"But God Hath Revealed..."

1 Cor. 2:9, says "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Now, if you stop here, you will think that God hath not revealed to us the things that he have prepared for us; and most Pastors stop at this scripture. But if you read the next verse it says "But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit of God that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God, and verse 16 says, we have the mind of Christ.

Whose Report Will You Believe?

You need to get to where you believe God's report more than the world's. You've crossed over into the spirit realm when God's Word dominates you more than what you can see, taste, hear, smell, and feel. Instead of letting the devil tell you what you can not do or what the doctor say or what your checkbook is telling you, you need to focus your attention on what God says about you, what He says you have, and what He says you can do. Once you do that you'll find it will break the dominion, the power, and the control of the flesh over you.

Jesus As Lord

The Word of God says "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Roman: 10:9, King James). It is not enough to take Jesus as your Savior, you must acknowledge His lordship over your life. One of the difficulties that confronts many of us is we wish to have Jesus as Savior but not as our Lord. Many people want Him as their Savior from Hell, but they don't want Him as their Ruler on earth.

If Jesus becomes your Lord, He will want to have His say in regard to the types of books your read, the company you keep, the kind of amusements you enjoy, and the government of your body. He will want to have something to say about your finances, what you do with them, how you make them, and how you use them. He will want to have something to say in regard to marriage, children, and the home. He will want to have His say as to your vocation in life and where you live.

Yes, Jesus wants to enter into every department of your life. This is what make the Christian life blessed. It robs life of its weakness and human guidance and it lifts it into the realm of the supernatural.
