Jesus prepared us to take on the power and authority granted to us by Our Heavenly Father. We are to operate in great faith and no longer look to others to accomplish His Mandate meant for you and me. It is time to come to full maturity!
There are many who will not let Scriptural Truths get in the way of their current beliefs. They live in partial Truth because they are generally ignorant of the Spiritual realm thus they do not seek to operate in this higher realm. This is why we must renew our mind, seek, and operate in this higher realm. Most people don’t.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 10:
7 And as you go, preach this message: ‘Heaven’s kingdom realm is accessible, close enough to touch.’ 8 You must continually bring healing to lepers and to those who are sick, and make it your habit to break off the demonic presence from people, and (you) raise the dead back to life. Freely you have received the power of the Kingdom, so freely release it to others.
Jesus did not tell the disciples to ask GOD to heal people, He told them to heal people. He told them to break demonic oppression from people and raise the dead. There is no reference to placing the request with FATHER and then sitting back expecting FATHER to perform.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:
12–13 I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty
Our strength AND results are based on Christ’s power and authority granted to us thus we are totally dependent on Jesus Christ in all things. Anyone who downplays or omits Jesus Christ in their teachings is not to be followed for they will lead you away from the explosive power Paul refers to in the above verse. Without Christ, I am nothing! The worst thing you can do is focus on the Old Testament at the expense of the New Testament.
We need to speak our faith and quit speaking our fears.
We need to rely on the Integrity of GOD’S Word and apply It to all areas of our lives in a proactive fashion. Instead of saying what you have, Jesus said to have what you say. This is not intended to manipulate for personal hoarding or exploitation, but to produce fruit to benefit the Kingdom. We are to be prosperous so that we can spread the Good News and be tangible examples to those in need.
We must not bear false witness by manipulating others with our words. If we do, we cannot expect to walk in great faith. If we bear false witness, we are effectively telling our heart to disregard our words. I used to be a great negotiator but I have since repented and no longer practice negotiation. Now I simply state the expected result based on hearing The Holy Spirit and take that position. If the other party does not want to agree to that position, I walk away.
People can use statistics to reflect their position by emphasizing certain aspects while deemphasizing other areas. Salesmen can promote their product by disparaging the competing products. These are forms of manipulation and we must distance ourselves from such intent. We must not misrepresent the Truth… we must be honest and open. Our words are important!
Yes, it takes time to train yourself to walk according to the above Truths but it is worth the time and effort. Do you really believe all the words you speak are meant to come to pass? If not, you are sending your heart confusing signals and you are not walking in the higher Spiritual realm.
This higher realm is where we should reside all the time just as Jesus did. When the physical realm did not line up with the Spiritual, He spoke with faith-filled Words and corrected the physical. This displayed the glory of Our Heavenly Father in the physical. He relied totally on the integrity of FATHER’S Word and had no doubt or unbelief. We are to operate in the same manner.
