A Different Perspective on Our Fellowship With The Father

 

A Different Perspective on Our Fellowship With The Father

by Olga Hermans

 

Do you remember my post on “our call to fellowship with the Father” on Febr. 19? You can read it here. We talked about  4 definitions and we talked about konoinia.

The best example of konoinia is a marriage. My husband and I got married in November 1980, 30 years ago. We have a beautiful love story, maybe I share that one day. We have known each other since 1965, so we are in the 46th year of knowing each other. That is a long time, if you think about it.

We know each other now in the most personal way possible; we have worked through things together and we have experienced the highs and the lows, the good, the bad and the ugly someone might say; the attacks of the enemy in our lives. We have gone through very hard places together. We know each other and we still are getting to know each other. Why is that?

That is because we shared life together and we still do of course.  I heard this quote by E.W.Kenyon as we talk about marriage here: “The two have become poured into the same cup perfectly blended.” And that is what we should be looking for not only in our marriage but also in our relationship with the Father, where the two of us are poured into the same cup together and we are perfectly blended and that people really would see Jesus in us.

At least to the best that we can exhibit, that they would see the Father blended in us and that we are truly one together. That is what it means to be “IN HIM”, to be blended with each other.

Koinonia is knowing somebody in the most personal way possible. Do you want to know the Father in that most personal way possible? I am very hungry for that. I know the Lord since may 15, 1989 and still sense that strong longing to get to know Him. That’s good. Remember what Paul said in Phil.3:10 [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding [the wonders of His Person]more strongly and more clearly. And that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection. Ampl.

There is always more to know about Him; it is unending!! I t will take eternity for Him to exhibit the love that He has for us. It is massive, it is gigantic; it is beyond imagination! God is calling us by name into a close companionship, a sweet communion and an intimate relationship and a personal friendship with Him. He is calling you and I by name! That is what HE would like to have.

Have you ever thought about how to approach the Father? My heart has been yearning for a deeper and a more closer relationship with the Father. I have been yearning for that and it has been intensified the last year, what about you? I am hungry to know the Father in ways that I have never known Him before. My pastor in Tulsa; Billy Joe Daugherty many times said “in your quest to bring change in your life, you have to do something you have never done before.” So, in our quest to know the Father in a different way, we have to do something different.”

The Holy Spirit wants to help us in the relationship with the Father. Sometimes we have to get out of a mold, because it turns into religion; a habit and sometimes you have to break out of that in order to turn your thinking around to get a different perspective. So, sometimes you need to do something that you have never done before to get a different result.

So, let’s focus entirely on the fact that God wants a relationship with us. That is a change of focus, isn’t it? Let’s focus on the desire of the Lord instead of focusing on our desire to know Him. Let’s see the side of God on our relationship. So often we have an idea about God sitting on the throne in that huge authoritative way that we are continually approaching Him. We have our own perspective of what God is all about.

We have to be able to see the passion of God that He has for us; His hunger for us, His desire for us. He loves to hear our voices in the morning! He wants sweet communion with us and too many times we have that sense of unworthiness in us. But that is why we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Let’s come to end of this post ad let’s make a choice to build our relationship with the Father from another perspective. Let’s realize that he wants to fellowship with us and that as we go to Him to love on Him and to minister to Him and be thankful for everything that He has done for us; we also receive His love for us. Knowing how much He loves us, realizing how much He loves to hear our voice in the morning.  Will you make that choice? Choices change things in our life. Let me know what you think or what is going on in your life. I would love to hear from you!

Will The Devil Fight Your Dream

The Power of Choice

Will The Devil Fight Your Dream

by Olga Hermans

 

You better know he will! He fought God’s dream to bring salvation to mankind. So, you can take it to the bank that he is going to try and fight your dreams, too, especially if he thinks you can actually do them!

You have to get beyond him with faith to confuse him. When you live by faith, he doesn’t know what to do, but that doesn’t mean he will leave you alone. He is going to try and mess up your goals by trying to mess up your trail of thoughts. He wants to pollute your thought life so that he can render you powerless to change. Don’t let him.

He is going to try and pull on your flesh, tempt you to go off course in your spirituality. Remember that the flesh is all he has to work with. As I mentioned earlier, he is a flesh devil, not a faith devil. How can you use the renewing of the mind, your trail of thoughts as a tool to defeat the devil? Don’t allow him to have a place in your thought-life.

