SHOW ME!
John 5:20
For the Father loves the Son and SHOWS HIM all he does. Yes, and he will SHOW HIM even GREATER WORKS than these, so that you will be AMAZED.
It is the WILL OF THE FATHER to SHOW YOU GREAT WORKS. It’s HIS WILL to manifest HIMSELF and HIS POWER on the earth THROUGH YOU, just like HE DID FOR JESUS. It’s the WILL OF THE FATHER to SHOW US. It’s His will TO SHOW US HIS GLORY, POWER, ANOINTING, FREEDOM, STRENGTH, MERCY, GRACE, LOVE and ALL THAT HE IS AND DOES. It’s the WILL OF THE FATHER THAT HE invites us to the SHOWING. This promise wasn’t just for JESUS, but it is for YOU! Yes, YOU and even RIGHT NOW! For the Lord also said,
John 14:12
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me WILL DO THE WORKS I have been doing, and they WILL DO EVEN GREATER THINGS THAN THESE, because I am going to the Father.
So, if the FATHER SHOWED JESUS greater and HE is going to SHOW US greater than greater, THEN HE IS GOING TO SHOW US THE GREATEST WORKS that could be done through FAITH IN HIM. Notice that HE SAID, to him who BELIEVES? Yes, to him that has RADIOACTIVE FAITH, BELIEVING that GOD WILL DO WHAT HE HAS PROMISED because HE HAS TO. This is the WILL OF THE FATHER. It’s HIS WILL TO SHOW YOU all that HE DOES AND WILL DO through the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT as you BELIEVE.
As you read this chapter, THE LORD wants to SHOW YOU GREATER! The LORD wants to do EXCEEDINGLY AND ABUNDANTLY, above all that you COULD IMAGINE, through you for OTHERS. The WILL OF THE LORD IS THAT YOU BE AMAZED and that HE GETS GLORY AND HONOR. The LORD is looking for His CHILDREN that will OPERATE in RADIOACTIVE FAITH! HE’S looking for those who would BELIEVE HIM that HE WILLS GREATER WORKS for everyone that they come in CONTACT WITH.
The LORD will REVEAL what is already yours! As your FAITH grows to RADIOACTIVE levels, you will receive BY FAITH all that He has planned for you! As He SHOWS you the dreams and visions HE SEES for you, it will EMPOWER your FAITH for the RECEPTION of that for which He has SHOWED YOU. This is the will of the FATHER. He is always leading us in order to SHOW US something that He has PLANNED and the PROVISION He has for us.
Before we are SHOWN, we must recognize and apply the STRATEGIES and SECRETS to this SHOWING. So what principles must we believe in, agree with, and focus on the promise of, in order to STEP INTO THE SHOWING? Well, let’s start by looking at the life of Abraham, who was just like us, and found the SECRET to the SHOWING.
SHOW ME SECRET & STRATEGY
Genesis 12
So he BUILT AN ALTAR there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he BUILT AN ALTAR to the Lord and CALLED ON THE NAME OF THE LORD.
The first SECRET to the SHOWING, is to BUILD AN ALTAR to the LORD. This ALTAR, is anyplace you take the time to COMMUNE with God. A SECRET place where you go AWAY FROM EVERYBODY else to SEEK GOD’S VOICE in your SPIRIT. If you will make a decision to begin SEEKING GOD and BUILDING AN ALTAR for the LORD, HE WILL SHOW YOU! HE SHOWED ABRAHAM and HE WILL SHOW YOU.
Everywhere Abraham lived, he BUILT AN ALTAR. Abraham understood the importance of HEARING FROM GOD. Abraham UNDERSTOOD that he had to SEEK GOD and that IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, is the ABILITY to SEE what GOD SEES. Paul understood this principle as well, for he said by the Spirit,
Hebrews 11
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
We must come to GOD IN FAITH, recognizing and realizing that the SECRET and STRATEGY to THE SHOWING is found in the SEEKING. Now, if you are reading this book, you are SEEKING GOD. So say with me right now, IN FAITH, “SHOW ME LORD!”. Ask HIM now. Ask HIM. Alright, are you ready to SEE? Great! Let’s continue.
