What is God's plan?

The first step in His plan is redemption. Jesus set us free from sin and spiritual death when He took our place, giving up His life for ours. Through Him, we became brand new creatures.

2. Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

The Biblical metaphor for redemption, for salvation, is a WELL of living water.

John 4:14 But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

The second step in His plan is for all of us to be filled with the Holy Spirt to complete the work that began at the new creation. There is no being filled without first being redeemed.

The Biblical metaphor for being filled with the Holy Spirit is RIVERS of living water.

John 7:37-38 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

The water in the well is for you personally.

The water in the rivers is to flow through you to minister to other people. It is the anointing to minister. Everyone filled has this anointing.

We are raised up and equipped to minister to other people. Can you imagine what would take place if we all got the revelation that we are supposed to minister to other people?

God's plan for us is to allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, upon us, and through us.

God's plan starts at redemption and finishes with the Body of Christ ministering to other people.

You don't have to worry about YOU doing it. The anointing is on you. The anointing does the work. Your part is to desire and to go.

Neither redemption nor filling with the Holy Ghost are automatic. They have been paid for, but you have to believe and accept.

There is no condemnation in redemption. There is no necessity of getting rid of sins so that you can be saved. That's not the gospel. That's not what Jesus did. He paid for ALL of it so that you could have ALL of Him.

God does not condemn. He condemned His Son on our behalf.
