The War of Greatness
(Prophetic word by steve manning)
“Don’t forget you must first belong to God, says the Sovereign Lord! At any time the way of greatness can rise inside of you and it must give way to My Greatness. There is the greatness of self, of flesh, and of crisis in you. These can be so big and as they work inside of you, they overshadow and eclipse your spirit from MY Greatness. These things want your attention by distracting you from My great and mighty power at work in you. Let God arise. Resurrection Life dwells within you. Even the word “resurrection “means to “rise up.” So rise up and be captured by My greatness. This begins in your mouth. My word can have great authority in your mouth. Faith is spoken and it pro-fesses the greatness of God. I’m releasing a life flow in you right now as you yield and release your confession of My greatness. There is a miracle in your mouth. For this war is won in the release of My Word. I touch your lips and My praise is coming forth to override and overcome the deadly. There is life in praise!!! Let My Sovereignty arise again in your heart .
My word says, “a servant is not greater than his Master.” Allow me to master those places. You must yield these “little lords” to a higher Lordship. Out of Your spirit you must respond to God’s greater ability to arise over these things that want to rule and be king.
My Word says, “I will clap my hands for the Lord is King, King over all the earth is He.” Call your “earth” to submit to His ruler-ship. Let Him be King over all “your earth”. He has won the victory to be king over your self-life, your mind, will, emotions, your flesh, your crisis, and your tests. All of these are submitting to the Most High. Let every shaking of faith bow to His greatness. Sing, speak, testify, tell, verbalize, declare and acknowledge that I AM. I call you to rest in the I AM. I AM the highest above all, and forever, Supreme. Remember I became the lowest in my death, burial and then RESURRECTION. The way of greatness is seen in My Son. Behold Him, Jesus, the Father’s Great One.
Let your greatness give way to a higher Greatness. Is My shed blood a small thing? Is the bleeding Lamb of God a little sacrifice? Is my Resurrection from the dead an undersized Victory? Is the hand of the Lord short? Did I forget something at the Cross in this great plan that I released in the earth? Get out of the way. Give way and My Greatness will rise & consume “for death is swallowed up by Life!” Come Magnify – Glorify and Exalt Me and the little kings in you will bow. Take your hands off and put it into greater hands. Yes, nail-scarred hands. For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. His accomplishments cannot be reversed. “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
SOVEREIGN GOD >THE GREAT KING > LORD OF LORDS >RULER OF THE HEAVENS AND EARTH > FOREVER I AM!”

What Does A Blessed Life Look Like?
by Steve Manning
Gen 49:29
They have not seen but yet they believe!! It is those who are living out of the abiding life of Christ .They posses a life of giving & generosity that considers the poor, needy, orphan, and widow. They live doing something for “the least of these” that Christ spoke of in Matthew 25. (See Acts 20:35, Prov. 22:9.) A blessed life is not exempt from persecutions, trials, tests and sufferings for Christ’s sake. There is an understanding and acceptance of chastening & pruning so that more fruit may be produced for the Master. A Life flow is present in a visible growth of faith, trust and believing God. They are moving the kingdom. They are never far from Word of God. Others looking on see and marvel at a response so different than the world’s response to conditions. Storms come to both believer and unbeliever, but it’s the foundation of a life that is the difference. The foundation of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, buried and resurrected. They know their blessings do not speak of their goodness but it tell and testifies to the God of all blessing. It proclaims who God is not who they are. The Bible says, you are blessed if reproached for Christ sake. If one is walking in the righteousness of Christ and embracing purity and holiness, there comes a favor and fulfillment. The word of God and the fear of God are influencing decisions and creating an atmosphere of goodness. Scripture speaks, of promised blessings added to a life. One example is a blessing that comes from reading and obeying the book of Revelation. See Rev 1:3. There is a fragrance of blessing seen in ones posterity, heritage, legacy and, name. Blessings can be seen in ones offspring, home and work. Hospitality and friendship are common virtues. Virtuous attitudes are revealed in a teachable spirit, and by unassuming & humble ways. A blessed life displays prosperity in the work of your hands. The fruit of good works are demonstrated. Divine protection covers & Gods provision of abundance comes their way. God’s Presence is often emerging in acts of love. The Bible speaks of the blessings of heaven, of earth, of breast, womb, growth, abundance, & multiplication. There must be the presence and atmosphere from inner joy and peace. God’s eternals are at work. One has rights to the Book of Life, Tree of Life, Water of Life, & the Crown of Life. Possessing the gates of your enemies is promised territory .They rejoice, their name is in the Book of Life. Forgiveness of sins, salvation & redemption are causing them to be a possessor of Eternal Life, and a partaker of His Divine Nature. See Duet 28:8. Duet. 33:23. Is. 44:3.
A Word from Kathy: Empty or Full
02/04/12 09:54 AM Filed in: Devotional | Word From Kathy
Empty or Full
“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” Col.2:8-10 NKJV
In verse 8, Scripture says, “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit.” No one likes to be cheated. It goes against the grain. But Paul says that’s exactly what happens when we settle for the traditions of men and basic worldly principles. Human logic, when relied on completely, leaves one feeling hollow and empty. When I have exercised faith in my own thoughts, God responds to faith and does a complete work, bringing joy. The NIV says, “See to it that no one takes you captive.” It’s easier to be on our guard with obvious evils, but how about philosophical ideas that come over time and, little by little, chisel away at our faith. It leaves us in bondage and captive to a hollow way of life.
When writing to the Colossians, Paul compared empty and hollow, to fullness in Christ. I don’t think any of us would initially choose to be deceived, so that’s why we’re admonished to be “on our guard”.
So, here is what God offers: the fullness of Christ. In the Greek, “you are complete in Him” (vs. 10), means: “Christians are those who are pervaded (i.e. richly furnished) with the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit: rooted as it were in Christ, i.e. by virtue of the intimate relationship entered into with Him.” (Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament #4137)
The fullness of all the Godhead in Christ is waiting to fill any individual. He lives and dwells in those that have a personal relationship with Him. All of heaven is readily available to anyone that allows Christ to flow through him. 2 Pet.1:3 states, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him.” God doesn’t leave us to fend for ourselves in this life. On the contrary, everything we need has already been provided. Faith accepts Jesus’ finished work and allows His power to work in us and through us. So, don’t settle for LESS, but allow Jesus to fill you with His FULLNESS!
