THE BLAME GAME

It’s so easy to blame the other person when a marriage or relationship is shattered or in turmoil. It’s even worse when people fail to realize that if God is not present, nor acknowledged then the devil is. Playing the blame game is not the solution to the problem, it’s one of the devils tactics to take the focus off of defeating him, and eradicating him out of our lives. One thing  for certain is that the devil hates marriages, because it reminds him of Jesus’ connection to the body of Christ (the  church), so he invented same-sex marriages to taunt and mock Jesus. We need to realize that when God is the center of our lives and we love, fear, and obey Him; then the fruit of the Spirit will be in operation which are: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

However, when the devil is present in a marriage or relationship, you will find that people are lovers of their own selves more than lovers of God,  covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affections (2 Timothy 3:2-6). The solution to this growing problem is not to blame or point fingers, it’s to identify who or what is the main cause, which is the devil and his henchmen, who blind your eyes, and entice you into sin, therefore if you submit to God and resist the devil, he will have to flee, and if you and your spouse draw near to God He will draw near to you as James 4:7-8 reminds us. It’s so simple, if God put you together then no one can divide you (Mark 10:9). So why would you allow the devil to come into your lives and destroy it, stop playing the blame game and gang up on the true enemy and defeat him.

It’s so sad when couples look to people in the church for help, for solutions, and advice about their relationship and  later that private information about the couple is used in a sermon to trample you under their feet with smirks on their faces; which reminds you that they are not God. Jesus told us in Matthew 7:6 ,”Give not that which is holy unto dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and lacerate you.” Then you better learn to go on your knees for yourself and cry unto God, who is a present help in time of trouble and need, because no one can answer for God, He does not need an advisor nor instructor. He is God all by Himself, and if you are walking in righteousness, you need to know that the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much (James 5:16). God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we may ask or think,according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20).

A marriage should be founded on Christ the solid rock, in order for it to last, with both of you looking to Jesus the author and finisher of both your faith. Without the triangle of God as the head, then the husband and the wife, with both of you looking and seeking the creator for answers in unity then you will allow the other fellow to come in and steal, kill and destroy your lives, home, and children. Stop fussing, fighting, blaming, and pointing fingers at each other, and join forces on your knees to destroy the enemy. The devil is already defeated, you just have to keep him defeated.

Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God, Our Savior, be glory, honor, praise, and thanks for using me His humble servant to relay this message to His children. To Him be dominion and power, both now and forever, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

WEAK OR STRONG

Societies perception of a weak person is entirely different, from God’s perception of someone weak. There is a difference between a weak unbeliever and a weak Christian, who is walking in righteousness; allow me to break it down. A weak person who does not know God does not have Him to cover their back, no one mighty and powerful to come to their defence; But a weak Christian, who knows God personally, knows that He is their refuge and strength, plus a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1-11). Who are you looking to for help? The government, your friends, family, the job, who all need help and a bailout package. Listen, “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, is my strength, in who I will trust; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower”(Psalm 18:2).

A weak person in the world does not have the God of the universe behind them, because they refuse to accept God’s only begotten son Jesus Christ, they refuse to turn from their evil ways, they refuse to acknowledge that there is a God. However, a weak believer or Christian have the blessed assurance to know that if they wait on the Lord, He will renew their strength, and enable them to mount up with wings like an eagle, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). As a Christian you better know God’s word for yourself, so you can defeat the enemy; that’s what Jesus use to defeat him (the Word/the Bible). Jesus told him like it is, “It is written.” In Luke 4:1-14, He sent the devil away, by telling him what God’s word says and mean. James 4:7, tells us to draw close to God, resist the devil and he will flee. For him to flee you better exercise the power and authority Jesus gave us, in Luke 10:19, to tread upon serpents, scorpions and all the power of the enemy.

As a weak Christian you better remember that there is no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit (Romans 8:1). You better know that weeping only endures for a night but joy comes in the morning, read it for yourself in Psalm 30:5 and Isaiah 65:19. Let the devil know, “Because we through the spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith, for in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availed anything, nor un-circumcission, but faith which worked by love (Galatians 5:5-6). Yes as a child of God, we do get to a point where we might not feel like praying or can’t pray, but remember this, The Holy Spirit which we are sealed with until the day of redemption (2 Corinthians 1:22) helps us in our infirmities; because we don’t know what we should pray for as we ought; But the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered, and He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is in the mind of the Spirit; Because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God (Romans 8:26-27).

