God has already given you everything you need; Stop asking him for what you already recieved.
Chapter one
Why are you still asking for things you have been given?
Is God a liar? Of course not! Then if he tells you that he already gave you something he is telling the truth, even if it seems hard to believe.
1-John-5-10-Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony of his Son? There is one thing you need to have settled in your mind; is the word of God true? If it is true then we must believe it and not only believe it but begin to act on it from the moment of reading this little booklet. Not because I said so but because I have pointed out to you the truth in his word and you have a choice to make afterwards to believe or not believe. As for me I believe that the word of God is as true as if he stood in front of me saying theses things to me. I am writing today about the truth of God’s word, to show you the reader that you have already been given certain things, and if you have already been given those things you can hardly ask God for them again, can you?
For instance God says in his word;
Romans-12-6-God has given us the ability to do certain things well.
Look at the meaning of the word has, what does it actually mean? Has =have, =be full of, it’s yours, it exists with you, it’s already in your possession. Example=Jimmy has a watch: what does jimmy have, he has a watch, he’s not going to get a watch but already has a watch, and it’s already his.
Now look at Romans 12-6 again! What does it say? “God has given” that means God already gave it. He is not going to give it sometime in the future but has already given it to us. God has given you the ability to do certain things well. You need to find out what those certain things are.
Let’s look at another scripture where god says he has done something already! Luke 10 -9- and I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and to walk among serpents and to crush them. Nothing shall injure you.
What does God say here in his word? “I have given you authority.” Now remember have means the same as has, it’s already yours it’s in your possession. You are not waiting to get something you already own it. Jesus said he gave it to you, but you have to use it for it to work, he won’t do it for you.
You don’t need to come to God every time Satan or an evil spirit comes around and ask him for the power to get rid of them. He already has given you the power; you! have to do something with what he gave you. He gave you authority to get rid of Satan, there’s no point in annoying God’s head looking for something you already have.
“God has already given you everything you need; Stop asking him for what you already recieved
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you imagine sitting in your car driving around and you’re stopped by a policeman and he asks you what you’re doing? And you answer I’m looking for my car, and he asks the make and number of the car and you tell him, and he looks at your number plate and says to you, you fool your in your car driving it. This is how ridiculous it is asking God for something he already gave you. Can you now understand the point I am making, If God says he gave it to you, it’s yours, you have it and it’s up to you to use it.
Galatians 4-6-and because we are his sons /daughters, God has sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, so now we can rightly speak of God as our dear Father. -7- Now we are no longer slaves but God’s own sons. And since we are his sons, everything “he has” belongs to us, for that is the way God planned.
This scripture is amazing when you realize what it is actually saying; “Everything God has” {not some things} belongs to us, because that is the way God planned. {Belongs- means it is yours already. My watch belongs to me, my car belongs to me, if anyone tried to take them away I could call the police to help me and they would, because these things are mine.}
If you were to take this scripture on its own you would still be amazed by what it is God has given to us? Everything God has, what does God have? “Everything!” Everything in creation belongs to God and yet God gave it over to us to manage to look after as our own; the enormity of this scripture blows your mind. This is all God’s plan not mans plan but God’s to give us his children everything; it’s awesome to even begin to think about and yet this is exactly what God wants you to think about. He is sick and tired of you being robbed by Satan of everything that belongs to you.
Hebrews -9-15-Christ came with this new agreement so that all who are invited may come and “have forever” all the wonders God has promised them. Awesome! Just awesome, God’s plans were to give us everything and to have all the wonders he has promised.
Were you invited to come to Jesus? You were if you accepted him as lord and savior. And if you came then you are entitled to “have forever” all the wonders God promised you. In the scripture about the prodigal son, the father speaks to the eldest son and says to him; Luke-15-31-Look dear son, his father said to him, you and I are very close and “everything I have is yours.”
Did you note that Jesus said the exact same words to us, that the father said to the prodigal sons elder brother. He was quoting God’s words as usual. Everything I have is yours! You could have done as the youngest son done; you could have got it and spent it like he did. But you never even asked for it, and all the time it was already yours. The youngest son took all that belonged to him as his inheritance and blew it all on wine women and song. He knew it was his and so took it. The other half of the inheritance was yours, it was yours to use as you wished, but you didn’t use it you left it laying there. Don’t be like the eldest brother use your inheritance to further God’s kingdom.
Ephesians-1-11-In him we also have been made God’s heritage; and we have obtained an inheritance, for we have been foreordained, the righteousness of Christ Jesus.
