THE ULTIMATE CONQUEST

THE ULTIMATE CONQUEST

THE CONQUEST

Can you imaging, wanting to be so close to God, that you don't care about anything else? Can you imagine, you wanting to see His face, and making it your number one priority? You can't sleep without wanting to be with Him! You wake up, and the first thing you think about is wanting to be with the Lord! 

.Did you think it was even possible that you could want something so bad, that you can't wait for that day when you WILL see the Lord Face forever? YES! Every day! The conquest is there. The Conquest is there for you, and He feels the same way about you. His hunger is there as He awaits for you. "The Ultimate Conquest" when your presence meets with His. He waits, and waits for you to complete "The Ultimate Conquest." YES - YOU!

PSALMS 27:4

One thing have I (or you) desired of the LORD, that will I (or you) seek after; that I (or you) may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

PSALMS 42:1

As the hart panteth after the waters brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

PSALM 27:8
When thou sadist, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD will I seek.

THE PAINFUL SACRIFICE

Jesus did not just suffer the excruciating pain from the crucifixion, and the agony of all the sin in the world! Jesus was also experiencing the painful separation from God His father. He said "I thirst" Physical thirst I'm sure. But, also spiritual thirst too! Not wanting to be separated from His creator - His father; at the cost of being obedient to Him - for that painful sacrifice of Himself being crucified on the cross for all mankind, so they too could be reunited with their God, their creator, the Lord. As He still suffers today, while He awaits for you. His suffering didn't end at the cross. He still suffers in agony - praying in agony, waiting for you.

JOHN 19:28-34

28) After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
34) But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

HIS HEART WAS BROKEN IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

HIS DEEPEST HUNGER - HE AWAITS

His deepest hunger is for that very day when man will hunger to be with Him. He waits, and waits - till he can wait no more. So, He will do what ever it takes. God already sent His son. But still, that was not good enough. He will pour out His Holy Spirit on the land, to get people to take notice of Him. They will see Him - They will know it is God, and they will hunger after Him. But, some won't.

AMOS 8:11

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

 

"FILL MY CUP"

He awaits to accomplish His perfect will, to be with you - His deepest hunger - for you to hunger His presence the way He hungers your presence. To experience such hunger can only be born through Him, and to fulfill that hunger can only be filled by Him.

PSALMS 63:1+2

1) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2) To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

"FILL MY CUP LORD, I LIFT IT UP,
LORD!

COME AND QUENCH THIS THIRSTING OF MY SOUL;

BREAD OF HEAVEN,
FEED ME TILL I WANT NO MORE

FILL MY CUP, FILL IT UP AND MAKE ME WHHOLE"

BY: RICHARD BLANCHARD

HIS INTENDED PRESENCE

PSALMS 42:2

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 

Everyday, every waking moment He awaits your thirst. For you to reach out to Him, and cry ABA FATHER! 

HE IS ALMIGHTY - HE IS AWESOME

The perfect place to be. As he holds on tight to those who follow Him, and seek His Face. Under His Wings - is refuge, joy, strength, and victory.

PSALMS 91:1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

PSALMS 63:7

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

PSALMS 17:8
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings.

THE ULTIMATE REWARD

There is no greater thirst than that of the human spirit hungering to be re-united with his creator. That spiritual connection that will go un-tapped unless you take His hand that is reaching out to you. Your spirit, and His Spirit just awaits to be re-connected once again as it was always created to be.

JOHN 6:35
35) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

JOHN 7:37-38
37) In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying if any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow river of living water.

REVELATION 21:6
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

TOTAL SURRENDER

To surrender is a breath of fresh air. Just breath, and say the name of Jesus. He will do the rest. He feels your pain - He knows your sorrow - And only He knows how to heal you. He is capable, and all powerful. TRUST HIM!

MATTHEW 11:28-30
28) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29) Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

PSALMS 9:10

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

If you don't know as your Lord, and Savior, receive Him now! Just ask Him into your heart. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins - (your wrong doings.)

ROMANS 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

IN THE MIDST OFF HIS SPARKLE

IN THE MIDST

OF

HIS SPARKLE

NEHEMIAH 8:10..

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH

HIS SPARKLE

Have you ever felt down trodden, or, heavy laden? Perhaps, you feel sad, or un-motivated. No spark in your life, no joy, or, no strength - to make you to want to do anything? Well, believe me I can relate. You are not alone. It's a place where I am alone in my thought, a place I don't like, or need to be alone with my thoughts, because it's a lonely place where I can get into trouble. Sometimes, I can be my worst enemy. 

My thought process is different when I am there. I don't always make the right decisions, and sometimes I can be very spontaneous. Which is not a good thing when it comes to making decisions that can be life altering. It's a place that lacks clarity, and if there is no clarity, then there is no peace - no joy, no strength, and definitely no self confidence. Just confusion.

