Moving Into His Solutions
The beginning of all blessing must come by the premier activity of “belief”. I really like the fact that Hebrews 11:6 just puts it all into perspective:
But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].
We truly serve the God of solutions. We praise the God of possibilities. We worship the God of promise(s). We are living in a day of great turmoil and absolute doubt of a caring God who is the answer to life’s difficulties. That same God is willing through grace to abolish all doubt by activating the miraculous through those who would just believe.
Ponder for a moment that your ears would hear the solution and not problem. Ponder also, that you do not have the answer to your problem but you could find the solution through a relationship with a Holy God! Ponder now that even though life’s difficulties may arise at the most inopportune time you would have the faith to be the overcomer and have the “more than conqueror attitude”.
When you look into the Word of God you will find that every difficulty had a solution from the Creator of the heavens and the earth. From the moment of Adams and Eve’s fall in the garden to the moment that is passing you by right now God has the solution for your difficulty. He is able, yes, exceedingly abundantly more than able to take care of all that we ask or think! (Ephesians 3:20).
I really like the story of Abraham who was as dead and Sarah had a womb that was dry, yet, God spoke to him about being a father of many nations with descendants! Instead of denying that miracle he embraced the God of miracles and believed! He grew strong in faith and gave glory to God! He gave respect to the promise of God! (Romans 4:17-21).
Now activate your faith and believe right now that God will perform in you that which He has promised.

Your Destiny
Just what am I on this earth for? Is it to be part of a move of God or part of a stagnant pool of critical mass. Gideon wondered the same thing and asked this question:
“And Gideon said to him, O sir, if the Lord is with us, why is all this befallen us? And where are all His wondrous works of which our fathers told us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian. ” (Judges 6:13, AMP)
The destiny of man is crucial for the birth of greatness. To be determined to be creative and to move in a fresh anointing on a daily and momentarily basis is not some passing thought. Where are the miracles and has the Glory of the Lord moved away from our initial relationship because of a lack of attentiveness to His voice? Have the voices of leadership taken us from the promise to the wilderness? Is there death soon to be appreciated by those determined to move into the “newness” of the wineskins? Does this day that we live in have its own destiny to turn to night and utter darkness?
Just like the elections for this nation are we waiting for a “new” young leadership team to take us to a new level of anointing? Shame to all of us who have been swayed by the “promise” of promotion and fallen into the trap of shallow relations that do not have substance nor stability. The task is prayer and the hope is in the answer to what need to be prayed! Like the prayer of David:
“”The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever—forsake not the works of Your own hands.” (Psalm 138:8, AMP)
The now is upon us and destiny is at the door! Let not the spirit of apathy and procrastination proclaim this generational dilemma in the Church! Sometimes change is just what we need.

Listening And Learning
The best way to learn is to listen. You can learn also by interaction with adamant objects or with other human beings. Sometimes the other human can act like an adamant object and not even realize it. Come to think about it, they may realize it, and then the definition would be just plain stubborn. In the process of mentoring there is always give and take or if you will, give and receive. Jesus spent His life on this earth giving to men He chose. These disciples, many times did not receive what He was trying to implant in their hearts and minds. They were trying not to listen with spiritual ears and listen only with carnal ears. Ears that desire to be first and sit close! They saw with eyes that lacked the appropriate faith to embrace the supernatural when the miraculous made its case. Similar to the case of the women who had an issue of blood for those many years (Matthew 9:20). When she broke through the crowd, no one noticed but Jesus. When asked who was the one who touched Him, the response was no one touched you! Jesus knew that some one did because of the issue that left His body. The anointing which proceeded into the woman whose issue was blood not anointing. Instead of listening and learning or watching and seeing the disciples were absolutely dumbfounded over this case of healing. Everyone that wants to learn must be able to hear and see just what the Lord is teaching. More to come….