We were given an inheritance to use not to be left lying dormant but your inheritance is meant to be continually used as it is needed.
1-Corinthians 1-4-I can never stop thanking God for all the wonderful gifts “he has” given you, now that you are Christ’s; | “he has” enriched your whole life. “He has” helped you speak out for him and “has” given you a full understanding of the truth; what I told you Christ could do for you “has happened!”
Now you “have” every gift and blessing;” every spiritual gift and power for doing his will “is yours” during this time of waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
All the wonderful gifts “he has” given you. “He has” enriched your whole life. “He has” helped you speak out for him
What I told you Christ could do for you “has happened!”
Now you “have” every gift and blessing;” every spiritual gift and power. Doing his will “is yours.”
Look at the things God has done for you! Speak these words out into the atmosphere; let them be filled with the life of the creator as you speak his words out.
If I were to stop here you would have enough to think about seriously for the next year or two, thinking over “all” the things God “has” given to you.
Has God given me peace? Yes Jesus said my peace I give you.
John-14-27 I am leaving you with a gift; peace of mind. Yes peace has been included. You can’t ask God for peace because he already gave you his peace, you have to stand your ground when Satan calls, trying to steal it from you.
What about Satan and demons and evil spirits did he leave us anything to use against them?
Mark 16-17- Those who believe shall use “My authority” to cast out demons, and they shall speak new languages, etc, they will be able to lay hands on the sick and heal them.
Did you notice that Jesus said those who believe shall use “my authority,” not their authority but his authority? There is a big difference between using your authority and using his authority, guess whose authority that Satan will bow before?
Is there any point in asking Jesus for authority? No! Why? He already gave it to you. You have to use that authority over Satan and evil. Don’t expect to see Jesus coming to the aid of a Christian who is under attack from Satan and his evil spirits, not when he told you to do something about him, - cast him out of the situation.
Ephesians-1-3-blessed be God, the father of our lord Jesus Christ, “who has” blessed us with all spiritual gifts in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus. Do I have the gift of tongues? The word says; all spiritual gifts Do I have the gift of healing? The word says; all spiritual gifts. When the word says all spiritual gifts it means that exactly.
You may say but I don’t think I have the gift of healing, how do you know? Have you ever laid hands on someone sick and wait and see God heal?
Every Christian has the gift of healing in them because Jesus said go into the world, preach the word, heal the sick. If Jesus said it you have it. Mark -16-15-19- go out into the entire world etc.
Colossians-1-13- “he has” translated me out of the kingdom of darkness and translated me in to the kingdom of his dear Son.
Chapter two
Everything you could ever want and need has been covered by these few scriptures because they declare the fullness of God’s plans for you his child, and he desires that you walk in the light and begin to act in the manner of a king as you are described in;
Romans-5-17-for if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
Revelation-1-6-he has gathered us into his kingdom and made us kings and priests of God our father. {Amplified bible}
Everything has been given to us and we are even declared royalty and kings of life and a royal priesthood. Act out your birthright.
Stop asking for what you have already been given its all there for you to see in God’s word. Take hold of this message and be bold, be strong for the lord our God is in you. You can pray for understanding about all that God has given you, you can pray for that truth to go from your mind down into your spirit, and when God’s word takes hold of your spirit, then miracles healings signs and wonders will naturally follow. This wont happen overnight, even though you now know you have all these things from God, you will have to take time every day to absorb theimmenseunderstanding thatyou havebeen given whatGod owns. And of course Satan will come against you in every way to try and make you doubt that all this was meant for you, he will lie and cheat and deceive you into thinking your not worthy, of all that God said. Remember he is a liar and there is no truth in him, so when he tells you those things and he will, don’t believe him, believe the very opposite of what he says. Remember something else that is very important, which should help you understand what you just learned. Every Child of God has been given the very same things as you, this wasn’t just a personal message for you, it’s for every child of God. When we think this is only for me then the devil comes and tries to get you thinking your not worthy, why would God give someone who sins as much as you do all this, don’t be silly it wasn’t meant for you it was meant for holy people, and your not holy you’re a sinner. Lies all lies, you are holy and not a sinner.
Ephesians 1-6 long ago even before he made the world, God choose us, through what Christ would do for us, he decided then to make us holy, without a single fault, - we who stand before him covered with his love. His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us
into his family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to.
You were made holy without a single fault from before time began, that’s love in action.
GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING, YOU NEED. SEARCH OUT IN HIS WORD WHAT” EVERYTHING” IS AND CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN.
