Rich in Jesus Christ

My friend, the moment you are born again, you have Jesus in your life. And when you have Him in your life, get ready to prosper for gold will come to you! But don’t look for the gold, look to Jesus — He is the power to get wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:18) The presence of the Son of the living God in your life attracts prosperity. Because of His grace toward us, Jesus, though He was rich, was made poor at the cross for your sake so that “you through His poverty might become rich”.

Beloved, when you have Jesus in your life and when you know that He has paid the price for your prosperity, you can boldly declare, “Jesus was made poor at the cross for my sake so that through His poverty, I am made rich in all things!”

Guilty but Pardon

JESUS FREED US FROM SIN

Luke 23:18 "And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:"

LUKE 23:18

What happened to Barabbas is a picture of what happens when a person is born again. Barabbas was guilty; Jesus was innocent. Yet Jesus suffered the death that Barabbas should have experienced, and Barabbas went free.

Likewise, we were all guilty (Rom. 3:23) and condemned to death (Rom. 6:23), yet Jesus suffered our punishment so that we may go free (2 Cor. 5:21). Just as Barabbas didn't ask for this substitution, so "God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8).

Barabbas was freed, but he had to choose whether or not to accept this new start and remain free, or go back to his old ways and come under the judgment of Rome again. Likewise, we have all been freed through the substitutionary death of Jesus, but we have to choose whether to accept our freedom by putting faith in Jesus or to reject it, by denying Him.

Our death to sin and resurrection to life with Christ, is already a reality in our spirits but will only become a physical reality when we know and believe it. In the same way that Jesus died unto sin once, and death no longer has dominion over Him, the person who recognizes their death with Christ unto sin, will not allow sin to rule over him anymore. Any Christian who is struggling with sin has not recognized that they are dead unto sin.

The Joy of the Lord

Today's Verse: These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. - John 15:11 (KJV)

In order for my joy to be fulfilled, Jesus Christ joy must remain in me! On the authority of your word Jesus, I receive your joy that my joy might full.

God Hears our Prayers

Romans 4:7–8 7“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; 8blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”

Some people think that if they were more “right” with God, then He would hear their prayers. For example, they sometimes believe that if they had not quarreled with their wives or had those bad thoughts earlier in the day, then God would answer their prayers. God is not like that. He wants you to know beyond any doubt that you can always come to His throne of grace with boldness and have every confidence that you will receive His mercy and grace. (Hebrews 4:16) You see, because of Jesus’ finished work on the cross, you are already right with God. You don’t need to do anything to make yourself more right with God. In fact, by faith in Jesus, you have received the righteousness of God Himself! (2 Corinthians 5:21) And no matter how many mistakes you make, you will never lose that righteousness because in the first place, God gave it to you apart from your works. (Romans 4:5–6) In other words, God did not impute righteousness to you because you were good, but because you believed in Jesus. Taken from: Joseph Prince Ministries

In Jesus Name

Whenever we ask God for anything in Jesus’ name, Jesus says to us, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.” This means that in your prayer for healing, when you say “in Jesus’ name”, healing comes over your sick body because it is by His stripes that you are healed. (1 Peter 2:24) In your prayer for protection, when you say “in Jesus’ name”, you are kept safe because the blood of Jesus protects and delivers you from evil. (Exodus 12:13)

Beloved, the good name of your family cannot save you. Your pastor’s name cannot save you. Even the name of the latest medical breakthrough cannot save you. Only one name under heaven can save you — Jesus! And the good news is that His name in Hebrew, Yeshua, means salvation — healing, preservation, wholeness, wellness, provision, prosperity, safety and deliverance for you and your family!

Already have It!

We do not need to pressure God into doing something. God is Spirit, therefore we have to see into the spirit world. In the Spirit, God chose us before he created the world. Through anticipation God created (supplied everything this world would ever need.

Paul prayed (Eph. 1: 15-23): Lord give them revelation of what you've already done in all wisdom and prudence-already have wisdom praying that you bring our this wisdom. Holy Spirit giving you revelation-hope of God's calling: potential of the believer.

We are partakers of the ministry of Jesus Christ (everyone has been called to participate)

Many rejet these teachings because they use God as an excuse or the reason for their ineffective Christian life; blame God).

Jesus and the Cross

We have one object of faith, Jesus...the cross is where Jesus paid for our sin, broke the curses, regain the blessing of Abraham. We have the blessing if we are in Christ...what Christ has, we have...the cross is where the transaction took place...without the cross and the shedding of Jesus blood nothing would be possible...the world would still be in sin.

Jesus paid for everything...He did all the work so we would be able to enjoy a relationship with the Father...we do not have to do works in order for God to have a relationship with us... our doing should be acts of love and gratitude; not so we can work towards salvation. Salvation is awarded through your acceptance of what Jesus did, not what you can do!! We can't do enough to earn our salvation thus establishing a relationship with God.
