Planting The Word
John 15:7,8 - If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
SOME ARE WILLING TO SPEND HOURS IN PRAYER ASKING FOR A MIRICLE INSTEAD OF PLANTING THE WORD OF GOD IN THEIR HEARTS, WHICH IN TIME WOULD PRODUCE THE MIRACLE. PRAYER IS WHAT WATER AND FERTILIZER ARE TO A SEED. THEY HELP THE WORD RELEASE ITS LIFE.
BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T PLANTED THE SEED, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH WATER AND FERTILIZER YOU APPLY, THE SOIL STILL WON'T PRODUCE FRUIT. IT'S THE SEED THAT HAS LIFE!

1 Peter 2:9 -- "For you have been chosen by God Himself -- you are priests of the King, you are holy and pure, you are God's very own -- all this so that you may show to others how God called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light."
We know we are a priesthood, chosen by God, possessed by God, holy like God and royal to God. We have immediate access to Him and we don't need a human priest as a mediator because our Heavenly Father provided one Mediator between... | Regular Member | |

The reality is that we're in battle. We're being prevailed against. Some of us are "losing" in the fight against sin and sickness, disease and death. Some of us are losing the battle for our kids to know Jesus. Some of us are battling for our marriages.... | Regular Member | |

| Posted 27th August 2009 at 11:01 PM by ALIOSIAS Romans 1:1 - "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God."
Many are called, but we are never separated. That separation is a threefold thing:
First: The New Creation separates us from the old life.
Second:As the Word is built into us, we are separated unto Christ. First, there is a separation from the world; now there is a separation unto the Master. Jesus becomes the Lord of our lives. His Word dominates... | Regular Member | |

Jesus lived a life of of prayer, and when He needed dedicated prayer time He would send crowds and, most likely, potential resources away so that He could be with the Father. As a result He would not move, speak, or do anything that the Father did not ask Him to do.
Our talking and listening to the Father should be a continuum or seamless activity... | Regular Member | |

| Posted 8th August 2009 at 06:51 PM by ALIOSIAS Matthew 9:37,38 - "Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
The Greek word translated "send out" is "ekballo", which at the root level means to "drive out." "Ballo" is where we derive the English word for "ballistic."
There is force and sense of urgency, a driving out, a thrusting... | Regular Member | |
