Long before there is great power in your life, there is great grace. As you receive His grace, there will be no lack in your life. Grace will open the door of your heart and position you to hear - a hearing heart to perceive and understand all the Lord has for you. Be taught by grace and see grace set you up for a blessing.

Believe right and you will live right. So why do so many still struggle with wrong thoughts? Thoughts linger when you own them and say, "It's me.", then those thoughts get down into the heart and you become discouraged and lose hope. The secret is not to take ownership of wrong thoughts, but rather let the word define us. Allow the word to define our thoughts, then our posture will be in a position to hear what the Lord has to say rather than what we have to say. As you hear today, allow your thoughts to become His thoughts you will begin to reign in life through the One, Christ Jesus.

The Pharisees and Sadducees knew how to discern the face of the sky, but could not discern the signs of the times, they never knew who Jesus was. Jesus has a destiny for every one of us, we need to receive His mandate and the doors will open and the grace will be there to fulfil it. As you see Him, you will run your race and receive your reward!

It may seem like things are against you. Jacob said, “All these things are against me”. Actually, they are for you, God is positioning you, He is preparing a place greater than where you are. Jacob didn’t realise the wealth that governed Egypt was from his own house. Jacob only had to walk in and enjoy the riches of Egypt.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1) “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,…” (John 1:14). In our beginning was the Word. We are where we are today because of the words of our mouth. If we don’t like what we are seeing in our world, then change what comes out of our mouth. Long before we see good in our lives, it’s already been in our hearts and spoken out of our mouth, “For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45). When you pray in the spirit, God’s word begins to take shape and form on the inside, and as we pray His perfect prayer we will see His purpose come to pass in our lives.

The cross is God’s masterpiece, His master plan to save humanity from itself. We need to stop trying to save and deliver ourselves and let The Savior save us. Lean back on Him and rest in His finished work. Whatever you are believing God for – no matter how big or small, – if Jesus is in it, then it will happen for you. All our answers are found in grace. Understand today how you can walk in the rhythm of His grace.

In this season where it seems everything man made is being shaken and anything of God remains, the Lord is also saying He wants our joy to remain. How is it possible for our joy to remain? The Lord's answer is to dwell in the secret place, to abide in Him, and He in us, for without Him we can do nothing. So that while the storm rages, at the end of the day we can look out the window and say, "Was there a storm out there?" You see it's not the storms of life that defeat us, it's what we do in the midst of the storm that defeats us or puts us over. As we sit in the secret place, the Lord wants to instruct us and teach us in the way we should go, so He gets to point us in the right direction and guide us His way, then His joy in us will remain.

During this time God is bringing us into a place of spiritual rest, seated in Christ. Position before provision. Provision so we can come into a new, higher place, to take new territory. God wants us to ascend higher into a larger place where everything is prepared and ready. Let's not underestimate what God is doing in this time. We need to see with the eye of faith to grasp all that the Lord is doing in these last days. For this new place is a supernatural place, to walk in the supernatural, we need to be seeing Jesus.

We understand it's not the truth that sets us free, it's "knowing" the truth that sets us free. What truth is Jesus referring to? At an early age the Jews grew up studying the law, yet still battled with sickness and all kinds of oppression, so it can't be the law, they already knew the law. Freedom can only be found in His grace. When you believe right in His grace, bondages will fall off.

When the enemy levels an attack against someone or the church, it means the devil is afraid of what's coming out of that ministry or church. We are in a warfare, for this reason we fight for justification by faith, for the righteous by faith shall live. Therefore the secret to reigning in life is to receive everything Jesus has done for us on the cross. He has made us kings and priests. Take your place and reign in life today!

The local church is the only organisation that has power over the forces of darkness in this world. When believers get together, God’s anointing is in the house, because He is in the house. Jesus is in the midst of the local church. Jesus is not a side issue to prosper us, to heal us and restore us. When Jesus takes centre place, we have Him and all that He is. As you hear today’s message, you will be blessed as you realise the fullness of God’s blessings are in the local church.

The Lord Jesus took our sin, we received His righteousness. Â He took our sickness, we received His health. Â He took our lack, we received His supply. Â He died young, so we may live long. Â He was rejected, now we are accepted. Â Jesus has paid our debt that we could not pay. Â "Paid in full" is now stamped across your life, for He is risen!

Warfare has to do with the mind, and everything we receive from God is by faith, which is the reason the book of Jude exhorts us to "contend for the faith", fight for justification by faith. Â Contend not to come under condemnation, know you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Â The devil would like you to move from your position. What he doesn't realise is that righteousness is a gift, therefore, we can't be more, because it didn't come from us in the first place.
