LIVE FOREVER
When’s the last time you asked God what He wanted?
A person may have many ideas concerning God’s plan for his life, but only the designs of God’s purpose will succeed in the end. – Proverbs 19:21 (TPT)
The path is simple to follow when it’s uncomplicated. Don’t complicate God’s plans. It’s not for you to put Him under your plans, but for you to get under His plans. The only way to truly do that is by surrendering and submitting everything to Him. If you don’t rush it, God will show you.
There’s difficulty in following what you don’t even recognize. God’s aim, as always, is to draw the very best out of you; but you must pay attention to what He’s showing you. Recognize what He wants you do so you can respond properly. You can’t be regular walking in revelation.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. – Ephesians 5:17
When’s the last time you asked God what He wanted? If the Lord is your shepherd then you should have no wants. Say: Father, what do you want? When His will becomes your obsession is when all the pieces of your life start lining up. Just yield to what He reveals.
The man or the woman who does the will of God lives forever.
The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. – 1 John 2:17 (NIV)
Your will has a certain life span but God’s will is perpetual. Be done with your will and do His will.
Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done. – Luke 22:42 (AMPC)
THE END
He already knew.
The way you start is important, but the ability to finish is crucial. Can you close the show? There’s no greater closer than Jesus and because of Him, it’s finished when you start. You know how it’s going to turn out before you even begin. God wasn’t surprised by the greatness that turned out on day six — He already knew.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. – Jeremiah 29:11
What end are you expecting? Is it the same thing and same way that God is expecting? Divine (The Vine) expectations have no other option than to produce exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think. God calls His shot in the beginning and never misses.
This kind of trust calls for more drawing. The closer you draw to Him the more He draws out of you. It makes it easier to do whatever He tells you to do. Know that God is calling His shot. When wine is needed and beaucoup people need to eat – He already knew how it was going to end up.
Don’t trip, God knows how this is going to end for you.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. – Galatians 6:9
Hear this: where you depend determines your end. Systems will fail but the Kingdom won’t ever; that’s good news. Getting to the end is really the discovery that there’s always more; that’s good success. The end is up.
Say: I am going to another level.
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. – 1 Corinthians 2:9-10
Let the Holy Spirit take you in the deep end – higher and deeper.
LOADED WITH FRUIT
Everything you receive in earth comes directly from heaven.
You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I Am], He may give it to you. – John 15:16 (AMPC)
In the name of Jesus, you’re loaded with supernatural fruit. Receive that truth now. Everything you receive in earth comes directly from heaven. Being chosen sounds cool until that responsibility is realized. You must accept, honor and position yourself to always receive from heaven.
Once you get in position – simply hold it. The ability to hold your position determines your producing power. You must stay committed to your connection to produce perpetual fruit. Connection changes everything. There’s no other way for you to be a fruit loop.
Connection is everything. We’re not talking about artificial fruit, but real fruit in your life. The Holy Spirit is the carrier of all fruit and teaches you how to always carry fruit wherever you go. Remember, you’re loaded. Stay in that position by creating greater intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
Fruitful people must beware of fruit flies. They always know when and where to pop-up on you. Don’t let anybody sweet talk you out of your spot. You get to a place that no matter what you do, you prosper. You’re relying on the Holy Ghost; you’re staying connected with Jesus.
I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing. – John 15:5 (MSG)
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalm 1:1-3
THE VERY PICTURE OF HEALTH
Because of what Jesus did on the cross, you have a divine right to be healthy in your spirit, soul and body.
Your health is important to God, therefore it should be important to you. The way He created you is the same way He wants you to live the fullness of your life – healthy. Because of what Jesus did on the cross, you have a divine right to be healthy in your spirit, soul and body.
That means your total man can and should be healthy. So there’s this great invitation made by Jesus in Matthew 11 to anyone who is heavy. Your soul plays a huge role in your health. Say: I am healthy and not heavy. Trauma, depression, suicidal thoughts, fear are all far too heavy.
Jesus wants to exchange your heavy for His light. He promises to give your soul rest if you come, connect and learn of Him. That is unlimited access to health along with having the mind of Christ. Your soul must be in a free position to be able to bless the Lord. Pull these words out of the beginning of Psalm 103.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. – Psalm 103:2-5
Wow! What a blessing. You cannot taste destruction when you have the Lord forgiving you, healing you, redeeming you, crowning you and satisfying you. When people see you they should be seeing health personified just as Jesus is the Word personified. Your health glorifies God.