GO TO THE SHOW!
Genesis 12
12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go… (and)… I will SHOW YOU. 4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him;
The motivation for Abraham to GO, was that God would SHOW. If you will make a decision to follow after the Lord, HE WILL SHOW you all that He desires and has planned for you and even others around you. He wants to SHOW you all things, but you have to GO. If you will GO, HE WILL SHOW! Will you go by FAITH? If you want to SEE what the LORD HAS PLANNED, you will have to be like ABRAHAM and GO first, by FAITH.
Notice how Abraham was motivated by reward? The Lord said, I will show. Therefore, there was a PRIZE for the PRINCIPLE. The principle and command was to GO and the PRIZE AND PROMISE of the PRINCIPLE was ‘I WILL SHOW’. If you want to SEE what the LORD SEES, GO and HE WILL SHOW YOU ALL THINGS! HE will reveal all things to you. Are you ready to take Him at HIS WORD? Well, then ask me right now, “Show me Lord.”
SHOWING ME SEPARATION
Genesis 12
14 The Lord said to Abram AFTER LOT HAD DEPARTED FROM HIM, “Look (SEE) around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west. 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. 16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. 17 GO, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”
Notice how the Lord SHOWED Abraham what He PROMISED HIM, after Lot had DEPARTED FROM HIM. Sometimes there are people in our lives who are hindering us from SEEING what the Lord wants us to SEE. Why? Cause these people insist on you SEEING only what they SEE. They will contradict every revelation you get, they will insist on their own PERSPECTIVES being adopted by you. They will bombard you with conversation and talk about how they SEE THINGS. These people are a distraction to GOD SHOWING YOU. The issue just wasn’t Lot, the issue was Abraham’s whole family, for the Lord had said earlier to Abraham,
Genesis 12
12 The Lord had said to Abram, “GO FROM YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR PEOPLE and your FATHER’S HOUSEHOLD to the land I will SHOW YOU.
There is a SEASON OF SHOWING. God is waiting to SHOW YOU however, some of us are DISTRACTED WITH EVERYBODY ELSE SHOWING US. We don’t hear from God ourselves, but are inundated with people. The SECOND SECRET to the SHOWING is SEPARATE for a SEASON, until you are STRENGTHENED in your own SPIRIT, so that they can’t STEAL the SEED from your SPIRIT. In this SEASON, God wants to SHOW YOU, WHAT HE HAS PLANNED FOR YOU PERSONALLY!
Some of us have become ACCUSTOMED to LIVING VICARIOUSLY through what GOD IS SHOWING OTHERS. Uh-oh, I’m in trouble now! Yes, I said it. God has not called you to PARROT OTHER’S bible studies or sermons. God wants us to SEE for OURSELVES. We must step away from the CODEPENDENCY, that is so prevalent in our circles and STEP INTO THE SHOWING. This will require a SEASON OF SEPARATION from the wrong people AND A DRAWING NEAR to the LORD.
If you will receive this STRATEGY and SECRET and then apply it by FAITH, you will STEP into what Abraham STEPPED into. That was the SHOWING! Are you ready to go to the SHOW? Are you ready for God to SHOW YOU? Are you ready to SEPARATE, so that God will SHOW YOU? Then pray this prayer of faith with me right now, “Show me Lord”. Awesome! Let the showing begin! Look what He showed Abraham after he did the same thing.
THE SHOWING IS SUCCESSFUL!
