Do you have a life philosophy that resets you when things get confusing?

by

Do you have a life philosophy? What I mean by that is do you have a general outlook that everything boils down to in life for you? A general life philosophy or outlook is good to define for those times you need to find your center. When life happens you need safe ground to stand on. Of course we stand on the foundation of Christ but what specifically about his finished work do you dig

Are you a believer or a disciple? Honesty with self is the beginning point for moving past deception into a fruitful life

by

  Are you a believer or a disciple? Do you simply agree with God or do you follow him? Do you mentally ascent to the teachings in the Bible or do you actively seek to discipline your life after the teachings of your master, Jesus? Obedience is a fruit of your new creation heart so I’m not talking about law keeping for righteousness or favor from God…I’m talking about taking personal responsibility to let your

Should women remain silent in church?

by

This is probably one of the most misunderstood subjects in the New Testament. There are two primary passages where the subject is addressed, 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 and 1 Timothy 2:11-15. 1 Corinthians 14 KJV 34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them

Discover how to draw purpose from the highest dimension of life

by

Life is like the light spectrum or audio spectrum. The human eye is not capable of seeing ultraviolet light without the proper conditions. The human ear cannot hear past 20,000 hertz. There is an eternal or higher dimension of the “life spectrum” as well. Humans, in a physical body, have the capacity to live in the carnal dimension. The physical body can not function in higher frequencies of life, which is what we typically call

Take Ownership of Your Inheritance in Christ for Blessing and Success

by

 

You have an inheritance that is equal to what Jesus received, can you take ownership of that and live in that truth? 3:36 Video Clip

 

It’s not victory to successfully fight something over and over in your life. The victory is when it’s no longer a challenge for you. 1:35 Video Clip

 

Your self image and beliefs are self fulfilling prophecies, so you may as well believe the truth about who you are in Jesus. 0:43 Video Clip

 

 

Your outward life will reflect your inner beliefs. Life happens to all of us and many things occur that are out of your control but the bigger picture or the general condition of your life is a result of your self-image. You make choices based on who you think you are. Your conscious and subconscious mind work together with your conscience to filter what you’ll do and not do. Your beliefs live in your heart but your conscience will regulate how hard you pursue success or even how comfortable you are with certain levels of sin.

God is not the one determining the general condition of your life, you are.

The good news is you can change the condition and quality of your life. I am not talking about a health and wealth, carnally based message, I’m talking about living in the inheritance that’s available to all children of God. This inheritance predominantly reflects itself as righteousness, peace and joy. The goal is to experience the Kingdom of God and live as his responsible children/ambassadors in this world.

Colossians 1:12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

To do this, he changed you at the deepest part of your being when you believed.

God supplies wisdom and grace to continually shape you. He gave you that same inheritance Jesus received in his Kingdom. All of this is for the purpose of breaking the power of death and sin in your life, to set you free from the curse that’s in the earth AND for the purpose of you enjoying a blessed life.

Since you live out of the beliefs of your heart, the condition of your conscience and the image you have of yourself, you may as well go ahead and believe about yourself what God says about you.

Romans 8:15 for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, ‘Abba — Father.’ 16 The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God; 17and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ — if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together. (the suffering statement is a comfort to them because they have been experiencing persecution, suffering is not a prerequisite of being glorified)

God is continually reminding you that you are his child, that you are a joint-heir with Jesus, that he’s given you his authority. He’s placed his spirit in you to lead and guide you. He supplies more grace and wisdom than you’ll ever need. Let all of that work together to radically shift who you see in the mirror so you will allow him to build you outwardly into a blessed child of God, because you already are inwardly.

Hebrews 1:1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

Jesus is the heir of all things and has been given a name above every name. The most astonishing fact about Jesus’ resurrection and ascension is that he chose to share his inheritance and authority with all who believe.

In regard to power and authority there is no difference between you and Jesus. God has made you His child through your faith in Jesus. You’ve been adopted into His family in which he shares everything he has. You will not create another world and rule over people like the Mormons think, but in God’s Kingdom and on this planet, you have the full authority of a child of God within your new creation identity. Embrace your true identity and begin to represent the true God to the world in the power that Jesus died and rose again for you to walk in.

Your Struggle Is Not With People

by

It really helps me to remember that my battle is not with people, but with the devil and his evil spirits that are holding people captive. It even helps me pray for people with a greater level of compassion when I keep this in mind.

When I pray, I don’t come against the person themselves in prayer, but the spirit of fear, jealousy, control, manipulation, violence, anger, pride, intimidation, depression etc. – whatever that spirit is that seems to be holding that person in bondage.  

I pray for myself this way as well. For instance, I might pray, “I bind up this spirit of fear that is trying to hold me captive in this particular area in the name of Jesus. I loose a spirit of peace and calm over my life in this area right now. (see Matthew 16:19) God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (see 2 Timothy 1:7) I receive God’s love afresh for myself and I know His perfect love drives out every fear. (See 1 John 4:18)

Jesus gave us Christians authority over all the power of the enemy! This is really good news!

Colossians 2:15 says, “When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through the cross.” – AMP

and

Luke 10:19 says, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” – NKJ

I told you it was really good news. We have been given authority over the devil and his personal assistants and we need to use it!

I do want to make one clarification here in case anyone would have this question. Am I saying there’s never a time to confront a person directly? Definitely not. In fact, I believe in Spirit-led confrontation, but it must be Spirit-led and it must be done in love for it to do any good.

We have to remember that only God can change a person’s heart by His grace. Remembering this keeps us doing our job and allows God to do His job. Sometimes the person is living in such deception that they either can’t see or purposely won’t admit to the fact that they are not living their lives led by the Holy Spirit, but have succumbed to living under the influence of another kind of spirit. We can pray that the blinders of deception be removed from their eyes.

Steve prayed for me all those years that I was living under the influence of a spirit of legalism and thank God he did. I am now free from that spirit’s influence and I am living my life once again under the leadership of the Holy Spirit!

If you have not yet made Jesus your Savior and received the wonderful joy that His finished work on the cross has provided for you to live in, please visit my page here titled Jesus In The Driver’s Seat. On this page I explain the good news of the gospel and you will have the opportunity to pray a prayer of salvation, making Jesus your Savior! Jesus loves you and His arms are wide open!
