God's Great Exchange.


Isaiah 43:1-5; 2 Corinthians 5:21; John 16:33; Mark 10:45; Psalm 34:1; John 3:16

We are walking in today:  God's Great Exchange.


Isaiah 43:1-6 1) But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2) When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3) For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4) Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5) Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west.  Since you are precious and honored in His sight and because He loves us, He will give people in exchange for you.  God is giving nations in exchange for our life.  As we set with God on yesterday, in a one on one--God's great exchange began to happen.  One of the biggest exchanges was the one on Calvary.  It assures us of God's complete forgiveness because He has carried our guilt away forever!  It gives us His pure rule of goodness and righteousness. Which is perfectly in sync with the Father's holy will.  You better thank God for the exchange!  Exchange is defined as an act of giving one thing and receiving another.  Wow!  Aren't you glad there is an exchange going on!  Jesus made the exchange, Jesus paid the price.  It is now up to you!  God intended from the very beginning that His family would be blessed. God created us to be righteous, health and wealth in every area of our lives!  Jesus said, He came that we would have life and that more abundantly!  Abundant life is one of righteousness, health and prosperity.  Jesus paid the price for our righteousness, by becoming sin and suffering it's penalty.  Jesus paid the price for you to walk in total victory in every area of your life.  He paid the highest price that was ever required of any man, His life!  He gave it all!  He gave all, and all He gave in exchange for us!  What a great exchange!  2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.  John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.  Mark 10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
I don't know about you but I am excited that something happened on Calvary!  He has already done all things, for us!  Already made a way, delivered on His promises made!  We are to walk in it, to get to it.  This great exchange!  The enemy doesn't want us to know what is going on!  Fiveamprayer, there is an exchange going on!  Way back in Genesis, He blew into us the breath of life.  Take a look in the mirror, you have been looking to see who the enemy is, it it you!  We should see the image of God.  But we keep walking and doing things the way the world does.  Turn to God and make an exchange!  There is no weapon that is formed against us that shall prosper, make an exchange!  You have got to know that there is an exchange going on in your life!  He told us to be of good cheer, He has already overcome the world!!  This is great news for those of us that are feeling out of control and lacking power, look to God--He has this all figured out!  He knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end!!  There is nothing too hard for Him!  Jesus paid it all, a debt that no man could pay!  The devil is still a liar, the victory is already won!  We are His chosen, God's righteous people.  We have to know who we are in Christ.  He created us, in His own image and nothing shall harm us!  We can go through the fire and come out not smelling of smoke.  He has always made provision for us!  The great exchange happened a long time ago.  All that we need, is already made.  Don't worry about the tests and struggles, we are more than overcomers!  More than a conqueror.  He told us that we are weak You are strong!  We lift up fiveamprayer, thank You for leaving us with the Comforter.  Be still and hear a word from God.  He will guide you in the way you need to know.  Let me tell you there is an exchange going on!  Hold on, this is the appointed time--our set time for favor!  It is time for breakthrough, He told us that this is our year of authority!  This time will let you know what you are made of.  Don't you know that the greater One lives on the inside of us?!  For every test, trial and tribulation, the enemy is trying to steal, kill and destroy.  God has gone before us--we are to believe it to receive it!  All things are possible with Christ.  That is where our strength comes from, Jesus.  We are called blessed and highly favored.  We must remember who we are!  God loves us so much that He set up our blessings ages ago. Get ready there is an exchange going on!  We are made victorious over death!  We know who our Father is.  Going through hell and come out not smelling of smoke.  Keep standing and believing Him.  Think about the definition of exchange that we are giving up something and getting something else in return.  In our case a great treasure--access back to the Father!  This is what Adam lost in the garden so long ago.  Jesus died that we could receive salvation and everlasting life.  He got up on the third day with all power of heaven and Earth in His hands.  Look at the exchange that has gone on!!  We are now children of the King!  We were chosen by Him!  Don't let your singleness, your marriage or your finances--anything in your life come against what God has already has for us!  