Genesis 15
1 AFTER THIS, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: 4 Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir.” 5 He took him outside and said, “LOOK UP at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
AFTER THIS! AFTER THIS! AFTER THIS, the Word of the LORD CAME! CAME! CAME! Abraham didn’t have to go to the prophet! Abraham became the PROPHET. HALLELUJAH! This is what SEPARATES the men from the boys. SEPARATION will produce SEPARATION in you. If you will SEPARATE yourself, you will SEPARATE yourself!. Hallelujah! Abraham SEPARATED himself and received the WORD OF THE LORD, which SEPARATED him from anybody else on the planet. Abraham officially BECAME the BEARER of God’s PROMISES!
These PROMISES were for him, his entire family and the future of his family and those he loved! You see, ABRAHAM had a VISION. Say with me, right now, in BOLDNESS, “Show me Lord!”. Oh, he is hearing your prayer right now! He is leading you through this chapter, right now! He’s SETTING YOU UP, for what is to come. He is going to SHOW YOU. Why? Cause He PROMISED IT. The REWARD for those who DILIGENTLY SEEK the LORD, IS VISION. Say, “Show me Lord!”.
So, the Lord led Abraham OUTSIDE. Sometimes you gotta get outside the BOX, in order to RECEIVE the FULLNESS of God’s PROMISES. Why? If not, your PERSPECTIVE AND SIGHT will only be LIMITED TO THAT BOX. You SEE, the LORD is BIGGER THAN THE BOX. HE is not LIMITED TO THAT BOX. So HE is saying to you right now, STEP OUTSIDE the BOX of what you have been taught AND reconsider NOW, because HE HAS SOME THINGS HE WANTS TO SHOW YOU. Say with me now, “Show me Lord!” So when the WORD of the LORD COMES TO YOU, and He says “COME,” be like Peter and JUMP outside the BOX of conventional thinking and STEP INTO THE SHOWING, that is HIS VISION, and SEE WHAT HE SEES.
So the Lord took Abraham OUTSIDE THE BOX and said, “LOOK UP!” The Lord is saying to you this day, right now, STOP LOOKING at your CIRCUMSTANCES. Stop looking at the people around you, but BEGIN LOOKING up at HIM AND HIS PROMISES. Make a DECISION TO FOCUS on the GOODNESS OF GOD. Make a decision to START focusing on the BLESSINGS OF GOD, rather than the CURSES. The Lord is saying, ‘I want you to start LOOKING UP and NOT DOWN.’ This is why the Word says,
Philippians 4:8
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—MEDITATE ON THESE THINGS.
What you FOCUS on with your SIGHT, is what you will SEE and be filled with. What you SEE, ultimately is what you will SEE. We have to make a decision to start focusing on the PROMISES of God, until we RECEIVE THEM. Our FOCUS MUST BE ON HIM and WHAT HE HAS PROMISED. Focus is pinpointed SIGHT. I am not saying you won’t see in your peripheral everything else, but you must LOOK UP and REFOCUS on HIS GOODNESS, until it PRODUCES the POWER of God within you. Therefore the SECRET TO THE SHOWING IS LOOKING UP!
What did God show ABRAHAM when he LOOKED UP? He said, “look up at the sky and count the stars, … so shall your offspring be”. The Lord gave ABRAHAM a BIG VISION. He compared his offspring TO THE number of the STARS in the sky! You see, Abraham was focused on the IMPOTENCE of his own body, BUT GOD wanted him to REFOCUS on HIS PROMISE until the PROMISE produced the POWER in him to REPRODUCE! Do you see the POWER OF PROMISE? Do you see the POWER OF THE SHOWING? Then say with me, “Show me Lord!”.
The focus on the problem of reproduction, reproduced the problem. BUT the REFOCUS on the PROMISE REPRODUCED the PROMISE of REPRODUCTION.
SHOW ME BY SURETY!
Matthew 7:7
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find (BE SHOWN); knock and the door will be opened to you.
It’s the WILL of the FATHER that HE reveals Himself to you. HE wants you to know that HE IS WITH YOU and that HE CARES FOR YOU. HE WANTS you to KNOW that HE is close to you and that HE IS LOOKING OVER YOU. He is WATCHING OVER YOU! It’s HIS WILL that HE BE FOUND! HE wants a RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU and wants FELLOWSHIP with you.
