WHEN WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE WALK IN DOUBT AND FEAR

Matthews 8:26 He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?”* Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

We all have room for Spiritual growth and improvement, especially in times of trouble.   God KNOWS our faith is not strong enough to stand on His Word alone in difficult times. Why? Because we are in Spiritual warfare daily, and if we fight this battle daily in the flesh, we will get weary.   So we need “no, we must” be in full body armor (the Word) at all times.  Even the strongest believer needs to study the Word daily; we must study to remain active in the Spirit and strong in faith.  Studying develops decrement, wisdom, knowledge, self-control and keeps us focused as we walk with Christ.  When we are not in the Spirit, we are in the flesh, and most of us spend more time in the flesh than we do in the Spirit.  Now when we walk in the flesh, we are unprotected, so we feel alone and afraid, and that fear causes us to make bad decisions. But, when we walk in His will, we won't be afraid, although we know there’s much to fear because we know the God we serve has the power to rebuke our troubles and give us peace in the storm.

Father, strengthen our faith and help us with our doubt and fear.  Lord, when we are in the middle of a storm, surround us with Your presence so we may not be afraid.  Give us a strong desire for Your Word so that we may walk with You daily.  Lord, help us fight our daily battle in Your will and keep a hedge of protection around us.  Father, forgive us for doubts and worry; because we are in the flesh.  Lord, continue to broaden our territory and shield us from pain.  Father, remove every obstacle that keeps us from sitting at Your feet and hindering our blessing, in Jesus' name Amen.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

TO MANY HYPOCRITE

James 2:14-26   what good is it, my brother, if someone says he has faith but does not have work? Can such faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without addressing their physical needs, what good is that? In the same way, faith alone, which is not accompanied by actions, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

How can we have mega Churches that seat thousands of people but won't open their doors to the homeless when it's cold outside? When a new member joins the Church but has no clothes to wear, why do we not empty our closets to them instead of judging what they wear? How could we throw away food when so many hungry children in our neighborhoods have not eaten? How can we call ourselves Christian but do not address the issues and needs of our people? We must do more than attend Church service; we cannot keep overlooking people in need; if everyone gave a little, it would have a significant impact.

Father, give us Your love to help those in need; Lord gives us Your guidance so we may not follow man, but focus on You.  Give us Your protection, so we may protect those who cannot defend themselves. Lord, produce in us Christ-like character so that we can be Your disciples and not worldly Christians. Lord, give us compassion for our seniors and children, especially those that cannot help themselves. Lord, touch the hearts of all Spiritual Leaders with kindness to do the right thing by the people and not just themselves. Father, teach us how to Fast to develop reverence and humility when we pray. Our Father, who is in heaven Holy be Your name, let Your kingdom come, and You will be done for us as it is in heaven. Lord, give us the wisdom of Your Word and forgive us of our sins, and help us forgive those who have sinned against us. Lord, thank You for a new life, health, and strength, in Jesus' name Amen.

ALL BELIEVERS SUFFER

All Believers suffer. You have, you are, or you will go "through many tribulations to enter the kingdom of God. Acts 14: 22 tells us, "they gave their disciples reassurances, and encouraged them to persevere in the faith with this instruction. We must undergo many trials if we are to enter into the reign of God." Jesus suffered a horrible death for our sins, so we too will experience suffering to enter heaven, and I do not think no one has or will suffer more than He did for us. Revelation 21:4 Tell us until the former world has passed away, we will experience crying, mourning, and death. 

But the good news is believers should not have to suffer alone Galatians 6:1-2 If another believer is overcome by sin or suffering; those who walk in Spirit are to help them back to the right path, but be careful not to fall into the same temptation ourselves. Believers must share each other burdens; because Christ took our responsibilities, so we can fulfill the law of Christ by helping others. And for those believers that feel they're too good to help others, you are only fooling yourselves; you are not that important. Besides, suffering prepares us for more glory and equips us for ministry.

Father, Your Word, explains why we must suffer; please help us be steadfast in our affliction and pain. Lord, You, undergone great pain and agony for our sins without complaining; so give us Your strength, patience, and courage so we will not complain. Lord, You are the supreme example of humility, and we recognize all that we have and who we are coming from Your humility. Please, Father, help us stay humble so we can focus more on You and others than we do ourselves. Father Solomon wrote, "A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment. So, for this reason, we are not to be lone rangers in our Spiritual walk. Lord, keep us away from hypocrites and surround us with like-minded people; so we can carry each other burdens and never be alone. Father, we know You walk with us, so continue ordering our steps in Your Word. In Jesus' name, we pray Amen.

THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

Amos 5:10 They hate the one who reproves at the gate and hate the one who speaks the truth.  John 3:19- 21 the judgment of condemnation is this: The Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness more than light because their deeds were wicked. 20 Everyone who practices evil hates the Light; he does not come near the Light for fear his deeds will be exposed. 21 But who acts in truth comes into the Light so that it may be clear his deeds are done in God.”…

I love all people, and my intention is not to offend anyone with my ministry; but I love Jesus more and if telling the truth about His Word offends anyone, you will have to take that up with God.  I am just the messenger of the Word not the Author of the Word.  Telling the truth about sin may be considered hatred by those who live in sin.  We can worship in the flesh, but to walk in Spirit; we must walk in truth.  God saved me from my sins, and He can save you, but only if you hear the truth.  My mission is to speak the truth, no matter how unpopular it may be.  Even Jesus was hated for telling the truth, Amos was expelled from the sanctuary for telling the truth, and John was beheaded for telling Herod the truth.  But, it is the truth that saves us, the truth and nothing but the truth.

Father, You said in Your Word that we will be hated and persecuted for speaking the truth of Your Word; so please put a hedge of protection around those who speak the truth.  Lord, so many Spiritual teachers, preach to please man, but what good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?  Father, our intention is not to offend anyone, but if we offend people by speaking the truth, so be it.  Lord, open the hearts and minds of believers so they may receive the truth of the Word and not parish.  Lord, incline our ears, so we can hear Your Word and apply Your doctrine to our hearts.  In Jesus name, Amen

WORST CASE OF IDENTITY THEFT EVER

One of the facts scripture give us about Israel (Ysrayl in the Hebrew tongue) is in regards to their physical appearance.  Throughout scripture, Israel is described as looking like the sons of Ham (Khawm in the Hebrew tongue), in physical appearance.  Ham was one of Noah’s three sons; Shem and Japheth were the other two.  Noah’s descendants repopulated the earth after the Great Flood.  Ham’s descendants are traced to the families of Africa.  Ham (Khawm) in Hebrew means BLACK, HOT, AND BURNT.

The truth be told when Jesus walked the earth; He was a dark skinned Jew, with curly hair.  This is why Jesus was able to hide in Egypt, and Judas had to identify Him with a kiss.  (Matthew 2:13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.") They searched but did not find Him, because He looked like the people around Him. (Matthew 26:48-49 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!”)

Father, help Your people understand who and what You are and do not follow the image man has given You.  Father, replace our stolen legacy and teach us that we are one; separated by man, religion, hate, and jealousy.  Lord, bless Israel Your chosen people and give back what was stolen from them.  Lord, help us live in harmony with each other; no matter the color of our skin, because we are one.  Father, let us not have lip and eye service to impress man; but be loyal, honest and faithful to Your WORD.  Father, true believers, know we cannot hate our brother and sister and walk with You; we cannot be unforgiving and expect to be forgiven.  Lord,  show us that we must follow You in truth; not of our understanding, but how it is written IN YOUR WORD.  Lord, we know that we cannot go against Your Word and say we walk in Spirit; because Your Word is Spirit, and those that walk in the world is not of You.  Lord, continue blessing us and order our steps in Your will.  We come to You for clarity in Jesus name Amen

THE SEED

THE SEED

There is a seed planted in us at birth, but sometimes the seed is damaged with dark soil, and it will not grow.  No matter how much nourishment is given, the seed will not develop Fruit.  But, the good seeds that do take roots and grow; still needs pruning daily for them to continue producing good Fruit.  A good tree can be chopped down because; the roots are strong and profound so the tree will grow again.  But if the tree has shallow roots it cannot be chopped down, because the roots will be exposed and the tree will die.   We must expose our seeds to the light for them to grow, and feeding the source of the tree with nourishment daily will make them grow strong and deep.

People are the same; people with dark souls will never receive Christ.  Then some people study the Word and say they believe in the Word, but they willfully sin against the Word.  But the Word says (Luke 13: 26Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with You, and we taught in the streets.’ 27And He will tell you, I do not know where you come from, get away from me all that do evil 28There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.…) Then some people try with all their hearts to seek God first; in everything they do and obey His commandments.  Now sometimes this group of people also gets weak, but they have the wisdom and knowledge of the Word.  So they repent, ask for forgiveness, and turn away from sin, and they are restored with the Father.

Father, You knew us before we were born; and You planted Your seed in our hearts of right and wrong.  Please, water our seeds with Your Word, so we will grow into the people You created us to be.  Lord, guide us to a good lifestyle and help guide and protect our children.  Lord, give us a kind and gentle Spirit for those who are sick and in need of You.  Father, let Your light shine brighter each day and nourish our hearts so they will develop good Spiritual Fruit.  Lord, give us Your courage to preach Your Word in its truth so that we can draw the lost into the light, with the Spirit of truth.  Father, give us the patient so we will not walk ahead of You; and help us to love others as You love us.  We pray to You in our Savior name Amen

LET'S PRAY ON ONE ACCORD

   

