Trying to BE something you already ARE ?

Who does God say you are ?.

(according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;

Abram believed the LORD.

RESPONSE:

Aside from the Bible's claim, is there any proof that Abraham actually existed? If so, of what significance are his views on God?

How many years after Abram's birth did the legend about him start?

Love it.

If we knew who we are in this - the New Covenant - we would be consumed with the presence of His spirit to claim the land on which we walk. Speaking life in everything we touch or undertake, and making intersession for every man. Love dominates in this Kingdom, and every law is fulfilled by loving Him and our fellow man.

Healing and restoration are abundant - we have to see that we do not live under the law of sin and death, but of life in Christ Jesus! Speak the word of God over your life!

If THIS gospel would be preached over the whole earth, the end would come - the end of man's hold on the gospel.

What will it take for the true gospel to be preached? How much longer will they(our beloved church leaders) have us live under the law of sin and death? I personally believe planet earth is about to get an intervention of some sorts, without it, this gospel of death will continue to prevail for probably another thousand or two years.

the institutional church has blinded the masses. Watch how many of them enter their beloved buildings on a Sunday morning and the streams will flow from your eyes at the thought that they are in spiritual bondage.

It's a question I ponder as well (me - guilty of conforming to the rest of the herd). God ultimately intervenes in the destiny of His people, for His plan of firstfruits must be accomplished.

Jesus was described as the only begotten Son before His work at Calvary, but the firstborn of many after His resurrection - where does that leave us, His people? Given as heirs with Christ, what is our place?

Thank you for sharing, Little Elmer God bless and peace.

The Kingdom is soooo closer than we think.
