How to see God's Word come to pass in your life

2010-10-23T19:57:00.000+11:00

Finding a Scripture that reveals God’s truth is the first step to seeing God’s Word come to pass in your life. But as we have already discovered it is not about just quoting the literal words because the power of God is released when you believe and act on what it says. So don’t just focus on the literal words but on the message of what those words are saying!

This lesson I wanted to cover a little bit on confession…

…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:9-10 (NKJV)

Many believers misunderstand what it means to confess the Word. I see many caught up with declaring the literal Word without having a personal revelation on what those words are saying. We need to remember that what God has said in His Word has already been established for us. His Word is our instruction book for life and shows what we have already inherited as a believer. For this reason we don’t declare or confess God’s Word to move God or to make something happen. Instead, we confess and say what has already happened! God has already moved and done everything for us through the finished work of the Cross!

So confession doesn’t move God but moves us into what God has already provided!

The word confess in Greek in the scripture above is homologeo and means: to agree with, not to refuse or deny, to declare openly, speak out freely. So confession is to agree out of our mouth by saying the same thing as what God’s Word says about what He has done for us through His Son!

Confession is two-fold; it helps us to renew our minds with the truth and it’s also how we see God’s power released in our life when we say what God says about us!

I love what the message version says of this Scripture…..

The Word that saves is right here, as near as the tongue in your mouth, as close as the heart in your chest.  It's the Word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching. Say the welcoming Word to God—"Jesus is my Master"—embracing, body and soul, God's work of doing in us what He did in raising Jesus from the dead. That's it. You're not "doing" anything; you're simply calling out to God, trusting Him to do it for you. That's salvation. With your whole being you embrace God setting things right, and then you say it, right out loud: "God has set everything right between him and me!" Romans 8:8-10 (Msg)

We understand that we don’t have to confess God’s Word or what Jesus has done for us many times to come into Salvation. We simply embrace what Jesus has done by believing and acting on it. This is the same for everything that Jesus redeemed us from through His finished work.

It is so easy to get into works and self-effort and performance mode when we need a breakthrough but we need to remind ourselves that the things of God's Kingdom are notearned but learned. We therefore need to renew our minds with what we already have in Christ so that we can see this truth established in our heart! Then out of the overflow of our heart our mouth will speak and we will start thinking and saying what God says. Our lives will be transformed and soon circumstances as a result. The rest will be history.

Copyright Nerida Walker 2010 (God's Plan for Pregnancy and It is Finished). If you would like to know more about the power of God's Word and how to see it come to pass in your life grab a copy of my audio message God's Living Word for Childbearing (for those wanting a breakthrough in reproduction) or The Living Word of God (for those who want to experience God's healing power in every area of their lives.

PLANT don't SCATTER the seed!

2010-10-17T17:08:00.002+11:00

Last time I shared how God’s Word is His seed on this earth and is how we see His Kingdom outworking in our lives. This message I want to clarify how to apply God’s Word, because I see many stumble in this area. I want to expose a myth, formula or methodology that many seem to struggle with.

My heart is to share the simplicity of how to receive revelation, and see God's power released to transform your life. I therefore pray that this message will help you to get back on track and for the truth to set you free!

One question I often get asked when people are caught in an emergency situation is:

“What Scripture can I claim for my situation?”

But this is not what God’s Word is about!

To see God’s power released in our lives through His Word is not about naming and claiming or about confessing God’s Word hundreds of times over to make it work. To use God’s Word this way is like scattering seed into thin air.

While God’s Word is alive and full of power we need to understand how it works. Think of the simplicity of how a seed germinates. Does it grow roots and come to life when it is sown into thin air, or when it is planted in fertile soil? In like manner, we don’t just grab a scripture and simply declare it over a situation thinking that it will magically change things. Where God’s Word (His seed) comes to life is when it is planted in the fertile soil of our hearts.

We are the ground where the Word needs to be sown.

This means that God’s Word needs to become living and active in us!

The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. Psalm 119:130

God’s written Word needs to become a Living Word! So if we want to see what God’s Word says come to pass in our life, it is not throwing it at our circumstances but rathersowing it into our lives by spending the time meditating on what it says until the message comes alive and we understand what it is saying to us personally.

How Does God's Word Grow?

2010-10-15T19:10:00.000+11:00

...in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted [in your hearts] contains the power to save your souls. James 1:21b (Amp)

In the scripture above, implanted literally means engrafted – when something foreign becomes a part of whatever it is grafted onto.

Strong’s Concordance describes engrafted as: to swell up; to germinate or grow (sprout, produce), literally or figuratively, to spring up!

It is therefore important that you spend time in God’s Word until it is engrafted in your heart, so that it can spring to life, take root and grow. You can do this by transforming your thinking by renewing your mind with the truth of what God’s Word says until that truth springs up and becomes more real to you than what the natural circumstances are saying.

Initially, for many the natural circumstances may appear more real and powerful than the truth in God’s Word, but be encouraged because the natural report doesn’t need to be our final report!

