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.
