Does He Know You

A person merely profession Jesus Christ does not mean that we are going to inherit salvation. Many of us think that because we attend church that is enough. Matthew 7:21 tells us that only him who shall do the will of our Father which is heaven will enter into the kingdom of God. At some point, something inside of us have to die so that we can operate in the power of God's name. When you say know him it means a two way situation. We must know God to be obedient to him. There are some things in your life that cannot come to the otherside into your destiny.

The knowledge of Christ has to increase in you so that you can hear and know the voice of God. Your emotional fit cannot cross over. Read Numbers 2o:7-11. God spoke to Moses but because of Moses' anger he was disobedient to God and missed out on the destiny and purpose of God. God is going to use you because his people need what you need but he is tired of working around our mess just to bless his people. Moses represents an issue that is all of us that needs deliverance. Sometimes we get so disconnected with God that he doesn't even recognize us. Sometimes you might get to your life with a defining moment, depending upon your position with God it will determine if you go the way of the world or the way of God. There are some stubborn areas in our life that if God tries to deal with it, we try to rationalize why behave the way that we do. For God to know us, he has to approve our of lifestyle in him. If God does not approve of your lifestyle, you are outside of his will.

Does Jesus know you and do you know him in your situation not just church. Do you trust in the Lord. God is always pulling us closer and closer to him. Get into the intense love with Jesus. Whatever was afflicting you, if you get into the presence of God, then everything will have to leave.

When we hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth (referenced Deuteronomy 28). God is wanting to do some supernatural manifestation to overtake you with his blessing. We ought to live off the proceeding word of God. God designed the blessings so that we can stay connected to him for a proceeding him. At some point you have to follow a proceeding word from God. We as Christians have to mature in the Spirit. Many of us are up for Spiritual promotion and keep falling short.

We want the Lord to bless everything we touch in this season we are in. There has to be a product in the economy system for the consumer to purchase to make a profit. As Christians, we have to position ourselves to obtain the world's money. Product is something produced. It is produced by raw materials to provide something that other people need. It has to become liquid or cash beyond what your job can provide. To produce means to give birth, or rise or expand. The product is you being extended beyond your mindset, insecurities, fear, and abilities.

God is our creator but he uses some thing to manufacture what he needs from us. He uses trials to serve as the manufacture. You are the product of your trials designed by God. Many of you didn't really pray, read your word, or even trust God until your trials came. Your victory will be birth through the trials that you experienced in life. Trial is designed to produce a product that the kindgom need. If it was not for the trial, you would not have any character, anointed, or wisdom. Even if the trial hurts, there is a goal and purpose for them. Your faith is a product of your trial. In John, Jesus is considered the Lord of the Harvest. You are in a season in your life where you are going through trials but these trials are designed to blind you in humility. There is a harvest of people, you are on a tree of suffering, but God will pluck you because you are ripe and sweat. The spiritual and natural has to come together and placed in the market place. This will cause a relocation in your life. This relocation is because of the particular product that Jesus has to feed his people.

When you take care of the spiritual the natural will line up. If God is trying to position you in the market place so that people can feed of what is inside of you that was produced from the trials of your life, then he desires that you use the product for his people. Your situation is an opportunity for God to show up in your life. If you are a product of God, then he will keep you blessed.

Another Level in Prayer

We read in Acts 12 that Peter was arrested by Herod and put in prison but while the church was praying, the Guards had to be rendered helpless, the doors had to unlock by themselves, he passed by the streets and Peter was set free. The very thing that has been holding you captive, when you pray that very thing God is going to turn it around so that you can have dominion over it. Many of Christians are walking in anti Christ ways. God has called us to love and we are walking in hate.

You have to pray without ceasing because eventually your prayer is going to touch the heavens. There are angels that have been assigned to deliver you and to stop what the enemy was doing but you are not praying. Your own prayer life has to be processed and developed. Stop allowing the world to dictate how you are going to communicate with God. There are some supernatural things that we are not ready to embrace. When Peter appears to the people who were praying for him, they did not believe at first that it was him. Oftentimes, we are so defeated in our prayer that we don't know how to receive God's victory. But Peter understood the importance of returning to the people who prayed for him and he encouraged them that God heard their prayer.

Some of us, need to reflect on the victory that was won by prayer. If you don't establish any victory in prayer, you are not going to pray. God has spoken some visions to you but you are not praying over them. As a result, God is not able to activate them. It is required in God that whatever he provides to you be established in prayer. Prayer is free. When you pray, you draw your spirit to God's Spirit closer considering the will of God for your life. The next dimension of prayer, is when you are available and God sees something that he desires in his world. When give you an assignment in the earth realm, there is another level of authority that is assigned with it. When you speak, creation lines up with comes out of your mouth and then there is manifestation. We have to position ourselves to shift in prayer. Make yourself available to God in prayer. Be obedient to pray whenever God tells you and your prayer becomes a lifestyle, now your assignments will increase. God in Heaven will see your consistency in prayer. Your assignment needs another level of God's power. You will start walking in manifestations which you spoke in prayer.

What You are Going Through is an Opportunity for God

God is an opportunist. An opportunist is someone who takes opportunity or situations without the regard for consequences. Nevertheless, opportunity is the good place for advancement. There are situations to you that are devastating, but to God it is an opportunity. God does not have regard of feelings but he is looking for opportunity. You must understand that the Devil is an opportunist too. The very thing that you are going through is your cross that you have to carry. In the process of carrying your cross you have to know how to warfare against the Devil. In the book of Job, Satan seeks permission of God to remove the hedge of protection around Job in every area. Imagine the hedge of God being lifted and you don't feel the presence of the Lord around you. Jesus too did not feel the presence of God on the cross but he continued to press through and be obedient to his assignment.

God loves for his servants to establish victory without him. God loves for you to grow up and be responsible in the spiritual realm. God was pleased with Job's situation when Job resisted the Devil and defeated him. God is always pleased when you and I resist the Devil and defeats him. In Job 42, God gave Job a double of what he had. In the midst of everything that he was going through, he trusted God and received double. Even Solomon in all of his wisdom and understanding had to lean on other understanding to go through life and deal with the demonic. Luke 10: 17 tells us that the seventy followed the instructions of God and saw miracles. In verse 18, Jesus tells them that he beheld Jesus fall from Heaven like lightning.

In the Old Testament if someone had a demon, the person was killed but the demonic spirit lived on. In the New Testament, Jesus dealt with casting the demonic spirit out but saved the person. Jesus talks to the Father and thank him for hiding to the wise and prudent and reveals it unto the babes. Jesus understood that God liked that his servants receive victory over the Devil. God did not want us to suffer as much as Job suffered, so he gave us power over the enemy. We don't have to lose everything to get victory over the Devil. Job did not have the tools to victory the Devil but we do. Many of you are in some situations, and it seems that you are losing everything but God is going to use this opportunity for you to defeat the Devil. God is on your side and wants you to win. God wants that power he has given us to manifest. He is pleased when we have victory over the Devil.
