Be Not Dismayed!!!

While we as Christains can see by the signs of the times, we are in the Last Days.  Ok some may say for generations people have said the same words. People its worst, darkness is covering the earth. And we must maintain our light of God to beam bright in a sin sick world. I want to encourage those that are working in this last harvest. Do not be discouraged in your heart and minds. God will strengthen everything we put our hands to. He will be glorified! This is Gods answer to these things....

Words of encouragement to drive out Discouragement! 

 

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

John16:33

I've said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Romans 8:31

 When shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Philippians 4:8

  Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Colossians 3:1-4

 

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Preparing for Battle

Preparing for Battle

As prophecy is being revealed at a  rapid speed. We can look back and see how the enemy has been setting up events for this moment. Weeks ago a well known celebrity chose to come out as another gender. Then weeks later the Supreme Court ruling on Same-Sex marriages. And before we can get over this news, here comes more wickedness. A man walks in a Church, ask for the Pastor( Which they accept with Love in their Bible Study) guns down 9 people.  Now we are faced with more terrorism  by the burning of Churches here in the U.S. as if it's 1960's. News agency's are now preparing us for terrorist attacks from Isis at Holiday Celebrations. Weather patterns  are changing before our eyes. And people are in fear blaming men instead of seeing who is really behind these acts. God has warned us in His Word that these things must come to pass. 

        Just this week I had a mini vision, " That we must be sensitive to the Holy Spirit to receive direction in this hour." There are Spiritual mine fields that are full of snares and traps of the enemy that awaits our every step. We need the Holy Spirit to reveal where they are by shining the Light of God on them. As we go deeper in these last hours we must walk in the Spirit and  choose to stay in Love. Not by the way we feel but by choice. It's the only way we will be victorious. Arm yourselves in the Word of God and the leading of His Spirit. Stay Blessed!

Here's a translation from the Message Bible that goes in detail...

Ephesians 6:11-18The Message (MSG)

A Fight to the Finish

10-12 And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.

13-18 Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.

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.

Releasing Your Future With Your Mouth !

Father, thank You for making us righteous and accepted through the Blood of Jesus.  Because of that, we are blessed and highly favored by You, according to Psalm 5:12.  We are the object of Your affection.  Your favor surrounds us as a force field, and the first thing that people come into contact with is our favor shield.

 

“Thank You that we have favor with You and man today.  All day long, people go out of their way to bless us and to help us.  We have favor with everyone that we deal with today.  Doors that were once closed are now opened for us.  We receive preferential treatment, and we have special privileges.  We are God’s favored children.

 

“No good thing will You withhold from us.  Because of Your favor, our enemies cannot triumph over us.  We have supernatural increase and promotion in all we set our hands to.  We declare restoration of everything that the devil has stolen from us.  We have honor in the midst of our adversaries and an increase of assets – especially in real estate and an expansion of territory.  You are enlarging us, prospering us and favoring us supernaturally.  The Angels of God are causing favor and increase to come to us.

 

“Because we are New Creations in Christ, have right standing with You and are highly favored by You, we experience great victories, supernatural turnarounds and miraculous breakthroughs in the midst of great impossibilities.

 

“Because we are seated at Your right hand in Jesus, we receive recognition, prominence and honor.  Petitions are granted to us even by ungodly authorities.  Policies, rules, regulations and laws are changed and reversed on our behalf.  Decrees either written or spoken against us are overturned by the Spirit of God and work in our favor, to our advantage, supernaturally.  Even that which our enemies intend for our harm works to our advantage.

 

“We win battles that we don’t even have to fight, because You fight them for us.  This is the day, the set time and the designated moment for us to experience the free favors of God that profusely and lavishly abound on our behalf.  In Jesus’ Strong Name – Amen.”

What are you celebrating?

Happy Resurrection Day! People of God!
I wanted to touch on an issue that most Christians don't like to hear about and that is pagan celebrations. We don't have to be labeled Super Christians or Holy Rollers to understand what the Bible tells us about imitating the world and  Compromising  the Word of God. Before my spiritual eyes became open I celebrated  Chrismas with ( Santa which has the letters satan) instead of the real reason Jesus. Now the word Easter is another name by the world to be a distraction from Christ. With cute bunnies and eggs and parading new clothes.  Beloved, God commanded His People to be separated and come out from among them ( World ) Some may say that this may be from the Law but what we do here on earth could affect generations to come.  Be very careful what you are celebrating.......Heres what God has said about it.

Exodus 20:1-5 Expanded Bible (EXB)

20 Then God spoke all these words:

2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt ·where you were slaves [L from the house of bondage].

3 “You must not have any other gods ·except [or before] me.

4 “You must not make for yourselves an idol that looks like anything in the ·sky [heavens] above or on the earth below or in the water below the ·land [earth]. 5 You must not worship or serve them, because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. ·If you hate me, I will punish your children, and even your grandchildren and great-grandchildren [L I will visit/punish the guilt of the fathers on the sons/T children until the third and fourth generations of those who hate me].
