The "Right Here..Right Now.." Favor of God!
Romans 8:!4-17 NKJ
14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
16. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17. and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
When you made the choice to follow Jesus, I want you to know
That it came with the most fabulous benefits package, there has ever been thought of, has been recorded, or will ever be!
Its not like medicare, or any other kind of health care, with our Loving Abba-Father on the job, we have His constant care, Amen?
Constant defined:
: happening all the time
: staying the same : not changing
: always loyal
: marked by firm steadfast resolution and faithfulness
: continually occurring or recurring
When you became adopted into the family of God, it came with a full and immediate benefits program second to none....you should want for nothing, because He has already thought of everything,
It's not like when a young person, that doesn't have a whole lot, and sees a wealthy kid, who's dad just seems to give them anything and everything....and they say to themselves, it must be nice....I wish I was a part of that family....
You need to start realizing...you are that kid....it is nice....and if you know Jesus as your Saviour.....you already are part of that family....you already have what they have!!
Say it with me....I have access to everything....go on say it....but more importantly, than just saying it.... "Believe it".....Because it's true!
The accuser will try as he may to tell you different, but if you stand born again this morning....Gods benefits have you're name on them! Amen? Amen!
Realize this and get it down in you're heart....
Healing...you have it!
Prosperity...you have it!
Favor, Grace, Mercy, Wisdom, name them all....because
Everyone of them....have your name on them and belong to you! Amen?
And I'm not talking about someday belonging to you....I'm talking about
Right here, Right now, today belonging to you
He has crossed all the T‘s, dotted all the I‘s, He wants you to know...You have what He says you Have! Amen?
Gal. 4:4-7 MSG.
4-7.“But when the time arrived that was set by God the Father, God sent his Son, born among us of a woman, born under the conditions of the law so that he might redeem those of us who have been kidnapped by the law. Thus we have been set free to experience our rightful heritage. You can tell for sure that you are now fully adopted as his own children because God sent the Spirit of his Son into our lives crying out, "Papa! Father!" Doesn't that privilege of intimate conversation with God make it plain that you are not a slave, but a child? And if you are a child, you're also an heir, with complete access to the inheritance.”
Complete access, those are two words that say it all, not just limited access, but complete access,
You have the undivided attention, to the creator of the universe!
God does not just call you His son, or daughter....He also calls you “an heir” through Christ.
As a joint heir with Christ Jesus, you inherit everything that He has!
You should get used to hearing yourself saying those words...
"I'm a joint heir with Jesus...I have what He has" let me hear you?
"I'm a joint heir with Jesus...I have what He has" ....again!
"I'm a joint heir with Jesus...I have what He has"
You see, when you say something enough times...you start to believe it...and when you start to believe it, it becomes real in your life and you start to benefit from doing it!
Amen?
And how do we know, because we have the Word of God on the subject and that's all we need to know!
John 1:1 NKJ
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
TBS.(the bible says) in;
Romans 8:5-8 MSG.
“Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life.
Those who trust God's action in them find that God's Spirit is in them—living and breathing God!
Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life.
Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God.
That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn't pleased at being ignored.
9-11. But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won't know what we're talking about.
But for you who welcome him, in whom he dwells— even though you still experience all the limitations of sin— you yourself experience life on God's terms.
It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself?
(He will do what? I‘m sorry, I didn‘t here you)
When God lives and breathes in you [and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus], you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's!” "
It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life,
he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself?
With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's!” "
In other words....
*How ever precious Jesus is to the Father, that is how precious you are to the Father.
*The way the Father loves Jesus, is the way the Father loves you!
*What God is willing to do for Jesus, He is willing to do for you!
Praise God! For what His word declares to us this morning and every morning!!
I don't know about you...but I like that way, in fact I love that way...
Gods Way...of thinking!
How bout you? Amen??
And that's the way and how He wants us thinking, when we approach Him for our needs to be met....just like a little child approaches their loving father and says,
daddy....can I have this, and the father says absolutely....there's nothing I wouldn't do for you child...because I Love you!
How accepted are you by God today?
Look at Jesus....is He totally accepted by God?
That is how accepted you are!
No way!, Yes WAY!, it's time that we came over to and got used to Gods way of thinking!
the devil may try to steal God’s word from you and tell you that your not...
But that’s, not how Gods word reads, is it?
And you need to get used to telling him that, remind him of the word and what it says....every time he tries to tell you that it doesn’t!!!
Jesus is the only measure of your acceptance!
Nothing you did, can do, or will ever think about doing....
"Only what Jesus already has done for you" is your measure!
Amen? Come on Amen??
How favored are you by God? Look at Christ Jesus, who is seated at the Father’s right hand.
You enjoy that same favor today......because whatever He enjoys, you enjoy!
Still, some have trouble believing that this is possible,...this is not something man made up, this is way to good for mans way of thinking....this all Gods way of thinking!
Praise God!! That His ways are above our ways...and that His thoughts are above our thoughts!