Refuse to dwell on his negativity. Instead, lean on the Word. If he tries to use somebody else’s defeating words to drag you down, recognize it for what it is and don’t accept it. Then quote a scripture to yourself or remind yourself of what God has already told you.

Remember that the devil can only work in the realm of the senses. You work in the realm of the spirit as well as the senses. The devil is a flesh-based tempter. His goal is to get you to quit and give up on God’s good plan for your life. Whether it is spiritual, physical, emotional or financial, he wants to render you powerless to do what you’re meant to do in this life. But, he is only going to use the senses to tempt you.

After all, have you ever been tempted in the Spirit? Think about it. Have you ever been tempted to tithe? I mean, were you under heavy temptation to give ten percent to the Lord? No! Do you know why? Tithing is a spiritual concept. You are only tempted in the flesh (daily, instead of just on Sunday), you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh (Gal.2:20)

In other words, putting God first every day is going to help you fulfill your dream and sticking to your spirituality is going to help you stay on your course.

It is more interesting and adventurous to live by faith. Plus, God rewards the diligent and it takes diligence to renew your thought life. Your efforts won’t be in vain and, in the end, you will actually find that your destiny comes with more blessings.

When you seek to fulfill your destiny, you’re really seeking God with all your heart. That plan for your life didn’t originate with yourself; it originated with Him. He is your Creator and you are the co-creator of your own life. You choose to create your life within His life.

You make the right choices in life and you will live in the blessing, right in the middle of god’s perfect will. That is the power of choice that God has given use. Let’s use to the benefit of our own life. We are so thankful for that, isn’t it?

The Wealth Of The Wicked Is Laid Up For The Just

The Wealth Of The Wicked Is Laid Up For The Just

The Wealth Of The Wicked Is Laid Up For The Just

by Olga Hermans

 

We are living in the most critical hour of our adult life time in these days. A Word from the Lord came through Charles Capps in 1978 which is a long time ago, yet in God’s timing it still is applicable for today. If we do not contend for this word of the Lord, it will just drift away. But, we are not going to let it drift away, because it is alive. This word of the Lord is talking about today!

This is the toughest time since the great depression; it is a serious time. This prophesy is given for our time; this time right now!! Please read it and release the Lord for your finances! There is a Financial Inversion and we are in it right now! If you would picture the Hoover Dam and picture that dam exploding and all the reservoirs that have been held up are bursting and they are breaking. The rush of all that water would flood the land.

Pro 13:22  A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. The Ampl.Translation says: The wealth of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up. There is a work that churches all over the world have to do and it takes finances to do it. The reservoirs of the wicked will be drained into those that God can trust.

Job 27:16-17 NIV says: Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay, what he lays up the righteous will wear, and the innocent will divide his silver. So, it is laid up for the righteous. Jesus makes us righteous. The NLT says: Job 27:17-19 But the righteous will wear that clothing, and the innocent will divide that money. The wicked build houses as fragile as a spider’s web, as flimsy as a shelter made of branches. The wicked go to bed rich but wake to find that all their wealth is gone.

God is in charge of the wealth transfer; so, we don’t go and ask the rich for money. Believe God! Faith only puts pressure on the word; we do not put pressure on people.

Ecclesiastes 2:26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. I want to please God, you? We have to be those who please the Lord.

How do you please the Lord? We walk by faith. We obey the word; we do what He says and we walk in love.
When the children of Israel left Egypt, there was a major wealth transfer that took place from Egypt into the children of Israel. Psa 105:37 He brought [Israel] forth also with silver and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Most of the time and rightfully so, we see the word “feeble” as there was none sick among them. That was supernatural healing. You, probably watched the 10 commandments and saw all the Israelites coming out of Egypt, hobbling and wobbling on their walking stick, walking slowly because they were weak. That was NOT SO!!

It says: not one feeble! The word feeble in the Hebrew says there was not one pauper among their tribes. The dictionary describes pauper as an extremely poor person. A person without any means of support; a destitute person who depends on aid from public welfare or charity. There was not one person.

