HOW TO LIVE IN HIS BLESSINGS  -  By Sammy Rodriguez

FROM DUST TO LIVING BEING

Genesis 2:7

“The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”   

Hosea 6:2 NIV

“After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.”

LIVING IN HIS BLESSINGS

When you live in His sight (presence), you live with a continuous blessing.

v  You may have been sick, but now you are blessed with Jehovah-rophe.

v  You may have  been in poverty, but today you are blessed with Jehovah-Jireh.

v  You may have been with no identity, but today you are blessed with Jehovah-Nissi.

v  You have been living in loneliness, but today you are blessed with Jehovah-Shammah.

v   You have been struggling with unrighteousness, but today you are blessed with Jehovah-Tsidkenu. (His righteousness)

v   You may have been living with weakness, but today you are blessed with El Shaddai. (God Almighty)

There are many curses out there, but the blood of Jesus Christ broke the curse.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” Galatians 3:13

THE BLESSINGS BEGINS FOR YOU  

Ø                          Get up and shout, the curse is broken.

Ø   Get up and dance, the curse is broken.

Ø   Get up and worship, the curse is broken.

When the curse is broken, the blessing begins.

For Abraham the Lord said “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” – Genesis 12:1-3

Ø   Before you were sick, He already healed you.

Ø   Before you were down, He already lifted you up.

Ø   Before you sinned, He already forgave you.

Ø   Before you are sad, He already rejoiced over you.

Ø   Before Abraham was. I AM. Hallelujah!

Ø   The blessings does not come from Abraham –  it comes from Jesus Christ above.

Ø  You are blessed, You possess the blessing of Jesus.

COME OUT OF THE CURSE!

v   Therefore, in order to come into your blessing, you must come out of your curse. Come out, wherever you are:

v   Noah came out of the ark

v   Moses came out of the desert.

v   Jonah came out of the whale.

v   John came out of the wilderness.

v   Lazarus came out of the tomb.

v   Jesus Christ came out of the grave.

I AM COMING OUT!   

Repeat with me “I am coming out! You must come out in order to come in your blessings.

Ø   I am coming out of sin.

Ø   I am coming out of poverty.

Ø   I am coming out of my flesh.

Ø   I am coming out of my abuse & victimization.

Ø   I am coming out of religion.

Ø   I am coming out of mediocrity & complacency.

Ø   I am coming out of pride, envy, lust, jealousy, hatred.

Ø   I am coming out of my debt.

I AM COMING INTO!    

ü  I am coming into the Blessing of God.

ü    I am coming into His glory, victory.

ü    I am coming into the anointing.

ü    I am coming into the Cross.

ü    I am coming into the prophetic Word.

ü    I am coming into the fullness of the River of God’s   Life.

ü  COME INTO GOD’S GLORY AND POWER!

ü  COME INTO GOD’S REVIVAL!

REMEMBER THE THIRD DAY 

In Scripture, the most powerful events happen on the third day.  Abraham offered up Issac; Joshua crossed over the Jordan River; Hezekiah’s years were added; Jesus turned water into wine; and the most important occurrence – Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day.

    Hosea 6:2 NIV says, - (Our Prophetic Day)

“After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.”

REMEMBER THE WORD 

    Luke 4:21 – NIV.

Then he began to speak to them. “The Scripture you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!”

    2 Peter 1:21

“For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

BENEDICTION

·                           May the Lord bless the third day believers living for Christ in His presence.

•      May we be living in the Prophetic days ahead of us full of the power and glory of God.

•      May the Church rise up into victories after victories for God’s Honor and Glory.

•      May Jesus the Son of God be lifted up and glorified by all nations.

 

 

EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE

You wake up every morning in the Garden of Eden with the Tree of Life growing in the midst of it but you are totally ignorant and unconscious about it, and you keep doing what Adam and Eve did by feasting continually from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that keeps manifesting death in you through the carnal mind!

Stop feasting from the Tree of Knowledge of Good AND Evil, and you will be delivered from the illusion of delusion of DUALITY, the belief in opposing forces...

God & devil

Good & evil

Health & sickness

Light & darkness              

Harmony & discord   

Life & death

Heaven & hell

Abundance & lack

Liberty & bondage

Blessings & curses

Righteousness & sin

 

[All these negative things no longer exist in the Presence and Mind of the Life-Giving Christ within you! In His Presence there is only Light, Liberty, Harmony, Wholeness and Bliss]

Feast only from the Tree of Life and Manifest only...

LIFE

LOVE

LIGHT

OUT OF YOUR INTIMATE AND INSEPARABLE ONENESS WITH THE FATHER WITHIN, WHO IS THE INFINITE SOURCE OF YOUR UNFAILING, UNCEASING, UNLIMITED TOTAL SUPPLY!

THE HOLY SPIRIT’S MINISTRY 

The Holy Spirit is very often ignores by the Church and its ministry. The Holy Spirit has a balance Ministry for all believers in Christ.  We today need to know the ministry of the Spirit so that we can live a victorious life.

