I know there are a few threads similar to this title but again i want to just get some feed back on how I see things or come to believe. This is howI have been taught but many disagree so lets see what you think.....Thank You
Many Christians feel that just because a person becomes born again and the scriptures say that all the promises of God are ours that they automatically go into force or action and you are covered and life is good. This is simply NOT TRUE. Everything about God in our lives BEGINS WITH A CHOICE. We have to decide to chose His way and become born again. Everything beyond this point found in the Written Word Of God, first starts with a choice and follows up with an action by us and then by GOD.
When a person believes in Christ and is Born again, they find a new life and safety AND God has given unto every believer Everything they will ever need to live out this Christian life in a victorious and overcoming way. HOWEVER it is the BELIEVERS CHOICE OR RESPONSIBILITY to use the Resources God Provides. Another words we must find the Keys to the Kingdom which are always going to be the promises of God and learn how to use them or unlock the promises of God so as to have them fulfil their purpose by working for you, me or who ever puts them to work.
2Peter1:3 KJV
According to His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to Glory and Virtue
2Peter1:3 NLT
As we know Jesus better, His divine power gives us everything we need for living a Godly life. He has called us to receive His own Glory and Goodness!
2Peter1:4 KJV
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
2Peter1:4 NLT
And by that same mighty power , He has given us all of His rich and wonderful promises. He has promised that you will escape the decadence all around you caused by evil desires and that you will share in His divine nature.
Now then these next few scriptures also show us what we have been blessed with through Christ as well. I want to show you something that set me free and changed the way I pray. For many years people use the next scripture as the main promise of God to get their needs met or what ever it is they are facing. Within this type of prayer one finds them selves struggling to see this through. Another words it's a struggle to try and get your needs met praying that my God shall meet all of my needs through His riches and glory in Christ Jesus.
Why do I say this ? Because when you are praying along these lines you find your self wondering if God wants me to have this or wants me to get this. You end up trying to convince God of your needs. This is always a struggle and prayers are to be done By Faith. Faith does not wonder or question but simply BELIEVES because it KNOWS.
Philippians 4:19 KJV
But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19 NLT
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Now with the scripture above Philippians 4:19 we see that it says that God will meet all of your need with His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. What do we need or what is our need here? We need His power to over come. We need to live in victory as He has given us the victory already through Christ but we Must Fight The Good Fight Of Faith in order to step over into our Victory. What I am saying is this, God has already given us EVERYTHING we will ever need to fulfil His plan for our life which includes living in victory. SO USE WHAT HE HAS GIVEN US ALREADY AND OVER COME AND TAKE YOUR VICTORY through His Every Promise within in His written word.
Now think about this, you need better health, take your key that unlocks healing and put it into force. God is not going to do this for you. He has already provided your healing and it is up to us to CHOSE to use our key to healing and health.
Oh but my rent is over do and I need 800 dollars by 6 tomorrow or I am on the streets.
No you don't need 800 but you do need to wake up and find out who you are in Christ and what those keys are that He gave you when you were grafted into His family and learn how to use them and USE them. Then you wont find your self stuck praying out of desperate need in a struggle trying to convince God how bad you need this.
God is always Faithful and True to His word. He is always watching for His word to be put into action. His answer to prayer is always yea and amen or YES....now watch this...when you pray according to His will. What is His will ? His every promise in His written word for you. Those keys you tossed aside and forgot about. Check it out....
2Corinthians1:20....
KJV .. For ALL the PROMISES of God in HIM are YEA and in Him Amen, unto the Glory of God by us.
How do I know if it is God's will for me ? Do you have a situation which requires God to fix or see to it that it gets taken care of ? Well does God have a promise in His word that will cover it ? YES God has a promise that will cover EVERYTHING we go through in His written word. So then it is HIS WILL for YOU !! Now Look at the next scripture.
Ephesians 1:3 KJV
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath Blessed us with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in Heavenly Places in Christ
Ephesians 1:3 NLT
How we Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ.
What are these Spiritual Blessings ? They are His Every Promise To Us found in His written word. So lets recap this real quick. Must chose to become Born again and grafted unto His tree. Must chose to renew my mind unto His ways. Must chose to Believe what His written word says. Must chose to act on His written word or promises. Must make the choice to find out who I am in Christ Jesus and what Power and Authority has been Given unto me. Must make the choice to take these keys and unlock His promises and use them or put them to work for us.
Ok one last Point I want to make....Even with all this there is still choices that must be made in order to see this all work for OUR GOOD. WE MUST CHOSE to believe His word is all true and NOT waver or sway with doubts or unbelief and this is done through Faith. Now then Faith must be followed up with Love and Forgiveness. All three here work together and are needed to operate Faith. Now then standing in Faith means you are not moved by what you see or feel. It does not matter for what does the word of God say....That is all that matters. Chose to place Gods word First and Last in every situation.
This is another study or topic but is REQUIRED HERE AS WELL. Words or what you allow to come out of your mouth. These dictate or control your results. When you are standing on Gods word then YOU must ...ohhhh here it is again....Make a CHOICE to speak Gods words TOO. Now again your mind and heart must be renewed unto His written word to grasp this. But any and all doubt words or fear words or unbelief words will hinder your prayers and hinder YOUR FAITH from bringing forth the RESULTS that you need. However here is a tip....if you catch your self then simply rebuke those words and SPEAK GODS WORD OVER IT and change the way you have been thinking.
Blessings