1 Chronicles' 16:34 Oh give thank unto the Lord; for He is good, and His love endures forever

Lord, thank You for mercy and peace; that gives our Spirits rest.  Thank You for all the Spiritual Soldiers You use as vessels to help and strengthen us.  Thank You for the wisdom and truth of Your Word and the courage to speak the truth to others.   We are grateful to You for the knowledge and the Holy Spirit that helps us implement the Word in our lives.  Thank You for Your love that allows us to forgive those who wronged us.  Thank you for Your blessings; You so graciously give to those that obey You and to those that do Your work.  Thank You for Your patience that keeps us from walking ahead of You.  Thank You for Your guidance that helps us find our way back to You.  Thank You for the gentleness and kindness that compels us to help others.  Lord, we thank You for the Spirit of forbearance, which gives us discipline and tolerance in times of suffering without becoming anxious.  Thank You, Father, for the Spirit of Faithfulness that helps us believe in Your promise, even when it seems impossible.  Open our hearts and minds to the truth of Your Word, and give us the courage to teach the truth to others.  Lord, we thank You for a new day, to be better than we were yesterday.  Lord, we pray to You without ceasing in Jesus' name 

Amen

GOD WILL EMPOWER HIS PEOPLE

Matthew 11:28-29 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will refresh you. Take my Yoke upon your shoulders and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and your soul will find rest." God's Yoke is easy to bear, and the burdened He gives us is light." So Isaiah 40:29-31 God gives strength to the fainting; he makes vigor abound for the weak. So though young men faint and grow weary, and youths stagger and fall, they that hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar as with eagles' wings; they will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint. 

We all get weary sometimes, but this is the time we turn to God and leave our burdened at the Altar, and God will refresh our Spirits. God will empower the weak and give us strength. Even seasoned believers get tired and fall from exhaustion; of day-to-day life in this lost world, we need the Word for the Lord's power to survive. Trusting in the Lord, we will find new strength; He will give us wings like eagles to soar above all our problems, doubts, and fears.

.

Lord, we believe, but sometimes we get weak and overburdened with life issues. Father, teach us to turn to You in times of trouble so that You can refresh our Spirits. Lord, give us Your strength and courage to stand on Your Word and not Weaver. Lord, You said You will renew us and give us wings like Eagles to soar when we stagger and fall. Father, we trust You, and we believe You will keep Your promise. Father, nothing gives us more joy than remembering the great things You have done for us. So Holy Spirit, please empower us to believe what we can't see and keep us in God's will, in Jesus' name Amen.

MY QUOTE FOR TODAY

A SPIRITUAL

RELATIONSHIP IS ETERNAL

AND

A FLESHLY RELATIONSHIP

IS SHORT LIVED

Written by Rosemary Dixon

SIN BEGETS SIN

First sin:     We fornicate, we get pregnant

Second sin: we have an abortion

Third sin:    or we have a bastard child

Forth sin:    now we medicate our sin with drugs or alcohol

The point is most times one sin leads to another, like a fire in a forest.  Once the fire starts it moves from one tree to the next; devouring everything in its path.  Sometimes after the fire, the forest will begin to grow again; with the right food (the Word).  But, sometimes times the fire burns so hot and dark; it damages the roots, then the trees fall.  (James 1:14-15 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bring forth death

 Lord, we know the truth, and we will not willfully sin, but Lord, when we get weak, please give us Your strength.  Father, we cannot willfully sin and walk with You, because You will not know us.  Lord, help us follow Your Words and not the laws of man that stand against Your Word.  Lord, You gave us a choice to obey Your Word, or to live in sin; Father we choose to walk with You and obey the Word.  So, Lord we repent of the sin and we ask for Your forgiveness, as we turn away from our sins.  In Jesus name, we pray Amen

WALK IN TRUTH

God sacrificed His only Son to overcome sin, what more do we think He will do to us; to overcome sin.  We have become so comfortable with sin; we have change man’s laws to justify living in it several times. But, every time we change man’s laws; against God’s Word we always get a negative outcome; But, God Word will not change.  This world will pass away as we know it; but what is written in the Word will live on, yes live on.  The Word of God is a living organism it speaks to our hearts and minds; if we understand it in truth.  How can we say we walk with God, and live in what God see as sin?  (I John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.)

Father, bless us indeed, broaden our territory, keep us from sin, and allow us to cause You no shame.  Thank You for dying to save us, and thank You for delivering us from our sins.  Help us love and serve You and other with all our hearts.  Father, we recognize that You were in the beginning, and You were with God.  Lord, we drink the water that You give; so we will never be thirsty, and we will be living witnesses for You.  In Jesus name, Amen

GOD’S PROMISE TO US

The Bible is the word of God, and it is powerful and life changing.  2 Timothy 3:16-17 is God first promise to us.  “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching for reproof, correction, and training in holiness.  So that the man of God may be fully competent, and equipped for every good work."  God’s Word shares His divine authority, and that authority is exercised through those who are ministers of the Word.  Now if they preach the truth of God’s Word, it makes us realize what is wrong in our lives.  It will correct us and teach us to do what is right.  God’s Word also enables us to share in His divine nature and escape our sinful nature caused by our worldly desires.  God’s promise us in “Jeremiah 29:11-12 He has a plan for us, says the Lord, a plan for our welfare, not for woe! Plans to give us a future full of hope.  And when we call Him, when we go to pray to Him, He will listen to us."  The Word tells us "If we look for God wholeheartedly, we will find Him."

