Consecrate and Cross On Over

Written by John Tyler


Continued from page 1

“Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God” (2 Cor. 7:1).

You don’t trudge across this valley alone. Remember, Joshua commandedrepparttar priests to carryrepparttar 126797 ark ofrepparttar 126798 covenant beforerepparttar 126799 people. You have his presence to lead and guide you. You don’t move forward in your own power.

The work he does in each of us will be accomplished not by might, not by power, but by his Spirit (Zech. 4:6).

In his incredible book, “Loose That Man and Let Him Go!” Bishop T.D. Jakes describesrepparttar 126800 Jordan River experience asrepparttar 126801 place “you align yourself with God’s purpose. It puts to death every diversion that keeps you fromrepparttar 126802 place God has designated as your dwelling place.”

I don’t know about you, but there is no hidden sin, attitude, weight or distraction that is worth hindering where God wants to take me. Lord, please convict us of those things that keep us from becoming all we can be in you!

His favor has surrounded us firmly and securely like a shield (Psalm 5:12), and we are moving forward. Today we throw off everything that hinders andrepparttar 126803 sin that so easily entangles (Heb. 12:1).

So step out,repparttar 126804 waters have parted. Let’s fix our eyes firmly on Jesus andrepparttar 126805 place of wholeness, victory and abundance onrepparttar 126806 other side.

Tomorrow he will do amazing things among us!

Do Your Memories Empower or Restrict?

Written by John Tyler


Continued from page 1

The fact is that I finally started taking God at his word, and his word states that this salvation is for me and my household (Acts 16:31).

I simply changed my mindset. I began thanking God, each time I had a chance, that my family members were coming into his kingdom even though they hadn't yet. And, just like he promised, I looked up one day and I had four previously unsaved relatives sitting next to me in church...with more to follow!

How often do we pray for God's hand to move in our life, but take preconceived ideas with us torepparttar throne?

Even after recounting one ofrepparttar 126796 greatest physical miracles of history,repparttar 126797 parting ofrepparttar 126798 Red Sea, God said to his people in Isaiah 43 that it is okay to believe him for even bigger miracles in their lives.

"Forgetrepparttar 126799 former things; do not dwell onrepparttar 126800 past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way inrepparttar 126801 desert and streams inrepparttar 126802 wasteland" (Isaiah 43: 18-19). Even as you read those words, I believe you do perceive it. I believe something is stirring within you to trust him at a greater level than you ever have before.

If we are looking for new levels of victory, we must reach new levels of expectancy.

Your family is coming into his kingdom!

God has supernaturally touched your financial situation!

You are healed no matter whatrepparttar 126803 doctor's report has said!

He is giving you supernatural wisdom to make that tough decision!

Today, I believe he is tearing down your walls. These walls have kept him in a box and kept you confined by what you have or haven't seen him do inrepparttar 126804 past. Forget those former things. He is making a way inrepparttar 126805 desert you face today, and streams for you in your personal wasteland.

You serve a loving, supernatural God who declares to you today that nothing is impossible with him (Luke 1: 37).

No matter what adversity you face today, search your memory for times he's brought you through inrepparttar 126806 past, but never let what you've seen inrepparttar 126807 past set limits on your tomorrow.

Continually remind yourself this week thatrepparttar 126808 same God who partedrepparttar 126809 Red Sea for his people and caused blind eyes to see is doing a new thing in your life.

He's tearing downrepparttar 126810 walls that have kept him confined and he's making a way where there seems to be no way.

It's time for a praise break. Take a moment right now, wherever you are, and thank him for his faithfulness and goodness in your past, as well asrepparttar 126811 miracle you are believing him for now.

Rest assured, more of his goodness and faithfulness is on its way!
