Often some of our challenges in life are really opportunities either to see God greatly moving for us, or through us. It is important that we recognize that challenges are really opportunities. It is important how you view things, is it through His eyes or yours?

Jesus was amazing in that when people came to Him, He would ask them a question,"Do You Believe" or challenge them, "If You Believe" or "According To Your Faith So Be It Unto You". We are not only saved from our sins, but we are people empowered to see the supernatural in our lives as often as the opportunity arises.

In any and every situation we can find a song to sing. We can have a song in our heart in the night, the darkest times. King David was always able to kill the giants in the land with a song in the night, because a song was found in his heart.

To be able to live out our faith the way God says we can and should is not possible without first knowing how much He loves us and our value to Him. Who He is and who we are.

Paul said that love was the more excellent way, and the greatest of everything was love. Not having love profits us nothing even if we do good works without love.

Is the next revival we will see in the church, but it will not happen until we cry out wanting holiness in our life. Everything will be shaken that can be shaken but that which cannot will remain. Those who cry out for holiness in there lives will see the blessings of the Lord in the midst of shaking around them.

The missing link in alot of believers is knowing the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. True obedience can happen only once when we know His great love and fall in love. We will see prayers answered when we get a revelation of this great truth and it becomes a part of our life.

So often we do not live liberated because we do not see ourselves as true sons of God, we cannot identify with God as a real Father. Often we live in our old enslaved feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, rather than believing and living in "You are no longer a slave but a son and an heir of God through Christ." Galatians 4. Galatians 5 tells us to stand fast in the liberty in which Christ made us free.

What do we dwell on once the Father has revealed to us Himself and the greatness of our salvation. We have been "Born again". In this comes God's deliverance into "Greatness". 1 Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought at a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

We can have a constant feast at His table Song of Songs 2:4-5. To believe His word we must make a conscious daily effort to do this. In so doing our feast will also be constant.

Romans 8:15 tells us we have not received the spirit of bondage to fear but the Spirit of adoption crying Abba, Father. Our Christianity is not just a ticket to heaven but it is security here daily, with as we live out our sonship with heaven eventually being our home. We do not have to fear.

When you make a decision to believe regardless, you become empowered and go from strength to strength and glory to glory. When you choose not to believe you can count on a power "When he returned he was to go and strengthen his brethren." What can we say we have learned in our times of denial that we can tell others?

Without God breathing life into us we would have no life, therefore we must really ponder, "If He gave me life, what am I doing with it?" After giving us life He set before us a challenge of listening, either to Him, or to the one hiding behind the tree saying "Surely God did not mean what He said". Who are we listening to?

Job is a great example of how to walk through our present situations. He teaches us what it means to reverance God in every and any circumstance. Having personal integrity in relationships is important to be blessed in life, regardless of what we have gone through.

Romans 8:28 speaking of "All things work together for good to those that love the Lord." It is important to let our sufferings bring God's glory into our life. These impossible situations can cause great spiritual growth in our life, if we really believe that all things can work together for our good.

2 Timothy 1:7 states God has not given us a spirit of fear, however many people of God have much fear. If God did not give us this spirit, then where did it come from and where is it operating? Soul depravation will cause us to live in unhealthy fears. There must be a reality in our soul of the Spiritual truths according to the Word of God.

The Bible tells us many things of what He has said, but how much of it do we believe? Jesus over and over again said to many He would "Rise again". When He was seen on the cross, no one really believed what He said but prepared for the natural course of things. He sure fooled them! He was not there.

As son's of God who should our example be today? We learn by example and it is important to assess who we might be using as an example in our life. Do we still hold on to what we learned before we came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, or are we letting the Father teach us His ways?

We have an enemy who is always trying to get us to sin against God, and he can be relentless, and if we do not put our foot down and say no to him and yes to God we will be without any protection. Our protection for life is living within the covenants of God, in covenant relationship with Him.

God only knows one way of relationship and that is by covenant.We were created to operate by and through covenant relationship. We are called into a covenant relationship, that is why it is so important to know the part we play so God can fulfill His word in our life.

God's purpose cannot be altered. Jesus said in John 6:48 "I am the bread of life." Living in convenant relationship with our Father through Christ, is the most amazing life, however understanding covenant relationship is important to be able to fulfill our part.

As Christians we are called to change the culture of all that is not in line with God's Kingdom. To do this we must align ourselves up completely with Him, to be able to do this. It is important to know who we are, why we are here, and live with plan and purpose, that goes beyond yourselves.

