“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if
there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
PHILIPPIANS 4:8
(KJV)
Everyday
there is a reason to be sad, angry, mad, or upset. Innocent people are
dying, bills are due, and pandemics continue to spread. The enemy is
real and they have no need to sleep. At the same time, everyday there is
a reason to be happy, filled with the fruits of the Spirit, smiling,
thankful, excited, peaceful, and delighted. God is real. Christ Jesus is
real. The Holy Spirit and the Angels are real and God’s family do not
have a need to sleep either. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week
(24/7), God and His Holy family works on our behalf.
Accept God in all situations. Find love in every circumstance. Expect
triumph in all struggles! If you stump your toe instead of thinking
“ouch,” think, “At least it’s not broken.” Instead of thinking, “I don’t
want to go to work.” Think, “I got a job. I am being responsible.”
Instead of thinking, “The enemy gets on my nerves.” Think, “Thank you
Lord for my adoption into the glorious Kingdom of GOD.”
As Christians, we must always think positively, and expect God to be in
charge of EVERY situation we experience. God loves His family. It’s the
enemy that wants us to choose ungodly feelings, emotions, and decisions.
Condemnation is not of GOD! “There is therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but
after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1 As Christians, we must REMIND each
other, (“Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in
remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in
the present truth.” 2 Peter 1:12), of our choice, expectation and
power which lies in CHRIST JESUS.

Whatever we do and whatever we say, do it and say it for the Lord.
Such
a commitment keeps us faithful in Christian living.
“Be
faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life”.
REVELATION 2:10 (RSV)
It
is important that we be
faithful to the Lord in our thoughts, words, motives, actions and in our
relationships with each other. Many times when we speak, the words that
come out of our mouths are far from the truth. We may harbor bitterness
in our hearts but we choose to speak with sweet words. (Ephesians
4:31) To keep our thoughts pure and clean need constant exercise on
our part. Our motives must be held in check to see whether they are
right or wrong. It is even possible to do the right things but with the
wrong motives. True spiritual life can only result when we are open to
the conviction and correction of the Holy Spirit. (2 Timothy 3:16)
Faithfulness to the Word of God in all aspects of our life will bring
its own reward, which is the crown of life reserved for the deserving
ones. (Matthew 25:21) Keeping God at the center of our life,
adhering strictly to His teaching and remaining obedient to Him means
living a life of commitment to the Lord. This in turn builds up our
faith in Him and creates a quality of life where He becomes real. Faith
then becomes alive and vital. Thus drawing from His provision of
strength, love and grace allows us to remain dedicated to Him.
Also by keeping ourselves disciplined in our prayer life, we can perform
our God-given responsibilities faithfully. (Luke 21:36) This will
give our life a meaningful and constructive purpose with a sense of
values that are true. Every effort to be faithful in everything for the
Lord will then become a privilege.

Jesus finishes the works He begins in us; by
faith in Him, not in ourselves.
“For
in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a Righteousness that
is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written “the righteous
will live by Faith.”
ROMANS 1:17 (NIV, modified)
Here
Paulis talking about Righteousness. I want to focus on
Grace. Every person that receives Salvation, comes to God entirely by
Grace. Each person comes to the knowledge of forgiveness and pardon from
God solely on Christ's sacrifice for sin. We admit “I am without any
ability on my own to be saved from hell or God's judgment.” “I cannot
pay the debt I owe.” “Lord save me.” We become born again through this gift. The problem often with many Christians is, after receiving
salvation, we turn to our own abilities and strengths to finish the work
which Christ has begun. We often forget that we are sanctified (made
Holy) by the gift of Grace too. Paul talked about this in
Galatians 3:3. “After beginning with the spirit are you now trying to
attain your goal through human effort?"
To illustrate, it is like a paraplegic being told “You have to run in
this marathon.” So there he is sitting on the ground at the start line
of the race. He knows it is impossible for him to even start, let alone
finish the race. And then someone else there, who happens to be last
year's winner says to him, “How would you like me to carry you through
the race?” The man is so happy that someone is nice enough to do this
for him. So he gladly accepts. So they start the race, the man who
cannot walk is enjoying the ride, looking at the scenery going past him.
Then after 2 or 3 miles he says to his helper, “Put me down now. I think
I can finish the race on my own.” Now what is going to happen? The man
is going to go nowhere, isn't he?
Someone might ask, “If we are saved and also made holy, both by the
gift of God's Grace; what is our part to play?" We are to put our faith
solely in Christ's power, to do the work! We are to trust that He will
clean out our hearts. That He will save us from ungodly desires, that He
will change our natures into His. Jeremiah 17:5 talks about a
curse that comes on people when they trust in flesh, or the arm of man
to save them. Which of course would include trusting in our own
abilities, too. But in Jeremiah 17:7 it also declares "Blessed
is the man who trusts in the Lord." Romans says, God's Righteousness
is begun in our lives by Christ and is also finished in our lives by
Christ, through our faith in Him.

Focus your attention on the real enemy! Put evil
in its place.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
EPHESIANS 6:12 (KJV)
Children
of God. I looked at the Heavenly Hierarchy: God, Christ
Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I looked at the evil hierarchy: satan, the
antichrist (1 John 2:18), and the beast. (Revelation 13:1-4)
Under the beast, (Ephesians 6:12), there are powers,
principalities, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high
places. On God’s side there are (Galatians 5:22) fruits of the
Spirit; love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness and temperance. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit has powers also
and the opposite of principalities are called Authorities, 1 Peter
3:22. I often refer to them as Sovereignties because they are
sovereign. God is love (1 John 4:16) is an example of the
sovereign nature of fruits of the Spirit: Authorities. Under the fruits
of the Spirit there are the Arch Angels then the Angels. Under evil
principalities are the fallen angels, i.e., demons, etc.
Now the question is where does man fit into this hierarchy? Some people
think just above the Angels. We are children of God (Luke 20:36;
Romans 8:16-17; Galatians 3:26); we are joint heirs with Christ
Jesus. God is our Father and Jesus is like our big brother.
Now where was satan ranked when he was in Heaven? An Arch Angel. So why
do we rank him as opposite of God in the hierarchy of good versus evil?
He may be number one on his team, but he has been reduced in rank. Arch
Angels are below the fruits of the Spirit, which is below our brother
Jesus. Which is below us as heirs to the Kingdom.
So let’s stop equating satan as being equal with God, i.e., on the same
level. He is below God and God has placed him under our feet. (Romans
16:20) Do not give satan any power; not even a big “S” in his name.
So when evil comes to bother you, tell them you are a righteous child of
God and they must leave your presence right now. Take your place in the
Kingdom of Christ and move in the power of Christ Jesus.

