Living the Abundant Life Christian Center Dr. Samuel Meredith

It is the enemy's desire to keep us distracted, to keep us from fellowshipping with the Father. If we are not fellowshipping with the Father, we can't be led by the Spirit of God. It is through our fellowship, that we receive direction and correction.

Sometimes God will intensely reveal Himself while we are in our wilderness. The wilderness can be a place where God will talk to us. When the Lord is revealed, He will teach us how to operate in both the current wilderness and the promise land. He is preparing us to do the impossible.

When we take responsibility, we close the door to the enemy or shut the enemy out. God gets involved and the grace of God will be there to deliver us out the situation. When we judge ourselves we will not be judged.

It is good to be a person of principle, in fact we all should strive to be one. However principles should never override the leading of the Holy Spirit. He will guide you in the affairs of life. When we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us,  justice will be administered. When Justice is administered the Glory of God is revealed.

Our faith should not be in the wisdom of men but the power of God. Unknowingly we have accepted many philosophies that is contrary to God's Word. As the light of God's Word shine on these philosophies, we should make the necessary adjustments to reflect the light received.

Many times the enemy will attack your love walk before you receive the promise. He knows that a step out of love is always a step into sin. Your faith operates by love and with out love your faith is dormant. You can't lay hold to the promise. Watch your love walk when standing in faith.

The undercurrent is an organization that functions within an organization that has great influence over the establishment.  Sometimes God may call you to stand against the undercurrent. Don't fear or be afraid because if God has called you to deal with it, He will provide and protect you.

We must renew our minds with the Word of God both the logos and rhema. When our minds are renewed, we can ask God in faith and He will direct our path. This is important because without asking, we will not enjoy all the things that God has intended for us.

We have received blessings from God and we know we were not doing right. However,  we have also missed out on blessings because we were not living right. How can we consistently receive the blessing. It's always on the other side of your obedience. 

He gives His beloved sweet sleep. it is God's desire for us to sleep at night, so we can be prepared to fulfill our purpose for the following day. We must walk in our authority by casting down thoughts that try to keep us up at night, with the Word of God coming out of  our mouth. Power always follows authority.
