Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition,” (Titus 3:1‭-‬10 NKJV)

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
(Ephesians 4:29‭-‬32 NKJV)

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.
(Ephesians 5:1‭-‬21 NKJV).

“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
(I Corinthians 1:9‭-‬10‭, ‬18‭-‬21 NKJV).

You Don’t Have To Give Up
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
However, 2Corinthians 5:7 reminds us how to walk.
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

“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).

“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does” . (James 1:2‭-‬25 NKJV).

+Remember what it means to go through something. Going through means you are passing through, and since you are passing through do not stop. Keep marching forward like a soldier in the army of God and you will eventually come out of it, or it will pass you by.
+You cannot be defeated unless you allow it.
+Give the Lord all that He requires from you in Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness and Faith in Him.
+The battle is already won and Victory is yours.
•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!

Have you given all your problems to the Lord?

“Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved”. (Psalms 55:22 NKJV)

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things”. (Philippians 4:6‭-‬8 NKJV).

1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) tells this:
Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him (Jesus), for He (Jesus) cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:25‭-‬34 NKJV).

IN Matthew 12:28-30 JESUS SAID:
Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and all of you shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

+In spite of all that we may be going through the Lord is our Healer, Deliverer, Redeemer, Strengthener, Protector and Provider, and through Him and in Him we have His Victory to live life victoriously.
Hallelujah!
•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!

Anointed Authority and Power
+We Have Anointed Authority and Power by the Holy Spirit and in Christ Jesus our Lord.
+It’s time for us to exercise MORE Spiritual Authority and Power in the challenges we facing.

WHEN WE FUNCTION OR OPERATE IN THE OMNIPOTENT POWER OF GOD, IT MAKES US UNSTOPPABLE.

+We don’t have to be an Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor or Teacher to do this.
+God’s Anointed Authority and Power is for all His Children.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.(Matthew 28:18‭-‬20 NKJV).

Then again in Luke 10:19, Jesus transfer that power to us His believers:
“Behold, I give unto you Power (Authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you”.

DEMONSTRATION OF GOD’S POWER

“But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.” But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god”. (Acts 28:3‭-‬6 NKJV).

+Your time of Supernatural Authority and Power has already began. Use it for the Glory of God, for your Victory and for the continued defeat of that dumb devil in the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

“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).

“For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me. And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My 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 persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong”. (II Corinthians 12:6‭-‬10 NKJV).

You are Strong and Victorious
+Think about all the struggles that you have gone through, and yet you are still here and going strong for Jesus.
+You have made it this far, and you will make it all the way.
+Giving up is not in you. So therefore giving up is not an option.
+You are a WINNER, and Winners never quit.
+God is with you and He is seeing you all the way through.
Romans 8:37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us.
Philippians 4:13
For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
1 John 4:4

“Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows “. (Luke 12:6‭-‬7 NKJV).

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand”.(John 10:27‭-‬29 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 8:31‭-‬39 NKJV).

Matthew 10:26-31 says:
Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

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

+Don’t focus on your deficiencies but focus on Christ who is our Sufficiency.
+You mean everything to God, and you are not only a Child of God, but also a close intimate and personal friend of God, John 1:12; 15:15.
+God loves us with the Highest and most Powerful form of Love which is Himself because God is Love, 1 Jn Ch-4.

WHO DO YOU TRUST ? Do you trust the government; how about your family, better yet do you trust your friends. Can you trust anyone? God never tells us to trust people, He tells us to love them , and trust Him.

“Do not trust in a friend; Do not put your confidence in a companion; Guard the doors of your mouth From her who lies in your bosom”. (Micah 7:5 NKJV).

“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God”. (Psalms 20:7 NKJV).

“He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife, BUT HE WHO TRUST IN THE LORD WILL BE PROSPERED. HE WHO TRUSTS IN HIS OWN HEART IS A FOOL, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered”.(Proverbs 28:25‭-‬26 NKJV).

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass”.(Psalms 37:3‭-‬5 NKJV).

“TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones “. (Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6‭, ‬8 NKJV).

It’s Time to Boost our Trust in the Lord!
+Let’s take our trust in God to the next level.
+How about TRUSTING God to the FULLEST, ALL-OUT and MAXIMUM CAPACITY of our HEARTS?
+First let’s get this straight. When we FULLY trust God with all our hearts there is no room left over in our hearts for doubt and unbelief. AMEN!
Proverb 3:5
TRUST in the Lord with ALL your HEART…
+What does Trust in the Lord Means?

1. It means that you have gotten to a place where we FULLY KNOW that God is Trustworthy, Reliable and Dependable.
2. It means that we have gotten to a place where we FULLY KNOW that God Keeps, Fulfills and Watches over His Word to perform it.

+Now that we are trusting God to the FULLEST, ALL-OUT and MAXIMUM CAPACITY of our hearts let’s take a good look at what it means to BELIEVE in God.
Mark 9:24
And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help my unbelief.
BELIEVE: to accept a thing as TRUTH and to be CONVICTED in our hearts by the TRUTH.
BELIEVE also means to fully agree with and to accept as real fact or evidence, and to know it by Faith Now.
+That is what it means to BELIEVE in God and His Word.
Romans 4:18-21
18 Abraham against hope BELIEVED in hope…
19 And being not WEAK IN FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
20 Abraham STAGGERED NOT at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God;
21 And BEING FULLY PERSUADED that, what GOD had promised, HE GOD was able also to perform.
Hallelujahs to Jesus!!!

+++Our God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent and is from everlasting to everlasting (without beginning and without end). He is beyond Awesome, beyond Description and beyond Comprehension. There is none like Him. He alone is God and besides Him (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) there is no other.

“Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God “. (Psalms 90:1‭-‬2 NKJV).

“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord”. (I Corinthians 1:9 NKJV).

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (Revelation 1:8 NKJV).

+++God argues with no one because He is always right.
+++God is the easiest Person to love because He is perfect in every way.
+++God is the easiest Person to trust because,He cannot lie (Titus 1:2).
+++Personally we should have no problems with God at all, (can I get a amen!).
+++When God has total control of our lives, nothing will ever get out of control.
+++Continuing to love and trust God with all your heart, (Mark 12:30; Proverb 3:5-6).
+++Blessed we are and blessed we will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Is Something Holding You Back?
+We cannot move forward in life with things that are supposed to be left behind.
Philippians 3:13
13 …but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15:57-58
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
+It’s time to let go the hindrances of the past that has been holding us back, and keep moving forward in the Lord.
1 Peter 5:7 AMP

A DISCIPLE MUST SUBMIT,SURRENDER,OBEY, REVERENCE,AND FOLLOW . GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.

“So Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.” Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord.” (I Samuel 15:22‭-‬25 NKJV).

“Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:23‭-‬27 NKJV).

However,John 13:35 informs us,
By this shall all men know that you are my Disciples, if you have LOVE one to another.
Jesus said in John 14:15
If you LOVE me, keep my commandments.
+The LOVING of Christ and the LOVING of one another is evidence that we are Disciples of Christ.
+Remember the FRUIT of the SPIRIT (the FRUIT of the HEART of those who follow Christ) is LOVE.
+The HEARTS of all Disciples of Christ are filled with the LOVE of Christ by the Holy Spirit.
+Can our HEARTS be filled with the LOVE of Christ and Hatred, Unforgiveness, Bitterness, Wickedness and Evil at the same time?
+Let us judge ourselves that we be not judged, and let the LOVE of God the Judge.
+May we all be found guilty of His love and not guilty of the devil’s unrighteousness.
•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.