so
that we can experience what the Will of God is, for our lives.
“Do not love the world or anything in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For
everything in the world -- the cravings of sinful man, the lust of the
eyes and the boasting of what he has and does -- comes not from the
Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the
man who does the will of God lives forever.”
1 JOHN 2:15-17 (NIV)
The
Love of God the Father is not in anyone whose desires are for
the material things in the world, and whose thoughts and eyes are
constantly dwelling upon the evil cravings of unregenerated or sinful
man. (1 John 2:16)
Everyone needs material things, but no one needs to be blinded by the
material things, or the evil cravings or by the lust of the eyes, which
causes one to sink deeper into sin.
1. The
Love of God is imperative.
2. The Will of God is imperative.
Here is the great exchange!
You were born to win. God made this possible when He sent His Son Jesus
to pay the sacrifice of your sin and mine; when He suffered and gave His
life in death on the Cross. Christ's death on the Cross was payment for
our sins, that we should choose, and accept Christ and His love, and His
will for our lives.
The world and its desires comes to a losing end, (1 John 2: 17),
while the Will of God in you will live on, even into eternity. It is a
choice you must make. You either win or lose depending on your choice.
God's Will is for you to make the right choice, to do His Will and live
forever. (1 John 2:17)

Physical Growth is a matter of time;
Intellectual Growth is a matter of knowledge,
while Spiritual Growth
depends most of all on our level of obedience to the Lord.
“And
if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye
will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the
other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye
dwell: BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.”
JOSHUA 24:15 (KJV, modified)
Joshua
had somethingunusual about him. I believe the Lord chose
him, because He knew Joshua, like Abraham, would “command his
children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the
Lord” (Genesis 18:19). He was a great warrior, and yet – a profound
worshipper. The Bible says that when Moses was leaving the Tabernacle
after a long day of being in God’s Presence and judging the people,
Joshua - his servant - remained in the Tabernacle.
Joshua loved the Presence of the Lord. He knew God so personally,
that he was able to lead an entire people in their Promised Land,
overtaking the enemy completely. Nothing could stop him – not even the
SUN. He was like David – a mighty man of war and a humble seeker of the
Lord at the same time. He was like Daniel – an incredibly wise leader
and a committed servant of His Lord at the same time. He was also like
Joseph – a gifted ruler and a symbol of God’s Salvation at the same
time.
We are all called by the Lord to seek Him and find Him in such a deep
way, that we are able to trust Him for our whole family (AS FOR ME
AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD), as well as for all else He
places under our care. Now, that’s a challenge! Are you ready to take
it?

What makes life difficult is not the presence of
problems but the absence of God.
"And
do not (for a moment) be frightened or intimidated in anything by your
opponents and adversaries, for such (constancy and fearlessness) will be
a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of (their impending) destruction;
but (a sure token and evidence) of your deliverance and salvation, and
that from God.”
PHILIPPIANS 1:28 (Amplified)
Men
and women who made headlines, were ordinary people who
decided to attempt great things with the supernatural power of God which
comes on their ordinary attempts to make them super-ordinary. They know
they must fight. They know to fight is not enough, but they must win.
They have 3 characteristics.
1. Be People of Courage. Courage is an act of determination and
stickability (persistence, perseverance). Courage does not mean there is
no obstacle. The enemies (of God) will always be there. But a person of
courage keeps on going, enemy or no enemy. You cannot win in this season
without courage. Every man's life has seasons. God has a place and an
assignment for us, no matter our season in life. You and I will always
be needed by someone. (Isaiah 41:6) Respond to this need today with courage.
Deuteronomy 31:6; Psalm 31:24
2. Be Conscious of His Presence. They are people who are
conscious of God's presence. You cannot pass through the shadows of life
alone. You cannot confront any obstacle without God as your Source.
University certificate or Diploma becomes impotent at the presence of a
mountain. Go out today with the consciousness of God's presence.
Joshua 1:9; Hebrews 13:5
3. Know God Fights with Us. They know God will fight for them.
God is the one who marks life’s scripts, not your enemy or His enemies.
As Born-again Christians, we can confront the enemy (our enemies and the
enemies of God) knowing it is God who fights for us.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.”
JOHN 15:13 (KJV)
This
scripture reminds me of an encounter that changed my life and
value for souls, bringing me closer to the heart of Jesus Christ and the
type of love He has to die for people who never loved Him. I visited the
mission field where by God’s grace, a church was planted among a group
of rural destitute, outcasts and drug addicts and even robbers under my
leadership; to the clear the bush.
On entering the village, I met a crowd that surrounded a young teenager
(Musa) who attends our services; accused of stealing. He happened to be
my first convert in that barbaric village. He was being mobbed almost to
death with clubs, machetes and other weapons. When he sighted me, he
cried out loudly, “Pastor, I’m dying for what I do not know about, in
innocence.” This he said three times. This cry broke my heart and bones.
I could not bear to see him die, so I shouted aloud at the crowd saying,
“Please stop beating him. Take him to the police.” They furiously turned
on me, giving me bruises and wounds. A village woman in the crowd
shouted, “He’s a PASTOR.” They stopped.
I retired to a solitary place and asked God, “Father, is this what it
takes to save souls?” The answer was swift, “Yes, it takes a heart so
compassionate to love and to die, in order to save a soul. If you did
not speak, the boy would die. Such I went through on the cross for your
sins to be cleansed.” The boy was eventually sentenced awaiting trial
for nine months in the prison. My leaders asked me to steer clear and
allow the boy to suffer alone. God granted me grace to pursue the case.
I was sure he was innocent. While in the prison he learned the scripture
deeply, which he couldn’t before. And he became an Evangelist among the
inmates. He became stronger in the Lord Jesus Christ. He told me that he
kept on thinking about why they had beat me because of him. This broke
him to fully decide to live for Jesus Christ. He was acquitted--not
guilty.
The unconditional love of God is all we need to live in these times of
trial and temptation. It gladdens my heart to know I serve an
Over-Ever-Loving God; when He forgives, He forgets all past iniquities.
Every Christian is called to live for God wherever we are and to show a
greater commitment of love to see people liberated from the shackle of
sin. Love is not a choice but a call; a duty to perform. It is only love
that determines our level of obedience to Christ and how ready we are to
see His kingdom come. Love unconditionally expressed to make others
better without counting the cost is the true and most important key that
unlocks the very gates of Heaven and draws us intimately into God’s
Heart. My heart is stirred-up by love, as I am loved of Christ who takes
sin away.
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

