ChristianityThe right to succeed Every Christian that has ever come forth by the power of redemption throughthe sacrifice of Christ has the right and authority to succeed in the new life. Godsword was given to produce an expected end of fruitfulness for each individualregardless of back ground, color, nationality or education. The word of God does notknow the difference between color or nationality. The word does not differentiatebetween child or adult male or female black white brown or red. The word is simply aseed to produce after its own kind for anyone who will hear receive and allow itsgrowth in their life. I make these statements to eliminate the idea or reasoning thatwould allow the excuses of any individuals that believe their circumstances orbackground would disqualify them from a full and enjoyable harvest from Godsword. Let me give you a scripture that is worthy of your time of meditation andacceptance.2Co 5:17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;behold, all things are become new. Take a few minutes and speak those words out loud so that you can hear themfrom your own mouth. You should say over your life each day until it becomes a truthto you that you are a new creature and all things are becoming new for you. You arenot going to have a repeat of your family history or your own personal history buthave started something new as a new creation in Christ. You now have the right seedsto sow for a future and blessed life. You are right now a new creature with abilitiesand strengths deposited within you through your new birth as a child of God. So excuse number one that must be eliminated is: I can not succeed with Godsword because of “who I am or where I come from”. Pastor Cliff Carr

The Obvious Truths! I believe that as you continue to see the obvious truths that are in the passages of Godsword that you to will become persuaded in your faith for healing.Luk 9:38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, lookupon my son: for he is mine only child.39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foamethagain, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perversegeneration, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare [him]. And Jesus rebukedthe unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.Just because one person prayer seemed unsuccessful does not mean the next will be. [v40]Jesus revealed that it did not have to be a particular person just some one of faith. [v41]Devils will try to stop faith through appearing difficult or great. [v42]Spiritual temper tantrums thrown by the Devil will not stop true faith. [v42]People are searching for those who have faith. [v40]Spirits often accompany disease. [v42]

Worshipping With Wisdom Our corporate times of worship with the Lord are precious. They should beintimate, as well as powerful. They should be imparting. There should be an exchangeof substance in these times together. We can really spend a lot of time trying to discoverwho we are as kingdom participants in corporate times of worship. Every believer is onthis journey of discovery. It's not as though you just arrive, having skipped the fight offaith and periods of transformation.2 Corinthians 3:16-18 \"but whenever a man turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all,with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformedinto the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.Romans 12:2 \"and do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by therenewing of your mind\". All believers should be transforming. All believers should be going from glory toglory, growing more and more into the image of Christ. True growth comes when weare able to see from Gods perspective. John 17 says that we are no longer of thisworld. Ephesians 2 says that God has raised us up, seating us in heavenly places inChrist Jesus. We must understand that's who we are and be willing to function from thisrealm. We live in the earthly realm, but function and act as from the heavenly realm.The tendency is to just stay earthy and not acknowledge or cooperate with our heavenlycalling. When we are seated in heavenly places, we are able to gain Gods perspectiveand will for us and the world. The Lord is always willing to reveal, as in the mirror, thenext glory. He is always saying \"this is who you are, this is your destiny, be the reflectionof my glory now, continue to grow into the image of my son\". From glory to glory. Believers shouldn't allow themselves to grow to a place of being stagnant or stale. It'sunscriptural to be dormant. Romans 12:1 \"I urge you therefore, by the mercies of God,to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your