However, we must understand as Paul did in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, where God reminded him that, “His (God’s) grace is sufficient for him, for God’s  strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me, therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecution, in distresses, for Christ’s sake; For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Children of the most High God lets be strong in the Lord, and for those who don’t know the Lord and want to know Him so that you too can be strong, go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions, so that you will never be weak and defenseless again. To God, my Heavenly Father, be the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me as one of His messengers to get this message out to inform, encourage and exhort you, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

CHRIST-I-AM-NOT-SATANS

A Christians motto should be: CHRIST–I–Am-Not-Satans. Who was it that paid the price for us? Who was it that died for us? So, who do you belong to? If we belong to God, through His son Jesus Christ, then we should follow Jesus’ example and be about Our Father’s business.We should not be conformed to this world, but be transformed, by the renewing of our minds as we see in Romans 12:2 and Ephesians 4:22-23. Jesus was and still is our perfect example of how we should walk, talk, and live for God, in righteousness, Holiness and perfection. It bothers me when people put their pastors, bishops, spouses, and other people above Jesus’ example of Godly living. John 14:6 distinctly tells us that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and no one goes to God (Our Father) without going through Him(Jesus). And just in case you don’t know or have not heard God only has one begotten son, who He sent to take away the sins of the world and His name is Jesus, it is written in John 3:16.

No, I am not saying it’s easy by any stretch of the imagination. It is so easy to say and write these things but to live it, walk it, and display it is very difficult if we don’t rely on God’s word, and Jesus’ and others in the Bible. Yes, it is do-able, because Jesus showed us how it’s done, and the Holy Spirit that resides in us, and as 2 Corinthians 1:22 tells us, “Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the spirit in our hearts.” The Holy Spirit is Himself the seal, it’s a finished transaction, the devil can’t touch us unless we let him. Ephesians 1:13 says,”In whom ye also trusted, after ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.” WOW ! That’s music to a Christians ears. So we can boldly say with pride that Christ-I-Am-Not -satans. You are a child of God act Christ-like.

If you are not a Christian, who is a child of God through His son Jesus Christ, then here is an opportunity to be one. Go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, then follow the instructions. It will be the best decision you ever make. Transfer the ownership of your life to God and not satan, be heaven bound and not hell bound, be heirs of the promise and not heirs of damnation. The choice is yours.

Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God, Our Savior, be glory, honor, praise, and thanks for using me His humble servant to relay this message to His children. To Him be dominion and power, both now and forever, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

THE ULTIMATE GIFTS

As the saying goes, “The cow never knows the use of its tail, until he loses it.” Most people fail to realize that God has given us multiple gifts. Every morning He opens our eyes, gives us breath, enables us to walk, talk, hear, feel, and smell. All these things, my friends, are all gifts from God. If you don’t believe that what I am saying is true, then lose one of these gifts after you get used to having them and you will understand. The gift that’s better than all the others was the ultimate gift of His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ) who gave us another ultimate gift, His life on calvaries cross, so that, we might have eternal life. John 3:16 shows as that, Jesus was an ultimate love gift from God to us. Did you accept it? “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ; Wherefore, He saith, when He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.”  – Ephesians 4:7

Please don’t lose the opportunity of accepting this gift while you have a chance, because it guarantees eternal life. “For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”(Romans 6:23). No matter what you think or hear, Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth, and the life, and no one goes to God without going through Him (John 14:6). Don’t allow the little god of this world called satan to deceive and blind your minds, that you will not believe this fact. This is what 2 Corinthians 4:3-4  says, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hidden to them that are lost; in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believeth not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE?

How shall anyone escape if they neglect so great salvation? (Hebrews 2:3-4); This is not a game, there is a God, and He is going to destroy the heaven and earth and make a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:1). And all those who accept His ultimate gift of His son Jesus Christ will have the experience of a lifetime, because “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain; for the former things are passed away.”(Revelation 21:4). Why anyone would refuse this deal of a lifetime is beyond me, the department stores don’t have a better deal than this, nobody on earth has a better deal than what God has offered us.

But the fearful, and unbeliever, and abominable, and murders, and fornicator, 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 21:8). Is this where you want to end up? Well you have a choice accept Jesus Christ, God’s ultimate gift to mankind and you will not burn in hell. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” But Romans 10:9 gives you more details, it says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Why delay any longer? Just go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page and follow the instructions.

