Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is full with basic instructions and information on how to live and survive on this earth before we depart to the after life. It tells us about the choices we have in life,and gives us an option to choose. It is the only book that the Author is present from generation to generation,while reading it. It’s the only book that tells the truth,the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It is the only book that the Author gives you promises,and keeps them. Everything. You need to know is in this book,yet people refuse to read. It,why? Because,the God of this world has blinded their eyes,and harden their hearts. Are you one of them?

HEAVEN OR HELL, the choice is yours.

Did you read the Bible today? It is the only, owners manual that us humans have that gives us details of the past, present, and future lifestyles that we have.

Then God sent His only son, Jesus to demonstrate and show us how to read it, live by it, obey it and follow every word of the Bible. Did you read it today?

So lets follow the only G P S system that God created that will lead us to eternal life. You could call it God’s prospering system,or even God’s purpose system,whatever this means or says,it’s for your good. God sent His only begotten. Son into the world for us,and,

HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life”. Have you accepted God’s gift of life? If not,then go to the top of this blog,and click on to the salvation page,and follow basic instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead,guide,and direct you,for the rest of your life,

CONFIDENCE BUILDE

And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us; and if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him (1 John 5:14-15).

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will give him astone? or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good gifts to them that ask him? Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even to them; for this is the law and the prophets(Matthew 7:7-12).

Be careful for nothing;but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6). Feed your confidence with the word.
James 4:2
…all of you have not, because all of you ask not. 
John 16:24
Until now have all of you asked nothing in my name: ask, and all of you shall receive, that your joy may be full. 
Psalm 2:8 
Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. 
Psalms 24:1 
The earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 
•You can ask God for anything in the world as long as it is holy, righteous and good. 
•Remember it is just as important to ask God for things for others as it is to ask God for things for yourself. 
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

RELATIONSHIP

Relationship is something everybody in this world wants and craves for, we all need someone to relate to in some form or fashion. It drives us crazy if we don’t have someone to talk to, hold us, care for us, be there for us, or feed us,  the list goes on and on.

Most people do some strange and extraordinary things just to have a relationship, then at the end of the day or in the long run they find out they don’t have one(a relationship) .

Some folks think they can have a good relationship, because they are educated, have money and all the trimmings that goes with it(house,car,boat,etc.) yet with all that and a bag of chips, they still can’t find the one that satisfies and completes them.

spouses, family, friends, sex, money, or drugs, can never fill that void or emptiness that constantly eats out your gut, and tears out your insides. But God can fill that emptiness.

I tried everything, and nothing or nobody gives me that sweet serenity, peace of mind, joy, or happiness,that God gives me ,through His son Jesus christ.

To experience and get or even understand what I am talking about you have to know God and have a close relationship with Him. The only way to have that relationship is through His son Jesus Christ.

You must understand that going to church is not a relationship, it’s only an external display to the world that you know there is a God. But when you have a relationship you can boldly declare,”In Him I live, and move, and have my being”.(Acts 17:28).

Or we can say,”For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain”.(Philippians 1:21)

All I am trying to tell you is that having a relationship with God, requires for you to know Him, love Him, serve Him, glorify Him, talk to Him, acknowledge Him, and live for Him. Listen you have to change your lifestyle if you want change; love, peace, joy, happiness and all the trimmings that goes with it having a relationship with God.

You can’t share God with no one, unless you are telling them about Him that’s the only time you can share Him. He should be number one in your life.

If you don’t know Him and want to know about Him, get your Bible, and start at John 3:15 – 17;John 14:6;Isaiah 45:21 – 22;Isaiah 59:1 – 2,that’s just to get you started now go the top of this blog and click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions.

