"The Crossover"

In the last blog I shared the vision the Lord gave me about the dresser and drawers. The book of Josua opens up talking about a transitionary time with the children of Israel. Lets make no mistake about it, we as the BOC are in that time. Its make or break, its have or be had. Moses the servant of the Lord had died and the reins were passed onto Josua. A brand new way of living was going to be adopted and assimulated. Moses had always been the "monkey in the middle" for the COI. Everytime they got into a pickle, there he was interceeding to God on their behalf. After his death came a period where they were going to have to challenge thinking, talking, and actions. God commanded them to CROSSOVER the Jordan(Josua 1:2) Its time for "the crossover" We must surrender areas that are holding us back from crossing over into our promiselands. The very first thing that we must do is ACKNOWLEDGE. We all have the "so called drawers". The problem is the longer we wait, the harder it becomes. We can get to a place that what were doing becomes a normal way of life and get trapped into familiarity. The bible says that our conscience can be seared with a hot iron(1 Tim 4:2) The bible says we must acknowledge him in all of our ways(Prov 3:6) Surrender & submission is not easy. Its an act of will, not feeling. Jesus in the garden was under such pressure in the midst of submitting his will to the Father that he sweat great drops of blood from his forehead(Luke 22:42) The book of Mark says that his soul was EXEEDINGLY SORROWFUL(Mark 14:35) In other words he had to rise up boldly under the pain and say NEVERTHELESS! Oh my thats a good day! Its a decision to do what PRODUCES good, not what FEELS good. Second, We must ASK. Jesus said ALL power & authority has been given unto me in Heaven & Earth(Matt 28:18) However he cannot do one thing for us until we ask. Jms 4:2 says we have not because we ASK not, Jesus said ASK & we shall recieve(Matt 7:7, Luke 11:9) Jer 33:3 Call upon the name of the Lord & I will show you great mighty things that thou knowest not. The HolySpirit is hovering over, but must be welcomed in. My Brother Dave said that the Lord spoke to him the phrase ENTER IN. We do that by asking him!!!! Number three we must ATTEND. Prov 4:20-22 says My son ATTEND to my words, incline your ears to my sayings let them not depart from your eyes keep them in the midst of your heart for they are life to those that find them and health to all our flesh. The bible says in the world there are many voices(1 Cor 14:20) There are so many voices attempting to get our attention. However the only voice that we are to take heed is that of the HolySpirit. He speaks and brings back to our rememberence the word of God. The thing is if we dont know what he said than hes got nonething to bring back. Jesus said Give us THIS DAY our DAILY BREAD(Matt 6:11) He did'nt say weekly, monthly, annually, or seasonally. We eat virtually everyday. The only time we dont is if the Lord hastens us to fast. How much more must we be eating the word of God. God said to Jeremiah EAT MY WORDS!! As we DO that we'll be so locked into the voice of the spirit and it will guide & govern and we'll not be tossed to and fro by the sleight of men. Fouth, we must be AGGRESSIVE. Josua & the children were going to have many battles on the way to breakthroughs and blessings. We must refuse to be conquered but to conquer. There is a phrase birthed and breeded by the spirit that said Our CALLING is in our CONQUERING!!! Do you want to get to the next level? Conquer whats in front of you, and be aggressive! Be merciful toward people but not principalities!!!! Its time to crossover to this new and living way! Let the Lord challenge you. He did'nt come to condemn but to correct. All of us have those places that need to be corrected. Its often just a small little adjusment. Its like the turning of the knob on a radio. Practice these principles & precepts they will produce power in ALL our lives in JESUS name!!!!!!!!!!!!
