POWER AND EMPOWERED

+You are powered and empowered by God.

‭” 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.” ( Luke 10: 19 NKJV).

‭” But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” ( Acts 1:8 NKJV)


However,  Ephesians 3:20 says :
Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works in us…
•Remember the omnipotent, miraculous, supernatural, unlimited, and inexhaustible Power of God works in us, through us and for us.
•God the Holy Spirit in us produces the power that works in us.

  • This power is to be exercised and used against sickness, disease, poverty, the devil and demons and the list goes on. For examples on the demonstration of the Power of God please read the Four Gospels and the Book of Acts. You will see the Master (Jesus) in action with His Apostles and Disciples. We are a His Disciples.
    •From the very beginning God gave man dominion (authority & Power) over all the earth, Genesis 1:26 & 28.
    •Man’s failure to exercise this awesome Power has caused him ALL his troubles, and some of us ignorantly blame God for our troubles.
    •For some of us let’s stay on track. For others let’s get back on track, and for all of us let’s live this life of Power that we have of God through our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
  • ‭”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!

GREATER IS GOD IN US .

Christ in you is always greater than all that you will ever go through.

‭” Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.  By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 

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.  They are of the world. Therefore, they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this, we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”(1 John 4:1-6 NKJV).

‭” 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 8:1-39 NKJV).


The devil will try, but he has no power to condemn you. Only God does, and God will never condemn you. There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus…
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
No one can, but the devil is dumb enough to try.

The devil will often try to test you in many different ways to see where he can enter into your life. The devil is all about lying, stealing, killing, and destroying.But thanks be unto God that Jesus came into our lives that we might have the good life and have it more abundantly.
Again, Romans 8:31 reminds us:
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (No one!)
The devil is defeated, and he can never come out of his defeat.
Yes! Through the redemptive work of Christ, the devil is permanently defeated.

‭” 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!

HE IS WITH YOU

Where is God in all that we are going through? He is there with you.

•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!

MINISTERING THE WORD OF GOD.

‭‭ And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” ( Mark 16: 15-18 NKJV).

” And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.” ( Mark 16:20 NKJV).

‭‭”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).

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAK,THROUGH YOU
Matthew 10:19-20…take no thought how or what all of you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what all of you shall speak.
For it is not all of you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.
Luke 21:14-15
Settle it therefore in your hearts, NOT to meditate before what all of you shall answer:
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all of your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
•Remember this. God by His Holy Spirit works in you, through you and for you.

‭‭” 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]


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

PEACE

Jesus is the Prince of Peace and more. (Isaiah 9:6).
+++Do not let the bad news of the world steal your peace.
Psalms 37:37
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
John 16:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.


John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world, you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
+++The peace of God in you has already overcome all the tribulations of the world. Just relax and keep your mind on Jesus.
Isaiah 26:3-4
God will keep you in perfect peace when your mind is stayed on Him: because you trust in God.
Trust all of you in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
+++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.

HAVING FAITH IN GOD ONLY.

Fear is the absence of faith or the enemy of faith .

Mark 11:22
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have FAITH in God.
+++Why have FAITH in God?
Because Hebrews 11:6 says But without faith it is impossible to please Him (God)…
+++Your FAITH in God must be UNCONDITIONAL FAITH. This is a FAITH that has it foundation in the WORD of God and God Himself. This FAITH is flat out and all out in God without conditions.
+++Simply put, Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
+++This application of FAITH is the Key principle you need to exercise in order to obtain the abundant blessings of God.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

POWER WITHIN

‭‭” 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).

You Power ,because of Christ
In Luke 20:1-2, we read :
The Scribes and Elders said to Jesus tell us by what authority you do these things (miracles, signs, wonders, healing and deliverances? or who is he that gave you this authority?
Then Matthew 28:18 says:
And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
•All-Power speaks of the omnipotence of Jesus. This covers the sum total all and absolute authority and supernatural miracle working mighty power.
•When we received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and got baptized with the Holy Spirit, Fire and Power, we entered into the Omnipotence with Christ.
•We on our own are powerless, but in Christ and in Christ alone, we operate in His Omnipotent Power by His Holy Spirit.

Jesus said in ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬,”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.”


Then Acts 1:8 says :
But you shall receive power. After that, the Holy Ghost is come upon you…
Matt 10:1
AND when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
•The rapture of the Church has not yet come. Therefore, the demonstration of the Spirit and Power of Christ continues with us His Church.
+++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.

TRUE FREEDOM

+++Freedom In Christ+++

True freedom is to be free from sin,which means that you’re free from the devil’s control and dictates. JESUS PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE, for our freedom.

Knowing the TRUTH Helps enable you to be free. As John 8:32 states :
And you shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall MAKE YOU FREE.
+In regards to all the challenges or problems we will face in life, one of the most important things is to know about them is the TRUTH from God’s Point of View.
+We must Know, Understand, See and Approach all challenges and problems from God’s Point of View.
+God’s Point of View is the ONLY VIEW by which we can see all things correctly and TRUTHFULLY.
+In John 14:6 Jesus is the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life…
+In John 17:17 Jesus said that the Word of God is TRUTH.
+Jesus is the Word of God, the Word of God is Truth. The Truth and the Word are ALL ONE and the SAME.
+Let us therefore VIEW ALL THINGS in the LIGHT of God’s Word (the Eternal and Absolute) TRUTH.
+This sets the stage for Total and Complete Victory In Christ Jesus our Lord, and Victory in every situation. Amen!


Galatians 5:1 encourages us to :
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1 AMP
IN [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].
•In Christ Jesus, we are totally free spirit, soul, mind and body, past, present, and future.
•In Christ Jesus, we are free from the world and the devil. There is absolutely nothing in this world that should keep up down.
•You may have gotten knocked down with sickness, disease, financial hardship, or bad relationships, but you don’t have to stay down.

•I command you in The Name of Jesus! Get up! and stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free. For who the the Son set free is free indeed.


•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 AMPC].

BE BOLD

Godly Boldness

‭‭” The wicked flee when no one pursues, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD AS A LION.” (Proverbs 38:1 NKJV).


•You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and you have the boldness of Christ, who is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
Hebrew 4:16 tells us this:
Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
•When we go to God’s Throne of Grace in prayer, we must go with trust, confidence, and surety without hesitation. With this attitude of faith and boldness, we will always obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.


However, ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:17‭-‬20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ tells us to do this: “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may SPEAK BOLDLY, as I ought to speak.


•Continue to exercise your godly boldness in Christ Jesus.
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.

LIVING BY FAITH

The Importance of Living by FAITH

‭” 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).


•Four times, God said in the Bible, “The JUST shall live by FAITH”

‭‭ “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4 NKJV).

‭‭” For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:17 NKJV).

‭‭” But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”( Galatians 3:11 NKJV).

‭‭” Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” (Hebrews 10:38 NKJV).


•The word JUST in scripture means justified ( just as if we have never sinned). It also means RIGHTEOUS. REMEMBER:
•It is impossible to please God without faith, Hebrews 11:6.
•It doesn’t take any FAITH to live unholy and unrighteous, but it takes FAITH in Christ Jesus to live HOLY and RIGHTEOUS. Why?
Galatians 2:16 says,
Knowing that a man is not justified (or made righteous) by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ… TO LIVE BY FAITH, WE MUST.

‭‭”… looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2 NKJV).

‭‭” I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”(Galatians 2:20 NKJV).

‭‭”… above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”( Ephesians 6:16 NKJV).

‭‭” But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
…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: 20,24 & 25 NKJV].


•You are righteous, justified, sanctified and holy because you live by the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His redemptive work for us.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
