How Do I Start To Change Things?
by Charlie Rogers
How do you see yourself? Do you sometimes
wonder, “Is there a way out of my situation, whether it
is a physical infirmity or a financial infirmity?” If
so, how do I start to change things? I just imagine some
even wonder if they deserve a better life than they
have.
1 Cor 2:9 “Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the
things that God has prepared for those who love Him.
Have you ever stopped to think of what
God has given us? As each month and each year passes
along and with each trip into God I take, I realize more
and more what He has for us, and intends for us. We are
sons and daughters of God. Adopted into the family of
Christ. We have the same inheritance as the Lord Jesus
Christ. So therefore, everything that Jesus has is ours.
Eph 1:18the eyes of your understanding
being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of
His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His
inheritance in the saints,
Eph 3:20Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to
the power that works in us,
Now you might say, “Well I don’t feel
like I have everything. In fact when I got up this
morning my body said differently. It said I don’t have
everything.” But
you have! We
have been given everything that we could ever think of,
or ever imagine, or ever imagine needing concerning our
body, or our family, or our finances. Everything that we
could ever need has already been given to us.
Sometimes we sit around waiting for God
to give us something, but He’s already given it. There’s
no need in waiting for a sovereign move of God, because
2000 years ago there was a
sovereign move of God, and everything that we’ll ever
need was given to us. I praise God that we have this
inheritance. But just because we don’t have the
manifestation of it, isn’t God’s fault. You know
sometimes I just have to be honest with myself and admit
that it is me. God
is not stuck. He’s
already done everything, then gave it all to us. He
delivered everything to us that could be delivered to
us. So there’s only one person that might be stuck, and that’s
you and me.
The more I learn about His grace, His
mercy, and His love, the more I just want to go further
into Him and get this manifestation. I want to have it
alive in me where others can see it. It’s important!
Some people think. “Well, I’m called to witness. I’m
supposed to witness to everybody.” No, you’re not called
to witness; you’re called to be a
witness. They’re supposed to see your life, and see the
Godly love “oozing” out, that prosperity oozing out, or
that health oozing out.
Now don’t be in condemnation if you feel
like you have fallen short in these areas. That’s where
the grace and mercy of God comes in. His grace is there
for us, until we can get to that point where when we
walk down the street, or drive down a road, there’s
something special about us to that person we pass by.
The special thing is that we’re full of God, and the
manifestation of it is showing up on the outside. It’s
not just something locked up on the inside.
This inheritance that we have received is
not just something for us to dwell on. We should be
walking in every bit of the prosperity, every bit of the
health that He ever delivered, every bit of the peace
that He ever delivered, but it also is for a purpose.
This inheritance is more than just something for us to
have and to use for ourselves. There’s more to it. If
that was all there was, God would be a very selfish God.
He’s not that way. He didn’t give us this inheritance
for us not to have access to it. He’s not one to give
something, and then take it away. In fact, His Word says
exactly the opposite.
Heb 6:17 Thus God, determining to show
more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability
of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two
immutable things, in
which it is impossible for God to lie, we
might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge
to lay hold of the hope set before us.
He can’t take it away. He cannot lie. In
Him is all truth. If He said we were healed, then it
doesn’t matter what our body says. We were healed 2000
years ago. If He said that He took on our poverty and
delivered back to us the riches of heaven. This is the grace of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
So whatever you’re expecting, wanting or
needing. Whatever it is, I know that God wants it more
for you than you could ever imagine. More than I could
ever imagine. More than I could ever convince myself out
of the Word of God. As much as I would like to think
that I know everything that God has for me, I know that
it’s even beyond what I can even comprehend at this
time. But I comprehend more each day.
He says, 1Cor
2:9 “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered
into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared
for those who love Him.”
I believe that everyone reading this
teaching probably loves Him. I know that I do. I love
Him to the extent that I can possibly love Him. Now, I
would like to love Him more, and I’m falling more in love
with Him every day. So if you feel like sometimes you
don’t know how much you love Him, don’t feel alone,
because there was a time that I didn’t know how much I
could love Him either. Mainly because I did not fully
understand His love for me!
It is a process, and He understands that.
His grace is there. We are to continue on doing the
things in the Word of God. Then that causes His grace,
and His mercy to be poured out upon us. We start to see
what He has for us. Then we continue day by day to fall
in love with Him more, and more, and more. Then we are
able to receive more and more of what He has.
