Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.”
Understand and meditate on what you are in Christ. Never think of your lack; think of the vast inheritance that is yours, for you know that He has given you the ability to enjoy all that belongs to you.
“Giving thanks unto the Father, who has given us the ability to enjoy our share of the inheritance of the saints in light” – Colossians 1:12. You have His fulness which may be undeveloped in you.
You may never have taken advantage of the riches of the glory of your inheritance in Christ. You were created in Christ. There is no limit to your walk and to your ability.
1 Corinthians 11:28-30, “But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.”
Communion is the “mystical form” of the Tree of Life, hidden from the spiritually blind. Jesus said that if we partake unworthily (without understanding that He Himself is the Tree of Life), we are merely partaking of the process of death, receiving bread and the fruit of the vine – another good meal and we are that much closer to death.
But, if we partake with spiritual understanding, knowing what we are doing, we will no longer be weak, sickly, and dying prematurely. Rather, as we rightly partake of communion, we are receiving “quickening life-giving Spirit,” and we will be living.
Genesis 39:20,21 – “Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him;”
No twist or turn—not even abuse, slavery, slander or imprisonment—could hold back the fulfillment of God’s destiny for Joseph’s life. What people meant for evil, God used for good.
God has not forgotten you. Even when the opposite of your destiny seems to be happening, He is faithful. His promise to you holds power, and He will use every detour and delay to fulfill His promise and bring Himself glory.
Revelation 22:2: “In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
The winds of change are blowing over the Church right now. God is breathing transition over much of the Body of Christ.
If you are in a season where you feel extremely restless, it could be that God is preparing your heart for transition. You may feel this way because even though you are still dwelling in your present season, God is declaring new things in your heart, which will give you courage to step out of the old and into the new. God often transitions your heart before He transitions your circumstances.
These winds are going to begin to also fan into flames the fire that God has placed in our hearts.
We are living in a time where God wants to fan into flames the fire of revival, however, we also need to be embracing His winds to fan the Refiner’s fire as well. The Refiner’s fire comes upon the hearts of God’s children to burn away the chaff of orphanship as they hunger to understanding their inheritance in Christ, their right standing with God, and how to walk in the Spirit –therefore revealing refined sons and daughters. It aligns hearts so that what God wants to release over the Church will be able to be stewarded healthily and orderly.
He is realigning our circumstances, vision, and direction, or bringing shifts within our heart as He brings fresh order. God is blowing His winds of change so that the leaves of the Tree of Life will bring healing to the nations. He is fanning into flames the Fire of Revival and the Refiner’s Fire, so that we will not only be able to catch what the Lord is releasing, but that we will also steward it with longevity.
John 15:5 – “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”
When we stay fresh in the Spirit of the Lord, we also will grow in our relationship with the Lord. The place of abiding is the place of union we find in John 15:5. The scripture says we will bear fruit for His glory out of the substance of the supply of His boundless anointing.
As we move from our current level to a new level of ability in the Lord, we partake of an increase in the flow of the anointing of the Holy Spirit on our life. In this flow, we will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in new strength, inspiration, joy, and confidence in the Lord. We hunger for fresh bread from the Word every day.
“For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” – Ephesians 2:10
Whether or not you feel you are fulfilling your destiny, you are being prepared by the King of kings for His good purposes. You were chosen by God and have been given a divine DESTINY in eternities past. Why? The Lord is CALLING you to partner with Him to shape the future of the Kingdom of God (see 2 Corinthians 6:1,2: “And working together with Him……now is the acceptable time.”)! This seems almost too marvelous to be true, but it is the Word of God.
What does it mean to be “HIS workmanship”? The Greek term translated workmanship is “poiema”, from which we derive the English word poem. Indeed, we are God’s poem, written in ages past to be a living testimony of His presence on earth (see Psalm 139:16-17). Without exception, every Believer has been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has ordained for us.
REVELATION OF ANOINTING
The desperate cry of many Believers is: “Oh, Lord, let Your works appear unto Your people” (see Psalm 90:16-17). The good news is that God’s anointing rests upon upright followers of Jesus, and we will fulfill His purposes on earth. God has not only ordained good works for us, but He has also provided the grace we need to perform these works (see Philippians 4:13). We all have “an unction to function.” Each one of us is anointed to fulfill the purposes of God (see Acts 1:8).
As we move deeper into this season of sensitivity and revelatory enlightenment, we must step into our CALLING and DESTINY — fixing our eyes on Jesus and Him alone. Only in His light do we see light (see Psalm 36:9). Only in His presence do we obtain a happy, holy heart (see Psalm 16:11).
