IF YOU DON’T LOVE ,AND TRUST GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND BE OBEDIENT TO HIS WORD. Why would you even think that you’re heaven bound. Hear what Jesus have to say  about it.

Are you living in and by Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness, and Faith to even consider going to heaven.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matthew 7:21-23 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).

” 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).

” Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.”( 2 Corinthians 13:5 NKJV).

”  Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;  for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”(2 Peter 1: 10-11 NKJV).

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.  If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.”(John 15:5-6 NKJV).

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” (Revelation 3:15-16 NKJV).

+ When it comes to our lives and what we do,!Jesus is not Lord AT ALL it He is not Lord OF ALL ( Lord of our lives and all that we do).
+ The proof of our salvation is in the demonstration of doing THE WILL (and obeying the commandments) of our Father who is in heaven.
+ THE WILL of God is found in the Word of God. The Holy Spirit always leads us in THE WILL of God.

” 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!

MATTHEW 17:20 KJV says:
And JESUS said unto them, “Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you. If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Then  Matthew 21:21-22 NKJV says:
” So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.  And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

William Penn said, “Patience and diligence, like faith, move mountains.”

A quote from Ruth Ann Schabacker, “Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons.”

Words from Mark Batterson, “I think faith is the small mustard seed of opportunities every day. For example, am I going to love this person? Am I going to share my faith with this person? Am I going to pray that little prayer? It really is a daily thing where you seize those little mustard seed opportunities and then see what God does.”

Our personal mountains are beginning to move. If your answered prayers are delayed; just remember we have an on time God, and He has a reason. As we walk with Jesus today look for opportunities to share your faith. Accept the Gift.

I John 5:14-15 NKJV also tells us :
” Now 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, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”

Father God, Thank You for answered and unanswered prayers. Lead, guide, and direct our steps as we faithfully follow You. In JESUS Name we pray. Amen.

” Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”[ Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV].

Ready for what ? For the coming of Christ, and to tell people who Jesus is, and what He did for us at Calvary. KEEP LOOKING.

” Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.  But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.  Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” ( Matthew 24: 42- 44 NKJV).

” But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.”(1 Thessalonians 5: 1-8 NKJV).

BE READY TO SPEAK.
” Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;  and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” ( 2 Timothy 4 : 2- 5 NKJV)

” but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:  having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.” (1 Peter 3:15- 16 NKJV).

” 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,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 KJV]

The  Abundant Life is for all believers of God ,who accept Jesus Christ ,His only begotten Son, as their personal Lord and Savior.

“And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” ( Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV).

” For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You! “( Psalms 84: 11-12 NKJV).

” The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.”( Proverbs 10:22 NKJV).

JESUS SAID IN : John 10:10 NKJV
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it  MORE ABUNDANTLY.”

REMEMBER ” Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” ( Galatians 3:13-14 NKJV).

+ In regards to the ABUNDANT BLESSINGS of God in our lives;  we need to know what we have, and the privileges at our disposal,through Christ Jesus.

” 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,  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.”( 2 Peter 1:3-4 NKJV).

+ Abraham was abundantly blessed.
+ Job was abundantly blessed.
+ And so are we abundantly blessed in Christ and by Christ Jesus.

3 John 1:2 NKJV says:
” Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

” 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].

How Much Do We Really Love the Lord our God?
Mark 12:30
And you shall love the Lord your God with all of your HEART, and with all of your SOUL, and with all of your MIND, and with all of your STRENGTH…

1. Your HEART is you in spirit. Your spirit person in your body.
2. Your SOUL is where you have your conscience and affection.
3. Your MIND is where you have your thoughts, reasonings and memories.
4. Your STRENGTH is the power you possess.
   •We must exercise love to the Lord and for the Lord at all times.
   Colossians 3:23
   And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord…
   •How often do you tell the Lord you love Him? Or when was the last time you told the Lord you love Him?
   •We tell everyone else we love them and we do it several times a day. Well how about the Lord?
   •Lets us make it a habit to tell the Lord everyday and several times a day that you love Him.
   +++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the Glory. Amen!

As a believer you must  know that Our God is the God of ALL Possibilities.

Genesis 18:13-14 NKJV says:
And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’  IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” (Genesis 18:13-14 NKJV ).

What if this is the Lord’s question to you regarding your present situation, what would your answer be? Hopefully you will answer like Job’s.  Then Job answered the Lord and said:  “I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.”( Job 42:1-2 NKJV). Or your response would be: ” Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,..” ( Ephesians 3:20 NKJV).

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; FOR WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.” (Mark 10: 27 NKJV).

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

● So I say unto you be encouraged and stay encourage with these Scriptures.

” 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).

” Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm.  For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.” ( Psalms 37:7-9 NKJV).

● Your situation may be difficult and challenging, but it is not impossible.
● There is nothing too hard for the Lord.

” But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” ( Hebrews 11: 6 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 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!

Only Fear (Reverence) God
Joshua 1:9
Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you anywhere you go.
2Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
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.
1Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
-When you fear (Reverence) God the enemy (satan) and his entire team become afraid of you.
-There is no lack to them that fear the Lord, Psalm 34:9.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Do you pray for others, as much as you pray for yourself  .

Pray For One Another
+Do we pray more for things than we pray for one another?
+Do we wait for others to call us with a problem before we pray for them?
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER, THAT ALL OF YOU MAY BE HEALED. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
EMPHASIS:
A. PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER…
B. THAT ALL OF YOU MAY BE HEALED… (Please note that we also receive HEALING when we pray for one another).

In Luke 18:1 (Jesus said)
…that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.

Ephesians 6:18 KJVS
Praying always with all prayers and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

JESUS PRAYED FOR US:

In John 17:20-26 NKJV HE SAID:
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; [21] that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. [22] And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: [23] I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. [24] “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. [25] O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. [26] And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

+For the Love of our Lord, for our continued Victory let us remember one another in our prayers. Amen!

Psalms 140:1-13 says :
” Deliver me, O Lord , from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah. Keep me, O Lord , from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. I said unto the Lord , Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord . O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. Grant not, O Lord , the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.”

•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!!!

” 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].

Refrain From Arguments

” Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.”( Proverbs 26:4-5 NKJV).

” If a wise man contends with a foolish man, Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.  The bloodthirsty hate the blameless, But the upright seek his well-being.  A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.:(Proverbs 29:9-11 NKJV).

” But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,  in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,  and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.”(2 Timothy 2:23-26 NKJV).

● When you are right you don’t necessarily have to argue.
● If you are right (by God’s standards) you are right, why argue?
● No one can be right without the truth.
● No one has the power to permanently hide the truth. The truth will always come out and will always prevails.
● It is knowing the truth with the exercise and application of wisdom that prevents arguments. In other words getting your facts straight.

” 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.”(1 Corinthians 2:1-16 NKJV).

” Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.  This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.” (James 3:13-18 NKJV).

FINALLY: ” For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,  that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”[ Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV].

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