The Abundant Life

Bishop Clarence Williams • General
That is why He came, to give abundant life that is prosperous, blessed, fulfilling, loving, and gratifying.

"The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy.  My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." John 10:10 NLT

 

Are you living a rich and satisfying life? Do you need revival in your health, marriage, and ministry?  Revival starts within, and comes with restoration, healing, renewal, and recovery.  Jesus said in Luke 4:18-19, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." 

 

Jesus has already paid the price for your breakthrough.  He has already done everything that needs to be done for you to have total victory in every area of life.  That is why He came, to give abundant life that is prosperous, blessed, fulfilling, loving, and gratifying.   When you are sick, broke, sad, and lonely, you are living beneath God's best for you.  So, lift your self-esteem, take back your joy and peace, and claim your victory over strongholds that come to defeat you.  Since Jesus has already paid the price for it, why not walk in it? 

 

One of the weapons the devil uses to defeat us is FEAR, but it is so important to watch how you respond to that fear by refusing to speak negatively.  Continue to proclaim the positive, even if your situation seems bad.  Do not allow fear to cause you to worry and say things you should not be saying.  Replace that fear with FAITH (trust, confidence, assurance) in God.  The Scriptures read in Proverbs 23:7, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is heĀ°" That is why it is important to change your mindset concerning your situations.  Fear can be controlled, and God did not give it to you; therefore, He is very willing to remove it from you if you choose to be free. 

 

Stop looking at your situation and what is going on around you, and start listening to the report of God.  It will take bold people – people with a lion's heart – to speak the opposite of what they see, hear, and feel.  So, I encourage you today to be bold, strong, and confident, and say to yourself and anyone who asks of your situation, "IT IS WELL!"
