God’s works witness the reality of the relationship.
Scripture: John 17:22-23
John 17:22-23 says, “And the glory which You gave me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” Jesus prayed the maturity of His relationship with the Father on us. He wanted us to participate in the same depth and quality of relationship that He and the Father had. As our relationship with the Father matures, the works of Christ follow, determined by God’s purpose. God’s works witness the reality of the relationship. The Spirit knows whether to heal or judge, to kill an ‘Ananias’ or resurrect a ‘Lazarus’! The Spirit knows what God has assigned and how to get us there. In John 5:19 Jesus said, “…the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do…” Relationship with God is simple, He speaks, we obey! We do not follow our head with its own personal thoughts, ambitions or our natural reasoning and logic. We must learn to move out of our heart! That is the only way that the nations are going to know that Jesus is real. Relationship opens the door to demonstrate God is real. The glory comes for fireworks. Are we getting prepared to handle the glory? It is obvious that Jesus prayed it on our life and gave it to us! Will we receive, will we wholeheartedly pursue relationship with our Father? Harvesting the nations can only be assigned to those who know God intimately!
- Pray that only that which glorifies God will see success in this month. Everything that does not glorify God shall be impeded. Only the righteous generation shall see success (Ps 24:3-6)
- Command the gates of the month to be lifted up so that the King of glory may be ushered in to do His bidding. (Ps 24:7-8)
- For any army to win a war, they will ensure their air-force is in place. Whether it is simple Calvary in ancient times, or soldiers positioned on the city walls, or on high hills or elevated places, these have the best view of the battle.
- Speak to the heavens over the month and ask them to declare the glory of God. Command the sun, moon, stars and every heavenly being to do God\’s bidding, and to do that which they were created for – to give God pleasure (Ps 19:1, Rev 4:11)
- Ask that the heavens will bring forth their best for you in this month. When the heavens agree with God\’s purpose for you, then they will speak to the earth and the earth will bring forth its best for you. Remember almost everything you require comes from the earth; whether food, minerals, buildings, etc therefore it should be aligned with God\’s purposes to be most productive. (Hos 2:21-22, Ps121:6,Lev 26:3-5,18-20)
