May 2009
You're Born To Be A Hero

I believe that in 2009 is the year for God’s divine intervention in the lives of his saints to do great exploits and great acts of courage. On January the 15th of this year, the whole world was aware of the crash-landing of US airways Flight 1549 in New York, Hudson River, what seemed destined to be a tragedy became a tale of extraordinary success and survival. By the time, all 155 people were pulled from the icy waters by a flotilla of rescue boats, a story began to emerge of a highly trained pro with a cool demeanor who had deftly guided his doomed aircraft to safety.

In an instant, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger found himself at the heart of an uplifting news story people all over the world wanted to celebrate. The headline in the media was “Miracle on the Hudson”. All survive as commercial airliner makes an emergency landing in New York.

Both pilot and co-pilot had supernatural courage and made a split-second decision to land the plane in the Hudson River. Pilot, Chesley, had experience by flying F-4 Fighter Jets; he was also obsessed with learning how to glide a plane with the engine shut off. All of his 42 years of experience was suddenly put into action. From the time that the engine of Flight 1549 went out, to the time that the plane landed into the Hudson River safely, was done in a manner of 120 seconds.

He showed supernatural faith and courage by making sure that everybody was out of the plane before him as he walked through the plane twice. When asked by the media and was told what a miracle this was he replied, “I did what I was trained for.” One act of courage and the world was inspired by this miraculous event.

God has anointed every believer to do miraculous deeds. He wants to turn every would be tragedy into an extraordinary survival and success story. It says in Daniel 11:32, at the end, “But the people who know their God should be strong and do great exploits.”

God has many supernatural times of suddenlies prepared for you. We know that God will honor your walk of faith to bring about miraculous turns of events in your life whether it be spiritual, financial and/or physical. While people around you hear of the great challenges you overcome, it will inspire their faith to believe God for things that they need to overcome. The book of Joshua shows a pattern to possess your inheritance. The Bible has numerous stories of many women and men of God faced with great challenges who turn every adversary into a victory.

Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armor bearers felt led of the Lord that God had a victory over their enemies the Philistines. In Samuel 14: 10, Jonathan knew by the leading of the spirit that if the Philistines say, “Come unto us; then we will go up: for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.” And behold the Philistines in verses 11-12 challenged them to a battle thinking that they are weak and easy prey, but Jonathan had already heard the Word of the Lord that if the Philistines challenged them that they would supernaturally defeat them.

When the news had spread that Jonathan and his armor bearer had defeated a multitude of Philistines, the victory of Jonathan and his servant brought back all of the Hebrews that had deserted who went on the side of the Philistines, they came back to God’s army and ran to the battle. Many of these men, hid in caves, lived in fear; they were complacent, oppressed, discouraged, disappointed and fearful. Many of those in the church facing these same challenges, when they hear of the testimony of what God had done in your life; it will inspire and release great faith to believe that their time of victory is coming.

In Acts 3:1, we read that Peter and John saw a crippled man at the temple. They saw that this man needed a miracle healing and Peter said in verse 6, “in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk” and the man immediately received his healing. Then we read in verse 7, “so he, leaping, stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.” Verses 9 and 10 say, “And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.” The Sadducees were persecuting Peter and John because they preached and taught about the resurrection of Jesus and a crippled man was healed.

They are threatened by the religious leaders and are told in Acts 4:18, “so they called them and commanded them not to teach at all in the name of Jesus.” We read in verses 19-21, “But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak things which we have seen and heard.”

So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.” Peter and John are not intimidated by the persecution and anti-Christ spirit that came from the Sadducees. They would not stop speaking the name of Jesus.

They saw the miracle healing of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate that brought tremendous awareness and gave them an opportunity to speak to thousands. In verses 29-31 we read, “Now, Lord look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus”.

“And when they prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, and they were all filled with the holy spirit and spoke the word of god with boldness.” –Acts 4:31

The boldness of Paul caused trouble for the religious leaders of his day, but Paul cries out for more boldness, more anointing and more glory. Paul was not intimidated by the threats of man, he was motivated to speak the message of the kingdom of God. We read in Acts 14:1-13 that God granted signs, wonders and miracles.

Stand in the remembrance of your history that you have with God. Your today and your future are defined in the memory of the past victories, past memories of healings and financial miracles, your trials and triumphs over the obstacles that you overcome.

The things that you’ve overcome are a sign that God is at work in the earth. It’s normal for a Christian to win and succeed and to walk in the favor and goodness of God in his life. God has made you to be unstoppable; He wants you to be part of a radical group that will walk in God’s kingdom power and authority.

God’s church is headed to greater realms of God’s glory anointing this year. He wants His church to be a voice that will transform the hearts and minds of people that are hungry and thirsty to receive the living God. The boldness of Paul, the courage of Jonathan and his armor bearer should be enough to provoke you to receive a new impartation for a supernatural gift of courage to bring about miracle working faith in your life.

My prayer today is that you will receive a new impartation of boldness and to know that with God, all things are possible. God’s people are born to release the supernatural presence of His kingdom to accomplish and see impossible circumstances bow to the name of Jesus.
