Like Never Before

        In I Corinthians Chapter 2, we’re gonna be dealing with verse 5, 9 and 10.  And it says, “ 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.  9But as it is written, eyes have not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him.  10But God has revealed unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”  And I want to let you know that God is searching out your faith to see where you stand.  Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of man. What you’re believing God for should not be in what man desires, in man’s ability, nor what that man is saying that you are capable of having or doing.  God is trying to push you to another dimension of faith and in this level and this dimension, this level of faith, God is saying that you can’t stand in what somebody else says.  You can’t stand in their opinion.  You can’t stand in the intellect of somebody else.  You can’t stand in the wisdom of somebody else’s experience.  You’re going to have to stand in the fact that you’re trusting and you’re simply believing God, even if it never happened before.  Maybe it’s never even manifested before.  Maybe you never had to believe God to this level before, but I’m telling you even in this dark season that there are some things that God is about to do before the end of the year that, God is about to do what hasn’t been done before.  We’ve never had to make a request of this magnitude to God before.  We’ve never before been at this place of desperation.  We’ve never been to this place of brokenness, this place of despair.  Yes, 2010 has been a good, but it hasn’t always been a good place.  And so even in this year, God is provoking us to move to trust him, not on the wisdom of the world, but in His wisdom.

        We find in the book of Corinthians he said, “but in the power of God.”  There is a power that comes, forth out of your praise.  There is a power that comes forth out of your innate ability to believe and trust God and simply take God at His word.  There is a power that’s going to come out of you declaring and decreeing that Jesus is Lord, that Jesus is working it out, that God is fixing it, that God is healing it.  Believe God for it all, whether it’s Him healing you, mending your heart, giving you financial breakthrough and change, showing you that He’s able to do it, putting your family back together, whether God has opened up the doors of employment, building your business, or starting the ministry.  You’re gonna see the power of God manifested before the year is out.  I come to tell you in this 11th month and in this 11th hour that God is about to move.  I come to encourage you, the body of Christ.  Know that God is sitting on the throne.  He’s not slack concerning His promise.  He that promised is faithful and he’s gonna do it.  I’m telling you.  He said that with this faith, you are going to have to have faith to make man sand in awe at how you can believe in God to such a great magnitude.  You’re going to have to have the faith to causes people to be in amazement.  You’re going to have to have the faith to cause people to be like, “Oh my God.  I can’t believe that you even believe in God like that.”  You’re going to have to have unusual faith, the faith that causes people’s hairs on the back of their neck to stand up to attention.  You’re going to have to have the faith to make people stall and have to turn around and look at you and have you repeat yourself again.  You’re going to have to have the faith that in this hour, in this season, to cause people to say, “Wow!  The fact that you believe in God, I’m going to provoke God because I’m not even believing in God for nothing that big.”  You’re going to provoke somebody to walk by faith just in your ability to hear that you believe in God for something at that level.  Somebody who has been believing God for less is going to be motivated and triggered to believe God just by your ability to take God at His word.

        The Bible goes on to say, “But as it is written.”  You’ve got to know that there’s documentation about what God is going to do.  God said that he’s not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent.  God said your request is not too big and that He won’t change what He said He’s going to do for you.  You have not got a request that’s too big that’ll make God say, “You know what?  I’m gonna have to take that back because maybe that’s too much, that’s too big.  What you require is too much.”  We have to get in a place that we have to give the power and the glory to God because that’s saying to God, “I really believe that you’re able to do this.”  Beyond your sight, believe in that which is written.  Maybe you’re the first one in the family that God wants to show that kind of a financial breakthrough.  Maybe you will be the first one in the family to have a healthy marriage. Maybe you will be the first one in the family to buy the first house.  Maybe you will be the first one in the family to have your own business.  Maybe you are going to be the first one in the family to declare the preached word of God. Maybe you are the first who is going to operate in the spirit of God, in the gifts of the Spirit. But what He is saying is that it has not changed. There is not anyone who will be able to document and say oh that is not anything, I’ve seen that before.  Cause you have not seen a move of God like this before. You have not seen this level of power in my ablility to believe God and trust Him and take Him at His word before.  You have not seen me walk in such confidence as that which I now walk in! You have never seen me pray out of desperation like I’m praying now. You have not seen me give God praise like I’m giving Him now. I want to say to you just as you are, right as you read this blog, I want you to take out a moment and have a D.E.A.P. moment. Go ahead and Drop Everything And give God Praise. Not for what He has done, but give Him the praise for what He is about to do.

