FAITH

“I tell you the truth, there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Kingdom of God come with Power.” (Mark 9:1)

There are some that will not die to themselves until they have seen the miracles of God come to pass. When Jesus said you must “die”, He wasn’t speaking of a physical death, He was speaking of a spiritual one. He was talking about dying from your own selfish needs, wants, or desires in order to be spiritually alive in Him.

To die to oneself is to die with Christ and be totally surrendered to Him in order that you may be raised with Christ.

To die is to lose your life (and yourself) for the sake of Christ. God wants you to be “put to death” so to speak, so that He can give you life. He alone can breathe life into your existence, your purpose, and equip you with the resources you need to “live”.

Unfortunately, many do not want to believe in Christ until they see a powerful miracle come to pass. But Jesus says in John 20:29, “blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Also, Abraham believed by faith and it was credited to him as righteousness. (Romans 4:9) I know in my own life, I saw many miracles come to pass after I stepped out in faith and made the decision to believe in Him.

Ultimately the enemy wants to shake your faith because he knows that if he can shake your faith, he can have you question God and hinder your communication with Him. Recognize that God wants to move you into a new season of harvest in your life. Recognize that God wants you to die to yourself and obey by faith!

I urge you, do not be moved by your circumstances. Speak positively over your life and release what God has promised you.

Today, choose to die from your own selfish needs, wants, or desires and see the Kingdom of God come into your life with power and might!