“How can I repay the Lord for all His goodness
to me?”
PSALM 116:12 (NIV)
A
newly married young woman removed her ring from her finger
and laid it in the church offering bag. After the service the Pastor
searched her out to commend her and return the ring, explaining the
offering had been larger than needed. The woman looked up and said, “I
didn’t give the ring to you, but to the Lord.”
The lady teaches us two important lessons:
First, true giving is sacrificial. True giving is
sacrificial, in gratitude for the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ on
the cross. “He died for all, that those who live should no longer
live for themselves, but for Him who died for us and who was raised
again.” 2Corinthians 5:15
“Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him,
Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou
hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come, follow me.” Luke 18:22 True giving means
giving our lives to Christ.
Second, a heart full of thanks and praise of God is the
answer to the question posed by our text: “How can I repay the Lord
for all His goodness to me?” The Psalmist continues, “I will
sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the Name of the LORD.”
Psalm 116:17
It is a God-pleasing act of worship when we devote our lives, our time,
our talents, and our treasures to the Lord. It pleases God when our love
reaches a place of sacrifice, as did the young lady in the touching
story.

“And,
behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I
do, that I may have the eternal life? And he said unto him, why callest
thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but is thou wilt
enter into life, keep the commandments.”
MATTHEW 19:16-17 (KJV)
When
Jesus was still in this world, He used to exchange views with
many people from different careers. One of the Pharisees, a ruler of the
Jews, Nicodemus, decided to meet Jesus during the night. He feared being
seen by the Pharisees. Thus he told Jesus: Rabbi, we know that you are a
teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do,
except God be with him. John 3:2
When we deeply think about
Jesus’ teachings, we realize that He wanted to show people the (real)
true, right way, (what to do and what a person could do) to inherit the
Kingdom of God.
Another time, a young man came to meet Jesus. He told Him: “…Good
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
Matthew 19:16 Jesus said, “…but if thou
wilt enter into life, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.” Matthew 19:17 “He
saith unto Him, which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do
not murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou
shalt not bear false witness. Honor thy father and thy mother: and Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The young man “saith unto
Him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go
and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in Heaven: and come and follow me.Matthew
19:18-21
Actually, this young man could not follow Jesus' recommendation though
Jesus had appreciated him and his responses. And now you personally, are
required to sell your property. So what is your property and how is it?
No, it is not your ownership (your things), but your actions that
separate you from God. Put them aside. Human feelings and actions never
please God. If you leave them alone, surely you will inherit the Kingdom
of God. Put God first in all things.

Reach out to sinners. Bring Salvation to the lost.
"Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to
this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man
came to seek and to save what was lost."
LUKE 19: 9-10 (NIV)
Jesus
came on this earth with a goal to bring salvation to the lost
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save
what was lost."
There are many unbelievers across the globe today who have the desire to
know much about Jesus like Zacchaeus did, but they lack the opportunity.
“A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax
collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a
short man he could not, because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and
climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that
way.” Luke 19:2-4
As servants of God, we need not to distance ourselves from the many lost
unbelievers for it was Jesus who first called Zacchaeus before he came
down from the fig tree. When Jesus reached the spot, He looked up and
said to him, “Zacchaeus come down immediately.”
So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
The world will not know much about Christ if we fail to reach them.
However Romans 10:14 says, “How then, can they call on the one
they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom
they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to
them?”
It is one thing to separate ourselves from unbelievers and from their
sin, but yet another to win souls for Christ right where they are in
their personal spiritual development. Do the work of Jesus. Walk the
walk of Jesus. Get into the trenches where the sinners are--bring them
to Christ.

Pray for life. Prayerfully speak life and move
into LIFE.
“Train up a child in the way he should go and
when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
PROVERBS 22:6 (KJV)
Prayers
are the key of the gate of heaven. Prayers can move mountains
and change any situation. “…for verily I say
unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto
this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and
nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Matthew 17:20
When we pray and don’t see any differences, it is because of our sins.
“The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the
righteous.” Proverbs 15:29
A prayer of a sinner is an abomination to God, “The sacrifice of the
wicked is an abomination to the LORD:” Proverbs 15:8, and the wages
of sin(s) is death. (Romans 6:23) Satan was departed from heaven
because of pride, but God so much loves us that we committ(ed) many
evils and He still forgives us. Let us come closer to our God,
Jesus Christ and abandon satan’s works so that our prayers will come
alive. Let us turn from idolatry. Let’s turn away from greed and
avarice. Let’s turn aside from sexual promiscuity. It is evil to have
sexual relationships before marriage. Abortions are a disgrace to
humanity; are a crime against God’s creation. It is killing and that is
against the Will of God.
Our world needs repentance now. Pray for repentance and repent. We must
accept Jesus into our lives, so that He will heal the world from the
many deadly diseases, wars, natural disasters and poverty. Our world
needs prayer now. Our world needs us to take a moment to think about
someone else other than ourselves. Maybe we can get God’s attention if
we follow the example of Jesus and find someone who could use our help
and take the time to help; make the time to do someone a good turn.
God will forgive anything, but we need to totally surrender and abandon
our sins. May Jesus Christ, the Peace of the World have mercy for us all
now and forever. Remember, pray always. “… men ought always to pray,
and not to faint;” Luke 18:1