If you “SEEK” by faith, HE WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU. HE PROMISES THIS TO YOU. This PROMISE is yours by FAITH. HE desires that you EXPERIENCE HIS LOVE AND POWER. HE DESIRES to show you UNSEARCHABLE THINGS. HE DESIRES to give you ACCESS TO HIS PRESENCE, THE HOLY SPIRIT. This is HIS WILL, that HE BE FOUND!
Now if you will get EXCITED about FINDING HIS PRESENCE HERE ON THIS EARTH and to TRULY KNOW HIM in a GREATER WAY, SEEK Him BY FAITH! SEEK HIM and HE will SHOW HIMSELF TO YOU. HE will SURELY SHOW HIMSELF TO YOU! For the Lord PROMISES,
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe…that he rewards (SHOWS HIMSELF) those who earnestly seek him.
Abraham found that the Lord was his VERY BIG REWARD! You will too. You will be REWARDED if you will EARNESTLY seek HIM. There is a degree to the EXPERIENCE with Him that you can have. The more EARNESTLY you SEEK HIM, the MORE you will SEE HIM AT WORK. Also, the MORE YOU will COMMUNE with HIM. It’s based on the DEMAND YOU put on God. He will SUPPLY THE DEMAND. Infact, look at the definition of SEEK,
1567a. ekzéteó
ekzéteó: to seek out, DEMAND, inquire
Transliteration: ekzéteó
Short Definition: charged
Notice that the word seek actually means, DEMAND in the Greek. That means, to the degree you are willing and HUNGRY for the PRESENCE of GOD, is the DEGREE you will EXPERIENCE HIM. Scripture says,
Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
The degree to your HUNGER, is the degree that you will be FILLED. Are you HUNGRY? Do you want to be FILLED with the HOLY SPIRIT? I do! I have been filled with others and EVEN MYSELF, but I want the HOLY SPIRIT TO FILL ME. I want to FIND THE LORD THIS DAY. I choose to SEEK AFTER THE LORD, so that HE can SHOW ME HIS GLORY. If that’s you too, then ask with me now, ‘Lord, SHOW ME YOUR SPIRIT AND FILL ME.‘ This must be asked in FAITH. For the bible says,
James 1:6
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt,
However, the choice is yours. If you will RESPOND WITH RADIOACTIVE FAITH and GO AFTER HIM, HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF known and will BLESS YOU. But you have to go after HIM and you have to not just SEEK HIM, but EARNESTLY SEEK HIM by FAITH. The KEY to the FULLNESS of FAITH is to FOCUS on His PROMISE, knowing that HE LOVES YOU and that HE WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU. Are ready to keep RECEIVING by FAITH, all that HE WILLS THAT YOU HAVE? Awesome! Let’s keep going.
SHOW ME YOUR POWER!
Exodus 9:16
But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might SHOW YOU MY POWER and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
It’s the WILL OF THE FATHER to SHOW YOU HIS POWER! HIS PLAN and PURPOSE for your life is that you might KNOW and have BEEN SHOWN HIS POWER. HE knows that you will IN TURN, PROCLAIM HIS name in all the earth. How could you KEEP IT A SECRET? I remember when I was first BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. I was telling everybody on the streets, in the grocery stores, and everyone that I could telling them that God WAS REAL, that HIS POWER SET ME FREE, and that I COULD FEEL HIS PRESENCE on me! I am still doing it today, THUS THIS BOOK!
HE DESIRES that you KNOW TOO. The end result, WILL BE that you will DECLARE with POWER His EXISTENCE and HIS GOODNESS. HE IS A GOOD GOD, not wanting any to PERISH. HE, JESUS, “came that you might be SAVED!” NOT condemned! HIS heart is that you be HEALED AND DELIVERED. He DESIRES TO SHOW YOU HIS POWER. Are you ready to receive the FULLNESS OF HIS POWER? Then pray with me, right now, and ask, ‘Lord, SHOW ME YOUR POWER and show you me YOUR ANOINTING. Show me LORD, I will tell them if you show me. I will tell them!’ Amen. If you prayed that, GET READY! You have officially entered the SHOWING! But wait… there’s more!
