Summary:
God’s promises are timeless and can be appropriated and walked in as we truly believe them. We must not be bluffed out by Satan’s lie that says; “Hath God said?” Christ gave us a perfect provision and there is now no more delay! We live on the belief and appropriation of His Word.
Show Notes:

His provision is perfect and we can claim it now and receive it forever!
Quotes:
-
It would be so easy for us to miss God because our faith does not anticipate this timeless quality of fulfillment. God does not intend for things to take as long as they do – not at this period in time.
-
How long will it take? Does not have to take any time at all, depending upon the faith and the prayers of the saints.
-
The kingdom of God is now. That’s the key.
-
Every day we’re appropriating what He’s done, what He’s fulfilled. We appropriate it. And as we appropriate it, we’re reaching into more.
-
Satan will go, oh yeah, you can definitely have that sometime in the future. It’s easy to accept that, yeah, I believe it, and yeah, someday I’m gonna have it…
-
No more delay. Especially when we are believing for the appropriation of a perfect provision of Christ that is clearly stated in the scriptures.
-
There’s a tendency to to put things off. I believe by faith I’ve got it. Well then why are you putting it off? Why don’t you appropriate it and voice that you have it? And why don’t you walk in it? We will voice things and create it by voicing it, and then there’s no more delay.
-
I want to win this race, not come in second, or third
-
We live on the belief and the appropriation to make this Word work.
-
It’s done in me. That’s appropriation because you no longer have that lie in your ear that says, hath God said.
-
By one offering, He has accomplished it. The provision is perfect. Something that we can claim just one time, and we will receive it for all time.
References:
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.
For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.
Takeaway:
Christ is our perfect provision and the Father’s promises are timeless. We declare and stand on His Word and put no confidence in our flesh. We live each day in His faith and appropriate His provision to walk out His promises today.
Transcript
Daniel:
It would be so easy for us to miss God because our faith does not anticipate this timeless quality of fulfillment. God does not intend for things to take as long as they do - not at this period in time. We believe for impasse to be broken, we believe for things to come forth. There shall be delay no longer. We are going to press into every one of them.
Ron:
How long will it take? Does not have to take any time at all, depending upon the faith and the prayers of the saints.
Christine:
There's no process. It's, it's the Word of the Lord created by the Spirit of the Lord.
Dale:
For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk on them. What about the kingdom? The kingdom of God is now. That's the key. The kingdom of God is now.
Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming. He answered them and said, the kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed, nor will they say, look, here it is. There it is for behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst. It's appropriation of the kingdom of God now.
Let's look in the Word and see what God really lays before us. Open your Bible and read these. Read John 16, 14, and 15 and whatever scripture you can, but make it in an experience.
Sherry:
There are many things that God has done for His people that we have not claimed. I know that you have provided the way I, I don't deny it. I know that it's complete. I think there's a lot of grace.
Debbie:
Every day we're appropriating what He's done, what He's fulfilled. We appropriate it. And as we appropriate it, we're reaching into more. That's why every day can be new because as long as we are opening up and relating to Him - as we open up our hearts and relate to 'Him, and we cry out for more, it's expandable. It becomes greater, greater to us as the Lord reveals it. God completes it in us.
Linda:
Satan will go, oh yeah, you can definitely have that sometime in the future. It's easy to accept that, yeah, I believe it, and yeah, someday I'm gonna have it, but I'm, no, I have it because of, it was a provision for me, a perfect provision because Christ did the perfect work, the work of the cross, that Christ accomplished. It's His accomplishment, His cross. Our cross is just to lay a hold of His perfect provision.
Ron:
You can claim something, you read it. Do I believe that Christ died for me? Do I believe it was a perfect provision? Yes, I do. The spirit realm comes in all the time and says, yeah, that's yours, someday.
Dale:
No more delay. Especially when we are believing for the appropriation of a perfect provision of Christ that is clearly stated in the scriptures. Our perfection is already assured - it is there in the scriptures. By one sacrifice He has forever perfected them that are sanctified. If we have faith for it, faith means we believe it.
There's a tendency to to put things off. I believe by faith I've got it. Well then why are you putting it off? Why don't you appropriate it and voice that you have it? And why don't you walk in it? We will voice things and create it by voicing it, and then there's no more delay. Especially when we are believing for the appropriation of a perfect provision of Christ. I don't want any more hindrance. I want to find out what it is that hinders us, and I want to get rid down to the basic faith. I want to win this race, not come in second, or third. First Corinthians 9 24. Do you not know that those who run in a race often run but only one receives the prize? Run it in such a way that you may win. And that's where we look to our heart. I appropriated this, I've apply this. We live on the belief and the appropriation to make this Word work.
Jan:
It's done in me. That's appropriation because you no longer have that lie in your ear that says, hath God said.
Linda:
By one offering, He has accomplished it. The provision is perfect. Something that we can claim just one time, and we will receive it for all time.
Dale:
We are the true circumcision who worship God in the Spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus. Put no confidence in the flesh. In Christ, it all has its yes, and we say amen to that.
Are we or are we not…? Hath God said? We take that Faith for all the promises now as being valid in the present tense from the onset of our believing them. Mary said, “Let it be to me according to Your Word.” We say, “Yes. Now.”
We are His workmanship Who is in us to be it and do it within His will and Way as He works it in us. With joy we keep coming and going every day just to be in His presence.
It is certainly true that as we come into the realm of Spirit, and begin to walk with God in our own spirits, that the time realm and all timelines disappear. God lives in the eternal Now. We are learning to live there as well.
All things are indeed given, for in Christ all the promises are yes and amen, and in Him we have been made complete. It remains for us to fully experience the completeness. Our appropriation will never exceed our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is our relationship with Him that enables our spirits to appropriate. Our spirits cannot appropriate, regardless of our desire, beyond our relationship with the Lord. Our spirits must be prepared by the Holy Spirit. As we know, a lot goes into that, namely, the separating of soul and spirit within us. It is not a process as the world would define it. How quickly we appropriate is commensurate with our desire to know the Lord. Our spirits will appropriate with no effort according to the realm we are abiding in with the Lord. We could say, like the story of Enoch, “I just want everything at once, I’m not going through any process.” Let’s quickly read the passages about Enoch.
Genesis 5
22 Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.
23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.
24 Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
Enoch was not, for God took Him. Twice in these verses it says “Enoch walked with God.” It is our walk and hunger for the Lord Jesus that enables our spirits to appropriate. Above all else, we appropriate Him.
