PROPHETIC WATCH
Days of heaven on earth...days of drawing from heaven...days of living this life from his life. We are embarking on a new adventure. The church is being summons to arise to a new level. These are the days when the summons will bring about a change...a change in the atmosphere of ministry, a change within the way we conduct ourselves in his presence.
We are stepping over into a season of transcending power. Where walls have seemingly been raised to block the strategies of heaven, and the things we know have seemed locked away...are all about to change.
There are levels to attain where all that has been wrought can and will be obtained...where it shall be experienced in its fullness. Even supernatural things that have seemed for some to be beyond their reach, will be attainable.
There is a propelling force that will propel those who have determined to walk by faith to new heights...to go upward and onward...and that will lift them up to a new dimension of not only learning how to touch the miraculous, but learning how to walk in the miraculous.
The doors are about to swing open, and those who have pressed in by faith to the secret places of the Most High are going to experience avenues of grace and glory like never before.
These are the last days, and days when the work shall begin to step up to greater heights, and the pull of heaven is going to call many upward to live at a new level, and all that shall be done will be done...and many will have cause to rejoice. |

Greetings!
Everything we experience within the kingdom of God comes to us by degrees. We grow and change by degree. We are equipped by degree, and we apprehend the things of God by degree. We never end up from where we started. Our life is a journey. How we move from one degree to another degree is by faith. It is only as we discover the plan and purpose of God for our lives that faith enables us to make the transition from one level to the next. We are to go from faith to faith! |

FAITH TO FAITH
Taking Your Walk to New Levels |
"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith."
Romans 1:17
Romans chapter ten, verse seventeen says, "So then, faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." The source of our faith is the Word. F.F. Bosworth once said, "Faith begins where the will of God is known." In other words, the will of God is the Word of God, and through God's Word we discover what belongs to us. It is our faith that enables us to receive all that God has provided, but first, we must know what his will is. We discover all that he has willed for us through his Word.
On many of the covers of our Bibles we see stated the words, "The Old and New Testament." The word "testament" is a term describing God's covenant with man. But it is more than just a revelation of what he has oath to us. It is also a revelation of his disposition toward us. All that Christ came to do is God's disposal of blessing - what he decreed as a covenant, as his eternal disposition. We have to understand that the Word is literally the transfer of the wealth of heaven to those who believe, and the executioner of God's will is the Holy Spirit. Paul wrote to the church of Ephesus and stated it this way: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" (Eph 1:3). The word "spiritual" is PNEUMATIKOS, which refers to things belonging to the Holy Spirit. We are blessed in Christ, and that blessing is confirmed upon us by the Holy Spirit. But just as Brother Hagin once said, "It isn't going to fall on us like ripe cherries off of a tree," we have a part to play in apprehending the promises of God and the blessings of God!
That's where faith begins. It starts off as a seed and it grows up the more you apply yourself to apprehending the will of God. Think of it as a journey - steps that lift you up from one level of faith to the next level of faith. It is just like in our educational system. You start off in first grade and you learn what you can receive at that level, then you are promoted to the next grade, and the next, and the next, until you finish high school. Even then, it doesn't stop. There is college and more college, degrees upon degrees, as much as you choose to have.
As you feed on the Word, you become more and more equipped with the knowledge of God's will. Faith takes that knowledge and seeks to bring it into a personal experience. That means your faith is the element that introduces you to encounters of a heavenly kind. Your faith is meant for you to pull things out of that unseen realm into the here and now! There is a place of spiritual growth and development where your faith takes you to a transcending level. It is sort of like a ship that encounters deep swells on the sea. It climbs up and over the top of each swell. Your faith can take you up and over the challenges you face every day. It can enable you to become so accomplished in drawing from your heavenly supply where you experience the fullness of the blessing of the gospel, even while subject to earthly conditions.
Your faith is like the hand of your spirit - it learns how to take things out of the spiritual realm and transfer them over into this natural realm. As you move from level to level, from faith to faith, you reach a place where you tap into a dimension with God where all things are possible. That's where Jesus lived, and why he was able to move in and out of that unseen realm.
Hebrews chapter eleven says, "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Heb. 1:3). We could say it this way: The Word is the creator constructing everything that is seen through the force of faith. We know that the creator (the Word) is always considered greater than the created (things we see). Therefore, faith, which is a product of the Word, is a creative force that can construct places where you encounter things that are greater than things which are seen. John said, "Faith is the victory that overcometh the world" (1 John 5:4). One translation says, "Faith...masters the world." Or, a better way of saying it is, "...it is the master of the world! Everything you need to master in life comes by knowing that faith works hand in hand with the creative power of the Word! As you step up to new levels of faith, you will discover how to move in and out of that unseen realm, where you are able to pull heavenly things into this earthly dimension.

PRAYER
Father, I thank you for the Word. I thank you today, that as I feed on your Word that my faith becomes stronger and stronger. Lord, I ask you to take me to new levels of faith. Let me step up into a place where I discover, more and more, how to pull things out of that heavenly realm into this earthly realm. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. |

CONFESSION
Jesus said, "All things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23). I am a believer, and I am growing in my faith to where I know that the things in this realm are subject to change as I take hold of the Word. I will come to new heights of faith. I will discover new ways of walking in faith that will enable me to draw from my heavenly supply. I'm about to step over into a new dimension. Things are about to change supernaturally in my life, because I am moving up from faith to faith! |

DEFINING MOMENTS...
We know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. What we also need to know is that there is a spirit of faith (2 Cor. 4:13), a force within us that comes from that spiritual realm that knows how to take hold of spiritual realities. To have the kind of faith that knows how to pull things out of the unseen realm into this physical, seen realm demands a transcending mentality. Something within you has to get up on the inside, with such a resolution of conquering capability that literally, nothing is impossible. The way that is accomplished is by going from faith to faith - from one level to the next level. When your mind is completely renewed to the creative power that faith in God's Word can produce, then you will step into a new dimension of living. "For we walk by faith, and not by sight!" (2 Cor. 5:7).
In His Grace,
Pastor David
