Are you willing to give your ALL?

Life itself can be mind-blowing. But even more to experience the LIFE of a human being is one that I have yet been able to label as a void. More and more each day, I thank God for revealing to me who I really am. I thank him for allowing me to meet myself for the very first time every day. For most of my life I tried to create and reinvent a completed and perfect creation. It wasn’t until recently that I realized that I just have to set back and allow the Creator to tell me how this thing called LIFE was originally intended to work together. It is just mind-blowing to me to even begin to think of the majesty of God and his sovereignty when he created man. Most people don’t realize that WE are God’s greatest creation. Elohim (The most High & Creative God) Created the Universe, the Planets, The Sun, gravity, electricity, bacteria, plants, animals, humans, etc….. Yet we spend so much time putting the focus on something other than God. We spend most of our time competing with each other, and no one stops to even recognize the fact that WE are the greatest creation and we are meant to be equal as sons and daughters of The Most High God. Some have been so brainwashed to desire the little tangible things in this world, yet they forget the Giver of everything. Some even chase things such as paper money, fame and power, and continue to ignore the Source of ALL Power. Why have we forfeited our inheritance? Children of God, why do we continue to settle for less than Our Father intends for us to have? Why do we want all the gifts and blessings, and none of the suffering or the Giver of it ALL? When will we wake up and realize that it is a trap! The enemy is trying to and continues to steal everything that is rightfully yours , while you are watching! How is it that we will fight and even kill each other over Black Friday Deals yet we won’t fight for the TRUTH? (1 Timothy 1: 1-6) I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in ALL godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men the-testimony given in its proper time.

Can you begin to see why God gets angry with us sometimes? Not that he wants to punish us but he is trying to wake us up so that we might begin to see who he really created us to be. I don’t care what anyone says, God is a jealous God! He hates to see us settle for the “mere crumbs” we so often like to boast about, especially when you considered the fact that he designed it for us to have “The Best”. We will always be his children, the ones he loves SO MUCH that he came down in the FLESH, to show us how to get out of our MESS, so that we would realize that we are BLESSED, so that we could go and tell the world how to truly “REST”, all while being in the presence of the Lord. ( Ephesians 1:4-8) “ For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In LOVE he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.” (Colossians 1:15-20) He is the Image of the invisible God, the firstborn over ALL creation. For by him ALL things were created: things in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; ALL things were created by him and for him. He is before ALL things, and in him ALL things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him reconcile to himself ALL things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”

He hates to see us walking around in our little box, struggling and trying to make it with the mindset of “Contentment” so many of us have. Many who, unfortunately, end up with a “Rags to Riches” life and a “Riches to Rags” death! How about this, the Law of Physics now suggests that the ENTIRE Universe could have originated from ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! (Don’t believe me, go research it) The matter that was absolutely nothing is suggested to have gone from nothing to the size of the Earth in about 3 seconds or less…. You think that’s crazy huh, lets look In the Holy Bible in Genesis 1:1 The NIV reads, In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. ( You can read on more) But look at the word created, it has quite a few definitions in the English context. some interesting definitions of the verb “create” – is “to bring something into existence.” Another definition is “to use imagination to invent things or produce works of art.” The 5th definition that I found relates to the word “create” as it is utilized in a performance is “ to be the first person to perform a particular role in a theatrical production.” Now this might be just me because I have a passion for the performing arts but it now makes sense to me why “God saw that it was Good, and very Good” at the end of each day of creating! My GOD! If you believe that God has done all of this, why don’t you think that God can do what he has already destined you for. God is too big, we have to stop trying to think outside the box, you have to get rid of the box! God wants us to go from Riches to Riches, or to be biblically correct, from Faith to Faith, and from Glory to Glory.

