Greetings to all Champions!
I write to you with great expectations! I am expecting God, through the power of the Holy Spirit that resides in each of you to do the impossible! If you watch the news you realize that our world as it moves away from God, is falling a part! All around the world there is death, deception and destruction. Whether you live in the Great Lakes Region of Africa, Madagascar, the Middle East or the United States, man continues to think He is God and doesn’t need the very one who created him! How sad, because the end will be destruction for all who live separated from the living God, JESUS CHRIST! We are living in perilous times my friends, but be of good cheer because Jesus Christ has overcome all that you see and may be experiencing today!
This is the Word of the Lord for you!
“Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.” 2 Corinthians 5:5
You have been prepared for this! Prepared for what? The apostle Paul is speaking about the resurrection and eternal life! He is sharing how the power of eternal life changes how we live NOW! The word “prepare” in the King James Version is “wrought.” It means to accomplish, to finish, to fashion. In other words God has made you for this time that you live. Whatever you may be going through, you were created to face. You possess everything necessary to be successful in Christ. It is like one of those cake mixes that you buy in a box at the grocery store. Everything is in the box to make it a cake. All you have to do is add water! You are the cake mix and all that has to be added is the Holy Spirit, which God has given to us! Guaranteed to work! Let me share with you what you have been prepared for.
1. You are prepared to speak the unspeakable! “And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak.” 2 Corinthians 4:13 We speak by faith calling those things that do not exist, as though they did! Just like Abraham in Romans 4:17. David did this when facing Goliath! Daniel did this when facing the lions! Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego did this when facing the fiery furnace! Jesus did this when he raised the young girl from the dead. “She is not dead, she is sleeping!!!” You were created, fashioned to speak the unspeakable!
2. You are prepared to see the invisible! “While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 Do not dwell on what you see with your natural eyes. This is what the Lord spoke to me. “You can’t uncreate what is created, but you can form it!” Isaiah 43:1 says, But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;…Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes I have made him.” Isa. 43:1-3,7. Notice here that God doesn’t remove the fire, the rivers, or the waters, but uses them to form His people! The word “created” means to select, to feed, and the word “form” means to mold, to determine. The waters of tribulation that you see with your natural eye is not to destroy you, but to form you into who God created you to be! The forming is invisible! You can’t see it with your natural eye until it is manifested after you come through the fire!!! SEE THE INVISIBLE!
3. You were created to dwell in Him, the eternal! “For this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation, which is from heaven.” 2 Corinthians 5:2 This habitation is Jesus Christ! In Him we live and move and have our being! Our existence! This is the progression of the Kingdom of God. We live in Christ! We move by the power of the Holy Spirit and we be or exist because of who God created us to be! This is not just someone we will be in the future or in heaven, but it is who we are now by faith!
4. You were created to walk by faith and not be sight! 2 Corinthians 5:7 Verses 6 and 8 both speak of confidence! We walk with confidence because faith in Christ allows us to overcome the trials and tribulations of this world! THAT MORTALITY (DEATH) MAY BE SWALLOWED UP BY LIFE! LIFE SWALLOWS UP EVERYTHING THAT WE FACE TODAY! LIFE ALWAYS WINS! LIFE ALWAYS OVERCOMES DEATH!
YOU WERE PREPARED FOR THIS DAY! YOU ARE LIVING IN ETERNAL LIFE NOW!
SPEAK THE UNSPEAKABLE!
SEE THE INVISIBLE!
DWELL IN THE ETERNAL!
WALK IN THE IMPOSSIBLE BY FAITH!
Do not be discouraged today. You were created and prepared for whatever you are facing. God is forming each of us in order that we might manifest Jesus Christ to a world that is lost!
Believing for the impossible,
