Our Spiritual Roots Grows Deeper in Trials.

 Have you ever wondered to yourself what is the purpose of Trials and Test?  In reality it  seems sometimes once we come out of one there is another.  I've heard Some say, maybe the lessons wasn't learned. So we must repeat. And there may be some truth to this.  But let's read from the Book of James Chapter 1 verses 2 -4.

 2) Dear Brothers and Sisters,  whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for JOY. 

3) For when your Faith is tested , your endurance has a chance to grow.  4) So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.

One important Key to growing and effectively continuing  in discipleship in this Christian Life is *Enduring.

A Key part of *Endurance is Patience. The  Greek Word  used for *Endurance  (Which I look up in  verse 3)  is the word Hupomone which means" A Patient *Enduring"  This cheerful Enduring Patience, helps us to continue our Walk with God.  And it  actually develops in times of Testing and Hardship.  During these trials and storms of life, Our Spiritual Roots Grows Deeper, Strengthening Our Faith.  If we really had our way , most of us would avoid  this part of our lives.  Yet we go back to the Word of God Promises in ( 1 Corinthians 10:13) Where He said He will never give us more than we can handle.

When we are open to the truth. We realize these times of trials and testing will make us better or bitter. It's really up to us to choose the way to take. When we are in relationship with God that's based on Faith and not what we feel like. We will Grow Stronger as James 1:3 teaches us " Be Strong in Character and Ready for anything."   

Who Is Jesus

 Hello and Welcome People of God. All Glory belongs to God.  We Praise and Thank God! For All He has and will be done in this world, and to the World to come. What exciting times we are living. The Word of God has assured us  Prophecy shall be fulfilled. And as we watch it unfolds, Please if you are not Saved or you are not sure. Repent of your sins and ask God to saved you. Confess that Jesus is the Lord of your life. It’s just that simple. Amen. If You are New or have already done so. Welcome to Your New Life and Welcome back.

Just recently I was meditating on who Jesus is as a person that I should imitate. And behold! The Holy Spirit came with the answer I was seeking and an example. He made it  plain to me. The first answer was...

"Jesus Christ"  "He was and is Jesus ( the Earthly  Man) Our Lord in this Earthly Realm," " He is the Christ ( The Anointed One ) Here  and in All Eternity.  

Another Example- In Matthew 16:13-20 ( Read complete chapter ) Peter was ask the same question. 

" Who do men say “ *I Am “? ( *Exodus 3:14 )  His response came from the Natural and Supernatural Realm as Jesus confirmed it was so.  In a sense Simon became Born again . And that is who we are in Him. When we Confessed  that Jesus is Lord of Our Life. We became One of His Disciples living and operating in dual realms as Our Lord Jesus.  As Jesus replied to Simon , You are Blessed, because Our Father in Heaven revealed this to you and not a human. And He renamed him Peter ( The Rock ) and upon this Revelation I Will Build My Church. And Jesus gave us the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven as well. Hallelujah!!!! People of God that’s Who He is and Who we  are in Him. Amen. Until We meet again, May the Peace of God be with you. In Jesus Name.

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not [a]prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth [b]will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

20 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

Eat the Fat and Spit Out the Bones

 Praise God for His Goodness towards His People.  I’m sorry for missing the month of February. But All is Well and We are thanking God for it. I know the Title of this Blog sounds off but this is how the Holy Spirit gave it to me. When I asked Him a question.

  Now I know you want to know what was the question. And it was this. Lord what is going on with this world? How can our world as we know it be flipped? People , Ministries, and Churches have  different opinions, doctrines and not the ways of God. The first answer was prophecy will be fulfilled. Deception would come to many. He warned us in the Word of God concerning deception. The first thing that people talk about ,Is when prayer was taken out of the School.  (Deuteronomy 11:19) teaches Parents are responsible to teach their children the ways of God not Schools. That is an excuse and irresponsibility.  Next is spoken on a platform  is Abortion . Exodus 20:13 teaches  God hates Murder, I believe He means this completely in the womb and out. But Society wants to keep us in one area while committing murders.  

   Here are some Bible Scriptures on Deception. ( Bones )

Galatians 6:7-8 Don't Be Deceived . 1 John 4:1 Beloved Believe not ever spirit.  

One of the examples of eating the [Fat of the Word of God] . Is Read your Bible yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you. James 1:22 teaches us to Be Doers of the Word.  Romans 12: 2 teaches us to Not be conformed to this world. 

 Here is the [Fat of the Word.] Hebrews 3:13 teaches But exhort one another daily, while it’s called today, lest any of you be harder through the  deceitfulness of sin.

In Malachi 3: 16-18 then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them, so a book of remembrance was written before him, for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on his name. 17 they shall be mine, says the Lord of host on the day that I made them my jewels. And I will spare them as a man spare his own son who serves him. 18 then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked between one who serves God and one who does not serve him. Read full chapter. Amen!  So as we continue on Our journey of Faith. Remember when you hear anything. [Eat the Fat of the Word and spit out the bones. ] It doesn’t provide nutrients to your spirit . Until Time, Keep God First, and You will never Be Last.

We Are Coming Out with Our Hands Up!

 Happy New Year 2025. Praise God for His Goodness.

As we enter this New Year, We must stay alert in the spirit against spiritual attacks. There is so much happening in the world. But to the Glory of God we are in the world and not of it.  Amen.  Of course We have on the Full Amour of God. [ Ephesians 6 ]  But coupled with another Powerful Weapon. Is Our Praises to God.  It releases the presence of God in the all circumstances. I remember as a kid watching Westerns on TV,   The was always a demand saying, Come Out with your hands up!  Well for God"s People it means we are not giving up. We are coming out with the  Power Weapons  of Praise. I have experience this personally.  One testimony I had, Myself and a Sister in the Lord was walking home from Church. With our children running ahead of us. As we walked talking about the goodness of God. The Holy Spirit alerted us to pray in the Spirit. Which we did as We continued to pray and walk. There in some tall grass a man stood up from no where. As we came closer, to him  his eyes got wide and ran off. We knew God had aborted whatever the plan was. At the  moment we were obedient. We Praised God! Because of His Protection toward us as His People.

And just as God showed up for Jehoshaphat in [2 Chronicles 20 [ Read Complete Chapter ]  When those tribes sought to attack  them. Jehoshaphat  was afraid but the People went into prayer. Seeking God for help. The Lord sent word to them, that they would not have to fight.  Just stand in your place  of position and they began to Sing and Praise God.  And  what happened?  God set ambushes against those that came to attack His People. That's the Power of Praise!!! Glory to God.  The next time the devil comes against you. Remember to take place and stand in position, lift up your hands  and heart in praise. And watch God fight for you. Amen.  And tell your enemy that you are "Coming Out with Your hands Up in Praise unto God". Until next time, Stay Blessed
