Taking It By Force!

This past year I went to several seminars. Andrew Wommack, Bill Johnson & Mehesh Shavad, Elijia List (East Coast Prophetics) And this week at Rand Clark's (School for Healing & Impartation) I observed something very interesting at these conferences, in all of them, they gave away FREE books, DVD's & CDs. Every time they gave them away, they would ask everyone who wants it? Almost everyone would raise their hands, I do, I do! Then there were a few who got off their buts and came forward, and there were even fewer, that grabbed it (taking it by force). I've made mental note of this and conveyed this thought to a few friends in relation to spiritual gifts.

Well today Randy Clark was giving away a few books. Most everyone raised their hands for, he handed them out to a few who asked, some far away, some close. No one running up to ask! I wasn't interested in those books so I didn't raise my hand. Then he got to the last book of his he was giving away on "Impartation". I wanted that one! He asked who wanted that one? I raised my hand like many others. Noticed his body language was different then the others he had handed out, standing in mid stage with his hand up high, saying "Who want's this book?" So I started to move quickly to the front, noticing another women on my right moving quickly too. So I ran in front of him, putting my hand right in his face, saying I do. Noticed his stair straight ahead. He then confirmed to me what he was trying to do, by saying "If anyone really wants this book bad enough, (that's when I moved) they can have it!" So I snatched it from his hands. His point proved and example shown to others. He then started his lesson off with "Those wanting spiritual gifts bad enough, take it by force!"

Very good lead in! I felt honored in a way to be the one, taking it by force. I pray my life lives in parallel with that spiritually as well!

Take it by Force!
There is so much God wants to offer us, and He is sure to give it to those who go get it, but less likely to those who sit back. There is so much, just go get them!

The Prodigal Son / FAT COW / Brother & Heir

There are nuggets of Gold all over, we just need to be looking to find them!

I remember the story about the prodigal son. Most remember the story because of the LOST SON THAT RETURNS.... BUT they forget about the FAT COW!

What's the Fat Cow have to do with anything? Well a Fat Cow is one who is eating good because the farmer is wealthy! This cow was killed when the son returned. The son who stayed home asked the dad, why does he get the cow at his feast? The father said to that son "This cow was always yours, you could have had it at any time." We think, that we constantly need to ASK God instead of understanding What He already gave us. In doing so we need to KNOW who we are in Christ. Our Identity! We can not achieve this by "God's ways are not our ways, nor His thoughts ours" for then we never become one with Him. Biblical research will reveal (if you are searching for them) just exactly what we have as an HEIR (as a child) of God's. I am NOT saying we deserve it! I am saying because of grace it has been given.

Think hard next time you decide to pray (ask) God for something. It may have been given to you, you just lack the knowledge of how to obtain it! So to ask for it, may not be entirely correct to do. Hmmm, that might sound a little confusing...

Example: Jesus said "All Power and Authority has been given to me and I give it to you." So what do you do when temptation comes knocking? (Pray? or Command!?) I am NOT saying for anyone to be living this way in their own Power, but in Christ's. "So let him who boasts boasts in the Lord." I am saying we are heirs of Christ, so we have already been given a certain amount.

Just a thought-
If we do not know what we have, we have little, we live as peasants!
If we do know what we have been given, we have much, and live ask Kings!