But even then an angel could come, a champion — there are thousands of them! — to take up your cause, A messenger who would mercifully intervene, canceling the death sentence with the words: ‘I’ve come up with the ransom!’ Before you know it, you’re healed, the very picture of health! – Job 33:23-25 (MSG)
Now here are five keys for you to walk in health or to bring you back to health: nourishing, cleaning, repairing, replenishing and rebuilding.
Say: I am healthy in every way and I am prospering every day.
JOY OFF THE CHARTS
Joy is a divine advantage that has been given to you.
Joy starts with Jesus. He wants you to experience life the same as Him and joy is key in doing so. That’s because it isn’t predicated on what happens but is rooted in your connection with the Source of Life. Joy is a divine advantage that has been given to you.
I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! – John 15:11 (NLT)
Say: I am filled with joy and my joy is overflowing. There’s no coincidence that this kind of joy is the meat right in the middle of a love sandwich. Love is the source of all joy. So joy isn’t regulated to just a feeling but a way of being. It’s in Him we live, move and have our being.
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. – Romans 15:13
The joy is His and the peace is His; but He grants it to you as you live in His presence. “Be still and know that I am God.” In stillness is subtle and intense joy that is beyond words and full of glory. Your life is meant to be lived in an abundance of joy.
Your joy should consist of these five characteristics of God’s sovereignty: greatness, power, glory, victory and majesty. Thanks be to God who is the Lord of heaven and earth; which always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus. It is because of Him that we can ask anything according to His will and the will be done.
WISE INVESTMENTS
For every bad investment you made, His grace is sufficient.
There’s no greater or wiser investment you can make in this life aside from your time with the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The amount of time invested with Him is a seed. What type of return do you expect that will yield?
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. – 2 Corinthians 13:14
People often say that time is the one thing we don’t get back in life, but with God you do. For every bad investment you made, His grace is sufficient. He’s the redeemer or restorer of “lost” time. You can get no greater compensation package anywhere else.
Time you would’ve lost doing something else – you gained by giving it to Him. He knows the plans that He has for your life. So stay acquainted with Him and see all the good that comes to you. Don’t lose your soul trying to profit, instead lose your life in Him and watch how much you prosper.
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. – Ephesians 5:15-17 (NLT)
So if time is your greatest asset, then what better place to invest it than in the presence of God. That includes everything you do. Stay aware of His presence and always be in constant communication with Him. Let everything catalyze you into the presence of God.
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. – Colossians 3:23-24
STEWARD SEARCH
Are you ready to go to another level in life and in the spirit?
Are you ready to go to another level in life and in the spirit? One word: stewardship. This is one of the greatest keys in life. What are you doing with the things God has already given you? Stewardship determines every level.
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. – 1 Corinthians 4:2
Remember, everything that you have belongs to God and stewardship is the key that unlocks more. As a steward, faithfulness isn’t a request but a requirement. Are you convinced that it is finished through Jesus? You must be found as someone who trusts in God’s promises.
In John 10:10, Jesus says “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Who is “they” in this verse? Stewards! He’s checking your stewardship game to make sure it hasn’t been stolen or squandered away.
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? – Luke 12:42
He’s searching. Who then will He find to increase? Are you the faithful and wise steward? The more responsible you are the more opportunities you get. Don’t rob yourself. Be expecting major promotions.
INNER & OUTER CHRIST
The inner Christ fuels the outer Christ.
But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. – 1 John 2:27
Firstly, we have the inner anointing. The scripture says that this anointing “abideth in you.” It is for you and your personal life. It prevents you from being deceived or led another way. The inner anointing reminds you who are and teaches you how to live in this life.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. – Luke 4:18-19
Secondly, you have the outer anointing. The outer anointing is for you to function in your calling. Jesus emphatically proclaims that the Spirit is upon Him and has anointed Him to carry out specific initiatives. Never discount your calling; you’re anointed for it.
There should be nothing wreaking havoc in your personal life and nothing preventing you from walking boldly in your purpose. The anointing is given to remove the burdens and destroy the yokes. Be anointed afresh today. God not only sent you but He gave you what you need to succeed.
God is an advanced planner. He has you here reading this today for a reason. Christ said it in church but He then went out in the world to fulfill it. The inner Christ fuels our outer Christ. You are sent here to be a culture changer. Let the inner light conduct the outer darkness.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. – Philippians 4:13
Say: The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
IP: INTERRUPTED PATTERNS
God will interrupt patterns because He is positioning you for another level.
