Prepare Your Heart to Receive: Cool & Ice

Good afternoon, AGC Family!

We are another day closer to Pastor Dick Bernal’s visit to A Glorious Church! How many are believing to receive from God this weekend? Remember, it is not the man that is so special, even though he is a great man of God; but it is the anointing from God that has been placed on his life to minister to you! That is what we are thankful for.

Any time you are believing God for something, the key is to keep your faith and hope focused on that promise. One of the enemy’s greatest tactics is to try to come in and tell you all kinds of lies during the waiting process. The more time it takes, the harder it is to stay standing on the word of God. The enemy will try to come in and put doubt in your mind. Just like baking this cake, you have just spent the last 30 minutes waiting for it to bake; and now it’s done! But, now you must wait for it to cool. Ugh. 

This is a good time to meditate on the promises of God! Pull those scriptures back up, and go through them again praising, thanking, declaring, and decreeing what they say over your situation. Mix it with faith and hope. Stir yourself up and get excited about the promise!

In Joshua 1:8 we see an example of this:

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

The word tells us that if we meditate on the things of God, then we make our way prosperous and have good success. The Lord placed on Chip’s heart the phrase, “you have to see it to be it.” Just as God had Abram step out of his tent and look at the stars, God is asking us to step out of our situation and believe in His word. In doing so, in the spirit you are putting icing on your cake. You are creating the finished outcome! Glory to God!!!

I am so thankful to God that He loves us so much that He gave us His word! Without the word, we have no faith or hope. Without the word, we have nothing to battle the enemy with! That word is your promise from God Himself. DO NOT let go of that word! Hold tight to it and rejoice over it!
