The Purchasing Power of Desire

March 6, 2011 - Bishop D.H. McKillop

 
Obeying the Word of God is the most important thing we can do. We need His approval on our sacrifice and the glory of God in our lives to cover us. His glory covered Adam and Eve and when they saw what they really were they tried to cover themselves with something that had been cursed. There is no situational ethics for sin. If you really want to know what you are, get in His presence. Something will have to die inside of you to get in touch with God. We have a longsuffering God that puts up with our insufficiencies; don’t ever let the thought cross your mind that God is not treating you right. 
 
There has been a battle over worship since the beginning. Cain used something from cursed ground to offer his sacrifice; he was trying to offer it as a gift. Abel went with faith; not works, that God would accept his sacrifice. Even though we sin, we can come to the House of God and offer our sacrifice with faith and God will accept it. That is what makes the difference in our worship. We have to die out to flesh to worship. If you have no worship; you have no sacrifice. We will be able to face anything when we know God has accepted our sacrifice. 
 
When we determine to do right, God will come by and give us the grace to overcome. Sacrifice and hunger brings revival and when desire meets power there is no coaxing. Desire will cause you to do whatever you have got to do to meet with the Master. When we feel the least worthy but the most grateful He will come by and give us abundant grace and accept our sacrifice.

 

 

Jesus Rejoiced In Spirit
March 13,2011 - Bishop D.H. Mckillop
 
God has His eye on the church and loves the church. We withhold God's blessings with our delay in our obedience to God's Word. We have got to believe that God knows what He is doing. He will not create a situation that He can't take care of. Listening to the negative will kill your faith. We are tied to the natural but there is coming a day when this mortal body will put on immortality. We will not know one another after the flesh. So while we wait for that immortality, we need to edify one another when we meet together. There is nobody big enough to keep you out of Heaven. 
 
God called Abraham out of Ur without him knowing where he was going, but he knew God was taking him to a city whose builder and maker was God. God kept setting attractions for him along the way. We need the same faith that Abraham had that we are going to leave here and make it to the city and receive our inheritance. Abraham knew there would be things that he would have to conquer but he kept moving and building altars. 
 
Where the presence of the Lord is there is peace. We can live in freedom through the liberty of the Holy Ghost. The devil has no rights or power in the church. God can cause confusion on anything that tries to come against the church. Our natural gets affected, but our spiritual can't be moved. So, keep watching as God continues to strut his stuff. 

 

 

I Am Persuaded 
March 27, 2011 - Bishop D.H.  McKillop
 
We know in whom we have believed that He will keep that which we’ve committed. Walking and knowing you are in the will of God will hold you fast to what you believe.  The excellency of the power is of God; not of us. God started this world with the Holy Ghost moving and He will finish it with the Holy Ghost moving. The principle of the resurrection is the Holy Ghost; it is our buying power. 
 
If you are not living in a place where you need faith then you are not living in the supernatural. Faith will hold you while you wait for the substance. If we never had a problem we wouldn’t know how God could solve them. The enemy will fight every new step that we take but in order to have victory there has to be something to struggle through. Our strength is made perfect in weakness. 
 
If God be for us, who can be against us? Our problems are to conform us to the image of God. God glorifies those He justifies. He has a way of fixing up our shortcomings as long as we are not living in open rebellion. God needs to hear about our frustrations. We have got to believe that He loves us. Nobody can separate us from that love when we are persuaded. Persuasion will allow the anointing to do the work.
