Experience the power of God

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 }.

Every believer, should experience the power of God within, as 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 says,” And my speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of POWER:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of God.
THE QUESTION IS ?
+Do you have faith in the POWER of God?
+What do you understand about the POWER of God?
+The POWER of God works!
+There is absolutely nothing that the POWER of God cannot do.
+God (Christ Jesus our Lord) is unlimited in POWER. He is Omnipotent!
+In Revelation 19:6 Christ Jesus is the Lord God Omnipotent who Reigns.
#1 Know that the Lord we serve is the Possessor of Unlimited and Everlasting Power (Omnipotent).
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.

In Matthew 28:18 Jesus said: All POWER is given unto me in Heaven and in Earth.
#2 Know that the POWER of God is not limited by time and space.
+ Time and location is not a barrier to God’s Power. WHY NOT? Because God is Omnipresent (present everywhere).
Psalms 139:7-8
Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (Hell: the place of the dead), behold, You are there.
+The power of God can reach you right now right where you are.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.

+In Acts Ch-16 Paul and Silas were attacked by a multitude of people who ripped of their clothes, had them whipped and thrown into prison.
Acts 16:25-26
And at midnight Paul and Silas PRAYED, and SANG PRAISES unto God…
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were OPENED, and every one’s bands were LOOSED.
#3 The Power of God can be experienced through Prayers and Praises unto God.
+I pray that you experience the Power of God and may all that tries to hold you back in life be shaken and broken in the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

BENEFITS for the RIGHTEOUS

The eyes of the Lord ; are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord ; is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord ; is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
{Psalms 34:15-19}

I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice. Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord ; He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him.
[Psalms 37:25, 28-30, 37, 39-40]

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
(Psalms 92:12)

The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish, But He casts away the desire of the wicked. The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The labor of the righteous leads to life, The wages of the wicked to sin. The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom. When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation. The righteous will never be removed, But the wicked will not inhabit the earth. The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, But the perverse tongue will be cut out. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
[Proverbs 10:3, 11-11, 16, 21-21, 25, 30-32 ].

He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.{Proverbs 11:28,30}

The Lord is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.
{Proverbs 15:29 }

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.{1 Peter 3:12-17}

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.{James 5:16}

WHAT’S SALVATION

I realize that their are many people in the world,who don’t even know what salvation is,or what it means. The sad thing is , that there are Christians who don’t know,what it is, and can’t explain it.
LISTEN,
I am not an expert,on salvation,but through the Holy Spirit ,who is the expert,I can say that:
SALVATION is deliverance from sin,and its consequences through Christ Jesus. Or, in simpler terms,it’s being saved from the power of sin,and its penalties which is permanent death and everlasting torment in hell.

Sometimes it’s referred to as deliverance or redemption.
However, the point i am trying to make ,is that,the only person who can deliver us from sin is Jesus Christ,no one else.
Acts 4:12 says,
” Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
1 Timothy 2:3-6,puts it this way:
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time…”
NOTE
To be completely delivered, you must be born again.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 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. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”{John 3:3, 5-8, 16-21}

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
[Romans 5:6-11]

And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
{Ephesians 2:1-10 }

SPIRITUAL EXAMINATION

Have you ever had a spiritual check up,just to make sure you are walking in righteousness,and talking in the beauty of Holiness.
2 Corinthians 13:5 tells us to,
“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified”.

King David,didn’t trust himself to do it, so he ask God the Doctor of all doctors do it.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. [Psalms 139:23-24].
The truth is that when God does it, you know that it’s done properly, and thoroughly,and He does it with the word.
that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
[Ephesians 5:26-27].

HERE IS WHY WE NEED A SPIRITUAL CHECKUP.
“For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load. Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life”,
(Galatians 6:3-8 )
AFTER SELF EXAMINATION,DOCTOR JESUS, prescription is,
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, according to”,
(Colossians 3:1-10 ).
However, if you have examined yourself,and realized that you are not walking with God,nor know God through His only begotten Son,then go to the top of this blog,and click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you,for the rest of your life.

REMEMBER IT’S BECAUSE OF HIS MERCY

For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”{Romans 9:15}.

Many folks walk around as if they are entitled to life and the things they have,failing or refusing to admit that it’s all because of God’s mercy.

It doesn’t matter how much education, money, fame or whatever you have, it’s only because of God’s mercy why you’re not dead.

LISTEN CLEARLY
“This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through the Lord ’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They  are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord, is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord, is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.” {Lamentations 3:21-25}

IF YOU ARE NOT RICH,IN CHRIST, or THROUGH CHRIST, then you are destitute. Hear this:
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus”.
{Ephesians 2:4-7 }

DID YOU KNOW :
That when you are rich in, and through Christ,then you are truly rich, as 1Peter 1:3- 7 says,
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ”…

What are you sowing into? What or who are you putting all your time and effort into ?
“Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord , Till He comes and rains righteousness on you. You have plowed wickedness; You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, Because you trusted in your own way, In the multitude of your mighty men”,{Hosea 10:12-13} LISTEN
“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”.
[Romans 12:1 ]

If you didn’t accept Jesus Christ, as your Lord ,and savior,you should be calling on Him,like the blind man in Luke 18:36-38
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

DON’T DELAY
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
{ Hebrews 4:16 }
REMEMBER:
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
[Psalms 23:6]

BLESSING’S WILL FOLLOW YOU

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. “The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. “The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord , and they shall be afraid of you. And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
[ Deuteronomy 28:1-14 ]

•You are the blessed of the Lord. All your needs and desires are abundantly and unlimtedly supplied with the inexhaustible provisions and riches of God in Christ Jesus.
•In your relationship with Christ you are loved, thought of, cared for, prayed for and you are protected. In John Ch-17 and Romans 8:26, 27 & 34 Jesus and the Holy Spirit are still praying for us.
•Allow the peace of God to rule your heart, His wisdom to rule your mind and know that our God is also our source of comfort, Joy and strength.
Numbers 6:24-26
The LORD bless you, and keep you:
The LORD make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

CONFESSION of the HEART and SOUL

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by  Your  generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.
[Psalms 51:7-17]

GOD’S PROMISE after confession:
if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.
{2 Chronicles 7:14-15}

CONFESSION opens the door,for fellowship with God ,and each other.
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
{1 John 1:5-10}. To confess go to the top of this blog and click on to the salvation page.

DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY

As Christians we have diplomatic immunity in or from this world. We have been granted the privilege of exemption from death ,debt, sickness and other things, through Christ Jesus’s sacrifice for us.
HERE is what the contract says about our diplomatic status.
“My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments”.
[ I John 2:1-3 ]

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. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.{Romans 8:1-4}

ALWAYS REMEMBER what the Bible says,about our diplomatic status:
John 17 says,” They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth”.
{John 17:16-17 }
Second,”For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself”.(Philippians 3:20-21)

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord , And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord .
{ Isaiah 54:17 }

Thus says the Lord , your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.
{ Isaiah 48:17 }

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.”
{ Luke 10:19-20 }

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…[ Psalms 91:1-5 ]

And the list goes on , However,if you desire this diplomatic status,just go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions. May God continue to bless and keep you.
