The Increase of God (8) : The Parable of the Talents
God has plans to increase His people in the earth so that everything He wants done can and will be done before Jesus comes. But one of the major qualifications for God's increase is Faithfulness. Faithfulness is doing What we're told, When we're told, the Way we're told. It is not popular with our fallen, sinful nature - but of course we're not supposed to be listening to that speak anyways.

The Increase of God (7) : Wealth of the Wicked
The Bible tells us not to desire other people's stuff, but that it is especially unwise not to desire wicked people's stuff. Particularly because they may not have gotten it the right way and you could be tempted to compromise your integrity to get increase the way they did. Being jealous and envious doesn't cause wicked people's money to jump into your pockets. But it does make you foolish and unhappy, because God has plans for the wealth of the wicked . . and you'll like it!

The Increase of God (6) : RIGHTEOUS Increase
Did you know God has increase for the Righteous? Oh yes! It's not the wicked God wants to grow in influence and prosperity. It is His people He empowers to increase. And who are the righteous? God said, "My righteous one shall live by faith." God increases those who live by faith. Do you live by faith? Then you can trust in God that your increase will come from Him the right way at the right time – and you won't have to sin to get it . .

The Increase of God (5) : Covenant Increase, Isaac
God made a covenant with the father of faith, Abraham. The Blessing in that caused Abraham to increase demonstrably. But that Covenant was not just for Abraham, it is for all his children of faith - which means the Blessing of Increase CONTINUES in the lives of you and me right now. We see that even after Abraham was long gone from his body, his seed after him continued to increase and become very rich . .

The Increase of God (4) : Covenant Increase, Abraham
The Blessing of God is in the Covenant with God, and Increase is in the Blessing. From the very beginning God's Blessing caused Increase in the lives of those who received it. Abraham is called the father of faith and we are his children, if we live by faith. If therefore Increase is in the covenant blessing we should find examples of increasing from Scripture in the lives of those in covenant with God . .

The Increase of God (3) : Little By Little
Increase can be summed up in the simple word... More. The increase of God therefore is More of what God can do for you and through you. Hallelujah! But He won't increase us everything at once. He's going to add to us little by little. God doesn't want to add to us so much that it messes us up. He wants us to grow up through passing tests where we are at right now, so we qualify for the greater things He has for us . .

The Increase of God (2) : The HOWS of God
God wants His people to increase and become great in the earth so they can bring Him glory. Greater increase, greater opportunity to bring Him glory. That greatness begins on the inside and shows up on the outside over time. We don't have any say over How the increase of God comes to us. That's God's business, His part. Trying to figure that out is not faith. Our job is to Believe and Obey. Hallelujah! Our part is the only part we have any control over . .

The Increase of God (1) : God Increases Me
"May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children" (Psalm 115:14 NKJV). Our God is the God of Increase. It is one of His holy covenant names - Jehovah Yaceph, The LORD our Increase. God does not need to increase personally, God's increase is for His Kingdom and His people. And when His people are increased, He is glorified . .

Desire III (15) : Standing Strong
We've been looking at the Scriptures concerning how to receive from God the things we desire. Research His Will as revealed in His Word is the first step. Then we make our Request according His Word. Then we believe we Receive when we pray. And Jesus said we would have it. But between the time of prayer and having it we have to stand on the Word in faith, not giving up any ground to unbelief and doubt . .
Pastor Nicholas
Romans 4:19-21 NASB95 — 19 Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; 20 yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform."

Desire III (14) : Standing in Faith
What do you do when it takes a long time for the answer to your prayers to show up? Jesus told us to Stand. We might say : stand in faith on the Word. There will be a time for standing, so that as James says, you become perfect and complete, lacking nothing. After you've done everything that lies with you and it still hasn't happened yet, what do you do? Stand and continue standing - and your faith will be turned to sight . .

Desire III (13) : Clear to Receive
Faith is of the heart, not the head. Our heart is our believer and our heart is our receiver. Therefore if something bothers our heart it can mess with our receiving what we have asked for in prayer. That's why it is so important to diligently guard our heart so nothing gets in the way of us receiving what we have asked for in prayer . .

Desire III (12) : The Golden Rule
God has so much good in store for His children, in this life and the next. But He wants His children to grow up. To be like Jesus. As we develop spiritually we ought not become more selfish, but greater Givers. Giver children of our great giver God. The Golden Rule was Christ's summation of the Law of seed time and harvest. Which He gave us intending that we grow up in Giving and increase in Receiving . .