There was not one person poor; if they were poor before, they weren’t poor any more. Because there was a wealth transfer. They had been slaves from where they came from and suddenly the curse of poverty was broken. There was not one person without any means of support. There was not one destitute person who depends on welfare funds or charity. That is the way we should be walking, that our dependence is upon Him. All were enriched by their oppressors. The Israelites had worked for them and they owed them big time.

But, not one left as a pauper. That’s what God’s will is for us. When the Jews left Egypt, there was not one pauper; they weren’t sick and they weren’t poor. They were enriched; there was a wealth transfer that took place. That is a picture of us. We have been delivered from Egypt; in the New Testament we have been transferred from the Kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light when we got born again. So, we left the Kingdom of darkness with a great inheritance on our name. We might not have known it at the time; all we have to do is get in the Word of God and see what He says about it.

We have to actively believe God and release our faith for that wealth transfer. It is out there; we need to receive it. Jesus said, whatever you believe you receive when you pray, you receive it. That word “receive” means ‘to take” and “to cease with a grip that cannot be shaken.”

Heavenly Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we stand on this word that You gave through Charles Capps and we stand on the Word of God, that gives us the benefit of the wealth transfer that is laid for the Just and God, there is much to be done in the Kingdom of God. There is much to be preached in the Kingdom of God. We receive that right now into the Household of faith. We receive it with a grip that cannot be broken.

Psa 105:43  And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen ones with gladness and singing.

Choose Today to believe for the wealth transfer to come into your personal life and into your household! When we choose to believe, we receive it by faith with a grip that cannot be shaken. The power of choice has been given to you and me; make sure that you make that choice and to not let go of it. And God said,…”I’m sticking with you. I’ll make every word I give you come true.”

4 Reasons Why Have Right Relationships For Life

February 21, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Share on Tumblr Share

What is the ONE thing that you can take with you when you leave this earth? Not your money! Not your possessions!

Right Relationships For Life

But relationships, people that we are connected with in the gospel and in the Kingdom of God here on this earth, they are not going to end; we will take our relationship with us into heaven. Have you ever thought about it that way? Our relationships are very important!

Heb 13:15-16 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

So, your first communication is with God. God wants you to talk to Him and to praise Him. He is not on an ego trip; He just knows that when you get your mind off from your problems and you start worshipping Him that he can work in your life. God never quits believing in you, no matter what is happening.

Then He talks about relationships with other people, with others around you, your family but also with other people around you. He tells us not to forget to communicate. Fellowship with one another.

God shows us in His word that we are in need of relationships. People can fail us, people sometimes don’t meet our expectations, sometimes people are rough around the edges, we need them, we need people and we need relationship around our life. No man is an island to himself. God created us with this need for relationships in our life.

You know, in the day we are living in it is sometimes hard for people to have relationships. People get real busy, they are busy in providing for their family and they are going from here to there and they feel that they don’t have time for relationships. But God wants to have relationships that can speak into our lives and receive from, but also relationships that we can give into. It is not always that we only can take from relationship; we have to give into relationships as well.

We live in a society right now that is very self-focused, self-centered; what is in it for me? If I can benefit from this relationship, I’ll be in it but if I don’t benefit than I am not in it. Some of your relationships are not going to be about you! Some of your relationships are going to be about other people.

We in a technological society, many people have learned to communicate through Facebook. I met some great people on facebook, but if we just rely on facebook and we have no other relationships around our life we can experience moments that we feel alone. It is very important that we make the effort that we not be alone, because the devil wants to take people out in this hour. When the devil can get people apart from other people that are able to speak into their lives, he can start speaking to them. He is a liar; he speaks lies and begins to convince them that they are not valuable or because of all these things, you might as well end your life. Those are lies. The enemy wants to destroy us. Jesus came to give us life! So, we have to make an effort to have relationships.

More than ever we need more than these on the surface relationships with people; we need to have some deep level communication. How do you find those relationships? First you have to be around people until you feel comfortable with being around them and you sense in your heart that they have a same heart for God and a same spirit of humility and desire for a relationship like you do. Then you will find people that can sharpen you, like iron sharpens iron.

You are around people until you locate those kind of people that you can open up with, we all need it.

There is a football player Brady James from Dallas Cowboys; he shared in his testimony how he had to break off wrong relationships in order to follow Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:33 says “don’t be deceived, wrong relationships can corrupt good morals”. He saw that in his life, so he had to change his relationships in order to have relationships that were going to help him.

