HE'LL Do It Again..

 HE'LL Do It Again..


"I am man, nothing human is foreign to me" - Terence

We may be from different tongues, different tribes, different cultures, backgrounds,etc..., nevertheless we bleed the same blood when we're wounded; and we get hungry when we're not fed. It's the same as saying all dogs bark, maybe differently, but they do.  All fishes need water, all birds can fly and all humans need God. Each creature is receptive based on its nature. We have the same basic needs.

2 Timothy 3

Every story in the bible is recorded as an example for future reference. If God delivered someone from an impossible situation, it's an example that you can rest assured HE'LL do the same for you. HE is The Almighty God. HE created the world by just using HIS words. We are but ants in HIS gigantic universe. HE'S got it. HE is it. HE is powerful enough. Plus, HE has also given you the power to overcome it. Luke 10 There's no power or authority in the earth that is greater than the power that God has given to those who walk by faith. The key to the equation is, do you walk by faith? Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11. You must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of them who diligently seek HIM.

CASE STUDY: 

Daniel 3 There were three hebrew men who were captured and being groomed to serve the royalty of their captor.  Their faith caused them to refuse to bow to and serve the gods of their new government. As a result they were thrown into a fiery furnace as an example to others who might choose to do the same. The men were adamant that they would prefer to die than to submit to a faith that was contrary to their beliefs. In the end, a miracle took place. Their God not only showed up in the fire visibly to all, but caused them not to get burnt nor singed by the fire. As a result the king order everyone in the kingdom to surrender to and serve the God of the three men.

What is your fire today? Will you concede to an action that does not line up with your faith for a quick fix? Will you hide behind something/ someone and ignore the truth? Or will you affirm like those three men that your faith is in a God who is real and who delivers. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Greater is HE who is in you than HE who is in the world. Never forget that!  Our God is mighty to save. If HE delivered the hebrew men from a furnace unsinged, HE can and will do the same for you. Trust HIM! Give HIM a chance to prove it. HE'S a miracle working God.  HE has given us so many different examples in the bible.  Remember Samson when God gave him back his strength.  Faith is a heart condition.  It's more than emotions. It's a lifestyle. Jesus was the perfect example.  Over and over HE tried to show the disciples how it was done.

John 14:11-14

11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.


God loves to display HIS power, especially in impossible situations. Are you in an impossible situation today? Will you trust HIM today!

The POWER of Altars..

  The POWER of Altars ....



The Almighty God, the Father is a Holy King.  HE will only permit humans in HIS presence to address HIM in a holy form.  The human nature is automatically sinful/ unholy.  So in order for us to appear blameless/ holy before God, we need Jesus' intervention.  It is our relationship with Jesus that transforms our appearance to the Father. God does not tolerate sin. That's why Jesus, came to earth. HE came as a bridge for mankind. We assume Jesus' holiness in order to enter into God's presence. 

Jesus came as a spirit who inhabited a human body. HE is the only full form of complete human righteousness that has ever appeared in the earth. Hence, for us to appear righteous before the Almighty God we need(ed) to use Jesus as our scapegoat. Light and darkness cannot co-exist. Sin represents darkness. We need to first repent.  The human nature is unholy/unrighteous.   Prior to Jesus' coming to the earth, God accepted sacrifices on an altar from a high priest. Hebrews 9

The business of dominion and power is a complete process. At an altar humans receive and or revoke power and authority. The reason the Hebrew nations were feared in history was because of the power of their 'living' God. It starts with repentance. Romans 8 Repentance includes:

  • Acknowledgement of our sinful human nature
  • Acknowledgement of existence of the spiritual nature
  • Choosing to be dominated by the spiritual nature
  • Inviting Jesus to be Lord of the process 
Genesis 1: 26-30 

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, HE  gave man dominion.  However, the devil tricked man into transferring his dominion rights to him.  As a result man lost dominion.  God sent Jesus into the earth to restore dominion and power to man. But in order for that to happen, we would have to follow the process. 

Jesus, after he returned from the wilderness where he was tempted by the devil; the first thing HE said was REPENT. If you want to be a victor instead of a victim you have to walk in obedience and resemblance to who and what Jesus said and did.

THIS IS THE PROCESS:

  1. Repentance
  2. The Word
  3. Sacrifice
    1. Personal Sacrifice
    2. Sacrifice of Praise & Worship
    3. Prayers (petitions, etc...)
    4. Sacrificial Gift
  4. Prophecy

An altar is like an airport.  It is a place of commuter exchange in the spirit realm.  It is the only point in the earth where a spirit can enter the physical realm through the form of a body. It's a gateway.  It is the most powerful place on earth.  Destinies gain/ lose strength there.  There are two major powers.  The altar of the 'Throne of Grace'  represents good, and the altar of 'sin and iniquity'  represents evil.  Evil altars are a copycat of good altars.  At an altar there is a god who demands acknowledgement and sacrifices in return for power.  The Almighty God is the God of the Throne of Grace, while the devil is the god of sin and iniquity.

