GRACE FOR REDEMPTION

At that time, Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Matthew 11:25  NKJV 

If you look at the Bible, you see a very distinct difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament: The Old Testament ends with the words: “…lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” —Malachi 4:6 KJV

The New Testament ends with, The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. —Revelation 22:21 NKJV

With Jesus, our Messiah and Redeemer, we have moved from a threat to a promise, from punishment to grace, and from a curse to a blessing. This is what happens when Jesus Christ steps into any time frame. It’s what happens when time is redeemed.

The Bible is divided that way, from the old to the new covenant. Recordable time itself is also marked as before Jesus—BC and after Jesus—AD. This is the way our lives as believers must also look. Our lives were one thing before Jesus, and after Jesus, our lives were another. Like the Bible and time itself, our life’s line is divided by the game-changing marker of the entrance of Jesus Christ.

Have you let Jesus redeem the things from your past?  Bring Him into the broken places so He can heal them.  Bring Him into the cursed things so He can deliver them and bless them.  He said I am always with you.  He was, is, and will always be with you.

Declaration:   Lord Jesus has redeemed me and my past.  There are no longer shadows that come over my life from my past.  I am fully redeemed and saved and set free.  The Light of His love guides my life.

THE PURSUIT THAT GOD BLESSES

THE PURSUIT THAT GOD BLESSES

 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the Western Sea, shall be your territory.  No man shall be able to stand against you; The Lord your God will put the dread of you and the fear of you upon all the land where you tread, just as He has said to you. Deuteronomy 11:24-25 NKJV 

God does not bless the frozen chosen sitting on their blessed assurance. God blesses pursuit. The only finders in this Kingdom are seekers. The only people who get the answers in this Kingdom are the people who consistently ask. The people who walk through supernatural doors into powerful upgrades are the ones willing to go to the door and knock until somebody finally answers. Limp-wristed attitudes in the Kingdom produce weak results. 

The inventor of life is first a loving Father, but don’t forget He is also a Warrior King, which makes you and me warriors, too! Against the odds, against what’s accepted as normal, you have to go after it. You have to go after Him! Against what makes sense, you have to be willing to pursue what is on your heart before God can bless it!  

In the arena of Promised Land living, you never see what God has given you until you are willing to walk in it first. When God told Joshua to cross the flooded Jordan River and go into the Promised Land, He required something very different than when they crossed the Red Sea into the wilderness after they left Egypt. Both involved miraculous crossings of bodies of water. Who can forget about Moses and the Red Sea wondrously parting in front of Pharaoh and his armies? 

But here at the gateway to the Promised Land, a different courage and trust is required as the key. The water didn’t part first like it did when they moved from Egypt into the wilderness. No. This was the Promised Land, and there was a new set of rules. They had to start pursuing the Promised Land before the waters ever parted. 

Declaration:  I will step into the life and the promises God has for me. Everywhere I step foot today, I will take the Kingdom with me so that I can advance it, and others will see the blessings of God in my life.

THE PRODIGALS

So, he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’ – Luke 15:29-30 NKJV

But what about the other brother? The oldest and heir to the larger portion, he has served the Father day in and day out. While on the surface, it seems he’s the heroic son, there is something festering deep inside. He feels like an orphan despite his obvious place of honor in the Father’s heart. 

“I work the ranch and do whatever you say. I never complain or confront, 

and this is the thanks I get? You’ve never thrown a party for me. You’ve never fired up the barbecue for my friends.”  Somebody call that boy a “waaambulance!” 

It is clear from this account that the Father is good. We’re not questioning His character. We are questioning the oldest son’s. Despite the evidence, he has created a narrative where he is overlooked, unloved, and unrewarded. He manifests the Orphan Spirit, which has sold him the lie that good works trump relationship. They don’t and never will. As a matter of fact, relationship is the antidote to the Orphan Spirit. 

