Power Of Partnership



Key Scripture:  “My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given.  You received Christ Jesus, the Master, now live Him. You’re deeply rooted in Him.  You’re well constructed in Him.  You know your way around faith. Now do what you’ve been taught.  Schools out; quit studying the subject and start living it!"  Colossians 2, The Message
Power Point:
    What if you woke up in the morning and looked into the mirror and thought, “Wow!  I look different! I look younger and more vibrant. I look as though I’m in robust health.”  You may notice your eyes especially. They are incredibly clear and peaceful.  Love seems to pour from them.  You sense the compassion in their depths. 
     You know its time to go and spend your quiet time with the Father but instead oaf dragging your feet to your favorite place, you find an energetic spring in your step as though you can’t wait to get there.
The moment you settle yourself to spend your time with Him, you can also sense that He’s been waiting eagerly for you to wake up and come. As time passes, you begin to realize that you’re not fearful or anxious about talking to Him. You’re not complaining. It just seems so natural.  It’s almost as though you are in a partnership with Him and He begins to show you what He plans to do in certain situations or in the lives of certain people, including yours.You begin to feel as though you are part of His plan.  You find yourself amazed at this relationship and then you realize that it is because the Father sees Jesus in you.  He is communicating with you just as He would with His only Son, the Savior of the world.

     Did you ever imagine Jesus putting you on every day, as you put Him on?  Did you ever think that Jesus in you can bring you into such a powerfully wonderful secret place with His father?  Did you stop to remember that that is exactly why He died-to gave you SAME Spirit, the SAME relationship with the Father and the SAME Peace that He carries at all times?

Did it ever occur to you that when the Father sees Jesus in you, He sees nothing but “wonderful”-a person in whom He is well-pleased.

What would that do to your prayer time?  What would that do to your joy in being with Him?  Would it make you more aware of the SAME anointing that is on you right now?  Acts 10 says that the FATHER anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit, “ready for action”. How He “went through the country helping people and healing everyone who was beaten down by the Devil.  He was able to do this because God was with Him.”

Have you realized that that is exactly what He wants to do in your life as well? The anointing of The Father, through the Presence of the Holy Spirit is upon you and in you.  Do you see it?  Do other people see it?
Are you ready for action? Are you ready to be God’s partner today? 
Did you know that God Himself is with you in every way possible?
He’s waiting for you to sign the partnership agreement and get to work.
Power Thought:

Are you ready?  Jesus is. What a glorious partnership!
