Raise Your Expectations – Living From Faith to Faith
To live the abundant life intended by God, believers must move beyond struggle and labor and activate the supernatural force of faith. This shift involves recognizing that victory and provision are not earned through human strength but are already finished in the eternal realm. This realization allows the believer to claim their full inheritance, recognizing that faith is the holder of your destiny.
The Eternal Now: Operating in the Realm of “I Am”
True faith aligns the believer with God’s eternal perspective, operating in the “I am” realm.
- God’s Finished Work: In Heaven, everything for the believer’s life is already done. God does not “start until He’s finished”. Therefore, if a believer says, “I’m going to be” (referring to a future provision), they are not aligning with the power of faith to deliver it now.
- The Power of Presence: Dealing with faith means dealing with the very presence of God. This eternal perspective assures that all necessary provision is already complete.
The world often relies on strength, lawyers, or soldiers. However, God provides His own way to achieve things, which the world may laugh at.
Claiming All Your Benefits: “Bread Comes With This”
The Joshua generation is called to take back everything that Jesus died to provide. The enemy, Satan, is a negotiator whose job is to trick believers out of what God says is theirs.
The Danger of Negotiation
Satan attempts to negotiate with believers, suggesting they can be saved but should leave their healing or financial provision behind. For instance, he might say, “You can get saved, but leave the children here,” or “don’t go too far”. The response must be: “No deal”.
Comprehensive Salvation and Healing
When a person is saved, they receive benefits; “bread comes with this”. Leaving the benefits behind is like walking away from a counter with only the barbecue and forgetting the bread.
The benefits include:
- Forgiveness of All Iniquities: God forgives all iniquities—everything ever done, even things never told to anyone—wiping them out completely. The sin debt “does not exist” in history.
- Healing of All Diseases: God healeth all thy diseases. This is maximum coverage. Believers should not settle for a belief that God can only heal a cold but not a major injury.
- Divine Provision: The “bread” also includes silver and gold. Redemption is not complete without divine provision. God never intended for a born-again believer to struggle to pay bills.
Favor and Supernatural Wealth Transfer
God promises to give His people favor in the sight of their enemies. When believers are released from bondage, they will not go empty.
- Spoiling the Enemy: The Israelites were commanded to “spoil the Egyptians” by borrowing their jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and raiment. This occurred after they had worked for 400 years, demonstrating that one day of favor is worth a lifetime of labor.
- Owning the Apartment: Believers are meant to own the apartment building, not just struggle to pay rent.
The Warehouse of Heaven: Accessing Supernatural Supply
God has a complete, eternal supply for all the believer’s needs, often located in the invisible realm of Heaven.
Divine File and Prototypes
Before a believer was formed in the womb, God knew them and had a file on their members. This is akin to a company having five years of car prototypes and all the necessary parts already made in a warehouse before the car is assembled.
- Eternal Members: All members were written in God’s book. The inheritance is incorruptible and undefiled, reserved in Heaven.
- Heaven to Earth Transfer: The necessary new members—arms, legs, toes, hair, organs, eardrums—are in a “warehouse without walls” in Heaven. Jesus was constantly transferring Heaven to Earth.
- Healing the Maimed: When the maimed were brought to Jesus, new members grew out. This miracle, which cannot be scientifically explained, demonstrates that God can heal everything, including conditions resulting from past habits like smoking (emphysema) or drinking (bad liver).
Faith as the Original Technology
Faith is the original technology that transfers Heaven to Earth. Believers do not need to understand how the miracle happens, but must simply understand by faith.
- Speaking to the Situation: The supernatural happens when believers speak to the mountain. The speaker gave examples of speaking to a car and his own knee, commanding new cartilage and ligaments to form in the name of Jesus.
- Going Beyond Simple Healing: Believers should not just ask God to heal a headache; they should ask for a new brain to address the headache. They must go beyond “settling for a fallen man technology” and utilize faith, which can transfer a hip with no money.
