Praise The Instinct of The Recreated Human Spirit - Pastor Ekpenyong

1Peter 2:9CEV 

“But you are God's chosen and special people. You are a group of royal priests and a holy nation. God has brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Now you must tell all the wonderful things that he has done."

It is quite saddening that religion has taught men to think that anything that will please God must be a strain and burden on us which is why the expressions of our deepest outbursts of joy are contained.

Constantly we find good people suspecting themselves of insincerity, or quite sure that something dreadful is going to happen, if they find themselves happy, and really enjoying their spiritual duties and exercises.

However, praise is our expression of delight in God Himself; our expression of the love we feel as we consider, “How Great Thou Art:"

Praise is God's people, gathered to adore and to give glory to God, for all that He is and for all that He has done.

Praise is God's people, gathered to remember His works, and to focus attention on Him.

Praise is the overflowing joy of a people whose vision is filled with the beauty and the glory of their God.

To feel the pleasantness of praise is a sign of cherishing right thoughts of God our Father and also cherishing right thoughts of ourselves as His lovely and loving children. 

Glory!

Christ In Me Consciousness - Pastor Ekpenyong

Colossians 1:27 

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

One word that expresses what God is trying to develop in us is the word CONSCIOUSNESS.

Consciousness means “that which the soul KNOWS.

What you know and have proven, determine the basis of your confidence.

It is not that which you believe, hope for or have an existent faith for but that which the soul rests on; the thing which has become concrete in your life.

The God-inside consciousness grows as you spend time meditating on divine realities and truths especially as revealed in the letters of Paul to the churches.

Until you know beyond every shadow of doubt that in Christ, nothing good is withheld from you.

This means that Christ is the embodiment of all the powers and attributes of God and He is in you; therefore all the powers and attributes of God, all that makes Him God is in you. Hallelujah!

This is the consciousness you need and should cultivate which will put you over satan, his cohorts and the challenges in life you will ever face.

Glory!

Your Health And Your Healing Benefits - Pastor Ekpenyong

Psalms 103:3TPT 

"You kissed my heart with forgiveness, in spite of all I’ve done. You’ve healed me inside and out from every disease.."

It is instructive that we are reminded again not to forget another benefit in the LORD. The LORD heals each one of all our diseases; inside and out. Hallelujah!

The word heals is from the Hebrew context Rapha which means to mend, physician, to be thoroughly whole, to cure, to make healthful.

He cures us of every possible sickness or disease.

You are The Healed and not The Sick.

1 Peter 2:24 TPT He himself carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we would be dead to sin and live for righteousness. Our instant healing flowed from his wounding.

This healing includes the body, soul, and emotions. It was fulfilled in two ways: first, by the healing ministry of Jesus, and second, by the blood of Christ’s wounds. Hallelujah!

God's power is not bold in the face of a headache and then intimidated by a terminal prognosis.

The more you remember and acknowledge this benefit as all the other benefits the more this is your experience.

Have you seen anyone who doubts the veracity their benefits in their workplace? They accept them and enjoy them.

Therefore, don't judge the veracity of His benefits by the symptoms you're experiencing.

Exercise your faith in this benefit that He heals each one of all your diseases; inside and out and walk in the fulness of same.

Enjoy your health and healing benefit all the days of your life.

Glory!
