RECEIVING GOD’S GIFTS

​How to receive from God? You must first know these things:

1.For the Lord God is  a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!(Psalms 84:11‭-‬12 )

2. All that God offers is righteous, holy and good. 

3. Know the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (His Word). 

4. Ask and ask in faith. 

James 4:2 …you have not because you ask not. 

John 16:24 

…ask, and all of you shall receive, that your joy may be full. 

1John 5:14-15

 And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He hears  us .And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired  of Him. 

4. By faith know that you have what you asked for before you see what you ask for. 

5. Now that you know by faith that you have what you asked for anticipate the manifestation of it at all times until it has manifested. 

•Keep your faith, trust and confidence in God without wavering and without doubt. Be steadfast and immovable in faith in spite of the situation. God is Faithful. He will deliver. He is True to His Word and Promises. 

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

DWELLING IN HIS PRESENCE 

​why wouldn’t anyone want to live in God’s presence,where there is joy and peace.

“You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore”(Psalms 16:11).

How to Live in the Manifested Presence of God .

Psalm 91:1

He that DWELLS (lives) in the SECRET PLACE of the MOST HIGH shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 

+The SECRET PLACE of the Lord MOST HIGH is HIS MANIFESTED PRESENCE. 

+How do we get into, and dwell in the SECRET PLACE of the MOST HIGH?

John 14:23 

Jesus answered and said:

If a man LOVES me, he will keep my words: and my Father will LOVE him, and WE will come unto him, and make our ABODE (dwell or live) with him. 

+The DWELLING PLACE, SECRET PLACE or MANIFESTED PRESENCE of the Lord begins with us LOVING Him OBEDIENTLY. 

+To LOVE God OBEDIENTLY is to do all things from our hearts in LOVE, TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, and FAITH. 

+How do we get into, and dwell in the SECRET PLACE of the MOST HIGH?

Psalm 66:18

If I regard INIQUITY in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 

INIQUITY: Sin, evil, wickedness and such like things. 

+Before we get into the DWELLING PLACE, SECRET PLACE, or MANIFESTED PRESENCE of the Lord we must repent from all know sins, and make sure that we are living in Love, Truth, Righteousness, Holiness and Faith. 

+The third thing to practice in order to enter the SECRET PLACE of the Lord MOST HIGH and HIS MANIFESTED PRESENCE is Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship. 

Psalm 100:4 

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and BLESS HIS NAME. 

2 Chronicles 5:13-14

13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For He is Good; for His mercy endures forever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; 

14 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the GLORY of the LORD had filled the house of God. 

+Let us always give unto the Lord the Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship that will maintain His MANIFESTED PRESENCE in our lives. Hallelujahs to Jesus!!!

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. 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!

STRENGTH

My strength doesn’t come from lifting weights,for it’s when I am weak that God is my strength. For greater is He who is in me,than he that is in the world.

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 p  and to others.

Psalms 27:1 

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of  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!

CONSIDER YOUR WAYS 

Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to  put into a bag with holes.” Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! {Haggai 1:5-7}.

“For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes. And first I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.” O Lord , my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, “Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things. ” Will a man make gods for himself, Which are not gods? “Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know My hand and My might; And they shall know that My name is the Lord” {Jeremiah 16:17-21} .

Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the Lord ; Let us lift our hearts and hands To God in heaven.[Lamentations 3:40‭-‬41]

DELIVERANCE 

​Lord deliver us from everything that breaks your heart.

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.(Lamentations 3:21‭-‬23).

SO LORD:

“Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord , my strength and my Redeemer”.{Psalms 19:13‭-‬14}

‘But the person who does anything presumptuously, whether  he  is native-born or a stranger, that one brings reproach on the Lord , and he shall be cut off from among his people. Because he has despised the word of the Lord , and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt shall  be upon him.’ (Numbers 15:30‭-‬31)

Deliverance means freedom. When God delivers you, you are free from whatever had you bound. “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). The devil is a thief, The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep” (John 10:10‭-‬11).

