FORGET THE PAST. AND MOVE FORWARD.

“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.
You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings, Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings, Nor wearied you with incense.  You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, Nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices; But you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.  “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.  Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted. ” [Isaiah  43 : 18-19,23-26 NKJV.

“Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.  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 5:16-21 NKJV).

“Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.  Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,  I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 3: 12-14 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 : 24-25 NKJV].

IGNORANCE

Hosea 4:6 NKJV
[6] My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

IGNORANCE IS A LIABILITY THAT LIMITS OR CRIPPLE YOUR SUPERNATURAL GOD GIVEN ABILITY TO FUNCTION IN THE SUPERNATURAL REALM OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

II Peter 1:2-11 NKJV
[2] Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, [3] as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, [4] by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. [5] But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, [6] to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, [7] to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. [8] For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. [10] Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; [11] for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

James 1:5-8 NKJV
[5] 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. [6] 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. [7] For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; [8] he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

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.

OUR DAILY FOOD. THE WORD OF GOD.

Psalms 34:6-10 NKJV
[6] This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. [7] The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. [8] Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! [9] Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. [10] The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

Psalms 119:103 NKJV
[103] How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

The Word of God is our Spiritual Diet.
+But the Word of God is our Spiritual diet from Earth to Heaven and for all Eternity.
+Many of us are so excited about delicious tasting natural foods that we highly recommend restaurants and natural foods to one another.
+Well how about the highly recommended Word of God for Spiritual Foods???
In Matthew 4:4 Jesus said:
Man shall not live by BREAD (natural foods) alone, but by EVERY WORD (Spiritual Food) that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
Also in John 14:23Jesus also said:
If anyone [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey and practice My teaching]…
+The more we live by the Word of God (our Spiritual Food) the more we will experience God in our personal lives.
+We will also get to know Him more by His Personality, His Character, His Word, the Holy Spirit and His Son. Amen!

Finally II Timothy 3:14-17 NKJV says :
[14] But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, [15] and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, [17] that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.


•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.

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 we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

THE WORD

Joshua 1:7-9 NKJV
[7] Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. [8] This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. [9] 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.”

Study God’s Word to be wise.
(Hebrews 5:12-14 AMP)
For even though by this time you ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach you over again the very first principles of God’s Word. You have come to need milk, not solid food. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action), for he is a mere infant [not able to talk yet]!
But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.
•Ignorance to God’s Word is a liability and disadvantageous.
•The Word of God is the manual to live the life of God. As food is to your physical body so is the Word of God to your life, spirit, soul and mind.
•Make God’s Word your daily study.


Hosea 4:6 says :
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge…
Proverb 15:5
A fool despises (hates) his father’s instruction…
•God is our Heavenly Father, and the Bible His Holy Word is His instructions to us.
•When we DO NOT study God’s Word we are indirectly despising, hating and rejecting our Heavenly Father’s instructions.
•Studying the Word of God is not a suggestion or option. It’s a commandment that we obey out of love for the Lord.
Jesus said in John 14:15 If all of you love me, keep my commandments, and in Luke 6:46 He also said “why all of you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
•Continue to make God’s Word your daily study.

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!

LIVING

Living Troubled Free
2 Corinthians 4:8 KJV
We are troubled on every side…
+Without God in our lives we are in some form of trouble.
+Some of us know this, and others are just simply are ignorant of this fact.
+We need God to get out of troubles and stay out of troubles.
+We can always get ourselves in more troubles than we are able to get out of on our own.
+We need God’s WISDOM, STRENGTH and GUIDANCE to deal with troubles.
Psalm 34:17 (AMP)
When the righteous cry [for help], the LORD hears And rescues them from all their distresses and troubles.
1 Peter 5:7 AMP
casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].
•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 STRONG 💪IN THE LORD.

Jesus said in Luke 10:19 NKJV :
[19] 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.

Ephesians 6:10
…be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
•Our strength is always in the Lord.
•Anyone that is strong in their own strength is dangerous to themselves and to others.
Psalms 27:1
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?
•When we realize that the Lord is our strength, and the strength of our lives, and the strength by which we live, we will live life without fears.
•In 1 Samuel 17, David faced Goliath and took him on in the Name of the Lord of Hosts. David didn’t look at the giant size nor the difference between he and Goliath to determine his victory. David didn’t look at the strength difference between he and Goliath to determine his victory. David knew the Lord was the strength of his life, and the Lord guarantees his victory.
•Likewise the Lord is your Strength of your life, and He guarantees your Victory. So walk victorious in the Lord.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

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.

GOD OF ALL COMFORT

God wants us to be COMFORTABLE
+God does not want us restless, uneasy, or uncomfortable.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 says this :
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all COMFORT;
4 Who COMFORTS us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to COMFORT them who are in any trouble, by the COMFORT with which we ourselves are COMFORTED of God.
COMFORT: to remove grief, pain, and troubles and to give strength, hope, and love.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 says:
Therefore, COMFORT yourselves together and edify one another, even as you do.
+There is no COMFORT like the COMFORT of God. That is the COMFORT that God Himself gives.
+May you continue to be COMFORTED with the COMFORT of God, and may you COMFORT others with the same COMFORT.
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!

DON’T LOOK BACK

Let go of the past,don’t allow it to steal your future progress. Don’t allow it to make you bitter and angry.

Ecclesiastes 7:9-10 NKJV says it best:
” Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools.  Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

+We can not move forward in life with things that are supposed to be left behind. The main reason why we should forget past hurts and abuse is  because God has a way of working things out for good.

Genesis 50:19-21 NKJV is a perfect example of that :[19] Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? [20] But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. [21] Now, therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

The Apostle, puts it thisway: ” Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.  Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3: 12-14 NKJV).

Therefore,”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.” (Romans 12 : 9- 19 NKJV).

” But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 15:57-58  NKJV).

+It’s time to let go of the hindrances of the past that have been holding us back and keep moving forward in the Lord.
Let’s do as  1 Peter 5:7-10 AMPC says:
[7] Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. [Ps. 55:22.] [8] Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. [9] Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset–rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world. [10] And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.

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!

VICTORIOUS CONQUERORS

1 Corinthians 15:57 says :
But thanks be to God, who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
•In Christ Jesus, you are never without victory. You have the victory all the time. When challenges come your way, you should not be looking to get the victory. All you have to do is exercise the victory you already have through Christ Jesus. Amen!
Romans 8:37
Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loves us.
•you are more than a conqueror, and you already have the victory. Just function like and get used to it. This is where 1 Timothy 6:12 comes in. Fight the good fight of faith…
•Again you are not fighting the good fight of faith to get a victory. It’s a good fight because victory is already yours before the fight, during the fight, and after the fight. Yes! You are more than a conqueror through Christ our Lord.
Jesus said in Luke 10:19  :
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

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

GOD OF ALL COMFORT

God wants us to be COMFORTABLE
+God does not want us Restless, Uneasy or Uncomfortable.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all COMFORT;
4 Who COMFORTS us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to COMFORT them who are in any trouble, by the COMFORT with which we ourselves are COMFORTED of God.
COMFORT: to remove grief, pain and troubles and to give strength, hope and love.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore COMFORT yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do.
+There is no COMFORT like the COMFORT of God. That is the COMFORT that God Himself gives.
+May you continue to be COMFORTED with the COMFORT of God, and may you COMFORT others with the same COMFORT.
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.