The Balance Ministry of the Holy Spirit –pg 155 of his book “The Names of the Holy Spirit” by Elmer Towns.

Teaching of the Spirit’s Ministry is to get the Church aware of the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit. Many believers does not know what the Spirit of God is doing in our lives daily.  We seek the Holy Spirit as our Helper and Comforter and yet not aware of what He is doing today.

This teaching is an awareness of the work and ministry of the Spirit that is working and helping us to live a victorious Christian life.

The Seven Ministry of the Spirit

1. The Spirit of Access – John 3:5

2. The Spirit of Indwelling – Eph. 2:22

3. The Spirit of Power – Eph. 3:16

4. The Spirit of Unity – Eph. 4:3

5. The Spirit of Fruitfulness - Ephesians 5:9

6. The Spirit of Fullness – Eph. 5:18

7. The Spirit of Victory – Ephesians 6:17,18

1. The Spirit of Access – John 3:5

4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. – John 3:4-6

The Holy Spirit of Access give balance to the earthly life of the Christian, the Spirit provides entrance into the heavenlies. We have access to the family of God in salvation and access to God in prayer. Our fellowship is possible because of the Holy Spirit’s role to give us new life when we are born again.  To enter the Kingdom of God we must be born again in the Spirit.

2. The Spirit of Indwelling

What the Indwelling Spirit gives? – Eph. 2:22

1. Eternal life

2. A new nature

3. Spiritual life

4. New desires

5. The fruit of the Spirit

6. Love and assurance 

When a person becomes a Christian he or she is immediately indwelt by the Holy Spirit.  The Spirit motivates us to personal holiness and makes it possible for us to live a holy life. (I Cor. 6;15-20)   The Christian life is the life of God living through us. 

What does the Holy spirit do when He comes into our lives?  The Spirit brings great joy and peace into our lives  (Gal. 5:22)

So when the Indwelling Spirit brings when He indwell our lives? 

3. The Spirit of Power - Ephesians 3:16

16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Power – day of Pentecost comes “You shall received power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you and you shall be my witnesses”  The Holy Spirit is the source of all spiritual power needed both to live for and to serve God.  Just as an electric motor will not work when it is not plugged in.  Likewise Christians will fail in their lives if they are not plugged into the Holy Spirit – filled with His power and allowing Him to live and work through their lives.

4. The Spirit of Unity -  Ephesians 4:3

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

The Holy Spirit makes unity among Christians in two ways.

Firstly, we have the same indwelling of Christ the same Holy Spirit in common – a basis for unity.

Secondly, He is the one who has placed every Christian into a single Body, the Body of Christ.  There is one Body and one Spirit. Eph. 4:4

When there is disunity – the Holy Spirit is being hindered. In such cases believers may be fighting God or simply refusing to allow the Holy Spirit to control their lives.

5. The Spirit of Fruitfulness - EPHESIANS 5:9

“For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.”

Our ability to bear spiritual fruit in whatsoever, the Lord has committed into our hands is very vital to our spiritual growth. It doesn’t matter how big or little it is. We must do everything to be fruitful in it.

Increase comes from the Lord (Ecclesiastes 9:11). It does not come as a result of how much has been committed into our hands, or how hard working we are in the Kingdom.

Remember God called you to do only what He tells us to do. The work of the Kingdom is not a race with others in the Kingdom. You are not in competition with your fellow Christians. The devil is the one who is making it look like it is a race. He uses the competitive spirit of the unsaved world, to play Christians against one another.

If you truly want to bear spiritual fruit, you will need to first be separated, from those with that competitive spirit of the unsaved world. You can’t grow spiritually while hanging around those who operate in the flesh. They will stifle you out of ministry with that kind of spirit.

Factors that Affect Fruitfulness

Every fruit bearing tree is affected by the following:

(a) The nature/type of tree.

(b) The soil where it is planted.

(c) The nature/quality of nutrients it receives.

(d) Natural factors around it.

(e) Human factors affecting it (influence or cultivation attitude)

Similarly, our ability to bear fruit in the Kingdom and the quality and quantity of fruit we bear is a function of the following;

(i) Whose are You? Who/what is your Source? What kind of fruit are you bearing, it will tell us of your source (Luke 6:44).

(ii) Where are you Planted? Every seed has the potential of bearing fruit but it’s not every seed that ends up bearing fruit. You need to be rightly planted/positioned. See Luke 4:14- Jesus being filled of the Holy Spirit.

(iii) What do you feed On? When and How? (John 3:6) flesh begets flesh & Spirit begets spirit). The spirit gives life and the word is spirit and life altogether, see John 14:17, 26, John 15:26, 16:13.

(iv) Who is your Gardener? (1 Corinthians 2:9-14).