God promise us that His Word has the power to change our lives; we just need a real desire to change.  The Word will deliver us from whatever sin, addiction, or problem we face; I know because He delivered me.  Once He delivers us He will give us guidance to the plans He has for us, a plan for good and not a disaster.

Father, right now there’s someone who needs to hear You, Lord in their minds they want to change, but the devil has a toe hold on them.  Lord, give them the desire to seek You wholeheartedly so they will find You.  Lord, use us as a vessel to draw them to Your Word, so Your divine power can change their hearts and lives right now in the name of Jesus.  Father release them from drugs and alcohol addictions, release them from prostitution, release them from whatever chains that have them bound and equip them for every good work.  Lord, show them Your plan for their lives, a plan to give them a future full of hope.  Father, You said, if we call You when we pray you will listen to us.  Please hear us now in Jesus name Amen.

SAVE OUR CHILDREN

Father, as children we were Baptist with water by our Spiritual Leaders, once we said we repent and receive Christ as our Savior.  Even though, most of the children did not understand the significance of what was going on or why.  We did not figure out what repent meant or why we should do it; until we became adults. The adults  that continued  studying the Word of God and did not stray.  However, if the seed was planted  When We Were Young we will returned as the Word says in Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  Although we did not understand, we had a connection because of the seed that was planted as a child.  We must teach our children about the Lord, and what God expect from them as children of God.  We must also discipline them when their wrong, but our government feels we should not.  The Word says in “Proverbs 29:15 - The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bring his mother to shame.”  Proverbs 22:15 - Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from them.  There are more and more young people being arrested or killed by another child than ever before, why is that? Could it be that our government has taken the rights of the parents to raise their children under the instruction of our Father

 Anytime we do what is against God’s will we get a negative result.  The Word says in Deuteronomy 6:7 - And thou shall teach them diligently unto our children, and shall talk of them when we sit in our house, and when we walk by the way, and when we lie down, and when we rise up.  We have taken prayer and Bibles out of schools, we cannot talk about God in public places, and most do not hear about God at home.  We have failed our children and our God, by allowing God to be removed from our lives.  Deuteronomy 12:32 whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it.

Lord, there is so much interference in our lives, because You are being removed daily from society; have we not learned from our past mistakes about Sodom and Gomorrah.  Lord, let us not provoke our children to anger, so we do not discourage them. Lord, we must teach our children the scriptures, because Scripture is the inspiration of God, and the doctrine we use for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.  Father, a foolish parent will despise Your instruction on how to raise their children, but a parent that regard reproof is prudent.  Lord, You said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come to You, if we want them to be productive, in this lost world and to see Your Kingdom, we must teach them the Word.  In Jesus name Amen

UNDERSTANDING THE WORD IS ESSENTIAL

Correct communication of the Word is essential for understanding God’s will for us.  Too often in God’s House, the message we receive is not the message God intended for us to hear; because people are teaching for man’s glory and not God’s will.  False teachings are very dangerous for the deliverer of the Word and the listener of the Word.  Matthew 24:24 "For false Christ’s and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. None of us are so holy that we cannot be misled; but as long as we know God’s Word, we can use them to find our way back to the path of God. The Word says those that mislead God’s people; (“Revelation 20:10 and the devil who deceived them were thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”) will be held accountable for their action.  Some Spiritual leaders and people of God have gotten so full of themselves; they feel that they are invincible to God’s wrath.  Or those that know the Word and believe they will live in sin until Christ return and they will then repent and be saved.  But Christ could return at any moment, and if we are not ready when He comes, you will be left behind. 

Father, we have to study Your Words and understand that everything You said will come to pass; and when You return, we must be ready.  So, Lord, help us be the people You created us to be; so we will make it through the narrow Gates.  Father, let us not be misled by false teachings and let our light shine on those who are still in darkness. Lord, we are the salt of the earth, but what good are we if we have lost our flavor in You.  Father, You are the light of our lives, but what good does Your light serve if we keep it hidden from those in the darkness, that needs to see.  Lord, let us be the light that guides our children, family, and friends, to You.  Lord, give us clarity that You did not come to abolish the laws of Moses, but You came to accomplish the law purpose.  Father, help us understand until heaven and earth disappear not even the smallest detail of Your law will disappear until Your purpose for us has been achieved.  So for the Spiritual teachers and worldly Christians that ignore Your commandment and teach others to do the same, they will be called the least in Your Kingdom.  Father, please give us the blessing of the Holy Spirit that will help us obey and honor Your Word, in Jesus name Amen

CHRISTIANS THAT LIVE IN SIN

A subject that reveals our sins will not be appealing to us.  No one who has had an abortion want to talk about it, most times they are a shame of their sin.  KKK wear hoods to hide who the Haters are people that hate enough to kill a person, because of what they believe in, or the color of their skin.  People, who live in the flesh, do not want to hear God’s Word about their sins.  People that desire worldly things do not care about the consequence of their sins.  It is only when sinners separate themselves from the world and accepts Christ as their Savior then they begin their Spiritual Journey.  As we study God’s Word and understand the true meaning of His Word, we become Christ-like (Romans 1:7 and Saints in Christ Jesus).   We cannot be Christians and hate others; we cannot be Christians and knowingly live in sin, God will not allow that to happen.  God hates sins today just as much or more because so many of us so-called Christians or living a lie. 1 John 1:6 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth.