“I want to do it on my own, without any help
from anyone” is not from a heart filled with love.
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
PROVERBS 16:18 (KJV)
Hearing,
“I want to do it on my own,” should raise alarms for you to correct the
person who just said that. You will hear people from time to time say
that they do not want to depend on their family for anything, much less
their success. They just want to get that car, that house, or finish
college on their own. They want to do it all themselves-- PRIDE. Or they
just don’t want to hear it from whoever has helped, could help or should
help. They need to make AMENDS.
Understand that “doing something on your own” is an impossibility except
your DEATH. You can die on your own, but everything else in LIFE is done
in conjunction with others. THINK about it. What in this world can you
do ALONE? Sleep; somebody made the bed and sheets. Someone had a hand in
whatever you are involved; your clothes, your joy, your education, your
health, your life. You can’t get a car or house without a salesperson or
owner. You were not born without a mother.
When a person wants to “do it on their own,” they are listening or have
heard the voice of Lucifer. It is a mustard seed of PRIDE; a foundation
on which to build a house of destruction. It is in the spirit of Lucifer
to want you to do a thing solely by yourself. He wanted it all. He
wanted to be like God. He wanted to DO IT ON HIS OWN. Pride caused his
fall from Heaven. Can you hear PRIDE and SELF in this statement?
I--WANT--to do it on—MY--OWN. “On my own” is without God. With God is
with all of His children being involved; not just Him, but the whole of
His creation. We were not designed to live in isolation of and from one
another; but to live in a co-existing environment and lifestyle of LOVE,
FORGIVENESS, and UNDERSTANDING towards one another.
If you don’t want anyone involved in your success, repair damaged
relationships. This will enable you to love again. If you don’t want
anything from anyone know this: God created us all to have relationship
with one another. We are our brother’s keeper.
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; …”

God keeps
His promises to the believer. The overcomer will be finally
rewarded.
“See to it,
brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns
away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it
is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's
deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till
the end the confidence we had at first.”
HEBREWS
3:12-14 (NIV)
Is
it possible for the believer after giving many years of
service to God and the church, to lose his or her way during their
Christian walk, and turn back to serving idols? The Jewish Christians'
faith in Christ was severely tested during a time of persecution. The
possibility of deceiving themselves, and being deceived by the devil
existed. "See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful
unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God." Hebrews 3: 12
“But I tell you that men (everyone)
will have to give account on the day of judgement
for every careless word they have spoken.” Matthew 12:36 We
are all accountable to God, and so is every believer whose
responsibility it is to see that he or she does not fall back, and/or
remain in sin's sway. Sin binds, and sin blinds, and it is possible for
the heart of the one who sins to become hardened, and no longer able to
recognize truth from error, and right from wrong.
The Jewish Christians were reminded of those who had sinned, those who
had rebelled against God and those who had fallen away. Are you sinning?
Are you rebelling against God? Have you fallen away? There is a true way
back into life. The Way, the Truth and the Life is Christ Jesus.
(John 14:6)
The Christian's responsibility (Romans 12:1) is to HOLD FIRMLY
TILL THE END, THE CONFIDENCE WE HAVE IN CHRIST. Hebrews 3:14

A slave is one, who is compelled to serve, while
the minister is one who lives to serve.
“Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him;
that glory may dwell in our land.”
PSALM 85:9 (KJV, modified)
I
would like to paraphrase this verse, so we can get a clearer
picture of God’s present will for our life: “He has saved us, so that
His Glory may dwell in our land.” This means, that the purpose of our
salvation on this side of Heaven is to be carriers of God’s Glory until
it fills the whole Earth.
God’s Glory is His Manifested Presence. It’s also His character and
fruit. When Moses prayed: “Lord, please, show me Your Glory.” (Exodus
33:18), the Lord said: “OK, I will make all My goodness pass
before you…”(Exodus 33:19). And He showed him His character
– “The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and
abundant in goodness and truth,” (Exodus 34:6; Galatians 5:22-23).
Now the New Testament tells us that we are to change from glory to
glory, beholding the Glory of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18). This
means that, as we behold the Lord’s Glory – His Presence and character –
we must allow Him to change as into the same image.
In this way, we will become able carriers of His Presence and His love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and
temperance to the lost and dying world. Ultimately, this will bring
God’s salvation to all and fill the Earth with His Glory.

“And
she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment
in her hand, and fled, and got him out. And it came to pass, when she
saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, That
she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, see,
he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to
lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:”
GENESIS 39:12-14 (KJV)
Who
is a Christian? And what is a Christian? What is his duty?
What is her duty? What is he or she supposed to do during their times of
trouble? Many Christians think it is enough once they have been baptized
and their names fully recorded in the church register. Many Christians
think it is enough that their presence is ever noticed and their
activities duly appreciated by the congregation as required. A Christian
is someone who has repented his sins and has been baptized. That
righteous person is a traveler heading to Heaven. Such a Christian makes
righteous plans and is ever of exemplary behavior. He has a good
testimony and good actions in the manner of Joseph in Egypt.
Joseph was sold by his elder brothers, but he behaved very faithfully in
the manner to honor God. Even though he was far away from his birthplace
where nobody was to witness that he was a man of God, he behaved
honorably. Joseph “said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master
wotteth not what is with me in the house, and the hath committed all
that he hath to my hand. Thereis none greater in this house than I;
neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, but because thou
art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against
God? Genesis 39:8-9
So dear brother, the salvation you received is not limited to church
leaders. But we move with it (our salvation), wherever we travel; for
shopping, going to school and anywhere we go. We have not to deny our
Christian position or hide our faith because of change of a situation.
Jesus said: “Also I say unto you, whosoever
shall confess me before men, him shall the son of man also confess him
before the angels of God. But he that denieth me before men shall be
denied before the angels of God.” Luke 12:8-9

No person can work for what God has to give.
They can
only receive it.
“But
as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of
God, even to them that believe on his name.”
JOHN 1:12 (KJV)
What
you constantly receive into your heart you will become.
Whatever any man is today is a result of what he has been receiving into
his life.
Our experience in God is
depending on two things:
1. God gives us His Grace and
2. Our receiving of that Grace
What you receive, your life
will show. We do not give up anything to get what belongs to us in
Christ. We just receive it by faith. You can't earn the blessings of God
through works. The way you receive from God is simply take His blessings
by faith. When you understand Receiving, then the rest will come. You
will not need to carry that burden to work any more.
Receive His Grace by faith today. No situation or problem can ever
withstand the Grace of God. The earlier you begin to walk in this light,
it will not be long when your story shall be like that of Paul. “But
by the grace of God I am what I am; and his grace which was bestowed
upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all:
yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." 1 Corinthians 15:10
Grace is power to become what He wants you to be.

