LOVE AND CORRECTION

“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.  For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.  He shall deliver you in six troubles, Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.  In famine He shall redeem you from death, And in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.  You shall laugh at destruction and famine, And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.”(Job 5 : 17-22 NKJV).

“Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law, That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked. For the Lord will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.  But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it. Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the Lord had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence.  If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.  In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.”(Psalms 94:12-19 NKJV).

“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction;  For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.”(Proverb 3:11-12 NKJV).

“He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.  Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.  Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you.  If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”(Proverbs 9: 7-12 NKJV).

” Open rebuke is better Than love carefully concealed.” (Proverb 27:5 NKJV).

” For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”  If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?  But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.  Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?  For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.  Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”(Hebrews 12:6-11 NKJV).

-Continue to be wise, disciplined and mature when receiving the corrections, rebukes and chastening of the Lord. Its for our betterment and, His loves towards us.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to Jesus be all the glory. Amen

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, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude 1:24-25 NKJV]

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” [Revelation 3:19-20 NKJV]

THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES,FOR DENYING GOD.

“Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord!  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.”So the people answered and said: “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods;  for the Lord our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed.

And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We also will serve the Lord, for He is our God.”  But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve the Lord, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.  If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you, after He has done you good.”(Joshua 24:14-20 NKJV)

WHEN YOU DENY GOD,HE WILL DENY YOU.

“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.  But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”(Matthew 10:32-33 NKJV)

” When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.  For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”( Mark 8: 34-38 NKJV)

Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:  ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.  And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”( Matthew 15: 7-9 NKJV)

” And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,  knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.”(Colossians 3: 23-25 NKJV)

“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, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1:24- 25 NKJV].

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standèard 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!

COME OUT FROM AMONGST THEM.

” 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 perish.” ( Psalms 1:1-6 NKJV).

” Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,  nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.”(1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 NKJV).

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?  And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?  And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”  Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”(2 Corinthians 6:14-18 NKJV).

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” ( 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 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.”( Romans 12:1-2 NKJV).

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, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude 1:24-25 NKJV]

WAITING ON GOD

Waiting upon the Lord is never in VAIN.
+Are we ready and equipped for the things that are waiting for us from God???

As I Corinthians 2:9 NKJV says:
“But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”


Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
+Many times there are conditions we need to meet in order to get God’s blessings.
+What God does in us while we wait upon Him sometimes it is more important than the things we asked for.
+We need Growth, Development, Equipping, Preparation and Maturation.
+This is needed to be Good Stewards of THINGS we waiting for from God.

” I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.  Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! “( Psalm 27: 13-14 NKJV).


+It’s worth the wait. Don’t quit, and you will not be disappointed. Amen!

+Whenever we wait upon the Lord Patience and Long-suffering must be exercised.
Patience and Long-suffering: the capacity to accept and tolerate delay, trouble, persecutions, sufferings and such like things without getting angry or upset, but instead we deal with the situation gracefully in the Lord and in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.
+This is not something we can do on our own. We need the help of God.
Philippians 4:13 KJVS


I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
Philippians 2:13 KJVS
For it is God Who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
+God is working in you, in your life and circumstances.
Romans 8:28 KJVS
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. 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!

GOD STRONG

You are Strong and Victorious
+Think about all the struggles that you have gone through, and yet you are still here and going strong for Jesus.
+You have made it this far, and you will continue to make it all the way.
+Giving up is not in you. So therefore giving up is not an option.
+You are a WINNER, and Winners never quit.
+God is with you and He is seeing you all the way through.

In Joshua 1:9 NKJV God says:
” 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.”

Then Psalms 27:1 NKJV says this:
“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?”

Then in Romans,we read : ” 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 8:31-39 NKJV).

” Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” ( 2 Corinthians 12: 8-10 NKJV).

” You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”(1 John 4:4 NKJV).

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”(1Corinthians 15:57 NKJV)

+Hallelujahs to Jesus?

” 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, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

•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!

