JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST

Romans 8:16-17 says, “…that we are the children of God. And if children, then heirs… joint heirs with Christ… if so be that we suffer with him (so) that we may be also glorified together (with Him).”

An heir stands to inherit the estate. Jesus’ inheritance is all heaven and earth. He has been glorified by His Father. We stand to share in that glory together with Him.

There is a caveat added that says, “if so be that we suffer with Him… “.

Helen has recently been teaching in our broadcast sessions about our “fellowship of His sufferings.”

In our Lord’s prayer in John 17:4-5, Jesus spoke of being glorified as a result of His suffering for the redemptive work here on earth. As followers of Jesus, we must also faithfully endure the present suffering in this physical world so as to be eternally glorified with Him.

Nobody has legitimately claimed that this life is a “cake walk.” We all have our moments of challenge or difficulty at times, and much more for some people than for others. But we must patiently “run the race of life” to the end. John 8:18 then tells us, “that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” for all eternity.

As the old gospel song says, “It will be worth it all when we see Jesus. Life’s trials will seem so small… “. No matter what we go through, our inheritance will far outweigh anything good or bad on earth.

IMAGINATIONS

God gave mankind the ability to think and along with that to have creative imaginations. He has gifted many to create with their imaginations such things as even this computer that I am writing this on. Others have been given the creative gift of inventions such as electricity, and the ability to cure diseases.

The imagination is a wonderful thing to have if it is brought under the influence of the Holy Spirit. If it isn’t, then the things that we create can bring into being harmful things. I believe that many video games that children play with have introduced violence and demonic spirits into their imaginations. Some become so engrossed in these games that eventually they act these things out in “real life.” There is nothing wrong with being a soldier, but when your whole thought life is controlled by these violent games, it becomes an obsession to be violent.

We are to bring our imaginations under the influence of God. In II Corinthians 10:5 it says, “Casting down imaginations, and every high (prideful) thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

We must be careful what we let into our “eye gate” or imagination. If we are looking at pornography or television programs that are full of lust and sin, we will be snared with our imaginations. The scripture tells us that to look on a woman with lust is the same thing as committing adultery. (Matthew 5:28.) Have you imagined things by looking at these things that are ungodly? I Corinthians 6:9 tells us that adulterers shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

If a thought comes into your imagination that doesn’t glorify God, then throw it away. Refuse to think on it, or it will take root, and eventually must be pulled out. Satan works in our thought lives. He did it with Adam and Eve. They looked at the fruit and imagined how it would taste and imagined how it would be to be like “God”. Little did they realize that these thoughts brought them death. They were already like God, created in His image. Satan cannot give us anything that isn’t a counterfeit.

Then there is the fear that comes from imagining the worst in a situation. Satan peppers your mind with what ifs, and if you succumb to these imaginations, you will live a tormented life. II Timothy 1:7 says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.” See the word sound mind? That means your mind is not to be controlled by the fear that Satan sends. God’s love and power gives us a sound mind. It conquers fear, but we must renew our minds to the Word of God, not the thoughts Satan places in our minds.

Finally, we are to think on thoughts that are pure, lovely, and of a good report. Philippians tells us this. It is a choice to think or imagine the right kind of things. If you have a problem with your imaginations and your thoughts, take it to Jesus. Confess it as sin and choose to turn away from the imaginations that bring you into bondage. He will help you if you ask him. If you still have a struggle, then you should ask your Pastor to help you. He should have the wisdom to help you rectify this.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

8-31-2022

There has been an anchor in your life. You feel that it has held you back from your destiny, but it wasn't doing that. It was protecting you from the storms that would have caused your life's ship to fail and sink. Now this anchor is being pulled into your ship. The anchor is the word of God that you have been embracing, and surely you shall see that what is happening has been for your growth. Now the word will lift you to the place that I intended for you saith the Lord. It will not weigh you down, but it shall be the foundation that I have laid for you to be able to go forth in this season. For I am once again putting the wind in your sails so you can traverse with me into uncharted water. I am leading you and I am bringing you to a new place that you have not yet been to. You have been preparing for this while the anchor held you back, but it is now time to go forth and do what I have called you to do. You see, my child, everything is in my timing, and now you are going forth because it is the right time. Do not feel fear, but do not pride yourself that you have arrived. Walk humbly before me and you shall do great exploits. For this is your hour to go forth knowing that I am with you. I will guide you as you go, and you shall see that it has all been worth the wait saith the Lord. Go forth now with my blessings for you will surely not regret what you have learned in the season you have been in, saith the Lord.

Learn to choose your words, your deeds and your acts of kindness so very carefully and prayerfully. The truth is there’s some really great people reading this; And you need to stop wasting your valuable energy, your time, your words and your deeds on those who right now only needs your SILENCE…Bathed in much PRAYER of course. Just know there are times when the most powerful thing you can do or say to some folks…Is absolutely NOTHING. You simply PRAY and put them in the hands of our loving, faithful and just God who is able to do exceedingly above and beyond what you or I can think or hope for.
