How is your life working for ya?

Are you just making it through this life here on earth? Is your goal to get through life the best way you can and hope you go to heaven. Are you sure you will go to heaven? Let's find the answers to these questions in this lesson.

Many believe that they must work their way into heaven when Romans 10:9 specifically and simply states what it takes to be saved...to walk with Jesus, to get to heaven. Once you “confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you WILL be saved. That is what is required to be saved, nothing more, nothing less.

So now you want to know what the rest of the Word of God is given to us for. Don't we have to abide by ALL of the Word to be saved you ask? To be saved: See Romans 10:9. The complete Word is given to us to live by in order to enjoy THIS beautiful place that we live in right now to it's fullest while winning souls for the Kingdom. God did not create beautiful trees, oceans, white sandy beaches, beautiful animals, diverse sceneries for us to ignore and behave as if these beautiful natural wonders do not exist. Why would we have little regard for the amazing things He created for this earth? Why remain within our four walls and not observe the awesomeness of His creation.

We can have a certain kind of life based on how we obey and utilize His Word, thus allowing His Word to work for us to achieve things we can enjoy right now! Mark 11:22-24 is for your now-life! Do you want to be married, desire a child, desire a particular position in the workplace, desire a nice home, car, clothing? What if it is your heart's desire to do His work? How important then would it be to have what we need or desire? It would be of the utmost importance IF your blessings enable you to bless others and promote the kingdom of God. It would be of the utmost importance for God to see that you have your heart's desire IF you appropriate your blessing to promote the kingdom of God.

It is therefore imperative that people understand how to make this confession work for them and their circumstances.  For instance where a mate is concerned: "In the Name of Jesus I speak to being single and I declare my single days are over removed and cast into the sea.  I believe I receive the right spouse for me now in Jesus name. Amen." Then utilizing Mark 11:22-24 can be realized.

So how is your life working for ya? Are you one of many who unfortunately believe that they have been "stricken" with various sicknesses and diseases that they must endure with grace and humility and thankfulness. They believe that their sickness is the cross they have to bear. What? Matthew 8:16 & 17 speaks to this matter with absolute clarity. "When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick." He healed ALL, ALL, ALL who were sick, not those he felt were worthy because they had done the work...been active in the church...served on all the committees, sang in the choir etc. He healed ALL who were sick..."that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses." Why believers do we think that was a temporary act. Does the Word indicate that it was temporary? No. The Word says that He TOOK (it is done already) our infirmities and BORE (it is done already) our sicknesses." That means we don't have to carry them anymore. If we choose to stay sick, not confess what He has to say on the matter of healing, then we can certainly stay sick. We can have whatsoever we say....abundance or lack, sickness or health, spiritual death or eternal life.

Let's wake up believers. Let us lift our heads up and see the light. Ephesians 4:17 & 18 states: “This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, (the fullness of life with God) because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.” Don't allow yourself to be deceived and walk around with a darkened understanding. If you have not been operating with the principles highlighted in this faith lesson...how's that working for ya?

Be blessed believers. Walk in the fullness of the blessing which is Jesus Christ!
