Jesus Christ came to restore to us the things that were taken away from us by satan and his demons; yes, many times, because of our ignorance and disobedience, we gave him access to us and our "things"; however, those things still belong to us. They do not belong to satan nor his demons.
Because of the sin of Adam, we inherited a sin nature. In Adam we all died but in Christ, we all are made alive (I Cor. 15:22). In making us alive, we must realize that we are not only living but restoration has been promised to us. God says, in Joel 2:25 “I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten—the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust, My great army which I sent among you.” This is a promise from God that all of those things that have been eaten by things that hopped in our lives, that were stripped away from us or that things that were taken via the enemy that crawled in, He will restore. And, we must also hear this. God is not concerned about making us ashamed about our past. He is not bring up our past sins, our past lifestyles. He has cast that as far as the east is from the west. And, this is what the Jesus says about His ministry…. “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me; because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified…. For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.” (is. 61:1-3,7)

Arise, shine for your Light has come and the glory of the Lord, the glory of the Lord, the glory of the Lord shall, shall, shall rise upon you! (Is. 60:1)
Get this saints: “Arise, get up. You have been down too long. You have been suffering too long. You have been waiting on a man to help you too long. You have been struggling too long. Arise! You have been doubting too long. You have been talking faith too long! You have been going through the motions too long! Arise, shine! You can shine because your Light has come. Who is your Light? Jesus Christ is your Light. He has come! He has broken through the darkness of your situation. Arise! Arise in belief. Arise in faith. Arise in devotion. Arise in commitment. Arise is holiness. Arise to the call of God in this season. Arise to the purposes of God in this season. Arise to the plan of God in this season! If you arise, His glory will rise upon you. I said, “if you will arise, His glory will rise upon you! This is what the Lord is calling us to in 2014. In this year – a supernatural year; a year of supernatural advancement, supernatural elevation, supernatural enlargement, supernatural increase, supernatural abundance, supernatural restoration, supernatural healing – you will experience double double because the glory of the Lord will arise upon you 2014 is Our Year of Supernatural Advancement as we ReThink Possible. God says "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." 2013 is gone. We are in 2014. Our past is in the past. Whatever happened in 2013 that was not good; that hindered, that blocked, that depressed, that clogged up the portals of your flowing blessings, leave that there. God is doing a new thing.
Rev. 4:1 Hear the voice of the Lord say, "Come up higher so that I can show you things that are to come." He is taking us to new levels in Him so that we can see this new thing that He is doing in our lives, ministries, businesses, homes, relationships and lives. This is our year of double double - (20 double of 10; 14 double of 7). This is the year that we will expereince supernatural advancement, supernatural promotion, supernatural elevation, supernatural abundance, supernatural breakthrough. Come in line. Get in the order of God. Break out of useless traditions. Get in faith. Stay in faith. Do not harden your hearts! Remain pliable and open to God and you will know, see and experience Supernatural in 2014. "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it(the moral and spiritual resurrection of Christ); however, one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13
God is calling us forward, upward, into our future in Him. We will get there as we trust Him and follow His leading. There have been and will be twists and turns, roadblock, obstacles, hindrances, and battles; however, we will make it because God is for us. His is our Defensive Wall, our Strong Tower, our Banner of Victory, our Healer, our Peace and so, so, so much more. I say to you my brothers & sisters in Christ, "Don't be weary in well doing. You SHALL reap, if you do not faint (loosen or relax our courage)." Galatians 6:9. This is not a time to look backwards. Pray for divine strategies and push forward. You are on your way to greatness in God because this is what He has called you to. Rom. 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Abraham heard God speak to Him and believed God. That belief/faith was accredited to him as righteousness (Romans 4). You may hear the Word of God being ministered but it is not the person you are hearing, it is the Word of God. Believe the Word of God; what God is releasing. It is not just a sermon; it is the Word of God. Anytime the Word of God is being released that is the time to release your faith. Why? Because in the presence of the Word of God; truth, things happen for our benefit. There is a window of opportunity where the presence of God and power of God is actively manifesting and at that time things take place. Jesus said, “I am The Way, the Truth and The Life…” The woman with the issue of blood had been sick for twelve but when she heard that Jesus was near, she got into His presence, released her faith by pressing her way into the crowd and touching the hem of His garment. When she did an instant manifestation of healing took place. Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by. He released his faith, even as people were trying to quiet him. He realized that this was his window of opportunity and when he released his faith, Jesus healed him. Saints, in the presence of truth faith is now! Act on faith in the presence of truth and experience the manifestation of the things that you need and that are your portion in this life. In the arena of faith, battles are won! |