In The Word Lies Your Faith And Your Faith
Connects You To The Flow Of Virtue; Always Release The Word.
"Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities,
are afflicted. Their soul abhoreth all manner of meat; and they draw
near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the LORD in their
trouble, and he saveth them from their distresses. He sent His
word, and healed them, and delivered them from their
destructions.
PSALM 107:17-20 (KJV)
When
you understand the scriptures, you'll know that God doesn't
want you to cry over your problems. "How did I get myself into this
mess?" Have you ever asked yourself this question? It seems you cannot
come out of the problem, disappointment, stress, poverty, or sickness.
What you need is only a word. A word from the Master is only what you
need to come back rejoicing.
In Psalm 107:17-20, the people were afflicted because of sin and
ignorance, but they cried unto God for deliverance in spite of their
affliction. And how did God respond? He sent them His Word. It was the
Word that delivered them. No fire came down from heaven, no light shone
around them, no Angel appeared to them. But when the Word came to them
and they received it, they were healed. Hallelujah! The Word of God is
alive and full of power, it means that the Word of God is active. It's
operative, energizing, and effective. It doesn't matter what you are
going through, if you would hear the Word and accept it, it would
produce the result it says.
So if I'm in dire need in my life, what do I do? Do I have to wait until
God sends His Word to me? No! God has already sent His Word to address
every situation you'll ever face in life. He has sent His Word for your
deliverance, healing, prosperity and spiritual advancement. God has
given you authority and ability to activate everything He wrought for
you through Christ, by the declaration of the Word with your own month.
When you boldly confess the Word to your situation, it comes forth with
the same power it would if God Himself had spoken. In Hebrews 13:5-6,
the Bible says, “for he (God) hath said, I will never leave
thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, the Lord is my
helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” If the Word
of God comes to a poor man, it will make him rich. If it comes to a sick
man, it will heal him. The Word of God in your mouth is full of living
power; it's active, operative, energizing and effective. Declare the
Word today, send it to your situation and bring about the desired
change.

Wisdom is an Authority (Sovereignty) of God and
we should seek Wisdom in all things as we acknowledge God.
“Happy is the man who is so anxious to be with
me that he watches for me daily at my gates, or waits for me outside my
home!”
PROVERBS 8:34 (Living Bible)
“Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates.”
PROVERBS 8:34 (KJV)
In
this passage from Proverbs, God tells us that He is the
author of Wisdom. Those who find God’s wisdom in life, finds eternal
life--eternal life in Him. But those who despise God’s wisdom, suffer
injury and death--eternal death.
We need to understand what is meant by wisdom. God is not talking about
mere knowledge. Nor is He talking about experience. Nor is He talking
about having a sense of worldly understanding.
Wisdom is knowing God! “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom.’’ Proverbs 9 :10 Knowing God as our Father through faith in
His Son, Jesus Christ, has nothing to do with how smart we are, nor how
many classes we have taken, nor how long we have been a member of a
church.
It has everything to do with faith. It is Spirit-given faith which
brings us into a relationship with our heavenly Father. Our
reconciliation to the Father was earned at the cost of His Son’s Blood,
shed on the cross; our reconciliation to God and the power of God for
our salvation. That’s the wisest thing of all.

“Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic,
love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with
evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were
called so that you may inherit a blessing. For whoever would love life
and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from
deceitful speech.”
1 PETER 3:8-10 (NIV)
Christ
is building His church, the born-again believers of the body
of Christ. His call to repentance of those not yet in the church is
proof of His unconditional love for us humans.
Christ is the Head of the church, and even though He loves us supremely,
there are certain behaviors that are unacceptable to Him. So Jesus
cautions us to “not repay evil with evil” 1 Peter 3:8, and
“keep his tongue from evil, and lips from deceitful speech.” 1 Peter
3:10 Hence, we see there is no disharmony in Christ's church.
The church member or members are called to bless others. “Do not
repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing…” 1 Peter
3:9 Jesus left us an example to follow. Jesus is the example. We are
to follow in His steps. No deceit was found in His mouth. And He has
promised to be with us, never to leave us nor forsake us, (Joshua
1:9, Hebrews 13:5) but giving us all the help we need to bless
others. Only those who bless will inherit a blessing.

For Success, Perform God’s Will in All Your
Personal Decisions.
“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
PROVERBS 3:6 (KJV)
Fitting
it in the Box. We have the ability to put fit things in boxes
into which they don't fit. We
have the habit of fitting things in boxes, which do not belong in that
box. Let’s say you have found a man who you just love. But you know that
person is not the one you are to marry. But you don’t want to be alone.
You want someone to share your life with because you are not getting any
younger. You look past the fact that he beats you up every three weeks,
or that he is a gambler or that he sees other women. You fit that person
in the box of “He’s the one I am going to marry.” Stop! Stop fitting the
wrong people and the wrong job and doing the wrong things into your box.
Your life is the box, so stop placing the wrong thing into your
box. You have a job that is making you sick, but it pays you a lot of
money. That's placing the wrong thing into your life. You are the right box, so
put the right job in the right box. That great job may be great for
someone else, maybe a single person with no children. But for you this
job is terrible. You have stress. You are taking medication. You are
having negative physical manifestations—all related to the wrong thing.
The wrong thing is negatively effecting and affecting you and your
family. You are fitting the wrong thing in your life. Put Jesus, the
right thing, in your box and watch your life turn around; not only your life
but
your family’s lives also.
When seeking personal goals and aspirations, we often put the wrong
things into our boxes. We stuff our lives with so much that we
can’t take it anymore. Conversely, some people don’t put much into their
boxes, but the things they put into their boxes are ABSOLUTELY the wrong
things. Old habits, which have been on earth for years, can break young
people. New habits, which are new to older people, can break them also.
New bad habits, old bad habits, or poor habits can break anyone. Don’t
force the wrong behavior, habits, material things, food, and substances
into your box. In all things acknowledge God and He will direct your
paths. In all things, ask the LORD what His Will is for you. Seek first
the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all things will be added to
your box; into your life. (Matthew 6:33)

