The Answers To Your Questions

Every day there are questions you want answered, so you seek to find those answers. Sometimes seeking the answers from other people, through books, or personal observation etc. Those are all great ways of getting answers, but the best way yet, is through your seeking God. He holds all the answers to all the questions you will ever have. The great part of this is, he wants you to seek him for the answers, and he delights in giving them to you.  Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." In seeking the kingdom of God, who else will you find other than the King himself? In your discovery of the King, you will also discover the kings ways being carried out in his kingdom, for it is his ways which are the laws of the land. The answers you are seeking are there in his kingdom. Those answers are there for you to know, and learn how to apply them as solutions to your questions.
God has made available to you a free and valuable gift for discovery. This is the gift of wisdom. This is not the wisdom of the world, but His very own wisdom. James 3:17 "But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
Wisdom is made available to you just by asking in faith, knowing that he will withhold no good thing from you. James 1:5-6 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. You've got questions and God has answers to them all, you only need to ask him for wisdom and take him at his word.  

You're A Spiritual Being Having a Natural Experience

 It is my belief that we all struggle in our understanding the depth and magnitude of God's love for us. For his love is so perfect that it is impossible for the human mind to grasp such glorious perfection. 2Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them because they are spiritually discerned." It is this challenge we face daily as believers to walk in the spirit that we not give into the desires of the flesh. The flesh or natural man wants to live and have it's way, but as followers of Christ we must hold to our faith that we are now a new creation, as the natural man has been crucified with Christ, and Christ now lives in and through us. Galatians 2:20 " I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." 

The old nature, the natural man tries continually to rise up from the dead, hoping that we are too distracted to realize that he has risen. There are often times we are caught in this trap of distraction, which takes our eyes off of Jesus our Lord, that we may focus our eyes to the cares of this world, causing us to forget that we are a new being, a spiritual being. 2Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new Creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new."  When we make a choice for Christ, we choose life. That which we walked in before was death, subject to the God of this world. BEHOLD we are a completely new creation in Christ. This means that we have a new way of thinking, talking and acting and it is just like Christ. For it is the very spirit that raised Jesus from the dead that has raised us up also anew, and has come to live in those of us who have chosen life. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."

You are now a Spiritual being having a natural experience just as Jesus was in the earth, so are you. 

Go Up Higher

We make decisions based on the information gathered through our senses and processed in our minds. God is calling us to a higher level of thinking. Philippians 2:5 "Let this mind be in you which also in Christ Jesus." In all that Jesus did, he did according to what he saw and heard with his heavenly Father. John 5:19 "...most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do; for whatever he does, the Son also does in like manner."" We are called to do the same. As followers of Christ, we are to follow Chirst's example.
 Let us not forget Ephesians 2:6 "that we have been raised up together and seated together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Think of how the view changes when you are going up in a plane, or on a ride at a carnival or theme park, which takes you up high off the ground. When you view things at eye level you don't see much beyond what's in front of you, but as you go up higher, you are able to get a better view of what's around you. Your perception changes based on the position from which you are viewing. If we remember that we are seated in heavenly places in Christ, our perception and decisions should change greatly. This is the place we are to make our decisions from, seated up high in the heavenlies, in Christ.
In this position the cares of the world look much smaller than when we viewed them at our earthly eye level.
I encourage you to go up higher and get a better view, therefore being able to make better decisions.

Nothing Unexpected

We all face some difficulties in our lives, and some of those difficulties are access points for the enemies deception.

He may use the pride tactic, having you feel that if anyone knew of your difficulty you would be thought poorly of.

Proverbs 16:18 "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."

Your pride keeps you from seeking wise counsel, or asking for help from others.

Leading you to self destruct. 

He may use the fear factor; having you believe you are the only one who is or has experienced such a thing, leaving you too afraid to seek help.

2Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love, and of power, and of a sound mind."

Don't fall for it, you are not the only one.

