BE A VESSEL FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT,TO USE.

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAK,THROUGH YOU.

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.” (Matthew 10:16-20 NKJV).

” Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.” ( Luke 21:14-15 NKJV).

” And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,  that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,  which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.

For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.  These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:1-16 NKJV).

” If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”(1 Peter 4: 11 NKJV).

•  Remember this. God by His Holy Spirit works in you, through you and for you.
++Let Go and Trust God++

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1:24-25 NKJV].

Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

BE STRONG, BE HOLY, BE PERFECT.

God would never tell you to be something, that you are not already,  or that you can’t be. Because He created you with it. When He was creating the world, He said, ” let there be light, and there was light “.

” For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth.  For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. “( Leviticus 11:44-45 NKJV).

” Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” ( Matthew 5:48 NKJV).

” Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” ( Ephesians 6:10 NKJV).

“… as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,  because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” ( 1 Peter 1: 14-16 NKJV).

”  My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,  knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”(James 1:2-4 NKJV).


” Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:…” (Philippians 4 :11 NKJV).

” For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.”( Hebrews 10:14 NKJV).


•Our strength is always in the Lord.
•Anyone that is strong in their own strength is dangerous to them self , and to others.

• When we realized that the Lord is our strength, and the strength of our lives, and the strength by which we live, we will live life without fears ,and  doubts.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. “[ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

BE LED BY THE SPIRIT, NOT YOUR FLESH.

” Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ( Matthew 26:41 NKJV ).

The spirit is willing: You are predisposed (always ready) in your spirit by the Holy Spirit to obey God. You are strong in your spirit by the Holy Spirit.

The flesh is weak: The weakness of the flesh is it’s susceptibility to sin and it’s inability to obey God.

” For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” (Romans 8:5-11 NKJV).

” I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,  idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,  envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.  AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS. IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT,LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT” (Galatians 5: 16-25 NKJV).

Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

” Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).” [ Jude 1 :24-25 AMPC].

A THANKFUL HEART

1Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.


•In Christ Jesus you are never without victory. You have the victory all the time. When challenges come your way you should not be looking for to get the victory. All you have to do is to exercise the victory you already have through Christ Jesus. Amen!

” What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”( Romans 8: 31-39 NKJV).

• you are more than a conqueror and you already have the victory. Just function like and get used to it.

This is where 1 Timothy 6:9-14 NKJV comes in : ” But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. [11] But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. [12] Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. [13] I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, [14] that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing,

• Again you are not fighting the good fight of faith to get a victory. It’s a good fight because victory is already yours before the fight, during the fight and after the fight. Yes! You are more than a conqueror through Christ our Lord.


In Luke 10:19-20 NKJV Jesus says: “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

“.Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– [25] To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it). “[ Jude 1:24-25 AMPC].

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen

BE  BOLD

You have Godly Boldness
Proverbs 28:1 says :
…the righteous are bold as a lion.
•You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and you have the boldness of Christ who is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.


Hebrew 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


•When we go to God’s Throne of Grace in prayer we must go with trust, confidence and surety without hesitation. With this attitude of faith and boldness we will always obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.


Ephesians 6:18-20 says when we pray with all prayers and supplication in the Spirit utterance will be given unto us to speak boldly like we ought to speak.


•Continue to exercise your godly boldness in Christ Jesus.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

IT’S TIME TO GRADUATE FROM BELIEVING TO KNOWING.

” For I KNOW the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ( Jeremiah 29: 11 NIV ). But another version, puts it this way : ” For I KNOW the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”( Jeremiah 29:11 KJV)

Job 19:25 KJV says :
“FOR I KNOW that my redeemer liveth, And that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:..”

However, Romans 8:28 KJV says:
“AND WE KNOW that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”


” These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; THAT YE MAY KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, WE KNOW that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”( 1 John 5: 13-15 KJV).


” Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.  AND I KNEW that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.” ( John 11: 40-42 KJV).

” But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I KNOW them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” ( John 10: 26-29 KJV).


” Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” ( John 8: 31-32 KJV).

