God has determined that we as believers will be blessed. God knows His thoughts toward you because He has chosen His thoughts. We are his workmanship in Christ, created unto good works that God has ordained that we should walk in them. God rejoices in the manifestation of His Glory in a people such as you called by His name. In this way the earth becomes filled with His glory.

God has thoughts of peace concerning you. God intends that you should succeed in your endeavors and enjoy the promises that He has prepared for the overcomers. He desires that you should experience the joy of existence and the satisfaction of creative activity consistent with His Will. God's Will reveals His heart and mind concerning you and the world in which you live. God has promised that you will truly know the value of your life, living and moving in the fullness of Jesus Christ. God's goodness will cause you to love Him with your heart, soul and strength.

The Apostle John declared that he wished above all that you might prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. You will see the goodness of God in the land of the living and be transformed by the renewing of your mind. God has thoughts of peace, and not of evil. Your sin is forgiven. God has chosen you and anointed you to experience His kindness, His mercy, and His glory. God intends that you should have hope and that you should see the fulfillment of the vision that He has instilled in you by His Spirit. You have found grace in the sight of God.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him. But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of Godp> Jeremiah 29:12 - Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

You come to realize how great and far reaching is the goodness that God intends in your behalf.

Jeremiah 29:13 And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.

You will seek and find because the door is already open. Seeking is something you do with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The faith that you have received is inclusive enabling us to envision a complete transformation. Your life is redeemed and you possess an increasing awareness of the presence of God and a 'fire in your bones' that motivates you and moves you forward in Christ.

Now we… press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)

The Spirit said: seek and you will find, find means to attain. Seek the kingdom and His righteousness and you will succeed in reaching your goal. Everything in life moves progressively so we are encouraged and instructed to press towards the mark.

Someone will say, "doesn't God really do it all?" Yes but you have to keep the faith. Jesus prayed for Peter that his faith fail not. You have to believe in your heart and do something. You have to confess. Confess means to take responsibility for the truth that you have been shown and the truth that you have seen and understood. God has given you back your life. The meaning of life is within you. Search with all your heart and you will receive God's expected end. As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. We are looking forward to something greater than that which we have known. God has given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these we might be partakers of His divine nature.

Ephesians 1:18-20 The eyes of our understanding is being enlightened; that we may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, (We know who we are.) 19 And also what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power. 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.

God has chosen you and set you apart. You have been raised with Christ and seated in heavenly places in Him. You have been granted the honor to know and understand the mystery of the kingdom.

Therefore- "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones." (Proverbs 3:5-8)

We have received eternal life and it is manifested within us as living waters. 1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.