Our Choice Today Determines The Joy of Our
Future Generation.
Your Choices Today Determines Our Tomorrow.
“For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the
obedience of one shall many be made righteous."
ROMANS 5:19 (KJV)
Our
choices do not only affect us, but also the people around us.
The consequences of our choice(s) or decision(s) can be damnable or life
giving. Choice brings life or death, joy or sorrow, promotion or
demotion, honour or disgrace, and poverty or prosperity. You are what
you are today because of your choice yesterday. Your choice is so
powerful that it (your choice) can affect your life, your family, your
community, your nation and the entire world. (Psalm 25:12)
Considering the above scripture, (Romans 5:19), the choice of Adam in the Garden of
Eden brought death, condemnation and all forms of calamities upon the
entire human race. The whole world is suffering from the wrong choice of
Adam in the Garden of Eden. The destiny of all humanity was put into the
hand of Adam and his wife. But their choices then brought calamities
upon their generation of whom we are. (Proverbs 1:29)
The greatest lesson to be learned is that the joy of the next generation
or your family also depends on your choice today or the way you live
your life today. Will they praise you or curse you? Will they blame you
or sing your praise. (Isaiah 7:15)
All of us, we are suffering from the consequences of sin of which we do
not know. Think about it. Will your family or your next generation
suffer from the way you are living your life now? Will they cry tomorrow
because of your choice or decision today? Always remember when you want
to make a choice that your choice will determine your choice of joy or
sorrow for your tomorrow and the tomorrow of others.

Go into the world and walk in the footsteps of your
brother Jesus.
“If you love me, you will keep my
commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another
Advocate,
(Paraclete = a defending counsel, attorney; Holy
Spirit)
to be with you forever. This is the
Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees
him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will
be in you.”
JOHN
14:15-17 (NRSV, modified)
Today
the church is weak and ineffective because man has decided to
run it instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to be free and do what He has
been sent to do. “Because I have said these
things, you are filled with grief. But I tell you the truth: It is for
your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor
(Paraclete) will not come to you; but if I
go, I will send him to you.” John 16:6-7 (NIV)
Am I today living in the fullness of Pentecost? Jesus is here now as you
call to Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit. You dear child of God are
called to heal the sick and raise the dead. You dear child have been
saved so that you can preach the gospel and see many saved from the
darkness of satan’s kingdom and transferred into the kingdom of Heaven.
Do you feel weak today? Then turn to Jesus and ask Him to come and fill
you with His power. “But the Counselor, the
Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all
things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”
John 14:26 (NIV)
Jesus defeated satan as a man using the power of the Holy Spirit. That
same power is available to you today. My child just ask Him to come and
to fill you. And then go from your place of prayer out into the darkness
and do the greater works that you have been called to do.
“I tell you the truth, anyone who has
faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater
things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do
whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the
Father.” John 14:12-13 (NIV)
Where you are right now is not your final
destiny. You have the power to go where you are supposed to go. You have
the power for the destiny you want to have.
You are a product of what you desire.
“And behold, a woman who had suffered from a
flow of blood for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe
of His garment; or she kept saying to herself, If I only touch His
garment, I shall be restored to health. Jesus turned around and, seeing
her, He said, Take courage, daughter! Your faith
has made you well. And at once the woman was restored to health.”
MATTHEW 9:20-22 (Amplified Bible)
Jesus
comes into our messes and transforms our messes into
miracles. He finds a woman whom the Bible does not disclose her name to
us. It doesn't matter whether people know you or not. Even in that pain,
loneliness and rejection, God knows you better--more so in what you are
going through. Remember, your condition will not remain forever. There
is a way out. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the
morning. Like this woman who was subject to bleeding for 12 years, (that
dark moment in your life); BUT Jesus shows up to cause a bright morning
breaking forth. This woman had three major problems. You see
Jesus will not come to intervene on issues that you can solve by your
own strength. He will come to complicated cases where human strength is
depraved, all physicians had tried to solve her problem but to no avail.
When you reach the end of yourself, God will come in. He is the present
help in time of Trouble.
1.Due to her bleeding, she was weak and tired, she
therefore could not easily press through the crowd to reach and touch
Him. Death was creeping day by day. "For the life of the flesh is in
the blood;…" Leviticus 17:11
2.The Law was
against her, she was not supposed to come out where people
"touch." She was considered unclean (Leviticus 15:19). Jesus
Christ took the curses of the law, for He brought the law of grace and
life, setting us free. His life blood breaks every curse of the law.
3.Poverty. She had
spent all her savings trying to cure her sickness. She became
financially drained to poverty. Her life was turned around when she met
Jesus.
She
applied three keys,
A.She made up
her mind, "enough is enough." She was tired of her situation.
Your elevation depends on your tiredness over what is presently
nagging you. The unstoppable are the tired ones. No one could stop
her from reaching Jesus.
B.She changed
her sickness into an opportunity, change your misfortune into an
opportunity; coming out of her discouragement and rejection to
receive the Healing.
C.She touched
the hem of His cloak. Her decision to touch in the physical by
faith was activating the spiritual, physical. Physical contact
entered into spiritual contact and resulted to PROPHETIC and the
healing begun to flow.
She had applied a principle
no one else had applied raising her faith towards the heart of Christ.
Stretch your faith towards Christ and what seems impossible will become
possible. That will turn your life around today.

