Do God's Work and all Your Needs will be Met | Fri May 23, 2014 12:22 am by Camille | God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.
Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

| Don't Limit God
to What You Understand The Scripture tells us in Acts 2 that we can receive the Spirit of God through a second infilling. We receive it in the same way we received salvation. We must believe the Holy Spirit is here for us in order to be filled, but nothing new has to take place in the spirit realm for us to access that power.
If someone says he doesn't want to operate in the gifts of the Spirit, he will not access the power even though it is available to him. Many places in the Word of God we find it clearly stated that what we believe is what we receive. If you believe what the Word of God says concerning the things God has already done, then you receive the things God has made available to every believer. There is untold power available to those who believe. It is one thing to know the power exists, but it is another to know how to apply that power in our lives. When we become Christians, our lives should be changed in such a way that the world will see our good works and be drawn to our heavenly Father.
Jesus said to let our lives shine before men (Matthew 5:16). To put it another way, we are to let our light shine in such a way that when other people see the light, they know it's really the power of God embedded in us. They should recognize it to the point that they look to the Source of the power and glorify the God who put the power in us. If God has provided this great power, should we ignore it out of ignorance or tradition just because we don't understand it?
There are a lot of things that we get involved in that we don't understand. How many people understood what marriage was about when they first got married? It is doubtful that single people really understand the full impact of what they have just committed themselves to on their wedding day. They are taking a step of faith. You might say a leap of faith.
When people get saved, they know very little about what has happened. They just knew something was missing in their life and what they learned about Jesus made them understand He was the missing part. After they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they start to work out their salvation (Philippians 2:12).
Well, it's the same way with the blood of Jesus. There is just no way we can comprehend everything there is to understand about the blood of Jesus. We can't stand back and say, "Okay, when I understand everything there is to know about Jesus' blood, I'm going to apply the blood of Jesus to my life. But until then I'm going to study diligently."
We must study and understand all we can, but we cannot limit the power of God to what we understand.
Scripture References:
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12) One of Satan's most effective tools against the body of Christ is offense because it stops the blessing of God. But you don't have to be deceived! You can choose to be free from offense. Check out Dr. Ollison's book, Breaking the Cycle of Offense.
