Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6 NKJV).
Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”.Man’s preconceptions of God always prevent him from having the right relationship with God. However,When it comes to God, It is NEVER about what we think of Him. It is always about what God says of Himself. We must all learn to accept God for Who He is and not for who we want Him to be or how we want Him to be.
“….that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now, in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
For through Him, we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2: 12-22 NKJV).
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13 NKJV). Matthew 6:33 says,to seek Him first.. HAVE YOU SEEK HIM? Have a blessed day.
“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]
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? (Numbers 23:19 NKJV).
“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.”(2 Corinthians 1:20-22 NKJV).
” Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 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. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 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. For this reason, I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.”( 2 Peter 1:2-12 NKJV).
” let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” ( Hebrews 10:22-23 NKJV).
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear What man shall do unto me.” ( Hebrews 13:5-6 KJV ).
” Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” ( 3 John 1:2 KJV).
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”( 2 Peter 3:9 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].
The Word Mixed with Faith will move mountains. Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being MIXED WITH FAITH in them that heard it. Hebrews 6:12 That all of you be not slothful, but followers of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises. Romans 10:8 …the Word of God is the Word of Faith… +This means the Word works by Faith. •When the WORD of God is mixed with faith in us, and we exercise patience while maintaining our FAITH, it is then we will obtain the PROMISES of God. Amen! Mark 11:22 22 And Jesus answering says unto them, Have faith in God. Hallelujahs to Jesus! •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!
Hebrews 11:1, 6 NKJV [1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [6] 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.
With faith we rule over the devil 1. Faith is a conduit for the power of GOD to flow thru it. 2. Faith activates the power of GOD 3. Faith attracts the power of GOD 4. Where Faith is demonstrated the Power of GOD will flow, to do miracles, signs, wonders, healing and deliverance. 5. The Power of GOD responds to faith automatically 6. That dumb devil can not attack the Power of GOD 7. Your Faith is a detriment to the devil 8. Faith puts demand on the Power of GOD. When you flip the switch 9. The Power of GOD will never say no to your faith 10. Faith automatically gets GOD’s attention 11. Faith gives you a direct connection to the Power of GOD 12. Faith sees the end from the beginning (the light bulb explanation of faith)
When GOD said, “Let there be light, there was light,”
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.

No matter what’s happening in the world, children of God. Don’t be discouraged,just remember this:
” There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
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? “(Romans 8:1,31-35 NKJV).
We must Keep Ourselves Encouraged in the Lord,like King David, and the Apostle Paul,did in there time on the earth.
” Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. So David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.” (1 Samuel 30:6-8 NKJV).
” And when they had come to him, he said to them: “You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you, serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews; how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. BUT NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME; NOR DO I COUNT MY LIFE DEAR TO MYSELF, SO THAT I MAY FINISH MY RACE WITH JOY, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” (Acts 20:18-24 NKJV)
+Encouragement produces Empowerment and Empowerment Equips us for Victory. +Wherever we need to make a change in life for the better we must do so without hesitation. +When change is necessary not to change is destructive. +We must change while we can and while we have time. Philippians 4:13 KJVS We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. Philippians 2:13 KJVS For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. •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!
“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].
TIME FOR A CHANGE -Change always takes place in the spirit before it takes place in the natural. -You are doing all the right things. You are making the sacrifice, walking in love and keeping the FAITH, and it seems like things are not getting any better.
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”(2 Corinthians 3:18 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).
-What do we do in times like these? Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. -The process takes more work and time in the natural than it does in the spirit. -Improvement starts in the spirit and then manifest in the natural. Hebrews 10:35-36 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompence of reward. For all of you have need of patience, that, after all of you have done the will of God, all of you might receive the promise.
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 Jesus be all the glory. Amen!
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”(Luke 12:32 NKJV).
God’s Pleasure Revelation 4:11 You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for you have created all things, and for your PLEASURE they are and were created. PLEASURE: to be pleased, satisfied and gratified with joy and happiness. •Is God getting pleasure from the life that we are living for Him? •How does God get pleasure from the life we live? 1. Mark 12:30 Love God with all your Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength. 2. Proverb 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and Mark 11:22 have faith in God. 3. Study and meditate God’s Word day and night. 4. Giving God meaningful Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship. 5. Obey every Word of God by living by every Word of God in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith. •For an inexhaustible list on how to live the life that gives God pleasure in every way you may consult your Holy Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Amen!
” Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” (3 John 1:2-4 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!
“in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” I Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) Are you giving thanks in every circumstance? This might seem like a stretch at first, especially when you are going through a season of difficulty. But notice today’s verse doesn’t say to give thanks “for” everything, it says give thanks “in” everything. In other words, no matter what’s going on, find something to be thankful for. Don’t just focus on what’s wrong in your life; focus on what God will do in your life. When you are thankful, it opens the door for God to move on your behalf. That’s why it says “this is God’s will for you.” He wants you to be close to Him to receive His strength and power by giving thanks. That’s why we should always have the attitude that says, “God, in spite of what’s happened, I choose to be grateful. I may be sick, but Father, thank You for being my healer. Thank you for giving me great friends and family.”
A Blessed and Wonderful Thanksgiving Day to you and your family. +May the PRESENCE of our Lord be at your table and may He be your Honored Guest.
May your time with family and friends be graced with His Love, Joy, Peace, Unity and More… Psalms 136:1 O GIVE THANKS unto the LORD; for he is GOOD…
2 Corinthians 2:14 Now THANKS be unto God, Who always causes us to triumph in Christ…
Ephesians 5:20 Giving THANKS always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ…
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give THANKS: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
+Happy Thanksgiving Day+
•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!
In order to remain totally and completely delivered and free from our sins, we must understand the definition of these two words.
Remorse – deep regret or guilt for a wrong (sin) committed. Repentance – a change of mind, & behavior from the heart, which leads to the turning away from (sin) wrong doing to the righteousness of God in Christ. To be and remain delivered and free, we must all not only be changed in our head, change must come from our minds, our behavior, and our hearts.
” For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things, you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.” ( 2 Corinthians 7:10-11 NKJV).
” But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” (Romans 10:8-11 NKJV).
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”( Acts 2:38-39 NKJV).
” 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).
” For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.” ( 2 Peter 2:20-22 NKJV).
” But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” ( Luke 9:62 NKJV).
” What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin.
Now, if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise, you also reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” ( Romans 6: 1-18 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].
