Refresher, God's Perfect Will for Our Life

Happy New Season!  Romans 12:1-2 is Our Key Study Verse. With the World aligning up according to Prophecy. I thought this would be a Refresher of Our Faith Study.. Here We see its a conditional promise in part. The end part of verse 2 contains the promise. If we really want God's perfect Will for Our lives, we must meet these 3 conditions in these 2 verses.

1. We Must Present Ourselves to God as  Living Sacrifices.

We must recognize that we as Christians belong to God. In 1 Corintians 6:19-20 Our bodies belong to Him and we must cease from sin.  Because Jesus  paid for us at Calvary. This  is the meaning of a Living Sacrifice, By Putting away our own will and replacing it with the will of God.

2.We Must Not Be Conformed To This World.

 In  order to know the will of God is to Not copy the behavior and ways of the world. When this verse speaks about the world it is not referring about the Planet earth.  But, it's speaking about the mentality, and ways of these times.  And having  the  mindset that is disobedient  and hostile to the things of God. Their focus is on  men selfish desires and customs. 

3. We must be transformed by the Renewing of Our Minds.

And this process is to saturate our minds and hearts with the Word of God. His Word will spiritually build us up. We can't be slack on reading His Word, spending time in Prayer, and Praising & Worshipping God for His Goodness. We must keep  our minds on the things of God. Which is TRUTH.   Read  Philippians 4:8  Paul instructs us to fix our thoughts on what is true ,honorable and righteous. This is a vital refresher for us to remember. This helps us to be able to accurately discern the Will of God. and to not be tempted and deceived. I know someone is thinking I know this, Ive read this Chapter many times. Again this is a refresher to keep our mindset & hearts  on the Will of God. The enemy is evangelizing his people. We must evangelize for souls to enter Heaven. The battle has upgraded. We must stay Alert,  Prepared and Prayed up. There are many traps and distractions. But God has assured the Faithful We Win!!!!

Until next time, Stay Prayerful

DOULOS ( SERVANT OF CHOICE )

 Paul is teaching here in Romans 8 :6-8 the two ways of Life. To walk in according to the flesh is yielding to the desires of Our old life. Or, To walk in the Spirit is following the desires of the Holy Spirit. Or live to Please God.  We know living in the flesh cannot Please God.  But we can change this. Once we enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ, God frees us from the vicious cycle of sin and death through the Power of  His Holy Spirit. Some may ask do we need to live in the Holy Spirit?  Yes, He is the basis of Our Freedom.  In essence , We receive the Holy Spirit by accepting Jesus Christ in Our lives.  Which  has made us Servants of Jesus Christ and not a slave of our sinful nature. Paul used the word Doulos, which means “ Servant by Choice” A word used in the Roman culture. We understand the Only way to be Free from sin is to be bound to Jesus. 

Unless we completely surrender Our life to the Lord, all efforts to live a pure life will not happen. Don’t deceive yourselves in thinking that you can enter in by good works. It will not happen until We accept Jesus as Lord of Our Life. And be obedient to His Will. So , please examine your heart, and not what or how someone else is serving God. We will not answer God for someone else. This is a personal choice,  Repent, Ask Jesus to be Lord over your Life. And live a Life of Freedom and Peace in this Life and the one to Come. It’s your choice.  ( Please Read the Complete Chapter of Romans.)

Romans 8:6-8

Amplified Bible

6 Now the mind of the flesh is death [both now and forever—because it pursues sin]; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God—both now and forever]; 7 the mind of the flesh [with its sinful pursuits] is actively hostile to God. It does not submit itself to God’s law, since it cannot, 8 and those who are in the flesh [living a life that caters to sinful appetites and impulses] cannot please God.

A True Disciple Of God Counts The Cost.

 Praise the Lord! God has blessed us with another Sunday. Praying All is well on this Heavenly Journey.

Today, I was impressed to study about True Discipleship.  Amen.  Some call themselves Christian and others rather called themselves Disciples. Which we know there is a difference between  True Disciples and Christians. But today it's about the True Disciples.  When I saw what I was going to Study, I thought this  is a good topic Lord. Because I had a completely different topic. But God knows what his people need. I went to the Book of Luke Chapter 14:25-33. [ Please Read this complete  Chapter ]  The Holy Spirit may show and teach you another lesson. These verses 25-33 are speaking about "Leaving All To Follow Jesus" . And Counting the cost to become a True Disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ [ The Anointed One ]

As Jesus stop and begin to speak to the people. For he had became a popular name among the people.  People flocked around Him wherever He went. But there were some that wasn’t following Him for the right reasons. They were attracted to the miracles done. As Jesus directed His Meeting and spoke to those people who were following Him for selfish reasons , rituals or its just a thing to do . But there were some Followers that desired to follow Jesus in obedience , accepting to cost of discipleship. And in the same way, Jesus doesn't want You  and I to follow Him only when it is Convenient or Socially acceptable. He wants us to be His True Disciples as long as we are on earth and beyond. Regardless of how easy or difficult it might be. This is why we must count the cost of  being a True Disciple of Jesus Christ .

 

So there are some that may not understood fully or thought about counting the cost. Or thought , “that’s what we are”.  Or you may hear someone say, “ I’m Sold Out”?  But are you really? Look at  the following 4 questions and  ask yourself these questions. It will give some insight and we can locate ourselves spiritually.

* Do you love Jesus more than anyone or anything else in your life?

*Do you love Jesus and desire His Will for your life over your own?

*Are you willing to accept being talked about, ridicule and sacrificed for the cause of Christ?

* Will you commit to following Jesus, whether its popular or look upon as  to heavenly minded?