SHOW ME YOUR LOVE!
Exodus 20:6
but SHOWING LOVE to a thousand generations…
The FATHER loves to SHOW HIS LOVE! This is HIS WILL that you EXPERIENCE HIS LOVE AND GLORY.
Mark 1:11
And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
Before JESUS ever worked one miracle, the FATHER TOLD HIM THAT HE LOVED HIM! JESUS’ entire ministry was built upon these three words, “I LOVE YOU”. The Lord knew that JESUS’ RADIOACTIVE FAITH needed to WORK BY LOVE. LOVE IS THE POWER OF TRUST. Knowing that the FATHER loves you, IS PARAMOUNT to overcoming the OBSTACLES and attacks you will face to the OPPOSITION of the WILL OF GOD THROUGH YOU. Ultimately, the LORD WANTS TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU! In fact, Paul understood the Love of GOD. Let’s look at WHAT GOD SHOWED HIM,
Ephesians 3:18-20
18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know (BE SHOWN) this love that surpasses knowledge
The LOVE that the LORD has for you, is a LOVE that can’t be taught, but can only be EXPERIENCED and KNOWN BY EXAMPLE. This LOVE that the LORD wants to SHOW you, SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE. In other words, you probably wouldn’t believe it if somebody just told you. You must experience it. But the GOOD NEWS is, that’s it’s the WILL of the FATHER to SHOW YOU HIS LOVE!
This was Paul’s prayer and this is our PRAYER FOR YOU, right now. Better yet, this is our prayer with you, right now. Pray with me now, ‘Lord SHOW ME YOUR LOVE, the LOVE THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE, in Jesus Name.’ Amen. Expect the Lord to FILL YOU WITH HIS LOVE and to OVERWHELM your life with this LOVE. The FATHER loves and cares about you. The FATHER LOVES YOU and is looking out for you, ALWAYS. He’s even leading you, everyday. Let’s look at what scripture reveals.
SHOW ME WHICH WAY TO GO!
Deuteronomy 1:33
30. There you saw how the Lord your God CARRIED, as a father CARRIES his son, all the way until you reached this place.”
33 who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.
The LORD LOVES YOU and WILL SHOW YOU which way to go next. Yes, that’s right! He goes before you in your life and is planning your TOMORROW, right now. This is how much HE WILLS to SHOW YOU. He plans to show you what He found today. He has already gone into your tomorrow to SET YOU UP. He is already looking forward to today, being able to SHOW YOU tomorrow, what He has already PLANNED today. Say, SHOW ME LORD! Don’t believe me? Look at this,
John 16:13 KJV 2000
But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: HE WILL SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME.
Why will He SHOW YOU things to come? Because He has gone before you. He has prepared your next day! He is that good! He is planning your tomorrow. Let’s get so excited, that He can’t wait to tell you what He has planned! Sometimes He doesn’t wait until tomorrow.
SHOW ME YOUR GLORY!
Exodus 33:18
Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”
It’s the WILL of the FATHER to SHOW you HIS GLORY. He PROMISED it in the OLD and HE PROMISED an even GREATER PORTION in the new. In the Old, the Glory of the Lord filled the man-made temple. In the New Testament, the Glory of the Lord fills the temple, that is you and me, we are the temple! Look what happened,
2 Chronicles 7:1-3
7 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 The priests could not enter the temple of the Lord because THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED IT.
