You do know, "you have “access to it”,"
Don’t You?
Access to what you might be wondering?
“It” is a very big subject, would you like a clue as to what I’m talking about, this morning?
It is the most freely given and withdrawn thing in the whole wide world and also the most misused and abused.
There is an abundance and both a lack of it, in the world today and it always gives more than it receives.
What is it? Its Love, and right along with it, stuck to it and inseparable from it, is Grace.
Love is grace and grace is love
Both definitions are very similar and even though the world may not be a where of it, both gifts for humankind are in super abundance,
Because they were chosen to be extended and given by God to all who will accept them, freely given with no strings attached.
No matter what, or if any response is given in return,
God just keeps on giving and extending them and staying true to His word.
That’s what’s known as an agape love; a love that is not sexual, but wholly selfless and spiritual, not determined by actions or deeds.
This is the purest form of love there is, that’s the kind of love that God loves us with.
Did you know that most people (and were talking about a vast majority of all people including Christians)
never fully walk in or receive all that God has for them, because they don’t really realize and accept, how much He truly loves them,
And that He loves them enough to give it to them, Solely based on that premise alone, just because!
Its kind of like getting a raise at your job, even when always clocking in late for work and your not even related to the boss,
But they say we’ll give it to you anyways, even though you’ve done nothing to deserve it, “just because we want to!
And you say thank you, no questions asked and you immediately start to enjoy the benefits, even though you don’t deserve them at all?
It doesn’t even enter your mind, the fact that you don’t even deserve them!
How is that possible? How’s come, that would be such an easy scenario for you to participate in,
Some of you might be thinking, that would be the best job ever!
Maybe so,
But tell me why, when God has offered His wonderful Grace and Favor, for being on His team,
you walk away empty handed, more times than not, feeling unworthy to receive them?
Listen up, i want you to know and understand one of the most amazing things ever revealed to mankind!
God loves you enough, no matter how you may feel, to go ahead and give His Goodness to you anyway,
yes even you who don’t think you deserve it, Praise God!
Yes even you, have “complete and undeniable access to Gods Love, Grace” and Favor. Thank You Jesus!!
Don’t waste one more minute of your life, without letting the One who created you,
fill up your life with the love, the grace and goodness only He is capable of giving and realize continually that you have it!!
You know, Hollywood has made some of the greatest love stories of all time, into movies and shared them with the world.
But, all of them combined, fail in comparison to the Love, that God has shown for mankind and the Love He has for you!
If you remember nothing else from today, I want you to know,
How much God Loves you and truly longs to show you His goodness and giving nature towards you,
All made possible, by His Grace and Favor, He has already freely given and made abundantly available, for you to enjoy!
John 3:16 NKJ
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It’s not enough to know this verse by heart, you must know the One whom this verse if referring to!
Why did God give His only begotten Son? Because He loves us!
You will never walk in, realize and enjoy, all that God has truly given to you, until you completely understand, “How much He Loves you!”
Matt. 25:29 NKJ
29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
Have you come across people who have little and hold it tightly in their grasp?
Yet, even that little is taken away from them?
On the other hand, there are those who already have much, they freely give, yet they receive even more.
Jesus said, “To everyone who has, more will be given. From him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.”
Notice, Jesus isn’t explicit in detail, as to saying exactly what it is we have.
He quite simply says, “But to everyone who has.”
Has what you ask?
Is it something tangible?
I’m so glad you asked, Why yes, it is!
Its as real as the clothes on your back, the watch on your arm, or the ring on your finger!!
“It” is God’s authoritive word on the subject!
Jesus is talking about a firm belief in God’s Word that gives one the courage to say,
“I have it!” and I am willing to put my faith and trust in it!
To proclaim Gods blessings and benefits over everything that I have, or ever will have!
Knowing that “God and His word, will be faithful and will never let you down,
Continually recognize and realize the significance it can have in your life,
Start living the God sized Dreams that He has for you!! Praise God!
You will never hear the accuser, or anyone else proclaiming a blessing over your life,
Like the way the word of God does!!
Church, God’s word is as real as it gets, on any subject!
Whether anyone wants to believe “it” or not, will never diminish the unlimited power and capabilities,
it can accomplish when it is released into any ones life, or situation!!!
You see, in your life, it doesn’t matter what anyone else says or thinks about your situation!
It only matters what “God says, and what you say” and believe” about your situation!
And were talking about God’s authoritive word here, and we know that He certainly wants you to have it,
or He would never have had it penned in the first place!
If you say that you have it, you have it, and more will be given to you.
Now some of you might be thinking to yourselves, that comes off sounding just a little bit arrogant and confident?
Maybe so, But my bible tells me in,
Ephesians 6:11&17 NKJ.
11. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
That confidence comes from it, Gods word on the subject and He wants us to have it!
TBS. in Romans 8:32 NKJ
31. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32. He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
What exactly is all things?, here is the def. of all: The core meaning is, a grammatical word used to indicate that the whole of a particular thing, amount, group, or area is involved or affected!
You see, God wants you to have confidence in and believe what His word is proclaiming to you,
He wants you to have that kind of feeling about “it” and possessing “it.”
He wants you to know that when you do, you can realize His Amazing Grace and Goodness,
to become woven into and as a part of the fabric of your inner being,
God’s Word is amazing, it’s the 8th wonder of the world, wait a minute, its not the 8th wonder of the world, it’s the wonder of all wonders of this world and what is yet to come!
