the battle field of our own minds. God has given us victory over all obstacles in our way, but it is how we perceive these things that give us victory.
.
A man within his mind will wake up for work; because he knows that he will be reward will be given him to live. His employer has stated in writing that he will be paid a certain amount if he works the amount hours a day and certain days a week. If he is late, he gets a warning, if the work is not done, he has to stay overtime. Once a man works overtime, he is paid extra for finishing the work. On holidays, if the man works, his employer pays him a double portion. When a man is being promoted, he will train his replacement in his ways so that he may take his new promotion. When a man is found to be faithful in his work, he is called upon to be a manager. As a manager a man is called to delegate work to those who he is over. Once those who are below him have been shown to be faithful and add to growth of the company, the man’s territory is expanded. All these action all began as a thought the size of a seed that was planted.
.
When a man is faithful in his thoughts, his actions are blessed. God has written contact with every man, and by God’s Word, shall receive the payment by His work in the kingdom. We are kingdom minded people, so I plead today, let your heart be focused on the work that God has given you in your life, because even on holidays, our work is awarded with a double portion of the Lord Blessing.

Day 44 Acts 8:14-17

“Receive the Holy Spirit!”

“When the apostles back in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted God’s message, they sent Peter and John there.  As soon as they arrived, they prayed for these new Christians to receive the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them, for they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John laid their hands upon these believers, and they received the Holy Spirit.”(Acts 8:14-17)

“When the apostles back in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted God’s message, they sent Peter and John there.  As soon as they arrived, they prayed for these new Christians to receive the Holy Spirit.” I can never stress the importance of receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you are to understand the depth of an apostle, you would only have to look at their day to day activities. As new believer were receiving the water baptism of John, the apostles would sent out to baptize in the Holy Spirit. Why was this important you may ask? And the answer is easy. Jesus promised that he would leave us a counselor who would be with us always. Most importantly is that Jesus knew that it is not by our strength that we are over comers in this life. We need the Spirit of God to empower us to fully walk out our destinies and fight against the schemes of the devil.
“The Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them, for they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John laid their hands upon these believers, and they received the Holy Spirit.” It was by receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior were they received the Holy Spirit. Beloved, if you have not received this Promise and Blessing from the Lord, I would encourage that you seek out those that will pray and Lay hands so that you may receive. Being a believer in Christ, you face many challenges that lay ahead. Be Clothed in the power of the Lord today and seek eagerly for this baptism.

Day 39 1 Corinthians 12:12-13

“Unity in the Body”

For it is written, “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free— we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” 1 Corinthians 12:12-13

“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” I have grown to understand one thing through my Christ walk; God has made way for many to enter the Kingdom of God. I, like many others, believed so strongly in my Faith and domination that I was caught up in the ritualistic tradition of men to understand the power of the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross. The Lord has shown me through the story of the woman at the well, that the Father seek those who will serve him with Spirit and Truth. For Jesus said, “ Believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain or Jerusalem….yet a time will come and has come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth!”

We as the Body of Christ must see that the Lord is not divided in himself. “For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one Body!” God has destine every man woman and child. If you are reading this Word today, I tell you now, Gods plan for you is not death, but Life! “Whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free- we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” It is written that God is not a respecter of person and do not let anyone deceive you of these things. It is written that when you draw near to the Lord, He will draw near to you. My prayer in Jesus Name is that you seek a deeper understanding of your part in the Body of Christ. Do not measure your calling against others, it will just belittle what the Lord has called you too. Be persistent, press into the Father, seek him daily. For no man who diligently runs after the Lord shall not find Him. You are not alone, seek The Father in Spirit and Truth and He will find you.

Day 35 2 Corinthians 5:6-10

“Faith, Can’t Leave Earth Without It!”
“Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by Faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him,  whether we are at home in the body or away from it, for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.”(2Corithians 5:6-10)
.
“Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by Faith, not by sight.” We must understand that this life in the flesh is one that we live by Faith. For we are away from the Lord, as you may know, Faith is the belief in things unseen. But do we understand what it truly means to be Faithless? It faith is a belief in things unseen, and then faithlessness comes by believing in what we do see. But being people of Faith, our hearts our set on heavenly aspirations. “We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.” Lord knows that we wait and seek to worship him in Heaven, but the will of God must be done here on earth.
.
“So we make it our goal to please him,  whether we are at home in the body or away from it, for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” Beloved, let today be the day that you seek to righteousness that leads to ever increasing Faith. For we can not wait until we ascend to heaven to be true believer of the Lord, but now is the time that God has called you to your destiny. If the reward of your Faith is at the finish line of Heaven, then know that you are still running the race of righteous living.

Day 31 Luke 13:10-13

“Power in His Word!”
.
“One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. Oh How she praised and thanked God!”(Luke 13:10-13)
.
“One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight.” I am reminded of a time when I myself had come under attack. It started as a minor side ache and over a period of time built into suffering and discomfort that I had for about a week. Having not brought it fully to The Lord, I thought it was due to working at a desk over a period of time. One morning, a Sister in Christ who worked with me said she had a dream. In this dream she saw me having pain on he left side of my body and I was going into surgery. She looked into my face and knows that it was something I needed to rebuke in Jesus Name because it was an attack of the enemy. That night, I read Gods word and after an two hours of praise and worship unto him, I came to the point where I said to The Lord, “It is in your word that you said it would not come back void in Jesus Name I rebuke this attack!” It was with authority and power that this was done and instantly the pain went away. I have since felt it try to come back, but every time I speak the word and promises of the Lord and have be pain free ever since! Praise His Holy Name!
.
“When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised and thanked God!” I tell you, when The Lord comes and heals you, how the praises will flow from your mouth! For eighteen years this woman was under attack. Most people over a period of time just accept what is happening and that’s when the enemy wins. But I am here to tell you that God is calling for you to take authority in Jesus Name and rebuke what ever sickness and disease is coming against you! We are called to bind this attack at the root which is the enemy. Believe and be healed in Jesus Name! Do not accept the lies of the devil at any point! Power and authority is what the Lord is calling us to operate in. In Jesus Name, Rebuke all sicknesses and disease and any other attacks that the enemy will try to come against you with!

