GODS PLAN FOR US CAN NEVER CHANGE

Do you know  God’s   plan for your life? And did you know that nothing or no one can change  His plans for us.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart”. (Jeremiah 29:11‭-‬13 NKJV).

“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”.(John 3:16‭-‬17 NKJV).

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers”.(III John 1:2 NKJV).

“For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”

Galatians 5:13 NKJV

Paul has already spoken of the “liberty which we have in Christ Jesus” (Gal. 2:4) and presented an analogy illustrating the believer’s spiritual descent from Abraham’s wife Sarah, a “free woman” (Gal. 4:21–31). He now declares:

It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom. If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then?

Freedom is at the very heart of the gospel and of godly living. It is not a side benefit or an adjunct to the Christian life. God has called all believers to freedom. To what are we called: we are called to liberty. The Christian is free. Free from the guilt of sin because the believer has experienced God’s forgiveness. The believer is free from the penalty of sin because Christ died for the believer on the cross. And the believer is, through the Spirit, free from the power of sin in daily life. The believer is also free from the Law with its demands and threats. (One day, when believers get to glory, we will be free from the presence of sin. 

Let’s pray:

“Almighty Father God in the name of Jesus through the Holy Spirit, Hallowed be your name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as is in Heaven, thank You for my freedom! I trust that You have a good plan for me and that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. Thank You for the freedom that You O Lord gave me in every area of my life in Jesus’ name I do pray and declare it all. Blessed are we and blessed we will always be and to our Lord Jesus Christ be all the Glory. Amen”

Praise the Lord as we pray for one another

LIFES INSTRUCTION  MANUAL  

“Now this is  the commandment, and  these  are the statutes and judgments which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly as the Lord God of your fathers has promised you— ‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’ “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord  is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant— when you have eaten and are full— then beware, lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him, and shall take oaths in His name. You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you (for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth. “You shall not tempt the Lord your God as you tempted Him in Massah. You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you. And you shall do what  is right and good in the sight of the Lord , that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which the Lord swore to your fathers, to cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken. “When your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is  the  meaning  of the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which the Lord our God has commanded you?’ then you shall say to your son: ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; and the Lord showed signs and wonders before our eyes, great and severe, against Egypt, Pharaoh, and all his household. Then He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in, to give us the land of which He swore to our fathers. And the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it  is this day. Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.’(Deuteronomy 6:1‭-‬25 NKJV).

“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. Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good”. (Romans 12:1‭-‬2‭, ‬9‭-‬21 NKJV).

“Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it”. (I Corinthians 10:6‭-‬13 NKJV).

“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. Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.Ephesians 2:4‭-‬13 NKJV).

GODLY BLESSINGS  

God always  wants  His children  to be bless,why would  Our Heavenly  Father  wants us to suffer , when He owns the whole  world ,and everything  in it. God’s  desire is for us to have the best of everything . 

“The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it”. (Proverbs 10:22 NKJV).

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers”.( 3 John 1:2 NKJV).

“For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord , And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him  with His hand. I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. He  is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed. Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore”. (Psalms 37:22‭-‬27 NKJV).

THE REASONS   WHY SOME SO CALLED CHRISTIANS  ARE NOT PROSPEROUS,AND IN GOOD HEALTH  IS,THAT THEY FORGET GOD.

* “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it  is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it  is this day. Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God”. (Deuteronomy 8:18‭-‬20 NKJV).

THEY DON’T  TRUST, NOR ACKNOWLEDGE  GOD.

*”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. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine”. (Proverbs 3:5‭-‬10 NKJV).

THEY DON’T  SEEK HIM FIRST , AND THEY DON’T  LISTEN NOR OBEY HIS EVERY WORD.

*“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?  Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;  and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.  But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”. (Matthew 6:25‭-‬34 NKJV).

That’s  just a small list;however, from Genesis  to Revelation   God has laid out His plans and desires  for all His children  from then till now.  But because  of disobedience  we sacrifice  His blessings , you can change  your situation  today,right  now by deciding  to be obedient  to His every word. HE TELLS  US TO TRY HIM,AND SEE.

“Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there  will not be  room enough to  receive  it. “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts; “And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the Lord of hosts”. (Malachi 3:8‭-‬12 NKJV).

CONCLUSION  

“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. Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ”. (Ephesians 2:4‭-‬13 NKJV).

“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.  Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.  But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.  Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.  But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience”.(Luke 8:11‭-‬15 NKJV).

