PRAISES GO UP,Blessings come down.

Bless the Lord , O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord , O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.{Psalms 103:1-5}

Praise the Lord ! Praise, O servants of the Lord , Praise the name of the Lord ! Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord ’s name is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, Who dwells on high,{Psalms 113:1-5}.

I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord , and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, And I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness. The Lord  is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord  is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall praise You, O Lord , And Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The Lord upholds all who fall, And raises up all who  are bowed down. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The Lord preserves all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord , And all flesh shall bless His holy name Forever and ever.
Psalms 145:1-21

I Will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the Lord ; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.
{ Psalms 34:1-3 }

GOD LIVES IN YOU

God is IN you, WITH you and FOR you.
“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another”.{1 John 4:4-11 }

THEREFORE, as Romans 8 tells us :
” There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 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. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against 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 8:1,11-11,31, 35-39 ]

COME ON children of God,
•Let’s not focus so much on the wrong that others do to us, but instead let’s focus more on loving them with the Love of God and doing them rightly by the Word of God.
Romans 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance  is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.
Matthew 5:44 says,
“But I say unto you, LOVE your enemies, BLESS them that curse you, DO GOOD to them that hate you, and PRAY for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. That all of you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven…”

REMEMBER:
” I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me”.
{Galatians 2:20 }

FINALLY:
” I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”.
[Romans 12:1-2 ]

+Always let the Word of God be the standard for your life. Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be the glory.

JUST BELIEVE

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
{John 11:25-27 }

All you have to do is believe:
The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
[John 20:25-29 ]

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
{Mark 9:23-24 }

BE STRONG

Ephesians 6:10
…be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
•Our strength is always in the Lord.
•Anyone that is strong in their own strength is dangerous to them self ; and to others.

THE APOSTLE PAUL said:
“And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong”.
[2 Corinthians 12:7-10 ].
HOWEVER, Psalms 27:1 REMINDS US THAT:

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; whom shall I be afraid?
•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.
•In 1Samuel 17, David faced Goliath, and took him on in the Name of the Lord of Hosts. David didn’t look at the giant size,nor the difference between he and Goliath to determine his victory. David didn’t looked at the strength difference between he and Goliath to determine his victory. David knew the Lord was the strength of his life and the Lord guarantees his Victory.
•Likewise the Lord is your Strength of your life and He guarantees your Victory. So walk victorious in the Lord.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

GOD’S EVERLASTING LOVE

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
{ John 3:16-19}

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to  be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. 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 8:29-39 ]

BE FEARLESS

The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion.{ Proverbs 28:1}

Obedience to God,will drive away fear,doubts,and unbelief,and make you bold.
THE FACT IS:
Praying and Studying the Bible ,which is God’s resume and autobiography for helping people will make you bold for God ,and have more CONFIDENCE in Him.
1Timothy 2:15 says: study to show yourself approved unto God…
Ephesians 6:18-20 says praying always with all prayers and utterance will be given unto you to speak BOLDLY like you ought to speak. Alleluia!
-Deliverance from the enemy and Freedom in the Lord also makes you BOLD for God, and more CONFIDENT in Him.

A BOLD PERSON IS : without fear or intimidation of all things; they are confident and courageous in the Lord in all things.
Hebrews 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.
-BOLDNESS is an attribute of our Lord. Be BOLD and COURAGEOUS for Jesus.

Unfortunately,most folks have not maximize their full potential, and abilities because of fear of the unknown.
However,those who has no fear,has gone where no one has gone, and do what no man has done,because they trust God and take Him at His word,which makes them fearless.

Therefore, the motto of the fearless is:
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
[ Philippians 4:13 ].

AND:
In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You, For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
{ Psalms 56:11-13}
PLUS :
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me. It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in princes.
[ Psalms 118:6-9 ]

FINALLY:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord , “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord , who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
[ Psalms 91:1-11]

AGAIN BOLD MEANS : to be confident and sure; not hesitating or fearful, but courageous.
Again Prov 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.
Hebrews 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.
Listen, exercise Godly BOLDNESS in Christ Jesus, and let the Word of God be the standard for your life.

REMEMBER:
being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
{ Philippians 1:6}

WHY LIVE IN FEAR

As children of God, why are we panicking, and living in fear when God distinctly says :
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord , “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord , who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.{Psalms 91:1-11}

GOD NEVER LIES:

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
{ Psalms 23:4 }

REMEMBER:
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
[2 Timothy 1:7 ]

GOD SAYS:
“Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord , and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord , And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord , Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.(Psalms 37:1-6 )

YOU LACK WISDOM, ask GOD

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
{ James 1:5-8 }

“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him,  being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins”.
{Colossians 1:9-14}

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.{Ephesians 1:15-21}

REMEMBER:
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.
[ Proverbs 19:8 ]

Let my cry come before You, O Lord ; Give me understanding according to Your word. Let my supplication come before You; Deliver me according to Your word. My lips shall utter praise, For You teach me Your statutes. My tongue shall speak of Your word, For all Your commandments are righteousness.
[ Psalms 119:169-172 ]

PUT ON GOD’S ARMOR in these perilous times

image
PERILOUS TIMES IN THE LAST DAYS:
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.{ 2 Timothy 3:1-7 }.

HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE LAST DAYS:
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak”.
[ Ephesians 6:10-20 ]

THE POWER WITHIN

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (I John 4:4 )
+Power With Christ+
Luke 20:1-2
The Scribes and Elders said to Jesus tell us by what authority you do these things (miracles, signs, wonders, healing and deliverances? or who is he that gave you this authority?
Matt 28:18
And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
•All-Power speaks of the Omnipotence of Jesus. This covers the sum total all powers and authorities. 
•When we received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and got filled with the Holy Spirit and Fire and Power we entered into Omnipotence with Christ.
•We on our own are powerless, but but in Christ and in Christ alone we operate in His Omnipotent Power by the Holy Spirit.
Luke 10:19
Behold, I give unto you power (authority)…
Acts 1:8
But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…
Matt 10:1
AND when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
•The rapture of the Church has not yet come. Therefore the demonstration of the Spirit and Power of Christ continues with us His Church. 
•Let the Word of God be the standard for your life. Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
