RIGHTEOUSNESS

Are you enrolled in Faith University??!?

When we choose to take responsibility for what God has called us to do. We go through a season of development and growth. In this season, we learn how to trust God's plan and depend on Him to assist us in our growth. When we choose to trust God. He enrolls us into Faith University, Faith University  is where we establish our foundation in God and learn biblical principles and benefits of trusting God's Will and plan for our lives.  

In our first class, Faith foundation 101:  Becoming A new creation (2 Corinthians 5:Seventeen) We learn how to establish a personal relationship with God, how to be an individualized expression of Him. In this class we learn how to build a solid foundation in God through the most important part, establishing our own personal relationship with God. This is where God challenges our knowledge and truths about Him and teaches us who He truly is. He also removes and strips us down revealing who the world has told us we are and then He teaches us who He has made us to be. We learn our strengths and weaknesses, how to live in expectations of God's promises. He shows us our limitations and how to set boundaries and standards for our lives that can  improve our relationships with others.   We learn how He has made us in His image and likeness and  how He has given us power and authority to lead our lives. We learn about how He created us to be individualized expressions of Him with gifts and talents personalized for each of us.  He shows us all of the benefits we receive through having a personal relationship with Him. When we make a commitment to go through the process of development. We start to grow into the person God has created us to be.  

       During this class,  there will be times when God gives us random test and pop quizzes to test our knowledge of how we have applied His Word  to our lives.  ( God wants us to be doers of The Word and not just hearers | James 1:Twenty-two)  He will use people and circumstances  to test us and help strengthen our faith.  (SN:He will remove anything and/ or anyone that will prolong us from our destiny.)  This is how we move to different levels of faith. And if we do not  pass the test, no worries.  The course will be repeated until wisdom is gained from it.  God uses all things. (Romans 8:Twenty-eight)

(During test time: The teacher (God) is silent during the test but the enemy will try and take your focus and tempt you with the wrong answers. Stay focused on God  and speak what He has taught you. That will encourage and strengthen you during the test.) 

  

God equipps who He calls

The Bible has many stories of people who God called and equipped to do His will. He used people who were afraid, doubted, made excuses and even ran away. He also used people who's past was not squeaky  clean. From Adam- the 1st man who lack faith and sinned against God, to Paul - a person who killed Christians in the name of The Law (religion).  God was very aware of their self impose limitations and past mistakes and decisions. But guess what...... He still chose them anyway. God was not asking them to be perfect to do His Will or waiting for them to get their life together before He could use them. He called them were they were and developed and equipped them to do His Will.  All He wanted was their faith and trust to believe that He would do as He'd promised in exchange for Him to be glorified.

God equipped Adam even though he lacked faith and sinned in the garden
God equipped Abraham by giving him the faith to step out and trust him even though the was a liar
God equipped Moses to believe in himself to lead the Israelites  even though he was a murderer
God equipped David to be king even though he was an adulator and had her husband  killed
God equipped Jesus with the power and authority to teach and heal others even though he ask God to remove this cup from me before going to the cross.
God equipped Paul by using his past for his purpose even though he murder Christians
God equipped Jonah to save the people of Nineveh even though he ran away and went the other direction.

Even with their pasts mistakes, God used them anyway. Even with excuses, doubt and lack of faith, God used them anyway. God was not asking them to be perfect, He wanted them to be available so that  He could equip  and develop them to do His Will. He feels the same way about you too.

 

Having a personal relationship with God is allowing God to change you and not you trying to change God.

What is a stronghold?

A stronghold is anything that you choose to defend instead of examine and reflect on. A stronghold can be an attitude, behavior, past hurts, unresolved issues, unforgiveness, bitterness. Strongholds are things that keep us from being our best.

Trusting God

I came to the point were I was tired and depressed at my old job.  I wanted something different but just did not know how to go about receiving it.  So I made the decision  to trust God to supply my needs and I QUIT my job! Now, I have never quit anything in my life.  I just deal with things with a though that they will get better, but this was a new level of trust for me and my relationship with God.  I had been off for some weeks and faithing my way through it all. Bills started to  stack up and on-going car problems  tried to stop our progress and  steal my husband and I joy.  But it did not stop us from praising God and praying to Him. I continued to daily bible study and  I watched TBN and The Hillsong Channel daily as I prayed for God to show us a way.  With an expectation of change, I  filled out job application as a full time job knowing with a little bit of patience things will soon get better. Then I heard a Word from God through Bishop T.D Jakes and I decided to sow a seed into the Word that he had spoken on that Sunday.  Within 2 weeks later I was offered a job that  I wanted  and they offered me more money than I was making at my old job. The way I feel right now is priceless.  I have learned how to trust God through what I do not understand and that has change my life and strengthen my relationship with God. 😢😊😇😍