Lord, You said that You are entirely convinced that we are full of goodness.  Although most of the Christians today live in sin;  You still shows the same love You exhibited for us when Christ was crucified.  Father, we understand that a sin is a sin, but we have people that are committing abomination; in the Churches preaching to Your people.  For this Lord, we have insulted You and the Holy Spirit.  People think they have gotten away with their sins, but God we know You are coming, and each of us will be held accountable for our sins,  Lord, help us live in such a way we do not bring shame to You or others, so we do not cause another believer to fall.  Father, we humble ourselves to You and ask for Your forgiveness of our sins, in Jesus name,

DO NOT EXTINGUISH THE SPIRIT

Some Ministers would make me walk out of God’s house while they were preaching.  Because when they preached my Spirit would become uneasy, I felt they were not honoring God, but honoring themselves.  Some Pastor goes way overboard with their traditions and shenanigans during Church service.  After talking with my Spiritual counselor I read (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.)

We cannot extinguish our Spirit because of someone else actions when it comes to the Word of God.  Because we do not like how or who is delivering God’s Word; we should listen very careful, and what is good and of God hold on to, but, stay away from everything else.  This is another reason we should study the Word; so we will know the truth, and not be deceived.


Lord, sometimes we do not like what goes on in some Churches and TV ministry, there is more theatrical than theological; and their message is of man, not of God.  Lord, let us not be quickly shaken from our composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to effect the day of the Lord. Father, give us Your strength not to disrespect the Holy Spirit; by walking out of service. Lord, we ask for forgiveness all the times past and thank You for the knowledge of how to act.  Father, help us to grow daily through Your Word, the Holy Spirit, and the support of our Spiritual teachers.  Now may the God of peace make us Holy in every way, and may our whole Spirits, bodies and souls be kept blameless until our Lord and Savior come again.  It is in His wonderful name we pray, Amen.

SERVANT WITH FAITH

Luke  17: 5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 6 And the Lord said If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea, and it should obey you. 7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?  8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and strengthen thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?  9 Doth he thanks, that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

God want us to have so much faith in Him; that even in the face of death, we trust Him.  We can have faith as tiny as a mustard seed for God to work miracles’ in our lives. Our problem is obeying what we believe without a doubt “God is Who and What He says He is”.  When we work all day to make a living and come home to rest; and God calls for our assistance with one of our brothers or sisters, we have to come.  God does not care about all the practical demands’ we put on ourselves because of our desire for material possessions.  He needs us to work for Spiritual properties, and we are not to expect payment for doing what servants do, serving the Master.  When we serve and obey God, we are doing what we were created to do “that’s our purpose” to be SERVANT to God and the people.

Father, if we love You we will follow You, help us love You and others as You love us.  Lord, we deny our will for Yours, give us the Christ-like courage to stand on Your Word, through all temptation and problems.  Father keep Your hedge of protection around us, so our enemies’ will not harm us; Father, bless our children and our children’s children from the crown of their heads to the souls of their feet.  Lord, give us the patient and perseverance of Job and allow You to be God in our lives.  Lord, provide us with a strong desire for Your Word and the wisdom and knowledge to understand the truth; and anoint us with the Holy Spirit to compel us to obey YOUR WORD.  In Jesus name Amen

MEN AND WOMEN CAN PREACH THE WORD

The place to begin in this, as in other biblical questions, is to ask, "What does the Bible say “the New Testament”?

The word disciple comes from the Latin word for pupil or learner.  We are all students of the Word; this is why we have to find a Spiritual teacher; a disciple of God; and spend as much time with them as possible to learn God’s Word.  Some students will receive the Word right away, but some may take years, but that does not mean one is greater than the other.  It just means they’re in different places, and God use us where we are for the uplifting of us and His Kingdom.   Jesus disciples followed Him wherever He traveled learning from His teachings as they moved across the land.  Now there’s a dilemma going on whether a woman can be part of this process.  Women walk with Jesus all the way to His crucifixion, and afterward they help spread the Good News.  A woman delivered the word to the disciples that Jesus had left the tomb.

Luke 8:1-3 From the beginning, Jesus took His twelve disciples, and these women included in His ministry:  Mary Jesus mother,  Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna, had accompanied Jesus and supported Him from their resources.  And Paul also said  in(Romans 16:1-3 I commend unto you Phoebe our sister, which is a deacon of the church which is at Cenchrea: 2 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a teacher of the good news to many, and of myself also.3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:4 Who have for my life laid down their necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. 5 Likewise, greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us. (surely if a women can be a deacon in the Church, she can be a Pastor); Philippians 4:2-3 2Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement. 3And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life. ). Because women in Ephesus at this time were uneducated and secluded, Paul was warning that they could be misled by the false teachers trying to lure new Christians away from the church Paul wanted to establish. Those circumstances do not exist today because many women have been trained and given the gifts that can bring blessing to both males and females.

