WALKING WITH PURPOSE

We must understand that Jesus purchased us with his blood and He didn’t do it “just because.” He has a divine mandated purpose on your life filled with the wonders of his love. Don’t allow the enemy to tell you that you’re useless. Christ has great need for you while you’re yet in the land of the living. Can you see the promise? Not with the natural eye but with the spiritual eye…and the eyes of your heart. You must see it. If you can’t, then simply ask the Lord to restore your spiritual vision. You know He heals the blind. He will make provision for the vision. Continue to walk in and by his Spirit. Implement a strategic plan of action to get to the promise and if there are some kinks then the Lord will iron them out along the way at the appointed time. Just keep walking. Don’t stop. Do His will and His purpose…His way. Know that Jesus loves you. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. He made you in His own image and likeness. You’re the apple of His eye. There is no good thing that He will withhold from those that Love and are called according to His purpose. So put on your Holy boldness and confidence, walking in your most Holy faith knowing that Jesus is with you!

We must stand in the positions wherein we were called and protect and defend our promises in Christ. We are not waging war. There’s no condemnation in Christ and without 
Christ one is condemned already. So why wage war on someone who is already condemned. Many of our enemies are on a battlefield all by themselves. We are not there. They fight against us naturally. We fight our battles spiritually.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds;

The war has already been waged against us merely because we are children of the Most High. We must protect and defend…our children…our sisters…our brothers…our mothers…our fathers…our faith…our relationship…our home on high. #PickUpYourWeaponsandFight

There’s a birthright and a blessing and both are in Jacob. Esau has a bondage mindset and way of living without hope of promise.
Though we were born gentiles, thanks be to Jesus that He saw fit to adopt us and call us His own. He’s no respecter of persons. We get the same rights as those that were born into Jacob.
Some may have problems or feel uncomfortable with being adopted in the natural sense, but in the spiritual sense what a privilege it is! We must stay grounded having a great appreciation for such an adoption. We’ve been born again and transferred out of the bloodline of Esau into the bloodline of promise because of the precious blood of Jesus. We can’t have the expectations of Jacob and the mindset of Esau. It just won’t work! Esau had entitlement issues and took his rights and blessings for granted. That which he did have was taken away, then he despised it all. Let us cherish that which we have been given and build upon it seeing what the end will bring. For eyes have not seen, and ears have not heard nor have entered the heart of man the things that God have prepared for them that love Him (1 Cor 2:9). #justsayin #keepbelieving

HOW LONG O’ LORD?

REVELATION 6:10

And they cried with a loud voice , saying , how long, O Lord, Holy and True, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

II Corinthians 10:6

And having a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when  your obedience is fulfilled.

Many cry out, “how long, O’ Lord”, desiring for the Lord to avenge them because of their enemies. This warfare is long and the enemy desires to wear out the saints. At the time appointed our enemies will be moved out of the way and will not be able to block and hinder your ability to do the will and purpose of  Christ. We continue to rejoice that our names are written in the book of life. Endure hardness as a good soldier knowing that the Lord has a readiness to handle all those that trouble us when our obedience is fulfilled. #faithfulisourGod #obedience #endurance

1 KINGS 19:18

Yet have I left me seven thousand in  Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

Sometimes we can get so taken back by our current situations and circumstances and when we’re in the midst of a spiritual storm that we would swear up and down that we were the only ones left and we are the only ones going through these things.

Then you look up to Lord and plead your cause and He shows you that there are in fact several others just like you who He has reserved unto Himself  for such a time as this so that He may get the glory.

Sometimes even the Words of God spoken through the preacher are so real and heart penetrating that we can think we were singled out and that word was just for us. Quite the contrary! The lord feeds the multitudes and yet there are fragments that fall by the wayside which weren’t for your indulgence.

THE LATTER HOUSE

HAGGAI 2:9

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.

Ezra 3:12

But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers who were of the ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy.

Counselors may have been hired to frustrate your purpose, but the foundation has been laid and a solid foundation it is! This house will be re-built and it will be marvelous in our eyes. Some may have seen the first house and do weep for what their eyes see now but we are not the builders. Jesus is!

Isaiah 45:9-10
Woe unto him that striveth with his maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to Him that fashioneth it, what makest thou? Or thy work, he hath no hands?
Woe unto him that saith unto his Father, what begettest thou or to the woman, what hast thou brought forth? 

Jesus is our master builder and carpenter. Let Him build! Rejoice and be exceedingly glad that you’re that house He has chosen! Thank God for second chances…and thirds…and fourths.

It can be difficult to fathom why Jesus loves us so much. Nevertheless, we belong to Him. We have been bought with His precious, pure blood, and He wants what He paid for! Don’t get down on yourself and try to convince yourself that He doesn’t want you. That is falsehood and completely contrary to the Word of God. 
The more your flesh dies you will see how wretched you really are and that there are none righteous. We are all filthy as rags. Yet, there is no condemnation is Christ. This brings the relevance to how real Christ really is…how real His grace is…how real His mercy is. He’s so real!!!
He created you. Before you were formed in the womb, He knew you. Needless to say, He’s a possessive Redeemer. You belong to Him. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. Don’t forget that. Hold on to God’s unchanging hand.

Ephesians 3:16-19
That He would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

We can only imagine how much pain Jesus endured on that ole’ rugged cross, but even before being nailed…the walk. Carrying the weight on his shoulders. What pain…what shame…with every step. How much endurance would it take to finish? How much love would it take to stay up there? The operation of the Spirit must take its course. It wasn’t easy but it was worth it.

When we were redeemed by the blood of  Christ accepting Him as our Lord and Savior, we said yes to the bearing of our own cross. We said yes to the blood, the sweat, the tears, the rejection. We said yes to His will, His purpose, and to His process. To truly deny thyself and lay it all down takes love. Not any type of love. Not the type that the world gives. Not love that’s given by the flesh. An undying love. A timeless love. A love of the Spirit. This love transcends and demolishes every wall, partition, veil, and every obstacle that could separate a child from their parent. A love that can’t be quenched. It endures all things to achieve unity. A Father unified with His children…the body.

Rom 8:17-18

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs of Christ, if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us.

Ask me what I desire of thee and I will tell you. I won't ask for riches. I won't ask for long life. I won't ask for a double portion of your Spirit. What I will ask is that I may be where you are. What I desire is to see your face, to behold your Glory and Majesty. My soul craves you. Ask me what I desire of thee...my ultimate desire. Unity...my desire is to be completely one with you. I can just see all the things we could accomplish if we were one. We'd be unstoppable. We'd be unshakeable...unmoveable. I've seen the chariots of fire and the whirlwind that did separate us for an appointed time. Now do I cry, My Father, My Father; ask me what I desire of thee. Do you hear me shouting? You! It's you! I want all of you. You've made the ultimate sacrifice and now I do the same. I give all of me to be one with you. Take complete reign forever Jesus. This day I remind you of a permanent vow of yes. I say yes to your will, yes to your way and yes to your process.