I Corinthians 10:13 says "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

There are many tactics the enemy could try and use, but you just remember,

the Lord your God, is with you, and promises never to leave nor forsake you and Luke 10:19 "Behold,I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and NOTHING shall by any means hurt you."

You may say, "I am not worried about being hurt." I say, "Yes you are, you're worried about hurt: feelings, reputation, image, emotional, mental, and or physical pain. BUT GOD says "NOTHING shall by any means hurt you."

You may say, "I am not struggling with temptation, I am struggling with an unexpected and difficult situation."

If you are struggling, and not resting, you are struggling with temptation.

You are being tempted in;  not taking God at his word, in not trusting him whole heartily, in your not acknowledging his presence and willingness to help and direct your paths.

For this may have been an unexpected occurrence for you, but with God, NOTHING is unexpected.

Working Our Faith

God has promised his people many great and wonderful things and all of his promises are true, but why are so many not experiencing the promises?

Have you often wondered about this same thing?

Hebrews 11:6 says "but without faith it is impossible to please Him..."

Is the answer to our question, we are not pleasing to God, because of our lack of faith?

Let's look at this a bit closer. 

The remainder of that scripture Hebrews 11:6 is "...for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

He who comes inquiring of God must first believe that he truly exist, and the more that he seeks to know God, the more he discovers; who, what and how God is.

This discovery of how wonderful, powerful, faithful and awesome he is, is our reward to of faith to trust him more and more.

God wants to be trusted.  It is our faith in his word and knowing his love and faithfulness towards us, that causes the word to be manifest.

You like to be trusted don't you? 

Isn't it amazing, that even those not trustworthy want to be trusted.

Numbers 23:19 says "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do?  Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

God has proven over the ages that he is trustworthy. 

We must have faith in God, which means faith in his word.

John 1:1" In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God."

Our recipe for manifested promises is a mustard seed size faith, mixed with the word, and bunches of love will yield an abundance of life.

So, let's get to working our faith. 

Big Dreamer

You have a dream that seems too big to ever be true.

A dream that is much bigger than anything you've ever imagined before.

A dream which if it were to come true, you wouldn't even know where to begin.

Is it something bigger than you could ever imagine yourself accomplishing, and appears it would take a miracle.

Well it's just those kinds of dreams, the Master gives to special people like you.

So dream big and live a life of expectancy.

The Master wants you to trust him to direct your paths.

When it doesn't seem possible, trust.

When it gets too difficult , trust.

When you know your areas of weakness  and know  you don't have all that it takes, trust.

2Corinthians 12:9 ""...My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.""

The Master has been faithful before, will he not be again?

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths." (NKJV)

Trust him for direction and allow him to direct. 

Which may simply mean Psalm 46:10 " Be still, and know that I am God..."

and trust him step by step for the rest,

Big Dreamer.

Decree It!

When you read or hear the news reports of all the negative things going on around you, your heart can melt in despair, 

but why allow for despair?

Do you not know that within you is the power and authority to create and bring about change?
Galatians 4:4 "... He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." (NKJV)
That's right, IN YOU!
It is written in Genesis 1:26 "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Ouur likeness; let them have dominion ove the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over  the cattle, over all the earth earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." (NKJV) sounds like  power and authority to me.

As if that isn't enough to bring hope to a melting heart Luke 10:19 says " Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over ALL the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (NKJV)

That should do it!

I'd like to share a recipe we'll call the situation, circumstance, atmosphere changing recipe, which has a couple of ingredients that won't cause you to break the bank.
Are you waiting for it?

Take 1 mustard seed of faith, with a mouthful of God's word,  a heart full of love mix well and decree it over the situation, circumstance, and or atmosphere, put it in a Spirit of gratitude, wait patiently but with expectation until manifestation. 

(Bake)Process time may vary.

God knows the exact time which won't be too early or too late.

Galatians 4:4 "But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law."

I hope you are prepared to DECREE it! and see the things of God manifest.
