LISTEN

“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. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”(John 3:16‭-‬21 NKJV).

THAT’S THE GOODS NEWS,Now here’s the bad news:

“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. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s”. (I Corinthians 6:9‭-‬11‭, ‬15‭, ‬17‭-‬20 NKJV).

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation”. (Hebrews 9:27‭-‬28 NKJV).

“The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever”. ( Revelation 20:10 NKJV).

All Decisions are Important
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live:
-Our lives are composed of your choices.
-A decision is not made in a moment of time it is already rooted in your character and experiences.
-Be wise in making decisions. All decisions can become habits, and all habits can become your character.
-Choose not what you want but what God has already chosen for you:
-Choose Jesus not satan.
-Choose life not death.
-Choose blessing not cursing.
-Choose health not sickness.
-Choose riches not poverty.
-Choose victory not defeat.
-Choose the Kingdom not the world.
-For an extended list of things to choose please consult with your Holy Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

KNOW THE TRUTH

People  like to take credit for teaching  you things,failing to realize  that they are just an instrument  of God. But the truth is that,any advice  or opinion,that’s   contrary  to,or contradict God’s   word is a lie.

Jesus  said:

” But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you”. (John 14:26 NKJV).

THE TRUTH  IS:

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And MY  SPEECH  AND  MY  PREACHING  WERE  NOT  WITH  PERSUASIVE  WORDS  OF  HUMAN  WISDOM, BUT  IN  DEMONSTRATION  OF  THE  SPIRIT  AND  OF  POWER, THAT  YOUR  FAITH  SHOULD  NOT  BE  IN  THE  WISDOM  OF  MEN  BUT  IN  THE  POWER  OF  GOD. However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 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.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ”. (I Corinthians 2:1‭-‬16 NKJV).

“IF  ANY  OF  YOU  LACKS  WISDOM, LET  HIM  ASK  OF  GOD, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he  is  a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways”. ( James 1:5‭-‬8 NKJV).

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are  called.  But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord .”(I Corinthians 1:18‭-‬31 NKJV).

FINALLY

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, MAY  GIVE  TO  YOU  THE  SPIRIT  OF  WISDOM  AND  REVELATION  IN  THE  KNOWLEDGE  OF  HIM, THE  EYES  OF  YOUR  UNDERSTANDING  BEING  ENLIGHTENED; THAT  YOU  MAY  KNOW  WHAT  IS  THE  HOPE  OF  HIS  CALLING, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power..”. (Ephesians 1:15‭-‬19 NKJV).

LET GO,AND LET GOD

Just a reminder:GOD SAID…

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord . “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”《Isaiah 55:8-9》.

“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).

“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).

It’s Time to Trust in the Lord with our all.
+Let’s not just take our trust in Him to the next level.
+How about trusting God to the FULLEST, ALL-OUT and MAXIMUM CAPACITY of our HEARTS?
+First let’s get this straight. When we FULLY trust God with all our hearts there is no room left over in our hearts for doubt and unbelief. AMEN!
Proverb 3:5
TRUST is the Lord with ALL you HEART…
+What does Trust in the Lord Means?
1. It means that you have gotten a place where we FULLY KNOW that God is Trustworthy, Reliable and Dependable.
2. It means that we have gotten to a place where you FULLY KNOW that God Keeps, Fulfills and Watches over His Word to perform it.
It’s Time to Boost our Trust in the Lord!
+Now that we are trusting God to the FULLEST, ALL-OUT and MAXIMUM CAPACITY of our hearts let’s take a good look at what it means to BELIEVE in God.
Mark 9:24
And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help my unbelief.
BELIEVE: to accept as TRUTH and to be CONVICTED in our hearts by the TRUTH.
BELIEVE also means to fully agree with and to accept as real fact or evidence.
+This is what it means to BELIEVE in God and His Word.
Romans 4:18-21
18 Abraham against hope BELIEVED in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall your seed be.
19 And being not WEAK IN FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
20 Abraham STAGGERED NOT at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God;
21 And BEING FULLY PERSUADED that, what GOD had promised, HE GOD was able also to perform.
Hallelujahs to Jesus!!!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!!!

YOUR CHOICE

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, than he that is in the world”.(1 John 4:1‭-‬4 KJV).

“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:”.(James 1:12‭-‬15‭, ‬17‭-‬23 KJV).