Let God’s Word be your final authority!

God's Word is His Seed on the Earth

2010-10-11T22:28:00.000+11:00

I have already shared on how God’s Word is Living and Active and how it has already been established here on this earth. His Word shows us who we are in Christ and what we have inherited as believers. It is our instruction book to show us how to live a healthy, blessed, prosperous and fruitful life. I believe that it is important to understand that this is what God’s Word is for so that we can grow by its truth and start seeing God’s kingdom outworking in our lives.

In Matthew 13, Luke 8:9-15 and Mark 4 Jesus shares several parables on how God’s Kingdom operates. My personal favourite is the Parable of the Sower because Jesus compares the sowing of natural seed with God’s Word. He reveals that God’s Word is His seed on the earth.

The seed is the word of God. Luke 8:11

Jesus used what the people of that day understood. It’s a simple yet powerful analogy of how God’s Kingdom (nature, power and ability) comes, grows and outworks in our lives.

In the natural earthly realm, God created plants to reproduce after themselves through the growth and germination of seeds. He created a seed with everything within itself to reproduce after its own kind. So when the seed is planted it will come to life, grow and bear fruit. In like manner EVERYTHING has already been programmed into the seed of God’s Word so that when it is sown, ALL BY ITSELF it will come to life, grow and bear fruit in your life!

To be Continued….

I want you to meditate on this simple truth for the next couple of days and also to think on how natural seeds were created to work. Then hopefully as I build on my message it will come alive!

God's Word has ALREADY Been Established

2010-10-08T15:04:00.000+11:00

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my Words will never pass away. Matt 24:35

God’s Word is eternal because His Word stands true forever. This means it is the same today as it was when it was first spoken or written. God does not alter His Word or take back what He has said because it is impossible for Him to change His mind or to lie (Heb 6:18).

My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Ps 89:34 (KJV)

Our Covenant cannot be broken because it wasn’t made between God and men but between God and Himself (Heb 6:13- 18). God has chosen to bind Himself to His Word. He swore by Himself, so it can never be broken (see Is 45:23 and Heb 6:13).

God has already established His Word and Covenant here on this earth. Every provision within it is signed and sealed by the blood of Jesus. When we accepted Christ’s sacrifice we entered into relationship with God and into this Covenant. This means that all that belongs to God now belongs to us. He took our sickness, pain, shame, lack and loss and gave us His health, love, acceptance, fruitfulness and prosperity in every area of our lives!

For where there is a last will and testament involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will and testament is valid and takes effect only at death, since it has no force or legal power as long as the one who made it is alive.Heb 9:16-17 (Amp)

If our earthly parents died and left us possessions in a will then we wouldn’t have to pray, beg or plead for them - we would have inherited them. We would simply need to go and take possession of our new belongings. We don’t need to ask for what already belongs to us, we simply go and possess what God has already provided through His Son.

Now that is Good News!

God's Word is Living and Active!

2010-10-06T11:22:00.002+11:00

Sadly there is a lot of confusion when it comes to God’s Word. Many misinterpret or don’t understand what it is saying so they don’t take the time to read it for what it is worth. But when you take the time to not just read the literal words but instead digest the message of what the words are saying, they will come alive and become a source of life to you!

My words are spirit and they are life. John 6:63 NIV

I love how the Message Version translates this Scripture…

The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle and willpower don’t make anything happen. Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit- word, and so it is life-making. John 6:63 (Msg)

When we need a breakthrough, it is so easy to get caught up in works, self-effort and performance mode where we do everything in our own power to see things change. But through God’s Word we have access to His power because His Words are spirit and life. They are not just ink on paper! So if we embrace the simple, yet powerful truth they bring they can transform our whole life!

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
The Amp Says…For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

We all need to grow in God’s Word and this is two-fold: we need to allow God’s Word to grow in us plus we ourselves need to also grow up in the Word! Jesus Himself told us that we should not live on bread alone but on every Word that comes from the mouth of God (Matt 4:4). We therefore need to learn how to feed and chew on what the Word says so that we can release the life within.

Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so thatyou will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment. 1 Pet 2:2 (NLT)

God wants us to experience the fullness of His Salvation! The Greek word for Salvation means to be complete, perfect and whole in every area of life. Salvation, is not just about the forgiveness of sins because what Jesus purchased was for every area of life.

Therefore start meditating on the truth of what God’s Word says to overthrow wrong attitudes and thoughts so that your minds can be renewed and lives transformed as a result.

God's Word is His will for our Lives!

2010-10-04T16:37:00.001+11:00

Did you realise that you can know God’s will for your life?

God’s will for you isn’t what the doctors say, what your symptoms say, what your diagnosis is, what your bank balance is or what the natural circumstances dictate; but rather what His Word says! It is therefore important that we dig into God's Word so that we can discover what it says and understand His perfect will for every area of our lives. And once we know what it says we then need to start renewing our mind with its truth so that our thinking can be transformed and we can believe it for ourselves.