God will interrupt patterns because He is positioning you for another level. He will interrupt your ways to give you His ways. So don’t allow yourself to get stuck in your patterns and conclusions when God is ready to promote you.
“Routine is a robber of fresh.” – Apostle Leroy Thompson, Sr.
In Exodus God gives Moses a pattern to extract water from a rock, and in Numbers He interrupts that pattern in order to promote him – from striking to speaking; from knocking to unlocking; from labor to favor. Sadly, Moses got stuck in a previous pattern. Pay attention and recognize when God is replacing former with fresh.
God’s pattern is based on revelation. His voice is giving you a divine pattern that cannot be stopped. That means getting out of the comfort and control of your normal patterns. Stop walking in routine with God and start walking in revelation with God.
Your road led by a pathway through the sea—a pathway no one knew was there! – Psalm 77:19 (TLB)
“A pathway no one knew was there!”, including you. He will show you what no one else can see. Who knew that walking on water was a thing? God did. He will give you a path across the sea with no need of ship. In Mark 6, it says that Jesus walking would’ve passed by the disciples rowing – with them having a head start.
Normal patterns don’t mean much to God. Instead of saying ABC, He may say AJZG. He will interrupt your lil’ normal patterns because they can even interrupt your anointing. So exchange routine for revelation today. You have access to the plans, paths, and patterns of God. Your internal protocol (IP) is revelation.
ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN, ONE FOOT IN EARTH
You are designed to live the same life as Jesus – living the days of heaven upon the earth.
And He said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. – Luke 11:2
You are designed to live the same life as Jesus – living the days of heaven upon the earth. This is fulfilled by standing with one foot in heaven and one foot in earth at the same time. Heaven is already here because heaven is future and present tense.
As in heaven, so in earth. Say: All authority is given to me in heaven and in earth. With this authority, you can call those things in heaven and they must show up in earth. Allowing whatever is happening in heaven to happen in earth. Let heaven take over your environment.
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. – Matthew 28:18
Who told you that you couldn’t be in two places at one time? Christ may have came to earth but He also never left heaven. Right now, your life is in heaven and heaven is in your life. There is no difference in where you reside because of where you abide. You are the place where God dwells. As in heaven, so in earth.
IGNORANCE ISLAND
The lifestyle that your shepherd wants you to have and enjoy is full of abundance.
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). – John 10:10 (AMPC)
Abundance is here now. The lifestyle that your shepherd wants you to have and enjoy is full of abundance. But one of the biggest thieves of this heavenly lifestyle is ignorance, which is a sign of immaturity. In Ephesians 4, it describes ignorance as a device used to separate you from the life that God has for you. When ignorance is removed all abundance will be released.
In some cultures, certain drinks are intentionally poured until they overflow. It’s symbolic of generosity with a desire for the recipient to have abundance come in their life. The objective of the pourer or host is to ensure your enjoyment by never allowing your cup to be empty.
God is the pourer and is saying that He wants you to have as much as you desire. God can’t run out. So yield your cup to Him and watch Him keep outpouring and overflowing. When He finds someone yielding, the blessings must flow. Therefore the more you yield, the more He fills. Let Him overflow you again and again and again.
Say: My cup runneth over.
And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. – 2 Corinthians 9:8 (AMPC)
TRAVELING THROUGH WASTELANDS
God wants to do something fresh in your life right now.
Say: God can get anything from anywhere at anytime through anybody to me.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. – Isaiah 43:19
God wants to do something fresh in your life right now. The truth is that you’ve accepted some things you shouldn’t have accepted. And that’s okay because it ends today. All bleakness, all barrenness, all blindness ends in your life today.
The senses can’t see what the Spirit of God sees. Therefore the easiest way to travel through the wastelands of this world is to be led. The shortcut is Jesus. There are wastelands all around you, but yielding allows you to be escorted to greater places.
There’s a divine turf that’s waiting on you. God is there waiting on you. Don’t get distracted or discouraged by the way things look on the outside. God said, “I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” A place where no rivers or life had previously been experienced, He’s sending you to it.
You are going to another level. The word says that out of your belly shall rivers of living water flow. God will fructify you in the wastelands and the wastelands through you. Just like He told Abram to go to a land that He would show him, believe that God is ready to show you.
You are in the right place at the right time. God has been reserving and preserving this place for you. Trust God’s direction and His timing. You’ll be light walking heavy through the wastelands always springing forth.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. – John 12:27
You are being escorted to places you’ve never been before in the realm of the spirit and life. Get ready because the time is now. “I want to do it now. Not later, but now.” says the Lord. It’s time for a supernatural takeover.
