 Christianity Etc › How To Make Power Available For Change by Gombs(op): 10:00am On Dec 04, 2014*. Modified: 10:25am On Dec 04, 2014 |
James 5:16 AMP Let's us know 16 Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. When we pray, it should be heartfelt, that means our emotions are brought together in prayer, and since we are already righteous, because we are new creations, we've accepted the salvation Jesus brought us, because we are justified by faith, we are at peace with God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. This is how we should pray - Earnest, Heartfelt, and continued prayer- and the latter part of that verse says "makes tremendous power available. That means we don't just pray 2 minutes and go away. We press in our prayers and take a hold of it with our hearts. This kind of prayer makes tremendous power available. Why do many people pray and things are not happening? it's because the power is not made available. Why are many people wanting changes that are not taking place? It's because they are not making power available for the change. Is there power available for the change you want in your family, job, finances, life, business, etc. Is there power made available for it? There's got to be power made available for the change, and God has shown us how to make power available for change. Paul wrote to the Ephesian church in chapter 3 verse 20 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, God will make that change according to the power we've made available. from the book of James, we see that the power is dynamic in its working, that is, it produces results. We should make power available at all times, like when praying, and especially when praying in tongues. It is so important. Don't join those who are arguing about "Is it right or must everyone speak in tongues?" The only people who are contesting everybody speaking in tongues, are those who don't speak in tongues. They are the only ones who keeps saying "it's not everybody that should speak in tongues" or "tongues are done away with". If they did, they'd want every other person to. There are some of you who wanted certain things to change and you didn't see the result. You've prayed, confessed, declared etc, you can make something happen, by making power available for the change. Now, when that power is made available through prayer, then you give the word, and it shall come to pass. Until the power is made available, you may give the word and nothing may happen. It's not everything when you make confessions for, it just changes, for some, power for the change is required. You will make a difference if you pray this way. Pray every now and then, when you are alone or at work, speak in other tongues under your breath. God is everywhere, so, pray everywhere you find yourself. Pray in the spirit, your innermost being is praying, this will make power available, and nothing can stand in your way, nothing will destroy that which you've planted, nothing will change the course of life in which you are supposed to be going. If you will pray this way, success will be your testimony, victory will be your testimony, and nothing can change that. Praise God! 1 Like |

A master of Words - Thursday, December 4th . Pastor Chris It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63). Genesis 1 tells us how in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. He did it with words! When Jesus ministered, He ministered with words; He changed things with words. Every word He spoke came to pass. When He spoke to blind eyes, they opened; when He commanded deaf ears, they were unstopped. Once, He said to a man with a withered arm, “Stretch forth thine hand”; the man did, and his withered arm was perfectly restored (Matthew 12:13). Even when He raised the dead, He did it with words; He was a master of words. He knew what to do with words. His extraordinary use of words captivated even the soldiers that were sent to arrest Him. When they got to Him, they probably forgot their mission and stood listening to Him instead, overwhelmed by the power, and excellence of His words. They just couldn’t arrest Him. When the chief priests and Pharisees asked them, “Why have you come without him?” The officers said, “…Have you heard the way he talks? We've never heard anyone speak like this man” (John 7:46 MSG). When the people listened to Jesus, they didn't want to leave His presence. Mark 12:37 says “…And the common people heard him gladly.” They came by their tens of thousands; the multitude thronged Him. The Word reports how, they were with Him in the desert and wouldn’t go home for three days, forgetting also that they hadn’t eaten, as they listened to the Master speak words of life. When He cast out devils in the synagogue, the Bible says the people present were “…all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out” (Luke 4:36). The Pharisees talked about the demons, but Jesus talked to the demons with authority. Halleluiah! He inspires me; I’m turned on by His love, and by His example. He was a master of Words. Prayer... Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your Word to live by, I utter words of faith continually, knowing that my words are filled with power to produce results for your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. ; James 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

