DINNER INVITATION

Image
By
In the passage of scripture that Luke described in chapter 14 as the "Great Supper", verse 15 says that one who heard what Jesus was teaching said "Someday God will have a kingdom feast and how blessed will be the ones who get to eat the best bread of the kingdom." This one was assuming the kingdom of God was coming one day, but what Jesus was teaching through this parable... that it had already begun with the invitation to come to Him, the King. In the rest of this passage it says a man invited many to come to a great supper he had prepared, just the same as the Lord invites us to come to His feast of life. Provision and our destiny can be found there, along with vision and strength. Even though they were invited, when everything was ready, all found excuses not to come. Some just didn't want to go, some I believe thought they were supposed to bring something to the party but felt embarrassed because of lack and declined the invitation.                                 We too are faced with this invitation today. God wants to do something supernatural in our life and we feel we should be providing something. It seems to take us a long time to get the revelation that this is a "come as you are" dinner. In Isaiah 55, the invitation is clear. The SUBSTANCE our soul desires and needs is gained by coming just as we are!                                   Jesus said in Luke 14:33, unless you surrender all to me, giving up all you possess, you cannot be my disciples. This does NOT mean you have to give away your house, empty your bank account or quit your job. What it does mean is you must give away your own thoughts of ever doing this in your own strength. We must choose to lose our self-reliance, say YES and  show up, just as we are, to His great banquet as an honored family member!

EAT THIS BREAD,.....LIVE

By
 In John 6:48-51 it reads in The Passion , "I AM the true Bread of Life. Your ancestors ate manna in the desert and died. But standing here before you is the true Bread that comes out of heaven, and when you eat this Bread you will never die. I alone am this living Bread that has come to you from heaven. Eat this Bread and you will live forever. The living Bread I give is my body, which I will offer as a sacrifice so that all may live." There is a difference between eternal life and living forever. The only reason I would die is if there is a record of sin in my DNA. I do not need to die, none of us do. But we need to undergo transformation by applying the body and blood of Jesus. The body and blood of Jesus carry the record of the DNA of God. We can age and die, or we can take the body and blood of Jesus within ourselves, and live forever!. Jesus says in John 6:58, "I am not like the bread your ancestors ate and later died. I am the living Bread that comes from heaven.

BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE

By
"As Jesus left the house, He was followed by two blind men crying out,`Mercy, Son of David! Mercy on us!' When Jesus got home, the blind men went in with Him. Jesus said to them,`Do you really believe I can do this?' They said, `Why, yes, Master!' He touched their eyes and said, `Become what you believe.' It happened. They saw." Matthew 9:27-30(The Message Bible) In this scripture, Jesus says, "Become what you believe." So, what are we believing? Our belief has enormous power. When the men said,"Lord, we want our eyesight," Jesus touched them and released the anointing, the dunamis power, to transform them according to their belief! What do you believe? Come in alignment with what He says, because you are becoming what you believe! If you see yourself as God sees you, it doesn't matter what other things are going on, or what other people are saying. In Philippians 1:6 it states that He who has begun a good work in you is faithful to ful

SPIRIT PRAYER

By
When you don't know what to pray...Pray in the Spirit. Have you ever wondered what happens in heaven when you pray in the Spirit? When you pray in the Spirit, the smoke of incense fills the throne room of God. "Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. And he was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints,ascended before God from the angel's hand." Revelation 8:3-4. In the tabernacle Moses was instructed to build was an altar used in free will offerings. There is an golden altar before the throne in heaven(on earth as it IS in heaven). When we pray in the Spirit we activate that incense being burned in front of the throne. God really likes the incense. It creates a fragrance that God loves to smell, it's our Spirit prayer!!! When we pray in the Spirit, it is by our will. We present it wit