The problem is that we spend too much of our lives searching and chasing a dream that is not our own. Are you a dream-chaser, or are you a God-Chaser? Do you believe that God wants you to have ALL that he has? Do you believe that he has the answers to ALL of your questions? God didn’t ALmost send Jesus here to restore our chance to regain our right to live in Eternity with him, Our Father. God made sure that “ALL” of his children would have the chance to choose. So much that he added another “L” to make sure that the contradicting “m” in the word “Almost” knew exactly what he was trying to do. (Ephesians 1:9-10) And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed inn Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment-to bring ALL things and on earth together under one head, even Christ. Look at the letter “m” it is used in such words as million, mega, mass, multitude, meter, most, member, all of which are exclusive amounts of a certain object, thing or persons. But now lets Look at the letter “L” which begins word such as line, lift, length, latitude, longitude, luminance, law, and love. All of which in some way can describe the thoughts of God when He created The Heavens and Earth and Man! But lets look even closer at the letter L in the Roman Numerals. “L” stands for the number 50, very much so that it is just amazing that Jesus told the disciples that he would send someone, a comforter. Now notice the position in the letter “L” in DISCIPLE. It is the 7th letter, and exactly after 7 complete weeks (49 days) after Jesus’ Ascension, The One (1) he promised (John 14:15-31) then came on the 50th day (49+1=50) . We know him as the Holy Spirit. Notice the position of the “L” in Holy Spirit, it is the 3rd letter and we all can agree that he is the 3rd part of the Divine Trinity. I promise you I’m not making this stuff up! Lol But the biggest thing that I want you to realize the position of the letter “L” in the English alphabet, it is the 12th letter, and it is also a consonant which we all should know by now that consonants when used as adjectives are in agreement or harmony with something, hence the double LL’s in the word “ALL” They are in harmonious agreement following behind the letter “A” which represents the number 1, the Alpha in Alpha and Omega. 12 is a perfect number, it is the number of perfection in government. There were 12 disciples, 12 gates with 12 pearls, Jesus appeared on the scene at the temple at age 12, 12 angels, there are 12 months, 12 inches on a ruler, 12 notes in the chromatic scale, how about the real meaning behind the 12 days of Christmas song and the “Epiphany”. God is so strategic when he does something, you just have to get yourself to a place where you can be cleansed of all the clutter that we have polluted our spirits with and open your minds and hearts to the Awesome power of The Truth of God. God wants to do some amazing things in your life, but you have to be willing to surrender your own will and submit to his will.

This journey is not an easy one, especially when you have been living such a comfortable life being deceived by the sinful ways of this world. But thank God that Jesus came to give us life, and life more abundantly! It is very hard to step out and do something different, especially when it comes to changing from a life of contentment, unbelief, and sin, to a committed life of holiness and unbroken fellowship and rest in God. People will judge you, talk about you to your face and behind your back. Surprisingly it’s not the people who you don’t know that you should be worried about. It’s the people who are near to you and were with you encouraging you to live such a destructive life. It’s partially because they know things that you have done in your past, and even partially because of you trying to do something new that doesn’t involve them. But mainly one reason you will experience such great opposition and backlash is because when you begin to try to live a holy life that God called you to, it convicts those very same people who put their tongues to speak against your transformation. In the largest part this is great because hopefully it motivates those around you to examine their life and begin to seek the truth, to seek God. You can only pray that in God’s timing that they will find the truth and begin to see themselves for who they really are. I heard someone say, one of the main reasons most people don’t talk about Religion (Christianity) is because they don’t want to meet themselves for the very first time. It is hard force yourself to look in the mirror and realize that you have been the reason that you are in the mess that you live in. No one wants to hear the truth, no one wants to be told that they aren’t living a righteous life, no one wants to be told that they are out of order. Everyone is GROWN and can’t be told anything, right? Sadly we ALL are mistaken. But one thing that we must come to realize is that we will never be able to save everyone, and everyone (including those in your circle) can’t always go with you. And you shouldn’t be sorry that some people weren’t able to get a “Backstage Pass” to where you are going. That was the hardest thing for me to do, trying to get people access to a door that only I had access and authority to walk in. Not realizing that it was “MY” backstage to my “dressing room” and that It cost me something to get here! People will never be satisfied with what you do, As long as you are with them in your mess, you are fine, the minute you are called out and escorted to another level of life, there’s a problem. The thing is that people will criticize you where you are currently and where ever you decide to go in the future, so why not be progressive and proactive in your pursuit of destiny. I refuse to allow anyone to hold up my destiny! This is a year of access to the things I have been patiently waiting for. I shall begin to walk into the blessings, positions, titles, spiritual gifts, and authorities that have been placed on the inside of me. No longer will I accept less than God’s Best, or encourage others to wallow in low places amongst me. No longer will I be a prisoner of closing the gates of a Holy Spirit filled mind, nor will I accept the counterfeit of the Enemy! Children of God, let me just say, get ready, the battle has just begun. The enemy is not pleased at the takeover that is about to take place! I pray, Father, who art in heaven, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, Lord I give you access to do your will in the Earth realm this day until your work is complete. Lord give me the strength to endure to the End. Let my words become your words, May I began to speak with the same Power and Authority that you used when you CREATED the Heavens and the Earth. You blew into Adam your “Ruach” and that same breath is in me! Lord I pray that your children who are called by your name will rise up, lay aside their wicked ways and begin to live the holy lives that you have called us to. Then I know that you will heal the land , Lord God. I pray that on this day that you release a fresh anointing into the atmosphere that drenches us with your glory, but most importantly so that we can offer up to you worship and praise that is like a sweet smelling fragrance in your nostrils. Lord I pray that doors are being opened, access is being granted and provision has already been made for those who have prepared themselves to be used for your glory! Lord I praise you for the hearts of your people who are being changed and converted this very day, may you send out your servants to meet their spiritual needs. I pray that they have given up ALL so that you can fill them up with ALL that you desire to give them. Lord I thank you! I praise YOU! And I give You all the Glory! It is in Jesus’ name, I Pray, AMEN!
