- When you look into the mirror, that is the law, and all that you see is your faults, flaws and lack; you are looking in the wrong place. You are looking at death, the law has no power to change you. If the law was able to create change and perfection, Jesus would not have had to do die.
- When God speaks, He does not waste words. His words are meant to bring you into His life. It is God that calls things that be not as though they were.
- When we began to discover and embrace our place we caused an expansion of the space that we function in. We are no longer constricted and bind by rules religion and tradition.
- As priests of God we must begin to call that which is “there” fourth.
- By placing your faith in Christ, you are having the scales removed, the eyes of your heart are being enlightened, the spirit of wisdom and revelation rests on you. You are being made sure, that is, the hidden reality that God brings nothing into existence without finishing it in the counsel of His will. By being in Christ, the first and the last, the all in all, your life is completed for the end result, praise of the Father.
- You are His inheritance, precious, secured by design, all that is needed is for you to believe Him and keep believing. The Father isn’t making up things or inserting fillers for your life or His plan—-IT IS FINISHED!!! Somebody ought to shout…I’ve got it now!
- As we begin to believe in the reality of our oneness with Christ we will also see a difference in our manner of living, and more specifically in our speaking, we will recognize and embrace the importance of not wasting words, in so doing whenever we speak the reality will be evident that we are not only speaking just to ignite faith, but the act of speaking is faith in operation for it is God purposed and God infused … for we speak of what we do not see physically…. we speak of what we know in spirit.
Ephesians 1:4-5 NASB just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will.
- Every speaking brings life into the being of God’s people. The seed that’s planted can and will only grow by faith. When we speak to individuals we have to speak to their soul as if it has already accomplished its transformation, for in reality it has in eternity past…and it will manifest and prevail in time according to its season. We speak of the work of the priest to bring people to God, and how accurate that is–as I am writing, I’m reminded that all the functions of the priest bear confirmation and witness of the finished work, and that’s where the sacrifice of praise comes into play; this praise, the fruit of our lips, the giving of thanks, boldly declares “Your word is forever true and settled” “we thank You for the image of Christ formed within Your people.” Every aspect of the priesthood solidifies the completed work of redemption.
- In addition to this is the work of the apostle, which is very crucial for the fulfillment of God’s economy. The work of the apostle is opposite that of the priest as far as traffic is concerned; the priest takes people to God, the apostle brings God to the people, as a true ambassador…not just in an evangelistic way…but more in the way of transference, through prayer, through laying on of hands, through speaking, through a life of simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ, something of divine virtue is passed on to the recipient. I see this in your life through the spirit, your passion to see lives conformed to the image of Christ is unquestionably firm. So be strong to the end even if the fruit is not evident….your labor is not in vain. As the Lord Jesus has made plain to us, we must give freely every thing He has poured into us.
- Romans 8:18-25 NASB For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
