Possessing the Gates
by Pastor Marie
God gave you a present in Christ- you have to receive it, unwrap it, read the directions and use it well.
“They that wait for Yahweh’s grace will receive His divine power.” Isaiah 40:31
“So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.” (Romans 11:5 NIV) … for God’s grace empowers his chosen remnant. [a small believing minority]
I find the real Christian life to be an exciting adventure and journey into MORE.
WE NEED TO CONTEND.
CONTEND- WRESTLE, BATTLE, CLAIM SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE. STRUGGLE TO SURMOUNT. [overcome (a difficulty or obstacle). conquer-triumph over- vanquish- stand or be placed on top of.
We need to contend with faith and authority
“Through faith and patience, we inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12
WE NEED TO BREAKTHROUGH THE LIES AND BONDAGES FOR OUR LIVES SO THAT WE CAN LIVE IN PEACE AND PROSPERITY AND HAVE OUR NEEDS MET BY GOD HIMSELF.
6 TRUTHS that we can stand on as launching pads to start from to assure us victory in every battle. If we enter His GATES WITH THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE, HUMBLY WORSHIPPING THE KING OF GLORY… we can launch our victory from there.
1. KNOW Your identity In Christ
I Peter 2:9 – Romans 8:17 -Ephesians 2:6 –
Ephesians 1:18-19 – flooded with light, called, and an advertisement of His immense power as it works through us.
Isaiah 62:12 – Revelation 19:14 – You are His Bridal army wearing His garments of praise, humility, righteousness, salvation, and love.
2. KNOW the love and character of Father God
This builds a well of trust as we continue to grow and mature. it gets deeper- a well of salvation
2 Tim 1:12 Know Whom you have believed.
Eph 1:17 – God has promised that He will give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.
3. USE the keys God has given you.
Matthew 16:18-19 – the church is built on the Truth of Who He is – and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. You have the keys of the kingdom – to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in heaven and to release on earth that which is released in heaven. [bind or loose]We are not defensive -but OFFENSIVE
4. Know that your weapons are supernatural- not natural –
2 Corinthians 10:4-6 – Weapons of our warfare are mighty in God energized with divine power. We can effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide and demolish every fantasy that opposes God.
THERE IS A POWER, SO OVERWHELMING, ALL OF CREATION, BOWS TO ITS NAME.
He came to change every outcome,
lift every head,
win every battle,
and raise the dead.] Rita Springer
5. A significant part of the Abrahamic blessing that we step into as people of faith is possessing the gate of our enemies.
Genesis 22:16-17
6. LAST…OUR Faith is what we exercise to possess our gates.
Faith comes through what we have heard. Romans 10:17
“Through faith and patience, we inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12
FAITH IS THE KEY [faith in GOD]
I pray for an impartation of faith, fresh vision with new eyes – new grace and an enlarged vision with heavens’ perspective.
Again, receive a personal awakening in the knowledge of your keys and tools given by God and learn how to use them from the Holy Spirit. Enter the kingdom and walk in empowered living.
RISE UP, GO IN,
AND POSSESS YOUR GATES
INTO YOUR GOD GIVEN DESTINY.