GOD'S SIGNATURE
You are designed to bring heaven to earth because you are the very nature of God.
God lets us, His children, be Him in the earth. He has given us His patterns of production that cannot be stopped. Inherently He has given us His nature. You are a sign of God’s divine nature. You are designed to bring heaven to earth because you are the very nature of God. In Him, you are infinitely greater than you think.
The nature of God is a demand for perfection meaning maturity, purpose and completeness. He wants you living and functioning as Him – incapable of producing anything other than the supernatural. So it’s important not to make any moves without God’s signature.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. – Isaiah 55:11
The Word carries the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Life which is the nature of God. So when you speak, God is signing off on what you say. That’s why when you decree a thing, your divine nature is being released on what God has promised. You are agreeing with what God has already decided. Glory to God.
There are 3 major marks of God’s signature: enlightenment, empowerment and endorsement. Enlightenment is when God turns His light on in you. (Gen 1:3) Empowerment is receiving God’s power and authority. (Lk 9:1) Endorsement is when He signs off on it. (Mt 3:17) Say: Divine strength is moving in me now.
Just because you’ve gotten the enlightenment doesn’t mean it’s time to move. Time isn’t a factor, timing is the factor. The power and authority to carry it out is necessary with knowing what to do. It’s not about coming up with your own thing and then asking God to sign off on it. Let the ease of His will be done in you.
Acknowledge your identity daily knowing the nature of God is a demand for love. Perfect love casts out all fears. Love never fails. The greatness that is in love is the greatness that is in you. You were created to live the same life getting the same results as Jesus.
Say: Lord, thank you for my brother Jesus. May I live in the power of His genius and the grace of His Spirit.
OLD PATHS
Just because it’s new to you doesn’t mean it’s new to God. The Way has never changed and never will change.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. – Hebrews 13:8
What is a pathfinder? It is defined as a person who goes ahead and discovers or shows others a path or way. So we can summarize it as one who finds a path, meaning the path already exists. The same goes with revelation. Just because it’s new to you doesn’t mean it’s new to God. The Way has never changed and never will change.
There were many paths created long before you discover them. Scripture tells us that there is nothing new under the sun. Old paths can lead to new places. The Way to your health already exists. Let’s find the paths and show others.
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. – Jeremiah 6:16
God has already created the paths to your health. If you need wisdom on what paths to take then ask the Holy Spirit and He will reveal them to you. But don’t be like the people in this verse that refuse to walk the paths that God shows you. Come up to His high ways and be satisfied with long life.
Know that age has nothing to do with health. In Genesis, Joseph asked his brothers how their old man was doing “and they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive.” (Genesis 43:27-28) If you are alive, young age or old age, then God wants you healthy and thriving. Don’t let your age slow you down from following God’s paths to health.
Even in old age they will still produce fruit and be vital and green. – Psalm 92:14 (TLB)
The old paths are My paths. They are My Way to perpetual health in your life. I have not changed My mind about you. Did I not say your latter would be greater? Expect to live in abundant health all the days of your life because this is how I’ve planned for you to live. – GOD
OUR PRAYER
Jesus gave us His blueprint for prayer.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
In Matthew 6:9-13, Jesus gave us His blueprint for prayer. It’s not just for Him because He gave it to us. So anytime you’re praying in any language other than the spirit, then this is the prayer or the blueprint for prayer.
God is already everywhere so He doesn’t have to go anywhere. He was up before you got up. He was there before you got there. He already knows what you have need of before you even ask Him. Yield to His will being seen and expressed through you. God is faithful.
THE PERFECT PATH
Every path is different, but every path has purpose.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. – Psalm 119:105 (AMPC)
Enjoy the journey. Maybe that’s a bit too cliché but it’s the truth. Every path is different, but every path has purpose. You can’t compare your path to anyone else’s path because you don’t know where the paths are leading. You don’t know the fullness of what you’re here to do.
Sometimes you reject your path because it’s not what you wanted or would’ve chosen. You may not understand it, but there’s no risk of failure with God. Some paths consist of pitfalls, unexpected events, deep ruts, setbacks, routines, disappointments and resistance. But know this, everything on the path happens for a reason.
Your path is what prepares you.
So seek God no matter what it costs you. Seeking God is what puts you on the path. Without Him, you’re just wandering. To fully be on this path you will be completely taken out of your comfort zones. There will be significant invitations that are extended to you. Yes, YOU. Embrace the adventure.
