"Enjoying Your New Life the Way God Intended You To"

Praise God! Are "YOU" enjoying your New Life the way that God intended you to?
If the answer is no, then ask yourself........Why Not? If you have accepted
Jesus Christ into your life as your personal Lord and Savior, then you have a
new life and your new life "is" to be enjoyed ! So again, ask
yourself ............Why not ?

I'm here to tell you that it's
definitely "not" b/c it's not available to you. John 10:10, clearly states that
the thief (Satan) comes to kill, steal and destroy, but that he (Jesus) has come
that you may have life and have it to the full ! To the full ! YES,TO THE
FULL! Praise God. Now what is Life to the full? Lets take a look at the
scriptures. We will look at what I like to call  "Life Under The
Blessing" !... Oh !

Just  "saying" that does something to me! So imagine
how good it feels to really experience it. Just say those words out of your
mouth right now and personalize it..........say  "I" have life under the
blessing! Praise God. Ok... now you've said it! (smile) So
now..............the first thing you have to do is align yourself as one to
receive and really do enjoy "Life Under The Blessing". See, I said, align yourself !
And that is where a lot of people have a problem! They want the "benefits" of
"Life Under The Blessing". But they do not want to "align themselves" (meaning
doing certain things/and or stop doing certain things) for a life as such.
Lets take a look at Deuteronomy the 28th Chapter.

Yes, we are quite familair
with this passage right? B/C it speaks of all of the wonderful things that we
love to quote... Being blessed in the city, being blessed in the field, being
blessed we we come in and when we go. God ordering blessings over our
barns, the fruit of your womb being blessed etc. We love quoting all of that
right?

But what about the very first verse of that passage ... and the
most important one at that? IF YOU FULLY OBEY THE COMMANDS, THAT I HAVE SET
BEFORE YOU! Yep, that is it! That is the key! Obedience! Obedience!
Obedience! So now, just that one passage gave quite a few people the answer
already as to why they are not enjoying their new lives. And that
is... Not being willing to "obey" the the things that God
commands. So now that we have narrowed down one reason, lets take a look at
another.

The word of God also says that my people perish for lack of
knowledge. Many times,people may be walking in obedience, but b/c they are
unaware of the things that are available to them. They feel that the
average, medicore way of living is living, when in actuality, its not! I just
recently witnessed this very thing take place before my eyes. In our "Enjoying
Your New Life The Way That God Intended You To" retreat. I brought forth a
message, a very empowering message of who we are in Christ Jesus. And as that
message was being brought forth, you could literally see the transformation
taking place in the women present .Their demeanor, posture, everything
(positioning) Praise God, was changing right before my eyes! And that was just
the natural change that I was able to visually see at the moment. But let me
assure you, the internal change that took place "far exceeded" the outside
appearance changes! After that message they all begin to verbally declare
their positioning.Confident, assured and empowered! B/C what had
happened? They were enlightened on who they were and what was available to
them as women of God! Praise God! And there lives will never be the same! Never
be the same! So in summing this up. First and foremost, Obey God! Obey
God! And secondly, sharpen your knowledge to the things of God.

So, that you are knowledgeable about your inheritance! When you know who you
are and most importantly WHOSE you are, you are able to talk, walk, and
definitely receive accordingly! Am I saying that your life as a child of God
will be trouble free? Certainly not, but even in that (the trials) we bless him
b/c we know they only come to make us strong! So even though the experience
within itself is not very enjoyable. We are still able to be JOYFUL b/c we
know that Romans 8:28 is true! Praise God!!!!!

ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE
GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE!!!!!!Praise God!!!!!!

So make up in your mind today to seek the Lord like you never
have before.Seek Him,not just his blessings,and watch all of these other
things (LIFE UNDER THE BLESSING) be added unto you! Praise God! Be blessed!

and

ENJOY YOUR NEW LIFE THE WAY THAT GOD INTENDED YOU TO !
