In Perfect Harmony

Give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. 2 Corinthians 6:3
Scripture reading:
2 Corinthians 13:4–12

God wants to show us that we must so live in the Spirit that the ministry is not blamed.
There are thousands and thousands of different churches, but they are all one in the Spirit to the extent that they receive the life of Christ. If there is any division, it is always outside of the Spirit. The spiritual life in the believer never has known dissension, because where the Spirit has perfect liberty, there is total agreement, and there is no schism in the body. Amen

Changed by the Word

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.
Psalm 119:9
Scripture reading: Psalm 119:17–40

God can so change us by His Word day by day that we are altogether different.
“Your word has given me life” (Ps. 119:50). “He sent His word and healed them” (Ps. 107:20). How beautiful that God can make His Word abound! “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You!” (Ps. 119:11).
Believe and receive the Word of God, and you will always be on sure ground. Receive God’s words so that they will build you on a new foundation of truth.
Amen

God’s Wonder-Working Power

Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can declare all His praise?
Psalm 106:2
Scripture reading: Psalm 106

God wants us to see that the power of God coming upon people has something more in it than we have yet known. The power to heal and to baptize is available, but you must say, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” (Acts 9:6). You say it is four months before the harvest. If you had the eyes of Jesus, you would see that the harvest is already here (John 4:35). The Holy Spirit wants you for the purpose of manifesting Jesus through you. Oh, may you never be the same again! The Holy Spirit moving upon us will make us to be like Him, and we will truly say, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” say Amen Jason

The Secret of Power

Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you? Acts 19:15 Scripture reading: Acts 19:13–20

There must be a resemblance between you and Jesus. The evil spirit said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” Paul had the resemblance. You are not going to get this resemblance without having His presence; His presence changes you. You are not going to be able to get the results without the marks of the Lord Jesus. You must have the divine power within yourself; devils will take no notice of any power if they do not see Christ.
The difference in these exorcists was that they did not have the marks of Christ, so the manifestation of the power of Christ was not seen. If you want power, don’t make any mistake about it. If you speak in tongues, don’t mistake that for the power. If God has given you revelations along certain lines, don’t mistake that for the power. Or if you have even laid hands on the sick and they have been healed, don’t mistake that for the power. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me” (Luke 4:18)—that alone is the power. Don’t be deceived. There is a place to be reached where you know the Spirit is upon you so that you will be able to do the works that are accomplished by this blessed Spirit of God in you. Amen

Peace in Our Hearts

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3
Scripture reading:
Isaiah 54:5–55:9

We must keep in the spiritual tide—God supreme, the altar within the body. Faith is the evidence, the power, the principle, keeping us in rest. We must have the Spirit in anointing, intercession, revelation, and great power of ministry. To be baptized in the Holy Spirit is to be in God’s plan—the Spirit preeminent, revealing the Christ of God, making the Word of God alive—something divine. Amen

Have a blessed weekend

Full of Life

Be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19
Scripture reading: Ephesians 3:14–21

We want our whole being to be so full of the life of our Lord that the Holy Spirit can speak and act through us. We want to live always in Him.
We want to act in the Holy Spirit. We want to breathe out divine life. We want the glory, miracles, and wonders that work out the plan of the Most High God. We want to be absorbed by God, and we want to know nothing among men except Jesus and Him crucified (1 Cor. 2:2). Unto You, O God, be the glory and the honor and the power (Rev. 5:13)!
Amen

Speech Inspired by the Spirit

My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45:1 Scripture reading: Isaiah 50:4; Psalm 15:1–16:1

Oh, for more people to believe God that “the tongue of the dumb [might] sing” (Isa. 35:6). When will they? When they believe and fulfill the conditions. Oh, beloved, it is not easy. Jesus died and rose again for the possibility. “Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22). The whole man needs to be immersed in God so that the Holy Spirit may operate and the dying world may have the ministry of life for which
it is famished. Amen

The world  seeks what they cannot  find because they know not what they are seeking. As Christians  we are that light in a world of darkness, lighting a path for those to come out.

The Spirit Is upon Me

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me. Luke 4:18 Scripture reading:
Luke 4:1–21

God is bringing us to a place where we know that the Spirit of the Lord is upon us. If we have not gotten to that place, God wants to bring us to the fact of what Jesus said in John 14: “I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper [‘Comforter,’ kjv], that He may abide with you forever” (v. 16). Because the Spirit of the Lord came upon Him who is our Head, we must see to it that we receive the same anointing, and that the same Spirit is upon us. The Devil will cause us to lose the victory if we allow ourselves to be defeated by him. But it is a fact that the Spirit of the Lord is upon us, and as for me, I have no message apart from the message He will give, and I believe that the signs He speaks of will follow. 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

It is in the hard places where we see no help that we cry out to God. He delivers 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), when the angel came just in time and ministered and saved Him from death. Now He can send angels to us. When? Just when we are about to go straight down. At such times in the past, did He not stretch out to us a helping hand? Amen

The Life of God within Us

All things were made through Him. John 1:3 Scripture reading: Galatians 3:1–14

All was made by the Word. We are begotten by His Word. There is a substance within us that has almighty power in it if I dare to believe. Faith is an act, a reality, a deposit of God, an almighty flame moving me to act, so that signs and wonders are manifested. His life is manifested power overflowing. We must decrease if the life of God is to be manifested. (See John 3:30.) There is not room for two kinds of life in one body.
As you die to human desire, there comes a fellowship within, perfected cooperation, you ceasing, God increasing. God in you is a living substance, a spiritual nature. You live by another life, the “faith in the Son of God” (Gal. 2:20). Amen

Four Helps for the Heart

May the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 1 Peter 5:10 Scripture reading:
1 Peter 5

The God of all grace wants to do the following in us: first, “perfect”; second, “establish”; third, “strengthen”; and fourth, “settle.”
(Heb. 13:20–21).

Second is “establish.” You must beestablished in the fact that it is His life, not yours. You must have faith in His Word, faith in His life. You are supplanted by Another. You are disconnected from the earth. You are insulated by faith.

Third is “strengthen.” You are strengthened by the fact that God is doing the business, not you. You are in the plan that God is working out.

Fourth is “settle.” What does it mean to be settled? It means knowing that I am in union with His will, that I am established in the knowledge of it, that day by day, I am strengthened. It is an eternal work of righteousness, until by the Spirit we are perfected.

Knowing Our Need

If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well. Mark 5:28
Scripture reading:
Mark 5:25–6:6

What a privilege to care for the flock of God, to be used by God to encourage the people, to help stand against the many trials that affect the needy. What a holy calling! We each have our own work, and we must do it, so that boldness may be ours in the day of the Master’s appearing, and so that no man can take our crowns (Rev. 3:11).
We must have a willingness, a ready mind, a yielding to the mind of the Spirit. There is no place for the child of God in God’s great plan except in humility.
In Mark 5:25–34, we have the story of the woman who had suffered many things from many physicians and had spent all that she had. She was no better but rather grew worse. She said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” She came to know her need. It is when we are empty and undone, when we come to God in our nothingness and helplessness, that He picks us up.