There may be times in our lives when our circumstances don’t line up with the Word, and we may conclude that what happened was God’s will for that situation. But we need to realise that God’s Word isn’t proven or disproven by our personal experiences. When our circumstances don’t line up with what the Word says, we shouldn’t judge or assume it is God’s will. Instead we should continue to make what God’s Word says to be the final authority, because when we live by that truth that is when it can become reality in our lives.

We can be certain that God’s cannot act contrary to His own Word. God will never break His Word – ever! He has sworn by Himself so we can be confident that He will always keep His promises.

Now that is Good News!

God's Timing?

2010-09-22T17:58:00.000+10:00

I have heard many say that God is waiting until they are ready, or until they have grown or have learnt something before He will heal them or bless them. Let me tell you, this is definitely not scriptural. A lot of people find God through sickness, disease and suffering but that doesn’t mean that God caused or used it. In fact, He will work in spite of it. What Satan intended to harm and destroy, the Lord will take and work for good.

So, does God's timing play a part when it comes to healing? Do we need to sit and wait until God is ready to heal, or bless us?

When it comes to the finished work of the Cross and what Jesus purchased for us, I personally do not believe in ‘God's timing’. This is because it would mean you would be waiting for God to do what He has already done!

We know that when God created Adam and Eve, He created them healthy. He blessed them and told them to go forth and to multiply. Adam and Eve did not suffer with sickness or disease. He made mankind blessed, fruitful, and healthy! Remember, we don't have to come and ask God for what He has already provided for us. If you are struggling in this area you need to understand - it is NOT GOD WITHHOLDING FROM YOU. God is not making you sick - or preventing you from being healed!

When Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the ‘knowledge’ of good and evil, in the Garden of Eden their eyes were opened and they knew evil. Knowledge means to know by observing, calculating and experiencing. Up until that point they only knew good. We know that the result of the fall in the Garden meant that the world was now in a fallen state (it was now cursed for Adam's sake - meaning as a result of what Adam had done). Satan was also made god of this world.

God's Solution

When Jesus died on the Cross, He paid the price for EVERYTHING that came into the world as the result of sin and the fall. Satan is still roaming the earth as the god of this world (for a time) and the consequences of the fall are still at work, and this is why sickness and disease are still operating on the earth. But, praise God, through the work of the Cross JESUS DISARMED IT ALL! He deprived it of power to harm us! He bore it ALL on His body, and He became our substitute. So ANYONE who looks to the Cross LIVES! We do not have to continue to be bitten by this fallen world and the effects of the curse of the law. If we partake of the work of the Cross we can overcome and learn how to walk in victory over what we may experience! Isn’t that exciting?!

Through Jesus, God has made the provision for our healing. And this includes everything that can cause or contribute to any form of sickness, disease or pain upon your body.

We know that when Jesus ascended to heaven - He SAT DOWN! His work was complete! We don't need to pray and ask God for what He has already provided because it is FINISHED! This means sickness and disease and everything that causes them are FINISHED!

Healing is God's plan, purpose and will for all of mankind. That never changes. The causes of sickness, disease, and pain are many and varied, but remember, Jesus has already paid the price for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING holding us back from receiving healing and walking in perfect health! So you can clearly see that God's timing has nothing whatsoever to do with healing. Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father - WAITING FOR YOU - to go and possess EVERYTHING He died to give to you!

So what are you waiting for? GO FORTH AND WALK IN HEALTH!

Waiting on God?

2010-09-17T22:31:00.000+10:00

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. Lam 3:25 (KJV)

Many believe that waiting on the Lord means to wait on the Lord for the length of time that it would take for Him to move in our life. However, the Bible itself explains what it means to wait on the Lord.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14 (KJV)

The original word wait in this Scripture is the Hebrew Word Qavah and it means: to wait or look eagerly for, to hope, to expect.

Translating the above Scripture into the original language should therefore correctly read:

Expect in Jehovah, the One True God, be secure in Him, and He will confirm the determination of your heart. Expect I say, in Jehovah, the One true God.

There are many other Scriptures where the word wait is this same word Qavah (to expect). The Dictionary also defines the word wait as meaning 'to expect'. Therefore, to wait on the Lord does not mean that we sit back passively until something happens. It means that we need to be active and expect to see God's Word outworking in our life.

But they that wait (expect) upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)

Those who expect shall have renewed strength. Not those who are hoping or wishing but for those who have a faith filled expectation to experience all that God has for them.

Expectancy is the breeding ground for miracles!

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1

Expectation fuels our faith and we are strengthened because faith is the substance of what we are expecting!

In the Old Testament Jer 1:12 (NIV) says that… God is watching His Word to perform it. The NKJV reads that ‘God is ready to perform His Word’. God was ready to perform everything He said and those that knew Him expected it to come to pass!

