MIRACLES ARE BASED UPON GOD’S WORD 1-28-24

MIRACLES ARE BASED ON GOD’S WORD 1-27-24 VIDEO PROMISES-2

We must realize that every promise of God that his word contains is seed for our miracle. It all started in the beginning when God created earth. God said, or God spoke, and it became. Abraham believe the Word of promise, God gave him. Isaac sowed seed for miracle in the time of famine. And he saw God’s promise even in drought and it will bring a harvest. God fulfills all His promises with miracle upon miracle. Everything we will ever need or desire comes to us through Christ. Every miracle, every sign and every wonder. The ultimate miracle is from death to life forever.

Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth put forth [tender] vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees yielding fruit whose seed is in itself, each according to its kind, upon the earth. And it was so.

12 The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed according to their own kinds and trees bearing fruit in which was their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable) and He approved it. AMP

▼▼▼

Gen 1:11 God spoke: “Earth, green up! Grow all varieties of seed-bearing plants, Every sort of fruit-bearing tree.” And there it was.

12 Earth produced green seed-bearing plants, all varieties, And fruit-bearing trees of all sorts. God saw that it was good. MSG

LUKE 8:5 Picture a sower who goes out to sow his seed and some landed on a pathway where it was trodden under foot and eaten by birds.

6 Some seed landed on rocky soil where it begins to grow briefly, then for lack of moisture, it would wither up and die.

7 Still, other seed fell amongst thorny weeds where it became strangled.

8 But the seed which lands in good soil, flourishes and yields a return of a hundred to one! He then cried out with a loud voice, “Now listen up with your inner ears! It is how you hear my word that makes all the difference!” MIRROR

LUKE 8:11 This is what the parable means, God’s conversation with mankind is the seed.

12 The seed on the road means that some hear the word, then because of a typical inferior mindset, it is stolen from their hearts before it germinates and they remain trapped in their unbelief.

13 The rocky soil represent the ones who hear and receive the word with joy; but because they have no root to anchor them, their belief is brief and in times of temptation they fall away.

14 Then there is the seed that landed up amongst thorny bushes; they are the ones who also hear the word, but, in the course of life, the typical distractions that are associated with the pursuit of wealth and pleasures, suffocate them before any fruit matures.

15 But the seed in the good soil are those who hear in such a way, that the word finds a consistent and beautiful resonance in their hearts. They are the ones who continue to bear fruit in steadfast resolve. MIRROR

Matthew 13:31 Then Jesus taught them another parable: “Heaven’s kingdom can be compared to the tiny mustard seed that a man takes and plants in his field.

³²Although the smallest of all the seeds, it eventually grows into the greatest of garden plants, becoming a tree for birds to come and build their nests in its branches.” TPT

Gen 22:17 I’ll bless you — oh, how I’ll bless you! And I’ll make sure that your children flourish — like stars in the sky! like sand on the beaches! And your descendants will defeat their enemies.

18 All nations on Earth will find themselves blessed through your descendants because you obeyed me.” MSG

Gen 26:1 Now, another famine struck the land, like the one in Abraham’s time. Isaac

traveled to Gerar where Abimelech was the Philistine king.

2 Yahweh appeared before Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Stay in the land that I will reveal to you.

3 Live there as a foreigner, and my presence will be with you. I promise to bless you, for I will give all these lands to you and your descendants. I will fulfill the oath I swore to your father Abraham.

4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven, and I will one day give them all these lands. I will bless all the nations of the earth through your offspring.

5 because Abraham was faithful to me. He listened to my voice and yielded his heart to follow my direction. He kept my commandments, my instructions, and my teachings.” TPT

Gen 26:12 Isaac planted crops in that land, and in the in the same year reaped a hundred fold harvest, for Yahweh greatly blessed him!’