While the younger brother made himself a literal orphan out of pride and selfishness, the older brother was competitive and jealous. He made himself a spiritual orphan out of fear and insecurity. The Father has not rejected either of his sons. They have rejected their right standing with Him—one in body, the other in spirit. 

Do you see it? You’ve never been rejected. The Father’s love has never moved. You did. Whether you moved in the natural by embracing the world for a season or if you moved in your heart by convincing yourself that you were abandoned, you are not an orphan. He’s there with a ring of covenant and a robe of authority. He’s not only killed the proverbial fatted calf—the Lamb of God—for you, He’s given you “all things richly to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17). You have a place at His table, and that’s worth celebrating! 

Declaration:   I know that my Father loves me, so I walked in confidence with the authority that He has given me to participate in His Kingdom. I renounce any thoughts that I have been an orphan and celebrate the love God feels for me.  My relationship with God is my first priority, and I will protect it.

SAY, “AMEN!”

Your Title Goes Here TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

November 22, 2024 – 11/22/2024

11 – Heroes Rising (+) Disorder (-)
22 – Personal Revelation

SAY, “AMEN!”

But even now I know that whatever You ask of God,
God will give You. John 11:22 NKJV 

Your life is a big deal, and it needs to be lived well. God is trusting you to live a life that He has paid for you to live, so don’t squander that gift. There’s a big difference between an epic life and a nominal life. Epic means “heroic, majestic, impressively great.” Nominal means “existing in name only, very small.”

What’s real is it’s up to you if your walk with Jesus is epic or if it is nominal.

It’s up to you – not anybody else – if you have the kind of walk with Jesus that provokes people to jealousy. They should see your blessed life and say, “What do they have that I don’t?”

On the flip side, you can also be the kind of Christian that causes people to hate Christianity. It’s up to you; that’s not up to anybody else.

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” – Luke 6:38 

This verse says that it’s not up to God; it’s up to you to determine how much of the kingdom you get into your life. God has already said, “Yes,” and your job is to say, “Amen.” The Bible says that the promises of God are “yes and amen.” Amen means “let it be established” or “make this thing happen!” It’s a big deal to tell the Lord “Amen,” and it comes with all kinds of blessings and upgrades that are, well, epic. Are you ready to shake the nominal?

Declaration:   God has said Yes to the plan and purpose He has that will give me a meaningful, abundant life. I add my Amen and seek Him, His Word, and His ways in every way I can. I am a blessed child of the Lord Most High.

A GREATER GOODNESS

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

November 21, 2024 – 11/21/2024

A GREATER GOODNESS

And the hand of the Lord was with them, 
and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.  Acts 11:21 NKJV 

God warns us and tries really hard to convince us that we have our hands on the steering wheel of our own hearts. There is a choice. We don’t have to love bad. We can love God. When we do, we learn to love goodness because we see how incredibly good goodness really is. We can actually choose what we love and how we love if we are willing to have a higher value for one thing over the other. 

God warns us not to get into “evil imaginations” in Romans 1:30, mostly because we are good at it. We can develop huge skill sets for advancing evil and inventing new evil right between our two ears. All that stuff ends up in the place designed to capture and hold evil. 

We don’t want to be carried off into a landslide headed for hell. God says this not because if we don’t avoid evil, it’s so big and horrible it’s going to get us. God says this because evil had us before we were even born! He says this because He wants us to develop skill sets to get past it, advance His kingdom, and overcome evil with good. 

Good is much greater! Why should we be impressed with something inferior? 

It was actually our rebellion against God that caused us to fall in love with evil and turn all our power over to it. It’s why we got so hurt by evil. 

For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord; But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death.  Proverbs 8:35-36 ESV 

When we fall in love with God, we begin to lose our childish infatuation with evil. We learn to turn a cold shoulder to our romantic notions of darkness and discover the true adventure of falling in love with God’s goodness. Falling in love with Jesus is always the answer. 