It is important to note that we have a better Covenant based on better promises than the Old Covenant. So when it comes to what Jesus has already purchased through His finished work we don’t have to wait or expect God to perform His Word. Why? Because He has already sent forth His Word and healed you, delivered you, forgiven you and set you free! Hallelujah! This is why all of the promises of God are ‘yes’ and ‘amen’ (so be it) in Christ. But the exciting thing is that what Jesus has purchased are not promises ‘per say’ but rather PROVISIONS! And if you belong to Christ then this is already your inheritance so you can expect to see it outworking in your life!

Now that is Good News!

Strengthen Yourself in the Lord

2010-09-15T11:32:00.000+10:00

One thing that saddens me in this ministry is when I see believers pull back from their relationship with the Lord. If you are struggling in your relationship with the Lord or are finding it difficult to trust Him, then renew your mind with the truth that God is good all the time! He is not withholding anything from you that Jesus has already purchased and what He has already established in His Word. If you stop fellowshipping with Him it will only prolong your situation, and the pain and emptiness you are feeling. God is not your enemy; He is for you, not against you, which means He is on your side!

I WILL bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Ps 34:1 (Amp)

King David, who wrote this psalm, is a great example to us because he knew how to strengthen and encourage himself in the Lord in tough times (1 Sam 30:6). He constantly meditated on and reminded himself of who God is. He often said of the Lord:‘He is my fortress, my tower of strength, my refuge in times of trouble’. The main reason why David was chosen as King over all of Israel and over all his brothers was because he had a heart after the Lord.

I encourage you to run to God and spend time with Him, getting to know Him for who He is. Remind yourself of all the attributes and benefits of God; He has forgiven all your sins and has healed all your diseases (Ps 103:1-3). Meditate on the truth of who He isand on what he has already done for you through His Son! When you know the truth you will realise that God is on your side and that you have already been giveneverything you need in life to experience your breakthrough.

So go forth, be fruitful and multiply!

Your Breakthrough is not EARNED but LEARNED!

2010-09-13T14:34:00.002+10:00

It is so easy to caught up in works, self-effort and in following methods and formula’s trying to get our breakthrough. I remember a time when I used to beg and plead with God and do everything in my own strength to make things happen. I thought that if I just prayed hard enough or believed hard enough then I might get my breakthrough. Instead, I was left feeling worn out, confused and discouraged. But praise God I soon discovered that the victory does not come by trying to get God to move or to do something for us because if you understand the finished work of the Cross you will realise that God has already moved and has already given us everything we need!

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness…2 Pet 1:3 (NIV)

For this reason, we need to come to a place where we get past our own ability and performance to receive from God because receiving from God isn’t about what we can or cannot do (or about what we have or have not done). God’s provision comes only by His glorious grace! And His grace has already come in the presence and person of Jesus! And the price that Jesus paid on the Cross was enough for you to walk in victory in every area of your life - it is a free gift available to ALL who believe in Him. So, if you are ‘trying your best’ to receive your breakthrough or to earn favour from God then you have the wrong focus. Instead, shift from works, methods and formula’s and from your performance to Jesus finished work and to His performance!

Renew your mind with this truth! The breakthrough you need isn’t going to be earned(from what you can or cannot do) but rather learned (by discovering what Jesus has already done).

My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Hos 4:6(NIV)

Knowledge is an important element to faith because if we don’t know what is available then we may not be able to experience the breakthrough we need.

If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; but when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed. Prov 29:18 (Msg)

I love what the Amplified Bible says of this Scripture….

Where there is no vision, no redemptive revelation of God, the people perish… Prov 29:18a (Amp)

When you both know and understand what God has already done for us through His son then you will realise that redemption is not just the payment for the forgiveness of our sins because what Jesus purchased was for every area of our lives. Jesus was the 2ndAdam who redeemed us from ALL that the 1st Adam brought upon us. And when you also know that what you do does not earn you anything then you will understand that praying, fasting, and declaring doesn’t earn BUT simply positions you to receive what has already been done!

I therefore, encourage you to stop focussing on your own performance to earn from God what you need and instead dig into God’s Word to learn what Jesus has already provided! Then when you have discovered the truth do as Paul says in Phil 4:9 (NIV):

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

The rest will be history!

Are you a Servant or a Son?

2010-09-02T22:34:00.001+10:00

How do you view your relationship with God? Do you approach Him as a Servant or as a Son? Many believers struggle in how they relate to God and they get caught up in performance mode in serving God trying to earn favour with Him. But God is not after your service…

The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Matt 20:28

God isn’t after slaves or after someone’s service instead He is after companionship, relationship and intimacy.

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Gal 4:6-7

You are not a slave but a son! God is our Abba Father. Abba is another word for father but is in closer relationship with the word “daddy”. When you come to God in prayer do you approach Him as “Dear God in Heaven…..” or “Daddy, Father?”

Rom 8:15-17 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,

There is a difference between servant and son. As a son you have a position in God’s family. A servant or slave in a household doesn’t receive an inheritance BUT a son does! We DO NOT have to work or earn to receive Salvation or anything else that Jesus redeemed us from because all of this has ALREADY been provided!