Let me close here with 4 Facts of the importance of right relatedness

1. It will protect and deliver you – 1 Corinthians 15:33 – “Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good habits.’”

2.  It will see us through hard times and give us the ability to then help others – 2

Corinthians 1:4 Message – “He comes alongside us when we go though hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us.”

3.  It will provide accountability in our lives.

4.  It will help us get past hurts and forgive others and be reconciled where there have been broken relationships – Matthew 18:15-20, Isaiah 1:18.

4 Definitions Of Our Call To Fellowship With The Father

by Olga Hermans

 

Stepping into a deeper relationship with our Father, understanding Him and understanding His love, understanding what he wants to do for us requires a choice from us. We choose to answer the call of the Father, who longs for us to come into His presence and fellowship with Him.

1Co 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. God is faithful to you and me! He always has been faithful and he always will be faithful to us. He will never let us down; He will never abandon us and He will never let go of us. He has not given up on you! God is faithful!

We are called unto fellowship! As we draw away to fellowship with the Lord, to express our love for the Lord in that secret place of prayer, the Lord will show us the next move for our life. So draw aside from the world today and be refreshed, redirected,  refired and best of all renewed!

When we tell the Lord how much we love Him and mean it from our heart, I can assure you (that when you get quite enough) you will hear Him say “I love you too”. God is faithful; He loves us no matter what we have done. He is always waiting for us to come back to Him to be with Him.

We are called to fellowship with the Father; this is a very personal call. We have various calls on our life. There are people that are called as pastors, teacher, and prophets or in the business realm. But there is something that all of us are called to and every one of is called to fellowship. You and are called to fellowship!

There is a call coming out of heaven to the Body of Christ and it is a call to fellowship. I want to know the Lord in 2011 more than ever before, what about you? I am seeking to have a living and vibrant relationship with my heavenly Father in a way that I never had before. I am so glad that He called me to fellowship. Do you hear the call? Are you awake enough that you hear Him calling you into His presence?

The GNB says ” God is to be trusted, the God who called you to have fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord”.

We all have the experience that we are called by telephone; somebody called you. Somebody spoke to you, somebody was after you. You see, God is after us! He is pursuing us.

The word “call” in the Greek means “to call aloud by name”. We/the sheep know the voice of the shepherd and He calls us by name. So, God is calling us by name into a new level of fellowship with Him. God is very personal with us.

It also means in the Greek “to invite”. We are invited by the Father into a place of intimacy with Him that you might not have experienced before. Or maybe you have experienced it, but it has waned over the years and now is the time that it is coming back into a deeper place with Him.

The word fellowship in the Greek is the word Koinonia. We are called into koinonia.
Here are 4 definitions of fellowship/koinonia.

1.   It is a close companionship; God is calling you into a living relationship with Him. A companionship is a fellowship that is close. There was a relationship that Moses had with God; as we all know it was a close companionship.

2.   It is a sweet communion; God wants that sweet communion. When you go into the presence of the Lord in your times with Him there is that sweetness about it. You just sense the presence of the Lord as you read your bible and worshipped Him; there is that sweet communion. It is the presence of God in your heart and on your life. It that sweetness that you don’t want to leave. Have you ever been there?

We all have to come to a place where the voices of the world are shut down and the voice of the Spirit turned up. So, you can hear Him loud and clearly! Give Him the first of your morning! The reward of that is this koinonia, this close companionship and this sweet communion.

3.   It is an intimate relationship that begins to develop and it carries you in all the things you do during the day. It is a personal relationship what I am hungry for. You?

4.   A personal friendship. Jesus called the disciples friends. There is a covenant friendship, that is developed between us and the father, that he wants more of from you and me.

This koinonia is knowing someone in the most personal way possible and the best example of that is a marriage. Choose to answer the call to fellowship with the Father. Make a choice to set time apart for God, who love you more that you and I are able to realize. Oh, how much He loves us! Here is a video that you might want to watch; let the words seek deep down in your spirit.

Make A Choice For The Household Of Faith

Make A Choice For The Household Of Faith

Make A Choice For The Household Of Faith

by Olga Hermans

 

Economy is defined as the management of resources of a country or a community. For a believer, economy can be defined as God’s divine plan for the blessing. A vital part of that plan is financial freedom and overflowing abundance.