Don’t wear a mask to hide; confession is good
for the soul.
“And
the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him
up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
JAMES 5:15 (RSV)
Leprosy,
a disease hidden inside and covered under gorgeous dressing. He had all
the boldness to eloquently speak in public; his confidence being that he
was highly influential, yet Naaman (2 Kings 5:1) clothed his shameful flesh with his
professional regalia. He hated himself to the point of rejection.
A disease neither his academic researches, diplomatic connections,
military prowess, business achievements nor his gold or silver, dollars
or pound sterling could solve. No medical cure came from the best
physicians. The last diagnosis... “HE WAS A LEPER”...unveils his real
personality. Outside, he wore a mask of strength to hide his weakness.
Yet inside he suffered under the scourge of leprosy, living in rejection
of himself.
You may not have an outward leprous disease, but you hide under your
clothes those little lies, malice, bitterness, unbelief and outright
rebellion against God’s Commands. They will soon expose you. You may be
one of those boys and girls, adults alike, proud that your good
qualifications have brought your present status. You might be a first
class, high-class personality but there is one thing that disqualifies
you--SIN. (John 8:34)
Every hidden habit or dirty attitude makes you a leper. Cheating and
exam malpractice brands you leprous. Playing hide and seek on your wife
or cheating your husband; selling your body; membership in secret cults
brings leprosy on you. Disobedience--and what of stealing, gambling,
extortion, bribery, dishonesty, prostitution, homosexuality and
premarital sexual acts?
Naaman got healing and was set free by washing himself in the River
Jordan. Right where you are JESUS CHRIST is standing by to heal you if
you call for help. He says, “Come! With your leprosy, I will cleanse
you.” He says, “Come unto me all ye that labour
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
You can rest from carrying the disgraceful disease of sin. Invite Him
now and your load of carry-overs and failures can be a thing of the
past, only come to Jesus today. COME!

The opportunity to do something unusual comes
only several times in life, but everyday, do the usual things in an
unusual way.
“But
ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
1 PETER 2:9
(KJV)
“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him
are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
REVELATION 17:14 (KJV)
The
Responsibility of the free choice. The humanistic world tells
us: “You yourself are building your destiny; believe only yourself; do
what is best for yourself; you are a free man, you have a free will.”
The Lord also says: “Choose whom you will serve.” Where’s the
difference? The truth is that there are two kingdoms and you can think
that you have chosen the best thing for yourself, but if you are not
with God, the Bible says that even though your way may seem right unto
you, it leads to destruction. Your free choice is about which authority
you will come under.
If you choose the Lord, you are coming under His authority and He has a
purpose and a destiny for your life. Jesus said:
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and
ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your
fruit should remain.” If the choice of living depended only
upon you, you may have arranged your priorities like this: “First my
family, second my job, and the Lord will be my hobby – I will go to
Church in my spare time, sometime I will pray, or I can read some Bible
from time to time.”
God does not want to be a hobby though – He wants to be first place in
your life. So, if you choose the Lord, your choice brings responsibility
with it – to serve the Lord, to seek Him and His kingdom first. Then the
Lord will add everything else that you may need. “He gave His Son for
us, so how will He not give us everything else?”
The Lord is faithful to do His part. Are you?

призова от тъмнината в Своята чудесна светлина.”
1 Петрово
2:9 (The Bulgarian Bible)
“те ще воюват против
Агнето, но Агнето ще ги победи, защото е Господ на господарите и Цар на
царете; тоже и ония, които са с Него, ще победят, които са звани,
избрани и верни.”
Откровение
17:14 (The Bulgarian Bible)
За
отговорността на свободния избор. Хуманистичният свят около нас ни казва: «Ти сам градиш своята съдба;
вярвай само на себе си; прави това, което е най-добре за тебе самия; ти
си свободен човек, имаш свободна воля».
Бог също казва: «Избери на кого ще служиш». Къде е разликата ли?
Истината е, че има 2 царства и ти може да си мислиш, че си избрал
най-доброто за себе си, но всъщност ако не си с Бог, Библията казва, че
пътя ти дори и да ти се вижда правилен води до погибел. Твоя свободен
избор се отнася за това под коя власт да влезеш.
Ако избереш Бог, ти влизаш под Неговата власт и Той има цел и съдба за
теб. Исус каза: «Не вие избрахте, но Аз избрах вас и ви определих да
давате плод и този плод да е траен». Ако избора как да живееш зависеше
само от теб, ти би могъл да подредиш приоритетите си така: «На първо
място семейството, на второ – работата, а Бог ще ми бъде хоби – в
свободното време ще ходя на Църква, понякога ще се моля или може да чета
по малко Библия».
Но Бог не иска да е хоби, Той държи да е на първо място в живота ти.
Така че, ако избереш Бог – твоят избор носи отговорност – да служиш на
Бог, да търсиш първо Него и Неговото Царство. Тогава Бог ще прибави
всичко от което се нуждаеш. «Той даде Сина Си за нас, как няма да ни
даде и всичко останало».
Господ е верен да изпълни Неговата част, а ти?

When the Supreme Council of Heaven meets all
night, takes Decisions and then Rises –Consider it done.
“My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of
my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto
David.”
PSALM 89:34-35 (KJV)
Truth is often defined as that which is trustworthy, genuine and
conforming to reality. We live in a world of lies and illusions where
the best of the promises and predictions of man can only be trusted
where there are alternatives or plan B. From our birth to our death, we
are surrounded by those dearest to us. Both man and women lie to each
other at the altar during their marriage vows. They soon forget the “I
do’s” before God.
“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should
not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet
will I not forget thee.” Isaiah 49:15
Fathers abandon boat and walk away from home for some flimsy reasons and
bridge the trust of the young ones. Governments lie to their subjects.
People lie and so create an image of falsehood all around mankind.
“God
is not a man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do
it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19
You
can stake your life on anything that God has spoken to you. We serve One
that can be trusted. We trust in One that does not take a bribe. We
believe in One that cannot be stampeded into a decision. God is
deliberate in His ways. Moreover He does not need any advises. For He
knows the end from the beginning. He does not detour on His word or
ways. His word is TRUTH.
“Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me. Pilate therefore said unto him , Art
thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this
end I was born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should
bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my
voice.” John 14:6,18:37
What is it that God has promised you? What is
it that He paid to you? If He paid it, you can bet your life on it.
“That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to
lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay
hold upon the hope set before us.” Hebrews 6:18
God cannot lie and He will not begin with you. He will do it for you.

