1Corinthians 2:9-10 

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Prepare defined :

made at an earlier time for later use : made ready in advance. : ready for something : in a suitable condition for some purpose or activity. 

Do you love God? If your answer is yes, I have good news for you. God has things He has prepared just for you. And God has already told you about them. Your spirit already has insight and divine knowledge of your destiny. And the way He has revealed them to us is by His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit reveals to us things God has prepared for us. Notice the scripture says the things which God hath prepared, meaning it already has been done. He also said God hath revealed them unto us, meaning He has already uncovered them to our spirit. The word reveal means; to disclose something that was unknown or secret. Listen, God is not withholding or hiding His purpose for your life from you. Your future in Christ is not a secret. Unclutter your mind and free it from anxieties and fear through the refreshing rain poured out in your daily communion in God’s Word, and you will soon rediscover a greater flow of what you already know flooding back into your soul, reigniting a zeal and passion for your God given purpose. So away with the thought, “I don’t know” and get ready to go and do, follow through, with what the Hoy Spirit has revealed to you.

Suggestion defined: an idea or proposal put forward for consideration

Does God have a suggetstion box in heaven?

You know one of those little boxes with the slit at the top that you can slip a small piece of paper into, that has all of your opinions and suggestions on it. The kind of suggestions and opinions that surely you think God needs to successfully  run your life and the universe. Wow, how vain can a person get as to think that God, the creator of Heaven and Earth, would need a suggestion or opinion of the thing which He so wonderfully created. God created everything, seen and unseen, without the imput of anybody. God is God and He is God all by Himself. He needs nothing and no one to exist. Why would He need or even want our suggestions? Every thought or idea that we could have that is good is of God. Without Him we can do nothing. So the next time you want to give God your suggestions and opinions, think again and then ask Him to reveal to you His perfect plan.

Isaiah 55:8-9

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Psalms 27: 1  The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid. 

God has not given you a spirit of fear, as we know from 2 Timothy 1:7. Fear is a tormenting force that comes from the kingdom of darkness to rob you of your salvation. God is not the author of fear but rather of faith.

Fear speaks of failure and inadequacies, but faith speaks strength and divine life. Whenever the devil whispers to you that you’re nothing but a failure, look him right in the face with your faith and let him know, you’re not in control fear, my faith is in control.

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me. (I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency). Philippians 4:13 amp.

Rejoice child of God and let your God given faith win every battle for you.

The Bible tells us that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. How many times have you eaten today in the natural to supply your physical body with nourishment and strength? How many times today have you feed your spiritual man with bread from heaven to supply strength and nourishment?

Well, come on and sit down at the table with me for a few minutes and have a bite to eat. Come on dig in! Don’t forget to pray before you eat and wipe your mouth when you are done. Enjoy!

PAUL, AN apostle (special messenger) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah), by the divine will (the purpose and the choice of God) to the saints (the consecrated, set-apart ones) [a]at Ephesus who are also faithful and loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus: May grace (God’s unmerited favor) and spiritual peace [which means peace with God and harmony, unity, and undisturbedness] be yours from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm! Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [[b]because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]– [So that we might be] to the praise and the commendation of His glorious grace (favor and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 

In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor, Which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence), Making known to us the mystery (secret) of His will (of His plan, of His purpose). [And it is this:] In accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention) which He had previously purposed and set forth in [c]Him, [He planned] for the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and head them up and consummate them in Christ, [both] things in heaven and things on the earth. In Him we also were made [God’s] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will, So that we who first hoped in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him have been destined and appointed to] live for the praise of His glory! In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it–to the praise of His glory.

Ephesians 1:1-14 (AMP).

Ah! Now wasn’t that satisfying!

Self imposed limitations can often-times keep people from experiencing God’s best for their lives. God has said to us in His Word that we can do all things through Christ that strngthens us. The strength and the ability lies in Him. Therefore we have no need of worry or concern. There is nothing that God can’t do and He has never failed at anything, …ever. Our God is the ALMIGHTY GOD!

The problem many times is in our believing that we could ever possibly do something like what we see God do. God never asked us to be Him but rather believe in Him. Do you believe,  “with God all things are possible.” God asked the question, “Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard  for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27)

Jeremiah said this to the Lord, “Ah Lord  GOD ! behold, thou hast made  the heaven  and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee:” (Jeremiah 32:17)

What restrictions have you allowed to cloud your mind? Who told you that it couldn’t be done? Why have you been hesitant to do what God has instructed you to do? Are you concerned with what other people may think? Are you afraid of persecution? Who set the limitations on you as to how far or how much you could do? Have you allowed the devil to talk you out of your blessings?