Then, as a believer, you receive spiritual gifts, with the opportunity to use them in love. We read this in 1 Corinthians 12:3-11,

“So I want you to know how to discern, what is truly from God: No one speaking by the spirit of God can curse Jesus, and no one is able to say, ‘Jesus is Lord’, except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service in church, but it is the same Lord we are serving. There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church. To one person the Holy Spirit gives the ability to gives wise advice; to another He gives the gift of special knowledge. The Spirit gives special faith to another, and to someone else He gives the power to heal the sick. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and to another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to know whether it is the Spirit of God or another spirit that is speaking. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, and another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Holy Spirit who distributes these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.”

Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God, our Savior, be glory, honor, praise, and thanks for using me His humble servant to relay this message to His children. To Him be dominion and power, both now and forever, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

A CLEAN HEART

God is the only heart specialist that does not need tools. The Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts (1 Chronicles 28:9).  ” I  will give you a new heart and put a new Spirit within you;I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh,and give you a heart of flesh.I will put my spirit  within you  and cause you to walk in my statutes,and you will keep my judgements and do them” (Ezekiel 36:26-27).God promises to give us a new heart and a new spirit which will cause us to walk righteously,and be obedient to His word,that is awesome.

The heart, my friends, is deceitful and desperately wicked above all things (Jeremiah 17:9-10). Jeremiah 17 verse 10 reminds us that God searches the heart. So when we put our trust in man, we are gambling with our life. According to Jeremiah 17:5-7 a person is cursed if they put their trust in man, but if you put all your trust in God then you are blessed.

Our heart is what the Lord requires from us, but it has to be clean and pure. Read Ezekiel 36:26, Ephesians 4:24, and 2 Corinthians 5:17 which means a new heart turns  you into a new person, or a new creature.

Allow God to give you a heart transplant. Jesus Christ is the donor and God is the heart specialist. Read the prayer on the Salvation Page and receive the new heart God has for you by accepting His son Jesus.

 To the Everlasting Father, our great comforter, the Awesome God, who was, and is, and is to come be all glory, praise, honor and thanks.

MONEY TALK OR IN GOD WE TRUST

The United States currency says “In God we trust”, yet most people trust in the money instead of trusting in God. They are so caught up with, and consumed with the mighty dollar, than with the Almighty God, who opens their eyes to see the money, and provides the resources to make the money, like the trees, paper, people and ink to name a few. Unfortunately, this is a world-wide problem. Many people like to say money is power, failing to realize that it does not have power because it can’t talk to you, save you from hell, or buy your way into heaven. In Matthew 19:24  Jesus reminds us that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Why? Because they are so consumed with getting and counting money that they forget about God, who made it possible for them to receive money.

There is nothing wrong with being rich, just as long as you don’t love it more than God or allow it to replace God. The love of money is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10 says it best, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” Then in verse seventeen it tells us to tell those who are rich in this world, not to be proud, and not to trust in their money, which will soon be gone; But their trust should be in the living God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment..and to do good. We must not allow money to  become our  master, because Matthew 6:13 reminds us that, “No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to one and despise the other, you cannot serve God and money (Mammon).”

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the whole world and lose his soul (Luke 9:25) As Peter said in Acts 8:20, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money.” I wonder how many people in the world think that they can buy their way into heaven. Sorry to disappoint those of you who believe you can because you cannot purchase your way into heaven. Money doesn’t talk as some people might think, because it doesn’t speak God’s language or any other for that matter. The only way to God is through Jesus Christ His only begotten Son (John 14:6). So if you are interested go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, follow the instructions, and pray the salvation prayer. We can only trust in God and money does not talk it burns a hole in your pocket and leads you to  burn in hell. Choose Christ today. Money can neither walk or talk, IF IT COULD IT WILL TELL YOU  THAT YOU CAN’T BUY  GOD.

Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God, our Savior, be glory, honor, praise, and thanks for using me His humble servant to relay this message to His children. To Him be dominion and power, both now and forever, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

GOD LOVES THE RIGHTEOUS

Christians are righteous people,and righteous people are christians; To be righteous is to be in right standing with God;Therefore,Christians obey God’s word ,but acting christians compromise and disobey Gods’ word.Unfortunately  many people in the world can’t differentiate between the two.But allow me to shed some light on certain facts: There is a big difference between a righteous person and an unrighteous person,the righteous person lives for God,obey His commands,pray ,go to church and read their Bible daily,and above all accept Gods personal gift of His only begotten son Jesus Christ,who is the only one that allows us to be in right standing with God,and God loves the righteous.

