THE KINGDOM WITHIN YOU

Luke 17:21

You cannot find God's kingdom with your mind outside of God.
Anyone who wants to know the ways of God, operate in God's Spirit, and do God's will must be ready to move beyond logic.

To try and understand God with mere human reasoning or logic is to fail in the things of the Spirit.
Human reasoning or logic is a major reason people do not know the ways of God, understand God's ways or find God.
Human thinking or logic is also a tool the enemy uses to blind people from the gospel- God's truth.
2 Corinthians 4:4

A prophet in the Bible almost made this mistake, he was about to waste God's oil on the wrong man and anoint the man as king until God stopped the prophet.
1 Samuel 16:4-7
Nicodemus a teacher of the law was told by Jesus how to partake of the kingdom but Nicodemus who was operating with human logic was confused and asked a logical question- "can a man after he is born enter again into his mothers womb and be reborn?"
John 3:1-4
The woman by the well thought Jesus was referring to natural human water when Jesus told her he can give her water that springs up to eternal life.
John 4:10-14
Many people in todays world have missed great opportunities because they used natural things happening around to determine and make decisions. They went in the direction of mere human logic.
Jesus broke bread and shared wine with His disciples.
He was with His disciples but He said the bread was His body and the wine His blood. That doesn't make logical sense but it is the truth.
Luke 22:19
If God says it, it is truth.
Numbers 23:19
Jesus said the kingdom is with us now.
The kingdom is within you.
How does this affect us, how does it benefit us, and what does this mean to us?

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
