We need to learn how to rest in GOD. Once we do, we are truly mature in Christ and can operate in a similar manner as Jesus, Our Elder Brother. For a major shift in our mindset we must immerse ourselves in the Scriptures that address this particular area. It is vitally important to dwell on these recent writings in order to walk in the fullness of being an overcomer.
FATHER anticipated all of our needs and desires in Christ before we even knew we had a need or desire. HE created provision before we were even formed in the womb thus HE has no need to respond to some unexpected event of ours. We simply need to access HIS provision deposited in us. There is no scarcity in Heaven. If anything is scarce, people’s faith might be on the list.
Faith draws out of the Spiritual realm what is already been provided for and brings it into physical reality. The Word provides us the revelation to walk in this manner. On the other hand, man’s teachings want to convince us of a world where scarcity, sickness and disease, death, and lack are the reality we must deal with in our walk. Wrong! Satan wants to steer us away from our provision set aside for us which will deal with every issue we encounter throughout our life. It is your decision: Life or death… choose life.
Faith doesn’t move GOD. FATHER completed all of HIS works and provision prior to our existence thus faith is intended to bring forth HIS provision into the physical in every case, without exception. FATHER did not have to create food for Adam and Eve to eat. Instead, they had to access the provision already growing in the garden. Seedtime and harvest were already existing before FATHER formed them. HIS creation was already complete!
Adam and Eve had to reach out and take the fruit in order to eat it. We have to reach out as well. There is a greater reality beyond our physical senses and it is at a higher level- the Spiritual level. Those who are not born again and a new creation in Christ are totally blind to this level thus they rely on logic and feelings in walking out their lives. We must renew our minds in order to fully access all the benefits of the Spiritual realm. This is where the battle is fought with the adversary.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:
19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power 20 that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the Heavenly realm!
This passage is critically important to embrace in order to walk in great faith. We need to grasp the fullness of this revelation. We need to experience the immense and immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to us through faith. The Holy Spirit has specifically expressed the Truth that we can and should access this power in our individual walks. We must fully embrace this revelation if we are to be partakers of HIS Divine Nature in the Spiritual Awakening of FATHER’S Move which is currently at hand.
Faith is not something you do to get GOD to respond. Faith is your positive response to what GOD has already done. Be assured that Jesus is not going to take on more stripes or go to the cross a second time. Once was enough!
Faith only appropriates what GOD has already provided for by grace. Faith will not provide for an unholy request. When we walk by Agape Love, we have the assurance of provision from FATHER.
In my early years during the “faith movement”, we were taught the opposite of the revelation I am sharing now. We were taught that if we confessed a Scripture enough, we could move GOD to respond. We were told that this was faith and you had people walking around trying to get FATHER to respond. Obviously most became weary and finally gave up. There were incidents that would be assigned to this teaching as though these incidents were a result of the teaching. Wrong! What were we thinking?
Provision for our healing occurred 2,000 years ago when Jesus took on those stripes. Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 2:
24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
“WERE” is the key here. Jesus provided for all healing at that time thus we need to embrace the provision which is found in the Spiritual realm and appropriate to the physical realm by faith!
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 3rd John:
2 Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.
Let our souls prosper by the renewing of our minds to the revelation of provision. Additionally, it is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 8:
18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
HIS power awaits our access. Our faith is proportional to the revelation knowledge of The Word.
Recall what Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 1:
3 Everything we could ever need for life and Godliness has already been deposited in us by HIS Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing HIM Who has called us by name and invited us to come to HIM through a glorious manifestation of HIS goodness.
