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
