So if you're trying to sanctify your way into Heaven, forget it. God's got your number. In fact, he's probably gonna want to know how you could possibly be so selfish about getting yourself into Heaven, etc.
He loves us in spite of whether we pay our tithes and give our offerings like we should. He loves us whether we are full of the devil, or full of the Holy Spirit. He has unconditional love for us. When you think of hesed agape love, it passes everything else. As we grow in relationships, not only in our households but abroad, we need to try and practice it and get into a place where we practice this love walk. Jesus said, “By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, that ye have love one for another.”
One revelation is that the Word is not meant just to read to yourself but to declare it out loud over yourself, over your loved ones and friends and over your problems. Your victory is found in the Word. Healing, deliverance, restoration, prosperity and all blessings are found in the Word. Taking a passage and making it into a prayer and declaration is where power and authority as His child is found.
Jesus told us that when it comes to God and being spiritual, that the spirit of God is already within us. He told us not to go on a mission to find God, because when we open our heart to Him, we already possess Him. Just as in the day of Pentecost, when we wait on God, He sends us the tools and the power we need to carry out His mission. In fact, 2 Peter 1:3 tells us, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”
Personally, natural disasters aren’t necessarily created by God or the Devil either. I believe that God is capable, but I don’t believe He is responsible for every natural disaster in history. Hurricanes strike Christian’s houses as much as they do atheist’s houses. Christians died in the World trade center as much as atheists did. Christians are injured in car accidents as much as atheists are.
