TO WALK RIGHT WITH GOD,YOU MUST LET GO OF UNGODLY THINGS.

“I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him”. (Romans 12:1‭-‬3 AMPC).

Colossians 3:5-10 says,
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,

“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you”.
(Ephesians 4:1‭-‬32 NKJV).

Understanding What it Means to be GOOD and to do GOOD
+Understanding GOOD from God’s point of view.
+God is Good, Psalm 100:5, and in the Goodness of God is Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.
God is Love, 1 John 4:8.
God is Truth, John 14:6.
God is Holy, Psalm 22:3
God is Righteous, Psalms 116:5
God is Faith, Galatians 2:20
+As Children of God our goodness must be the same as God’s Goodness.
+Remember nothing is GOOD unless it has Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith in it.
+For example if we do something in Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith and without Love it is not Good.
+The same principle applies if we do any combination of the four words and leave one out.
+Again nothing is Good by God’s standards unless it is done in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.
•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!

Psalms 29:11tells us that, The LORD will give STRENGTH unto His people. Then
Psalms 27:1says,the Lord is the STRENGTH of my life. However,
Ephesians 6:10 says,”Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the power of his might”. In Luke 10:19 Jesus gives us the power to tread on serpents,scorpions,and over all the power of the enemy,and nothing shall by any means hurt us. Are you aware of the power we have,and don’t utilize it. In Revelation 19:6. The Lord God is Omnipotent and He is the Strength of your life. This means that you have the Omnipotent Power of God in you.
What have you been doing with this Power? The Power of God is for you to live a Godly life on earth as if you are in Heaven. A life without sickness, disease, poverty, attacks from the devil and the list goes on.It’s time to put the Power of God to to work in your life. He said in 3 John 2 ” Beloved, I wish above all things,that thou mayest prosper and be in health,even as thy soul prosper” Is your soul prospering? Then use what God gives you for His glory.

You Don’t Have To Give Up
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2Corinthians 5:7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
+Remember what it means to go through something. Going through means you are passing through, and since you are passing through do not stop. Keep marching forward like a soldier in the army of God and you will eventually come out of it, or it will pass you by.
+You cannot be defeated unless you allow it.
+Give the Lord all that He requires from you in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith in Him.
+The battle is already won and Victory is yours.
•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!

“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall peris”.(Psalms 1:1‭-‬6 NKJV).

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doing “. (Jeremiah 17:7‭-‬10 NKJV).

You are Blessed when you Believe in Jesus
John 6:37-40 (Jesus said)
…and they that come to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Then He advises us in
John 14:1-3
Let not your heart be troubled: all of you believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there all of you may be also.
However,in Titus 2:13 it says, Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
•Stay ready for the coming of the Lord is near.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be the glory. Amen!

WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. So use it
1Corinthians 2:16
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Philippians 2:5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
•The Mind of Christ, the Mind of God and the mind of the Holy Spirit are one and the same.
•Since we have the Mind of Christ we can think like Christ our Lord, we can think like God our Heavenly Father and we can think like the Holy Spirit.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be all of you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that all of you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
•When we got born again our minds became renewed as a part of our new creation( 2 Corinthians 5:17). The new program for our minds is the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit in us enables us to think in the beautiful and awesome Mind of Christ.
•You have no mental deficiencies. Your have the wonderful, righteous, holy and awesome a mind of Christ.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

What is LIFE without the LOVE of God?
•Walking in LOVE is the basis to praise, worship, answered prayers, healing, deliverance, breakthroughs, and for the manifested presence of God in our lives.
•God will not receive our praise and worship if we are not walking in His LOVE, and neither will we get the things we desire of Him, if we are not walking in His Love.
Psalm 66:18
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
Matthew 6:15
But if all of you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 5:24-24
Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has ought against you;
Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

A Word of Encouragement
1 Peter 4:8-11
8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
•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!

Ephesians 4:17-24
This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

You are Fully Completed in Christ
Colossians 2:10
And all of you are complete in Him (Christ Jesus), Who is the head of all principality and power.
•You may have come into this world with some deficiencies but Christ in you is the ALL Sufficient One.
•Don’t focus on your deficiencies but focus on Christ who is your Sufficiency.
•You mean everything to God, and you are not just a Child of God, but a close intimate friend, John 1:12; 15:15.
•God loves you with the Highest and most powerful form of love which is Himself because God is Love, 1 John :4.
•God didn’t let you die in your sin. He sent His Son Jesus to die for you instead. In God’s Eyes, Heart and Mind you are worth dying for.
•God’s love for you is beyond awesome.
•Take this message for the rest of the week and meditate on it. Do not be burdened with the things your going through. Give it all to your Loving Heavenly Father in prayer and He will see you through.
Our God is Faithful.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

“He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, And He will pay back what he has given”. (Proverbs 19:17 NKJV).

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:38 NKJV).

“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work”. (II Corinthians 9:7‭-‬8 NKJV).

We have more to give to others than we realized.
+Giving is not limited to monies and other material things.
+We can give Comfort, Hope,Prayers, Words of Encouragement, Visitations to other, and much more, but let all be done with the Love of Christ, and for the Glory of God.
1Corinthians 13:1-3
All that is done without LOVE is nothing and according to the Word of God, and it will not be counted by the Lord.
1John 3:18 v
My little children, let us not LOVE in word, neither in tongue; but in DEED and in TRUTH.
Colossians 3:17,23

17. And whatsoever all of you do in WORD or DEED, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.
18. And whatsoever all of you do, do it HEARTILY, as to the Lord, and not unto men.
    •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!

JESUS SHOULD BE FIRST IN YOUR LIFE…WHY ? BECAUSE, HE GAVE UP HIS LIFE FOR YOU.

“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”… (John 3:16‭-‬20 NKJV)

The Lord Jesus Christ comes BEFORE all and He is ABOVE all.
+They who love the Lord put Him BEFORE all things and ABOVE all things.
Colossians 1:17, 18
17) And He (Christ Jesus) is BEFORE all things…
18) …that in all things he might have the PREEMINENCE.
PREEMINENCE: Surpassing all others in all things.
Pre:- before
Eminence:- above and highest rank in superiority.
+Always KEEP Christ our Lord Before and Above everyone and everything.
+Remember Jesus is not Lord AT ALL IF He is not Lord OF ALL.
•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!

THE ONLY MESSIAH
“This is a true saying and everyone should believe it, Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and I was one of the worse of them all; But that is why God had mercy on me, so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of His great patience with even the worse sinners; then others will realize that they too, can believe in Him(Jesus) and receive eternal life (1 Timothy 1:15-16).Then John 3:16 tells us that ,God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to save us and not condemn us. 1 Timothy 2:4-6 confirms this by telling us;
“For He (Jesus) wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time.” Have a blessed day.

Reasons for Studying God’s Word
2Timothy 2:15
Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Matthew 4:4
Jesus answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
•Why study God’s Word?

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

Jeremiah 16:17-21 warns us,
“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 “.

But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’ Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’ Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it. And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’ “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
Matthew 23:13‭-‬39 NKJV

(Isaiah 55:11 AMP)
…My WORD goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void (without producing any effect or change) but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
+God’s Word has to do what He said it will do.
Titus 1:2 God cannot lie.
Matthew 4:4 Jesus said:
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
+God wants us to experience His Word everyday of our lives.
+We must give the Word of God the Highest Regard and Reverence. God and His Word are ONE.
+Disregard, Irreverence and lack of faith in God’s Word are the reasons why many do not experience the fulfillment of God’s Word in our lives.