Well these are just a few questions that you can ask yourself to assess the nature and root of your progress or lack of progress in fulfilling your God given destiny.

Remember Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith. He goes before us and is with us and will always bring up the rear when the job is near completion. Oh dear friend we can never fail if we stay hooked up with the Greater One! So release yourself from every self-imposed restriction and go forward in the plans and purposes of God for your life. If God be for you who can stand against you! Live BOLD in CHRIST!

Revelation 2:9-11 (AMP)

I know your affliction and distress and pressing trouble and your poverty–but you are rich! and how you are abused and reviled and slandered by those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Fear nothing that you are about to suffer. [Dismiss your dread and your fears!] Behold, the devil is indeed about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested and proved and critically appraised, and for ten days you will have affliction. Be loyally faithful unto death [even if you must die for it], and I will give you the crown of life. He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches). He who overcomes (is victorious) shall in no way be injured by the second death.

Listen defined:

• To pay attention to something and take it into account.

Many times we hear God but are we listening with the intent to do. In order to be faithful one must first hear instruction. How can a person be faithful or loyal if they won’t listen? Faithfulness is partner to passion. If a person is not passionate about a cause they are generally not faithful to it. When a husband or wife lose their passion or excitement about each other and their marriage vows they will soon become unfaithful. When a person is passionate about something it usually is a priority to them. When something is priority you will fight for it. God said you would be willing to die for it. The cause of Christ is a greater priority then our feeling during a time of persecution or suffering.

Faithfulness is a fruit of the spirit therefore it cannot be accomplished in the flesh. The bible says that the flesh profits nothing. A person can never be faithful to anything or anybody apart from God. God enables us by His grace to be faithful unto death. That’s why when people make promises out of their flesh thy soon renege.

I believe being faithful unto death speaks more than just about physical death. I believe it is also speaking of dying to self in order to be faithful to God. We must deny fleshly desires and lust and cleave to God. We must be faithful to God above our feelings and selfish thoughts and ways. Jesus said if any man will come after me let him first deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. When something is important to us we will chose it over other things. Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments. How can we say that we love God or others when we habitually are unfaithful to them? Unfaithfulness is a characteristic of love of self or selfishness.

We must be willing to suffer for godliness rather than deny Christ.There is nothing we could go through or suffer on this earth that would be worth being unfaithful to Him.

God knows our struggles here on the earth and therefore He has given us access to everything we need to win in this life.

2Peter 1:3-4

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 

Remember to be faithful to the one who has never been unfaithful to you! God is forever faithful.

If someone would walk up to you and ask you the question, “Do you have the time” what would be your response? Would you look down at your wrist and notice and reply: “Sorry, I don’t do watches” (by the way the Bible says to watch and pray)? Or would you just ignore them altogether and keep walking on your merry way?

Time defined:

• an appointed, fixed, or customary moment or hour for something to happen, begin, or end

• an opportune or suitable moment

• a historical period : AGE

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Well it’s about time…”

Well in all honesty maybe it is. The Bible actually says, “It is high time.” That doesn’t mean we should all run out and get high on drugs. That means this is a crucial moment in history…it is an urgent window of opportunity…it is now time! It means we must act and we must do it now! High time is red alert! It is no more excuses, no more fooling around time. It is “let’s get down to business” time. Do you get the picture, my friend?

Romans 13:11-12

Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light.

We must realize what an awesome moment in the history of God’s church that we live in. We must take full advantage of the opportunity we have to be His witnesses and demonstrate His power and love. It is high time to show the world what a good and mighty God we have. It is time to display the goodness of God in the land of the living.

What time do you have? Is your schedule too full? Is there any time left in your busy day to give God some say in your agenda? Are you making time for His will to be revealed in your life or are you making excuses? What time do you have for miracles? What time do you have for mercy and salvation in the lives of the lost? What time do you have to feed the hungry and give water to the thirsty soul that says, “What time do you have, ma’am? What time do you have, sir? Can I stop you for just a moment and take a few minutes of your time? Please don’t be anger with me I just need to know do you have the time?”

Exodus 23:20-22

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

God has a prepared plan for every life. The plan that God has for your life is strategic and significant to Him. The path that God has set you in is so valuable, He sent an angel to go before you to help assure that you reach your destinies end. Hebrews 1:14 declares this about angels, “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” Praise God we, Christians, are those heirs of salvation!

