Isaiah said He came to remove the burden and then destroy the yoke! For every situation in your life, you have to find the place where IT IS WRITTEN. The power of the anointing is never found outside of the Word of God.
Ephesians 2 shows a vivid picture of our former life - dead men walking. I didn’t deserve it, couldn’t earn it, but because of His intense love, He saved me. Him raising me from my deadness was just the beginning!
If you don’t determine what you’re going to do then life will have a way of determining it for you. Every circumstance and situation will boss you around. Paul ‘determined’ the course of his life and was able to accomplish all God had for him to do...
Moses mother had to have the courage to let go of Moses and believe God would take care of him. We have to be willing to ‘let go’ of what we are trying to hold on to ourself and take our hands off of it.
Today the Word of God is being dumbed down instead of being shown in its authority. But Peter says that the Word is more certain than even his eyewitness account. His Word is more certain that what we see with our eyes and hear with our ears!
Ezekiel saw bones that were dry - very dry! God told him to prophesy to the dry bones to come alive and hear the word of the Lord. Some of us are laying or sitting down spiritually. It’s time to let God breathe on us again.
In Exodus 33, Moses tells God he will not go unless he knows that God will go with him. He had faith, but he wanted MORE of God’s presence. God put Moses in the cleft in the rock where he could experience His presence. Our job is to stay In the rock!
Jesus tells a parable about a great banquet and the invitations are sent out. Everyone had an excuse as to why they could not attend. We all make excuses but our obligation is obedience.