REMEMBER,YOU ARE NEVER WITHOUT THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD
Psalm 27:1
…the LORD is the STRENGTH of your life…
+How Strong is our Lord? Our Lord is Omnipotently Strong.
Omnipotent: the unlimited, inexhaustible and supernatural miracle working, power of God.
+God is in us by His Holy Spirit, and it is through His Holy Spirit that we are connected and we experience His Omnipotent Power.
+Psalm 27:1
…the Lord is the STRENGTH of our lives.
Ephesians 6:10
…be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of His MIGHT.
+And know Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ who STRENGTHENS us.
+We are never without the strength of the Lord.
+With God’s STRENGTH we are God STEONG.
Hallelujah! 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!

BE KIND

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.
{Romans 12:10-13}.

PERFECTED by God’s LOVE
1 John 2:5
But whoever keeps His Word, truly the LOVE of God is PERFECTED in him…
1 John 4:12
…If we LOVE one another, God abides in us, and His LOVE has been PERFECTED in us.
Perfected: to make perfect and complete; to accomplish.

A new commandment I give to you, that you LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you…
+God LOVE in us makes us PERFECT and COMPLETE, and equipped to ACCOMPLISH His Perfect Will.
+God’s LOVE never fails, and His LOVE can never fail because God is LOVE. Hallelujah!!!
•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!

PRAY WITH CONFIDENCE

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive”.(Matthew 21:21‭-‬22 KJV).

Pray in Confidence
+In Daniel Ch-10, Daniel fasted and prayed, and after 21 days an Angel of the Lord appeared unto him and said:
Daniel 10:12
…Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to chasten yourself before your God (in prayer), your words were heard, and I am come for your words.
+Daniel’s prayer was INSTANTLY heard, and answered by God.
+Please notice that though the prayer was INSTANTLY answered Daniel did not experienced the answer until 21 days later.

Hebrews 10:35-36 says,
Cast not away therefore your CONFIDENCE, which has great recompense of reward.
For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.

HOWEVER ,1 John 5:14-15 tells us,
And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we KNOW that we have the requests that we desired of him.
Principles of Prayers:
1. Make sure you have Faith, Trust and Confidence in God before you pray.
2. Prayers go where we cannot go.
3. Prayers do what we cannot do.
4. Prayers give God access to the situations.
5. Whatever we pray according to God’s will He hears us and He answers us.

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways”.(James 1:6‭-‬8 KJV).
•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!

BE FREE

“Stay Out of BONDAGE and Live FREE in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed.
+Many of us are not being used by God because we are under the CONTROL of men and other things.
+I️ didn’t say because we are under the LEADERSHIP of man.
+We can be under the LEADERSHIP on men, and NOT be under their CONTROL, and on the flip side we be under the LEADERSHIP and CONTROL of men at the same time.
2 Corinthians 3:17
….where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY (FREEDOM).
Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the LIBERTY with which Christ has made us FREE, and be not entangled again with the yoke of BONDAGE.
•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!

WAIT ON GOD

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord , The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint”. (Isaiah 40:28‭-‬31 NKJV).

“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 !(Psalms 27:13‭-‬14 NKJV).

“My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah(Psalms 62:5‭-‬8 NKJV).

Don’t Give Up On God, His Word, NOR His Promises .
+Many of us have been waiting PATIENTLY for PROMISES of God to materialize or manifest in our lives, but why are the promises taking so long.
+The promises of God are First Spiritual, and they are already given to us.
Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED us with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ:
2 Peter 1:3
According as his divine power hath given unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
+We MUST REALIZE that God has already given us His BLESSINGS.
+By FAITH we must DECLARE that we have the BLESSINGS and thank Him for it.
Job 22:28
You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established for you…
Mark 11:23-24
…you shall have whatsoever you SAY.

BECAUSE…
+Our God is Eternally Faithful to His Word, and to the fulfillment of all His promises.
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
+God’s Promises in His Word are sent to us. Once we receive the Word of God with Faith it will not return to God Void, but it will accomplish and establish the Promises of God in our lives. Hallelujah!
•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!

WHAT’S  YOUR PLAN ,HEAVEN OR HELL?

“And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”(Luke 12:15‭-‬21 NKJV).

“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin”. (James 4:13‭-‬17 NKJV).

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation”. (Hebrews 9:27‭-‬28 NKJV).

Do you really think you have time. “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;(Ecclesiastes 3:1‭-‬2 NKJV).

“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”(Hebrews 3:12‭-‬15 NKJV).

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death”.(Revelation 21:1‭-‬8 KJV).
