If Christ is in you, and you become obedient to Him, it says the things that He did on the earth, you’re going to do them too, because He’s in you with the word of His Father in Him. ...and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. With Christ and the Holy Spirit in you, there is an opening for those that walk in faith and go into dominion to do the same works and even greater than what Jesus did.

What is great faith? Obedience. Why is faith obedience? It’s because I have faith in my God that He is going to do the right thing to increase me that I might fellowship with Him.
No one that operates in rebellion will make it. Now, grace is given to you for a period of time when God will help you come out of rebellion and walk in truth. But if you choose not to do it, and you run, you’ll be one of those that He said He will cast into outer darkness where there’s going to be weeping and gnashing of teeth. That’s all there is to it. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; Fearing Him doesn’t mean that I’m going to run and hide from Him. Fearing Him is that I must do and not be in rebellion to what He wants done. If you are not in rebellion then you are not in a place of being driven to accomplish it and God will show the covenant of promise that you’re going to receive. I know that serving the Lord and letting Him use me as He will, no matter what happens in between there, I’m trusting in God, and as I trust Him and do His will, I can go about not worrying what’s coming.
We must overcome rebellion and bitterness and all of these things that fight against God in our hearts. We have to overcome. He’s given us the weapons to do it. He said, I will give you whatever weapon you need as long as you are doing it to be regenerated so you are useful to Me and I can commission you to live forever through eternal salvation.
Anyone that has not started in the process of regeneration is dead because the outer court is removed from Christ. We go to the cross and accept the death that Jesus had for us so we might be regenerated... Did Jesus say it was easy to get saved? He said it’s a hard thing. Does this sound like a hard thing? It is. You have to go to the cross and die like He did.
How many would like to be comforted in knowing that your faith, which is growing each day, is sufficient, or you’re on the right path to become a warrior of great faith?
God never promised you that you wouldn’t have afflictions and troubles in this world. If you didn’t have afflictions and troubles you would never move on to a higher level to destroy the afflictions because of the vexations that are in you. That’s just the way it is and God has chosen to use that to move you from the things of the world to the things of the kingdom of heaven. God’s going to make a covenant with us that He will remove those things that would try to pull us in a wrong direction so we can walk in the rest that He wants to give those that are in the earth. Not the world, the earth. He’s going to break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth. Not the world. Because the world is not going to enjoy living in the supernatural.
John 15:16, Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Ordained is to have a relationship that is in spirit and truth. Life on this earth is just like a puff of smoke. It's here and gone in comparison to eternity.
You have to humble yourself and come to a place of being called because you want Him, to chosen, because you want Him, and then faithful, because you want Him. That’s it. Without that you can’t enter the kingdom of God.
The biggest difference between Old Testament and New Testament is that the Old Testament was more corporate and the New Testament is more individual: your salvation. We meet to celebrate each other’s love of the Lord and that in itself is encouraging but not salvation. A lot of people think that it is. Just listen to the preacher and do what he says and hope we get there. There has to be more than that. There has to be the word of God in you that’s alive. Not just knowing the word of the Lord, but that it’s alive in you and that’s personal.
