Living the Abundant Life Christian Center Dr. Samuel Meredith

God wants us to give to our brother and sister in need. This is faith in action.  This is also how we continue to be replenished or abundantly supplied.

Extraordinary power is made available to us when we believe. This power is given to us to discover/fulfill our calling and to discover/reap our inheritance that God has laid up for us, while we are on the earth.

When we give to God, we expect God to give to us  in return. However, sometimes we have a problem receiving from God if He uses someone we don't like  or someone whom society may  deem as  less fortunate. God will use who He wants, but we must receive.

This is a popular term used in the work place. Is it safe to say that someone is your work spouse? Find out why this is dangerous and can lead to many unforeseen problems including divorce,. 

We all have been trained on how to survive in the world. However,  there  will come a time when God will call us into a wilderness to teach us how to trust and depend on Him. This is a prerequisite for entering into our promise land. We can't enter without this ability.

God wants us to look to Him when we run into a dead end. He is our way maker. The enemy wants us to focus on the approaching danger that wants to take us out.  The outcome will be determined by what we focus on.

Many Christians believe that they live by faith by simply stepping out into the unknown. However, the word defines faith as hearing a word from God. Without a word from God, you have no faith to stand on . Unfortunately, presumption resulting in shipwreck will be the result.

The Word tells us to be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only. If we hear the word and don't do the word, we are deceiving ourselves.  If we don't do the word, we will not receive the promises of God, because we did not apply the Word to our lives or situation.

We want all of our words and thoughts to be accepted by God. The enemy will plant thoughts in our mind so we can incubate the thoughts and carry the thoughts out. This is how the enemy destroys and shipwreck our lives. So we must take inventory of what we are thinking and saying.