(v) Do you know your fruiting Season? 1 Corinthians 12:4

(vi) Is there a longing for Fruit? Galatians 5:16-25

(vii) How good is your fruit (Matthew 7:17-19) 

6. The Spirit of Fullness

Ephesians 5:18 states, “and do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit.’

The fullness of the Holy Spirit empowers us for service. We are filled with the Holy Spirit to serve God and others. The fullness of the Holy Spirit made a difference in Peter's life (Acts 2 & 4:8). ... The Spirit-filled life is not abnormal; it is the normal Christian life.

When you received Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, the Holy Spirit came to live within you. We call that the indwelling of the Spirit. You were also brought into the body of Christ, which is called the baptism of the Spirit. Then at the same time, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. The Holy Spirit becomes resident within your heart. He indwells you from then on forever. However, unfortunately, when the Holy Spirit comes to live within us, He does not always get control of our lives.

7. The Spirit of Victory -  Ephesians 6:17,18

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: ¹⁸ Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does (John 5:19).  Jesus was depending on the Father through the Holy Spirit who gives Him victory in ministry.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, thank you for the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives that indwell in us and empower us that cause us to be fruitful in our lives and victorious in warfare.

Thank you that we can access into the Spirit and with the fullness of the Spirit we are able to serve and extend the Kingdom of God with God’s glory and grace.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

USING WHAT WE HAVE!

 

“USING WHAT WE HAVE”  - Exod. 4:1-5

“And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.

² And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

³ And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

⁴ And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

⁵ That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.”

1. Moses had a rod     (Exod. 4:1-5)

God asks what Moses has in his hand, and Moses answers "a staff" ("a rod" in the KJV version). The staff is miraculously transformed into a snake and then back into a staff. The staff is thereafter referred to as the "rod of God" or "staff of God" (Exod. 4:20)

What the Rod represents?  What a lesson we can learn from the rod?

1. The rod of Moses represented his whole life. It symbolized his ambition, vocation, wisdom, skills, status, strength or might. His rod was his identity, his instrument, his weapon or defence in the desert.

•      When Moses cast in down in obedience God uses the rod supernaturally. It takes such a willingness, disposition or mind-set to be greatly used of God!

Application: Like Moses, having surrendered your life to Christ, it ceases to be yours and you must treat it as such.

•      The Scripture testifies to this truth.

•      1 Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (NKJV).

•      Romans 14:7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. (NKJV).

2. Secondly the rod is a rod of the supernatural God Moses represent.

After his supernatural encounter with God, Moses returned to Egypt with a strong conviction that what he was holding in his hand was no longer his former ordinary shepherd rod, but a holy, divine or supernatural rod.

•      Exodus 4:20 Then Moses took his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the rod of God in his hand. (NKJV).

•      With the rod of God in his hand, Moses wrought great exploits, signs and wonders in Egypt that confounded and humiliated Pharaoh and all the sorcerers, magicians and wise men in Egypt, and brought out the children of Israel from Egypt, thereby fulfilling his divine purpose in life.

3. Thirdly the rod is a rod of Spiritual Authority

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” – Psalms 23:4-5

•      The staff, in the spiritual, represents authority. When we have a revelation of God’s authority, not just over the flock but also over the enemy, it comforts us.

•      Moses threw down the gift of authority that God placed in his hands spiritually when He anointed him to speak the authoritative words of God to Pharaoh.

Application: Our mouth release life.  -  Proverbs 18:21 KJV

•      Death and life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

B. Think of the ways that God used that rod (Exod. 7:15-21; cf. Aaron’s rod [Exod. 8:5-6, 17; 9:22-23; 10:12-14; 14:13-16).

1. The water turned into blood by using the rod. Exod. 7:15-21

2. Moses (Exo.8:5,6) stretch out his hand with the rod over the streams and rivers and ponds and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

3. Exod. 9:22-23 – Moses stretch his hand toward heaven and there hail in the land of Egypt. The Lord rain hail on the land.

4. Locust came upon the land in Exod. 10:12-14

5. Moses lifted up the rod and divided the red sea. Exod. 14:13-16

6. Aaron’s rod represents – Num. 17:8  Aaron’s rod sprouted.

“Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the rod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds.”

Symbolic of Aaron's Rod

•      Aaron has the Life of God's Presence!

•      Aaron has the Fruitfulness!

•      Aaron yielded “ripe almonds” symbolic of Christ Resurrection..!

•      Almond signifies divine favour and approval, and the purity of life.

Application: When God touches our life we will never be the same again. His Presence is with us wherever we go and we will be fruitful and blessings will flow with divine favour and approval from God. Let us praise and glorify Him.

PRAYER

“Lord, help me to accomplish your purposes for my life in my generation. All of us only get one life, one chance, one set of time.  We have a high calling, and God you have a purpose for us to serve in our own generation just like David.

May we make use of our life, time, abilities, talents and the Gospel of the Word to reach out to people around us. Thank you for giving us power and spiritual authority to use it for your glory. 

In Jesus Name, we pray, Amen.

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