Believers are not subject to the world’s economy when they follow God’s direction. An obedient believer can thrive when economic challenges are creating havoc in the world.

Pro 14:11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
Psa 52:8 But I am like a green (green = flourishing) olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

You can declare this: “we are like a green olive tree in the house of God”; we are flourishing! Even if this is not the case in your life right now; you may be under intense pressure right now, you need to begin to peak words of faith! That is what we do in the household of faith! You live in the household of faith, don’t you and you are not moving out aren’t you? Well, then speak out loud!!

That’s what we do in the household of faith!

Psa 112:3  Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Everything is going to be ALL-Right in the household of faith and we flourish! Speak: “wealth and riches are in our house”. God will fill up your home with precious and pleasant riches. The Blessing is upon your and my household!

Jer 17:7 -8 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

The person that is blessed and the person that trusts the Lord shall be like a tree planted by the waters. That is what we have to do in these times; this might be the toughest thing to do in these times. We look at what is going on and it breeds fear.

The news tells us how bad the times are and how bad the times are going to be. You should press the pause button for a moment and speak out loud: “we are flourishing, we are growing, we are enlarging, we trust in God and our hope is in Him!” Have a praise session right at that very moment. If you are going to watch the news; you are going to have to talk back to it.

We are like trees planted by the rivers of water and we flourish even in times of drought. It is impossible in the natural for trees to flourish in drought, but they can with God. It is a supernatural action. We are a picture of Isaac in that time of famine where he sowed and reaped the hundredfold return. That is a picture of us.

Jer.17:8 says: his leaves shall be green and when you research the Hebrew, it means prospering and thriving and flourishing. No matter what is going on, we never stop producing fruit.

Psa 36:7-9  How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. We relish and feast on the abundance of Your house; (So, in the household of faith, we relish and feast on His abundance. ) and You cause them to drink of the stream of Your pleasures.
For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light.

Son 2:4  He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. In the household of faith we flourish because it is a banqueting house.

Pro 11:28  He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

We do not trust in riches, we trust in God and we flourish!

Psa 27:4  One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

You know what you need to do? You need to get all these scriptures on the inside of you by meditating them over and over again until they are yours! When do you know that they are yours? When they start speaking back to you throughout the day! You have to get them down on the inside of you; especially in these times. It is imperative that you keep the word of God transforming your thinking!

It’s up to you; it’s that time for making the right choices. The power of Choice is calling for you! 🙂

The Words You Speak Determine Your Future

February 17, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Share on Tumblr Share

You are the prophet of your own life, whether you realize that or not. This topic is more or less the core of this blog. When we choose to think right; the right words come out of our mouth and so forth. Confession is mainly considered as

In The Beginning Was The Word

admitting to something like “I love you” or admitting you did something terribly wrong. But for the believer confession is speaking God’s Word in faith. The Law of Confession is a spiritual law designed to equip you with the ability to use your words as a creative force to speak God’s plan into existence.

So, let’s have a close look at why Jesus came and how He used His words wisely. Jesus came to preach the Kingdom of God; He came to preach the Blessing; the Kingdom is the gateway from heaven to earth to build the Garden of Eden. Jesus said, if you seek the kingdom first and if you will support it; things will come to you!

When Jesus is talking about the blessing; He talks about speaking things into existence and by doing that you make heaven’s reality come into this earth. Actually getting something in your heart and speaking it from your lips and creating a manifestation of it here in this earth.

Mat 12:34  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. This is a very important principle that Jesus is teaching the disciples. That is the way that God incubated something inside and spoke it into this earth and created us in His image and in His likeness.

John 1:1 says: in the beginning was the Word. It starts off with the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God. God is Love, God is Light, God is Life. So, in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, Who is Love, who is Light and Who is Life.

Love is than the Light and the Light gives Life.
Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him (without Love, without Light and Without Life) was not anything made that was made. All things; the root word for thing in Hebrew is “word”.
Joh 1:4  In him (in Love, in the Word) was life; and the life was the light of men. It is not just the light in front of us and all around us; the bible says that we were born of that light. We live in the light.