Declaration:  The Lord has the best plan of all for me. I submit my life to Him and let Him lead me down the best paths. His Spirit made manifest in my life allows me to understand what goodness really is. I will rejoice in goodness all day long today.

WE’RE COUNTING ON YOU

…that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. Ezekiel 11:20 NKJV 

Following Jesus is a two-part commitment. You are called to love Him and join His Body of worshippers—the Church. I call that “relationship” with God and “fellowship” with the church, and it’s a wonderful thing—except when it’s not.  

It is the relationship with other Christians that isn’t always wonderful. Now, I have good friends who are Kingdom-minded Christians, and they maintain healthy Christian relationships without going to church very often. They stay connected to the Body through service or ministries. These few people are the exception to the rule. 

Most Christians need to attend church even if they don’t believe they do! The New Testament never divides Christians into church members and non-church members. All the way through, it assumes that everybody participates in the local assembly. It gives no examples of Christians who belong to the “universal church” but have no link to the local church. Any idea of enjoying salvation and being a Christian in isolation is just plain foreign to the New Testament. Christians met regularly. Any time Paul made new converts, he immediately organized them into a little church. The next thing he did was ordain pastors not only to feed and lead those congregations but also to put them in order. 

For this reason, I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you. – Titus 1:5 The reason is that the church must work together to accomplish God’s purposes. It’s not a hard thing to understand, but so many Christians miss this! They fool themselves into thinking that salvation is the end of things when it’s the beginning! 

Renew your passion for fellowship. Know that we need you in the Body of Christ. You have a different purpose than others do. Come fulfill it! We’re counting on you.

Declaration:   Being in fellowship is important in my life. Working together with others in Kingdom work knits our hearts to each other and unifies us with Our Father. I will seek to be fully present in the Church.

THE POWER OF MOMENTUM

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

November 19, 2024 – 11/19/2024

11 – Heroes Rising (+) Disorder (-)
19 – Faith

THE POWER OF MOMENTUM

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “In Isaac, your seed shall be called,” concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. Hebrews 11:17-19 NKJV 

Here is a great revelation for you to catch. God is revealed through many progressive steps and His will for your life is also revealed in progressive steps. There is a certain momentum that builds up when you begin to achieve God-given goals, and that momentum becomes an impelling force of strength that enables you to land in a better spot than you were before! 

We have all seen the wonder of momentum. The natural principle says that once something big gets started, it’s really hard to stop. The Bible clearly states that our relationship with God is one of constant forward progression. That’s why we tend to call it a “walk” with God. It’s one that starts off small on our part, but the longer we walk with God, the bigger steps He requires of us and enables us to take.  

In Isaiah 28:13, we move from line to line, from precept to precept, and we move forward here a little and there a little.  In Romans 1:17, we move from faith to faith; in 2 Corinthians 3:18, we move from glory to glory. In Psalms 41:13 we move from everlasting unto everlasting. In Psalms 42:7 we move from deep to deep. 

No matter where you are, God always has a better point for you to go to within your reach! There is an impelling force of strength involved with forward progression. Once you meet a God-given goal, you have a new ability to meet another goal. 

Never underestimate the power of momentum.  If God can do one thing in your life, then He can do two. If God can do two things in your life, then He can do four. If God can give you the wisdom, favor, and character to get a raise at your work, then He can do the same thing to give you a higher position in your work. If He can give you a higher position, then He can give you a plan to achieve a better job altogether. Once you are living by God-given plans and dreams, you are truly living by faith. 

Declaration:  I have faith in God.  He is good and is good to me, so I place my faith in Him.  I will hold on to my faith and follow God’s instructions even when I can’t see what the end results will be; I know God is good, so I know all things will work together for my good.

