WHAT SIN IS ENTICING YOU?

What is your flavor of sin? Is it money,sex,or power. Is it Alcohol ,drugs,or all manner of evil?

Whatever,it is……

“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”. {1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬11}.

LISTEN:

“My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent. If they say, “Come with us, Let us lie in wait to shed blood; Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down to the Pit; We shall find all kinds of precious possessions, We shall fill our houses with spoil; Cast in your lot among us, Let us all have one purse”— My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path; For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood”. {Proverbs 1:10‭-‬16}.

“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish”. {Psalms 1:1‭-‬6}.

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you”. {Romans 8:2‭-‬11}.

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

RETURN TO YOUR  CREATOR  

Sin entertains before it assassinate .Better yet,the flesh,and lust of it,makes you totally blind to righteous living. So you enjoy the sin now,but you pay dearly later .

GOD SAID :

“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”.(James 1:13‭-‬15 ).

GOD ALWAYS MAKE A WAY OF ESCAPE.

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it”. (I Corinthians 10:13).

HIS ESCAPE PLANS:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God”. (John 3:16‭-‬18).

WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO ACTIVATE HIS PLAN:

“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord , “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 1:18‭-‬20)

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land”. ( 2 Chronicles 7:14).

The WORD of God is God’s INSTRUCTIONS TO HIS PEOPLE and FOR HIS PEOPLE.
Matthew 4:4
…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
+Every Word of God means from Genesis to Revelation, and everything in the Old Testament as it applies to our New Covenant in Christ Jesus.
+Most of what God has to SAY to us in this lifetime He has already said it in His written Word (The BIBLE).
+Most of what God wants us to DO in this lifetime is already written in His Word (The Bible).
+In Matthew Ch-28 and Mark Ch-16 Jesus commissioned us to go into all the world to preach His Gospel, Teach His Word and Lay Hands on the Sick.
+Notice what happened when we obey His Great Commission. Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING the WORD with SIGNS following. Amen.
+When we do what God says do He will confirm His Word with signs following.
•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!

WHAT’S  KEEPING YOU BACK

Who or what is keeping  you from,living  a holy and productive  life? Ìts time to shake yourself loose from the sins ,doubts,fears,and people  who are a stumbling  block.

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord , Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears”. {Hebrews 12:1‭-‬17}.

“But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must  do.  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him”. {Colossians 3:8‭-‬17}.

BE BOLD

Godly Boldness

Proverbs 28:1 

…the righteous are bold as a lion. 

•You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and you have the boldness of Christ who is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. 

Hebrew 4:16 

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 

•When we go to God’s Throne of Grace in prayer we must go with trust, confidence and surety without hesitation. With this attitude of faith and boldness we will always obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 

Ephesians 6:18-20 says when we pray with all prayers and supplication in the Spirit utterance will be given unto us to speak boldly like we ought to speak. 

•Continue to exercise your godly boldness in Christ Jesus. 

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

OUR HEALER

Who or what do you think can truly heal you? The doctor,the medicine,or Jesus?  whose word ,and promises  are you standing  on? whose  report are you listening  to? 

May I remind you that:

The Lord is our HEALER!

+He is Jehovah Rapha-The LORD Your Healer

Exodus 15:26

…for I am the LORD that HEALS you.

Psalm 103:3

The Lord forgives all our iniquities, and heals ALL our diseases…

Isaiah 53:5

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we ARE HEALED.

1 Peter 2:24

Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you WERE HEALED.

+Notice that In Isaiah we ARE HEALED, but in 1 Peter were WERE HEALED.

+WERE HEALED means we always HAVE the complete healing in Christ Jesus even before the full manifestation of the healing in the natural. Hallelujah!

Say it loud and clear:

The Lord is our HEALER!
Acts 10:38, says:
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing ALL that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Then Psalm 103:3 confirms that God is our healer,it says,
“The Lord forgives all our iniquities, and heals ALL our diseases…”
+Please pay close attention to the WORD “ALL “ in both verses.
+Jesus healed ALL that were oppressed of the devil.
+The Lord heals ALL our diseases.
+There are no sicknesses or diseases that the Lord cannot heal.
+And everyone who is sick can receive the full manifestation of healing because Jesus HEALED ALL that were oppressed by the devil.
Hallelujahs to Jesus!!

