Pastor Jason Anderson - Audio

You can NEVER outgive God. Everything we have is because

of God. Giving opens your hand to a hand that will not be

outgiven!

Today I want to take you to a very familiar passage of

the Bible and draw out something you maybe haven't seen before. My

prayer is that those things that Christ has declared over us would be

released into our world. You really do have what everyone else needs, it

is in you. There is a problem in our world, it is decaying. Our nation,

our communities, our cities, there is a battle happening for the soul of

this city, and each one of us is the solution. Do you know how God takes

the city? One heart at a time. Do you know what Christ is to our city?

Healing, wholeness. He is the answer. And you, my friend, are the

delivery system. Matthew 5:13 (NIV) "You are the salt of the earth. But

if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is

no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled

underfoot."

Psalms 112:2-3 (NASB) "... the generation of the upright

will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house." Blessed is an

ability, it is authority, and it is estate. God said, "I will bless you

in the land I am giving you." Last week we discussed that the church is

the mountain, the land on which God plants you where Jesus proclaims the

land that is yours, the promises. He states your estate. God is

flourishing you, increasing you, making you fruitful in the land He has

given you. And so you let our Lord plant you on the mountain. Here you

are, and he says the inheritance is in the saints, so where is it? Most

people are looking out here when everything they need is already in

their HOUSE. We have everything we need for life and godliness. My goal

is to see you find the treasure that God has already given you, that in

2018 you will release more of Christ into your world by pulling off the

lid and letting out more of what is in you and those around you! A

little girl last week stayed to find the treasure. Are we looking? The

truth is, for your estate to manifest into a real property you can live

on, you need real money to buy it, and in order to get the real money

manifesting, you need to find the hidden treasure. You ready to find it?

Funny thing is, it is literally right under your nose.

Today I want to talk to you about your estate. Genesis

12:1-3 (NIV) The LORD had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your

people and your father's household to the land I will show you..." In

Genesis 1:28 (NIV) "and God blessed them..." and then He assigned them

to the Garden of Eden. To the Israelites He gave the inheritance, the

promised land! The blessing comes with an estate, place to dwell, home

sweet home. The problem is many Christians are sojourning, journeying,

wandering through another desert. God said "I will bless you in the land

I'm giving you" - but if you can't find your estate you might be

standing outside the Garden of Eden. Outside of the garden the blessing

vanished into thin air. We are building someone else's pyramids, slaves

in the land we were born into, unaware of the estate that is already

ours. In Joshua 18:1 Joshua asks 7 tribes of Israel, "When will you

finally go get the land the Lord has given you?"

God's original intent was for man to be blessed. As we

read Genesis 1:28 we see that the blessing is made up of three major

components: Ability, Authority, and Estate. Consider how Jesus used the

ability of the blessing when He had a need. Matthew 14:19 says, "Then He

commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five

loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke

and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the

multitudes." He looked up to heaven knowing He was operating through the

authority of God, pulling that power. He used the blessing's ability to

increase the need by speaking it with his mouth, and then sent it to its

location, the gathering, and we will discuss this next week as the

estate. But today we talk about authority and your mouth. When Jesus has

a need he blesses it. When people have a need they curse it." And so we

don't get Jesus results! Today we are going to talk about the flow of

God's power through authority and out of your mouth.

God's first intention with man was to bless him. His

intention with Abraham was to bless "all peoples through you." His

intention with Christ was, "He redeemed us in order that the blessing

given Abraham might come to the Gentiles by faith." The blessing given

mankind in Genesis 1:28 can be broken into three parts: Ability,

Authority, Estate. Over the next three weeks we will see how to get

these working in your life. There are three gears in the blessing.

Here's the problem... if one gear isn't working the other two won't

matter, and as such famine, lack, work and thorns and

thistles.

My goal in this series will be to reveal and uproot

those things that hinder us from receiving the blessing Christ has

already made available. The Lord told me as I set out and said to Him,

"Lord, for us, those planted at Living Word, what do we need to hear?

What do you say to us, or what can I say?" He said "For them to

experience the blessings they have not yet experienced they must go in

the word somewhere they have never been. And you."

Juice Lady, Cherie Calbom.

At the time of the birth of Christ there is a lot of

talk of following and being followed. Zechariah is following Gabriel's

instructions, Joseph and Mary are following a decree for a census all

the way to Bethlehem, shepherds are following angels' words, and wise

men are following a star. Jesus said if anyone would come after me he

must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. We are all following

someone, and we are all being followed. Jesus had 12 followers, I have

zero twitter followers. When deciding who I follow I should ask myself,

"Do I want to go where they are?" When looking at who is following you,

I must ask, "Am I going where I want them to go?"

I want to talk to you today about a meeting with Jesus.

In Genesis 14 Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High,

meets with Abraham. Melchizedek is a picture of Christ, our High Priest.

When he meets with Abraham he has three things on his agenda. Jesus is

with you all the time, but there are times you have a meeting. Jesus has

an agenda when He meets with you.
