John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." Jesus said I've come to give you life and life abundantly. He promises that living waters will spring from within us to everlasting life. God is all about life – super abundant life. In the Book of Revelation we see the River of Life flowing from the Throne of God and the Tree of Life that is for the healing of the nations. The devil is the thief. He is the taker. God is the Giver! Make sure never to accuse the Lord of what the devil is doing. That would be like calling good evil or evil good.

I. God is Life
John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
Jesus said I've come to give you life and life abundantly. He promises that living waters will spring from within us to everlasting life. God is all about life – super abundant life. In the Book of Revelation we see the River of Life flowing from the Throne of God and the Tree of Life that is for the healing of the nations. The devil is the thief. He is the taker. God is the Giver! Make sure never to accuse the Lord of what the devil is doing. That would be like calling good evil or evil good.
Isaiah 5:20 "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
II. The Exact Representation of the Father
Jesus made it really clear that He only has good things to hand out to us. All He demonstrated was as an EXACT REPRESENTATION OF THE FATHER. He did say in the world you will have tribulation, but to take heart for He has overcome the world. He is all about getting His world into our world. Jesus heals, delivers and gives life just as He demonstrated. This is a fallen world but God has us here to partner with him in bringing His perfection into people's lives. It is quite amazing that He uses us, the imperfect vessels, to be dwelling places for His perfection – even by the Person of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled."
BLESSED: g3107. makarios; supremely blessed; by extension, fortunate, well off: blessed, happy.
God wants you happy, blessed, thankful, overflowing with His love being captured by His goodness to you. Just imagine your most joyful moment in the Lord and it cannot compare to the highest joy available to you from heaven's reality. Likewise, it is the same with His grace, peace and love.
III. Experience Heaven and Give it Away
The greatest amount that we have tasted on earth cannot compare to the degree that we would experience in heaven. But that is exactly what God is after – heaven on earth!
Matthew 6:10 "Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven."
James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."
Align your heart with the truth that God want to pour into you every good and perfect gift by His Spirit. He is the greatest Giver of all. There is no lack to those who seek Him, who put Him first. (Psalm 34:10, Matt. 6:33) He wants you to experience and know the fullness of His goodness and love everyday. For what you receive you can give away! Receive from Him today knowing that you will have His goodness to give away.

Have you ever struggled to live for God? To be a living sacrifice? Even to just do the things that please Him? Typically, the issue lies in the focus and "the means" of how that is to happen. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1 It is through tending to our relationship with God, our communion with the Spirit and focus on the Lord that we are transformed and able to live after His desires. It's all about the relationship.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out. Leviticus 6:12-13 Recently I had a dream encounter where the Lord spoke to me that there is a greater need for more "fire on the altar." In this it was apparent that there was a need for prayer to permeate and infiltrate the atmosphere of the region. I could literally sense that the atmosphere was not what it needed to be - more prayer was needed.