Many of us fall short of the goal because we are trying to work for it - or - the opposite, if we feel we are unworthy (not good enough) to receive. But God doesn’t show favouritism! We don’t have to strive! Salvation (along with everything else that Jesus purchased for us) is a free gift from God. This means that we don’t have to work to earn favour with God or to see the answer to our prayers. Instead we need to discover what God has already provided for us in His Word and as Paul said….

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phil 4:9 (NIV)

Understand God's love for YOU!

2010-09-01T11:33:00.000+10:00

Last time we covered some of what God's Word says about His unchanging character. We saw that God is LOVE and in Him is no darkness or wickedness at all. Today I want to share on God’s love for you.

Did you know that God doesn’t just want to know that He loves you But He also wants you to EXPERIENCE His love? You are His child and as His child you can partake, which means to share in or take part in and grow up in a full revelation of His love for you personally.

Look at what His Word says…

May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, 18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; 19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! Eph 3:17-19 (Amp)

Remember always that He is your loving Heavenly Father who longs to have open fellowship with you. The word Fellowship is synonymous with the word Communion and means companionship, intimacy but most importantly joint participation! It is not much fun when any relationship is one sided, so in order for you to grow closer to the Lord I encourage you to spend time getting to know Him. This comes from meditating on His Word and also time resting in Him, where you learn to hear His voice and then line up what you hear with the truth in His Word.

I therefore encourage you to take this scripture in Ephesians and mediate upon what it says until you do not just KNOW that God loves you but you start experiencing His Love for yourself!

Relationship, Relationship, Relationship!

2010-08-30T10:42:00.000+10:00

This week I am going to post some scriptures to encourage you to develop an intimacy in your relationship with God. I find that many believers struggle in this area. They see God as the ‘man upstairs’ that they need to appease rather than a loving Heavenly father that they can fellowship with.

My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me.Hos 4:6 (NLT)

The Bible tells us that Israel only knew God’s acts BUT Moses knew His ways. I believe that is time for us as His New Covenant children to get past just hearing about Him and instead start getting to KNOW Him, personally for ourselves. I encourage you to spend time mediating on the Scriptures I post so that your thinking can be renewed and your life transformed as a result!

This first message is a simple one. Let’s look at what the Bible says about God’s nature and character. I have already listed these on the Hannah’s Victory web site under Hannah’s Story but wanted to post them again here. These are powerful truths that need to form the foundation of our belief on God’s unchanging nature.

The Known Character of God

These are just some of the many references throughout the Bible that describe the loving nature and character of God:-

God is love (1 John 4:8-10,16)
God does not change (Mal 3:6, James 1:17)
God does not lie (Num 23:19, Rom 3:4)
God cannot act contrary to His own character (1 Cor 13 Amp)
God does not alter His Word or break His Covenant (Ps 89:34)
His Word is true and stands forever (1 Pet 1:25)
God does not test or tempt us with evil (James 1:13-17)
God’s Kingdom does not work against itself! A house divided against itself will fall!
ONLY good gifts come from God (James 1:17)
God does not withhold any good thing from those who are righteous (Ps 84:11b)
He is looking to show Himself strong to you (2 Chr 16:9)
All God’s callings and gifts are irrevocable (without repentance), which means that God does not change His mind (Rom 11:29 see Amp and MSG versions).
God does not show partiality or favouritism (Acts 10:34, Rom 2:11), which means that He does not bless one person over another. His gifts and what He has ALREADY provided are freely available to all who believe in Him.
God is light and in him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5)
There is no wickedness in Him (Psalm 92:15)
God is good; his love endures forever. (Psalm 107:1)
God is Slow to anger, abounding in love, faithfulness mercy and compassion (Neh 9:17, Ps 86:15, Jonah 4:2)
The goodness of God leads to repentance (Rom 2:4)
God’s mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13)

This message has also been posted on my Hannah's Victory Blog.

God will NOT fail you!

2010-08-29T21:00:00.000+10:00

God Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down, relax My hold on you! Assuredly not! ⁶So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm. I will not fear or dread or be terrified. What can man do to me? Heb 13:5-6 (Amp)

How to Squash Doubt and Unbelief

2010-08-23T10:58:00.000+10:00

: God's Word is His seed on the earth.

Because we live in a fallen world, we will all face doubts and discouragement from time to time. If we continue to feed on our doubts, or on the negatives we can become so overwhelmed that we may see no way out of our situation. So while doubt and discouragement cannot change God’s unconditional love toward us, it can change our ability to walk in what God has freely provided for us. This very thing happened to the children of Israel. God had said to Moses ‘Send men to spy out the land of Canaan,which I am giving to the children of Israel’ (Num 13:2). But instead of returning with a positive report and a strategy to take the land, 10 of the 12 spies came back with a negative report. And because the people didn’t mix God’s Word with faith, but instead believed the spies’ report, the Israelites spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness.