REMEMBER 

Satan will make every effort to lure you back into bondage. You don’t have to recommit to him. Enjoy your freedom!

THEREFORE:

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage”[Galatians 5:1].

+++Freedom In Christ+++

IN [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off]. 

•In Christ Jesus we are totally free spirit, soul, mind and body, past, present and future.

•In Christ Jesus we are free from the world and the devil. There is absolutely nothing in this world that should keep up down. 

•You may have gotten knock down with sickness, disease, financial hardship or bad relationships but you don’t have to stay down.

•I command you in The Name of Jesus! Get up! and stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free. For who the the Son set free is free indeed.

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

WALK IN LOVE 

​We can keep the enemy (Satan the devil) defeated all the times by just simply WALKING IN THE  LOVE of God. 

Ephesians 5:1-2

1 Be you therefore followers of God, as dear children; 

2 AND WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also has loved us…

+WALKING IN LOVE implies the DEMONSTRATION and APPLICATION of LOVE one to another for the glory of Christ our Lord. 

+Remember God is LOVE and LOVE which is God never fails. God’s LOVE has His OMNIPOTENT POWER in it. 

+The SUPERNATURAL OMNIPOTENT POWER that in the LOVE of God is fatally detrimental to the enemy. 

+Wherever and whenever the LOVE of God is APPLIED and DEMONSTRATED the VICTORY we have in Christ is being afflicted and inflected upon the enemy with excruciating intolerable pain, torment and torture. 

+Walking in LOVE is an exercise of our victory in Christ and simultaneously exercising God’s Power over the defeated enemy. 

+Hallelujahs to Jesus!

•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!

YOU CAN’T HIDE YOUR THOUGHTS NOR DEEDS FROM GOD.

​”O Lord , You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there  is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord , You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are  there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to  You. For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as  yet  there  were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You”.(Psalms 139:1‭-‬18)

LISTEN 

Ecclesiastes 12:14 says,

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether  it be evil. 

1Corinthians 3:13-15

“Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 

If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 

If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 

•In Christ we have all that pertains to life and godliness. 

Colossians 3:23

And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. 

•Knowing that God’s work done His way will never lack His supply. 

•Put the Love of God in everything you do, and in everything you do put your Faith in God. 

•You will reap many rewards in this life and in the life to come.

•Continue to 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!

UNCLAIMED RICHES 

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”(Joshua 1:8‭-‬9).

LISTEN:

“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}

IT’S  NOT  EASY  

God never  said,  it would  be easy  to  follow,  and be obedient to Him. However , He promised  never to leave nor forsake us.

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”(Deuteronomy 31:6)

“But now, thus says the Lord , who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will  be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you”, (Isaiah 43:1‭-‬2)

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”(John 16:33)

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,  and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.[2 Timothy 3:12‭-‬17].

THE TRUTH  IS  :

We  are  hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we  are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you. And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.[2 Corinthians 4:8‭-‬18 ]. 

So don’t  quit,don’t  give up,and never  lose hope. Just hold on to His promises . “Let  your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord  is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” [Hebrews 13:5‭-‬6 ]

GOD OF POSSIBILITIES 

​Our God IS…

The God of all POSSIBILITIES 

In Jeremiah 32:27 He assured us,by saying:

Behold, I AM the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there ANYTHING TOO HARD for me? 

In Matthew 19:26 Jesus assured us agsin,

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE. 

Mark 9:23 

Jesus said unto him, If you can believe, ALL THINGS are possible to him that believes. 

+As hard, difficult, hopeless and impossible things may seem be, KNOW THIS:

1. NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR THE LORD. 

2. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD. 

3. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT BELIEVE.  

Genesis 15:6 (AMP)

And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness (right standing with God). 

THEREFORE 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

[Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6]

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. 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!
