No More Cheese And Crackers

There was a story I heard of a man that went on a five star luxury cruise. He had enough money to pay for the ticket, but not to eat the fabulous food. So as the others went to "fine dine" he would sit in the corner of the ship eating cheese and crackers. He did this for a number of days until one afternoon someone came up to him saying " I notice you sitting in the corner eating cheese and crackers". why dont you come join the rest of us in the dining room? The man responded "I only had enough to pay for the ticket but not the meals"The other guy just shook his head in shock and suprise saying... Sir the meals were included in the price of that ticket! The point is there are too many believers that are sitting in the corner of life eating cheese and crackers. they are settling for far less than Gods best and living way beneath their rights and privledges in Christ Jesus. We serve a covenant keeping God! He has promised to provide and take care of all that are underneath it. However there are many that dont have a "covenant conscience" They trust more in the devils ability to hurt and harm than Gods to protect and provide. it doesent take long to figure out. Listen to the speech that comes from the mouths of people that are under the blood. It often duplicates that of the world. The reason for this is found in two majior areas. Its because we dont KNOW what belongs to us. God said through the mouth of the prophet Hosea MY PEOPLE are destroyed through a lack of knowledge(Hosea 4:6) Notice God said his people are destroyed not from a lack of education, ability, or talent but by his KNOWLEDGE! Its time that we as covenant kids of the most high know what belongs to us and walk ye in it. In a time of intercession before the Lord, He said Brian there are too many of my kids living in Lodabar. This was the place that a young man by the name of Mephibasheth lived. His life looked hopeless. A dude dropped and made crippled destined to live in a parched land with little opportunity. However one day King David asked one of his servants if there was any in the house of Saul that he could show kindness to for Jonathans sake(2 Sam 9:1) David had a covenant with a dude named Jonathan. The bible says their souls were knitted together(1 Sam 18:3) In other words if one of them were to die it was the others responsibility to provide for any that be in the lineage. It seemed sure that all Sauls decendants were dead. However to the dismay of many Mephibasheth was found. David said to him that he had a place right at the Kings table. The thing was he simply never knew! How many blessing are ours by inheritance but we simply havent got a clue? The second is our words. There are many people that know what belongs to them but simply refuse to surrender their speech to Him. They would rather speak how they feel and what they see rather than what he says. When David looked at the crippled boy telling him his inheritance, all he could do is simply state how could this be FOR SUCH A DEAD DOG AS I(2 Sam 9:8) Do you have a dead dog mentatlity? Are saying something other than what the word says for your life? STOP IT! The bible says that if we offend not in word, the same is a perfect man(mature) thats also able to bridle the whole body(Jms 3:2) The Lord showed me a vision. In it there was a dresser and at the bottom there were three empty drawers that were pulled out. The dresser represented our lives, and the drawers represented areas and arenas of our lives that had yet to be surrenderred and submitted unto Him. The drawers were EMPTY because once they were surrendered and submitted, he will pour the content of his presence power and provision! One main areas especially in the lives of believers is their talk. Mark 11:23 Jesus said saith three times compered to believe one time. Its important to believe with our heart but its equally important to SAY with our mouths. With the heart man believith unto righteousness and with the MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO............ What are you confessing unto Today? More lack, pain stress, condemnation, the beating up of ones self? God gave us our tounges to edify not to crucify and this includes our ownselves! Refuse to be conformed to the word and sadly much of the church. Our tounge is like the rudder on the ship and through it maybe being blown by fiearce wind, it will move in the direction wherever the governor listeth(Jms 3:2,3) WE ARE THE GOVERNOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make "09" a no cheese and cracker year in JESUS name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
