Freedom

Today as I was in meditating in the things of God. There was a thought that pierce through my spirit. It is an issue that has imprisoned many Christians.  And the issue is Envy yes envy is alive in the Body of Christ. James spoke about what envy does in 

James 3:16Expanded Bible (EXB)

Where ·jealousy [or envy] and ·selfishness [selfish ambition] are, there will be ·confusion [chaos; disorder] and every ·kind of evil [evil thing/practice].

Many times a Christian will be a vehicle for the enemy to use them and not be aware that it exist. We must recognize that the spirit of envy comes in many forms. One of the enemy greatest tools is to come against spiritual gifts. A person may admire what God is doing in ones life and the next moment envy steps in. Doubts of who they are in the Lord and why haven't they experience that particular gift. These gifts are given by God for the operation of the Spirit for the Church. So why as the Church would we envy for the good of the Church? We wouldn't , it is a demonic snare. We read about the descriptions and  purpose of the gifts in. 

*Corinthians 12:7-11Expanded Bible (EXB)

Something from the Spirit can be seen in [The manifestation/disclosure of the Spirit is given to]each person, for the common good. 8 The Spirit gives one person the ·ability to speak with wisdom [message/word of wisdom], and the same Spirit gives another the ·ability to speak with knowledge [message/word of knowledge]. 9 The same Spirit gives faith to one person. And, to another, that one Spirit gives gifts of healing. 10 The Spirit gives to another person ·the power to do miracles [works of power], to another ·the ability to prophesy [prophecy]. And he gives to another the ·ability to know the difference between good and evil [discernment/distinguishing of] spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of ·languages [or ecstatic utterance; tongues] and to another the ·ability to interpret those languages [interpretation of tongues]. 11 One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things, and the Spirit ·decides what to give [distributes just as he wishes to] each person.

     We must take a good look at ourselves  and examine every motive we have to be sure we are acting in love and not envy.  The spirit of envy is Bad Fruit because the Word tells that every evil work is attached to it. We don't have to be in prisoned by this spirit. God want His people to experience freedom and that can only be accomplished through the Fruits of the Spirit.

*Galatians 5:22-23Expanded Bible (EXB)

But the ·Spirit produces the fruit of [fruit of the Spirit is] love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, ·faithfulness [or faith], 23 gentleness, self-control. ·There is no law that says these things are wrong [or No law can oppose such things].

Let's Pray, 

Father God, Thank You for your Precious Holy Spirit. And for showing us the hidden things that would hinder you from doing great works in our lives. Father God, we repent from envying and we ask for your forgiveness now. In Jesus Name! 

We are Free.

Living in the Kingdom of God.

Living in the Kingdom of God

I went back to some of my notes from some time ago. And I decide to share some of my thoughts about Kingdom Keys.  There is a place where mind renewal is needed to operate in the Kingdom of God. It's a place where our faith operates on another dimensional ability. This may sound strange or out there for some but the things of God doesn't exist in your mental capacity.  Faith is the opposite of fear. Living by the world standards is fear motivated. It operates by reason and arguments. In the  Kingdom lifestyle we reason also but we are able to base our decisions by the Holy Spirit. It is He that reigns superior in our reality and guides us to our rightful place. This is why Mind Renewal is vital to Kingdom Minded People of God. ( Romans 12:1-3 )

Remember renew your minds in God.  It's a Kingdom lifestyle.

1 Cor. 3:19-21 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21Therefore let no man glory in men

Do You Trust Your Shepherd?

Do you Trust your Shepherd

In John 10:14 -17

" I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. "

One of the most powerful Kingdom Keys that explains Followers of Jesus ( Good Shepherd). It goes on in details of sheep following the leading of our Shepherd, Our Lord Jesus Christ. We read about David the Shepherd boy heeded the calling of the importance of a Shepherd. He learned the duties and the responsibility of a Shepherd from his ancestors.  So when he wrote Psalm 23, he fully explained the synching of the natural and the supernatural provisions, protection, guidance and everything the sheep. ( Us) needs.  This Psalm is for the People of God that's obedient to the voice of the True Shepherd.  Read and Refresh yourselves about the care God has provided for  His sheep.  And ask yourself .....Do I trust my Shepherd? 

Psalms 23

1 The Eternal is my shepherd, He cares for me always.
2 He provides me rest in rich, green fields
    beside streams of refreshing water.
    He soothes my fears;
3 He makes me whole again,
    steering me off worn, hard paths
    to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name.

4 Even in the unending shadows of death’s darkness,
    I am not overcome by fear.
Because You are with me in those dark moments,
    near with Your protection and guidance,
    I am comforted.

5 You spread out a table before me,
    provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies;
You care for all my needs, anointing my head with soothing, fragrant oil,
    filling my cup again and again with Your grace.
6 Certainly Your faithful protection and loving provision will pursue me
    where I go, always, everywhere.
I will always be with the Eternal,
    in Your house forever.
