“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 3:13‭-‬14 KJV)

Romans 6:6-7, 18, 19, 22.
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified (put to death) with him (Christ Jesus), that the body of sin might be destroyed, that going forward we should NOT SERVE SIN.
7 For he that is DEAD is FREED FROM SIN.
18 Being then made FREE FROM SIN, all of you became the SERVANTS of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
19 …even so now yield your members SERVANTS to RIGHTEOUSNESS unto HOLINESS.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become SERVANTS to God, all of you have your FRUIT unto HOLINESS…
•Remember this Servants of righteousness always bear fruit in HOLINESS.
•Without HOLINESS no man will see God (Hebrews 12:14)
•Continue to let the Word of God be the standard for your life. Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your 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.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good”.(Romans 12:1‭-‬21 KJV).

Do you know that we all need to have a sense of why we are here ? We also need to know that we were created for a purpose. Do you also know that we will never find fulfillment and happiness until we are doing the thing for which we were created. For God won’t move us into the big things He has called us to unless we have been proven faithful in the small things He has given us. Rejoice!! I say rejoice if you are doing what you believe to be the small things right now. Why? God is getting you ready for big things ahead! Do not think for one minute that if you haven’t moved into the purposes God has for you by now that it’s too late. It is NEVER too late. Trust me I know .

Therefore,I can confidently tell you, that if you are still breathing, God has a purpose for you. He has something for you to do NOW. if you do not know what God wants you to do, be an intercessor. Why? Because we are all called to pray for one another. You can start by serving in your church. For we are all called to submit ourselves to a body of believers and help others. When we are faithful in these things, He moves us into others. It is written in 2 Timothy 1:9 that God “has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.” and in Roman 12:6 “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them.” Also in 1 Corinthians 7:7 for “each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.” So then, “as God has distributed to each one, as The Lord has called each one, so let him walk.”( 1 Corinthians 7:17). I pray that our Father will ” give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling.”(Ephesians 1:17-18). “May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your purpose.” (Psalm 20:4) IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME, , AMEN

Ezekiel 3:18-21
When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”

Christ in you is always greater than all that you will ever go through.
Romans 8:33-35
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Who is he that condemns?
•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 then 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.
Romans 8:31
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.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

So Study God’s Word
Hosea 4:6 says,
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge…
Proverb 15:5 puts it this way,
A fool despises (hates) his father’s (GOD) instruction…
•God is our Heavenly Father, and the Bible His Holy Word is His instructions to us.
•When we DO NOT study God’s Word we are indirectly despising, hating and rejecting our Heavenly Father’s instructions.
•Studying the Word of God is not a suggestion or option. It’s a commandment that we obey out of love for the Lord.
Jesus said in John 14:15 If all of you love me, keep my commandments, and in Luke 6:46 He also said “why all of you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
•You must Continue to make God’s Word your daily study.

Study God’s Word
(Hebrews 5:12-14 AMP)
For even though by this time you ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach you over again the very first principles of God’s Word. You have come to need milk, not solid food. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action), for he is a mere infant [not able to talk yet]!
But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.
•Ignorance to God’s Word is a liability and disadvantageous.
•The Word of God is the manual to live the life of God. As food is to your physical body so is the Word of God to your life, spirit, soul and mind.
•Make God’s Word your daily study.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

+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. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”(Luke 10:19‭-‬20 NKJV)

PERFECT EXAMPLE

“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).

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.(John 1:12‭-‬13 KJV)

Ephesians 3:20
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.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

FAITH is a Spiritual Activity
Mark 11:22
And Jesus answering says unto them, Have faith in God.

In Psalm 27:13 David said:
I had fainted, unless I had BELIEVE TO SEE the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
•When it comes to God, His Word, and His Kingdom we must FIRST BELIEVE BEFORE WE CAN SEE AND RECEIVE.
•Our FAITH in God becomes the things we are believing God for until those things are manifested or materialized.
•By FAITH we see and receive the promises of God.
Hebrews 11:1
FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPES for, the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN.
•Let your faith in God be your daily exercise.

•Christ in you is always greater than all that you will ever go through.
Romans 8:33-35
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Who is he that condemns?
•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 then 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.
Romans 8:31
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.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

“Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up”. (
James 4:1‭-‬10 NKJV).

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s “.(I Corinthians 6:9‭-‬11‭, ‬15‭-‬20 NKJV).

“…according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 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 3:11‭-‬21 NKJV).

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
[Jude 1:24‭-‬25 NKJV].

++Let Go and Trust God++
•Have you ever had something to say to someone and wanted to say it the right way, at the right time, but you were also angry with the person?
•Here are some fundamental principles of scripture that will help you.
James 1:19-20
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, For the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God.
Ephesians 4:26
Be all of you angry, and sin not…
Proverbs 15:1-2
A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright…
James 3:2
…If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man…
Ecclesiastes 7:9
Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools.
•Always be willing to let the anger go, trust God and communicate in love.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