Then I'm left with the ultimate regrettable experience, which I hate, because I hate wasted time. Time is too valuable to waste. So, it's in that place God told me that I have to learn His will for me. His Joy - His Strength - His direction - His Perfect will. His Sparkle. But, I had to learn how to get there, and how to stay there. I had to learn that His Sparkle wasn't going to come to me. I had to go after His Sparkle. His Sparkle is in His midst.

TANGIBLE PLACE 

BE WHERE HE IS - IN HIS THRONE - IN HIS SANCTUARY - IN HIS PRESENCE 

PSALMS 119:135

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; teach me thy statutes.

When I go into praise, and worship with the Lord in my prayer closet. I have learned from God to go to Him with a humble spirit, and to come to Him expecting. I know, I can go to Him boldly because He has taught me how to worship Him. His Throne - His sanctuary is a tangible place where I can expect His presence to be real to me.

HE IS HIS GLORY - HIS THRONE IS HIS SANCTUARY OF GLORY - BECAUSE HE IS THERE.

I can expect the fullness of His power - in His presence. Being prepared when I enter His presence is a must. No matter how I'm feeling, I know the first thing I have to do is have a repented heart. I do make mistakes from time-to-time. I try not to - but, I do. He is very quick to show me too! It's impossible to enter into His presence, and not see any sin in your life.

PSALMS 150:1

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

ACTS 2:28

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance

PSALMS 89:15

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

THE BEAUTY OF HIS WORSHIP

When I'm worshiping God, He is worshiping too! He worships with me, and you. WOW! Can you imagine that!? God is worshiping with you! Of course it's glorious! How can it not be glorious! The Creator of Heaven, and Earth is worshiping with you! His countenance is overwhelming, and breath taking. To experience His Shechinah Glory is His will for me, and you. Experiencing His supernatural power IS where you get His joy, and strength. His joy, and strength is supernatural.

PSALMS 50:2

Out of Zion, the perfection of (HIS) beauty, God hath shined.

ZEPHANIAH 3:17

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

PSALMS 67:1

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

MATTHEW 25:23

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

HOW

God has called all of us to enter His Shechinah Glory. It's His gift to us. God knows that you can't become victorious unless you accomplish this. He has made a way, and He can teach you. But, it's conditional, and you will have to want to do what it's going to take to get there.

PSALMS 27:8

When thou sadist, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD will I seek.

DANIIEL 9:3

And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

HOSEA 5:15

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

2 CHRONICLES 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

JEREMIAH 33:11

The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of host: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.

WHY

God wants us to be victorious over the things that burden us, or the things that make us sad, and he wants us to be successful in all our endeavors as we seek His PERFECT Will. But, He also has another purpose for us to experience His Joy, and that is for His light to shine through us. So, we can also walk rightly before men. God wants all man to see His Light, and His Joy.

The Lord wants all men to experience the Love of Jesus. He can only accomplish this through a willing, and ready vessel. So, in the same way you want to experience His supernatural joy, so do others. But, they need to see the way. You are Gods victorious vessel. Don't you want to experience His victorious Joy? Then be His victorious Joy, and His victorious vessel for Him too!

ISAIAH 9:2

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

DANIEL 12:3

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

YOU ARE THE SPARKLE OF HIS JOY & STRENGTH

PRAYER OF SALVATION

If you don't know as your Lord, and Savior, receive Him now! Just ask Him into your heart. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins - (your wrong doings.)

ROMANS 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

THE PANGS OF GOD'S GLORY

 

"THE PANGS

OF

GOD'S GLORY"

ROMANS 8:28 - AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, TO THEM WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

COMING TO REALITY

Do you want victory over your battles, caused by your traumatic experience? Did you think your victory was going to come easy - without a fight? You can have victory! But, you are going to have to fight! The reality that comes with a traumatic experience can be quite numbing, and leave us frozen, and sometimes frozen in time. Traumatic experiences can shake us to our core if we let it. When they do shake us to our core, we have to find our way back to God's Glory. We have to go back to our core to fight - to the very center where we find our pain, to release our pangs, where God's Glory is. But, you are not alone. God is with you!

Coming back to God's Glory doesn't come with out a fight. It's a fight that doesn't come with out pain, and deep agony, pangs that don't go away, even after you have conquered, and walk in victory. The fight continues even when the battle has been won. Dominion was given to us. But, dominion was given away. You have to choose too take it back, and keep it - "The Pangs of God's Glory!

DOMINION GIVEN TO 

Do you know where your strength is to get your dominion back? First you have to remember when, and how it was taken - or - when you gave it away.

GENESIS 1:26+28 

26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over EVERY creeping thing that CREEPETH upon the earth.

28) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and HAVE DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over EVERY living thing that moveth upon the earth.

It was always God's intention for His creation MAN to have dominion over EVERYTHING that creepeth on the earth - EVERYTHING! God gave Adam, and Eve dominion over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. But, they didn't have to fight for it, they didn't earn it, and they didn't work for it. It was given to them freely, as a gift of His creation. And, It wasn't a gift to be taken lightly either!

DOMINION GIVEN AWAY

GENESIS 3:1-3+6 

1) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. and he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2) And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3)But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it lest ye die.