It seems like everyone would want to have “it”, flowing like A great waterfall’ in and through their lives.
Its hard to understand or figure out, but most people don’t really want that much of it,
It makes you wonder why, but most people are afraid of “it”
Most people trudge through life without having it, oh they don’t mind hearing about it,
But its like they think someone, or something, is going to jump out sometime on the street and confront them with,
You have the right to remain silent, any knowledge you have of “it” or anything you can say about “it” can and will be used against you on a daily basis, do you understand these rights you are entitled to, but are failing to take advantage of and use for your benefit?
Listen up church, cause you aren’t going to hear this out on the street,
The devil does not want you to walk in and despises the day when you realize that you can have and are entitled to all of God’s blessings.
So when you say that you don’t have it, he can rob you of your blessings because he has you in agreement with him!
Stop being in agreement with the accuser!
Even he knows that it takes two, to be in agreement and he knows how to take advantage of it!
When you need something, God says get in agreement with Him and when you ask of Him, know that He will deliver, what you ask.
Mark 11:22-24 MSG.
22-24. Jesus was matter-of-fact: "Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, ’Go jump in the lake’—no shuffling or shilly-shallying—and it’s as good as done. That’s why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you’ll get God’s everything.”
Realize and start saying you already have Gods everything, get it in your spirit and realize that you have “it”
Even if you don’t see it in the physical immediately, remember you have Gods word on the subject and that’s all you need,
Its like an automatic deposit
Praise God He is “Always Faithful” to His Word!
God is telling us to call forth those things which don’t exist as though they do.
Hebrews 11:1-2 MSG.
1-2. The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.
Faith in God, is what made Abram, Abraham! It certainly wasn’t his actions!
Romans 4:17-18 MSG.
17-18. We call Abraham "father" not because he got God’s attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody. Isn’t that what we’ve always read in Scripture, God saying to Abraham, "I set you up as father of many peoples"? Abraham was first named "father" and then became a father because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nothing. When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do. And so he was made father of a multitude of peoples. God himself said to him, "You’re going to have a big family, Abraham!"
If God says your blessed, believe it and you will be!!
Its time to quit being, just another face in the crowd!
Ill. A father and son were raking leaves when they noticed something darting in and out of the piles. After careful effort they uncovered a chameleon . It was difficult to see among the brown leaves. It had blended with them by turning brown, too. After catching the little creature, they put it in a jar of green grass, where it immediately turned green. When they added some red berries, the chameleon began to take on that color. It just kept changing, to blend in with its surroundings.
Some Christians are exactly that same way, they hear about this denomination or a so-called movement, or revival
and if you do these 7 principles nonstop and live holy, you will have all you ever wanted from God.
And like the chameleon, they change their thinking, or their color so to speak and blend in with the new crowd,
But aren’t any closer to the abundant life that God has for them, then they were before.
Its time Christians started seeking out the word of God for themselves,
What was learned in many church’s, when we were growing up, isn’t necessarily what God had in mind for His Children.
At some point in life, you realize and no offense against momma, but mommas religion, or anyone else’s religion isn’t going to get it done for you.
Acts 19:15 NKJ.
15. And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”
You can’t base your relationship with Jesus on someone else’s,
You have to seek out the word of God and what it says for yourself.
I mean think about it, if 5 different people heard the same story,
you would inevitably have 5 different versions as to what exactly happened.
If we want to know what happened, all we have to do, is look to the word and search it out, that’s why God provided it for us!
Paul was even concerned about this back in his day, that’s why he was so adamant about it when he said in,
Gal. 1:6-9NKJ
6. I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
7. which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
9. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
He was talking about mans view on religion, we don’t have to add or subtract from what Jesus did,
The story of the Cross, the Grace and Unmerited Favour of Jesus Gospel Message, is more than amazing enough on its own,
To stand the test of time and it has done that with flying colors!
Some might call Grace radical, Let em!
It had to be, to abolish the law covenant and establish a new covenant that would stand the test of time!
Paul simply preached what Jesus taught and that’s all He requires from anyone!
All we have to do is preach it in its entirety and it will do what it was designed to do, all on its own!
Without adding to it, or subtracting one single word from it!
The chorus we have sang for years, says it plain enough for everyone to understand,
Lift Jesus higher, Lift Jesus higher
Lift Him up for the world to see
He said if I be lifted up on the Earth, I’ll draw all men unto Me.
Church, its only by the power of the name of Jesus, the name above all names and our relationship with Him, we can have what, He says we can have.
Romans 8:32 NKJ
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
You see, God wants you to have confidence in and believe what His word is proclaiming to you,
Jesus is your “All” things,
*all your salvation,
*all your healing,
*all your prosperity,
*all your strength,
*all your wisdom,
*all your patience,
*all your everything and more, Praise God!!
When you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He became all those things for you, and is still all those things for you today.
You have been adopted as a son, or daughter, with full benefits and given complete access to them
If God did not withhold the best He had from you, why would He withhold anything of lesser value?
Everything you will ever need is yours now and forevermore. Praise God!
There are no limits on the things God will give His children who love Him and put their faith in Him.
Lay claim to your rightful inheritance, your most loving and caring Father has abundantly provided for you,
and realize just how amazingly blessed and loved you are.
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so!
Lay hold of “that amazing truth today and believe that you have it and when you do,
Fasten your seatbelt, hold on tight and get ready for the amazing journey you are about to take,
Praise God for His Faithfulness to us,
Lets pray