See Beyond the Natural

When we first discover the truth for our situation in God’s Word, our natural circumstances may seem worlds apart from that truth. Everything in the natural can seem to be against us. We can be in debt, be broke, have no education, have a rotten past, be infertile, have an incurable disease, or be constantly sick and hurting. But nothing in the natural can disqualify you from walking in God’s provision – unless you allow it to. Continue to meditate on God and His Word until your perspective changes and you see yourself with what He has provided for you. Look past the natural hindrances that are preventing your breakthrough and look only to the solution; see your situation through the eyes of faith and stop looking at your circumstances with a natural mindset!

When Joshua and Caleb spied out the Promised Land they were able to look past the natural circumstances. They looked through the eyes of God’s promise; they saw that the giants in the land could easily be defeated. However, the other 10 spies along with the children of Israel focused on the natural hindrances over God’s promise and provision. Their fear of the giants and the natural circumstances caused them to doubt God’s supernatural power and ability, and the credibility of His Word. As a result their perspective changed to the point where, instead of seeing themselves with the victory, they felt and saw themselves like ‘grasshoppers in their own sight’ (Num 13:33). They were defeated in their own sight because they couldn’t see how God was going to get them into the Promised Land past the giants. They looked at all the ‘mountains of impossibility’ they faced in the natural realm, and they forgot the promise of God. We too can fall into the same trap when we look at our own ‘mountains of impossibility’ such as debt, sickness or disease, or our adverse symptoms, diagnosis or circumstances. We need to be like Joshua and Caleb and look at our natural circumstances through the filter of God’s Word, so we are also able to see through the eyes of victory rather than through our natural eyes of defeat!

Believe and do not Doubt in your Heart!

Through our faith in Jesus we have already received everything we need to rule and reign in life. Once we know what we have inherited through Jesus (through God’s Word) we then need to learn how to walk by this truth and not by sight, feelings, symptoms or by what the natural realm is dictating to us. If we do focus on the natural circumstances instead of the truth found in God’s Word, then that is when doubt and unbelief can come in, and if entertained it will take root, grow and bear fruit in our life.

Mark 11:22-23 “Have faith in God”, Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

Did you know that the heart is the place where we decide which report we are going to believe? We therefore need to spend time meditating on the truth of God’s Word until we believe and do not doubt in our heart what it says. Meditating on God’s Word is not meant to be a one-off occurrence but rather a lifestyle of feeding on God’s truth until what it says comes alive and becomes real to you personally.

Go Take the Land!

If you want to possess what God has freely provided for you through Jesus then you too need to GO and possess the land! Keep trusting, believing and pressing through past the natural hindrances until you see the provision manifest in your life. This isn’t about self-effort in terms of working or trying to earn your breakthrough, but is simply about having an unwavering attitude that is determined to possess what already belongs to you. God’s Word paints the picture of what you can expect to see. So begin to see it, feel it and embrace it. Start seeing yourself with the answer rather than without it. What are you waiting for? Squash those doubts and unbelief and Go possess your Promised Land right now!

Ps 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, & he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

The Hebrew for wait is Qavah & means: to wait or look eagerly for, to hope, to expect.

But being New Covenant believers we don't wait passively for God to do something for us. No! Instead we act on what He HAS ALREADY DONE through His son. And this is why we can now EXPECT it to come to pass!

Through Jesus you can overcome!

2010-03-24T13:14:00.002+11:00

John 16:33 (Amp) In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]

In the world you will find information and help on how to cope with what you may experience in life. This may be a great temporary fix. However Jesus came and died to give you the keys to empower you to overcome what you may experience in this fallen world. He has overcome the world, the flesh and the devil so that you can walk in victory over all these areas.

So be encouraged that no matter what you face, in Christ you always have the answers. Through His precious indwelling spirit He will guide you into all truth, make Jesus known to you in that situation and lead you into your victory!

We have been Delivered!

2010-03-15T08:43:00.000+11:00

Col 1:13-14 (Amp) The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, In Whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins.

What an amazing truth - we HAVE BEEN delivered out of the control of darkness! Have been is past tense!

Many Christians are trying to get delivered but they don't realise that God has already delivered them and set them free! Satan's power is in the lie and deception, whereas our power is in the truth. So let the truth of what God's word transform your thinking!

Because Jesus has already paid the price and delivered us we now need to walk by faith in what God has already done and apply this to every area of life.

Now that is Good News!

We have Victory in Jesus!

2010-03-10T11:31:00.000+11:00

Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, stand firm. Let nothing move you (see 1 Cor 15:57). Remember that no matter what you face that God has given you victory through His son, Jesus Christ! So stand firm on what God says about your situation and don't allow the natural situation to move you!

Fix your eyes on Jesus!

2010-03-08T14:04:00.003+11:00

Fix your eyes on Jesus, the AUTHOR and PERFECTER of your faith! If your focus has been on your circumstances then make the shift. You can't do both at the same time. You will be magnifying one and ignoring the other. So make the decision to lose a sin consciousness, self consciousness, devil consciousness, or sickness consciousness, and gain a Christ consciousness to let His power bring life to every situation you face!