13 Isaac grew richer and richer until he was extremely wealthy.

14 He acquired so many flocks and herds and so many servants that the Philistines grew jealous. TPT

Gal 3:16 Now the promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah). AMP

GAL 3:29 Since Christ is the seed of promise, it is only in our realizing our union with him [in the incarnation] that we are equally related to Abraham and heirs of the promise. Faith and not flesh relates us to Abraham. MIRROR

▼▼▼

Gal 3:29 And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham’s Seed], then you are Abraham’s offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise. AMP

Acts 3:25 These prophets, along with the covenant God made with your ancestors, are your family tree. God’s covenant-word to Abraham provides the text: ‘By your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’

26 But you are first in line: God, having raised up his Son, sent him to bless you as you turn, one by one, from your evil ways.” MSG

Ps 37:25 I once was young, now I’m a graybeard — not once have I seen an abandoned believer, or his kids out roaming the streets. MSG

Psalms 89:3 I heard the Lord say, “My covenant has been made, and I’m committed forever to my chosen one, David.

⁴I have made my oath that there will be sons of David forever, sons that are kings through every generation.” TPT

Amos 9:13 “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree. “Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once — and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. MSG

Zech 8:12 Sowing and harvesting will resume, Vines will grow grapes, Gardens will flourish, Dew and rain will make everything green. “My core survivors will get everything they need — and more.

13 You’ve gotten a reputation as a bad-news people, you people of Judah and Israel, but I’m coming to save you. From now on, you’re the good-news people. Don’t be afraid. Keep a firm grip on what I’m doing.” MSG

Ps 126:1 It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when God returned Zion’s exiles.

2 We laughed, we sang, we couldn’t believe our good fortune. We were the talk of the nations — God was wonderful to them!”

3 God was wonderful to us; we are one happy people.

4 And now, God, do it again — bring rains to our drought-stricken lives

5 So those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest,

6 So those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing. MSG

▼▼▼

Ps 126:1 WHEN THE Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal].

2 Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

3 The Lord has done great things for us! We are glad!

4 Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the South (the Negeb) [are restored by the torrents].

5 They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing.

6 He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping [at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing] shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. AMP

2 Cor 9:10 This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God,

11 wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God. MSG

1 Cor 15:39 You will notice that the variety of bodies is stunning. Just as there are different kinds of seeds, there are different kinds of bodies — humans, animals, birds, fish — each unprecedented in its form.

40 You get a hint at the diversity of resurrection glory by looking at the diversity of bodies not only on earth but in the skies —

41 sun, moon, stars — all these varieties of beauty and brightness. And we’re only looking at pre-resurrection “seeds” — who can imagine what the resurrection “plants” will be like!

42 This image of planting a dead seed and raising a live plant is a mere sketch at best, but perhaps it will help in approaching the mystery of the resurrection body — but only if you keep in mind that when we’re raised, we’re raised for good, alive forever!

43 The corpse that’s planted is no beauty, but when it’s raised, it’s glorious. Put in the ground weak, it comes up powerful.

44 The seed sown is natural; the seed grown is supernatural — same seed, same body, but what a difference from when it goes down in physical mortality to when it is raised up in spiritual immortality! MSG

RO 9:29 The Lord of the multitudes preserved for us a Seed, to rescue us from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. MIRROR

PREPARING FOR AN INCREASE IN POWER 1-26-24 VIDEO

Do you believe you are commissioned to change the world? We need to think in terms of nations coming to God. The purpose of many moving in increased power is to invade society at its greatest place of need. We have an increase of power because of His position of power at the right hand of the Father. The purpose of the manifest increased of power is so the kingdom can be both spread and displayed through the power of the cross. Revival should be the norm. Signs wonders, etc. We’re being called in this hour to do the greater works. Preaching the good news gospel. Kingdom thinking knows anything is possible.

John 14:12 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.

13 And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.

14 [Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM]. AMP

▼▼▼

John 14:12 The person who trusts me will not only do what I’m doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I’ve been doing. You can count on it.

13 From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I’ll do it. That’s how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it.

14 Whatever you request in this way, I’ll do. MSG

Acts 1:4 And while being in their company and eating with them, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father had promised, Of which [He said] you have heard Me speak.