Repeat after me:

The Lord is our HEALER!
Again,Acts 10:38 says,
“How God ANOINTED JESUS of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and HEALING ALL that were OPPRESSED of the devil; for God was with him”.
+We clearly see from this scripture that the devil uses sickness and disease to oppress people.
+Thank God that Jesus STILL HEALS ALL WHO ARE OPPRESSED by the devil.
1 John 3:8
…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
+The Works of the devil includes sickness, disease and oppression.
John 10:10
The thief (the devil) comes not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (your Lord) am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly.
+This Abundant Life is in the Lord Jesus Christ where there is no sickness, disease and oppression.
Hallelujahs to Jesus!!!

Say this and believe it:

The Lord is our HEALER!
As Luke 13:11-13, 16 says,
“And, behold, there was a woman who had a SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY EIGHTEEN YEARS, and was bowed together, and could in no way lift herself up.
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
+Notice that Satan used a spirit of infirmity to bind this woman for 18 years.

+No one has to be bound by anything of the devil, it that person DOES NOT want to be bound.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
+Trust in the Lord and be set free from all sickness, disease and oppression of the devil in the ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST! Amen!
Now say it loud and clear till you get it,and the sickness hears it,and set you free,in the Name of JESUS.

The Lord is our HEALER!
Mark 2:3-5 said,
” And four men came to Jesus carrying a paralyzed man on a bed.
And when the men were unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened the roof where Jesus was: and let down the paralyzed man on the bed in front of Jesus.
And Jesus, seeing THEIR FAITH, said to him, son your sins are forgiven you”.
+Jesus saw THEIR FAITH. It was a group effort.
+Thank God that this paralyzed man had at least four individuals in his life that had the Faith, Love and Commitment to stand with him and for him, and carried him to The Savior, The Healer and The Deliverer.
+Through our Love, Faith and Prayers let us do the same for those who cannot carry themselves to Jesus.
+Remember you are planting a seed in the event you have such a need.

GOD SAID:

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”.(2 Chronicles 7:14).

•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!

THE ULTIMATE  CURE

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”. (2 Timothy 1:7).

Remember, Jesus is the ultimate cure for everything , and everyone,and His advice is:

♢”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. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you”.(Philippians 4:6‭-‬9).

♢”Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”(Matthew 11:28‭-‬30).

♢“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;..”(Deuteronomy 7:9).

♢”Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”.(John 14:27).

POSSIBILITY WITH GOD
Luke 1:37
For WITH GOD nothing shall be impossible.
+It doesn’t matter what we are going through right now. As long as we are with God nothing shall be impossible.
+Remember we must be WITH GOD. +The question is not about God being with us? Hebrews 13:5 …for He has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
+God is with us, but are we WITH HIM?
+When we are WITH HIM, it means we are walking in full obedience and agreement WITH HIS WORD. It means we are walking in His Love (Love in ACTION), and we are walking in Faith (Faith in ACTION) WITH HIM at all times.
+Let us make sure that we are WITH the LORD in all that we do. Amen!
+For ALL things are possible WITH GOD. Hallelujah!

Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR ME?
+Our answer should unanimously be, No, Lord there is nothing that is too hard for You.
+With that being said. It doesn’t matter WHAT we are going through. This is what we should do…
Psalm37:3-5
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall we dwell in the land, and verily we shall be fed.
4 Delight ourselves also in the LORD; and HE SHALL GIVE US THE DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS.
5 Commit our ways unto the LORD; trust also in Him; AND HE SHALL BRING IT TO PASSE.
+Because there is nothing that is too hard for the Lord. 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!

I HAVE THE AUTHORITY  

“Behold, I give you the AUTHORITY  to trample on serpents and scorpions, AND  OVER  ALL  THE   POWER  OF  THE  ENEMY, AND  NOTHING  SHALL  BY  ANY  MEANS  HURT  YOU”.(Luke 10:19).

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord , “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall  be  your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord , who  is  my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways”. (Psalms 91:1‭-‬11).

EVIDENCE /CONFIRMATION  OF OUR POWER:

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

HOLY SPIRIT  

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.  Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”.(John 14:26‭-‬27).

Holy Spirit ,Holy Ghost Question: “What is the difference between the Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost?”

