Will It Be Added To You/Will You Live It Out


The kingdom of God is the way God does things and is like Matthew 25:14-29 and Luke 16:10-12.

God gives us an amount of something to our own ability.  We must then immediately do something with it.  Good means profitable in Matthew 25.  What we are faithful in shows God what we can be entrusted with. Then he will entrust us to our own ability.  So do not be mad or envious of what another has.  Receive what you have, immediately work with it, and show you are profitable to the kingdom.  Don't worry about people who have more.  For those who have, more will be given.  Mark 4:24-25

I have had great things prophesied over my life.  God will do them.  I have to bring my own destiny to pass though.  God does not do all the work.  He does a part and then I have to do my part.  I have to be faithful and work out the plan that God has for me.  I must participate in the plan that God has for my life, and the same for everyone.

2 Timothy 2:20-21 Ephesians 2:10 
In these two scriptures God speaks to us about the plan and being His honorable vessels to use.  It is all up to us.  We can be impure and not be used or we can be pure and be used.  I want to be used.

What am I doing right now to get to my destination? The right now is what gets me to the then.  Matthew 6:34 I don't know about you but I want to get to heaven and hear well done good and faithful servant.  I want to be a useful utensil for the master.

The issue that so many of us face is that we see the outcome that is supposed to happen in our lives but then we never get there.  It is possible for God to have the plan laid out for you to be a doctor and you never become a doctor.  If we are not doing what we are supposed to do today, how do we get there in the future?  We don't or t takes more time and is very difficult, because of a hardened heart I did not want to do the will of God but my own.  We must focus everyday on what is to be done today.  Seek first the Kingdom of God, and the rest will be added to you.
What are you doing in the right now?

Pour into your today. God will entrust you with more.

Faith Has To Be Real To You


Faith always works.  It is working right now in this world, but it has to be real to me.  My faith can only produce what I believe in.  It cannot produce what some one else believes in.  Faith is the substance.  What substance are you on?  Lets say our fellow brother or sister in Christ is believing for a new job.  Their faith only works to the extent that it is real to them.  Then their faith does not mean that it is manifest in our lives.  I have to believe in the faith that I have.  I have to make the promises of God real in my own life.

Here is a good way to put how the word is working in our lives.

Jo
hn 1:1 is the Logos word of God.  The written Word. We need the written word and it has great power to build us up in our thinking and to let us know the promises of God.  But there is a power that works along side the Logos.

Ephesians 6:17 is the Rhema Word of God.  It is the spoken word of God.  The real power comes when the logos word becomes the rhema word.  There is power in the logos but not with in us, as far as words go.  The power comes when the word is spoken.  There is great power when we speak the word of God.  When the logos is real to us it becomes the rhema because it is real and we believe in it.  There for we speak the word.  God speaks the rhema into us if we are listening, but we two speak the rhema word when we speak with boldness and with full confidence, the Word of God.

The logos is the seed planted inside of us.
The rhema is the power of God spoken.

Decide to not only get the logos planted inside, but get the rhema word spoken.  Use the power that god has given us.
