CO-CREATORS WITH GOD

By choosing to believe in God’s word as opposed to Satan’s lies, we experience God’s Word as Life and health to our bones.  When we receive the anointed Word and it is established within our whole being we can declare it out of a heart that is transformed to think as God thinks.  Then, with the same anointing we can declare God’s Word in the power of the Holy Spirit. His Word has become substance to us.  When Jesus referred to faith as a grain of mustard seed, He was referring to faith as substance the size of a mustard seed.  Substance faith needs only to be the size of a tiny mustard seed to do the works of God as He intends and directs us.

And then, as leaven (yeast) that has been put into flour begins to rise – grow – expand and become the whole loaf, so faith grows and eventually becomes the WHOLE thing!  By believing, agreeing with and declaring all of God’s Covenant with us we become partakers of His Word, eventually bringing about the actual reality of what He has created us to be.   He has created us in His image.  By the establishment of His anointed word in the power of the Spirit, we are on the path of righteousness becoming what the word says we are in the book of James:  We are whole and complete, perfect and entire IN Christ.

We become co-creators with our Creator by agreeing with and declaring His Word over every circumstance in our lives.  His Word IS Life!  By our agreeing with and declaring His Word IN the power of His indwelling presence, we are filled with His Spirit of Praise and Adoration for His Mighty Acts within us.  We are full of Praise as He reveals HIMSELF to us.  We know His heart of love, mercy and grace in our lives and we respond with a heart full of WORSHIP IN HIM.  A heart of spontaneous Worship ministers to Him at His table.

To know God as the eternal God who has always existed and to know where we came from.  He spoke the word out of His mouth and we were brought into being.
He is the very source of our existence.  In Him ALL things consist.  There is nothing made that was not made by Him.  He is God of ALL.  And, through His Son, Jesus, THE ETERNAL SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS, He has reconciled ALL back unto Himself.  And we are, by the declaration of His Word in power and truth, bringing into existence our resurrected Life of wholeness in Him.  As our sins were nailed to the cross with Him and we died with Him, as we were buried with Him, so we arose with Him….in newness of Life…His life…His faith…and in the righteousness of God!

God created us in His image to multiply - to be co-creators with Him.  And by agreeing with and declaring His Word, we bring His Word to pass within our own lives.  His Word becomes reality to us and Satan’s lies become fables that disappear, as if they never existed, because, in fact, they did not exist.  They were all lies.  And Satan is the father of all lies.  Let God’s Word be true – and everything contrary to His Word a lie.  Lies cannot exist.  Therefore the truth is - - - lies do not exist.  Only TRUTH exists.  Only truth will stand.  And only TRUTH WILL REMAIN.  All else will be done away with.  Praise God!

The truth is that God dwells in us.  When God draws us unto Himself and reveals Himself to us in His Son, Jesus, The Christ, and we acknowledge His Son, Jesus, as His Saviour to save us from our sins, we are redeemed by the power of His blood and born again by the Spirit of God.   We then learn that we are abiding IN the secret place of the Most High God, underneath the shadow of the Almighty.  We learn to put our trust IN Him – IN His Word – IN the Christ within.  We have learned it is Christ in me the hope of glory.  It is no longer my life, but Christ who lives within me.  I was crucified with Christ –nevertheless I live – but the life I now live I live by the faith of the Son of God who gave Himself for me.

As the Father has sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into this world – so Jesus has sent us into the world…not to condemn the world but to reconcile it back INTO God – in turn for them to become ambassadors for Him, too, (II Cor. 5:19-20).  Then, we are multiplying with Him (Co – Creators IN Him).  Jesus said, "The things I do you will do also and greater things than these shall you do because I go to the Father” He did go back to His Father.  And He did send us the Holy Spirit of promise from the Father.  And we are being transformed into His image that when Christ is fully formed in us we will be doing what Jesus did and more.  And He said He would be with us as we speak His Word, working with us, confirming His Word with signs following.  His Spirit of Grace will abound toward us in every circumstance as we bring the good news to others that we have been reconciled back INTO God by His Son Jesus Christ, when we begin to declare the EVERLASTING GOSPEL!

So, as I declare His Word over every circumstance that defies His Word, speaking His word over every symptom or report that is contrary to what God’s Word says, God’s Word will be manifested…What He says will come into being…It will happen…For He is faithful who has promised…He is faithful to His Word to perform it.  There will be a performance of those things He has told us.  Jesus Christ has made us whole!  The glory all belongs to Him – but He says we share in His glory…and we do.  He is our Creator and we share in bringing HIS NEW LIFE to pass in others.  We share in bringing His promises to pass as we believe and declare His Word to others, bringing NEW LIFE into existence around us…Halleluiah God; what a SAVIOUR; Halleluiah, what a LORD and KING; Halleluiah, what a great, Omnipotent God – our sovereign creator of ALL.  We have been with Him from the beginning.  He created us out of Himself.  Before the worlds were ever formed He knew us!