Isaiah 55:
6-7 Seek God while he’s here to be found,
pray to him while he’s close at hand.
Let the wicked abandon their way of life
and the evil their way of thinking.
Let them come back to God, who is merciful,
come back to our God, who is lavish with forgiveness.
8-11 “I don’t think the way you think.
The way you work isn’t the way I work.”
God’s Decree.
“For as the sky soars high above earth,
so the way I work surpasses the way you work,
and the way I think is beyond the way you think.
Just as rain and snow descend from the skies
and don’t go back until they’ve watered the earth,
Doing their work of making things grow and blossom,
producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,
So will the words that come out of my mouth
not come back empty-handed.
They’ll do the work I sent them to do,
they’ll complete the assignment I gave them.
God wants you to enjoy and inhabit what He has given to you...Believe it, receive it...it's time we started enjoying the abundant life that God created for us! Amen?
I’ll tell you someone, who has a hard time with you believing that all this is true,
It’s the accuser, and the reason why is, because he knows for a fact, that it is true!,
And believe you me, he has fought long and hard, to keep anyone and everyone from realizing exactly what it is, that their entitled to...which is Everything!!
Because once someone truly gets a hold of it, he knows he has lost the battle and the war with them forever!
Ever try to take a toy from a child?....it's Impossible...my point exactly!
It's the same with a believer, when they get ahold of this truth!!
I challenge you this morning, to get ahold of it....let it become real in your life...stop scratching the surface and kicking the tires...
Get in the car where you belong....in the passenger seat....strap on your seatbelt, hold on and let God do the driving!
The destination He longs and wants to take you to...is nothing short of Amazing!!
Romans 8:29-30 MSG.
29-30. “God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun.”
If there is thing for sure you can count on, its this; God is and will always be faithful to complete the work that He has begun in you!
You see, He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son....Aren't you glad He did? Amen?
And the word continues by saying; After God made that decision of what his children should be like,
Which means, He gave it some serious thought,
after all, life under the law, (and that was what the children of Israel had asked for) was an impossible, miserable life,
A life, where if you made a mistake and broke even one of the law’s that God had established,
It disqualified you from receiving any blessings at all that God longed to give His people....and something that God never wanted
What God missed was, the intimacy that had been lost, between Him and His people!
And so, He gave to us, what He enjoyed the most, Jesus!
The intimacy of the relationship that He had with His Son,
Everything that His Son enjoyed, He wanted you to enjoy!
Everything that His Son has access to, He wants you to have access to!
There was nothing that He withheld from us,
He wanted to make it as easy as possible, to insure our success to have the abundant life, that He promised we could have and live! Thank you God!!
Romans 8:31-39 MSG.
31-39. “So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us?
And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger?
The One who died for us—, who was raised to life for us!— is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us, Jesus is our advocate!
Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way...He won't allow it!
Not sin,
Not trouble,
not hard times,
not decease,
not anything past, present or future! Amen?
We have everything that Jesus has, Gods Word has determined it to be a fact!
And Facts are final....It’s a promise that we can take straight to the bank and put it in the lockbox of your heart....that no one, or no thing can ever steal away from us!!
and when we find ourselves in any situation, be it;
*financial
*emotional
*stress related things
*health issues, especially our health issues and when we need healing in our bodies!
We need to remind ourselves...and the accuser, over and over and over...like a broken record....of just one thing!
Does Jesus have this affliction, then neither do I!
I'm sorry...why yes, I would be happy to repeat it!
Does Jesus have this affliction, then neither do I!
I can have Victory....Because the Word of God Declares..
"I have everything Jesus has!!"
*Not what the world says I have!
*Not what the Doctor says I have!
*Not what the genetic gene pool says my family has!
*Not what the unbelievers around me at work, or in my family says I have!
*Not what the accuser says I may have!
I have what Gods word says I have and there is no greater authority to be had on the subject!
Cased closed, the verdict has been.. And was determined at the cross!!
I have it, and if you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you can have it too, Praise God!!
Its not because of what I have done, its all because of what Jesus, what He has done for me!
His perfection, covers my imperfections and He is my qualification to receive all of the benefits of the inheritance God has promised me!!
1st John 4:17 NKJ
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
Not one day far off in eternity...but right here, right now today!
The Word Declares this Amazing Truth...
As He is, so are we in this world.
As He is, so are we in this world.
As He is, so are we in this world.
Get that word, down in your heart of hearts, It will not only change you're heart...it will change your life!
Have you laid claim to your inheritance, that Jesus died for you to receive?
Its not about you, or what you could do in a 100 lifetimes, its all about what He already did for you!
Jesus is the way maker...and this morning our Most Loving Abba Father wants you to know, all that Jesus is in heaven today, you are in this world.
All that belongs to Him, belongs to you.
Make it all about Him and you will see all the benefits, He has provided for you, come to pass. Praise God!
Lets pray!
