Receive God’s Grace

We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
2 Corinthians 6:1
Scripture reading: Psalm 51

People are getting blessed all the time and are receiving revelation. They go from one point to another, but they do not establish themselves in the thing that God has brought to them.
People could be built up much more in the Lord and be more wonderfully established if they would step out sometimes and think over the graces of the Lord.
Grace will be multiplied on certain conditions. How? In the first chapter of 2 Timothy, we have these words: “The genuine faith that is in you” (v. 5). Everyone in the entire church of God has the same precious faith within him. Amen

Higher Ground

Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established. 2 Chronicles 20:20 Scripture reading: Mark 9:19–29

God wants to give us higher ground, holier thoughts, and a more concentrated, clearer ministry. Like a rising tide every day. A changing of faith; it is an attitude of the spirit where God rises higher and higher. We need to come to the place where we will never look back. There is no room for the person who looks back.
(See Genesis 19:15–26.)

Are you ready to stretch yourself out to God and to believe that “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Heb. 11:6). You do not need to use vain repetitions when you pray (Matt. 6:7). Simply ask and believe. Amen

Yield and Obey

Yield yourselves to the Lord.
2 Chronicles 30:8
Scripture reading: John 15:1–14

Do you know that God has called you over and over and has put His hand upon you, but you have not yielded? Have you had the breathing of His power within you, calling you to prayer, and you have to confess that you have failed?
If there are any buts in your attitude toward the Word of truth, there is something unyielded to the Spirit.

At the Lord’s Service Lord

What do You want me to do? —Acts 9:6 Scripture reading: Acts 9:1–22

Lets start with Acts 9
Saul was confronted with a bright light from heaven. A voice spoke, Saul asked who was speaking.  when Jesus identified Himself, Saul’s response was, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” When Saul was willing to yeild, he was in a place where God could use him.
If you are saying, I want the baptism of the Holy Spirit,  or I want to be healed. Are the conditions right for God to come in and meet your needs?
The place of yieldedness is just where God wants us.
The main thing today that God wants is obedience. When you begin yielding and yielding to God, He has a plan for your life, and you come in to that wonderful place where all you have to do is eat the fruits of Canaan. Amen

The Ministry of the Spirit

Nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus. —Acts 20:24
Scripture reading: Romans 13:14–14:19
We are entrusted with the ministry of the Spirit ministry. We are to be in the place of edifying the church. Law is not liberty, but if there is a move of God within you, God has written His laws in your heart so that you may delight in Him. God desires to set forth in us a perfect blending of His life and our lives so that we may have abounding inward joy—a place of reigning over all things, thrive not survive. There is a great difference between thriving and surviving.
God says to us, “Be holy, for I am holy” (1 Pet. 1:16). Trying will never cause us to reach a place of holiness, but there is a place, or an attitude, where God gives us faith to rest on His Word, and we delight inwardly over everything. “I delight to do Your will, O my God” (Ps. 40:8). There is a place of great joy. Amen

Seasoned with Salt

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt. —Colossians 4:6 Scripture reading: James 3

Salt has three properties: first, it stings; second, it heals; and third, it preserves. In the same way, your words by the Spirit are filled with grace, yet they cut to the heart, and they bring preservation. We must be very careful to be salty. God’s Word will not return void; it will accomplish, and it will prosper (Isa. 55:11)—but our mouths must be clean and our desire wholly for God.
How true we have to be! You are seasoned with salt. It is inspiring! It is conviction! Thus the Holy Spirit writes on the fleshly tablets of the temple of the Spirit (2 Cor. 3:3). O Lord, enlarge our sense of Your presence in the temple so that we may discern the Lord’s body in our midst.
Amen

Consolation out of Affliction

If we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation….Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
2 Corinthians 1:6
Scripture reading: Isaiah 51:9–16

These consolations (relief, comfort) come out of deprivation (lack), affliction (anguish), and endurance (long suffering ). “Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead” (2 Cor. 1:9).
I pray to God that He may never find us “kick[ing] against the goads” (Acts 9:5). We may have to go through  testing; divine healing, purity of heart, baptism in the Holy Spirit and in fire—we are tested for these truths. We will not be without testing. But the   glory will rise. We go down into trials also to be sustained and brought out for the glory of God. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom. 8:31). “For our light affliction (anguish), which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (2 Cor. 4:17). Oh, the joy of being worthy of suffering! How will I stand the glory that will be after? Amen

Yielding to God’s Plan

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. —2 Corinthians 1:5

Scripture reading: 1 Corinthians 12:12–27

Chastening brings or places  upon us fruits unto holiness. It is in these dark places where we see no help that we cry out to God. He will deliver us so that we can help the tempted. It was said of Jesus that He was “in all points tempted as we are” (Heb. 4:15). Where did He receive strength to comfort us? It was at the end of “vehement cries and tears” (Heb. 5:7)
God takes us to a place of need, and before we are barely aware of it, we are full of consolation toward the needy.
We are members of one another. When God’s breath is upon us and we are quickened by the Holy Spirit, we can pour into each other wonderful ministries of grace and helpfulness. Amen

The Flood Tide of Revival

Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? —Psalm 85:6
Scripture reading: Psalm 85:7–86:13

Wherever He went, multitudes followed Him, because He lived, moved, breathed, clothed, and filled by Spirit of God. He was God; the Spirit of God rested upon Him it was the anointing that was drapped over Him like a coat shinning bright. Jesus came to impart to us the Spirit of holiness and truth that the Word embodies.
God must do something to increase, like a revival to revive all we touch within us and outside of us. A flood tide with a deluge behind it.
God increase in us we must be triumphant for souls to be born into a new relationship with heaven. Jesus had all divine authority and all divine  power,  He left it for us. We must preach truth, holiness, and purity “in the inward parts” (Ps. 51:6). Thirst for more of God. Amen

Resist the Devil

Often we realize that certain trials in our lives are the work of the enemy, and we cry out to God to rebuke him and alter circumstances for us. However, God’s Word tells us to rebuke the enemy ourselves. In James 4:7 we are told, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” The authority over the devil is ours. The responsibility is ours. If we’ll resist the devil, he will flee from us. The Bible doesn’t say, “Get somebody else to resist the devil for you”; it says we are to resist the devil. Too many of us sit idly by, waiting for Jesus to do something when we are the ones who are supposed to resist the devil. Why? Because we have the authority to! (We always want somebody else to do what we’re supposed to do.)
Of course we’re always going to have spiritual babies, and we ought to carry them on our faith, but some of us ought to grow up enough to be able to help look after the babies and not leave it up to the pastor to do everything. Amen

How to Deal With Demons

We’ve got to depend on the Spirit of God to know when demons are present and to know how to deal with them. We’re helpless without both the Spirit and the Word. Don’t just be a Word person without the Spirit, and don’t just be a Spirit person without the Word. Many try to act on the Word of God without the Spirit of God. You’ve got to have both of them. The Spirit and the Word agree.
You can be released from oppression to your body and your mind. You can exercise spiritual authority over others as long as they are in your presence. You can take authority over all unseen forces. If you learn how to exercise spiritual authority like this, it will work in your home as well. Amen