FAITH

Most folks  allow  doubts  and fear to kill and destroy  their  faith . How does  faith  come or develop?

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. (Romans 10:17 NKJV). Therefore , anything  or anyone  who contradicts the word of God,is a liar and a faith killer and destroyer of faith.

SO GOD SAYS THAT IN ORDER FOR YOUR FAITH TO INCREASE ,  YOU MUST DO THIS:

● “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled”. ( 2  Corinthians 10:5‭-‬6 NKJV).

● “let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one  another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”(Hebrews 10:22‭-‬25‭, ‬38 NKJV).

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But without faith it  is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of  David and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens”. (Hebrews 11:1‭, ‬6‭-‬6‭, ‬32‭-‬34 NKJV).

Your FAITH in God and His Word is your personal KEY to access your VICTORY 

+Do not let the trying of your FAITH discourage you from accessing your VICTORY. 

+Your VICTORY is still waiting for you (DO NOT QUIT).

1 Timothy 6:12 

Fight the good fight of faith…

+And keep your FAITH. 

James 1:3 

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience. 

Hebrews 10:35-36 

35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompence of reward. 

36 For all of you have need of patience, that, after all of you have done the will of God, all of you might  receive the promise. 

+Plus the Lord is with you, and he is Faithful. He will never leave you or forsake you. 

•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!

FREE AT LAST,DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?

Some folks take freedom for granted, because they don’t know what it means to be free,if you have ever been incarcerated ,you have a taste of the lack of freedom . The decisions you make,may lead you to make wrong choices, that can and will be detrimental to our life and well being.
+All decisions are important.
+Every decision we make affects or highly impacts our lives in some way or another.
+When it comes to our personal lives some things should NOT BE, but yet THEY ARE.
+When it comes to our decision making who makes our decisions?
+Does God Make our decisions?
+Does the enemy (satan, devil) makes our decisions?
+Or do we make all decisions for ourselves?
Proverb 3:5-7
5 TRUST in the LORD with ALL YOUR HEART; and LEAN NOT INTO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.
6 IN ALL YOUR WAYS acknowledge him, and HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS.
7 Be NOT WISE in YOUR OWN EYES…

+Remember In all our ways we acknowledged the Lord and He directs our paths.
+Yes! God directs, but we make the decision to go in the directions He is leading us.
+Some of us do not make the decision to go in God’s Directions, and when things go wrong we blame God.
+In Genesis 2:16-17, and in Chapter 3, Adam made the wrong decision. He went in his own direction in the Garden of Eden.
+Then Adam blamed God and the Eve for what he did.
+Remember this, every ungodly, unrighteous or wrong decision will eventually lead to the point of sin and possible death in some way or another.
+Let us make decisions that promote Life, Love, Truth, Righteousness, Holiness and Faith for the Glory of God. Amen!

+Our decisions are influenced by our upbringing, life experiences and also by our character.
Proverb 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
+Our training and upbringing influences our decision making.
+We are still be trained and brought up in the things of God with the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit.
+Allow the Holy Spirit to influence your decision making.
Matthew 12:33
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.
+In other words the fruit we bear reveals our character, and our character influences our decisions.
+Let the fruit we bare be the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and the Fruits of Righteousness (James 3:18).

1 Kings 18:21says,
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long do you halt (or hesitate) between two opinions? if the LORD is God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
+Never you get stuck between two decisions. Our God is a clear and decisive God. He will lead us and guide us through all decisions.
+Remember James 1:8 A double-minded man is UNSTABLE in ALL HIS WAYS.
+Double minded also means:
-to be back and forth with the same thing.
-One moment the answer is YES and the next moment the answer is NO.
-One moment we in FAITH and the next moment we are in DOUBT.
+Let us make sure we are not double minded but DECISIVE when it comes to the things of God and decision making in our lives.

Finally
+It’s your choice (decision) to choose your words carefully.
Matthew 12:36
36 But I say unto you, that every IDLE WORD that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by your WORDS you shall be JUSTIFIED, and by your WORDS you shall be CONDEMNED.
+IDLE WORDS are USELESS WORDS. These are words that do not promote Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.
+Choose with Godly Wisdom WHAT to speak, HOW to speak it, WHEN to speak it, and WHERE to speak it.
Psalm 19:14
Let the WORDS OF OUR MOUTHS, and the MEDITATIONS OF MY HEARTS, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my Strength, and Our Redeemer.
•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!