FINALLY

“Therefore to him that KNOWETH to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” ( James 4:17 KJV).

” Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).” [ Jude 1: 24-25 AMPC]

IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD?

  1. NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR GOD
    JEREMIAH 32: 17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.”
    JEREMIAH 32: 27 “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”
    MATTHEW 19: 26 “Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” NLT
  2. THE PURPOSES OF GOD CANNOT BE THWARTED. Job 42: 2
    JOB 42: 2 “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.”
  3. I AM CREATED FOR GOOD AND GREAT WORKS. Ephesians 2: 10; John 14: 12
    PRAYER AND MEDITATION
    Father move on my heart that I may move from the realm of human reasoning to that of Yours which is Your perfect will for me. Move me from the realms of impossibilities to the realm of Your possibilities in Jesus’ name. Father I want to see Your hand on me and around me. Stretch out Your Mighty hand and display glory all around. Remove from me and around me all that constitute impossibilities.
    I declare, that impossibilities shall be found no more in and around me in Jesus’ name.
    I uproot impossibilities from within and without in Jesus’ name!
    I declare, the possibilities of God are mine in Jesus’ name.
    I declare, grace and help from heaven are mine in Jesus’ name.
    I am created for good and great works prepared long ago by God my Father.
    And I accept the assignment and call of God in Jesus’ name!
    I therefore say that from today nothing shall or be able to hold back my success in Jesus’ name
    I thank You Father that You can do all things, that no plans of Yours, even those concerning me can ever be thwarted. I thank You for my security in Christ Jesus. AMEN!!!

THE RIGHT DECISION

How Do You Handle Decisions?
1King 18:21
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long will all of you halt (or be indecisive) between two opinions (or two decisions)? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal (or satan), then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
•When you need to make a sure and solid decision indecisiveness can frustrate your mind and make you mentally and emotionally unstable.
James 1:8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
•Many of us are strong enough undergo and sustain hardship with people and things but are too weak to depart from these people and things when we should.
•In times like these the decision is not easy but its worth it. Just do it.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says to,
Trust in the LORD with all of your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all of your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
•The Lord will direct you and even tell you what you should do, but He will not MAKE you do it. If you are too weak to make the right decision ask Him for strength and He will be your strength in making the right decision.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

THE WORD IN US.

The Power of God’s Word in us.
” But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil,  in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them,  I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. 

I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”(Deuteronomy 30:14-20 NKJV).

” But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” ( Romans 10: 8-15 KJV ).

However, 1 Thessalonians 2:13 says:
” For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, because, when all of you received the Word of God which all of you heard of us, all of you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in TRUTH, the WORD of GOD, which EFFECTUALLY WORKS also in you who BELIEVE.
Effectual: capable of producing all intents and purposes.

Then Hebrew 4:12 AMP,says:
For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power making it active, operative, energizing, and effective…

• The WORD of God in us is Alive, Active, Operative, Energizing and Effective. It is capable of producing all the intents and purposes of God in us and through us.
• When we take man made medication we have no issues expecting the intents and purposes the medication is to produce.
• How much more then shall we expect the Word of God to produce in us the intents and purposes of God.

” Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” [Jude 1: 24-25 KJV].

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

ARE YOU LIVING BY FAITH ?

The Importance of Living by FAITH


•Four times God said in the Bible “The JUST shall live by FAITH”

Habakkuk 2:4 NKJV
“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.

Romans 1:16-17 NKJV
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.  For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

Galatians 3:11 NKJV
But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”

Hebrews 10:35-38 NKJV
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.  For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:  “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.  Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”

The word JUST in scripture means justified ( just as if we have never sinned). It also means RIGHTEOUS.

•It is impossible to please God without faith, Hebrews 11:6.
•It doesn’t take any FAITH to live unholy and unrighteous, but it takes FAITH in Christ Jesus to live HOLY and RIGHTEOUS. Why?
Galatians 2:16 says,
Knowing that a man is not justified (or made righteous) by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ…
•You are righteous, justified, sanctified and holy because you live by the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His redemptive work for us.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
