Supernaturally Predestined, Supernaturally Fulfilled

Ephesians 1:11

In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will. NKJV

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. AMP

His plan and purpose for your lives are already predetermined supernaturally by the Almighty God. If you seek it and walk it out it will be supernaturally fulfilled.

Praying Supernaturally

We know that God has already predestined us with His plan so then we should pray out the mystery of His plan to unfold. Praying in the Spirit, speaking in unknown tongues is supernatural praying and the mystery is unfolded supernaturally.

Revealed Supernaturally

By the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit – the Word of Wisdom – is a supernatural revelation of your future in God’s plan. When you received the word given and believe it will come to pass, you are receiving the gift of special faith. It is a supernatural manifestation of the Spirit that empowers you with that gift of faith for what is specifically promised or revealed to you. As you continue to believe that God’s plan will be fulfilled, you are continuously sustained by that gift of special faith until that revealed plan is accomplished.

Led Supernaturally

As you embark on that predestined plan of God for your life, you are following the leading of the Holy Spirit and you are being led supernaturally. The leading of the Holy Spirit is supernatural. (more…)

A Wealthy Place

Psalm 66:12

12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.KJV

Jesus brought Us into a Wealthy Place

Galatians 3:13

13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us,…NKJV

It all began with Jesus’ obedience when He died on the cross and ascended to be seated at the right hand of the Father.

Colossians 1:13

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:KJV

When we were born again He brought us out of darkness into a wealthy place that is the Kingdom of His dear Son.

We are children in His kingdom and in this kingdom there is no poverty, no sickness and no spiritual death. We are in a wealthy place. Let this manifest in our natural lives. We can live heaven on earth now!

Galatians 3:14

14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.NKJV

We are one with Christ because we are in Christ and Christ in us. All the promises given to Abraham are our inheritance. In other words, all the blessings of Abraham become ours because we are joint heirs with Christ.

Galatians 3:26-27,29

26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.NKJV

We believe, just like Abraham, therefore we receive the promises of the Spirit. When we received the Spirit of the Lord, all the inheritance becomes ours. For Christ had died that I may become heirs to inherit all that the Father has for me. Someone had to die in order that others may receive the inheritance. Jesus died! That we may receive healing and health, life and wealth – all these become our inheritance. (more…)
