JUST CLAIM IT
Friends!! increase my territory Lord Out of All of Gods promises I ask for. Good friends are at the top of the list, and not for the sake of having friends. But Godly Christian friends, friends who will always encourage you in Gods name and His name only. Who’s mission on earth is like yours and that is to finish up God’s work here on earth so we who believe and have faith in a risen Savior may live throughout eternity in His pure and holy kingdom. In fact I have met some new friends this weekend who gave me the inspiration for my title today JUST CLAIM IT:
As they conveyed their unique story about JUST CLAIM IT, and how it worked for them, it awakened a sleeping giant in myself of all the promises God has given us to believe on Him, and just what He is willing to do for His faithful. It begins with them looking for a new home, upon finding one it was already occupied by someone in fact it was designed and built by the developer who built the subdivision where the house was located, so With him being a builder, and a developer it had everything a family could ask for.
But soon He died and his family moved in. But a year later they put it up for sale. My friends applied to get the house along with many others who were interested, but as Christians they claimed it in Jesus name not saying that the other potential buyers were not Christians, but moving on with the story. Each day they would go to the house walk around, sit on the porch, and at times wave at there soon to be new neighbors, always at the door greeting other potential buyers as they came in. Measuring for curtains and other accessories for there JUST CLAIM IT new home.
But to make a long story short God blessed them with this beautiful home, and at a price that only God could have taken over the negotiations for them. But they were not too surprised because they had already CLAIMED IT in Gods name. And by the way I have been staying in this beautiful home for the last few days, but you are probably saying didn’t he say he just met them. You are right but I also said they were Christians, but that is another devotional topic for another day and time. But for now I go to Joshua to one of God’s promises when I think of my friends story.
Joshua 24:13-15 “So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant. “Now 
fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness……….. then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…….. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” God is so ready willing and able to bless your life and everything you do. He will provide for your every need. He will open doors for you that you did not think would ever be possible.
Paul say’s in Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” Luke also states in Luke 11:9-10…… “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” But it is all about CLAIMING IT in Gods name. God will always enter the soul of each child of His, through His own private door one that is set up for only Him to enter.
So When we move in Gods direction, our Savior takes a giant step toward that individual to forever embrace that person as one of His own and to give us what we ask in His name. John 15:7 says If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. The good news today! There is a king of kings and a Lord of Lords who is named Jesus Christ. And He has declared that every blessing recorded in His word is available to you for the asking.
But most of the time, You have not because you ask not. Ask now and receive the blessings that God the Father ordained specifically for you since the beginning of time. but there is another side to JUST CLAIM IT also. When you do ask God for something. The key to you getting it is, it has to be all about God and His glory James states it best in James 4:3 “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”
so whatever you ask, make it all about Him and Him only. So my friends today have faith in our God and start living a life saturated in overwhelming blessings that focuses on Gods needs and not yours. Each faithful follower of Christ is born with a pure connection to God. But As we move around in this sinful world and we become more attached to earthly things, that connection weakens, and is sometimes broken. That is why our focus must be forever on Christ, His word, and Him Crucified.
So each day remind yourself that Salvation if accepted, is a gift if we choose to accept it. Life will always bring it’s challenges, but there is always Gods blessings. Some of the many blessings God gives could be just a deepening knowledge of yourself and learning that you are stronger than you thought because you gave it all to the Master, or it could be that God is teaching you grace in a way you never expected. Or it could just be a beautiful house, that each day you wake up you realize it was a gift from God and your thanks to Him will be to serve Him each day and give Him all the glory and honor each day of your life.
And now, let your prayers always be “LORD I’M AVAILABLE TO YOU. My will I give to You. I’ll do what You say do. Use me Lord To show someone the way, and enable me to say, My storage is empty, and I am available to You. Now I’m giving back to You, all the tools You gave to me. My hands, my ears, my voice, my eyes; so You can use them as You please. I have emptied out my cup, So that You can fill me up. Now I’m free and I just want to be more available to You.” So my friends today I will CLAIM the ultimate gift, which is eternal life.
And I am expecting him to honor that claim and redeem me, and my friends, family, love one’s, co-workers neighbors, and a world who is willing to listen to the good news of Christ soon return. I am expecting him to do this because, of His promises, and because I will remain focused and believe and have faith and love as He loved and endure until I see the clouds roll back before me, and I can see His face and the face of the one’s I loved so dearly who have been laid to rest in the loving arms of Jesus Christ.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