Now for those who believe you must have a righteous and close relationship with God in order to have that kind of peace & joy (John 14:27;Hebrews 13:20-21;John 16:23-24) which only can be received,when you have a righteous relationship with Him through His son (JESUS). When you get into that kind of relationship with God, there is no limitations to anything. May God bless, keep  and guide you in His ways and will until He sends His son for us. TO GOD BE THE GLORY, HONOR, PRAISE, AND THANKS FOR USING ME TO INFORM YOU OF PART OF  HIS WILL , PURPOSE AND DESIRE FOR US, TO BE HOLY BECAUSE HE IS HOLY. AMEN.

NO WORRIES,GOD IS IN CHARGE

As we venture into this new year,remember,that all who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3:12). But Jesus assures tells and assures us that in the world we shall have tribulation,but be of good cheer,He has overcome the world(John16:33). Which means whatever,this new year brings,we will overcome it,so lets not be troubled,nor worried about this year,but boldly stand on God’s word and promises.Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light , and thy justice as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself in any way to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait upon the Lord shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be; yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him; for he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as are upright in their manner of life. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholdeth the righteous. The Lord knoweth the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be like the fat of lambs. They shall consume; into smoke they shall consume away. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth. For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the earth; and they who are cursed by him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

I have been young, and am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth justice and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of justice. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land. when the wicked are cut off thou shalt see it.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could no be found. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace.  But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the end of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD; he is their strength in the time of trouble.

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy, that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask the Lord to loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

HAVE YOU ASK

Most folks don’t receive anything,because,they are too proud,ashamed,or scared to ask. Some will not ask, because of the fear of rejection,but Jesus said,all you have to do, is ask,our Heavenly Father in His name. Did you ask? You have not because you ask not,James four tells us. However,whatever it is that you are asking for,and the reason or purpose,of the things you desire,plays a major factor in you receiving,what you ask for. The fact is that, God is able to give you what you want in exceeding and abundant fashion.”Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make flashing clouds;He will give them showers of rain,grass in the field for everyone”. {Zechariah 10:1}.Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find;knock and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Luke 11:9-10 suggests.

And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. 1John 5:14-15.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer, and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God, and the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus,  Philippians 4:6&7.

Jesus says in John 15:7, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”

Yet ye have not, because ye ask not; ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your own lust, that’s what James 4:2b-3 says.

Death and life is the power of the tongue says Proverbs 18:21. So start speaking, however if you don’t know God, or have a relationship with Him, what can you ask for more than anything else, except to know Him, so that you can be a part of the family.

1John 3:22 says, “And whatever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.”

GOD’S DESIRE FOR US

It is Gods desire for His people, children, or saints is to be healthy, wealthy, and wise,the problem is. Do you have the same desire to be healthy, wealthy, and wise. Then why aren’t you obeying His commands? It’s that simple. From Genesis to Revelation we see God’s desire for us,let me list a few. Deuteronomy 6:5,”And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart,and with all thy soul,and with all thy might”. Psalms 37:3-5,”Trust in the Lord,and do good,so shall thou dwell in the land,and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord,trust also in Him,and He shall bring it to pass”. Matthew 6:33 “But seek he first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you” . 3 John 2 “Beloved,I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prosperity”. Revelation 22:6 “And He said unto me,These words are faithful and true,and the Lord God of the Holy prophets sent His Angel to show unto His servants the things which must shortly be done” . There you have it folks,now that you know,what God wants what are you going too do about it? You could start by accepting His gift of His only begotten Son. Just go to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions or go to Daniel 9:3-19 in the Holy Bible, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and direct you for the rest of your life. God says in,Jeremiah 29:11 “…For I know the thoughts, that I think towards you,” says the Lord.
“THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND NOT EVIL, TO GIVE YOU A  FUTURE AND HOPE.”

The icing on this is 3 John 2  “BELOVED I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS, THAT YOU MAY PROSPER  AND BE IN HEALTH, EVEN AS THY SOUL PROSPERTH.”

Take that and deposit it in the bank of your heart, mind, and soul. All glory, praise, honour, and thanks be to God, the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
