I May Be In It, But I Am Not Of It!

God’s Truth Covers You

A whale is a mammal, which means it has lungs, but has the ability to hold its breathe for extended periods of time, thus the reason it comes up for air periodically.

Mammal

Lungs, not gills

Warm blooded

Dies by drowning:

If they get caught in a net, they cannot surface to breathe, thus they drown

They become beached

The deep ocean provides assistance to support their weight

Their blubber is enormous and when they are beached, they suffocate from the weight of their blubber. . .

Although they are in the ocean, they are not of it the ocean - They are marine mammals, so their identity is not a fish, but a Whale - Yes, they may be in the ocean, but yet they are covered by design to survive in a protected area within surroundings that are not intended for them to be!

One of the reasons we cannot remain steadfast is due to the facts, not The Truth - Some of us remain tangled up because we hold on to those things that God has delivered us from!

The facts say that you are in a state of sickness - But Truth says; “By His Stripes, I Am Already Healed!”

The Bible, Pastor Jones, is truly stated, but only what God says is Truth - He says that it pleased Him to bruise His Son for our sake!

You cannot allow the facts surrounding you, pressure you into speaking against the Truth God has spoken over you!

Yes, the famine was surrounding them, but God says to build! His Word is true and you have been set apart for a time such as this! John 17:17 (NKJV) 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

Don’t be in such a rush to get out of it, work out your own salvation and you will be certain that next “in it” you come to, I will know for sure that I am not of that!

John 17:15-16 (NKJV) 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

I will not allow this circumstance to define me!

Because I have Greater in me!

The Truth tells me that although, I may be in a place as to where I look out of place, God has provided for me a way to sustain while I am in it!

Goshen - The Best Land - In the midst of the worst circumstances. . .

In Jeremiah 29:11 “11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Before you can shout for that text, which is familiar, you must realize why God said this to the people! You see, Jeremiah had to instruct the people to go into captivity, but be not of captivity! Jeremiah 29:4-7 “4 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who were carried away captive, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”

How can I seek peace when I am in a mess? When you have been instructed by God to go in, then you have a remaining rest that He has already provided substance that you will be alright!

God has planned your life, He understands that you may experience dread at times, but be not conformed to the circumstance, but be transformed by telling you heart and mind that God is for me, and He is with me, therefore I may be in it, but I am not of it!

We have been convinced too long that sin is our greatest problem, but nothing could be further from The Truth!

Because Jesus The Christ took care of sin on the cross, the Cross, which represents victory, and when you deny self daily, other words, cast down those thoughts that attempt to rise above the God Whom resides within you!

Then you will begin to operate from a place of victory then you will be able to Psalms 68:19 “19 Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah”

Yes Daily. . .

Goshen is a protected place in the midst of dire circumstances - Therefore, we come to be revive in knowing that although I may be in this, it is not in me, therefore I have victory over the circumstance!

Notice now, that even in the midst of the oppression, God covered them from all that Pharoah had to endure!

But yet, He had them place the blood on the door post, in order for them to be recognize!

You must take off the old and put on the new - I know the Bible declares that there is nothing new under the sun, but that is referencing things, not you!

Because you have taken off the old and have become new - You have to realize that you are not of that any more, you have authority in the earth! You have purposes to fulfill in the earth!

Jesus Christ, had purpose - He entered into His Goshen place, which was His Mind to do the Father’s Will!

You see, your Goshen, best land is in your thinking - When you thinking has changed and you become steadfast in knowing The Word of God Keeps You! Then come hell or high water it won’t matter because you realize that I am not of this because I am of Him!