At the alter, while crying out to God, the Holy Spirit fell and there was an exchange.  There in the exchange--there is changing going on.  You will no longer be be the same!  Because of this great exchange, we don't have to die anymore!  He reminded us in the one on one--don't question or doubt God.  It is God that is covering us in those tight situations.  God covers all situations that He puts you in.  Stop trying to figure it out!  There is an exchange going on!  The word says that He will pour out His Spirit onto all flesh.  God's great exchange, why do you fear or doubt?!  Everything was nailed to the cross at Calvary.  That is why we are free from condemnation.  Ask Him for for forgiveness and go on. Put your mind on God, instead of worrying about your issues.  Look to Him, He is the holy One!  God gave gave Egypt as a ransom, what an exchange!  You could not make it on your own!  God had to step in or you would be lost.  He stepped in, right on time, and saved you!  God will not put more on us than we can bear!  We are strengthened because God has made an exchange with us!  No more than we can bear, God has taken over.  Be still and know that He is God!  He already suffered and here we are murmuring and complaining.  No more of that!  We will hold our peace and let God fight our battles! Be still and be quiet!  Fiveamprayer, we need to get out of the way--God is trying to bless us!  God's great exchange, He will take it from you, just lay it aside.  Every weight that would so easily beset us.  He gives joy for our suffering, His peace that surpasses all understanding, for the hell that has broken loose in our lives.  Fiveamprayer, lets do an exchange!  Let go and let God, for real.  Turn things over to Him, tell Him, nevertheless they will be done.  Exchange our pride, God.  Fix us Lord!  We lay it at Your feet. Walk in His peace, love and joy.  He is saying, give it to Me.  Stop trying to figure it out--only God  can do this.  Lay it down--once and for all, don't pick it back up.  He gives peace for our torment; joy for drama; reconciliation in our marriage but we have to forgive!  Time for an exchange, fiveamprayer!  Look to God, He will keep you in perfect peace!  We must lay aside every weight that besets us!  Cast you cares on Him!  We must give Him everything!  He has given us such a great treasure!  We have peace because of the great exchange.  We have joy, fiveamprayer, your gave it all over to Him!  Thank You God!  Go to God all weekend, making exchanges.  His will for our will--make an exchange.  Our unforgiveness for His forgiveness, make an exchange.  Thank You God, all the stuff we need to exchange.  Who the Son sets free, is free indeed!  Some of us are walking in pride, being selfish, our own understanding, self-righteousness--lay it all down.  Lord we need an exchange, our lives for Your glory!  We are to be a living sacrifice.  We gotta exchange some stuff!  We have been worried about bills and our marriage--now is not the time to take your eyes off of God!  Exchange that worry for His peace.    It is exchange time!  Hold on, you have been waiting for too long to give up now!  Hallelujah God!    Thank You Father!  We had a one on one on yesterday!  Then today make an exchange!  Psalm 34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.  Let us exchange our mummers for praise!  Make an exchange right now!  That we take on His understanding, not our own.  It is God who directs our path.  Order our steps Lord, in Your word.  Make an exchange God!  Jesus paid it all--all to Him we owe!  Lay aside every weight, we must let go and let God!  Make an exchange--Hallelujah God!  In our one on one, many of us have asked for things, that God said we already have.  We are to give up some stuff, that He is able to fill us to the overflow.  Thank You God.  We lift up fiveamprayer have them to make the exchange.  He is trying  to bless us!  For His Glory, make the exchange.  Life by Design, make the exchange!  We lift up prayers requests those known and unknown.  Have them to make an exchange, we can not hold on to it--we are not able to work it out anyway.  Hallelujah God!  We come to repent for still walking in unforgiveness. Let us exchange and forgive like You have forgiven us as we forgive others!  That You are the God who cast our sins into the sea where they are remembered no more!  God can't cast it if you won't let go of it!  Give praise to the holy One, who sealed us in the blood--John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: 
Genesis 32:24-26 24) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26) And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Welcome to the overflow...

Let it go, so He can bless you!  Exchange some stuff so that He can bless you.  We are to lay aside the things that beset us.  Cast it down at His feet, let it go--don't pick it back up.  Jesus already did it, made a way for us and provision is waiting on our arrival.  It is already done!  Take time out to read the scriptures for yourself.  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you.  Thank You Lord of this great exchange!  Have a supernatural weekend!