Fight the Good Fight of Faith – fight fear with the Word!

2010-01-21T19:41:00.009+11:00

When we are challenged with an adverse or opposing situation, fear is usually the first thing to surface. While the experience of fear is not wrong in itself, it is how we respond to fear that matters. It is important to note that to walk by faith doesn’t mean there is an absence of fear because there will be times when we need to continue walk by the truth in spite of fear. But if we continue to entertain or submit to our fears we can lose sight of the truth of God’s Word and fear can easily overwhelm us. When this occurs and we react only to the natural circumstances, we may not experience the breakthrough we need. We therefore need to learn how to recognise and overcome fear so that we don’t lose sight of the truth or give up hope, but rather continue to act on who we are in Christ and on what we are believing for.

Replace Fear with Faith!

To have lasting victory over fear we need to replace our fears by meditating on the truth of what God’s Word says about who we are in Christ, what we have already received and God’s unconditional love for us. If we don’t, then fear will deceive us into believing in and giving into the strength of the natural situation. We need to trust what God has already established for us in His Word because when we believe the truth the devil has no more ammunition. Even God trusts His Word. He has exalted His Word above His name (Ps 138:2). But don’t simply quote scripture - the power of God is released when you believe His Word, act on it by declaring that truth, and exercise His power and authority over the situation!

God’s Medicine for Fear

I encourage you to meditate on the following scriptures, which deal with the subject of fear, along with those that describe who you are in Christ. Continue to renew your mind with them and make them personal to you by speaking them out as a confession over your life.

What God Says…

Is 41:10 Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Josh 1:9 Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. (Deut 31:6 Similar)

Prov 1:33 Whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.

1 John 4:18 (NKJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

What You Can Say…

Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so!

Begin to confess the following scriptures over your life!

God is my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore I will not fear. Ps 46:1-2

I will not be afraid but I will trust in God and what His Word says. What can mortal man do to me? Ps 56:3-4

In righteousness I am established: tyranny will be far from me; I have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near me. Is 54:14

God did not give me a spirit of timidity - of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear - but He has given me a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. 2 Tim 1:7 (Amp)

Amen!

Watch your Vision!

2009-12-28T14:13:00.000+11:00

Did you know that Faith has vision?

Faith has vision because it both sees and knows the end result. It enables you "to see" the things you desire before you receive them. But i’m not talking about looking through your natural eyes but rather through the eyes of faith. That means to look through the eyes of God’s Word because His Word ‘paints the picture’ of what we want to receive. Praise God that there is nothing blind about faith!
While faith has vision it is important to note that fear has vision too! While faith pictures us with the answer, meditating on fear pictures us without it!

For example: Fear sees you without the answer Faith sees you with the answer Fear sees the worst result Faith sees the desired result Fear links you to the natural Faith links you to the supernatural
Therefore, it is important to learn to recognise when you are looking at your circumstances through the eyes of fear so you can stop, change focus, and walk by faith in what God’s Word says instead!

I have a girlfriend whose son was suffering from an undiagnosed medical condition. However, all the test results were leaning towards leukemia. At first my girlfriend was overcome by fear. She allowed fear to lead her and as she meditated upon the fears she began to picture her son without hair due to future treatment, picture herself at his funeral and even visiting his grave! After we chatted and prayed together on the phone she made the decision to picture her son’s condition through the eyes of what God’s Word instead. She began to see him healed, as a young man graduating from high school and university, on his wedding day and on presenting her with her first grandchild. She also exercised her authority over the physical condition of His body and commanded healing to manifest. Needless to say the test results came back clear of leukemia and he recovered from that condition!

So let this simple message encourage you to only focus on what God's Word says about your situation so that you can see the supernatural transform the natural.

That's Living above the Line!

Fight Fear with God's Love!

2009-12-07T10:06:00.000+11:00

When it comes to facing and overcoming fear we need to know the POWER of God’s love toward us!

1 John 4:18 (NKJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. (NIV says… fear has to do with punishment).

To have lasting victory over fear we need to replace our fears by meditating on the truth of God’s unconditional love for us.

Rom 8:14-16 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

Rom 8:38-39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Below is one of my favourite Scriptures on God's love. I encourage you to spend time meditating on what this is saying to you personally until God's love comes alive and real to you personally...

Eph 3:16-19 (Amp) May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. ¹⁷May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!

Be Anxious for Nothing!

2009-11-23T08:48:00.003+11:00

Everyone experiences fear in differing degrees. Some may simply have niggling concerns that don’t seem to go away, whereas for others fear can be a controlling force in their lives. While fear can often manifest as a result of a sudden fright, shock or a traumatic situation, more often than not fear develops when we begin to worry or become anxious.