5 For John baptized with water, but not many days from now you shall be baptized with (placed in, introduced into) the Holy Spirit. AMP

Luke 22:69 But hereafter (from this time on), the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God. AMP

Ephesians 2:6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ! TPT

▼▼▼

Eph 2:6 Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah. MSG

2 COR 13:3 Love is not about defending a point of view; even if I am prepared to give away everything I have and die a martyr’s death; love does not have to prove itself by acts of supreme devotion or self sacrifice!

4 Love is large in being passionate about life and relentlessly patient in bearing the offenses and injuries of others with kindness. Love is completely content and strives for nothing. Love has no desire to make others feel inferior and has no need to sing its own praises. MIRROR

1 Cor 1:24 But to those who are called, whether Jew or Greek (Gentile), Christ [is] the Power of God and the Wisdom of God. AMP

1 COR 2:3 I felt completely inadequate; you know that it was not my eloquent speech that persuaded you. I was so nervous that my whole body was trembling with stage fright!

4 My message was not with persuasive arguments based on secular wisdom, since my aim was not to point people to me but rather to the powerful working of the Spirit in them.

5 Mankind’s wise schemes of influence could never match the power of God as reference to your faith. MIRROR

▼▼▼

1 Cor 2:3 I was unsure of how to go about this, and felt totally inadequate — I was scared to death, if you want the truth of it —

4 and so nothing I said could have impressed you or anyone else. But the Message came through anyway. God’s Spirit and God’s power did it,

5 which made it clear that your life of faith is a response to God’s power, not to some fancy mental or emotional footwork by me or anyone else. MSG

2 Tim 1:8 So don’t be embarrassed to speak up for our Master or for me, his prisoner. Take your share of suffering for the Message along with the rest of us. We can only keep on going, after all, by the power of God,

9 who first saved us and then called us to this holy work. We had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea, a gift prepared for us in Jesus long before we knew anything about it. MSG

Matt 24:14 And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end. AMP

Romans 1:16 I refuse to be ashamed of the wonderful message of God’s liberating power unleashed in us through Christ! For I am thrilled to preach that everyone who believes is saved—the Jew first, and then people everywhere!

¹⁷This gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe. And it moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith. This is what the Scripture means when it says: “We are right with God through life-giving faith!” TPT

1 Cor 4:15 There are a lot of people around who can’t wait to tell you what you’ve done wrong, but there aren’t many fathers willing to take the time and effort to help you grow up. It was as Jesus helped me proclaim God’s Message to you that I became your father.

16 I’m not, you know, asking you to do anything I’m not already doing myself. MSG

2 Cor 3:10 Indeed, in view of this fact, what once had splendor [the glory of the Law in the face of Moses] has come to have no splendor at all, because of the overwhelming glory that exceeds and excels it [the glory of the Gospel in the face of Jesus Christ]. AMP

2 Cor 4:7 However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves. AMP

▼▼▼

2 Cor 4:7 If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That’s to prevent anyone from confusing God’s incomparable power with us. MSG

Col 4:3 And at the same time pray for us also, that God may open a door to us for the Word (the Gospel), to proclaim the mystery concerning Christ (the Messiah) on account of which I am in prison; AMP

1 Thess 1:5 For our [preaching of the] glad tidings (the Gospel) came to you not only in word, but also in [its own inherent] power and in the Holy Spirit and with great conviction and absolute certainty [on our part]. You know what kind of men we proved [ourselves] to be among you for your good. AMP

▼▼▼

1 Thess 1:5 When the Message we preached came to you, it wasn’t just words. Something happened in you. The Holy Spirit put steel in your convictions. You paid careful attention to the way we lived among you, MSG

2 Timothy 1:10 This truth is now being unveiled by the revelation of the anointed Jesus, our life-giver, who has dismantled death, obliterating all its effects on our lives, and has manifested his immortal life in us by the gospel.

¹¹And he has anointed me as his preacher, his apostle, and his teacher of truth to the nations.

¹²The confidence of my calling enables me to overcome every difficulty without shame, for I have an intimate revelation of this God. And my faith in him convinces me that he is more than able to keep all that I’ve placed in his hands safe and secure until the fullness of his appearing.