Do not think it strange when you have trials, it is a good place to go to the well of your salvation Isaiah 12:2-3 with joy, and begin to draw water. Everything we will ever need is in this well we can draw from. We are modeling a walk of faith coming into intimacy and living in intimacy with Holy Spirit, when we remember there is a well and we can go anytime and draw from it.

John 15:16 states we are chosen and appointed by Him to bear fruit, a fruit that will remain. Acts 22:14-15 When Paul had his first encounter with God, what was told him was this. "The God of our fathers has chosen you, to know His will, to hear His voice, and to be His witness." Would this be something we should pay attention to on our journey through life?

We can loose priviledges by not listening. Your life will be a sum total of how relevant you thought what He said was relevant to you. What Holy Spirit says will not always seem relevant or make sense always, but because He said it we choose to believe what He has said. It is an exciting and only way to live.

It is the will of the Father to raise up a culture of Apostols-Reformers, to change how things should be not how they are at the present. The Father has an idea and a plan specificially for you He wants to download into your life. It is important to pay attention to "What and who will affect you". John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are life. It is time to sing the "New Song" that is being formed in us.

Jesus asked a man who had a physical challenge "Do you want to be made well?" Why do you think Jesus would ask him this question. Staying by the pool where he saw others healed and could not get in himself could have created a lot of negative emotions that when Jesus asked the question he might have not believed who could be made well. We can either become a victim or more committed to seeing a God result. We must be careful how we process daily life from day to day.

Isaiah 58 helps us see how we can receive a return from God, some being 1) Our light will spring forth 2) Prayers will be answered 3) We would be guided continually 4) Our soul would be satisfied in drought 5) Our bones would be strengthened 6) We would be like a watered garden 7) We would be like a spring whose waters would not fail. Listen and learn.

Fighting the good fight of faith together, for others. How God will use you to invest this year. We are called, are we willing to answer the call. Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying "Whom shall I send, and who shall go for us?" then I said, "Here am I! Send me!

God speaks things before they are formed, then He forms it. Abraham understood this when he said in Romans 4:17-22 "God who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;" God even spoke us into being before He formed us out of the dust of the earth. Genesis 1:26-30, Genesis 2:7.

Joshua 6:5...that all the people shall shout with a great shout; the the wall of the city will fall down flat. It is important to believe what God has spoken, and when we act on it we will see divine miraculous power by which inanimate things begin to move. The shout of faith in what God speaks brings a result.

Until we can truly rejoice in our heart (soul) we do not have victory over whatever we are experiencing. To rejoice is the evidence of a true release in the "inner man", that through God we have the victory even before we see it.

Proving the promises of God today; Jesus did not come to take away but add to. The Word of God points us to His Character, and that we can trust His Word, the written and spoken Word. We get to know Him, through simply trusting Him. He will never fail us.

Before crossing over the Jordan, Moses rehearsed important aspects to the children of Israel for success in their future. To see the promises of God fulfilled in their lives was contingent upon them being able to hear and obey. Saul and David were anointed by God through the same Prophet, Samuel, it was the same anointing but their lives had a totally different outcome.Following instructions is important, a matter of success or failure.

Christianity is not a religion but is "I am the world but not of it" The Bible says " This people I have formed for Myself, they shall declare My Praise. Isaiah40:31 says, Those who wait on the Lord...Shall mount up with wings as eagles". The little eagles are being pushed out of the nest and taught to fly. Will you fly to new heights, and new place in God?

Not letting our difficulties get in the way. Stay focused on Jesus. You cannot get negative. When I wake up in the morning leave ugly in bed. Guard your heart and your mind. Let your difficulties become your place of promotion rather than defeat.

Taping into heavens resources as children of God. we can say what we have (negative) or have what we say (God talk). You can confine yourself through your words by what you say and never be able to leave the position you have confined yourself into. things can get worse instead of better through your words. His word in us is powerful and taps into heavens resources, making things better.

God wants to bless us and make us a blessing. He wants us to rise up on the inside in the midst of ur situation. You might not see victory yet, but in the midst of your situation you have grown and learned things that are included in the victory. Remember who you are. Keep moving forward, fear not, and never doubt God's word.

Seeing yourself and other the way God sees you. We can stay blind and deaf spiritually or we can be like the blind beggar in Mark 10: 46 - 52. When he heard Jesus was near cried out saying "Son of David, have mercy on me". When he was told to be quiet he did not give up, and in his

Relationships have responsibilities and relationships have guidelines to follow for us to have a blessed life. God's word is full of how relationships should be treated. It let's us know that what's in our heart will eventually come out, and if we are not willing to hear we can follow in a pathway of destruction. "There is a way thatseems right unto man, but its pathway will lead to destruction. We want to walk in freedom in our relationships,and the best way is - following God's way.