There are many fears and concerns that can arise in our lives. The Bible exhorts us however, not to worry or be anxious about anything (Phil 4:6). Worry or anxiety left unchecked will grow like a weed and choke the life from the Word of God, preventing it from growing and bearing fruit in our life. Instead, we need to resist, (oppose, withstand and strive against) any fears or concerns and they will ﬂee from us! This means that the very second that we begin to question God’s truth or become fearful we need to react. We must make the conscious decision at the onset not to allow worry to take root, or entertain any thoughts or any impressions of fear. Don’t ignore these, instead resist and replace them by meditating on God’s Word and reminding yourself of the truth of who you are in Christ and what belongs to you as a believer. That way you will not only grow in the truth, but overcome and walk in victory over fear!

Now that is Living above the Line!

Replacing Fear With Faith!

2009-11-20T08:07:00.005+11:00

Isn’t it so often true that while we may be hoping for the best, in reality we are actually fearing the worst? While it is not a sign of failure to experience fear as everyone will do so at times, the more attention we give to our fears, the more power they can have over us, and if we don’t know how to overcome those fears they can then easily end up controlling our lives. I have had many instances in my life where I have been consumed by fear. In fact, I used to be a slave to fear. It ruled my life. I now live in victory over fear, but it wasn’t until I learned to overcome that I realised how much fear had bound me.

Fear will never be your friend! Fear, when unchallenged, will cause us to lose sight of who we are in Christ and what we have already inherited as a believer. When this occurs we are deceived into thinking that we are weak and powerless. So while faith enables us to trust in God (His nature, character and power) and act on His Word, fear disables that ability.

Fear will always try to exalt itself in our minds to be greater than the power of God and His Word. If we don’t know how to gain victory over fear, especially in challenging circumstances, we may not be able to exercise authority over the situation to walk in our breakthrough. We therefore need to learn how to recognise, face and replace fear, because fear left unchallenged will not go away on its own.

2 Tim 1:7 (Amp) For God did not give us a spirit of timidity - of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear - but He has given us a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.

God has not given us a spirit of timidity or fear! He has given us His Spirit of power and authority over all the works and power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). And this includes fear! Therefore, know and act on this truth instead of allowing fear to torment you any longer.

Over the next few posts I will show you how to face and overcome fear!

Leave your past in the past

2009-06-01T11:12:00.002+10:00

For those following this blog you would have read about how God sees our past and how we can walk in victory over our past once and for all. While information on what God's Word says is a great start for any breakthrough it is not enough on its own. We need to also put that information to work and apply it to our daily life to see that truth become a reality in our life. This can be as simple as starving the lies and feeding on the truth of who we are in Christ. This may seem like a constant battle at first but the more you feed on the truth the stronger that truth becomes.

So always remember that if you are in Christ – then it no longer matters what you have done, or haven’t done or even what has been done to you in your past.

Jesus came to set the captives free! Whether you are captive to sin, emotional or physical pain, anxiety, sickness, disease, taunts from your past!

Therefore, bring your past, no matter what happened to the Cross. Jesus took all your pain, and shame. He paid the price so you can be forgiven, healed, delivered, and set free from the stain and power of sin and be made whole! See your past as God sees it – IT IS FINISHED!

Rom 6:6 – tells us that our old self was crucified [past tense] with Christ! This means that we are now dead to sin, dead to sickness and disease, dead to pain, shame and condemnation and we are alive to God!

Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Most of us need to be delivered from our ‘selves!’ We need to lose a ‘self’ consciousness and gain a ‘God’ consciousness. Self-consciousness is a self-awareness, where our focus becomes all about ‘me’. We must get over our ‘self’ and begin to believe who we are in Christ and what we have received in Him. So from this moment on count yourself dead to sin, to guilt, shame, condemnation and from whatever happened in your past and start counting yourself alive to the power of God!

The rest will be history!

Forget the Past

2009-05-24T18:32:00.001+10:00

As we have already seen in earlier posts, Satan has no legal right to enforce your past and make you feel guilty, condemned, punished or unworthy to receive from God – unless you allow him to!

Meditate and declare the truth in God’s Word, renewing your mind and transforming the way you see yourself and what you believe about your past!

Is 43:25 (Amp) I, even I, am He Who blots out and cancels your transgressions, for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins.

Forget basically means to fail to remember due to carelessness. We are able to forget certain things in life because they are not important to us. When it comes to our past, this is the place where we need to be! Forgetting our past because it is no longer of any importance! We are called to forget the former things and not dwell on the past (Is 43:18).

1 John 3:21 (Amp) And, beloved, if our consciences (our hearts) do not accuse us [if they do not make us feel guilty and condemn us], we have confidence (complete assurance and boldness) before God…

Not every spiritual attack is of the devil. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy and make a mess of things ourselves. God does not condemn us so make sure that your own hearts don’t condemn you either. Make the decision to forgive and forget others and also ourselves and let go of the past!

Before the Apostle Paul knew Christ, he persecuted and killed Christians! If anyone could feel guilty, I am sure he would but he knew and led by example on how to deal with our past. He considered everything he did and who he was before Christ as dung….

Phil 3:8-10 (KJV) Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection…

Phil 3:13-14 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But 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.