LEADERS WITH PURE HEARTS
Divinely appointed leaders are emerging who have a single heart’s goal to establish the King in His Kingdom on earth. Christ Jesus will have for Himself a people prepared to do greater works (see John 14:12). This is not a time for any Believer or leader in the Body of Christ to be humdrum, expecting only what we have seen and experienced before. We have never been where we are going now (see Joshua 3:4). We all must prepare for what is ahead: The call to embrace the awe of Almighty God. A wonderful, reverential fear of the Lord is returning to the people of God, releasing the wisdom of God (see Psalm 111:10).
The hearts and lives of millions are going to be touched and transformed by the power of God during these days, as God’s people return to a radical love for Christ and action regarding God’s PURPOSE for their life supported by that love.
REVELATION AND STRATEGIES
The Spirit of Truth is releasing revelatory insights for all who are willing to hear Him with a heart set to obey what He is requesting (see James 1:22). Prepare to see an acceleration of the advancing of God’s plans and purposes. God will have a people of purity and power, who live, move (initiating action instead of complacency), and have a revelation of God’s CALLING in Christ on their life.
Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Believers get confused and sometimes disillusioned because Things in the spirit realm are often not predictable. They ask: How long do I need to pray to get a breakthrough? When will I step into greater increase and blessing? When will there be a shift in my family for the better? Where is my healing miracle?
The simple and unpopular answer is it’s a test of faith. Hebrews 11:6 says, “And without faith it is impossible to please God…”
Are you digging a well now, believing to step into overflow? Keep digging. See the water coming soon with the eyes of faith.
Do you have family struggles? Envision growth.
Do you have financial challenges? Work hard, sow faithfully and believe big.
Do you have physical ailments? Get in the Word and read and meditate on every Scripture about healing.
Get around faith-filled friends and believe together.
Psalm 118:5-6 “From my distress I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me in a large place. The Lord is for me; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
We can unknowingly become attached to our own abilities, the world’s structure, religious thinking, relationships, influence, gifts and responsibilities more than the ways of God. Sometimes in our life’s journey we can see how our old attachments have held us in unbelief, fear, and a false sense of security.
God has an agenda for us to be aligned with His heart, ready to move, with NO ATTACHMENTS! In the NEW, there will be responsibilities and structure, but it will not be the same as the old because that mindset has been stripped away, as we establish ourselves in the mind of Christ. For we HAVE the mind of Christ!
1 Corinthians 2:16 TPT “For who has ever intimately known the mind of the Lord Yahweh well enough to become His counselor? Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions.”
Isaiah 60:1-2 – “When darkness is covering across our land, the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon His people.” There will be tangible evidence of God’s glory in great ways in the coming days.
In covenant victory of the cross, relationship between the person and God is established and sealed by the Holy Spirit, thus in turn allowing the person to experientially enjoy the fellowship of communion and growth in that relationship.
As the glory of God comes, there’s also power. In Acts 1:8 it says, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” He empowers us with His power to be a witness, the anointing of the Holy Spirit. When the glory comes, there is also the power of God.
When people encounter the power of God, they will be set free, they will be ministered to, and even their very emotions will be changed. As believers, we should have a perpetual hunger and desire to experience more of God’s glory.
2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” The word carries the glory of God and the power of God.
As you turn up your expectancy that this will be one of the most powerful times of increase that will come from the glory and the power of the Lord in your life. This increase will come as a result of God’s Glory and God’s Power that you encounter fresh every day. Go into this season with a higher level of expectation than your previous season — the Lord is going to strengthen you, anoint you, empower you, and favor you to see even greater increase in this new season of time.
There are things that He has purposed for you (your calling in Christ); there are things the Lord wants to strengthen you to believe for again. In His glory and power, there is no limitation. Because of His inexhaustible supply, we can see limits lifted off. We can see great and mighty things take place because of the measureless realm of God. Lift your vision higher. Set your expectation on the Lord.
Romans 10:17, it says, “So then faith comes by hearing and hearing, by the Word of God.”
Christ gave us the gift of faith when we received Him. We must hear the Word of God. The best way to hear it is to say it out loud as we go throughout the day. Also, meditate on it and visualize ourselves in the Word. It is Christ’s faith in us, not our own faith, that we take up and use.
“In Christ lives all the fullness of God” (Colossians 2:9) — “and in Christ you have been brought to fullness” Colossians 2:10) — “as the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21). Because Jesus has already overcome the world, His victory is our victory. Therefore, there is nothing impossible for the Believer.
Ephesians 6:16 – “ABOVE ALL, TAKE THE SHIELD OF FAITH.”
