Why rely on self-help when you can have direct access to God’s help?

When you reign in life, you reign over sin, you reign over the powers of darkness, and you reign over depression, over poverty, over every curse, and over every sickness and disease. You REIGN over the devil and all his devices!

The secret of reigning in life lies with receiving everything that Jesus has accomplished for us on the cross.

Do you realize that most people believe that one needs to work hard to achieve success in life? The world’s system of success is built on the twin pillars of self-effort and diligence.
We are driven to “do, do, do”, forgetting that Christianity is actually “done, done, done”.

The world tells you that the more you do, the harder you work, and the more hours you put in, the more success you will achieve.
Instead of depending on God’s grace for His favor and blessings to flow, they depend on their self-efforts to try to deserve God’s favor and blessings.
God wants us to stop trying to achieve, and to begin receiving the favor, blessings and healing that Jesus accomplished on the cross.
“I am already forgiven!” Jesus’ blood has cleansed
Stop depending on your self-efforts to earn and qualify for God’s blessings in your life.
You can take up courses, read books, do your work diligently and so on, but your trust must not be in these things.
God’s way is to bless you first, and the knowledge of His blessing gives you the power to labor more abundantly.
we do not labor to be blessed, but rather we have the power to labor because we are already blessed.
Every teaching that says, “We have to keep the law to be blessed by God,” is putting the weapon of the law back into the devil’s hands.
they will constantly feel condemned and guilty. The devil is the master legalist who constantly reminds you of how unworthy you are.
“I am the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ!”
If the devil can keep you under the law, he can keep you defeated.
If he can keep you under the law, he can keep you defeated.
The preoccupation with Christ instead of with self, will cause you to start reigning in life
Wake up every morning and give thanks that you are the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ.
Jesus is always glorified when grace is taught.
The law makes one self-conscious. It is always asking, “What must I do?” But grace makes one Christ-conscious. It is always asking, “What has Jesus done?”
they will depend on their own efforts to keep the law of Moses to deserve, earn and merit His favor.
God is angry with me when I do wrong.” My friend, those who believe that God is sometimes angry with them are still living under the old covenant of the law and not
The reason many believers are living a life of defeat is that they believe the LIE that God is angry with them. The reason many are not able to reign in life and experience a life of victory is that they carry around with them this guilt and condemnation that God is angry with them because of something that they have done in the past.
God is no longer angry with us because all His anger for our sins fell upon Jesus at the cross.
Many Christians have been robbed of fellowship and intimacy with God because they believe the lie that God is still angry with them because of their sins.
All your sins have been judged and punished
His grace is greater than all your failures. He
The more revelation you have of the grace of God and His forgiveness, the more you will have the power to reign over all your challenges and addictions.
We may not have all the answers, but we can have full assurance that the negative circumstances that we may sometimes experience are not the works of God, neither are they punishments for our sins. When we have this confidence that God is for us and not against us, we can believe for restoration, breakthroughs and good things to happen to us.
You will never find an example of God punishing a believer for his sins in the new covenant.
not true saphira
when you take the “text” out of its “context”, what you are left with is a “con”!
Stop believing the LIE that God gives you sicknesses, diseases and accidents to punish you or teach you a lesson.
honestly find it difficult to understand why there are believers today who fight vehemently for the right to be sick, broke and defeated when God is full of grace and mercy, and wants us to be healthy, prosperous and protected from all evil occurrences!
we have “prophets” like these going around in Christian circles condemning believers, convincing them that God is angry with them,
Whenever you hear a teaching that puts fear in your heart, you can be sure that what you are hearing is not the gospel, or good news, of Jesus. The good news of Jesus always liberates and His perfect love removes every fear. The good news always imparts faith and exalts the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross!
The power of the gospel is to live each waking moment having the confidence that all your sins have been forgiven.
Contrast this with living with a perpetual sense of guilt and condemnation that comes with thinking that when you sin, fellowship with God is broken, He no longer answers your prayers, He is far away from you, and until you repent and confess all your sins, the Holy Spirit will not return.
When they see believers impacted by grace, they become “filled with envy” because they have worked so hard and depended on their own efforts to achieve their own sense of self-righteousness.
Grace contravenes the traditions of man. It makes nothing of man’s own efforts and makes everything of Jesus Christ.
All these terrible things are happening to my family and my finances because of the sins that I have committed.”
When they have a flat tire, they start thinking to themselves, “What sin is God punishing me for now?”
When God looks at you today, He sees you covered with Jesus’ blood and completely righteous.
knowing that you are completely forgiven destroys the power of sin in your life.
Dear Father, I thank You for the cross of Jesus. I thank You that today, because of Jesus’ blood, I have been forgiven of all my sins, past, present and future. Today, You are merciful to my unrighteousness, and all my sins and lawless deeds, You will remember no more. You see me as completely righteous, not because of what I have done, but because of Jesus. I am greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved by You. Amen.