Desire III (11) : Faith and Desire
Just because you want something doesn't mean God will get it to you. Grace is the expression of God's will and in it is everything we could ever need and rightly desire. But we don't receive according to what God can do, we receive according to our faith. That's why no matter how great God's ability, so few experience it. Faith is precious and faith is powerful. It is a choice to trust in the God you know . .

Desire III (10) : Receive When You Pray
Among the many important principles of effective prayer two stand out as most essential. 1) Know the will of God as revealed in the Word. 2) Believe you receive (or take) when you pray. Jesus told us if we desire some THING - we could ask for it in prayer and receive it right there. And we would have it. Every THING we need and every THING that is right for us to desire can be found promised in the Word. Part of our job is to ask and receive . .

Desire III (9) : Faith and Holiness
Christians who don't think you should desire and have Things think they are being holy because they consider receiving things by faith to be heresy - but they fail to see that living by faith is how you live as a Christian separate from the world and its ways. Living by Faith doesn't just mean being saved in Christ because you believed in Jesus once. It means your way of life - what you do, who you are, what you have - is done in and through your relationship with God and your belief in His Word.

Desire III (8) : Way of Faith
In order for us to receive from God we have to build our faith. Faith receives what Grace provides. Grace is God's part, faith is our part. If there was no grace, there would be nothing for faith to receive. If we have no faith we could receive nothing more from God than the common grace everybody has in simply existing. God will gratify your desires if you come to Him in faith . .

Desire III (7) : Ways to Gratification
God is the Gratifier of every good desire. Hallelujah! He doesn't want us to go without - He just wants us to get things the right way. Which includes getting them from Him. It is more important that we be like Jesus than for us to get what we want. We can follow the ways of the world or the ways of God. God's ways work!

Desire III (6) : Motivating Force
For years I didn't know what to do with desires. Like with many people, I had messed up my life in different ways by following wrong desires. Because if you want something strong enough, you'll do whatever is in your power to get it. Desire is a motivating force. Especially as Christians, we need not fear that motivational element – we need to Harness it! For good. In the will of God. Part of mastering our desires is conforming them to God's will and allowing His desires in us to fuel our activity . .

Desire III (5) : What Jesus Desires
In this time called the Church Age until Jesus appears in the Rapture or we meet Jesus on the other side of death, most people will never see Jesus with their physical eyes. But that doesn't mean they cannot see Him. Jesus prayed to the Father that we would See His Glory. God answers this prayer every time He reveals Christ's glory to us through His Word, by His Spirit, even in His people. How? With the eyes of our hearts, with the eyes of faith.

Desire III (4) : Desire of the Heart
If we don't know what the heart is we can't identify the desires of it can we. Spiritually speaking the heart is not your physical blood-pump, it is the core or center of your being. Like the heart of an oak tree, the heart of a watermelon. The Psalmist talks about the desires of the heart repeatedly. God knows your desires and He wants to gratify them in Himself . .

Desire III (3) : God's Presence
When God is in His place, everything else finds its place. When you seek God's Presence and His pleasure above all your other desires and your own desires - God will meet you with "the blessings of good things". Don't neglect God's Presence for what you desire. Desire His Presence, obey God and let God be the gratifier of your heart's desire . .

Desire III (2) : Coming to Jesus
Our greatest desire should be for God and His Presence. So many believers say they have a desire for God but are not giving God something to work with to gratify it. If you really do desire God, it will draw you to spend intimate time with Him, to abide in Him through a lifestyle of obedience – so that He can fulfill His promise of SHOWING UP (manifesting Himself) in your lives . .

Desire III (1) : Released from Sin
Jesus has forgiven us our debt of sin by becoming sin for us. The New Testament word for Forgiveness means to Release. When Christ forgave us of sin, He released us from the mastery of sin. But that release will not change your future actions unless you enforce what He did in your life. It is your choice whether or not you walk in the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. Which means to follow the leadings of the Spirit instead of what you want . .

Rapture and Redemption : Rapture in the Old Testament
In the Scriptures - which is only the written Word, the Bible - a mystery is something hidden in God, only to be revealed in the earth to men at the proper time. The Church, the Ecclesia of the Living God, was this kind of mystery in the Old Testament, revealed not directly or by name but through types and shadows, through characters and covenants. Because the Church was a mystery, the Rapture of the Church also was a mystery - which is now revealed for us to look forward to with great anticipation . .