Lord, help us understand it does not matter who teach the Word as long as it is taught in truth.  Father, help women understand that You put man as the head of the house, and the Church; so just like a woman and man could live in order at home; they can also live in order teaching in the church. Father, while scripture does not support women serving as Pastors; there is scripture that speaks of forcibly to ministry.  Lord, help the women of this Century break the glass ceiling and help us openly receive all our Spiritual teacher that preach the truth male or female.  Lord, women have been in Your ministry performing valuable service from the being of Your walk with us on earth, and we will continue.  Lord, teach us to uplift each other and put aside our differences and show forgiveness as You forgive us. Lord of all the things we have not kept sacred, keeping women for preaching the Word is the most important to man, In Jesus name Amen

PSALMS 53

 The fool hath said in his heart; there is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.  “Only people of the world say things like there is no God; but even they are also the ones that call on His name in times of troubles, knowing they have done abomination sins in His sight.”

 2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if any did understand, that did seek God. “Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because the people of the city had stopped seeking God.  “God is looking down on our Nations to see if anyone is seeking Him.”

3 Every one of them is gone back: they altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. “Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it, and right is right is right even if nobody is doing it."' Do not let this lost world or man’s Laws "that go against God’s Word" pull us back into the world.”

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.  “People with evil Spirits do not care about God’s Word or people; no matter what God or the people do for them, they won’t change.

5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that camped against thee: thou hast put them to shame because God hath despised them.  “Terror will come to those that do not fear God, and He will reject them and put them to shame in front of their enemies.”

 6 Oh that the salvation of Israel who came out of Zion! When God bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.  “God will rescue us from our chains and restore us with joy and praise for our Lord.”

Lord, keep us away from evil spirited people, that do not honor nor fear You.  Father, open the heart and minds of Your people so that they can receive You.  Lord, help us seek You first in all that we do; and search our hearts to remove all doubt, and give us Your courage to stand on Your Word.  Father, let death stalk our enemies with malice intention against Your Kingdom and us.  Lord, as we cried out in distress; You came and rescued us from our past, and we are so grateful.  Father, You are our refuge the place of safety when we are in distress, and You give us eternal love.  Lord, order our step as we keep moving forward in Jesus name,  Amen

WHEN WE GO AGAINST GOD’S WORD

Revelation 22:18-19 says, "For I testify unto everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, and from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

When we create Laws that go against the Creator's  Word we are living in sin; killing is a sin, but we created Laws to make it legal,”( abortion) because we have sinned”.  Sex has become so comfortable, that LOVE is hard to find; but the Word told us this would happen through fornication, adultery, and sexual sins. God Word does not change; society does, “OUR LIVES SHOULD LINE UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD, NOT THE WORD LINE UP WITH OUR LIVES”, and because of this we are living in a time of great troubles.  Everything that we study in the Bible has come to pass; are we so lost in sin we cannot see it, or have we become so comfortable in sin, we do not care.

Have mercy on us O’Lord, against You and You alone we have sinned.  We have done what is evil instead of following Your Word.  We have changed man’s Laws because we have become lovers of ourselves.  Father, open our eyes, so we can see the destruction we have caused by removing YOU from our SCHOOLS, JOB’S, MEDIA, HOMES, and even some CHURCHES.  Lord, there are more killings in schools, then there are in prison; removing YOU Lord, we removed our safety net from our children.  Father, some of YOUR Churches is being operated by false prophets, and they do not preach the truth of YOUR Word.   Lord, purify us from our sins; give us eyes that see and ears that hear; to recognize what we have done, by changing man's Laws against YOUR Word.  Lord, Unseal our lips and give us the courage to speak for YOU and tell the truth about YOUR Word.  Father, give us a desire for YOUR Word; and bless us with the Holy Spirit to give us the strength to be obedient and walk in Spirit with YOU.  In Jesus name Amen

GOD'S COMMANDMENTS

Matthew 5:17, tells us "Think NOT that I am come to destroy the Law. So why do everyone believe that they do not have to obey the Law when Jesus clearly states the Laws still exist throughout the New Testament?  Jesus clearly said DO NOT EVEN THINK THIS, yet most Spiritual teachers GO AGAINST Jesus teaching by saying that we do not have to keep God's Law, BUT THE LAWS ARE WRITTEN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.  Jesus did not die to give us freedom to live in sin; He died to release us from death through His death; as long as we repent (turning away from sin and disobedience and turning back to GOD Matt. 9:13), ask for forgiveness and turn away from the sin, we repented. Before Christ, we did not have the option of redemption; the salvation from sin, death, and the wrath of God.

Jesus death gave us the opportunity to be restored to the Father through grace and repenting because He knew we would not be able to follow the Laws.  He even gave us the choice of receiving Him or living in the world.  I choose to follow Him and receive the Holy Spirit that will compel me to obey the Word.  Maybe this is why our government and most of society has turned from the Word of God; because they feel grace mean we do not need to follow God’s Commandments.   Our government has made killing babies legal, but the Word clearly states” Thy shall not kill.”  We have made same-sex marriage legal, but the Word clearly says marriage is between a man and woman. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionist will inherit the kingdom of God.”