The Almighty God is a King, therefore HIS WORD is law.  It is important to know HIS WORD in order to effectively communicate with HIM. God requires repentance from humans for first giving up their dominion (which HE gave them) to the devil.  Romans 10 The only thing that a human has that God did not first give to him is worship.  Everything originates with God.  Because HE has freely given you everything you have, your correct response of acceptance and appreciation must always be one of sacrifice.  Romans 12 God has a protocol.  Everything which HE requires has an outline.  Psalms 100, Psalms 150, Matthew 6, Philippians 4, Proverbs 3, Leviticus 27, etc... When we follow HIS protocol HE gives us HIS revelation by way of a prophecy.   A prophecy is a message that has been communicated to a person by a supernatural entity.  Everything the devil does is a copycat to God.

Once a human takes back his dominion from the devil then he is in right standing with The Almighty God.  He then has more power than the devil based on his reconciliation which Jesus enabled.

Matthew 28: 18

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

It was a serpent who tricked Adam and Eve into giving up their dominion.  Jesus restored dominion over this same serpent.  Matthew 16

Luke 10: 19

"I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and to trample on all the power of the Enemy; and in no case shall anything do you harm.

Matthew 18: 18-20

"Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them".

The only way to live according to the ordinance of God is to walk in obedience to HIS Laws.  1 Peter 2 Man was made to live a fulfilling life full of power and dominion. Altars give power and repentance gives dominion.  Draw nigh unto God and HE will draw nigh unto you. James 4  You cannot serve two masters.  Victory belongs to Jesus.  When HE died on the cross HE declared "it is finished!"Revelation 1  The ultimate power belongs to The Almighty God and HIS children.  It's your choice today.  Take back control!

The Kingdom of God (pt.1)...DOMINATE!

God created man to dominate HIS Kingdom on earth...DOMINATE!

God is supreme over all.  HE created the heavens and the earth. HE gave man power to rule with authority over the territories of the earth.  Man was made in God's image.  An image is a reflection of the original.  Man was made in God's likeness, a 'mini me'. God dominates, and he gave man the power to do the same.  In order for man to dominate, he needed something and somewhere to 'dominate over'.


What is God's command?


Genesis 1: 26 - 29

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

In the beginning God gave man dominion over the earth. God commanded man to rule over everything on the earth and to be fruitful.  In order to be fruitful, then you have to increase and/ cultivate whatever you possess.  Cultivation takes time and good management.  Good cultivation leads to reproduction.  A seed becomes an orchard.  It doesn't matter the size of the seed.  It's the influence that it will have on the soil that matters.  For instance: the significance of the Kingdom of God on earth is for it to have influence in the earth.  Wherever there is a 'hint of Kingdom' there should be influence.  If you represent the Kingdom of God you should be influencing those around you, your territory.


What kind of influence?

Influence is extremely important in the Kingdom of God.  Often times God uses small things and circumstances to cause major differences in different environments.  David used a sling.  Moses used a rod. Yeast, though it is a very small portion that is poured into the dough; silently it works its way through all of it.  Eventually, the increased size and shape of the dough is as a result of the presence of the yeast.  Same as with a mustard seed.  Even though it's so tiny, it grows to become and have a major positive effect in its environs.  So too should the ambassadors and or citizens of the Kingdom of God.  We too must have a positive and enlarging effect on and in the world today.  The places where we live, work and play should be influenced by our presence.

Matthew 13: 31-33

31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”

33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.”

In addition, God also commanded man to multiply and subdue everything under our dominion.  So, if there's disorder or confusion then that simply means that there's a lack of proper control.  You can't control what you don't master, and mastering takes training and experience.  The reason why several things are 'out of control' in our lives is because we've never mastered them to begin with.   God did not leave it up to us to figure out what was the best way to 'reign in the earth'.  Instead HE gave us The Holy Spirit when Jesus left to teach us how to do so properly. READ John 14   At the end of the day it's our choice.  
 
We have to invite The Holy Spirit into our lives and circumstances, much as we entertain any other relationship.  HE guides our decisions correctly, but it's our choice to be obedient.  A lifestyle of obedience to God is the responsibility of every child of God.  Submission to God is for your protection.  Your body needs to be submitted to the spirit. For those who worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth.  READ John 4  One very effective way to bring the physical into submission to the spiritual is through prayer and fasting. Train yourself to master the things you're responsible for; the most important of which is yourself.  Develop self-control.  READ Galatians 5 God has faith in you, or HE wouldn't have given you the opportunity nor charge to rule.  Everything that God expects from you is based on the fact the HE has already equipped you with the necessary tools to accomplish the task.
 
2 Peter 1: 3- 11 
 
 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
 
The question isn't if you can do it, but rather if you will.  Will you dominate the areas of your life where God has planted you?