Acts 3:19-20 tells us to:
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, [20] and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus.

My Prayer…
Loving Lord Jesus, You have loved me even though I have not loved You. I admit that I am a sinner and I know that there is no other way to have my many sins forgiven except through Your blood, that was shed at Calvary – for sinners such as me.

I believe that You died for me and that You took all the punishment for my sins that I justly deserve. Lord I repent of all my sins and pray that You would forgive me all my trespasses.

Please come into my life – I receive You as my Saviour for You promised that as many as receive You – You will give the right to become sons of God.. even to those who believe on Your name. Lord I believe and want to follow You as My Lord and Saviour, from this day forward.. In Jesus Mighty Name. Thank You for hearing my prayer. Amen

THE DEVIL IS DEFEATED . 

As christians satan’s desire is to destroy us, Jesus saud, “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”. (John 10:10 NKJV).

“And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”(Luke 22:31‭-‬32 NKJV). In this life,we can’t  afford  to lose our faith,hope,and trust in God. Because , it will lead to discouragement,frustration ,and things that will let us feel defeated.

Don’t  allow  that to happen ,you should  know that, the devil is no match for us. Because,  Jesus not only defeated him;But He gave us the authority over him. “And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 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 10:18‭-‬20 NKJV).

REMEMBER :

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled”.(II Corinthians 10:3‭-‬6 NKJV).

“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. 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. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to  be  compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the  will  of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 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 8:1‭-‬39 NKJV).

You Have Victory, and Rest in the Lord, as 1 Kings 5:4 says;
But now the LORD my God has given me REST ON EVERY SIDE, so that there is neither ADVERSARY nor MISFORTUNE.
+We have REST ON EVERY SIDE in Christ Jesus.
Acts 17:28
For in Him (Christ Jesus) we LIVE, and MOVE, and have our BEING…
+The (ADVERSARY) the devil is DEFEATED by our Lord Jesus Christ, and no WEAPONS, or (MISFORTUNE) formed against us shall prosper, or (overcome us).
+For LORD our God has given us REST ON EVERY SIDE, so that there is neither ADVERSARY nor MISFORTUNE should happen to us.

LOVE NEVER HURT ANYONE

IT’S  ALL ABOUT  LOVE.

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not LOVE, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the  gift  of  prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not LOVE, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the  poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not LOVE, it profits me nothing. LOVE  suffers long and is kind; LOVE  does not envy; LOVE  does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. LOVE  never fails. But whether there  are prophecies, they will fail; whether there  are tongues, they will cease; whether there  is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; BUT  THE  GREATEST  OF  THESE  IS  LOVE”. (1  Corinthians 13:1‭-‬13 NKJV).

“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must  do.  BUT  ABOVE  ALL  THESE  THINGS  PUT  ON  LOVE, WHICH  IS  THE  BOND  OF  PERFECTION. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful”. (Colossians 3:12‭-‬15 NKJV).

“And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “LOVE  WILL  COVER  A  MULTITUDE  OF  SINS.”(1  Peter 4:8 NKJV).

“LOVE  has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in LOVE; but PERFECT  LOVE  casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in LOVE. We LOVE  HIM  because He first loved us. If someone says, “I LOVE  GOD,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not LOVE  his brother whom he has seen, how can he LOVE  God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must LOVE  his brother also”. (1  John 4:17‭-‬21 NKJV).

TRUST GOD AND SEE

“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}

Two PAINS of Life
+The PAIN of Discipline and the Pain of Regret.
+The more we fail in the Pain of Discipline, the more we will experience the Pain of Regret.
+The pain of regret comes from not trying, giving up and making bad decisions.
+The Pain of Discipline brings you Strength, Prosperity and Good Success.
+Never let the Pain of Regret paralyze your life because our God is Merciful, Forgiving, Gracious, Loving and filled with Compassion.
Romans 8:28
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.
+Remember all things are possible by God and all things are possible to them that believe.
Proverb 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all of your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.

REMEMBER THIS:
We are Blessed in Christ,and
John 10:10( AMP) says,
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the fullest until it overflows).
1 John 3:8 AMP
[But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].
+The abundantly (Blessed) life is only found in Christ.
+The abundantly (Blessed) Life  consists of all that pertains to life and godliness.
+Remember that in Christ all the works of the enemy against us are totally and completely destroyed.
•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!