6) And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

THEY GAVE THEIR DOMINION AWAY! WHY? HOW COULD THEY!? Because, they thought they could have dominion without the pangs of God's Glory. They had not experienced the pangs of God's Glory. They did not fight that fight - that now, they would have too, because they didn't fight to keep it their dominion. Except now, their fight would be without God's Glory.

Adam, and Eve would no longer be able to walk with God in the garden. Their dominion was completely striped away, also, by removing them from the garden. The anguish they must have felt by being separated from God spiritually, and physically. The guilt; the shame, the regret, and wishing that if they could just turn back time to correct their mistake. The fact, that they were created in God's image, but could no longer see God in His image must have been torture. Adam, and Eve now could only see themselves in their new image - the image of sin, and shame.  

THEIR PANGS BEGIN

All three of them were cursed by God. All three would suffer all the days of their life - including all mankind, because of their disobedience to God. Adam, and Eve that were created in God's image would suffer their separation of experiencing God's Glory. It would be a VERY long time before man could experience God's Glory again. But, that day would come.

GENESIS 3:14-17

14) And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shall bruise his heel.
16) Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17) And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded the, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

THE PANGS OF GOD'S GLORY HAS ARRIVED  

The one person who could ONLY possibly comprehend what it would take to get God's Glory back to man, and the one person who would be strong enough to fight the pangs of death, could only be Jesus. Jesus is God's Glory! Jesus came into this world by the conception of God's Holy Spirit; but, born through the same sinful flesh - that same dust God created man from - that same dust satan had to eat for all eternity, because of satan's, and, Adam and Eve's disobedience to God.

But, Jesus came prepared - prepared to fight, and win - to give back God's Glory to man. This was God's plan to take back His creation back. Jesus made the path straight so  God would win, so, man could fight to win - so you could fight, to win. 

MATTHEW 26:38 

Jesus tells His disciples',  Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

MATTHEW 26:41

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

LUKE 22:44 

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

JOHN 19:34 

But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

JOHN 19:28+30 

28) After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 

30) When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

HEBREWS 12:2
Lookin 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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

THE PANGS OF GOD'S GLORY IS YOURS

There is only one comparison to that of the pangs of a woman going into child birth, and that is the loss of a child. The pain is unimaginable. I can only imagine the pain, and anguish of losing a child unexpectedly, or, due to natural causes especially if it is a young child. 

I have felt the pain when someone is experiencing this type of pain, only because God allowed me to feel it so I can pray for this person. Because of this, I will never say, I know how this person feels. I just felt a glimpse of their pain. But, I have not personally experience it. 

I have though, experienced the pain, travail, and the pangs of four natural child births, plus the joy of bringing a child into this world. Every women who has given birth to a child can relate to that.

Yet, these three contrasting emotions are so linked together, that God continuously used them through out the Bible to express His Love for us. It was through a woman that God brought these emotions to us through the Birth of Jesus Christ. But, it was also through a man to experience the pain of watching his son die on the cross. Mary, Joseph, and "GOD!" - experienced this same pain of losing a child. 

You say to your self, "BUT WHY GOD - WHY?" Why bless me with nine month of creating a child in my womb, to experience the travail, pain, and deep pangs to bring forth a child, then experience the joy of bringing life into the world from the same womb that I felt so much pain from labor of child birth, to experience death. "WHY GOD - WHY?" The fact that your question goes unanswered is just as painful as the experience itself, because you feel if this question was answered, the pain would go away - you would have closure! But, there is no closure, and the pain doesn't go away.

JOHN 16:21
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.

ISAIAH 21:3
Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

PHILLIPPIANS 1:29 

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake.

ISAIAH 26:17
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.

THE PANGS OF GOD'S COMFORT

God experienced all of those very same emotion! Probably heightened, because He IS GOD! He knew what the end result would be. But, He had to go from the beginning to the end of His plan: The Lord experienced the waiting for the conception of Jesus. He waited for Mary - the chosen virgin, and Joseph who also had to watch everything unfold before their eyes: Mary's nine months of pregnancy, Jesus' life growing up from an infant to a toddler, then He waited for Jesus to grow as a little boy to adulthood, watching Jesus being crucified on the cross, then turning His back on Jesus because of the sin in the world.

But, only for so long. God's pangs was also unbearable. God raised Jesus from the dead. It was now time for God's pangs to end for His son Jesus, so he could continuously comfort you. It is only God's miraculous power that is able to give such comfort. He never stops - He never goes away - He will ALWAYS BE BY YOUR SIDE!

You were gifted with a child. Now, you suffer with the same pangs you suffered through your child's child birth, because of his death. But, God has promised to continuously comfort you with His pangs of His Glory. You can only get that comfort from His pangs of His comfort, because He suffers with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. I know you don't want to go without comfort? Don't you need His comfort? Come to Him. Let the Lord comfort you!

  

REVELATION 21:4

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

If you don't know as your Lord, and Savior, receive Him now! Just ask Him into your heart. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins - (your wrong doings.)

ROMANS 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