This is the WILL OF THE FATHER. It’s HIS WILL THAT YOU BE FILLED with HIS GLORY! You SEE, everything CONCEALED in the Old testament has been REVEALED in the New Testament. New Testament scripture reveals that we are that TEMPLE. We are the temple of God! Let’s look at that scripture,
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Do you not know that your bodies are TEMPLES of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You see, we are the TEMPLES OF GOD and just like the Lord filled the temple of Solomon, in the Old Covenant, under the New Covenant, HE WILL FILL YOU. The Manifest Glory of the Lord, will fill you to the overflow if you ask and if you BELIEVE. Do you want a greater portion of the Holy Spirit? Do you want the Lord to SHOW YOU HIS GLORY? Then let’s ask HIM. “Lord fill us with your Glory, until we can’t stand in your Presence. Lord, SHOW US your Glory in Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.” If you asked, you shall receive! The Lord wills that you CARRY and be SHOWN His Glory, that is IN YOU! AMEN.
SHOW ME YOUR FAITHFULNESS!
2 Samuel 22:26
“To the faithful you SHOW YOURSELF faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
If you are being faithful to the Lord and are doing all you know to do, you can GUARANTEE that the Lord will honor your faithfulness and SHOW HIMSELF FAITHFUL TO YOU. This means, HE WILL NOT LET YOU GO! HE will go all out to SHOW you HIS FAITHFULNESS. This is not just what HE does, but it’s who HE IS! HE is FAITHFUL and will help you, protect you, forgive you and work with you. HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU! For the LORD IS a winner and cannot fail. He will keep you. Don’t believe me? That’s ok, just believe scripture. For the Holy Spirit, through Paul says,
1 Corinthians 1:8-9
8 He will ALSO KEEP YOU FIRM TO THE END, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 GOD IS FAITHFUL, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
There you go! The LORD is FAITHFUL. Oh yes! HE WILL KEEP YOU FIRM TO THE END! Not just for a while, BUT TO THE END. There is no giving up in the Lord. HE does not GIVE UP ON HIS CHILDREN. HE FIGHTS TO the end for THOSE whom HE HAS CALLED. He fights for you. Yes, YOU! He LOVES YOU and will not give up on you. HE is not a quitter! He is not like us. HE is incapable of quitting on you. He IS FAITHFUL! You might be thinking, “But I keep sinning!” The Lord knows your struggle and HE HAS YOU COVERED. Let’s look at scripture,
1 John 1:9
9 If we confess our sins, he is FAITHFUL and just AND WILL forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
You see that? God is FAITHFUL to FORGIVE and PURIFY. That means if you have a stronghold or iniquity that is winning the battle, if you would confess this to the Lord in humility asking for HIS HELP, HE IS FAITHFUL AND WILL! HE WILL! HE WILL forgive and HE WILL PURIFY. You will never be able to purify yourself, but THE ONE WHO PURIFIES IS FAITHFUL AND HE WILL PURIFY YOU.
You might even be struggling right now with a particular sin, but just KNOW YOUR CLEANSING IS COMING! YOUR POWER IS COMING! The manifestation of your FORGIVENESS IS COMING! Why? Because God is FAITHFUL and HE WILL SURELY DO IT! HE WILL PURIFY YOU. HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! He is FAITHFUL and HE KEEPS HIS PROMISES! So just FOCUS on the FACT that God is FAITHFUL and your FAITH will pull on HIS FAITHFULNESS. Your healing is coming now. Receive it!