In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. – Proverbs 3:6 (AMPC)
Trust God on your path. Who trained David to face Goliath? Do you remember the pit and prison in the dreams of Joseph? You are often unaware of why certain things are happening for you, but count it all joy because they are preparing you. There are certain things that no man will be able to train you in or teach you. So trust the path He has you on. The cross is your path to life.
The perfect path is God’s will for us.
You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. – Psalm 16:11 (AMPC)
UNDENIABLY FREE
The Lord is in the business of burden exchange. When you give Him what’s heavy to you, He takes it and gives you what’s light for Him.
Only when you are unburdened are you undeniably free.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. – Psalm 68:19
The Lord is in the business of burden exchange. When you give Him what’s heavy to you, He takes it and gives you what’s light for Him. In order for you to constantly be loaded with the benefits, you have to unload the burdens. You have to make room for the many benefits by getting rid of what’s weighing you down.
Some things you may not even consider as burdens or heavy, but anything that’s not adding is taking away. If it’s not adding to your faith, your joy, your peace, your love, then unload it. Sometimes it’s cargo on your ship that you don’t even know you’re carrying. It may be a person that’s a stowaway in your heart.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. – Isaiah 10:27
The Holy Spirit will show you what needs to be unloaded if you ask Him. You are already blessed but don’t let the burdens block the benefits. Let’s remove and destroy these blockers now. In the presence of the Father is where you grow more free.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. – Matthew 11:28-30
Life is easy when you’re light and free. So on daily basis, make room for more. God wants your life to be fully loaded lacking nothing. Say, “Lord thank You for making me undeniably free just like Jesus — that the enemy has nothing in me.”
PRIORITY LIFTING
Priority opens up privileges and promotions. As a son or daughter of God, You’re called to be a level breaker just like Jesus.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. – John 12:32
When you look at Jesus’ life on earth, you’ll see that He was always breaking levels. Things that others feared, He not only welcomed but conquered. He always knew how to shift gears. How was He constantly able to do this?
When Jesus speaks, the words have so many different layers. He makes what seems to be a simple statement about His crucifixion, but is also showing us a lifestyle pattern. There is a connection between lifting and drawing or attracting that we cannot miss.
The power of grace attraction resides in you and in your assignment through Christ. The shifting is in the lifting, so make it a priority to lift your assignment. Priority opens up privileges and promotions. As a son or daughter of God, You’re called to be a level breaker just like Jesus.
Lifting your assignment always unlocks another level.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. – Matthew 6:33
Lift your assignment, your calling, your purpose, and the levels will come to you.
EVERYTHING FLOURISHING
In every area of your life you shall flourish, and grow, and produce good fruit.
But the godly shall flourish like palm trees and grow tall as the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted into the Lord’s own garden and are under his personal care. Even in old age they will still produce fruit and be vital and green. This honors the Lord and exhibits His faithful care. – Psalm 92:12-15 (TLB)
God is faithful to flourish.
Shall flourish removes the possibilty of you (the righteous) having any other outcome. In every area of your life you shall flourish, and grow, and produce good fruit. God will see to it as He watches over you to perform it.
He will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of life. He is never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever prosperous. – Psalm 1:3 (TPT)
I have always wanted for you to be extremely blessed. As long as you stay acquainted with Me in My presence. Every area of your life on the increase, lavishly prospering in my goodness. You won’t have to worry about forgetting Me if you don’t leave Me. – GOD
Wow! Remember that you’re not just planted but you’re rooted and fruited too. What a life God has designed for you. The script says that you’re still producing, still growing, still thriving, even in old age. We’ll talk about that more in the coming days.
Look at your life and see everything flourishing now.
THE TUB IS TOO SMALL
The tub is not big enough for your calling.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 3:13-14
Don’t soak or sulk in your mistakes.
A mistake simply means that you took the wrong thing. Now Jesus tells us what we should take when He tells us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him. (Matthew 16:24-26)
All your mistakes are on the cross.
Mistakes can be a heavy burden to carry. Release your mistakes to God and watch how light you are. It’s extra baggage that you were never designed to carry in the first place. See how quickly His love floods every part of your being.
Release your mistakes to God.
When swelling and pride come, then emptiness and shame come also, but with the humble (those who are lowly, who have been pruned or chiseled by trial, and renounce self) are skillful and godly Wisdom and soundness. – Proverbs 11:2 (AMPC)
Don’t bathe in the past, swim in the future. The tub is not big enough for your calling.