If you have carefully examined your heart, with these questions. Counted the cost and can truthfully answer Yes to these questions. Then you are on the way to Discipleship  and continually live your life as  His Disciple.  Which is a Wonderful Place in God. So from this Study. Jesus is not looking for half-hearted and  faithless  Followers. He wants our complete trust , loyalty and commitment . Amen.  God is Good. And We are sensitive to His instructions, Amen.  Well , Fellow Disciples. Until Our Next Study, Have a Blessed Sunday and upcoming Week.  Remember , “ A Disciple Must Count The Cost.”

These Things Need Not Be

 Good Day and Happy August, Today my Study is from James 3. It never cease to amaze me of what comes out of people mouths. To curse themselves.

For example. Some things people post on Social Media reveals the sickness and condition of people hearts. One day some will say they are Blessed and next is cursing flowing . James said, "These things need not be." Can we be real here?, Do people really think that they can fool or play God? No, and I am here to tell the truth. You are not being Blessed, you are being deceived by the evil one. This is the reason why many Lives are in total chaos because of their words. And Daily Self Examination and Repentance is vital, if you want to Live for God. [ The True and Living God of Truth ] I know we can't control what others do. But if we want to live under the Blessings of God. We must pray, and seek God not the things of the World. It is sad to read people personal business on Social Media whether I know them personally or not. I don't think anyone here want to see negative reports daily or flip flop comments. I live for God and He is the Prince of Peace. *** This is my Personal Opinion, and We are Praying for you! [ Read the Complete Chapter of James 3 , it will Bless You. Be encourage in the Lord! God is still God! And His Word is Truth!

James 3:10-12

Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be! 11 Can both fresh water and bitter water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Prophecy is being fulfilled

 

Blessings And Glory To Our God, For He is Worthy of All of Our Praise. In the highlighted paragraph below. God gave me this warning some time back. And it is appropriate for the days We are living. If you haven’t noticed 1 John 4:1-5 is in full effect and proves the Word of God is the Truth. We have been warned, Do Not trust every spirit. But instead examine them carefully to determine if they came from God. Because there are many voices in the World. I want to prepare us all for what God has shown me . There is a Grand sifting taking place for the Saved and unsaved happening. Just as Jesus the ( Anointed One )  warned Simon Peter that satan desired to have him and sift him as wheat. ( Luke 22:31 ) This is happening to us all right now. One Bible translation put it like this, satan is pursuing you, that he may make you part of his harvest. Please read below what God showed me and just ask Him to show you also. Pray over every area of your life and others. 

From time to time we are reminded, Keep your eyes on God. Because depending on people to do the right thing will not happen. It's really discouraging when it comes from people that in essence is a immature Christian. But God will speak and show you the level of maturity . I think sometimes God will allow us to see the real so we can see him. Paul spoke the Truth in 1 Corinthians 2:5- That your faith should not Stand in the Wisdom of men, but in the Power of God. This not is not to point anyone out. But to warn, its not always what it looks like. Some are being deceived to a point they don't know that they are deceived. A good example can be found in 1 Corinthians 2. The complete Chapter is good but read verse 8. People of God we must read and study the Bible for ourselves and not align our lives to books about other people personal experiences with God. God Word will reveal His purpose for you. Stay Prayerful and watch the walk.

You don’t have a Right To Judge Others

Congratulations, God has blessed us to witness another New Month. We thank Him continually for His Grace & Mercy towards us. As Ministers, We always have an opportunity to discuss the Goodness of God.  Even when situations don’t happen the way We want it. God is still Good to His People. We are living in times where some are so full of fear. And they are not thinking realistically. This is when we must seek God and continue to draw help from His Word. 

One area we must keep a close watch on is Judging Others. This action will put us in danger of giving the devil access to our hearts. The place of darkness where death is manifested from fear. I pray that you consider what and who you are Judging. Because you really don’t want to be an agent for the devil. By being disobedient to God and opening a curse over your life.  God  has made this Subject plain. Do not Judge others. In reality, you are Judging yourself . Amen,  We want to stay in position where Our Covenant Rights flows from the Kingdom of God.  And this  is only motivated by the Love of God. And keeping His commandments over Our Lives. Below is what Jesus taught usin Matthew 7.[ Easy Read Version. ]

Matthew 7:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible 

Jesus then said, ‘Do not say to anyone, “You are a bad person.” If you do that, God will say to you, “You are a bad person.” 2 God will think about you in the same way that you think about other people. He will use the same rules for you as you use for other people.

3 Perhaps you want to tell your friend about his little mistake. If you want to do that, first remember your own bigger mistakes. 

Supernatural Sight, Ye Must Be Born- Again!

 Good Day Friends , Happy Mother’s Day Weekend. To All the Mothers here on Earth and in the Eternal. Let’s talk about Kingdom Rights and how to access there. First, Praise God for the gift of Salvation. How many times have we tried to explain being Born-again to an Unbeliever? You will find that they can only see and judge from the natural point of view. They are watching the external while God has equipped us to see the spiritual which in essence we see in dual realms. No, having Salvation does not make anyone perfect but we are consistent. And the Holy Spirit gives God's People restraints. Amen. Next time you have a conversation with a non-believer, remember, they cannot see into the Kingdom realm. And think about Jesus response to Nicodemus. You must Be Born-again. Enjoy the Blessings of God, and Be Thankful.

John 3:5-7

Jesus answered, “I speak an eternal truth: Unless you are born of water and Spirit-wind, you will never enter God’s kingdom realm. 6 For the natural realm can only give birth to things that are natural, but the spiritual realm gives birth to supernatural life!

7 “You shouldn’t be amazed by my statement,‘You must be born from above!’ 8 For the Spirit-wind blows as it chooses. You can hear its sound,

but you don’t know where it came from or where it’s going. So it is within the hearts of those who are Spirit-born!”
