Summary:
God has created a people who believe His promises and are turning to Him everyday. The scriptures are filled with what has been done, what He is doing now and will do to bring forth His Kingdom on this earth. By our believing His promises as reality we enter His rest as co-creators.
Show Notes:
-
Voicing the promises of God out loud can be an action of your faith. Your struggle is for the faith to lay hold upon His willingness and His provision for you.
-
If you believe something, then you will voice it and walk it out.
-
We believe in the process that God has us in to become something in Him.
-
Every day we get up looking to Him, turning to Him.
-
As we get caught up in the river of His blessing, we turn to Him with a greater intensity of our focus.
-
It’s not what we do that is the greater works that Christ spoke of, but what we are becoming in Him that is the greater works.
-
This is all about believing and resting in Him. Knowing He will accomplish what He has started within us.
Quotes:
- I believe in voicing the scriptures voicing these promises out loud.
- When you believe that you have received it from the Lord, then you can begin to claim it.
- And if you believe something, you’re going to voice it. And you’re going to walk it out.
- Once that you proclaim it, once you say that you have it, nothing can come and take it away from you.
- And so it’s it’s really up to your faith. Can you be talked out of it? Will you back down because you don’t get it right away?
- …to become something requires faith.
- Are you a person who gets up in the morning and say, Lord, let’s go to work.
- When you get up in the morning, and God’s blessing is just rolling over you like water, you’re caught in a river. That’s the time that we turn with greater intensity to Him.
- Now’s the time to cash in on every Word that God has spoken from the beginning, and walk in them. The provision is there.
- We fail to realize that the greater works are right here in the midst of us right here right now.
- It’s more about resting. It’s more about believing it’s more about the knowing that He’s leading us and all of the things that He’s promised us.

Take Away:
Today the greater works of God are being wrought within a people as they simply voice their belief in His promises and rest knowing that He is willing and able to do exceeding more than they can ask or think. When you believe you have received it from the Lord then you can begin to claim it. He is standing there with His hand’s stretched out saying” Come on, come up higher.”

I believe in voicing the scriptures voicing these promises out loud." It is the Lord Jesus Christ, who having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God waiting from that time onward, until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet, for by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. We also read that "He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by Him seeing that He ever lived, every liveth, to make intercession for them. Your struggle is for the faith, to lay hold upon His willingness and His provision for you.

When you believe that you have received it from the Lord, then you can begin to claim it. The word faith being belief, if you believe that, if you believe it, you can claim it. That's where so much of Christianity is, that's where we're, that's where so many people are. There's a fear of believing it. And if you believe something, you're going to voice it. And you're going to walk it out. Because what happens when you believe something and you voice something, you've taken the first step, and there's no turning back. Once that you proclaim it, once you say that you have it, nothing can come and take it away from you. We can go forward as fast as we want to, because He's standing there with His hand outreached to say, Come on, come up higher. I've can't find any scriptures that says that we gotta have time and grade before we can manifest anything from God.
Mike
Enoch breaks the barrier on that, Elijah to. They reached into something from the future and laid hold of it and experienced it.
Dale
Look at Hebrews 11, the men of faith. They saw this day, they saw it! Could we see tomorrow?
Ron
I begin to ask things from the Lord, even even natural things. I'm starting to ask Him for things. I believe if I just keep asking, because the Word says just ask. You know, "all things pertain to life and godliness." That doesn't put a lot of limitations on anything that you can ask from the Lord. And so it's it's really up to your faith. Can you be talked out of it? Will you back down because you don't get it right away? Or whatever, will come to test you in that.
Mike
"You have not because you asked Not."
Ron
"Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence, for by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust." We have everything, all things according to King James Version that pertain to life and godliness. That's pretty big. You should be looking, I think, every moment every second to be able to do something, or say something that expresses faith and appropriation of faith.
Mike
But to become something requires faith. You have to believe that we're in this process, and by that fact, we become. The hope and the desire is we know that "God is not a man that He should lie." What He says in His Word is true. And if we stick with it, it's ours.
Dale
Are you a person who gets up in the morning and say, Lord, let's go to work. There's things I've got to turn away from. The only way I'm going to turn away from them is when You put me into this place. You would think by now that we would understand that our daily walk is turning. We live a life that every day, we've positioned ourselves and by our free will; let all that I do reflect the Father. How do I do that? I turn to Him in every situation. I get up in the morning and look out the window, I'm looking for Him. Where are you at God? I'm turning to You. When you get up in the morning, and God's blessing is just rolling over you like water, you're caught in a river. That's the time that we turn with greater intensity to Him. We're having fewer and fewer situations, to where we're turning to Him because we got a problem. Even if it's ourselves. We're turning to Him, because we want more of Him. Now's the time to cash in on every Word that God has spoken from the beginning, and walk in them. The provision is there. It's there to you to take, if you're willing to say, I believe it. Let Him lead you. Let Him give you more. All those things are positive.
Ron
"Truly, truly I say to you, he you believes in Me the works that I do, shall he do also, and greater works than these shall we do because I go to the Father and whatever you ask, whatever, you ask in My name that will I do that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it." Do you believe that? Are you doing the work that He did? Are you doing greater works? We have to believe this.
Ken
We don't know how to define the greater works. We look at healing s, deliverance, all kinds of different changes. We fail to realize that the greater works are right here in the midst of us right here right now. The greater works is we're hearing what the Father is speaking. The greater works is you hear His voice. Jesus said I only do the things I hear My Father speaking. Faith is not a hard route; it's very simple. You simply open the door when He says, "I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and sup with him and he with Me." It's a matter of entering into His rest. It's a matter of allowing Him to do the work. We have to believe that He has given us these things. It's more about resting. It's more about believing it's more about the knowing that He's leading us and all of the things that He's promised us.