You should learn the Scriptures Those outside of Christ do not have claim to this love.Read John 3:16 and Romans 5:5 They are only walking this world because of God's benevolence that is shown both to the righteous and unrighteous.Rev 3 :20 The gospel is complete, and guaranteed to ALL who believe, whether in this fallen world or unfallen (whatever that means). Stop being ignorant. [] The gospel you are preaching is not the gospel.You are the wrong one buddy! He's alive, now and forever, and we're partakers of His grace, and share in His glory. Now, take not His grace in vain. The fact you claim to dislike Him and live, is a direct result of grace.  |

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might (Ephesians 6:10). Being strong in the Lord doesn’t mean being strong in your physical might or muscles; no! It means to be strong in the grace that’s in Christ Jesus; to take advantage of His grace. The Apostle Paul said to Timothy, “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 2:1). Not everybody is strong in the grace that's in Christ Jesus, but God's Word says to take advantage of His grace. So it's something you have to do for yourself. Understand what that grace has brought to you and take advantage of it. For example, the grace of Jesus Christ has brought us divine health in the Gospel; take advantage of that grace and stay in divine health. Refuse to be sick. His grace brought us prosperity as well; therefore, refuse to be poor: “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). His grace has ushered us into a life of righteousness: “...They which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:17). Grace reigns by righteousness. Therefore, take advantage of His grace and keep reigning in life. Understand what it means to be endowed with God’s grace; it means God has given Himself to you, thereby giving you all that He has. By grace, you received His life and nature of righteousness, with dominion to rule over the devil, sickness, disease, the world, and its systems. Blessed be God! Refuse to be swayed by the adversities of life; take advantage of the grace of God in Christ Jesus. Live the Word; that's what it's all about. Study the Word to know more about your heritage in Christ. You can’t take advantage of His grace until you know what His grace has done for you, given to you, and made you. No wonder He says in 2 Peter 3:18, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ....” |

I refuse anything and everything that's inconsistent with your perfect will for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. ; Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

| Christianity Etc › Don’t Break The Hedge! by Gombs(op): 10:13am On Dec 02, 2014 |
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him (Ecclesiastes 10:8 ) Every child of God has a spiritual force-field around him; it’s a hedge of protection that repels the enemy. Did you ever read about Job in the Bible? Satan had tried unsuccessfully to attack the man, and so he asked God, “Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?” (Job 1:10). Even satan acknowledged that there was a hedge of protection round about Job and everything he had, until Job unfortunately breached it through his wrong confessions as revealed in Job 3:23-26: “Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.” Here was a man who even satan acknowledged was hedged and divinely protected by God, yet he said “I was not in safety.” Little wonder he suffered terribly and lost everything he had to satan; He broke the hedge of protection placed around him by God through his negative confession. How important it is for us to keep speaking forth faith-filled words and not fear! Negative confessions breach the hedge of protection God has placed around you. No child of God ought to experience sudden calamities or be overtaken by dire misfortunes; because there’s a hedge of protection around everyone one of us. No matter how the enemy tries to come at you, the Spirit of God will erect a repellent barrier against him: “…When the enemy shall come in, like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him {and} put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives]” (Isaiah 59:19 AMP). But guess what? He does it through you, for He functions and carries out His ministry in the earth through His kids. So it’s your responsibility to fortify the hedge of protection placed around you by God and extend its perimeter. How? By talking right, and then also by praying in tongues! When you feel the pressures of life coming at you; maybe at your job, business, academics or in any area of your life, that’s not the time to cry, cower or talk fear! Instead, pray fervently in other tongues and talk your faith up until the power of God inundates your whole being and saturates the environment. As you do this often, the spiritual force-field around you gets wider and wider, repelling the enemy farther and farther. |