You know, I’m walking in as much
anointing right now as I can walk into. There is more
for me, but as far as what I’m walking in right now,
it’s as much as I’m able to walk into. As I go more into
His Word, and develop more and more of a relationship
with Him, then the more anointing I will walk into. The
more that I die to the things of the world, and the
things of the flesh, and the emotions, then the more
anointing I walk into. The same goes for each one of you
for your callings.
It says in, 1
Corinthians 2:10, “But God has revealed them to us,
through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things,
yes, the deep things of God, for what man knows the
things of the man, except the spirit of the man which is
in him, even so no one knows the things of God, except
the Spirit of God”.
We can never with our natural mind, (now
this is where religion, denominations, traditions, and
all that, have taken a wrong turn) never can we with our
own natural mind, or natural eye, ever comprehend or
learn the things of God. Never!
He delivered unto us the Spirit of God to
not only be with us, but to dwell and live inside us. I
like to think it this way, and a lot of people don’t
like it this way. The word dwell means to set up
housekeeping. He’s there to reveal and add the power to
sweep out the thing stopping us from walking in our
inheritance. He’s going to be there forever until the
day Jesus returns, that’s the job of the Holy Spirit, to
bring to us the things of God. To reveal them to us when
we don’t know where we stand in healing, prosperity,
peace, or whatever area we are facing. It’s the job of
the Holy Spirit to get that across to us. To bring about
the manifestation in our lives. Everything that we could
ever need, ever want, or ever think of.
Just because somebody has taken part of
that inheritance, and maybe perverted it, and is using
it to heap upon themselves Cadillac’s, and new houses
all for fleshly reasons doesn’t make God and His Word
wrong. He still wants us to have all the prosperity, and
all the healing that He delivered 2000 years ago. He
wants it manifested in our life, we love Him He loves us
even more. When we said “Jesus, come into my heart. Live
in my heart. I want to live for you. I give my life to
you.” We immediately became a child in the family of
God, and we became entitled to an inheritance in every
area of our life. It was delivered free of charge. No
way we could earn it, or work for it. It was delivered
by the grace of God. Now, He wants us to take that
inheritance and do something with it. He wants us to
live comfortably; He wants us to have everything. But He
also has another purpose for that inheritance.
“Look, God isn’t into us having zero at
the end of the month. What we need to begin to see is a
$50.00 month.” That is, whenever everything is paid for
at the end of the month, and we come down to the bottom
line, we still have $50.00 left over. When we get that
image on the inside, and we have that manifested in our
life, then we need to begin to see a $100.00 month. And
while we are at it, why don’t we go ahead and get that
image on the inside that we could have a $1,000.00
month!
“Why are you saying this Brother Rogers?
So we can heap more upon ourselves?” No!!!!!!! So
that we can be a vessel for God to flow through and
touch this world! We have people around us right now,
all through the area, in dire need. People that need to
see a little bit of God “oozing” out of us. How can we
do that, if we’re broke? Think about it! We come down to
the end of the month, we paid that $325.00 a month
payment on that brand new pickup truck, and paid the
rest of the bills, and there is nothing left over. So
what? If we would have had a $100.00 a month payment, we
would have another $225.00 left over. Then we would have
had a $225.00 month.
It is a matter of changing an image. You
know, we accept things the way they are too easily.
“Well I ended up with a zero month. Everything balanced
out. I paid all my bills. I paid all those big car
payments, the house payment, and at the end I have zero.
Well, at least I paid everything.” And we accept that,
and go on. Then, we accept that throughout our entire
life. “Well my body hurts, so I’m going to accept that
for the rest of my life.” That’s not what God intended.
He didn’t intend for us to accept that. He didn’t intend
for my joints, (just because I’m 45 years old) to hurt.
He didn’t intend for me to accept that. He expected me
to have a different image, that I get the image on the inside of
me of a healed body. Of a body that’s walking in the
fullness of health.
How can we get all those other souls
saved, if we go home early to heaven? How can we reach
and touch and change other people’s lives if we’re in a
wheelchair, or can’t get around very well. How can we
minister to the needs of other people? There’s no
condemnation. His grace is there, and He will heal us
and set us free. He will also lead us out of debt
financially which is His perfect will, not to owe no
man! What I’m saying is it’s not in Him for us to accept
it, and live with infirmities and debt for the rest of
our life. He didn’t intend for that 2000 years ago. He
gave us an inheritance, that we could walk out of it,
and be a vessel for Him to flow through.
