If only we can stop reading the bible and start studying the bible and meditating on Gods word, we will transform our lives. If you get a hold of the word of God you can do anything. This we must understand.
I am blessed to have been patient to learn and apply these
The world is full of so many things especuially of the sufferings of many people and sometimes it becomes a challenge to the faith of many who are asking questions.
People ask; why do so many people suffer, are in pain, and many people think there is no God; they say if there is a God why will he let people suffer. why will he let the world be ruled by the wicked? These are all great questions. I was there. I know that its by Gods grace that i did not choose the extreme case. i opted to seek and find
We could say its because of bad government etc but is that really it? How about those who suffer in a place with excellent government?
With all these questions and challenges i want to share this with you from my studies of the word of God.
Jesus came to preach the good news
In Jesus' days people suffered, there was corruption, there was stealing and there was deception.The things happening today are not new; and in the midst of all these problems Jesus brought the gospel and he sent his disciples to bring the good news and he told us we are the light of the world.
The word of God is God’s creative material. Once you get hold of the WORD you can change anything.
Have you ever thoughy what was on Gods mind when he created you?
Eccl 3:14 says - I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Here we know that whatever God does is forever. There is a perfection to the work of God.
Gen 1:31 says - God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Notice the use of ALL
Your mentality can be your problem. Naturally we do not come up with a positive mentality because the soceity around us does not allow us to have a positive mentality in all things. We could have positive mindset in business but not in our heath or we can have in our health but not with our family.
Growing up with other people who have had the fears in life kills the faith you were born strong with. You acquire the fears others have grown up with. An these fears keep being transferred from generation to generation.
God is the only one who can tell us about His creation and we need to have the mentality He gives us and not the mentality of the world.
Once you are born again and receive the holy spirit in your life, He starts teaching you and showing you the meaning of this life that you have received. We have to therefore have our minds renewed.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
We have to change our way of thinking . God has given us the necessary material to help us achieve that - HIS WORD
We just learned for instance that what God does is forever. If before we thought otherwise now should be thinking this way. Things change because we change our thinking.We have to change our thinking that is key. We have to use Gods creative material.
Imagine you grew up knowing some things like death or sickess have happenned to others in your family at a certain age; you start anticipatng it. You accept it because thats what has been happening. No one can change your mind about this because of past experience.
But today you are learning as the bible says - be not conform to this world - you know that today and maybe others in your family for instance have never really had the revelation from this.
The fact that you know of this today - you can change that.
Maybe you had even been programmed for failure but today you are beginning a reprogramming.
Life is from glory to glory and this is based on our understanding of the word of God. Just as Abraham it is how far our eyes can see.
Limitations is not in the world economy, it is not in who your leader is - it is in what you can see. What can you see. If you see the limitations so be it. If you see greatness then so be it.
Success is a condition of a man's spirit; Failure is not an experience its a condition of man's spirit.
Condition yourself for success through the word of God.
Col 4:12 says
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Epaphras prayed that they come to maturity of Gods word. As long as you are a child in the things of God you are not different from a slave in the realms of the spirit. You will struggle with sickness and even with your faith, struggling in your prayers.
Gods dream for us is to come to maturity in Christ where we are full and in need of nothing.
When you study the word you gain more knowledge of the things of God.
James 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. No defect.
The consummate man - everything about him is brought to perfection; This is God’s dream for you if you believe it.
It will never happen to you if you you argue with it.
Accept Gods gift. He is not asking you for anything. He just wants to show you how to have a good life. So you can be perfect.
He wants you to be prosperous so you can help others be prosperous. But you must accept it first.
Faith is accepting that what God says is - is ; what he says was - was; and what he says will be- will be - thats the simplest definition of faith
If God says - This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
It is what it says
God says -
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
This is His Wish - His dream for me
There is more in Christ. We need to come to Maturity.
We cannot ask God to do things for us , things for which he has given us the authority to handle years ago. Thats the maturity we need to be aware of.
However this maturity does not mean the devil will not attack; It means whenever he shows his face you know exactly how to kick him out.
This maturity is the spirituality of life realizing that the spiritual controls the material.
Men are not controlled by their minds but by the conditions of their spirit.
When you understand that you will never be at a disadvantage in your life. When you grasp this you become inveincible and unshakable.
If you want this perpetual victory, you should mediate if you want it to come in your spirit in reality.
Meditation is different from reading the bible. Meditating makes you take a hold of the truth of the word of God and make it yours
Put the word to work. Declare you know who you are
Once you grasp the word of God you talk with authority do not waver.
Remember Abraham - He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
In faith let us come to a realization of who God wants us to be - our destiny in Christ. We have more power in us than we can ever imagine. Through the knowledge of the word of God we can bring that out. Lets do that.
