How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?
Author Unknown,

 

The Lord is saying.   You have come a long distance in a short time. Yes you were motivated and it is true, change does not come until you are truly dissatisfied with your lot. Continue to change what you believe by repenting of the old way of looking at things and by the meditating, standing upon my word and the renewing of your mind. You shall surely see that change in your circumstances is inevitable.

 

 

Many years ago I arrived back from the doctors with worrying news, they thought I had something wrong with my blood. When I went to the Lord He showed me the scripture in John's gospel where it read that Jesus came to bring us life and life in abundance and He told me that I would conquer every bad circumstance as I walked with Him and that nothing would be impossible for me. Now I am beginning to understand why, when we keep the connection with Jesus we cannot lose and He "leads us in triumphal procession" constantly.

Isa 54:9 For this [is as] the waters of Noah unto me: for [as] I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
Isa 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

Okay! So the covenant of peace cannot be broken. Peace means health, prosperity, success in relationship, wholeness. We've seen how more understanding brings us into more of the wholeness that is already ours. The covenant of peace is the covenant that Jesus bought with His precious blood. God's word cannot fail. Therefore it is impossible for us not have victory over sickness, disease, poverty etc because God's word is immutable, if we stay connected with Jesus, and meditate on His promises......"If you abide in me and my words abide in you" All the promises are in Jesus, therefore its vital that we 'abide in Him' if we are to come into wholeness and to bear fruit..

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou
shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

If we are to come into victory it is vital to meditate on God's word, day and night. To make it our predominant thought. You might wonder how could that be possible. Well its possible to use our minds to worry about something constantly so its possible for us to change our thought patterns to thinking about the good things of God constantly. Our life will go the way of our most dominant thought. And because Jesus came to lead us on the path of PEACE. when we stay walking with Jesus, we come into more and more of what peace means. Everything we lay our hands to will prosper. He gives us the power to get wealth to establish God's covenant to Abraham and his seed, for in Christ we are heirs to all the promises. All the promises are Yes and Amen in Jesus. We just have to keep the connection.

When I spoke to the Lord about this revelation..... He said to me "So you think you have the truth?" I said "Yes" He said " and you think you've got understanding?" I said "Yes" He said that the understanding I had was a only small chunk of this truth but it is a doorway into more. If I keep this truth I will be led into more and it will be the most important journey of my life.

Charity Begins at Home?
A large, well built man visited the vicarage and asked to see the vicar's wife, who was well known for her charity.

As he spoke to her he said in a voice breaking with emotion, 'I'd like to draw your attention to the terrible plight of a poor family in this district. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine children are starving. They are about to be turned out into the cold streets unless someone pays their £400 rent arrears.'

'How frightful!' exclaimed the vicar's wife. 'May I ask who you are?'

The enormous visitor wiped his eyes with his handkerchief and wailed, 'I'm their landlord.'