Day 25 Roman 5:3-5

 “Through All Trails!”
.
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us-they help us learn to endure. And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” (Roman 5:3-5)
.
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us-they help us learn to endure.” I, like many people, come against many obstacles in this life. I used to get frustrated at the situation and it seemed like when I would conquer one trail then another would be placed right in front of me. But through every situation, there was a lesson to be learned, for trails help us endure and not only that, we are called to rejoice! This may sound foreign to most people, but God calls us to praise him through the storm! The reason why we do this is to build who we are in Christ, “And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation.” It is through trails that we are not weakened, but strengthen in the Lord and brought even closer to our salvation in Christ. For trails and tribulations aren’t meant to break you down; it is an opportunity for us to rejoice and praise God who delivering us!
.
“For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.” We are never alone in this battle. The Holy Spirit was promised to us from Jesus as one who would be with us always. I know sometimes we feel alone in this fight and we are suffering from day to day, but take heart! Seek The Holy Spirit to fill your heart with love, because when you have Love, you understand how much God really does cares for you through all trails and tribulations/

Day 23 John 3:5-8

“Is Water Enough?”

“Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of Water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again.” The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”(John 3:5-8)

.

“Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of Water and the Spirit.” When speaking about John, Jesus said that he was the greatest man ever born from a woman. This by any means is a great honor for anyone to have bestowed upon them, But Jesus also said that John was the least of men who would come after him. So, you may ask how does someone who is the greatest of men ever born and then consider the least after him? For John Baptized by water for the forgiveness of sins, but Jesus; whose scandals John was not even fit to tie, came to baptize us in the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that is much greater than the water baptism. As for John, he was considered the least of men because he died prior to receiving that promise from Jesus. “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit.” It is only by the Spirit that you will receive the Baptism of the Spirit.
.
“You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again.” The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” Understand, to be truly born again, you must be baptizing in the Holy Spirit. There is truth and revelation that man can not receive unless he has been born again. Let’s not limit our thinking to believe that water is enough. If forgiveness of sins was all that we needed, then John would have been to the greatest of all men, but even he know that Jesus would come with another baptism. The light shall open your pathway to a greater understanding of God’s Word.

Day 12 John 2:3-10

“The first Miracle, Jesus Power Over The Laws of Nature”
 
“ When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.”  His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”(John 2:3-10)
 
Gods’ faithfulness has brought us into a new year and a new season, for we should count ourselves among the ones who he does love. For such a time as this, He has appointed and anointed a generation to work signs in his name beyond our imagination. With this being a new year and the appointment given unto me, I have committed my life to writing what the Lord says unto me to the world. There is power in the Name of Jesus and say this not for lip service, but the manifestation that follows.
 
“Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.” Before I get into this, I am going to say something, I was praying one night and the Lord spoke to me. God said, “A thousand Pauls’ could never replace one Jesus.” So much in one statement, my mind could not open fathom the deep upon deep in which was spoken to me. We have had many great men and women in the bible to call forth as leaders, but Jesus came to show us the way.
 
We are called to follow Christ, thus we are called Christians. If the Model is Jesus, then lets Jesus be our guide. Many People have many interruption of the Word of the Lord. But when I read that Jesus turn waters chemical make up into another substance, I can no longer claim ignorance of the fact. I have only two decisions before me, Believe that I shall follow His steps or say not I Lord.
 

Point Blank, I have chosen to follow. I have chosen to believe that when Jesus said there will be those who will come after him that will do greater and we must take this stance if we are to believe we are those called to do greater works than turning water into wine. The Lord is calling out those who have are called to work these Miracles. I am unashamed in what the Lord has spoken and will continue to post the Power of Jesus. Now is the time to rise and come out of the desert.

Day 7 Luke 9:1-6

“The Healing Ministry”

“One day Jesus called together his twelve apostles and gave them power and authority to cast out demons and to heal all diseases. Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the coming of the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. “Don’t even take along a walking stick,” he instructed them, “nor a traveler’s bag, nor food, nor money. Not even an extra coat. When you enter each village, be a guest in only one home. If the people of the village won’t receive your message when you enter it, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave. It is a sign that you have abandoned that village to its fate.” So they began their circuit of the villages, preaching the Good News and healing the sick.” (Luke 9:1-6)
.
“When I read this, I am reminded of whose Name has True power. It was before Jesus sent His disciples out to preach the Word that He first anointed them with Power and Authority. This Promise extended to all those who receive the Baptism of Jesus. Now, I don’t know about you, but this should set a fire within you that should never go out! We have been given Authority over every sickness and disease and called to cast out not one, not two, but all demons in Jesus Name!
.
“Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the coming of the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” These mighty men were not only called to preach about the power of God, but to show signs and wonders to accompany them. It seems that in this day and age, most people are so eager to preach the Word, but when it comes to signs of wonder, most people are cautious to act on. We have to have Faith in God’s Word and when it comes time to spread The Gospel, we have to believe without a doubt that these signs will accompany us. “So they began their circuit of the villages, preaching the Good News and healing the sick.” The healing ministry of The Lord has never changed. We are called to preach, cast out demons and heal the body of Christ. The Lord has called us to do great things, but these things will not be done if we do not seek to the fullness of The Lord.
