Good morning,
As we draw closer to the end of this year, we must keep our eyes on our purpose. We discussed last week about making room for the miraculous once again in our lives and in the families of the earth. When we begin to study the Word on the subject of miracles we are in fact building up our faith, for "faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." (Rom. 10:17) Everything in the Kingdom of God starts from a seed, something that is small yet has the potential to develop into something big. Everything that is considered to be great is comprised of smaller parts, so it is with us and what we do for and in the Kingdom. In other words nothing that we do for God is insignificant, it is a part of the grand plan of God. As we grow our faith for the miracles we must remember the power that we have in our declaration and decree that lines up with God's word. "For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Rom. 10:10) What we believe (our faith) must be confessed in order to be made unto salvation [deliverance, rescue, health, safety, prosperity,] All of that defines or covers the realm of the miraculous that we believe for. Now let's read an important verse; "And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race]. He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved from the penalty of eternal death]; but he who does not believe [who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] will be condemned. And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well." (Mark 16:15-18) Just meditate on that word, "signs shall follow or accompany those who believe". It is quite obvious we must believe that this belongs to us in our walk with the Lord as we go forth and publish the gospel. We must be about the Father's business! Signs here is the Greek word 'semeion' miracles, signs, tokens, wonders. So say with me now, since confession is made unto us salvation, "Signs and wonders follow me because I am a believer who believes and I am about the Father's business to establish the Kingdom of God."
"You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light of God's favor shall shine upon all your ways." (Job 22:28) That is what we have just done and now we have begun to water the seed of faith for the miraculous to accompany us as we infiltrate a world that is in need of deliverance, rescue, safety, health, and prosperity. As you are built up in this, you will begin to affect your family, your church, your job, and your community with these attesting signs and wonders that we are to work the work of the Lord until He comes for us! Also we must keep as our foundation the love of God. "If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing." (1 Corin. 13: 1-3) Let us not miss this time of being a part of God's grand plan to bring in the last haul of souls in His great net that He is spreading out across the world at this time.
Love,
Pastor D.
