DENY SELF

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

Matthew 16:24-27 NKJV
[24] Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. [25] For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. [26] For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? [27] For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

Romans 12:1-21 NKJV
[1] 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. [2] 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. [3] For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. [4] For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, [5] so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. [6] Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; [7] or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; [8] he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. [9] Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. [10] Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; [11] not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; [12] rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; [13] distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. [14] Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. [15] Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. [16] 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. [17] Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. [18] If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. [19] Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. [20] 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.” [21] Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.


Colossians 3:5-10
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,

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

FREE FROM SIN

Deliverance and Freedom
+Whatever we need victory over we must first be delivered from it.
+Deliverance precedes VICTORY.
Colossians 1:13
(God our Father) Who has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
+When we are completely delivered from something it no longer has any negative impact on us at all.
John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
+In Christ we are Totally and Completely delivered (set free) in our spirits, souls and bodies.
+Please do not let bad memories hold you in bondage.
+We are no longer victims. Think of the victor we are in Christ Jesus our Lord and be blessed forevermore. Amen!
•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 we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

YOU CAN’T SERVE TWO MASTER.

Joshua 24:15-16 NKJV
[15] And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” [16] So the people answered and said: “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods;

Psalms 100:2-4 NKJV
[2] Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. [3] Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. [4] Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

Matthew 6:24 NKJV
[24] “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

John 4:22-24 NKJV
[22] You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. [23] But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. [24] God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Serving the Lord is highly rewarding, and we serve Him out of love and for rewards.
In Mark 10:29-30 Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, sake. But he shall receive an hundredfold NOW in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.


Revelation 3:21
To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am sat down with my Father in his throne.
In Christ you are a victorious over comer. Think about this.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.


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

How should we treat others?

1 Should we treat others the way they are?

2 Should we treat others the way we are?

3 Should we treat others the way God (Christ) is?

Why this way? So they can experience God and not us.

4 When we treat others the way God does (that is in Christlikeness) they will experience Christ through us…

+We will see them just like God sees them.
+We will know them just like God knows them.
+They will see themselves the way they really are, and see themselves the way they should be.

+Even on the Home Front:
Ephesians 5:25 KJVS

+In other words husbands love (treat) your wives like Christ love and treats the Church.

1 John 4:7-11 KJVS
[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.
[8] He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
[9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
[10] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
[11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

1 John 4:7-11 AMP
[7] Beloved, let us [unselfishly] (without the Big-5 of Self) love and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves [others] is born of God and knows God [through personal experience].
[8] The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.]
[9] By this the love of God was displayed in us, in that God has sent His [One and] only begotten Son [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind] into the world so that we might live through Him.
[10] In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath].
[11] Beloved, if God so loved us [in this incredible way], we also ought to love one another.

[25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
+We must be crucified before we can live the sacrificed life.
+Life and everything must be all about Jesus.
+The solution of the Big-5 of Self is the Cross.
+If a man of God cannot accept being crucified (put to death) he cannot bear the Fruit of the Spirit.

NO MORE FEAR

Power over Fear
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us the SPIRIT of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND.
1 John 4:18
There is no FEAR in LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE casts out FEAR: because FEAR has torment. He that FEARS is not made PERFECT in LOVE.
+Natural Fear is to be afraid of natural things such as heights, the dark, a fierce animal, or being alone, etc.
+The spirit of fear or (demonic fear) is actually an evil spirit. +This evil spirit uses anything it can to torment, worry and stress people with fear, and to the point of breaking them down mentally and emotionally and physically.
+The solution for the spirit of fear is the Holy Spirit Who brings to us Love , Power, a Sound Mind, the Comfort and Peace of God.
+I Pray that all FEARS are gone from our lives for good. In the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ! Amen and Hallelujah!!!

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV

BLESSED

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!

ANSWERED PRAYERS THROUGH LOVE.

GOD IS LOVE. 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,prayers,and worship if we are not walking in His LOVE,His truth,His Holiness,His righteousness,His faith,and neither will we get the things we desire of Him, if we are not walking in them.

” If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me! “( Psalms 66:18-20 NKJV).

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.  But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,  so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” ( Matthew 6:14-18 NKJV).

Then Matthew 5:24-24 says :
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.

James 5:15-16 NKJV
[15] And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. [16] 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.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. 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!

+Those who live for self need to examine their Salvation.
+Those who live for God demonstrate His Salvation.
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST LIVES IN ME…
Acts 17:28
For in Him (Christ Jesus) we LIVE, and MOVE, and HAVE our BEING…
Philippians 2:13
For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
+When we are living for God it is never about what we think, say, what we feel or what we do, but instead it’s all about the will of God and what pleases Him.
Luke 22:42 Jesus Said to the Father…
…not my will, but Your Will, be done.
+So we say like Jesus not my will, but Heavenly Father Your Will be done.
