ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE with GOD!!!

Nothing is impossible when GOD's invited!!!!

Great reading today in "Igniting Faith"

I’m changing my mind and my heart about the possibilities of this day. Repentance is more than tears flowing from a sorrowful heart. It can include that, but isn’t that. Repentance is a new mind set… Bill Johnson says "a renewed mind considers things that were once impossible are now logical".

What impossibilities are you asking to bow to the name of JESUS? Cancer!!! Debts paid off!!! Sunshine for 12 straight days. LOL

Let’s repent and go to the high place with GOD and declare His kingdom come His will be done. Let’s get intentional. Pastor Paul Steiner says… 4000 souls in 2010 in the Mat Valley. Let’s change our minds about that being a too large of number.

LORD I REPENT!!!!!!!

From Eygpt to the Promised land

What a different mindset it is to repent TO a higher way of thinking, rather than simply FROM sin. (The prefix "re" meaning again, anew and the "pent" meaning the highest place). It's getting yourself into your promised land rather than just getting out of Eygpt. The idea of repenting has taken on a fresh new meaning for me: going back to the highest place of thinking. It is aligning yourself with Christ and the kingdom of heaven. Rejoice today! Take any thought captive that is not of the highest place and declare God's promises over your life!

What's in your "salvation package?"

Psalm 103 has always been my favorite chapter in the Bible. Vs. 2-3 help me to remember all that Christ purchased for me at the cross. In the New Testament, the Greek word 'sozo' is most often translated in our Bibles are "saved"; but it also means "to heal", "to deliver", "to make whole." When Jesus encountered people, He 'sozoed' them....He brought wholeness and healing to their spirit, soul, and body. It's the complete package....and He's already paid for it, so I don't have to.

Running to Disaster

Backlund asks, "If a prophecy or judgment is given against a certain place, should Christians run to or run from that place?" Do we go to preserve or do we sit back and observe?

What do you do?

Believe even after the Prayer

Wow! I love today's revelation of kratos power. Living in this kratos power is living with an attitude of ever increasing faith. Remember to pray for something and then keep believing for after the prayer is over. Declaring it into existence, with thanksgiving, is what makes it come to pass! God loves a heart growing in thankfulness and He will love to answer! It keeps you in His ever-increasing arms of blessing. It keeps you in a place of peace and while you are there, you just happen to be crushing Satan under your feet too ! This is the place I want to dwell with my Lord.

Developing Faith

I have always enjoyed the story of Daniel in the lion’s den. What a turn around of an impossible situation. What is especially impressive is the absolute peace that Daniel carried in his soul. The only way he could walk in peace was through his absolute faith that God would take care of Him, no matter what would happen.

Daniel walked with confidence into that immediate crisis because he had a foundation of faith building. For years he spent time with God, praying openly three times a day and walking in obedience. He had exercised his faith so that his spiritual muscles were in shape at that critical point in time. Our faith is developed a day, an hour at a time. Steve Backland says those convictions that develop our faith are time with God and His Word, fellowship and worship, serving in ministry, financial giving, speaking God’s promises, prioritizing our family, having strong accountability relationships, and putting ourselves in places where God’ power can touch lives and the lives of others. Strong faith is slowly built , one day at a time and is available when we need it most.

Who do I believe I am?

The stuff that hits home the most as I go through this journey is that your faith is not contingent upon how hard or how desperately you pray and petition before the Lord. It is upon these two things: knowing God's promises for you and then living from of a place of those promises; confidently. Who do you believe you are?
"The battle is first in us and then in our circumstances." I believe you're more effective with your child-like faith then trying to examine and figure everything out. (Something I'm about to learn a lot about!) 'You can do anything, God!' 'I can do what You say I can do!' 'I replace lies with the promises of God!' 'I trust that You are good!'
As we sing in some of our favorite songs of worship, "You make all things work together for my good." And "I am royalty, I have destiny, I have been set free, I'm gonna shake history." (Be watching for more powerful songs of declaring.)
That is declaring faith, no matter the circumstance. That is living from a place of knowing who you are. That is the stuff that just ruins the devil's day against you...
