Heaven COME! Will of God BE DONE on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN!
Blessed (enjoying enviable happiness, spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons of God!” Matthew 5:9 AMPC)
What does a prosperity mindset mean? For me, it simply means that “everywhere I look, BLESSINGS!” (Amos 9:13 MSG) It is a renewed mindset that sees possibility in the midst of impossibility by seeing a stumbling block as a stepping stone to victory. It is a mindset that is grounded on the truth that God always causes us to triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14). It is an established set of thoughts manifesting in attitudes that point to the lordship of Jesus Christ where our lives are graced to see things from the kingdom of God’s perspective.
“Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” (Exodus 3:13-14)
Ten minutes before the strike of midnight for 2018, I pressed on for His personalized word for me that will keep me focused and on track for the year. We know that His word is timely at the same timeless. It is the same yesterday, today and forever. And YES, because He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, He gave me “my word” for 2018.
“ONE THING I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life,
To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord
And to meditate in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4 AMP)
God did not create a planet of robots. He created the earth filled with His beloveds where relationship is the ultimate key to living a victorious life. He desires not just mere relationship but He refuses to have a relationship with us without an ever-binding covenant. The term “covenant” is of Latin origin (con venire), meaning a coming together. It presupposes two or more parties who come together to make a contract, agreeing on promises, stipulations, privileges, and responsibilities. It refers to two or more parties bound together. It means a lifelong friendship agreement; or it can refer to a marriage.
What we see matters! What do you see when you see a Cross? Does it have an effect on you when you see one?
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV)
“But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law.” GALATIANS 5:22-23 AMP
