Expect the overflow, Ephesians 3:20

Enlargement- Divine overflow-

The Goodness of God in the land of the living.

The Lord has great things in store for each of His people. Daniel 11:32 “Know God…Display strength (be strong)…Take action (do exploits).”

When ordinary Christians decide to reach for an extraordinary life= A grand adventure! “Spiritual truth is learned by atmosphere, not by intellectual reasoning. God’s Spirit alters the atmosphere of our way of looking at things, and things begin to be possible which were never possible before.” -Oswald Chambers

Acts 4:13 “…marveled and took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”

John 15 – Abide in Him (the vine) and our Joy will be full and prayers answered- fruitfulness The Lord longs to give us much more than we may have ever thought to even ask for. When we go over into “enlargement” and press into the Supernatural overflow we are entering into NEW TERRITORY. Guess who’s turf you’re invading? The enemy attacks you and your family and your possessions with: The thief comes to kill steel and to destroy. John 10:10. He brings; Distractions, Opposition, and Oppression, to try and destroy your faith in God. We were redeemed and commissioned for the Front Line of battle. 2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” Let us arise above the norm, mediocre to the level that the Lord has prepared for us to arise to. He longs to show Himself strong. There is more at stake here than even the “here and now”. This lifetime is a training ground for eternity. God wants to develop us, stretch us, and enlarge us, to prepare us for ruling and reigning with Him here and now and in the ages to come. There are lessons to learn and our faith must grow. We have this lifetime to get ready for the next. He has a plan and a purpose for us here and now and in the ages to come. Each of us has a course to finish here -How we finish here will determine our position there. Matthew 25:21
