God has given
to us Heaven’s treasure trove, ALL THINGS that pertain to living a godly life,
pleasing to Him. This includes His:
-Son,
Jesus
-Love
-Grace
-Forgiveness
-Authority
-Power
-Holy
Spirit, with gifts
-Powerful
Name
-Word
choc full of incredibly powerful promises
-Angels
-Faith
-Kingdom
citizenship and keys to His kingdom
-Insightful
good/bad lifestyle examples
-His
enduring patience
-His
hope
-His
triumph
-Strategic
insight about our enemy and how to defeat him
…and
so much more, both spiritually and physically
What
else is left to give? How should this influence our prayers?
With
this treasure trove, He only asks us to RENEW our stinkin' thinkin' to how
His kingdom works and overwhelms anything in this physical world, and in doing
so, to exercise His kind of overcoming faith when we encounter problems so we,
too, can walk in Jesus' victory over things in this world. Thus, in His triumph
(2 Corinthians 2:14), He leads us until it is time for us to leave this
realm.
How well are we following His lead?
How well are we following His lead?
What
more can He give to us when He has already emptied Heaven's banks and deposited
ALL into us, into our spirit. We only need to learn how to release from
within our spirit what He has deposited. Yet we talk and act as if all of this
great treasure trove is minimal, compared to problems that come against us.
If He
were to intervene when we plead, and we are hesitant or weak in deploying the
incredible arsenal at our disposal, would we simply continue to expect Him to
do what He has iteratively told US to do? Thankfully, He's much wiser than
that.
There
are many things God cannot or has elected not to do:
1.
Repent on our behalf for our sinfulness and disobedience
2.
Aggressively renew our mind to His kingdom principles and make us walk therein
3.
Release the power of His Word in our bridled tongue, bridled against
continually professing His Word in faith, no matter what
4.
Respond to our fears, rather than to our faith
5.
Perform what/how He has ordained us to perform
6.
Develop our faith
7. Bind devils
who beset us
8.
Shield our tongues from satan's fiery darts
9. Abide
in Christ for us
10.
Abide in JoY for us
11.
Strengthen our spirit when we do not joyously abide in Christ
12.
Discipline our imagination to magnify His Word and power over any problem
13.
Block the effects/fruits of our fear-based words and actions
14. Pass
His tests for us
15.
Change evil, faithless belief systems that derive from wrongly-focused thoughts
and imaginations
Let's
examine our lives to see what and where we might add to this list.
Amen?