Christ is the same today,
yesterday and tomorrow. We must love and forgive each other to see the
impossible possibilities of tomorrow today.
“Blessed
is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sins is covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in
whose spirit there is no guile. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old
through my roaring all the day log. For day and night thy hand was heavy
upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. I
acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said,
I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the
iniquity of my sin.”
PSALM 32:1-5 (KJV)
Forgiveness
and love is
important in our Christian life. As a Christian, we must love one
another even if the person is not in our faith. “By this shall all men
know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John
12:35 We must forgive any wrongs from our brothers and sisters which
they have done to us. “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men of
their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15
We must love one another no matter the faith he or she belongs, Muslim,
Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, or others. We must show love to anyone and
everyone. We must preach to them that Jesus Christ is God and the Peace
of the world and the Light of the world. “Now when all the people were
baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptised, and praying,
the heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape
like a dove upon Him, and a voice from heaven which said, Thou art my
beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.” Luke 3:21-22
Christ is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow. With Him, through Him
and by having faith in Him, all things are possible. We must love and
forgive each other to see His works in our lives. As we love and forgive
each other, God hears and acts on our prayers. May Jesus our God have
mercy on us and forgive us of our sins.

When people do not do what we want or think they
should,
it does not mean they are wrong or outside of God’s Plan!
“Come
ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the
beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD,
and his Spirit hath sent me.”
ISAIAH 48:16
(KJV)
PREPARED
READINESS.
God has a plan and purpose for every person’s
life. Whether the man/woman/child seeks out God to discover their
purpose will determine if they live out and walk in God’s Divine Will
and Perfect Plan. God does not predestine and appoint perfect people,
but perfects those whom HE has chosen. They that choose to hearken to
HIS voice and obey His commands, build a strengthened faith walk with
HIM through every step of obedience. “casting down imaginations, and
every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and
bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2
Corinthians 10:5 GOD always rewards obedience.
When the children of God worship the LORD in Spirit and in Truth, HE
shall direct our paths. God desires us to come to Him with a heart of
total submission, that we may be instructed, purged, and consecrated for
His purposes, plans, and Glory alone. God grants us the desires of our
heart when our passions and desires line up with His desires for our
lives. “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the
desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4
God prepares His people, positions them, and opens the doors that He
desires to be opened so that HE may receive all the Glory. It is in our
weakness that His strength is made perfect in us and we are made whole.
We are not ready until we have committed our plans to the LORD, but He
both readies and steadies us when we have said, Not my will, but your
will be done, oh Lord. We are justified and certified through our
obedience. God’s ways, plans, purposes, and precepts are perfect.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love
God, to them who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
It is never too soon or too late to get on God’s agenda, by exchanging
our will for His Divine Will!
God loves you, so don’t let anything worry you
or frighten you.
“And
he said, O man greatly beloved, fear not; peace be to you, be strong,
yes, be strong. And when he had spoken to me, I was strengthened and
said, Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
DANIEL 10:19
(Amplified Bible)
RISE
ABOVE BEING HURT. Things that cause everlasting hurt are
distressing. An undeserved slight; harsh words cruelly spoken; a
cynicism that continually cuts you down to size and causes you to be
discouraged; the refusal to give credit where credit is due, thereby
ignoring your true worth; and similar circumstances can cause intense
pain.
The healing of any hurt lies in your own power, for you are only
hurt as far as you allow yourself to be hurt. If other people are so
unkind and insensitive that they deliberately inflict hurt, you must not
sink to their level and allow their pettiness to spoil your life. When
you allow others to “hurt your feelings” so much so that you become
depressed and revengeful, you are manifesting the same spiritual and
mental smallness as the individual or group who inflicted you with hurt.
Sometimes hurt is not intended, but is self-inflicted because of
over-sensitivity or self-centeredness. It is a common practice to
over-react and to take exception even when no offense is intended.
Destructive emotions need to be controlled and the mind must be
disciplined in order that others will not have the power to hurt and
destroy your happiness.
When you are filled with the Spirit of the Living Christ and
experience His protection against everything that hurts and mars your
life, you will be able to forgive those who hurt you. When possessing
His love and radiating His forgiveness, nothing anyone says can wound
you for love and forgiveness heals everything. Tell yourself that it is
water under the bridge.

Stay Focused, Avoid Distractions, Keep Your Eyes
on Jesus.
“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from
whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven
and earth. He will no suffer they foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee
will not slumber.”
PSALM 121:1-3 (KJV)
Stay
Focused. My brothers and sisters in the faith, there are
times the way(s) get very hard. Though you are doing everything that you
believe is pleasing to God, things seem to be going in the wrong
direction. Maybe someone is spreading lies about you, or your car keeps
breaking down, or there are a million things going wrong all at once.
“He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in
the LORD.” Psalm 112:7
We often think: “What did I do wrong?” “What did I say wrong?” “How did
I anger God?” Even if we do make a mistake remember: “For a just man
falleth seven times, and riseth up again:” Proverb 24:16
We may feel like we don’t have anyone to turn to. Remember not to lose
focus. Focus on God. You can lift up your head to the hills which cometh
your help. Your help cometh from the Lord. Stay focused on God and He
will bring you through whatever you are going through. Man sometimes
will let you down. But God will never let you down. He will give you the
right direction when you stay focused on Him. “The steps of a good
man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighted in his way.” Psalm 37:23
Don’t look to the left nor look to the right. He is your help. “God
is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
The main thing is to say focused on God. Know that you can call on Him
in the middle of the night. He hears you and He will give you your
desires and give you the right direction(s) for what you have to do.
“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:6 God loves you.
