ASK, SEEK, KNOCK

 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks finds, and he who knocks that has the door opened to him."Matthew 7:7           In our daily time of prayer & worship, which flows from deep within us, it's not the QUANITY of time we spend but rather the QUALITY of this time that is important! Each of these main words in this verse; Ask, Seek, and Knock have a seperate and different result. Ask and IT will be given. This IT is that for which we are asking. IT will be given to the one who asks. We can trust the Lord to rightly respond to our asking. This asking must be according to the will of the Lord, which we will learn as we spend (trade) the QUALITY time in His presence. Faith comes the more we know Him. Then confidently we know we receive when we ask!  Seeking goes beyond our asking to receive...Seeking is discovering as we know Him better as a person. In asking we desire or need "something." In seeking we want the Lord to reveal Himself to us, to KNOW Him intimately. In both the asking & seeking we receive but very differently! Knocking is distinct from asking or seeking. "Knock and it will be opened to you" not "for" you but "to" you! Not given, but rather a doorway into a new realm or dimension will be opened before us...a birthing into a higher spiritual realm or to an open door that was closed before! The attitude & intention of our heart must be right for things like this to happen...The Lord WANTS to impart the faith to bring into being for what we are asking...

NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS

IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, EVEN THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. COLOSSIANS 1:14... Did you know that the blood of a baby in the womb never comes in contact with the mother and that it is contributed by the male seed, not by the female egg? This was a divine plan of God when He designed men & women. God knew He would need to send a Savior into the world to redeem them!!! We all need a SAVIOR and only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us and make us white as snow!!! Redeem means to pay a price to ransom someone. Our redemption could only be bought with the perfect, pure blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus came from the Holy Spirit when He overshadowed Mary, therefore the blood of Jesus was completely pure. His blood was the only blood that could pay for our sins because it came directly from God and was never contaminated with sin. It was the perfect payment and sacrifice for our forgiveness!!!The blood of Christ is still cleansing and washing us today as much as it did two t

Disposition of Messiah

Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!

COVENANT OF MULTIPLICATION

And I will make my covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly. Genesis 17:2... God made a number of covenants in the Old Testament and then concluded them all in Jesus Christ. The most well known of these covenants were with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and David. The verse above refers to the covenant made with Abraham. God promises He will multiply the blessings with the ones He is in covenant with. God multiplied Abraham, Issac and Jacob. He gave them the bounty and the Promised Land. He blessed those who blessed them and cursed those who cursed them. According to the history of the Bible and the testimony of the book of Jasher, the lineage of Abraham, Issac and Jacob were greatly feared among the nations because of the blessings of God that were on them. Our expectation and faith in what God will do for us is dependent upon knowing the promise of the covenant He has made with us. Galatians 3:14 states that the covenant blessing of Abraham is for us in the new cove