 John 5:2, 3 "By this we know that we love the children of God when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." Matthew 5:19 "Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Revelation 14:12 says “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.  The New Testament continually says to keep the Commandments, but the man says NO, who will we follow man or God.  Now all this is written in the New Testament, what makes us think the Laws no longer exist.

Repent or Perish

Our Father does not negotiate with us about what we should or should not do; He wants us to obey His Word as it is written, so for all who live in the flesh will not enter into the kingdom. (Romans 1:5 through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.)  Because obedience to God commands is the actual sign that we love God more than life itself.  So you can pray the roof off, preach the house down, or give your last dime to the less fortunate; if you are not obeying God’s Word, you are not saved.  Now to know God’s Word we must study daily and pray for the true wisdom and knowledge of His Word.  Once we receive the knowledge and wisdom of the Word it helps us become righteous; (Roman 3:22 this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.)  Now there will be times that we are weak, and we will fall from grace, but once we repent, ask for forgiveness, and turn away from that sin, we are redeemed. (Romans 3:23 there is no distinction 23 for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,) But once we are forgiven 24 we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 

But for those that continue to live against the Word are carnal, and they do not love or fear the Lord, so they give into their crude desires and appetites of the flesh.  Spiritual Christians are under the control of the Holy Spirit, and they will obey God’s Word, but worldly Christians will live as they choose.  Sensual people attempts to look good in serving God; there is the temptation to perform certain religious duties rather than to obey God. They attend Church, pay their tithes and do good work, but they will not obey the Word of God.  But the Word tells us obedient is greater than sacrifice; they pray and fast, but go on living in sin.  We cannot obey what makes us comfortable and expect to enter God’s kingdom.  To come into your home, you must abide by the contract or be put out; to enter the Kingdom of God, we must abide by His Word.  Luke 13:25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ Repent and turn away from sin or perish, it’s just that simple.

Father, we pray that God, the source of Hope, will fill us completely with joy and peace because we believe in Your promise. If we obey Your Word, we will be given love for You through the power of the Holy Spirit, and that love will give us the strength to obey Your Word.  In Jesus name, we pray Amen.

NO ONE IS PERFECT, NO NOT ONE

We all have  sins that we need to be delivered from or a Fruit we need to be pruned.  (1 John 1:8-10 If we go around bragging, “We have no sin,” and then we are fooling ourselves and are strangers to the truth) No one in the flesh is perfect, no not one.  No matter how saved we are, as long as we are in the flesh we are capable of sinning. (Ecclesiastes 7:20 there is not a righteous person on earth who always does good and never sins.)  Some of us need to prune our discipline, just like David could not control his lustful desires for Bathsheba; or like Samson for Delilah.  Some of us need to strengthen our faith, like doubting Thomas; others need love; whatever we are dealing with God can and will deliver us or keep our flesh at rest.( Hebrews 4: 9-11 “Let us, therefore, strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.) But we must repent, ask for forgiveness and turn away from that sin and God will restore us.  (Acts 3:13 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.) No we are not perfect, but we do not have to be perfect; because Christ became our perfection and He lives in us.  Once we accept Christ as our Savior, BELIEVE He died and rose in three days AND OBEY HIS WORD, we are saved. 

Lord, thank You, for the Holy Spirit that compels us to be obedient and do good works.  Lord, thank You for sympathizing with our weaknesses; and allowing Your only Son to pay the penalty for our sins.  So when we fall short of Your mercy, we can be restored if we repent, ask for forgiveness and turn away from that sin.  Father, let us, therefore, approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to strengthen us in times of need.  Lord, we come to You because we are weary and burdened, and we know You will give us rest.  Lord, help us stay gentle and humble in the heart so that we will find peace for our Spirits.  Father, if You are not part of our lives we labor in vain.  Lord, it is You and only You that gives sleep to those who follow You, and for that, we are so grateful.  Lord, thank You for life, heath and Your strength, in Jesus name Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER

Matthew 6:5-9
5“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Surely, I say to you; they have their reward. 6But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly. 7And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.  8“ Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you need. 9 This is how we should pray:

Matthew 6:9-13
Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.  Thy Kingdom come.  Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our sins, As we forgive them that sin against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the Glory, Forever and ever.
Amen.

This prayer covers everything, even what may happen throughout our day.  The Word tells us to pray without ceasing, (1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing) and when we pray in His Words, it makes our prayers compelling through the Holy Spirit.   First, ask God to (Psalms’ 51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!) This is the first thing we should pray for, ourselves. We need to come to our father with a clean heart.  No anger, hate, jealousy, or malice in our hearts, and God will hear our prayer.  We cannot ask God to forgive us if we are holding on to unforgiveness.  (Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.) There are prayers throughout the Bible; the book of Psalms is a collection of prayers, songs, and poems.  Pray for the wisdom and knowledge OF His Word and everything else will fall into place.  When we have love, wisdom and knowledge we cannot go wrong.