GOD HEARS YOUR PRAYERS.

TAKE YOUR PROBLEMS AND ISSUES TO THE LORD, HE CAN MOVE QUICKER THAN THE GOVERNMENT, THE AUTHORITIES, PASTOR ,FAMILY AND FRIENDS. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM DICTATES HOW FAST HE ANSWERS.

STOP RUNNING TO PEOPLE AND RUN TO JESUS: “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,..”(1 Timothy 2 :5 NKJV).

Prayers go where you cannot go,do what you cannot do, and give God access to move on your behalf. He tells us to : ” casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”(1 Peter 5:7 NKJV).

” If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.”(2 Chronicles 7: 14-15 NKJV).

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

“You will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.”( Jeremiah 29:12 )

In Philippians 4:6-8 NKJV He says :
” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; [7] and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [8] Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

” pray without ceasing,  in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”(1 Thessalonians 5: 17-18 NKJV).

” Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 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.  Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:14-16 NKJV).

“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,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

GOOD

HAVE YOU EVER USED THE PHRASE “That’s GOOD”?
+Why was it GOOD?
+What makes anything GOOD?
+What are God’s Standards of GOOD?
Psalm 118:1
O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is GOOD…


+GOODNESS is of the Lord. For the Lord is GOOD.
+Nothing is GOOD unless it meets God’s Standards of GOOD which is in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith.
+Some byproducts of God’s GOODNESS are Bountiful Favors, Graciousness, Joyfulness, Kindness, Prosperity, Wealth, Health, Protection, and the list goes on.
+Remember what the Lord said concerning us in

+The only way that you can overcome evil is with good, and it’s the best way in the world to release joy and experience complete healing in your life. God’s got good plans for your life so don’t waste your time sitting around hating somebody over something that you can’t do anything about.
Psalm 23:6
Surely GOODNESS (His Goodness) and Mercy (His Mercy) shall follow us all the days of our lives… Hallelujahs to Jesus!
+I pray that we will always experience God’s Goodness every day for the rest of our lives. In Jesus Name. Amen!
+You Got it, Going, God GOOD. So have a Good Day.

Romans 7:16-20 NKJV
[16] If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. [17] But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. [18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. [19] For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. [20] Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

Galatians 6:9-10 NKJV
[9] And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. [10] Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

REMEMBER what,James 1:16-17 NKJV says :
Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. [17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

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!

WALK IN THE SPIRIT

” The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.” (Isaiah 11:2 NKJV).

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”( Luke 4: 18-19 NKJV).

” 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.”( Romans 8: 9-17 NKJV).

“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.  But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,  idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,  envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.  And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”(Galatians 5:16 -26 NKJV)

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, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

REMEMBER NOTHING is impossible for God.
Genesis 18:13-14
And the LORD said unto Abraham…
Is any thing too hard for the LORD?…
-If this is the Lord’s question to you regarding your present problem, what would your answer be?

Jeremiah 32:27 NKJV
[27] “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?

Mark 9:23 NKJV
[23] Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

Mark 10:27 NKJV
[27] But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

Luke 18:27 NKJV
[27] But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

-So I say unto you be encouraged and stay encouraged.
Psalm 37:7-8
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself…
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any way…
-There is nothing that is too hard for the Lord.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to Jesus be all the glory. Amen!

Jude 1:24-25 KJV
[24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, [25] to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

FREED BY JESUS.

Jesus gives you Freedom,and only in Christ you are completely free from sin,and shame.

“.. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”  Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.  And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”( John 8: 32-36 NKJV).


•To know Jesus is to know Truth Personified.
•To know Truth Personified is to be set free.
•Jesus is the Person of Truth, and the Word of God is the Word of Truth.
•Jesus sets you free and the Word of God keeps you Free when you live by it.
•Freedom in Christ sets you up for complete deliverance in your spirit, soul, mind and body.
•Freedom in Christ makes you Bold, Courageous, Strong, Secure, and Wise, etc.

” 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 NKJV).

” 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, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

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