Your Plans Or His Plan for 2012

Is it too early to begin planning for 2012?

Proverbs 16:1-3 (NLT)

We can make our own plans, but the LORD gives the right answer. People may be pure in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their motives. Commit your actions to the LORD, and your plans will succeed.

2012 will come and it’s fast on it’s way! (It will not take the Lord by surprise and neither should it take us by surprise.)

God is the master planner and was the FIRST planner! Before He spoke “Light BE” He had a plan for the light and everything else that He set out to create. He created all things with a purpose and on purpose. He didn’t discover man one day and say, “Oh, there’s a man. What should I do with him?” He had a plan for that man named Adam. He has a plan for you. (And He has a plan for you in the year of 2012!) (see Jer. 29:11)

God the Father has gone through some great efforts to make a way to get His plan for us transmitted to us. We are anticipating that 2012 will be the greatest year of our lives because God’s plan is for us is to ALWAYS “be fruitful and multiply!” (even when the earth is experiencing difficult times) He created us to succeed and be victorious.

Seeking His plan…

With God

With God there are NO IMPOSSIBILITIES! None at all…nothing means no-thing! God’s promise to Mary in Luke 1 is God’s promise to each one of us in 2011!

“For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.” Luke 1:37 AMP

The key is WITH GOD! Don’t ever do anything without God because that is when we run into the wall of impossibility. Walking with God and doing only what He tells us to do will permit us to do things that are impossible with man. Jesus did these type of things during His ministry on the earth and we can do them because He said that the things that He did we should and would do.

He wants us to walk in the realm of the supernatural. He has empowered us with His Spirit to walk in His power to do His will! We can declare as Mary did – let it be with me Lord, according to Your Word!

Get up from your seemingly impossible situation and begin to do what God has told you to do and He will turn the impossibilities into possibilities! He will make a way where it doesn’t seem like there is one. He is on your side and if He is for you, who can stop you?

Storm Proof Life

Storms come but they do not have to destroy you.

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. – Matthew 7:24-25 NKJV

You can determine today to never ever be destroyed by a storm again. The Lord has given us a way to live a storm proof life. He has given us the responsibility to protect our lives from destruction. Many times we pray for Him to protect us from calamity but we need to understand that walking in His Word is so powerful. By conducting our lives according to His Word and becoming a “doer” of the Word of God we will stand strong against any and every storm…and continue standing after the storm passes!

Declare yourself as a DOER of the Word today (and everyday from now on!). Commit to do everything that you see in His Word, immediately. He has given us a rock to build our houses upon.

No matter how many storms you have been through and how many times your house has fallen from storm damage, you can begin today to build a fortress on the ROCK by doing the sayings of Jesus. Make His Word first place in your life and others will see your “storm proof life” and begin to ask “how can I do what you have done?”

It’s all about doing the sayings of Jesus!

Love is the Key

Love is such a big key to walking in victory in this Christian life. I do believe that’s why the enemy throws big challenges in this area. He knows if he can get you out of the love walk, it will affect your peace, your strength, your joy, your health, your prayers and handicaps your faith big time. In Romans 5, the Word says that, “we have been justified, declared righteous through faith, and by faith through grace we have God’s favor, joy and hope. God’s hope never disappoints, because His love has been poured out in our hearts, we can love super-naturally. Have you ever wanted to be a super-hero, like “Super-Woman” or “Super-Man”, and do what the average human could not? Well, here is your opportunity, when you tap into God’s love, He pours His super upon your natural ability and you can love those under normal circumstances, you could not.

You do not have to worry about having enough love inside your heart. God’s Word says, His love is shed abroad, or has been poured out in your heart, by the Holy Spirit. We need to activate it by making the decision to allow it to flow.

Here is a prayer to pray everyday:

“Father, in Jesus Name, today I make a new and strong commitment to live a life of love, to let the tenderness of God flow through me and help those I come in contact with. Help me and teach me to love even when things go wrong, to be patient and kind to those are not, and to lay aside all hurt. Teach me to talk in love, walk in love and season my words with grace and mercy.

Lord, Your Word says, that Your love has already been poured out in my heart, so today I resolve to remove every obstacle that would keep me from flowing in love. I place all resentment behind me, and I forgive all those who’ve done me wrong. I take upon your cloak of peace, the robes of righteousness and Your eyes of compassion. Thank You Lord, that You cause me to increase and excel and overflow with Your Love and that I am a living example of Your love to those around me. Amen.”

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. (1 John 4:7-17 NKJV)

Covered By Love

What is greater than all sin?

Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others].  – 1 Peter 4:8 AMP

The love of God is greater than all sin! Jesus’ love for us and in us will conquer any and every wrong.

1 Corinthians 13 says that one aspect of love is that it never fails and never quits (it never gets to a place where it gives up) Sure there are times where we want to give up but instead of giving up we would “tap into” the love of God on the inside of us…we would receive the strength that it takes to love and win!

The opposite of cover is expose. Love does not expose sin. It is not our job or calling in life to go around shining a light on every one’s sin to expose them. (we don’t go to the other extreme and pretend as though sin doesn’t exist either…) By “covering sin” the Bible means that we forgive, forget and look past the sin of others in order that we keep ourselves from judging and criticizing those that we see in sin. Jesus ministered to the woman that was caught in the act of adultery by saying “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.” There is no condemnation in Christ. Operate in the extreme love of God and release people from their sin. Allow the love of God on the inside of you to cover sin not expose it.