ROM 15:18 I could entertain you with all the details of my personal adventures, yet all I desire to communicate is how actively Christ worked through my words to grab the attention of the nations.

19 The message was confirmed in every sign and miracle in the power of the Holy Spirit. Thus, I went full circle from Jerusalem to proclaiming the glad tidings of Christ in its most complete context.

20 I have placed such fond value on the fact that I could pioneer the glad tidings in many of these areas without building on someone else’s interpretation of Christ. MIRROR

Word need to spread that on Friday night as we gather, Jesus Word about greter things happens here, takes the place of the bars, internet ect.

KEEP YOUR FOCUS 1-21-24

KEEPING YOUR FOCUS ON WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT 1-21-24

VIDEO DISTRACTION2

So what is really important in this New Year? What is important for us to focus on for the future? Fear, anxiety, emotions, are from the enemy to distract us from what is really important. Jesus, in his temptation in the wilderness had the devil try to distract him And catch him up into something else instead of his purpose. Your eye is how you see things. If you keep your focus on what is really important, your entire body would be filled with light. We must forsake our worries and anxieties. We are God focus .

Heb 12:2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. AMP

▼▼▼

Heb 12:2 Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed — that exhilarating finish in and with God — he could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God.

Matt 4:1 Next Jesus was taken into the wild by the Spirit for the Test. The Devil was ready to give it.

2 Jesus prepared for the Test by fasting forty days and forty nights. That left him, of course, in a state of extreme hunger,

3 which the Devil took advantage of in the first test: “Since you are God’s Son, speak the word that will turn these stones into loaves of bread.”

4 Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.” MSG

▼

Matt 4:5 For the second test the Devil took him to the Holy City. He sat him on top of the Temple and said,

6 “Since you are God’s Son, jump.” The Devil goaded him by quoting Psalm 91: “He has placed you in the care of angels. They will catch you so that you won’t so much as stub your toe on a stone.”

7 Jesus countered with another citation from Deuteronomy: “Don’t you dare test the Lord your God.” MSG

▼

Matt 4:8 For the third test, the Devil took him on the peak of a huge mountain. He gestured expansively, pointing out all the earth’s kingdoms, how glorious they all were.

9 Then he said, “They’re yours — lock, stock, and barrel. Just go down on your knees and worship me, and they’re yours.”

10 Jesus’ refusal was curt: “Beat it, Satan!” He backed his rebuke with a third quotation from Deuteronomy: “Worship the Lord your God, and only him. Serve him with absolute single-heartedness.” MSG

LUKE 11:34 The eye is the lamp of the body. When the eye is entwined with light, the entire person is illuminated! But when the poneros-system of wearisome rules and regulations is its focus, it’s all darkness. MIRROR

Matt 6:22 “Your eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light.

23 If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar. If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have!

Matt 6:25 “If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body.

26 Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.

27 “Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? MSG

Phil 3:13 Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward — to Jesus.

14 I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. MSG

Col 3:1 So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.

2 Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ — that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective. MSG

▼▼▼

COL 3:1 See yourselves co-raised with Christ! Now ponder with persuasion the consequence of your co-inclusion in him. Relocate yourselves mentally! Engage your thoughts with throne room realities where you are co-seated with Christ in the executive authority of God’s right hand.

2 Becoming affectionately acquainted with throne room thoughts will keep you from being distracted again by the earthly [soul-ruled] realm. MIRROR

Rom 12:2 Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. MSG

Ps 119:69 The godless spread lies about me, but I focus my attention on what you are saying;

70 They’re bland as a bucket of lard, while I dance to the tune of your revelation.

Matt 6:6 “Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.

7 “The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God.

