A Few Things of What I Know

By

Debra Courtney 


I am to see my problems & troubles as a part of GODS’ education for me.


The seed that leaves my HAND never leaves my LIFE. It goes out into my FUTURE and produces my HARVEST.
ALWAYS have an ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE. (Send thank you notes to everyone who helps us.
IGNORE OFFENCES!!!
Enemies create my REWARDS. GOD only PROMOTES OVERCOMERS.
SILENCE cannot be MISQUOTED.
The PROBLEM I decide to solve for others is called MY PASSION.
My mentor is interested only in my PROSPERITY. In who or whom do I trust?
What SELF-PORTRAIT do I decide to BELIEVE?
What weakness do I decide to CONQUER?  CONFESSION stops PERSECUTION.

The time I invest in the presence of GOD determines my PROSPERITY.
(In family, business, education, finances, friends, health, wisdom, understanding, favor, blessings, obedience, grace, mercy, joy, humility).
What FAVOR do I decide to PURSUE and PROTECT.
I am FOUR (4) people away from a FINANCIAL BLESSING. I cannot do anything by myself.
Whose AUTHORITY do I decide to HONOR?
SEED is NOT a MONEY word.  IT IS a SEED WORD.
(It is a supply word. I sow seeds of love, money, inspiration, time, study, learning, listening, caring, etc...). By doing all these and more I reap all these and more.)
SOW for a desired result.  SEED is what I SOW.  EXPECTATION is WHY I SOW.
EVERY ACT of OBEDIENCE I do, SHORTENS the DISTANCE GOD is BRING TO ME.
DISOBEDIENCE brings JUDGEMENT & CURSES.
GOD will never ask me for something I don’t have, but he will always ask me for something I want to KEEP.

My FAITH creates any FUTURE I WANT. My Miracle is in my MOUTH.

The PROBLEM that IRRITATES me the MOST is the thing GOD will give me to SOLVE. 


How long I stay in the PROBLEM, determines how I LOOK the problem. 


All MOUNTAINS look like a HILL from Heavens point of view. 
JESUS became the SON OF MAN, in order for me to become a DAUGHTER OF GOD. 


THE BLOOD OF JESUS has WIPED OUT my sin in HIS MIND & MY MIND. 


My SIN is JESUS' businesses NOT MINE.  (Jesus does not remind me of my sin, the devil does that). I do not stand accused any longer.  My plea: NOT GUILTY! I am redeemed. I am justified, just as if I had never sinned! 


The PRAYER will be answered once I SAY IT, VISUALIZE IT, TAKE IT, HAVE IT, & BELIEVE IT! 
One carnal judgment of another person only serves the purpose of hell in us. 


Don’t look for a natural answer to prayer. God works in the supernatural. If it is not an impossible thing, it is not a real disturbance. 


If we are motivated by our love for God, no amount of ingratitude will be able to hinder us from serving others.

4 Keys of Grace

4 Keys of Grace

By

Debra Courtney 

You and I were born to enjoy the benefits of the grace of God. We have the inborn traits of instinct for improvement within us.  We have the motivation for the increase of grace or at least we should. There should be something inside of us that gravitates us towards grace. 


God created us that way, and we will never be happy any other way. Now, I could discuss forever how our Abba Father bestows the grace of: Peace, Power, Wealth, Health, and Success – but unless you know how to obtain grace, it will not help you.  


1.       The Grace of Obedience


Deuteronomy 28:1 MSG says, “If you listen obediently to the Voice of GOD, your GOD, and heartily obey all his commandments…”. It means living up to the knowledge you have received. Simply doing what God has told you to do. If God has been talking to you about doing something, do it! 


2.     The Grace of Knowledge


Hosea 4:6 MSG says, “My people are ruined because they don’t know what’s right or true.” What you don’t know can destroy you God wants all His children to be knowledgeable. God is in the information business. The Bible is an information book. However, you can’t take hold of the grace and blessings of God unless you have the knowledge of what He has provided for you and therefore claim what belongs to you. 


3.     The Grace of Forgiveness


Matthew 6:14-15 MSG says, “In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can’t get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God’s part.” Forgiveness does not flow to you until it can flow through you. It means that you give up your right to allow God take care of any judgment and penalization of another person. Always exercise the ability to withhold judgment and let God perform His program. Believe me He can do it better than anything we could come up with to pay back anyone with anything they have done to us. 


4.      The Grace of Praise


Psalm 9:1 AMP says, “I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth (recount and tell aloud) all Your marvelous works and wonderful deeds! The purpose of praise is not just to make us feel good, but it is also to stir up others. Praise lifts us up to where God is. Praise is something we deliberately choose to do. God is comfortable with praise. Know this also, the demons hate it. So “PRAISE” on!  


We were born to receive the “GRACE” of our Abba Father!

Lord, I will sing of Your grace forever. I will tell others of Your grace from generation to generation.
