Honor God With Your Time.

Honor God With Your Time.

Have you ever spent alone time with God and  become consume with the Holy Spirit? There is a Godly Reverence that floods and saturates our  spirit. Which causes us to sync with the Spirit of God. I can only imagine what it must felt like with the Fall of Man through Adam and Eve. The guilt, feelings  of remorse and knowing they could return to a place that God created for them.  And above all, the closeness that only comes through Fellowship with the Father. And knowing the state they were in I'm sure God sent His word to comfort them. Because God is Love. Our God created us to live in a fruitful Garden and Commune with Him. It was never intended for His people to perish. 

     One point that I've learned from Adam and Eve. And that's to stay in the Spirit and not in sight. The enemy ( satan ) will deceived us by causing things look pleasant to the eye. When God has genuine pleasant things around us that's better. I want to encourage someone today. The more of the Word of God ( Jesus ) you consume, the greater reverence you will have for the God . Amen. So Stay Blessed until the next time.

James 4: 7 -10

"So give yourselves to God. Stand against the devil and he will run away from you. 8 Come close to God and He will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners. Clean up your hearts, you who want to follow the sinful ways of the world and God at the same time. 9 Be sorry for your sins and cry because of them. Be sad and do not laugh. Let your joy be turned to sorrow. 10 Let yourself be brought low before the Lord. Then He will lift you up and help you."

Can God Trust You.

Can God trust you?

During my quiet time with the Lord. The thought came to me about trust. Many times we put our trust in others only to be disappointed. Because many people don't walk in integrity. Can you just imagine how many times we disappointed God in areas of trust?. Paul describes the trust God has in us in this scripture........

1 Corinthians 4:1-2

People should think of us as servants of Christ, ·the ones God has trusted with his [and stewards/household managers of God’s] ·secrets [mysteries]. 2 Now in this way ·those who are trusted with something valuable [stewards; household managers] must ·show they are worthy of that trust [be found faithful]. 

When I read this, I repented for not seeing the depth of trust that God has in me. And as always I apply the Word to my life first before I look at others. But I've come across many that are deceived in their hearts that they are in truth. They think it's nothing to lie and mistrust others. Telling fables and envying others  Thinking its a small thing. No it's not a small thing if we can't be trusted by others. Imagine how much can God trust us.

Paul explains the attributes    of a mature believer in a way that may be easily contrasted with the desires of an immature believer. He spoke about seeking love and truth more than popularity, embracing suffering rather than comfort. In essence he disregards popularity and comfort  so that he isn’t distracted from the love and truth of Jesus. This could be a powerful force in the world if believers embraced this type of maturity in truth.

      So I want you ( The Reader ) examine your heart. Can God trust you as His Servant? Can He trust you to seek Him with your whole heart? Can He trust you to be Still to hear and know His will to show it with love to others?  Only you have the answer to this question. And only God sees your heart felt answer. Amen. Be Blessed! In Jesus Name.

What If ?

What If?

In our lifetime there is always challenges, choices and decisions. But there is one question that some may ask. And it is, " Suppose this was my last day on earth?" How would I really act? Would I go and call friends and loved ones? Would I give everything I own away? Maybe I would fast and pray for direction from the Lord. This could be a very hard decision if we didn't  know whether we are going to Heaven or not. This could be a place of examination of our actions and how we've treated others. Could repenting to God make this easier? What If?

      Through the short time we have on earth. I am reminded of God's  instructions on how we should live by His Word. One scripture that makes this point is  in,

2 Peter 1:3-4 

"His divine power has given us everything we need to experience life and to reflect God’s true nature through the knowledge of the One who called us by His glory and virtue. 4 Through these things, we have received God’s great and valuable promises, so we might escape the corruption of worldly desires and share in the divine nature."

* God took the first step to rescue us from this corrupt world. He has granted us His power, revealed to us true knowledge, and spoken to us great promises. He has done all this for a reason: that we might participate in His own nature and reflect His own life. But we are not passive observers of God’s saving actions. We must receive His grace, grow in knowledge, and join Him in this work of redemption.

   So the answer is clear to, What If?  We serve a Loving God that rescued us from death unto life. And  He gave us everything we need through this transitional stage of life. We don't have to wonder,  What if God gave us one day to stay on earth.

 God has made it simple be  obedient and live according to His Will. 

If you have a question about where you are spending eternity. And you haven't  received Jesus as your Lord. Repent of your sins and invite Him in your life today. And you will never have to live a questionable life. Amen

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