To maintain righteousness, one must present their bodies as a living sacrifice ,Holy and acceptable unto God which is our reasonable service;and be not conformed to this world,but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,that ye may prove what is that good,and acceptable,and perfect will of God (Romans 12:1-2).”What ? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,which ye have of God,and ye are not your own ? For ye are bought with a price , therefore glorify God in your body,and in your spirit,which are God’s” ( 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20).God loves the righteous Psalms 11 :7 tells us,”For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness;His countenance doth behold the upright” Most people can’t figure out why righteous folks are prosperous,and joyful even when things don’t look good,it’s because we know the God we serve,we trust the God we serve,and we believe in the God we serve,and He reminds us of that fact in Psalms 34:15,17,19.

The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous,and His ears are open unto their cry. The righteous cry,and the Lord heareth,and delivered them out of all their troubles.Many are the afflictions of the righteous;but the Lord delivered him out of them all.  Righteous folks are blessed people in Matthew 5:6,10 it tells us, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness,for they shall be filled.Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake:For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven”.If you are still not satisfied King David says,”I have been young,and now old;yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,nor his seed begging bread”Psalms 37:25. Then  if we move down to James 5: 16 we see that ,” ..The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availed much”.There are many scriptures that prove that God loves the righteous,and His wish is for all to be righteous,that’s why He sent His only begotten son (JESUS CHRIST) .

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son,that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish ,but have everlasting life…( John 3:16-17). For  He hath made Him to be sin for us,who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).For God to answer or hear you when you pray,you must follow what 1 John 1 : 9 says,”If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” God promises in Hebrew 8 :12 that,He will be merciful to their unrighteousness,and their sins ,and iniquities He will remember no more;it is then you will feel His eyes over you ,because of righteousness and His ears will be open to your prayers( 1 Peter 3 :12).Why anyone would not desire the love of God by being righteous does not make any sence,because you will be heading to hell.

God does not dwell in unrighteousness you can’t go to the club, bar, pub, and any other ungodly place the night before and go to church and pretend like you are righteous, because you can’t serve two masters (Matthew 6:24), then by doing that you give the righteous and authentic Christian a bad reputation. One thing you need to know is that if Jesus appears suddenly and you are caught in an ungodly, unholy or un-righteous position ,then you will be left behind. It’s time to be right and if you are not take this opportunity and go to the top of this blog to the Steps to Leading Someone to Christ/Salvation Prayer page and pray the prayer or pray from your own heart. May God guide you in the rest of the steps you have to take with Him in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God, Our Savior, be glory, honor, praise, and thanks for using me His humble servant to relay this message to His children. To Him be dominion and power, both now and forever, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

HEAVENLY VALENTINE

Don’t have an earthly valentine? So what. I can assure you that you have a  Heavenly one, and His gifts are priceless, and He loves you everyday. Valentines day drives a lot of people crazy, some feel loved, some un-loved; some get gifts, flowers, and other things while some don’t; then sadness kicks in, then depression, then loneliness. But realistically if that’s the only day you want to show me how much you love me then keep it, because it’s not real and you are forced to love me because of the holiday. However, for those who get and don’t get gifts, we have gotten our love gift from God our Heavenly Father years ago, through His only begotten son Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He loves us so much He gave His life on the cross for us.

So if you feel un-loved or un-wanted today, think of the only One who ever loved you unconditionally; that He gave up everything, and He didn’t set aside a special day to do it, because He loves you every day. He proves His love by waking you up, so you have an opportunity just to read this and feel special. His gifts are limitless and they come daily, just stop and think who else can give you grace and mercy, favor and blessings, life everlasting, healing and a whole lot more. So allow Jesus  Christ to be your valentine for life, and you will never be without a valentine, never be lonely, and never have to go to hell; try Him today. Is valentines day the only time you show or get love? Then try Jesus, because He loves daily. Visit the Leading Someone to Christ/Salvation Prayer page to read and pray the salvation prayer or lead someone else in praying it.