Answer: Of the modern English translations of the Bible, it is only the King James Version of the Bible which uses the term “Holy Ghost.” It occurs 90 times in the KJV. The term “Holy Spirit” occurs 7 times in the KJV. There is no clear reason as to why the KJV translators used Ghost in most places and then Spirit in a few. The exact same Greek and Hebrew words are translated “ghost” and “spirit” in the KJV in different occurrences of the words. By “ghost,” the KJV translators did not intend to communicate the idea of “the spirit of a deceased person.” In 1611, when the KJV was originally translated, the word “ghost” primarily referred to “an immaterial being.”
With recent Scripture translations, “Spirit” has replaced “Ghost” in most instances. Some of this came about because words don’t always hold their meanings. In the days of Shakespeare or King James, ghost meant the living essence of a person. Looking back, we see that “breath” or “soul” were often used as synonyms of “ghost.” During these times, spirit normally meant the essence of a departed person or a demonic or paranormal apparition. As language evolved, people started saying “ghost” when speaking of the vision of a dead person while “spirit” became the standard term for life or living essence, often also for “soul.” With slight exceptions, “ghost” and “spirit” changed places over some 300 years.
The real issue is that both “Holy Ghost” and “Holy Spirit” refer to the Third Person of the Trinity, coequal and consubstantial with the Father and the Son (Matthew 28:19; Acts 5:3,4; 28:25,26; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6). He is the gift of the Father to His people on earth to initiate and complete the building of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13). He is also the agency by which the world is convicted of sin, the Lord Jesus is glorified, and believers are transformed into His image (John 16:7-9; Acts 1:5, 2:4; Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 2:22). Whichever term we use, we remember that this Holy Ghost is God’s active breath, blowing where He wishes, creating faith through water and Word”.

ENCOURAGE YOURSELF

Don’t  let your  circumstances ,or people  dictate , or manipulate  your joy,peace ,mood or happiness . Take charge  of yourself ,get a grip on your thoughts , and allow  positive  vibes to flow in and through  you. Get the junk out of your mind,and replace  it things that are good . 

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT:

“Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God”.(1 Samuel 30:6 ).

“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 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. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you”. (Philippians 4:4‭-‬9).

REMEMBER  :

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord , And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord “(Isaiah 54:17).

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord , “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall  be  your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord , who  is  my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will  be  with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”[Psalms 91:1‭-‬16]•

FAITH  TO BELIEVE  

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it”. (John 14:12‭-‬14).

““Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! (Matthew 7:7‭-‬11).

Question: “What does it mean to have mustard seed faith?”
Answer: Faith is so vital to the Christian life that Scripture tells us that, without it, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Yet faith is such a powerful gift from God (Ephesians 2:8–9) Christ told His disciples that, with just a tiny measure of it, the size of a mustard seed, they could move mountains. So, what does it mean to have “mustard seed faith”?
We see the reference to “mustard seed faith” twice in Scripture. First, in Matthew 17:14–20, we see Christ’s disciples unable to exorcise a demon from a young boy, even though Jesus had previously given them the authority to do this very thing (Matthew 10:1). When they inquired of Jesus why they were not able to drive the demon out, the Master replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there’ and it will move; Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:14–20). Next, in Luke 17:6, Jesus tells His disciples, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.” By using the uncommonly small mustard seed as an example, Jesus is speaking figuratively about the incalculable power of God when unleashed in the lives of those with true faith.
We know that this statement about moving mountains and uprooting trees by faith is not to be taken literally. The key to understanding the passages is the nature of faith, which is a gift from God. The power of faith reflects the omnipotent nature of the God who bestows faith on His own. The mustard seed is one of the tiniest seeds found in the Middle East, so the conclusion is that the amount of faith needed to do great things is very small indeed. Just as in the parable of the mustard seed (Matthew 13:31–32), Jesus uses rhetorical hyperbole to make the point that little is much when it comes from God. The mustard seed in the parable grows to be a huge tree, representing the tiny beginnings of Christianity when just a few disciples began to preach and teach the gospel. Eventually, the kingdom grew to huge proportions, encompassing the entire world and spreading over centuries.
So, too, does the tiniest bit of faith, when it is true faith from God, grow to immense proportions in the lives of believers and spreading out to influence all they come into contact with. One has only to read histories of the great men of the faith, such as Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, to know that superhuman feats were performed by those whose faith was, at one time, only the size of a mustard seed.

HAVING A PURE BELIEF IN GOD
Romans 3:3-4
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar…
+A pure belief in God is based only on the Word of God.
+A pure belief in God is composed of Love, Truth, Holiness, Righteousness, and Faith.
+This is the standard we must maintain when we exercise belief in God.
+Never allow men’s opinion to interfere with your belief in God.
+Let God be True and every man a liar. Hallelujah!

Understanding BELIEF
Belief: to accept in your heart and, or mind that something is True or Real without facts or evidence.
Psalm 27:13
I would have fainted, unless I had BELIEVED TO SEE the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;
+Principle #1 in the Kingdom of God we must Belief before we SEE.
+Principle #2 in the Kingdom of God we must speak (or confess) what we belief.
+Out of these two principles come FAITH to receive the things of God. 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!
