The Things We Follow

Apostle Grace Lubega

Mark 16:17-18(KJV); And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

In the life of the spirit, there are such things as confirmations and affirmations. Affirmations are the things that are defined in the nature of all things spiritual. They are what has been established in the spirit.

Confirmations on the other hand are the things that manifest as a result of the nature. They are what the scriptures have called the vindications of the spirit.

Christ is the son of God. That is an affirmation. He performed miracles wherever he went. That was a confirmation.

You are a child of God. You have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. You have been given all things that pertain to life and godliness. You are a partaker of the divine nature. These are affirmations.

Because you are all these things, you cast out devils, speak with new tongues, take up serpents, lay hands on the sick and they will recover. These are confirmations.

There are those who seek confirmations without affirmations. They want to manifest what they have not beheld or understood in the spirit.

God does not expect the Christian to seek for confirmations. He expects you to seek for the affirmation because when you do, the confirmations will follow.

He does not expect you to follow the things that must follow you.  As a child of God, your primary goal must be to have a full understanding of who you are because when you do, the things that follow you will come easily.

You heal because you know who you are. You demonstrate power because you know who is in you.
Glory to God.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

God does not expect you to follow the things that must follow you.  As a child of God, your primary goal must be to have a full understanding of who you are because when you do, the things that follow you will come easily.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for this Word. I thank you for who I am in the realm of the spirit. In you I live, move and have my very being. The greater one lives inside of me. Creation groans for my manifestation and I respond to it with distinction because I am a child of God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
