DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?

Christ Church Headline News Christ Believers Are Frontrunner's For God's Kingdom Blessings! IN ONE AND AS ONE IN CHRIST!!! Have you ever gotten discouraged or frustrated by the apparent lack and need in your life Church? We've all been told our blessing is coming. We've gotten excited; preachers have promised us it’s coming. But friends, let’s face it – there are more people who don't receive what they've prayed for than those who do. What’s the problem? Greedy and Self interest Preachers! Many Believers have prayed, tried, and cried because they haven't seen any results. They have just given up on expecting much from God. Others blindly expect the moon but have no idea that their Spiritual leaders and ministers have as much to do with receiving from God in His Church Kingdom! I Corinthians 3:9 says we are co-workers with Him! Our relationships with God should be like any other good relationship – it’s a partnership. You have a part, and Preachers has a par in Christ Jesus. We can be sure that God will keep His part of the deal since He is unchanging, never fails to keep His promises, and He is not a respecter of persons (which means He has no favorites and God wants His Preachers to share the Kingdom blessings with His children!). So, if there is a failure in selfish Preachers and Leaders, What we fail to understand is that almost all of His promises are conditional. We will receive what He has for us – when His Ministers and Preachers do their part in sharing His Blessings and His Bread. Results depend on some choices we make and some actions we take. I want to help you put an end to the frustration of unanswered prayer and the disappointment of un -received promises from God. What did God do in the Old Testament did His not take care of All the children of Israel? & What did Jesus do when the four and five thousand was hungry, did He send them away hungry? I often hear of ministers who are called upon to give comfort and encouragement to people who are hurting; and they simply say, “Everything is going to be all right.” and “Everything’s going to get better.” I don't know about you – but that sort of response is not really helpful. I want to know when! When will things get better? I want to know how! HOW will things change? What has to happen? The Biblical Answer is Do What Real True Spiritual And Loving Leaders And Preachers Do. SHARE, GIVE, BLESS!!! I want to get to the point where I can say: “Things were not right – and I was in trouble, but when I learned how to receive from God, I received and everything changed!” Let’s get some answers! What is the preachers and ministers part? (This will work every time.) 1. Believe that receiving your full inheritance from God is as important to Him as it is to preachers. In Acts 26:17-18, Jesus told Paul to “Teach people to receive forgiveness of sins and their inheritance.” You see, we have all believed it’s the will of God and it’s essential to receive forgiveness of sins, but did you know Jesus said it’s just as much His will for you to receive your inheritance? We must believe it’s His will and His desire for us to receive everything He has for us it's in your ministry and pastor's bank account. 2. Ask your Pastor's, Ministers, Brothers and Sisters for the thing you need and desire. Be specific! If you need an unsaved loved one saved, be specific – name that person to God. If you need a job, be specific about what kind of job, how much money it will earn, and where it will be located. Jesus said in John 16:24, “Ask and you shall receive.” James 4:2 says, “You have not because you ask not.” 3. Be sure you're asking for the right things. James 4:3 says, “You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss.” He tells us that when we miss the mark in what we ask for, we will not receive. How can we be sure of the right things to ask for? Always put and keep God's Kingdom First!!! A. Is it good? (Every good gift comes from God. James 1:17) We are Christ full Body here on earth and He uses us to do His will, purpose and commandments! B. Is it in the Word of God? Can you find two or three Scriptures to support what it is you're asking for? John said in I John 5:14, “If we ask anything according to the will of God, He hears us....” The Word of God is the will of God. A will is a testament – it is a list of promises that a person who dies leaves for his loved one. When Jesus died, all His promises became legally available to us. The promises in His Word are His will. His will is not a mystery as so many Christ Believers have thought. C. Are you capable of being responsible with it when it comes? This point is so very important. If I ask God for one million dollars for Kingdom business idea that will help millions of people, I am fooling myself if I expect to receive it while I have been irresponsible and unwise with the $1,000 that I have already received in sharing with others in the household of faith. Many Believers want to jump from $10 faith to $10 million faith, and it doesn't work that way. You have to be faithful so God can give you more. If a nine-year old son asked you for a car – as much as you want to give it to him, You just can't because he’s not ready for it. Even if he were 16, You still might not give it to him, unless he had been faithful with his bicycle! Did he take care of it? Did he keep it clean? Had he been reckless with it? If he had, why would I think he would act any differently toward more powerful equipment? This is called faithful stewardship and is mandatory if you want to receive the blessing of the Lord. Proverbs 28:20 says “A faithful man will abound with Blessing.” You can't give a loaded gun to a child or to many grown people – and quite literally much of our failure to receive has to do with the immaturity in our lives. If we're acting like Spiritual babies – not controlling our tongues, sinning all the time, or are irresponsible with our stuff – God will not be able to entrust us with more. It would be poor stewardship on His part. But the good news is we don't have to stay babies...we can grow up. How? I. Control our mouth and words. Make sure that the things that come out of our mouths line up with God’s Word (James 3:2). II. Be thankful in everything. Grumbling and complaining is one of the chief reasons the children of Israel did not enter the Promise Land (I Corinthians 10:10). III. Be responsible now for our lives, our money, our bodies, and our possessions. Be good stewards of the things we already have (Luke 12:42). Don't expect God to give you more until you care for what you have by sharing with others in God's Spiritual family! IV. Now, once we have asked according to God’s will… The next thing we need to do is… 4. Believe you received it the moment you ask, no matter what you see or feel (Mark 11:24). This is walking by faith, not by sight (II Corinthians 5-7). You have to break the habit of only believing something when you see it. You must see what is invisible NOW and believe that it is yours – just as a pregnant woman knows there’s a baby in her womb because she has received the seed. And the doctor has confirmed there is life inside – she hasn't seen anything – but it’s there. She knows it’s there. 5. That leads to the next critical ingredient. Luke 6:38 says, “Give and you shall receive.” Your seed is so vital to receiving what it is you have asked for. Galatians 6:7 says, “Let no one be deceived, whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” We must take action if we want to see results. James 2:20 declares “Faith without works is dead.” Again, let me remind you, Abraham demonstrated his faith by the offering of his son. While it is obvious God is not requiring your son of you, the principle is the same. God Blesses Leaders And Believers To Bless Others!!! We must back up our need with some seed – an offering! Not just any old offering, but one that is valuable to us. Plant a financial seed toward the need you have. You may ask, “What if the need isn't financial? Why would I plant a financial seed for a Spiritual or emotional need?” Simply because money is a proof of trust. God doesn't need your money. But, when you give, it shows God He can trust you because you can let go of one of the most valuable things you have. The bottom line is help your Spiritual family with their need. An example of this is the widow in Elijah’s day who gave financial seed and reaped the miraculous harvest of her son’s resurrection from the dead (I Kings 17). I am convinced that if you follow these simple steps you will put and end to the disappointment of unanswered prayer. Remember, though, God can't give you something He doesn't have. He doesn't have poverty, sickness, disease, and sadness so don't bother asking Him for any of those. And He won't hurt someone or take something from someone in order for you to have it. However, He has plenty of “every good thing” for anyone who will ask. Follow these steps in every area of your life, and you will wish you had understood this years ago. Yes just like you took care of your children, It's the Pastor's and Ministers job to take care if the sheep, meaning Christ Church Bride. Amen To The Truth. Amen!!