        Give God a praise because you know the power of God is about to be manifested in your life. Give God praise because you are excited. Give God a praise as a sign of your enthusiasm for what you believe that He is about to do.  Not only have you not seen it, but it goes to the next dimension cause our next element of faith is hearing. He said well, nor have you heard. You haven’t even heard about this.  This is going to be a testimony that no one can say they’ve even heard before. This won’t be a repeat of what you said last year.  This won’t be a repeat of what you said five years ago.  This thing that God is about to do, no one can say that they’ve heard you say that God was going to do it like this before.  You have said it before that God is going to do some things, but now you’ve got the details. You know what God is going to do.  God is going to heal my heart, my mind, and my spirit. You are able to say God is going to bring my whole family out. You are going to hear them say that God healed the marriage, that God gave the breakthrough.  You are going to be able to say that I operated in the gift of miracles.  I operated in prophecy.  I operated in wisdom. I operated in the gift of interpretation.  You are going to be able to have the details of what God is doing that you never had before.  I just hear the Lord saying that the mystery of what He is about to do will be revealed because up until now the mystery wasn’t even there. Just know that God is going to take it to the next level. He said that now you are going to have the details.  It’s not going to be a strange phenomenon about the power of God, but you are going to be able to say that He that promised is faithful and He is going to do it.  You are going to be able to tell not just some days or one day, but the very day that God is going to move for you.  He is going to begin to give such precise details, such precise insight into your life until what He is about to do. Why? because guess what now, God calls you His friend.  Now, God is revealing to you His secrets. Now, God can trust you.  Why?  Because the power of your belief is going to cause your faith to cause a manifestation in your life. So yes, you have never heard me talk with this level of confidence before. You haven’t heard me declare and decree before.  You ain’t heard me press through and pray like that before.  You have never heard my cries of worship like that before.  Why?  You’ve never heard me confess about what I believe that God is going to do in my life before. Why?  Because my faith now has got power connected to it and it’s going to cause a manifestation of the word and the power of God to be fully manifested in my life.

        Look at what he says, “neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared.”  This thing here does not have feeling on what God is going to do.  Because you have never had this feeling before.  Because you believed it in your head before and tried to get it in your heart.  It’s never gotten in your heart before.  Now you feel like God is about to do it.  It’s not an emotional thing, but now God is comforting your faith with a feeling. Now you are able to say not only do I believe it, but I feel what I believe. Good God Almighty, I feel like hollering!  I feel like God is going to move for me.  I feel joy even before it comes. I feel the peace of God that He promised me.  I feel, I feel, I feel my faith coming alive!  Even though I’ve been saying it in my mind, now I’m feeling it in my heart.  My heart is getting merry because it believes God.  My heart is getting excited because it believes God.  My heart, it is moving, it is provoking me to trust God and embrace God’s word.  The reason why is because His word is in my heart now.  And because His word is in my heart, now my heart is able to conceive God’s word.  My heart has adjusted to God speaking to it now.  So, I’m excited about this adjustment. I’m excited about what God is doing.  I’m excited about this move because it’s never been there before.  I had the word, I’ve read it, it’s been in my mouth, it’s been in my mind, but it has never gotten down in my heart. Because it got down in my heart, I feel different. Because it’s in my heart, I’m going to speak differently.  Because it’s in my heart, I’m going to feel different about the power of God. It’s never entered into my heart the things that God has prepared for me, my God.  I wish somebody while they read will scream out, “For me!”  Because this time, it isn’t just for your mother it’s for you.  Even if He heals your mother, He will heal your mother for you.  Even if He heals your daddy, it’s for you. Even if He makes a way for the children, it’s for you. This thing that God is doing is because you decided to take God at His word, because you decided to operate in faith.  It’s because you decided that now you are going to trust God with all of your heart and that you’re not going to lean to your own understanding, but you are going to trust Him. Because you allowed His word to penetrate your heart, now He is going to penetrate your life. Good God Almighty, because you allowed His word to penetrate your heart now, He is penetrating your spirit and you will never be the same again.
