Allow Lord to take me into His arms
Allow Lord to lavish His love for me
Allow Lord love all my fear away
Allow Lord love me into wholeness, into a place of assurance and security. I am never more secure than in the arms of my Father.
Don't be rush, enjoy His presence, allow Lord to take His time to love on me
Know beyond any doubt, Jesus have the final say and final word in my life
I am the beloved of God
Only 1 attitude to give to the Lord => give cheerfully, (in Greek, hilariously)

Rock kidz testimony card => Psalm 106:1
Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Experience grace and Jesus finished work
God is so faithful
encountering real, loving and faithful Jesus
Today, He wants to share with me on this journey me going from need
Seeing need fulfilled and come to fullness
have a problem, see myself from problem to answer and solution and seeing God's hands moved
have a problem, full of anxiety, frustration, worry (so consume of it)
Heard that Pastor Mark delivered from debt, have debt and go for in person service. ended up not listening and feel frustrated thinking 'whats the solution to the problem?' 'my problem, my problem'. All the most anointing just fly pass through
So focus on the issue, fears, lack, on the impossibility. I want a specific and immediate answer. What Lord wants to tell me, I missed it totally
Like God, where? how come? where is the good news?
Someone in the Bible also like that, Genesis 15:1-5
1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
2 But Abram said, “Lord God, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
3 Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!”
4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.”
5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”
Lord knew Abram have problem/need, he wanted a child and Sara is barren and both of them are advanced in years
There's no point trying, he is so consume of his problem. Abram not interested
God came with answer => Do not be afraid
how impossible, Abram is old
so consume with fear and lack, Lord says: "Do not be afraid. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward. I will reward and provide for you”
Genesis 15:2 Abram focus his need => "what will You give me, seeing I go childless"
Lord assured him first, Lord is gracious
Lord came to so something, doing in my midst today
"Lord, tell me, give me the answer"
Many times, Lord want to do 1 thing : change what I see on the inside
Abram saw himself childless
If I see myself wrongly, the Lord is pouring and wants to give but I am not able to receive
Today, Lord wants to change what I am seeing
Count => in Hebrew is Saphar (recount)
Lord recounting to him the story of salvation and story of redemption
Look at the star, start with constellation is virgo; woman with child (Jesus)
Ends of constellation is libra; Lion of Judah who reigns
He changed Abram all to see from inner, He showed Abram the glorious plan of salvation and redemption
Today, the Lord is painting picture of redemption in my inner man
I see from inside, I can receive from outside
What am I seeing today?
Focus on my problem
=> see myself alone (no hope, lonely, lost, don't know what to do)
=> See natural happenings
=> See worse result
Focus on faith pictures
=> See God with me (Beautiful pictures of Jesus is with me, my ever present help in my time of need)
=> See supernatural happenings
=> See myself living in the promises of God (All promises of God is Yes and Amen)
Numerous of angels to serve me, the son of salvation
See what God is doing in my need, lack and situation
I can see it
I focus on faith pictures, I see supernatural and see myself living in promises of God and all promises is Yes and Amen
5 loaves 2 fishes, multiplied and feed 5000
300 in armies and enemies have 10,000
Change what I see
Genesis 6:5 KJV
"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
"imagination" in Genesis 6:5 is negative
imagination => yetser (root word from yasar)
Time of Noah, whole earth is full of evil
horrible, evil control the world
Allow Lord to come in, healing takes place
Give Jesus all the praise
Don't allow evil imagination to enter my heart (you are lousy/hopeless) - thoughts that drive people to mental breakdown
Lord have given me the powerful key => at night, in the dark I will see so much light in my heart and dwelling
imagination:
Good => Good will come forth
evil - bad come out
At Noah, in the world, but it started in the heart, started evil imagination. whatever is dark and evil and problem, challenging around them.
When light imagination of God that comes to my heart, that will swallow up all my darkness around me
Genesis 2:7
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."
"formed" => yetser, yasar
When imagination enters into my heart, it have the power to create
Say in my heart and imagine => God is opening the windows above me pouring out blessings so great that I have no room enough to contain
Allow the imagination to form in my heart and it will create and it will happen in my life
Only Jesus, only hearing and meditate, keep seeing => As Jesus is, so am I. He is far above, so am I
*Lord says: "You meditate and I will demonstrate what you meditate"
Jesus is my righteousness
What am I going through today? Family situation, health condition
Just keep seeing and seeing in my inner man, what God's word says about me and my situation and my condition
Matthew 12:34-35
34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
When I see imagination filled with the light of God's word, out of my abundance my north starts to speak up what's inside me
Guard my heart above all things
Keep seeing Him
Keep speaking Keep speaking Keep speaking
I will bring forth favor, wisdom, all good things will come forth to me
Mark 11:23
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Have problem/situation, I don't have to persuade God, I just need to persuade my heart
Speak to my problem/situation
1 Samuel 30 David at Ziklag, enemy came and burn down Ziklag and take away all women and children. They wept till no more tears. People wanted to stone David
Going through time like that, speak to myself
1 Samuel 30:6
David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
Hear condemnation/ no hope, don't sit down and accept it. I speak and reject them all
I rise up, speak to my heart and problem, I am encourage in the Lord, "I am His beloved in whom He is well pleased, all grace abounds towards me, I am the head and not the tail, I am above and not beneath"
Romans 4:20-25
20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,
24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
Romans 4:21 Abraham fully persuaded in his heart
God's promises, He was able to perform
God is already persuaded from need to fullness, a place of problems to a place of answer/solution
Miracle power of God
Hebrews 13:5-6 AMP
5 Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you[nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you[assuredly not]!”
6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say,
Walk out not consume with my situation, frustration and fear
Walk out confidently and say => "Lord is my helper in time of need, I will not be afraid"
What can man do to me?
As I keep seeing and allowing light into imagination of my heart, as I keep speaking out of abundance of my heart. I will declare => The Lord is my helper, I will see a place of my victory
God of impossible
God is so good
If I have a need:
John 2:1-12
wine ran out at Cana, have need but not serious, not a critical need but the Lord provided, He turn water into wine
If I have a need today, Lord will turn water into wine
John 4:5-30
Samaritan woman have need, no-one care enough, Lord came for her, restored her and she became evangelist. No more hiding and she goes around to trumpet her praise
John 11:1-44
Lazarus have need, he couldn't tell anyone, I have problem so big, Lord says => "I am the resurrection and the life". Begin to see Him as the resurrection and the life
He is the Lord in whom I can trust. He loved me with His life
Have need bring before the Lord, see Him take my need
See from inner man, come and fill and answer and provide for that need
He looks beyond every fault, He reaches out and He is providing, filling, touching, healing. Receive it right now
He have time for me
I am more loved than I know
Sense of rejection, "In the name of Jesus, command to be remove and cast it to the sea" declared right now, Spirit of Sonship, "I am loved"
I am altogether lovely
I am apple of His eyes
Lord says => "I will make you the head and not the tail, I will make you above and not beneath, everything your hands touch, I will bless"
Don't know what the future holds, and worry
Lord says => "I have hold your future, I have gone ahead, I am Alpha and Omega, I am your beginning, I will make sure everything in between and all the way to the end, I have blessed"
Thank you Jesus!
Amen!