WAR FOR THE PROMISE

WAR FOR THE PROMISE

Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. Joshua 11:18 NKJV 

God told the Israelites He was going to take them into the Promised Land and bless them in a new way. They were going to live in houses that they didn’t build, drink from wells they did not dig, and eat from vineyards they never dug. They were going to enter a land flowing with milk and honey. They would be the first to experience the abundance and prosperity the Lord had promised to their Patriarchs throughout history.   

Well, that didn’t happen! At least, not for that generation. Except for two of the spies who remained full of faith–Joshua and Caleb. Both Caleb and Joshua understood that taking dominion in the land the Lord had promised them required their taking responsibility to go to war. Over and over the Lord told them, Do not be afraid, because He was with them! 

Yes, giants have to be overcome. Yes, the Body of Christ is a battleship instead of a cruise ship. But friends, the Lord is with us, and He is our victory! Jehovah Nissi, the Lord our banner, is with His people and the battle belongs to Him!  

Declaration:  Today, God’s abundant life is all around me. I will choose to see the good things of God and walk in the way He leads me. He will bring me into His promises and deliver me from evil. My heart is full of gratitude because I have a good, good Father.

HOLY PARADOX

11 – Heroes Rising (+) Disorder (-)
16 – The Love of God

HOLY PARADOX

But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.  Hebrews 11:16 NKJV 

Nobody can predict exactly how all the details are going to be fulfilled when it comes to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. One verse of the Bible says one thing about the return and another part says another thing. It does not mean that the Bible is contradicting itself, it means that only God Almighty can pull it off. It’s a paradox.

Take a look at the dual nature of the wedding and the war found in the book of Revelation. The sermon series I titled The Wedding and The War is intentional because the two very different things are happening at the very same time. Both Malachi and Zephaniah called it the great and terrible day of the LORD. (Malachi 4:5; Zephaniah 1:14)

It’s the glory of God in the midst of all kinds of hell breaking loose. Just in case we didn’t quite get the point from Zephaniah and Malachi, the Prophet Joel describes the return of the Lord Jesus with the same vocabulary, “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.” – Joel 2:31 KJV 

Declaration:  Kingdom life means I have hope for my future no matter what happens here on Earth.  My promise is that I will be with God, who loves me, for all of eternity.  It is exciting that Jesus is coming back soon.  Lord Jesus will show me how to prepare and partner with Him to prepare others.

HOPE THAT OVERCOMES

HOPE THAT OVERCOMES

“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.” John 15:11 NKJV

When it comes to the end times and the return of the Lord Jesus, if you’re not hopeful, you just don’t have it right.    

I’m not saying times are not going to get bad, because they are.  I’m also not saying that the zeal of the Lord is not going to show up and defend me and you, the body of Christ, and Israel ~ because He will.  When Jesus shows up again, He’s not going to show up as a 6-pound baby Jew like He did the first time.  He’s going to show up as the Hope of Glory, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords.  He’s going to have it tatted out on His thigh so nobody can ever remove that title.  He’s going to show up with a sword in his hand and say I have had restraint for 6,000 years of human history. I will no longer have any restraint.   

When He comes back, He is going to set up His throne that right now is in Heaven on this earth. He’s going to tell all of humanity you had your chance now you’re going to have to do it my way. In the age to come the world is much different than the world is now. When I say it’s better, that does not begin to describe it.   

Think about any time that Jesus has shown up in your life. He shows up to heal.  He shows up to make a way. He shows up to redeem. The Bible says that Christ in you is the hope of glory! That means that since I’m a carrier of the hidden presence of God, He’s liable to be made manifest anytime, anywhere. Christ in me is the hope of glory.   

 

What is the hope of glory? It literally means the hope we have that God can be made manifest in anything. The messed-up things will be made right because God shows up. The return of King Jesus is like that on steroids.  

 

Declaration:  I have a big hope in Jesus. He is the source of my hope for all things. I am filled with gratitude that His presence in me can restore, redeem, and transform any situation or person. It astonishes me that I can bring His glory so others want to know Him, too. Hallelujah!
