IF YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE-THEN ALL THE PROMISES ARE YOURS
-PART THREE-BABYSTEPS FIRST THEN WALK THEN RUN
Ephesians 3:20 (KJV)
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Let me read that again and notice the last part of the verse.
Ephesians 3:20 (KJV)
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
This powerful promise from God to you and I is contingent on that last part according to the power that worketh in us,
1. To get the exceeding abundant results depends on the amount of power that you get working in your life!
This is the part of the verse many people forget.
What do I mean? If you only have a little bit of God’s power working in you then you can only receive little
In other words, the more that you get working in you the greater your results will be.
2. You must grow in Knowledge
2 Peter 1:3-4 (ESV)
3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
2 Peter 3:18 (ESV)
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
3. You must mediate (think on) the Promises of God
2 Peter 1:3-4 (ESV)
3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
4. You must first take Baby Steps before you walk and then you eventually began to run
Hebrews 5:12-14 (ESV)
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food,
13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.
14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
o Remember you always must get the doubt out for the mustard seed to proceed.
o When thoughts come don’t take them or speak them. You can’t help a thought from coming but you empower it when you dwell on it or speak it out.
o Matthew 6:33-Take no thought saying
5. So how do I do this?
· You must be all in (This works best when you give your all to Jesus) (If you don’t there is a tendency to waffle
Jeremiah 29:13 (ESV)
13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
· Ask God to help you
James 1:5 (ESV)
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
· Start reading the Promises as yours: Put your name in it
· Then start taking Baby Steps
· What are Baby Steps:
Let me show you this when it comes to Divine Healing
o Please read my disclaimer first before you do this
o You start with a headache or a cold-something small and harmless and you believe God to heal you
o Then you can you work your way up to harder things: like the flu or pain in your body
o Then if cancer or something life threating comes along you will be ready
· Don’t put this off and think you will be able to conquer it then. That’s like running a marathon with no training. You won’t be able to do this. You won’t be ready!
· Now if you are already in a life-threatening situation then you need to reach out and let someone who has had success in Divine Healing help you. You won’t be ready
So, if you do this you will grow and be amazed:
Baby Steps first then walk and eventually run
And you will have the Power of God effectively working in you and you will see things from God that are: Above all you could ask or think!