Some might wonder why we have to confess. Well, confession is an act of humility. Proud people don’t confess or ask because they don’t need God’s help. But humility will ask, pray, and confess. You SEE, scripture says,
James 4:6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
Humility will unlock the FAVOR AND GRACE OF GOD. If you will CONFESS, HE WILL! HE IS FAITHFUL! The cleansing, deliverance and purification WILL COME. Your HEALING WILL APPEAR! But just KNOW that when it does, it’s because THE LORD IS FAITHFUL and DESIRES to show you how FAITHFUL HE IS. HE WILL KEEP YOU TO THE END! HE WILL DELIVER YOU FROM EVERY EVIL ATTACK! That’s right! Did you know that? He will go all the way to the end with you. For the Holy Spirit witnessed through Paul,
2 Timothy 4:18 The Lord WILL RESCUE ME from every evil attack AND WILL BRING me SAFELY to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
GOD’S FAITHFULNESS DOES NOT END! HE WILL GO ALL THE WAY WITH YOU! HE WILL not LEAVE YOU, nor FORSAKE YOU, for our God, the God whom we serve, IS FAITHFUL! HE IS FOR YOU and NOT AGAINST YOU. HE gets GLORY FROM YOUR SUCCESS, as it’s a MANIFESTATION OF HIS FAITHFULNESS. So pray with me now, ‘Lord SHOW ME YOUR FAITHFULNESS! Lord, I believe you are FAITHFUL and I stand on this now, EXPECTING to see your solution come! I expect DELIVERANCE, HEALING, PURIFICATION, and FORGIVENESS! For Lord, I now know you are FAITHFUL! Thank you Lord!’
SHOW ME YOUR ACCEPTANCE!
Acts 15:8
God, who knows the heart, SHOW THAT HE ACCEPTED them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us.
The FACT that you have been sealed with the HOLY SPIRIT and you have believed that Jesus is the ONE, concludes as PROOF POSITIVE that the LORD HAS ACCEPTED YOU! You are ACCEPTED IN HIM! The Lord GIVES THE HOLY SPIRIT to those whom HE HAS ACCEPTED. To those who BELIEVE by FAITH! Then the HOLY SPIRIT witnesses that we are children of God. For the Word says,
New International Version
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
You see, the Lord wants to SHOW YOU that you are HIS. He will not leave you feeling like an ORPHAN, but wants to SHOW YOU that you are ACCEPTED. AND HE WILL! You know it by HIS SPIRIT. It’s the LORD’S WILL, THAT you KNOW that you are ACCEPTED. The Lord Jesus specifically said,
John 14:18
16 And I will ask the Father, and HE WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER advocate to you and be with you forever—… 18 I will not leave you as orphans;
You SEE, the Lord wants you to be established, KNOWING that you are ACCEPTED, ROOTED IN LOVE, protected, AND THAT HE IS LOOKING OUT FOR YOU AND WATCHING OVER YOU. This is HIS WILL for you. So let’s pray, ‘Lord, I want to feel your SPIRIT, YOUR PRESENCE, to know that you love me and that you have accepted me. Lord, give me a witness in my spirit, that you are WITH ME and that I am yours! Lord, bless me with a GREATER REVELATION of your ACCEPTANCE and SHOW ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME! In Jesus, Mighty Name, Amen!’
SHOW MERCY!
1 Timothy 1:13
Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
It’s the WILL OF THE LORD to SHOW US MERCY. This is HIS WILL TOWARDS US. HE desires that we turn around and become saved, believe and be made whole. MERCY gives HIM GLORY! HE GETS GLORY from HIS MERCY. HIS intent and heart is that we be saved, not condemned. HE DESIRES THAT WE PLACE OUR FAITH IN HIM AND LIVE TO GLORIFY HIM. Jesus said it best,
John 3:17
For God DID NOT send HIS SON into the world to condemn the world, BUT TO SAVE the world THROUGH HIM.
It’s the intention and HEART OF GOD, to save the WORLD, not to condemn it. It’s HIS HEART and DESIRE TO SHOW MERCY over JUDGEMENT. HE WANTS TO SHOW YOU HIS MERCY! He wants to use you as a SHOWCASE piece of how PATIENT AND KIND HE is to those WHO NEED HIS LOVE and acceptance the MOST! Paul understood this the most, as he wrote,
1 Timothy 1:16
But for that very reason I was SHOWN MERCY so that in me, the WORST OF SINNERS, Christ Jesus might display his immense PATIENCE as an example for those who would BELIEVE IN HIM and RECEIVE eternal life.