The best gift you could give someone for valentine’s day is the opportunity to know Jesus Christ, and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. God gave Him to us years ago as we see in John 3:16-17, which states,”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

QUALITY TIME

When we are dating someone who has the potential to be our spouse, we spend quality time with them, know their moods, likes, dislikes, and everything else we need to know about them. However, most of the time we get mixed signals or are blinded by our lust and desires, but if we spend the same amount of time to get to know God the same way, then  He will be able to see what we don’t see because He looks at the heart. What’s disturbing to me is that we can spend all this time getting to know a person that might leave us, forsake us, or break our heart, but the one who we should spend time with and get to know we don’t. The one who never goes back on His promises, or His word we fail to spend quality time with. That one is God, He is the one we should spend time with and get to know before we get to know anyone else.

Some people say time waits on no one, and that is a fact. Most people waste time doing things they should not be doing, while others spend time studying for an exam, or practicing to sing or dance, even to be successful in a sport or something. Yet the one who invented it all we spend less time with. Now is the time for us to walk circumspectly not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:15-16). What are you doing with your time? Times have changed for the worse, we have advanced in technology, but decreased in Godliness. In Ecclesiastes 3, we learn that there is a time for everything, so what are you doing with the time you have while you are alive? Have you made time to meet your Maker now instead of later when it will be too late?

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; For the time is at hand (Revelation 1:3). Yes the time is at hand where the Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 3:1-13,  

“This I know, also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; from such turn away. For of this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with various lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth, men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further; for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what persecutions I endured; but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall become worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

It’s time to let God in your life. It’s time to give Him some quality time. If you are interested go to the top of this blog and visit the salvation page that is titled Steps to Leading Someone to Christ; Salvation Prayer.

However, don’t stop at just receiving Salvation. Find a Bible believing church, with people who are followers of Jesus Christ so you can develop Godly character and principles. Read your Bible daily,and allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you for the rest of your life.  May God give you the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to receive His message and apply it to your life, in Jesus’ name. Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to Him who is Immortal and Invisible, the only wise God, our Savior, be glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to release this message. In Jesus name, Amen

BLESSED WITHOUT A CLUE

DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BLESSED?

I wonder how many people out there are blessed and don’t have a clue that they are, because they spend half their lives looking at the world’s standards or opinions of a blessed person. Most people fail to realize the you can have a million dollars and all the trimmings that go with it; like cars, houses and the whole works and they are not as blessed as the person with nothing. What’s your definition of a blessed person? Someone with money, yet unhealthy is not blessed. Someone with money and no one to enjoy it with is not blessed, yes you maybe able to buy a few friends but they are not authentic friends, because when the money runs out, they will be running with it.

One dictionary says a blessed person is one who enjoys happiness, or enjoys the bliss of heaven. However, Jesus’ sermon on the mount, called the Beatitudes shows us who  God considers as blessed. In Matthew 5:3-12, the Amplified Bible says it best.

Blessed (happy, and spiritually prosperous, with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

 Blessed and enviably happy (a happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor, and His matchless grace) are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek (the mild, patient, and long sufferers) for they shall inherit the earth; Psalm 37:11 confirms this statement.

Blessed, and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (where the born-again child of God, true Christians enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger  and thirst for righteousness (those who are upright, and  in right standing with God) for they shall be completely satisfied. Blessed are the merciful (those who show compassion for others), for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart (no bitterness, anger, etc.) for they will see God.

 Blessed are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted (ridiculed, jeered, imprisoned, etc) for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake, just rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Jesus’ list did not consist of people with money, because most of them are too busy making and counting it, they forget about God. So their money has replaced the God who made it and made it possible for them to have it. God is the one who gives us the power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18), but it was not given to replace Him. There is nothing wrong with wealth, it’s just that you can’t let it replace God. The money can’t buy your blessings, health or your way into heaven, but it will send you to hell if you allow it to control you. There are so many people who are blessed without a clue, because they don’t read the Bible, which gives you a list of all the blessed people. Here is a few then you can find the rest. Jeremiah 17:7 says, Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. Psalm 1:1-2 says, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the council of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, but His delight is in the law of the Lord, in which he meditates day and night.

One of my favorite is Psalm 32:1-2, which says, Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered; Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 

Now that’s what I consider blessed, and I prefer being on God’s blessed side than to be on the cursed side. Being blessed means I am heaven bound, are you? You could be too, start by going to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. In Jesus name may God lead you to a Bible believing, Holy Spirit filled church.

To the only wise God, Our Savior, be glory, honor, praise, and thanks for using me His humble servant to relay this message to His children. To Him be dominion and power, both now and forever, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