spiritual service of worship.\" This is part of the job description of the believer. The sameway a mail carrier delivers the mail. The same way a house painter paints a house. Anelectrician wires. A plumber plumbs. A writer writes. A believer must take on the jobdescription of presenting their body clean and blameless before the Lord. They mustpresent their body as though slaughtered , yet alive. Galatians 2:20, \"it's not I but Christthat lives within me\". Colossians 1:27, \"Christ in us is the hope of glory\".We should all asks ourselves if we are just settling for a story, or are we hoping forglory? Are we revealing glory? Are we paddling or just floating? Are we pressing or justpretending? How patternistic it has become for the church to stumble in and out of thepurpose and function that the Lord has established in our gathering times. Without a doubt there are numerous things that attempt to block the believer frombeing an active participant in the Kingdom of Heaven through true worship. The oneprohibitor I would call the biggest is what we call the flesh. The flesh can be a powerfuland loud voice. So much suppression can come through the avenue of the flesh. This iswhere distractions come from, impatience lingers and unbridled longings attempt tokeep the believer focused on everything except the right thing. All of these are mountingan attack to keep the believers expression of love for God and people suppressed. Thebride being held at bay from the bridegroom through the power of suggestion. Galatians 5:24, \"now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with itspassions and desires\". Romans 8:12, \"we should not live according to the flesh\". It oftenfeels right when the flesh speaks, but an uncrucified flesh will always distract with thegoal of keeping the believer from unity with the body and fellowship with the Lord. If thisphase is left unattended it will quickly move into intimidation. Along with intimidationcomes condemnation, meant to push the believer down when all the time the Lord istrying to pull them up if they would or could only hear His voice. But the screaming voiceof the undisciplined flesh drowns out the still small voice of the Lord. An uncrucifiedflesh will always suppress the believer in true worship. The result is isolation, or an evenworse result would be division in the body. A suppressed believer, at best, stumblesaround in the Kingdom. Abandoned into intimacy with the body of the true church is the ultimate expressionand evidence of a crucified flesh. When we are participating with each other incorporate worship there are only two avenues of expression. It's either flesh or spirit.These do not cooperate or get along with each other because they have separateagendas. The flesh agenda is all about you and your fake kingdom in this temporaryworld. Spirit agenda is all about the Lord and His Kingdom that we are a part of. Spiritagenda is of eternal value. These two war against each other. Both have a voice. Bothhave an intent. Both have an expression. Both require fuel. The one we feed mostspeaks the loudest. We know that there is an actual Kingdom that will be set up on this earth when the

Lord comes. But what we need to realize is that we are the house that Lord is buildingnow (1 Peter 2:5). And He said the Kingdom is within the believer (Luke 17:21). ThatKingdom in each of us needs to be awakened and cultivated. It cannot be ignored if weare going to be fruitful upon this earth. As active participants in the corporate worship and function of God in His Kingdomwe must learn to deal with the flesh. But we must understand that the unruly flesh didn'tjust appear all of sudden as if out of the blue. It was developed and grown. We growwhat we choose to sow ourselves to, and it doesn't really even have to be one particularthing. At its base, the natural tendency of the fallen nature of man is to pursue personalsurvival and self sustaining activities. It then grows from there to personal pleasures. Alllong the Lord says that He is giver and sustainer of life. He is the provider. He is theguide. Psalm 23 is a wonderful expression of the heart of God towards us, but we mustcooperate and allow the Lord to be our shepherd. The flesh has a voice that must be silenced. The most effective way to do this isthrough the act of obedience. Being a pursuer of God is taking upon a mantle of greatresponsibility. God requires obedience. He always has. For some reason the Americanchurch translates the word \"obedience\" into the word \"attendance\". As if just showing upto church is all the Lord is requiring. Believers should be obedient to feeding on theword of God. Obedient to the instruction of the Lord. It is through these avenues faithcomes. Whatever is not of faith is sin. Faith is the substance that is gained throughrelational and active obedience. No faith, no substance. Absence of faith is thepresence of sin, better known as missing the mark. Obedience is a lifestyle. It's not justa time to time decision we make. Obedience sets the tone of the walk of the believer.Preceding obedience is instruction. Otherwise what would you be obedient to if therewas no instruction? Instruction is from God. It requires hearing. It's the same story asfrom the beginning in Genesis and follows to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Israeland so on. Hear and obey. Hear and obey. Hear and obey. This means we have topurposely position ourselves underneath the voice of the Lord. We have to give our earsto Him on purpose. This is obedience. There are acts of obedience that are a result oftime spent with open ears in the word before the Lord. But I am specifically speakingabout dedicating oneself to Him, first. This is feeding the spirit. On the contrary, aclosed ear builds up the flesh. Obedience is the more correct, expedient and productiveway for the believer to quiet the flesh. It is by far more growth intuitive than the secondoption which is sacrifice. I praise God for sacrifice. It is a magnificent showing of the mercy of our God. But asacrifice is substitute for the actual. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Once for all. He isnot a continual sacrifice over and over yet He is still the available lamb that takes awaythe sin of the world. With that being said, any continual effort to suppress the flesh is asacrifice. It is allowing a substitutionary thought, word or action to take the place of thesuggestion of the flesh that is being anti spirit. This is something we all deal with in

