Rise up and walk

Acts 3:6-8
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.


As I read these words the other day I heard the Lord say to me, Thats what I want you to do.
I want you like peter and John to help my people get up and walk.
To sow the word of faith into their hearts.

This blog site exists for that very reason.
Everything I share here will come from that desire.

I want you as a child of God to possess everything that belongs to you.

I want to help you walk into your prosperity, your healing, your deliverance, your joy, your peace.
I have just uploaded a new message to sermon player entitled Rise up and walk.

I believe this message will encourage and empower you to get up from the place you are spiritually speaking, and walk into the new beginning God has for your life.

The flight of the bumblebee

They say: it is impossible (scientifically) impossible for a bumblebee to fly, the biggest and best computers in the world along with the greatest scientific minds all agree (it is aerodynamically impossible for the bumblebee to fly).

It’s wings are too small, it’s body is too big

The only problem is; the bumblebee doesn’t know it can’t fly

It doesn’t know it’s breaking the laws of Aerodynamics, It doesn’t know that its body is too big and it’s wings too small.

In spite of what anyone thinks or says, the bumblebee just keeps on flying because there’s something built into that bumblebee, that God put there, and it tells that bumblebee you can fly.

So in contradiction to every law of nature and the laws of science and Aerodynamics, the Bumblebee refuses to be (limited) to natural laws, and opinions of men, and it just keeps on flying.

I said this to encourage you today to believe God for impossible things in your life, to turn your faith loose, to dare to dream
According to the word of God you cannot dream too big for God
According to the word of God there is no such thing as impossible for God
and when we get hooked up with God, connected with God, then all things become possible for us.

Mt 19:26 With God nothing is impossible,

Mk 9:23 All things are possible to him that believeth

Lu 18: 27 The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God.

Too often we limit God to human agencies

we trust God that we can borrow the money, take out a loan, and that will take care of the problem. Or We trust God that we can go to the doctor and the doctor will take care of the problem. Or the lawyer, or the marriage counselor, or AA or Drug rehab or Anger management classes.

Yes God can and does use human resources and human agencies, but the worst thing we can do is Limit God to the ability of human resources,

Jer 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

So every time your circumstances say (impossible) just remember the Bumblebee and remember "you were created to fly".

It's worth the fight

Many believers have the attitude that just because they are saved and in the family of God, that now God is supposed to give them everything they ever dreamed of without any effort, or work or discipline on their part.
The fact is, it costs what it costs and it never goes on sale.

Yes God wants to prosper you and bless you, but sometimes you’re going to have to go through something.
Sometimes you have to struggle, Sometimes you have to fight.
There is something in the struggle that is necessary to becoming what God has ordained us to be.

God left giants in the promised land on purpose
#1 Because they needed to learn how to fight
#2 Because giants distinguish the difference between professors and possessors.
It’s one thing to confess the promises of God, it’s another thing to strap on your sword and go toe to toe with your giants and possess your promises.
#3 Giants expose the grasshoppers in the crowd (When giants show up grasshoppers speak up).
Grasshoppers usually blend into their environments but giants uncover them.
Remember that grasshoppers don’t eat grapes, You will never have promise land faith with a grasshopper mentality.
#4 You get to know yourself in the struggle ( the real you comes out under pressure).
#5 You get to know your God, you realize that God is your only help.
#6 You get stronger, you put down roots, you dig into the word and prayer.
#7 You become aware of the excesses and unnecessary things in your life.
#8 The struggle produces thankfulness (example ) someone survives a tornado, their house is gone their car is gone but they are so thankful that they are still alive, the family is together.

When you know you had to fight for what you got:
a.You appreciate it more
b.You won’t let anyone take it from you

#9 Struggles test your level of commitment
The only way to truly gauge your level of commitment is through the struggle

#10 The struggle qualifies you for rest
Mt 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
#11 The struggle qualifies you for the reward:
David heard them speak of a reward, but he knew the reward was only for the person who would fight and KILL Goliath.
1Sam 17:25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.

We should understand that many times the struggle, the fight, the warfare, the praying, the waiting patiently, the enduring, is as important as the blessing or reward
While we are looking at the reward, God is looking at the development that is taking place through the struggle.
Faith is forged in the furnace of adversity