We were born again, not of corruptible seed but by the Word of Love, Light and Life of God, created in Christ Jesus.
Mat 12:34  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. This is a principle, it doesn’t matter if you are saved or not. It doesn’t matter where you stand in life, you cannot get around this principle; it works all the time. This is how we are made by God. When you live in darkness, you will not see this principle at work because the devil is using it on you and against you. But, it always works! It works for you or it works against you. But you and I will always eat the fruit of what we speak!

This is the law that is operating here; it is called the Law of Confession. It is a mystery to people who are walking in darkness. You and I live under the law of the Word; you cannot get away from it. You can change the words you want to live under, but you cannot change this law by hoping and wishing that this law would not work for you. It is always at work!!

Heb 11:40 says: God has provided some better things for us. God really did and we have to believe that we are moving into a higher realm than others have previously. This is the time that when we have a better revelation of things, we also will see a better manifestation of things in our life. Think about the fact how important revelation about the Word of God is to us. The fullness of the blessing is coming in this hour and it is us being able to speak things and decree things and order our day through the spoken word in the morning. God wants us to reign in life and take dominion in our own life; we do that by decreeing a thing and we will see it come to pass.

It is learning to speak fewer words filled with more power!! Jesus spoke 9 words to the fig tree “no man eat fruit of you again hereafter forever”. The disciples were astonished that it happened and Jesus said “have faith in God, for whosoever shall say: be thou removed, be thou cast into the sea”. That’s all Jesus said! For us to take the words of Jesus as an example and to let the same words come out of our mouth.

What do we do? We use a lot more words, right? I have experienced that mostly in praying with others. When I really want to follow the Holy Spirit especially in the words that will come forth out of my mouth; I can sense the other person looking at me like: “is that all”. Right then another person takes over and prays the whole situation over and over again and then they say; “yeah, that is exactly what is going on”. Excuse me? Don’t you think that God knows all that and then even a whole lot more? God wants us to speak only that what the Holy Spirit gives us to speak.

Jesus spoke to the tree the desires and the results; Jesus said the 9 words and the tree was a thing of the past for Jesus. If the disciples would have brought it up again, Jesus never would have said anything about it anymore. What a great example! Peter called it to remembrance, but if Peter hadn’t said anything the fig tree would have been a forgotten subject.

This is the power of words and we just have to come to the revelation of the Power of the Words, because what has been revealed to you is going to be restored to you. We have to come to a maturity if we want to have that kind of power.

The Power of Choice to choose the words that come out of our mouth that will determine our future. What a principle has been to us. It is up to you and me to change our life by the words that come out of our mouth that makes our life choice driven!

Until next time:

Your Time has Come

Your Time Has Come

by Olga Hermans

 

Did it occur to you that it is getting darker out there? We need to know how to stand on the Word of God where prosperity is concerned, where health is concerned, where protection is concerned.

The world I’ll tell you again is in serious trouble. Some very hard things are coming in different places around the world. Very difficult times in a lot of places. They’re that way now but they’ll not get better. They will continue to get worse and worse and worse. It is on a downhill run that the world cannot stop. But for the household of faith everything is going to be all right. Everything is going to be all right.

We have to make a choice what we are going to do; we have to make a choice that we are going to live in the household of faith!

Psalm 92:12-15 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. It is not my own righteousness; I am righteous because I was born over again. Jesus made us righteous and He is the Lord of my life; what about you?

Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

We have to go over to the household of faith and live by faith. It says here; when we are planted in the house of the Lord that we will flourish in the courts of our God.

In the Hebrew the word flourish means to flower, to blossom, to bloom, to break forth and to spread out. To flourish means to enter in to a “state of prosperity”. It means to increase in wealth, favor and honor. In the household of faith, we flourish, we are increasing in wealth, we are increasing in favor and we are increasing in honor. The word flourish means: to grow vigorously and exuberantly; to enlarge and to expand.

So, we shouldn’t just to expect to survive and get by. That word to flourish is a very powerful word; it also means to become extremely successful. That is the picture that God has for us. That is the desire that He has for us. We have been redeemed from the curse of the Law; the curse of shortage, poverty, lack, deficiency, unpaid bills. We have been redeemed from all that and we walk in the blessing of Abraham. We are not just surviving, we are flourishing.