8 Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. MSG

PHIL 3:14 I have the prize of mankind’s redeemed innocence in full view; just like a champion athlete in the public games I refuse to be distracted by anything else. God has invited us in Christ, to lift up our eyes and realize our identity in him. MIRROR

Rom 3:31 But by shifting our focus from what we do to what God does, don’t we cancel out all our careful keeping of the rules and ways God commanded? Not at all. What happens, in fact, is that by putting that entire way of life in its proper place, we confirm it. MSG

Rom 4:19 Abraham didn’t focus on his own impotence and say, “It’s hopeless. This hundred-year-old body could never father a child.” Nor did he survey Sarah’s decades of infertility and give up.

20 He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God,

21 sure that God would make good on what he had said. MSG

Matt 6:19 Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.

20 But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal;

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. AMP

LUKE 8:14 Then there is the seed that landed up amongst thorny bushes; they are the ones who also hear the word, but, in the course of life, the typical distractions that are associated with the pursuit of wealth and pleasures, suffocate them before any fruit matures. MIRROR

LUKE 21:9 Do not let the rumors of wars and the instability of the times distract you with fear. These things are bound to happen but its not the end of the world!

10 Nation will arise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.

11 There will be massive earthquakes in various places and famines and plagues. Also, terrors and ominous signs in the heavens.

12 In the meantime they will abuse and persecute you; they will attack you in their synagogues and put you in prison and because of your association with me, they’ll bring you before kings and governors.

PS 27:4 Here’s the one thing I crave from Yahweh, the one thing I seek above all else:

I want to live with him every moment in his house, beholding the marvelous beauty of Yahweh, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to contemplate in his temple.

5-6 In the day of trouble, he will treasure me in his shelter, under the cover of his tent.

He will lift me high upon a rock, out of reach from all my enemies who surround me.

YOU ARE IN THE SPIRIT 1-19-24

Posted on January 19, 2024 by gloryboundministries

YOU ARE IN THE SPIRIT 1-19-24 VIDEO

The whole idea about walking in the Spirit is the yielding of our will to the word of God, as well as yielding to the Spirit of God. We were once dry bones, but now we are alive in the spirit. The Gospel when preached to those dead spiritually is so they might live in the Spirit. We pray in the Holy Spirit as the Holy Spirit direct us.

Romans 8:9 But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him.

¹⁰Now Christ lives his life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by God.

¹¹Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, he will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!

¹²So then, beloved ones, the flesh has no claims on us at all, and we have no further obligation to live in obedience to it. TPT

▼▼▼

ROM 8:9 But you are not ruled by a flesh-consciousness, (law of works), but by a spirit-consciousness [faith], God’s Spirit is at home in you. Anyone who does not see themselves fully clothed and identified in the Spirit of Christ, cannot be themselves.

10 The revelation of Christ in you declares that your body is as good as dead to sin’s demands; sin cannot find any expression in a corpse. You co-died together with him. Yet your spirit is alive because of what righteousness reveals.

11 Our union with Christ further reveals that because the same Spirit that awakened the body of Jesus from the dead inhabits us, we equally participate in his resurrection. In the same act of authority whereby God raised Jesus from the dead, he co-restores your body to life by his indwelling Spirit.

12 We owe flesh nothing. MIRROR

Romans 8:14 The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁵And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!”

¹⁶For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, “You are God’s beloved child!”

¹⁷And since we are his true children, we qualify to share all his treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that he is and all that he has. We will experience being co-glorified with him provided that we accept his sufferings as our own. TPT

Ezek 37:1 THE HAND of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.

2 And He caused me to pass round about among them, and behold, there were very many [human bones] in the open valley or plain, and behold, they were very dry.

3 And He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, You know!

4 Again He said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath and spirit to enter you, and you shall live; AMP

▼

Many times we pray and ask God for help but it’s time goes by and we don’t see what we have asked for manifest yet. We have a tendency to lower our expectations. And we tell ourselves to be satisfied with something else. Expectations are a strong belief that something will happen or be in our future. Get a vision for what you’re expecting for yourself, your family, your future. a vision for good. Expect God to answer you when you call in prayer. And expected heart releases God‘s power in your life. Creation is waiting expectedly for the sons of God. All the heroes of faith never gave up, believing and expecting to see what God promised. Even waiting expectedly for the coming of the Lord.

Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!