Stand Up For The Gospel - Tuesday, December 2nd . Pastor Chris ...He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again (2 Corinthians 5:15). There’s no better time to reflect on the vicarious sacrifice of Christ, than Christmas time. In the midst of all the celebrations and joyful preparations, take some time to think of the purpose of His birth, life, death, and resurrection. He’s given us such an extraordinary life of glory and righteousness, not just so we could enjoy it and keep it to ourselves, but so we could bring others into this life, even when it isn't convenient to do so. You have to stick out your neck for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul was persecuted more than the other apostles, because of His convictions about the Gospel. When he went to Jerusalem to visit, the other apostles called him aside and told him how so many Jews had become believers, and how devoted they all were to the Law. Paul must have wondered why they should be full of zeal for the Law when Christ already abolished the Law through His death, burial, and resurrection (Ephesians 2:15). The other apostle didn't want to “provoke the Jews,” as it were, so they told Paul to act in accordance with the Law. Somebody recognized Paul, screamed and said, “...Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place” (Acts 21:28). The crowd seized Paul and would have killed him because of his message, but for the intervention of the soldiers (read the entire reference in Acts 21:18-32). Be bold to preach Christ, even when you're persecuted for so doing. As we strategize and try to convert people into the Kingdom, we must not lose our confidence in Christ. Prayer... Dear Father, I thank you for the special privilege granted me to be a custodian of the Gospel of Christ, and declare it boldly in every place, at all times, in spite of oppositions, thereby liberating those in satanic bondage into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: 1 Timothy 1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. ; Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Take Up His Concerns - Monday, December 1st. Pastor Chris Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you (John 20:21) . Each one of us has a divine responsibility in Christ, to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. We’re the ones expected to win the world for Jesus Christ, and we have to do everything necessary to make that happen. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” His concerns must be our concerns. What He cares about is what we should care about; otherwise, our lives will be empty. Life is nothing without God’s purpose. Think about it: your forebears were here, but they’re gone; then the next ones came and now they’re gone also, and the list is endless, until it finally got to you. So, the question is, “What are you doing here?” Jesus said, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:36-37). Your purpose for life is very important; God’s purpose for your life is primarily for you to be His agent of salvation and partner in winning others to Christ. Be definite about this. Livenfor this cause. Most people live their lives without ever discovering why they were born; they just walk through life and all they think about is themselves. There isn’t a worse life than that of a selfish man who only thinks of himself. Your prayers shouldn’t be only about you, your family, your job, your needs, and everything else that has to do with you. Take up the Lord’s concerns and intercede for lost souls. The Bible says He wishes not that any person should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). This can only be if you take up your role as a soul-winner and an intercessor. Prayer... Dear Father, I thank you for giving me a purpose in life. My heart burns with passion for the Gospel. I’m dedicated to a life that’s meaningful, a life directed to impact others with the power of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: 1 Corinthians 9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Follow His Examples - Sunday, November 30th . Pastor Chris For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps (1 Peter 2:21). Jesus came to demonstrate to us the supernatural life that God has called us to live. When He walked this earth, His life and ministry were an absolute demonstration of the righteousness of God, and dominion of the Spirit. He had a different mind-set—one of absolute mastery. He wasn’t subject to the depravities and corrupting influences of this world. He ruled over nature and lived above it; His triumphant life on earth was an example for us to follow. Since we have the same life and nature with Him, we also can live triumphantly everyday, with dominion over circumstances. The Bible says as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Jesus walked on water, opened blind eyes, unstopped deaf ears, made the lame to walk, restored speech to the dumb, raised the dead, and literally transcended natural laws. When the winds billowed against the ship as He sailed with His disciples, with audacity, He commanded the winds and the waves to be calm. His disciples, who were present, were awe struck and exclaimed, “…What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him” (Matthew 8:27)! This is the Jesus that we follow, and whose life and nature we have. Every step He took and every word He spoke were outflows of the supernatural! We're exactly like Him and ought to live the supernatural life twenty-four hours a day. Divinity is at work in you. Blessed be God! Confession... I refuse to condescend to this earthly plane of life because as Jesus is, so am I in this world. He’s the effulgence of God’s glory; therefore, my life is full of His glory, power and might. I live triumphantly, irrespective of the circumstances of this world. Halleluiah! Further Study: Ephesians 5:1 AMP Therefore be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. 1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
