Wealth Mentality: Sunday Service: May 18, 2014
Pastor Mario continued the Wealth Mentality series speaking on Position. At the end of the service Pastor Mario called out a few words of knowledge, & immediately released the super natural into the room. The congregation was inspired by Deacon Daniel Garcia to share a genuine moment of encouragement ,and love with one another.
The following questions will be answered throughout the message. These are questions that, as children of God, we should be fully confident in the answers. Especially, since the Bible declares these truths.
As a believer where do you sit?
As a believer where do you stand?
As a believer where do you walk?
There is nothing on earth that is richer than sitting in heavenly places with Christ. None of the situations that we may be facing in life are more powerful than the truth the bible tells us about our heavenly position. A person with a wealth mentality understands where they are, whom they sit next to, and who sat them there. Jesus is the one who, through His redemptive work on the cross, provided us with salvation and our position. God is doing the work. He raised us up from the dirt.
We need to comprehend the "raising up” part. Jesus raised us up TOGETHER. Jesus brought us up to Heavenly places. He left his crown, His throne, and came to save us. We are a pearl that was in the mud and He cleaned us, and brought us up into His heart. By sitting us next to Him we should take note that there is now no separation between God and us. He has drawn us with loving-kindness.
Imagine a CEO coming down to the basement to promote a janitor cleaning up a mess. The CEO comes to tell him or her the good news. The CEO cleans up the mess. Next the CEO takes the janitor up to the 700th floor. The Janitor, however, dressed in dirty clothes, doesn't feel worthy but the CEO takes out a brand new suit called righteousness. See family we were buried with Him and then resurrected with Christ. We are no longer in filthy rags but we have been made new in Christ.
Colossians 3:1
Since we are seated with Christ in Heaven. Then we can seek those things above where Christ is, and where we are too. It isn't from Earth to Heaven. But Heaven through Heaven, and then we live out Heaven to Earth.
Colossians 1:13
We were in the darkest basement and Jesus came from Heaven to bring us out to light. Therefore, with a wealth mentality in Christ we should be fully aware of our POSITION. We know we are seated in Heavenly places, and we should expect good. First we must know we are at the right hand of the Father so we may expect good things from our Father. Expect good things. What else should we expect from Heavenly places? Answer this in your heart and mind. Ask God to reveal this to you. If in any event you turn from this awareness, then repent. The word repent means to change your thinking or turn around. Let's change the way we think. Let’s renew our mind. Jesus says to us change the way you think because the Kingdom is in you.
Let's avoid failure talk. Statements that sound like… Oh it's not going right. It's not going to work. It's not going to happen for me. I suck. NO, let's not speak incorrectly into our lives. Let's have faith and speak life into our lives. God will provide. Let's put into practice the word of God. The fresh spoken word of God that redeems, reveals, and releases blessings daily. Let’s see ourselves the way He sees us, and thinks about us. So, as He is so are we!
Our wealth is Jesus Christ. Our position in Jesus is eternal. We sometimes think we have to go to God but there is no separation between God and us. Adam tried to hide from God because he felt shame but there is no separation. We must unveil every area of our life to God because it too, will be raised up.
Father we pray these words may bless, and be a vehicle to further release revelation to the reader about their position, in Jesus name.