When you read the blessings; it is outrageously good and it is ours! You can go back to the 28th chapter of Deuteronomy and get it down on the inside of you. I would recommend reading in different translations. The commanded blessing is upon my storehouses. Read it for yourself and you will get happy about all the blessings that are mentioned there.

It is a good scripture to read when somebody gets married!

Here are some more scriptures on flourishing: Proverbs 14:11 Even when the natural people are overthrown, we can flourish, because we are in a different household. Even when we have the same economic conditions, we have different results. We in the household of faith experience different results. Our times are in His Hands. When you look at cities; you always see the neighborhoods of the rich people and then there are the neighborhoods of people that don’t have any money. There is a difference. We are citizens of heaven, we live out of a different Kingdom; it is a spiritual thing!

Here is a confession that you can speak over your own life:
I am not moved by what I see
I am not moved by what I hear
I am not subject to the times
I will keep obeying God
I will keep tithing
I will keep sowing seed
I will walk by faith
I will keep going to Church
I am separated from the curse of lack
I am connected to the BLESSING of Abraham
I am thriving, flourishing, increasing, enlarging, experiencing God’s supernatural provision.

Here you go, make a choice. Choose to believe that you flourish and all the things that you spoke just now. Your Time Has Come and your time is NOW. You have the power of choice to choose to live by faith. When you desire to please God, you know what you need to do “the just live by faith”.

Until next time:

Thank You, Father, for the provisions of our covenant. You have freely given me all that I need for success in life. I trust Your Word.

us is also called the foremost enemy of LOVE. I am talking about STRIFE.

Today the spirit of strife and contention is destroying churches, marriages and families, friendships and relationships with God. Strife means “vigorous and bitter conflict, discord and antagonism, to quarrel, struggle or clash; competition; rivalry.” This dangerous sin is an open door to the devil. It gives him license to bring confusion and evil into our lives.

The Bible tells us how to avoid strife: “He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends” Prov.17:9 Ampl. So, what is the answer to avoiding strife? Well, most importantly, you are to yield to love. If you want peace in your life, give peace to others.

Walk in love. Be quick to forgive and overlook an offense. Don’t repeat matters that cause strife. We can also avoid strife through forgiveness: “Good sense makes a man restrain his anger and it is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense.” Prov.19:11 Ampl.

You know, the devil will always try to make us think the way the world thinks. The world says, “If someone mistreats or insults you, the only ‘macho’ response is to give one right between the eyes!” That’s because the devil operates and thrives on strife, since strife gives him an open door. ‘The Bible says that where there is strife, there is also confusion and every evil work. James 3:16
Satan likes that kind of atmosphere. It breeds evil. He devil tries to cause us to think like the world thinks. He wants us to believe that we have to defend ourselves when we are insulted. He wants us to think, I’m going to get the last word. I’ll give that guy a piece of my mind. But no one needs a piece of mind. You should keep all you have!

The Bible says it is to your glory to overlook an offense. It also says you have good sense when you restrain your anger. Actually, insults won’t hurt you if you don’t partake of them; if you don’t allow them into your spirit. You can forgive the person and go on as peacefully, knowing that you just exhibited wisdom. Not only did you respond in wisdom, but you are still free from the trap of the devil.

The moment you slip up and get into strife make it right. Go to the other person and say, “Please forgive me. I love you. I don’t want to be in strife with you. You may have to repent quite a bit at first if you’ve developed habits that must be changed. Don’t get discouraged with yourself and give up. Just keep acting on the Word. Stop strife and yield to love! The love of God has been shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost. Rom.5:5 You are born of God to walk in His love.

Here is a prayer that you can pray:
Dear Father, I refuse to allow strife into my life and open the door to every evil work. In any way that I have opened the door to fear by holding unto strife, I let it go and take on the fullness of THE BLESSING provided by Love! I take authority over strife now. I repent according to 1John 1:9.
I confess the sin of strife. And I thank You that You are faithful and just to forgive me of this sin and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.
I believe I receive Your forgiveness and Your cleansing because You are faithful to do what You say. Right now; the moment I confessed, I am forgiven! I praise You Lord, and shout the victory!
Thank God, I am free from strife.

I encourage making the choice to get out of strife and to stay out of strife. The Power of Choice is up to you; life is so much better without strife. Did you ever read something about strife? I recommend to read “Life Without Strife” by Joyce Meyer
