Living the Abundant Life Christian Center Dr. Samuel Meredith

Whatever we yield ourselves too will have power over us. We want to yield ourselves to righteousness or be lead by the Holy Spirit. If we yield and obey we become the Sons and Daughters of God. Yielding to the Holy Spirit will always bring life to our situation and cause us to live an abundant life.

Perceiving and understanding takes place when God's Word is revealed to our hearts. When we act on that word the kingdom flows through us and we see or experience the supernatural.

Jesus told His disciples to come away and get some rest.  God wants to teach us how to rest. Every believer should have a quiet place where God can speak to their hearts.  Your quiet place may be a hobby that you enjoy such as playing golf,  shopping,  going to the movies, or jogging.  Once again, this quiet place is a place where you and God can interact.

God has called women into leadership in the different mountains of influence. He has also called women into leadership positions at the church. God is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle.  In this last hour, women will be used mightily in the service of the Lord.

Many times when we stay in faith for long periods of time, we can get a little weary. The enemy will try to tempt us to give up. If we can hold on  God will bless us and He knows how to catch us up. His blessings are bountiful.

Conflict is something that everyone must deal with. Sometimes it can be a personality conflict or a conflict based on a central theme. In any case, God will help us deal with the conflict if we invite Him by asking for His guidance. If we acknowledge Him, He will direct our path.

As we seek the kingdom, the Lord will give us all the things that we need. Seeking the kingdom is simply doing what you should be doing on a daily basis. While you are doing life, do it God's way because this is righteous. So, while you are at school, working, grocery shopping, or picking the children up from soccer practice, God will supply all of your needs because you are seeking the kingdom first.

We must always strive to put the word first place in our lives. Not just sometimes, but all of the  time. We can miss God's destiny for our lives because we believe part of the word and not all of the word. We must believe, "Thou shall not," as much as, "Thou shalt." To not believe both, suggest we are arrogant as it relates to God's Word.

God has planned our victory before the foundations of the world. Jesus purchased our victory and the Holy Spirit has been sent to lead us to victory. However, victory is not just for prosperity and healing, but our response to the trials and  temptations of life that everyone must face.

Praise is something everyone can do. The bible says, "Out of the mouth of babes and infants you have perfected praise." Once again, everyone can praise God. Praise stills the enemy, it stops the harassing thoughts waged against you to break your mind. Praise is a weapon that connects you with God.