corporate worship most of the time. Some more than others have to deal withwandering thoughts and feelings of no motivation. Others get into fault finding whilesome are just distracting. Some refuse to cooperate with the body, have little patience,no endurance in the spirit, keep checking their phone, watching the time, etc. The list ispretty lengthy. As long as we are in these unglorified bodies we will have to overcomethe suggestions of the flesh through sacrifice. But the regularity of it should decrease aswe increase in obedience. Our obedience should be continually growing, resulting inthe shrinking of our moments of sacrifice. Our \"want to's\" should be overcoming our\"don't want to's\". It is pretty evident that there is a flesh church and a spirit church. It is only the spiritchurch that will have the strength to endure for they have sown to the word and spiritand have paid the price for the oil of the Lord. They've pursued the Lord and deniedthemselves in midst of pressures to pursue self gratification and pleasures. We are in thisworld but not of it scripture says. It is a joy to fellowship with the Lord. It is a joy to hearHim speak. It is a joy to be part of His body. His vessel upon the earth. Perhaps there are far too many congregations that are settling too often for worshipentertainment. Appealing to the flesh with their smoke and lights. Dimming the room sothe individuals are not held accountable to abandoning themselves before the Lord andHis body.Feed your flesh and you will abandon the Lord and His body.Feed your spirit and you will abandon yourself before the Lord and His body.

Learning to listen to God in the day and age Prosperity is received when wewe live in can be quite complicated as there are so acknowledge the word of the Spiritmany people calling themselves prophets. I to the churches. In other wordsbelieve that it is essential for every believer to every word of God has the abilitydetermine who God has called to be prophets to to prosper us in this world. I havethem. First what does a prophet do? They noticed that those who I consider toencourage lift up and instruct the body. To allow be prophets to the churches at thissomeone to speak this way into your life can time in the realms of financialallow someone to determine how you mature and prosperity have been calling us to adevelop in discernment as well as willingness to higher place in God financially!advance with God. Let me start with saying this There are of course those whoprophets are not sent by God to eliminate a dispute them as always. This ispersons responsibility to hear God for themselves. why you must determine who GodAt the same time Prophets are used in a great way has set as prophets to the churchesto further an individual in Gods will. You may be to reveal different areas of hissaying I thought we were studying prosperity? We will.are, and prophets play an important part to thisarea of life. Prophets are used to deliver a word It has always amazed mefrom heaven for the hour that you live in. I would that those who dispute thesay that a little study in this area would help you prophetic word of wealth andto understand the differences between the prosperity are not prophets to theprophetic word to you personally and the church or even believe inprophetic word to the churches. prosperity as a message. There are of course those who are repeats and In the book of Revelations we are told that imitators but true prophets have aletters were written to the churches and that we certain character about them thatshould hear what the Spirit is saying to the sets them apart from the others.churches! If we would accept theRev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what growth of God and leave the fleshthe Spirit saith unto the churches; we would recognize Gods true voice. Jhn 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. Jhn 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

The voice of the flesh will quickly accept advancement and words of blessing but isunable to actually produce it. The flesh and carnal man turns away from Gods will as quicklyas it attempts to turn toward Gods will. Jesus said it well in: Jhn 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words thatI speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. So then it is time to get rid of the voice of the flesh. Stop listening with your carnal fleshlyears and start hearing with your born again spirit what God is saying to you. God is alwayssaying things of greatness because he is God and God is great. If you and I are going to prosperwe must be willing to come into a higher place with God . A higher thought process, a higherbelief, and a higher faith. This is where hearing the true prophetic word of God can take you.A prophetic word is filled with faith at a higher level of truth by revelation of the word if youare willing to hear it. Being told that where we are in life is sometimes beneath Gods will ismany times rejected. We do not mind telling ourselves this but, can sometimes get offended atothers attempt to point it out in our life. We even feel our faith is threatened. Spiritual pride isa deafening force against us. We must be willing to hear what God has to say to us or we mightclose our ears to the prosperity God is sending. There were many people that did not hear whatJesus was saying by the Spirit.Mar 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?Three Key Statements:1} The true prophets are calling us to a higher place in God financially.2} It is time to get rid of the voice of the flesh.3} If we are going to prosper we must be willing to come into a higher place with God.
