Arise!

Arise - To go up, Ascend, To Take A Stand - Arise also means; (Ginomai) - To come into being, to become!
We become what we practice the most, therefore, when a New Thing is introduced, it is difficult for the flesh to accept the fact that what you were, is no longer needed for where you are heading.
It is not that God has forsaking who you are, there is a need in the earth that is greater than who you were and He has called us to become the greater, and not settle for the least!
Yes, we understand that your religious practices were to do this, or do that, but God’s Call supersedes what you thought you were!
Paul/Saul - He was against those who were of The Way - But when God had a greater call for him in the earth, Paul allowed himself to be moved from that place so that God would use him in another !
Do not be so entangled with the yoke of bondage to the place you cannot move when God say so!
You have been called out of darkness into the Marvelous Light!
Many of us allow the circumstances surrounding the call, to deter us from adhering to the commands of God! Typically, we fall prey to the circumstantial evidence - Those things that surround the circumstance to cause you to come to a conclusion concerning the circumstance!
The report is negative
The balance in the account
The behavior of the husband or wife
All those things are circumstantial evidence - Which, do not get me wrong, is convincing, to the flesh, but we are not of the flesh, we are of the Spirit - God is The Spirit - So we do not settle for the evidence of the seen, but we “Now have faith to believe the evidence of the unseen, because of the Substance (Jesus The Christ)!
So do not become unsettled due to the circumstantial evidence - Let the evidence of the unseen settled you and change your perspective concerning your circumstance!
Arise - Become who God has called you to be - Believers of The God of all comfort, The God of a blessed assurance, The God of promise!
When you obey the Command of God and do not allow you to be hindered due to the circumstantial evidence, you will be able to Arise and become who God has purposed you to be in the earth!
And those things that you thought were impossible, God will make them possible!
He will show Himself faithful!
Peter was in a trance, God had in mind before the foundations of the world, to include everyone in The Promise!
Due to religious teaching, and extreme pious living towards that teaching, many believe that only a certain group would receive the promise!
Peter had trouble understanding that God is doing a New Thing! Many of us won’t allow ourselves to grasps hold of the New Thing because it is out of the ordinary!
Cornelius was devout - Pious towards God - Meaning, he was not allowing the circumstantial evidence disrupt his position with God!
Remember Martha, gave in the to the circumstance instead of remaining in the right position at The Feet of Jesus!
God has done a New Thing - Arise and follow His Command - Peter was stuck in trying to adhere to the religious ways he was taught - But God said Peter; Arise, kill and eat - Peter denied it three times - But God’s Will always Will Supersede your own ideologies!
Do not allow your preconceived mindset of thoughts hinder you from carrying out your assignment in the earth!
Many are in a Spiritual Paralysis because of their own thinking!
You’ve heard The Voice of God Speak - Telling you to Arise (To come into being, to become) - And some of you are still holding on to those previous attributes that are keeping you bound by your own thinking!
Do not allow you to miss His Visitation because you cannot or won’t allow your perspective to be changed!
Perspective - Point of view - Do not be so tied up into holding on to the old, to where you cannot see The Glory of God over your life!
You cannot realize that His Wonderful Works will require your actions!
Many of you won’t arise because you have been held bound by the ideas that you are too weak, you cannot do this or you cannot do that! Let me free you this morning; God is our source of energy, power, strength, wisdom and love, He alone has given us everything we need to accomplish the assignment in the earth!
Therefore; do not allow your previous perspective to hinder The Objective! Arise, realize that you will make it, you will become who God has purposed you to be in this earth! It Is Already Done!
Do not be fearful of the outcome - Just do it! God already knows, therefore; set your mind on Him, not allowing your mind to be moved by the circumstantial evidence! God has the final say!
Peter was troubled concerning the vision he had, but that did not hinder The Spirit from providing the instructions to the assignment!
Regardless of how you feel about the circumstance, the instructions won’t change! God’s Plan will still go forth, so you may as well get up out of the old and receive This New Thing that God is doing right now!
Do not starve you because you want to hold on to the old thing! You’ve been touched by The God of all lights, behold, He has made all things new, the former things have passed away!
You have received Christ, therefore; walk in Him! Because when you walk in Him, He allows you to be rooted and He will build you up, which will cause you to Arise and Become!
Because you now know that it is not by my power, not by my strength, but By His Spirit!
My faith in Him causes me to abound - Even when it seems impossible to man, I will abound because of His Holy Spirit!
God has done a New Thing - Your perspective must change in order to ascertain the New Thing!
Peter was confounded because God was allowing His Spirit to be imparted to the Gentiles!
Peter had trouble with the vision - Where there is no vision, the people perish - That is not only for the Pastor/Shepherd - it is for you too! Because vision is to get Revelation - Revelation is the way God makes Himself known to you and to me!
An Arabian Proverb says; “A one-eyed man among the blind is a man full of sight”
It does not matter concerning the physical - as long as you allow yourself to be moved in The Spirit - God will show you greater things!
He will allow your physical inadequacies to be magnified!
God will manifest Himself faithful - He will reveal His Plan to you in due time - But wait, He has already revealed Himself through His Son!
He came down through forty and two generations - He became as you and as me - This Gospel will be preached into all of the earth!
Regardless of your thoughts or your feelings now - God has made Himself known in the earth!
While Peter was still wrestling with the vision, Cornelius was getting ready to receive The Promise of God!
Cornelius Arose, and positioned himself for the reception - The wide receive sometimes will have to ascend in order to receive the ball!
Cornelius believed God - His prayers and giving had became a memorial with God - So God honored him and sent The Promise to him!
Nothing can hinder my blessing!
Because I know now that God knows me, He cares for me, and He knows what troubles me, for He created all things, even the very thing/person that attempts to create the weapon to try and destroy you, but because of the knowledge of Christ (The Anointed Messiah) in the midst of it I have thanksgiving in my heart!
Cornelius, did not even realize that he, naturally, was excluded from the promise - concerning the Jewish traditional thinking!
But who knows that the traditions of man are of none effect when God has pronounced His Glory on your life!
Therefore, I have thanksgiving in my heart because God has given the command that you and I are in! So I refused to be cheated by the traditions of man, so I Arise, and realize that I am complete in Him!
I’m ready for the impartation of The Promise - Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him!
Because God had revealed to Peter that anyone whom He has touched, shall not be called common!
The Bible said that when Peter got to the house of Cornelius - whom had gathered everyone connected to him - Peter opened his mouth and spoke The Truth!