When Paul’s life was threatened in the midst of the sea, God sent an angel.

Acts 27:23-25

For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 

On our God given journeys here in the earth we will meet up with many adverse situations and enemy forces but God will always be with us to be our fortress and our shield, He is our MIGHTY DELIVERER. He said if you will obey my words then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. There is no force or power greater than our God, He is the Almighty God.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. (Psalms 24:7-8)

Our God is an awesome God, there is none like Him. He is Omniscient (All knowing), Omnipotent (All powerful), He is undefeatable.

Enemy defined:

• Somebody who hates or seeks to harm somebody or something.

• A person or group, especially a military force, that fights against another in combat or battle.

In God’s kingdom His word is law. When He speaks it is settled, no voting, no arguments, no nothing… it is what it is. The enemy is a law breaker. He is a thief and a robber. He is a murderer and a swindler. He is a violator and a trespasser. He is in rebellion against God and His kingdom. He is vile and evil to the core. Yet in the midst of all of his darkness and rage he is 100% defeated. Jesus defeated him over 2000 years ago when He declared it is finished on that cross then rose from the dead, triumphantly.

Although Satan is defeated he still roams the earth seeking whom he may devour. But thank God, Satan can’t devour whomever he wants, only those who will not resist him through Christ.

God has done everything He will ever do about the devil, now we must maintain our victory through obedience to His word. When we live a life of obedience to God we are assured protection, provision, wisdom, health, and strength etc, everything we have need of to fulfill our God given destinies and live victoriously. As we walk close with God and remain in the path He has prepared for us, attentively listening and obeying His word, God rises up and becomes an enemy to our enemies and an adversary to our adversaries. He will never leave you nor forsake you, so don’t fear or be alarmed by the terror of the enemy, just know he has no power over you or me. Trust in God and you will see His power go before you valiantly.

Psalms 91:1

HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].

2 Timothy 1:9

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 

Grace will get you to the place of your destiny. God will never bring you to the birth and refuse to deliver. We must press, but not with our own human strength. We must press through grace. God’s grace is His ability. His ability enables us to do the unnatural–what is beyond our human ability. Grace is God working in us and for us. We must depend on this grace. We must embrace this grace. God’s grace is sufficient for all things.

Mark 11:1-3

And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

I want you to see this picture in your mind, there sat a colt tied probably to a tree or something strong enough to keep it from getting away. There was probably nothing special about the way he looked, the color of his hair, the shape of his body, the way he walked, he was just a normal, average everyday colt, ………to the untrained eye. However, Jesus knew he was there, Jesus knew that that colt had a divine purpose. That colt had a part to play in God’s plan and no part of His plan, not even the smallest detail is insignificant to God. That colt was getting ready to fulfill destiny. He was getting ready to walk into what he was born for. The scripture said no one had ever even sat on this colt, Glory to God! He was just sitting there all tied up until Jesus spoke and said loose him and bring him to Me. Without God’s voice life is meaningless and mundane, it is fruitless and stagnant, it is wasteful and dry. That kind of reminds me of our lives before we were born again, there we sat in darkness all tied up until Jesus called our name and set our Divine Destiny into motion. He called us out of darkness into the marvelous light; He established our going and gave us understanding of our purpose. Jesus made it plain, He said if any man say unto you, “why do ye this?” say the Lord hath need of him. Did you not know that when God calls you unto Himself, He has need of you. You were not called into the Kingdom of God just to sit and look pretty/handsome; the Lord hath need of you. God needs the gifts and anointings He has put inside of you for the fulfillment of His plan. You are vital and strategically placed in the body of Christ; you have a part to play, you have been loosed for the Masters use. God knows the treasure that He has placed inside of you and He wants it to be in full operation for all to profit.

Many time people don’t benefit from others gifts and talents because they are too busy looking at the outward man. They don’t value the treasure God has placed in each and every one of His children therefore they forfeit the blessing that persons gift could have added to their life. Jesus valued the colts God given assignment and loosed him to fulfill it.

Competitive jealousy and fleshly comparisons bring division and destruction to what could have been a wonderful union of divine relationships. Divine relationships always bring an element of, “I have need of you and you have need of me.” There is a peaceful understanding that God brought us together to help one another fulfill His will. I like something that Paul said in 1 Corinthians 3:6-8, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.”

The rope that uses to keep you tied to the fence of “I can’t” is broken; you have been loosed by God to fulfill His purpose. So jump to it, you can do it, in Christ Jesus. Remember the Master have need of YOU!
