I want to expand on what we explored yesterday about us being called to realize the ASSETS God has made available to us.
Asset:
- Item of value
- Advantage
- Resource
- Something useful in an effort to defeat an enemy
This list contains just a few of the many, many assets God has made available to us. I pray you will continue to study this out for yourself even more.
I am highlighting some of them that will help change our thinking, so that we, as His Bride, can see just how much He has invested in us.
I believe this year will be a year we not only know these assets, but we begin to take advantage of them, and our lives will affect others for eternity.
So, here are more assets for you to absorb and apply:
2 Peter 1:4 NKJV
…by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
He has already provided great and precious promises. His divine nature is pure—no corruption and no perversion.
He has given us GREAT and precious promises that we have complete access to. Whatever we need–WE HAVE IT! We just need to possess the promises by faith.
- One of our greatest ASSETS is having every need met by Him.
Philippians 4:19 KJV
But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Supply: to furnish, diffuse, influence, satisfy, execute (an office), finish (a period or task), accomplish, fill (up), perfect
We know the Lord has been dealing with us on every level for over a year to fully trust and lean into Him. He wants our faith to be in Him, not in our own abilities, and not in what others can supply for us.
To do this, we must REALIZE that He has already supplied EVERYTHING, not according to the world’s ability, but by our GOD!
God has promised prosperity–and it has already been provided. He has promised you joy and peace, and He has already provided them.
Declare this right now:
My GOD has furnished me with every asset I will ever need through JESUS! What He has given me will allow me to understand His authority over my life, and over the assignments that He has given me. I will be perfectly able to enjoy ALL HE has supplied me with, in my spirit, in my soul and in my body.
THANK YOU GOD!
- HEALING is another asset we have!
1 Peter 2:24 NKJV
…who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
Remember when God revealed to us that Salvation and Healing were concurrent?
They occurred at the same time! When we receive salvation, we simultaneously have access to being changed from the inside out. We are simultaneously free from sin, AND free from sickness and disease, AND free from torment with all it tries to bring!
Oh my goodness! I cry out to God that we would all have this realization in its fullness!
We can run this race to the end without pain. I pray the revelation of this is healing your body right now! I also pray that you go find someone to pray for right now so they can experience the love of God through His healing power!
When Jesus died on the cross, He said, “It is finished.” (John 19:30)
It is! Glory to His name.
- Another one of the greatest ASSETS we must recognize and take advantage of is this beautiful truth of Holy Spirit:
John 14:25 NKJV
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
God supplied Jesus to bring us back to Himself. How amazing the price He was willing to pay!
But He didn’t stop there! He sent us the Holy Spirit—the third person of the Trinity to live IN us and operate THROUGH us.
What will He teach us? ALL things! You know what ALL means, right? ALL!
Take that in for a moment.
Now, He won’t just teach us.
- He is the Teacher that reveals Jesus to us.
- He reveals God’s heart to us.
- He makes the promises come alive to us.
- He leads us and guides us.
- He gives us the ability to love others.
- He teaches us how to engage with Heaven’s instructions for our lives.
And that is the “short” list!
We are living in a time frame of God’s divine providence for us.
We must realize that His provision for us to walk by the Spirit is the most important asset that we have. It is HE who reveals the deep things of God and ENABLES us to do the greater things He has designed for this very time.
He brought us forth for such a time as this. And He has a divine design for us to accomplish great things through partnering with Him with the power of the Holy Ghost!
We must not take this lightly; we must be deeply aware of the greatness within each of us.
We are going OUT of our comfort zones, and into the Comforter, who will lead us and guide us. He will empower us and utilize us, to show forth the Glory of our God on the earth.
This may seem like the worst of times, but it is the greatest of times! Because God has been wooing us to Himself and to a different level, the Holy Spirit knows exactly how to deal with us. He knows how to heal us and to surge through us for the benefit of others.
In our obedience, we will find what He has done TO us as He moves THROUGH us.
We are beginning to understand the bigger picture as He has designed it. We are beginning to be more interested in what GOD is doing than what WE want or what WE are trying to build.
The ASSET of the Holy Spirit living in us is revolutionary!
Romans 8:28 NKJV
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
ALL things work together for US because we are called according to HIS PURPOSE.
Romans 8:29 NKJV
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
But we have the Spirit that conforms us into Jesus’ image. Oh how my heart cries for this, for all of us!
Romans 8:30 NKJV
Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Let me share verse 30 in the Passion Translation for a little clarity of what that means:
Romans 8:30 TPT
Having determined our destiny ahead of time, He called us to Himself and transferred His perfect righteousness to everyone He called. And those who possess His perfect righteousness He co-glorified with His Son.
He has designed us before the foundation of the world, so we can possess what Jesus possesses.
He is a Son. He knows His Father’s heart. He moves in power. He moves with wisdom. He moves with compassion. He delivers. He transforms. He has defeated the enemy and He lives in complete awareness of the Father’s will.
Do you understand?
1 John 4:17 KJV
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.
At this point, I am overwhelmed.
Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for Jesus! Thank You for the Holy Spirit! Thank You for providing everything we need to live for You and to be fulfilled in our own lives. You are our substance. You are our God, our Father, and what an amazing Father You are! I receive the benefit package that came with Your Son and Your precious Holy Spirit. Please help me to take full advantage of all You have provided and let me know You and the wonder of Your love. God, this year, I desire to be utilized to reach and to change lives and to always give all the glory and the honor back to You.
My Lord, my God, my Savior, my All in All, I worship You now with all that I am and all that I have!
Come, and let me complete the desires of Your heart. I worship You.