FLESH OR SPIRIT

Worldly people do not want to hear the truth when it comes to the Word of God; because what they desire comes from the world.  Everything about God is Spirit, and the only way to be in Spirit is to die in the flesh. (Matt.16:25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.) Not a physical death, but a Spiritual death; as we surrender our will for God’s will.  When we allow God to guide us, He walks with us through the darkest valley and protects us from our enemies and ourselves.( Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.) But most people in the world today, even those that attend Church do not know the Lord.  Because if they did know Him they would do better; pastors would not be sleeping with the women in their Church, while their wives sit among those they have sinned with, in His house.  The Church leaders would help the people in need; not ride around in Bentley, Rolls Royce, and Jets, if they were faithful men of God. (Matt 16:26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your soul?  Is anything worth more than your soul?).  People, we need to stop playing with God; especially TV minister and the acts they want people to believe, utter nonsense.   ( Matt.7:22 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.)  Living in the world won't seem so cool when you wake up in the fire.

Lord, we have surrendered our lives to You, give us a true Spirit, so we want wavier.  Father, now that we know You we have not ceased to pray and ask that we are filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.  Lord, we are focused on You, because You rescued us for the traps of our enemies.  Father, do not let the lost suffer the faith of false prophets that do not teach them the truth; which helps our problems go from bad to worst. Father, we give our lives to You, and we trust in Your promise.  Do not let us be deceived by the false teachings of Your Word; lead us to Your truth, so we may draw near to Thee.  Lord, we love Your Sanctuary, the place where Your Holy presence dwells.  Teach us how to live Lord in the Spirit; because our souls are worth more than just silver and gold, in Jesus name Amen

Trinitee 5:7 - God's Grace

HIS GRACE

John 1:14 and the Christ became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Acts 4:33 and with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

We should also give our testimonies about our transformation through Christ.  God’s grace is given without regards to our worthiness or works; Grace is the Gift God provides us through Christ sacrifice for our sins.  Because Christ knew that our sinful nature would not let us keep the Laws; He felt our Spirits should not be punished because of our carnal desires. 

 So He gave us a way out of sin through His Blood, and when we use the Blood daily, it gives us the strength we need to walk in His Spirit.  Now, of course, we have to develop a Christ-like character to walk in His Spirit; so as we feed our Fruit of the Spirit with the Word daily our Spirits will grow, this will help us receive the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit will give us the strength to obey and walk in the Spirit, as we become like Jesus.  Now obedience means to accept Christ as our Savior, believe He died for our sins and rose from the dead.  We must study His Word daily, pray, worship, praise Him and treat others as God treats us.  We must also repent of our sins and turn away from them so we may be restored to our Father, clean and Holy.

Lord, thank You for grace and favor, we are grateful to You for life, health, and strength. Holy Spirit, Help us be obedient unto Your Word, especially Your Word about fornication, which is the only sin against the body.  Lord, declare us innocent, O Lord, for we have acted with integrity; we have trusted in You Lord without wavering.  Father, examine the motives in our hearts for we are aware of Your unfailing love, and we will live according to Your truth.  Lord, we have separated ourselves from those who do evil, and we refuse to join in with this world wicked ways, for You are with us.  Your rod and staff comforts and protect us; You anoint our heads with oils, our cups overflow with blessings.  Lord we give our lives to You and we trust You to show us the right path to follow; for You are the God that saved us, in Jesus name Amen

Father Can You Hear Me - Tyler Perry (With Lyrics)

IF WE LIVED BY THE MORAL CODES

Over 2000 years ago God gave the world Moral Codes to live by, and Jesus tells us “"Don't misunderstand why He came to live on earth. He did not come to abolish the Morals Codes of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, He came to accomplish their purpose.  So the Moral Codes still exist, we are just not held accountable for breaking them as long as we ask for forgiveness, repent and turn away from sin.  We live under grace now, but, God stills feel the same way about sin.  He did not send His Son here to free us from death so we can live in sin, but to give us a way out of punishment for our sins.  So the Ten Commandments still are the profound instructions for how we should live.  If we followed the Ten Commandments, we would be a Holy Nation, and ninety percent of our problems would solve.

Exodus 20:1-17 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt.  Thou shall have no other gods before me.  Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image; or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath.  Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD, thy God, am a jealous God.  Which will curse your children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.   Thou shall not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.  Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.  Six days shall thou labor, and do all thy work, But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shall not do any work.  For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them, and rested the seventh day.  Wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.  Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God give thee.  Thou shall not kill.  Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not steal.  Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.  Thou shall not covet thy neighbors’ house; Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor’s. 

We love You, Jesus, we worship and adore You, please help us understand Your purpose of dying for us.  Father, give all Nations the same wisdom and knowledge of Your Word so that we can live in harmony and love with one another.  Lord, sin has gotten so bad in our Nation, that even Your Churches, Spiritual Leaders, and Teachers do not honor You as they should; Father forgive us for they know not what they do.  Lord, we have disgraced what You created for good, living as we desire instead of how You instructed us too.  Father, help those that walk with You in truth and obedience, teach those who do not so that we can become the Holy Nation we claim to be, in Jesus name Amen.