Who would want to receive somebody they thought was out to get them? Nobody! Who would find it hard to love someone who wanted to kill and hurt them? Everybody! This is why it’s important for us to KNOW BY FAITH, that GOD IS OUT TO BLESS us, not curse us. He wants to SAVE US, not condemn us. It’s HIS DESIRE TO SHOW US HIS MERCY.
Let’s pray, ‘Lord SHOW ME YOUR MERCY! Lord be good to me, even if I have missed it or have failed to trust you. Lord, be patient with me and please strive with me as I learn your ways. Lord, I believe you are merciful and you have good will towards me. Even my family. So right now LORD, by faith, I receive your Mercy. Amen.’ Thank you Lord for hearing and answering our prayers! In Jesus Name! Amen.
SHOW ME WHAT IS YET TO COME
John 16:13
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, HE WILL GUIDE YOU into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and HE WILL SHOW YOU WHAT IS YET TO COME.
It’s the WILL OF THE FATHER to SHOW YOU WHAT IS TO COME. Yes, that is THE FUTURE about your life. Why? Because HE KNOWS that if HE SHOWS YOU what is to come, you will hopefully and joyfully look forward to it. This will EMPOWER YOU to make it through! In fact, the Lord loves to tell us what is to come. He can’t wait to tell us what is to come before it does. HE DOES THIS TO LIFT YOUR FAITH to RADIOACTIVE LEVELS, so that you actually receive that for which HE PROMISES. Look at what Jesus did,
Acts 1:4 “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
You see, Jesus didn’t’ have to tell them. But He did in fact, repeat Himself 2 verses later to lift the FAITH OF THOSE WHO WERE TO RECEIVE. In fact, HIM TELLING THEM was part of them receiving it. They may have never received, if HE HADN’T SHOWN THEM FIRST. This is the WILL OF THE FATHER, that HE SHOWS YOU WHAT IS TO COME THROUGH THE SPIRIT. You might be saying, ‘Well how could it be the Spirit, if it was Jesus?’ Well I am glad you asked. Let’s look 2 verses up from this one,
Acts 1:2
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, to the apostles he had chosen.
It was the Holy Spirit who was speaking AND DOING THE SHOWING, even from and through the RESURRECTED JESUS. Even the resurrected Jesus was being SHOWN and was SHOWING US, what was to come. This is HIS WILL, that HE DOESN’T LEAVE us wondering or wandering. HE DESIRES that we know! HE IS OUR FRIEND and FRIENDS don’t keep secrets from FRIENDS. Let’s go on.
Amos 3:7
7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing, without revealing his plan, to his servants the prophets.
If you are in COVENANT by faith with the LORD, HE WILL ALWAYS reveal HIS PLANS to HIS PROPHETS. HE did it for Abraham about Sodom and Gomorrah and HE’LL do it for you! He also called Abraham HIS FRIEND. That’s because FRIENDS DON’T KEEP SECRETS FROM FRIENDS. It’s HIS DESIRE to SHOW YOU HIS SECRETS both now, and in the future. Say, ‘SHOW ME LORD!’ For the Holy Spirit said it through Jeremiah the best,
Jeremiah 33:3
3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and will show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
It’s the WILL OF THE FATHER TO SHOW YOU GREAT AND AWESOME THINGS BY HIS SPIRIT! This is HIS WILL for you and for me. Otherwise, HE WOULDN’T HAVE ENCOURAGED US TO ASK. So what will our response to all this be?
SHOW ME – RESPONSE
Genesis 12
7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
Will you choose with me today, to be like Abraham and SEEK HIM WHO HAS THE POWER TO SHOW? For the Lord said, “Seek and you shall FIND.” In other words, it will BE SHOWN TO YOU. Will you build an altar to the Lord, find time and a place to SEEK what HE HAS to SHOW? It is the WILL OF THE FATHER to SHOW YOU ALL THINGS. He desires to SHOW YOU HIS HEART, HIS WILL, HIS WORD and all that HE IS. HE IS WAITING to fellowship with you today! Amen.
