Who are you following  or imitating ? Is that person  following  God,Jesus  or the Holy  Spirit ?  If they are not being  led by the Holy Spirit,then they are of their father  the devil. The Apostle  Paul  said  it best:

“Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ”. (1 Corinthians 11:1)

“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, submitting to one another in the fear of God”. (Ephesians 5:1‭-‬19‭, ‬21)

+Freedom In Christ+

Galatians 5:1 NKJV

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the  yoke of bondage. 

+In Christ Jesus we are totally free in 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 us 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.

+For it is God who supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

Hallelujahs to Jesus!!!

•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!

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O Lord ! Teach me Your statutes. With my lips I have declared All the judgments of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much  as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. Deal bountifully with Your servant, That I may live and keep Your word. Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law. I am a stranger in the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me. My soul breaks with longing For Your judgments at all times. You rebuke the proud—the cursed, Who stray from Your commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt, For I have kept Your testimonies. Princes also sit and speak against me, But Your servant meditates on Your statutes. Your testimonies also are my delight And my counselors. My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. I have declared my ways, and You answered me; Teach me Your statutes. Make me understand the way of Your precepts; So shall I meditate on Your wonderful works. My soul melts from heaviness; Strengthen me according to Your word. Remove from me the way of lying, And grant me Your law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before  me. I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord , do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord , the way of Your statutes, And I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it. Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way. Establish Your word to Your servant, Who is  devoted to fearing You. Turn away my reproach which I dread, For Your judgments are good. Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness. Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord — Your salvation according to Your word. So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, For I trust in Your word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I have hoped in Your ordinances. So shall I keep Your law continually, Forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts. I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, And will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Your commandments, Which I love. My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, Which I love, And I will meditate on Your statutes. Remember the word to Your servant, Upon which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life. The proud have me in great derision, Yet I do not turn aside from Your law. I remembered Your judgments of old, O Lord , And have comforted myself. Indignation has taken hold of me Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law. Your statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage. I remember Your name in the night, O Lord , And I keep Your law. This has become mine, Because I kept Your precepts. You  are my portion, O Lord ; I have said that I would keep Your words. I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; Be merciful to me according to Your word. I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies. I made haste, and did not delay To keep Your commandments. The cords of the wicked have bound me, But I have not forgotten Your law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, Because of Your righteous judgments. I am a companion of all who fear You, And of those who keep Your precepts. The earth, O Lord , is full of Your mercy; Teach me Your statutes. You have dealt well with Your servant, O Lord , according to Your word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, For I believe Your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word. You are  good, and do good; Teach me Your statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me, But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease, But I delight in Your law. It  is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes. The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins  of gold and silver. Your hands have made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments. Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, Because I have hoped in Your word. I know, O Lord , that Your judgments are right, And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, According to Your word to Your servant. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; For Your law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed, For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood; But I will meditate on Your precepts. Let those who fear You turn to me, Those who know Your testimonies. Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes, That I may not be ashamed. My soul faints for Your salvation, But I hope in Your word. My eyes fail from  searching Your word, Saying, “When will You comfort me?” For I have become like a wineskin in smoke, Yet I do not forget Your statutes. How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? The proud have dug pits for me, Which is not according to Your law. All Your commandments are faithful; They persecute me wrongfully; Help me! They almost made an end of me on earth, But I did not forsake Your precepts. Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth. Forever, O Lord , Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides. They continue this day according to Your ordinances, For all are Your servants. Unless Your law had  been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have given me life. I am Yours, save me; For I have sought Your precepts. The wicked wait for me to destroy me, But I will consider Your testimonies. I have seen the consummation of all perfection, But Your commandment is exceedingly broad. Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, Because I keep Your precepts. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I may keep Your word. I have not departed from Your judgments, For You Yourself have taught me. How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed That I will keep Your righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much; Revive me, O Lord , according to Your word. Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord , And teach me Your judgments. My life is continually in my hand, Yet I do not forget Your law. The wicked have laid a snare for me, Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts. Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, For they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, to the very end. I hate the double-minded, But I love Your law. You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word. Depart from me, you evildoers, For I will keep the commandments of my God! Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Hold me up, and I shall be safe, And I shall observe Your statutes continually. Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it. I am small and despised, Yet I do not forget Your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is  truth.{Psalms 119:9‭-‬117‭, ‬140‭-‬142 NKJV}

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But without faith it  is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.[Hebrews 11:1‭, ‬6]

So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.  However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”(Matthew 17:20‭-‬21)

Hebrews 11:1 

Now faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 

+Faith has SUBSTANCE to it. 

+Faith is EVIDENCE or (PROOF).

+Our faith must first become the substance for the promises of God.       

+Then after our faith must become the evidence of the promises of God. 

+faith in God makes the things of God go from a spiritual realm to a physical realm in our lives. 

+Our faith is the proof that we have received unseen spiritual things of God. 

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!!!

Jesus started His days with prayer 

Mark 1:35 

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, Jesus went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 

1. Prayer prepares you for a victorious and successful day. 

2. Through prayer God gives wisdom and strength to face the day. 

3. Through prayer God gives you insight and foresight. 

-I encourage you to start everyday with payer. 

-When you kneel before God you will be able to stand before anyone and anything that comes your way. 

Psalm 118:24 

This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 

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

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us”. (1 John 1:8‭-‬10)

“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God : “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord ,” says the Lord God , “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 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 judgments and do them.  Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. Not for your sake do I do this, ” says the Lord God , “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!” ‘Thus says the Lord God : “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt.(Ezekiel 36:22‭-‬33)

Way maker,miracle  worker,promise  keeper ,my God  that is who you are.

“But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance”. (2 Peter 3:8‭-‬9)

“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).

GOD DOESN’T  LIE

“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” (2 Corinthians 1:20‭-‬22 )

Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: “For yet a little while, And  He who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.[Hebrews 10:35‭-‬39]

Esther, a Jewish girl, who was married to a pagan King, broke a long standing tradition, marched into her husband’s throne room, spoke her mind, and rescued her nation from a holocaust. One woman – only one – saved the nation, because she was willing to get personally involved to the point of sacrifice and say, “If l perish, l perish” (Esther 4:16).

Before you say, somebody else should be doing this instead of me, read these words: l am only one, but I’m still one,who can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.(Philippians 4:13). I cannot do everything, but l can do something,through Christ who strengthens me, And because l can’t  do everything,on my own, l will not refuse to do something that God gives me strenvth to do. 
Ask God today, what can l do in this situation?

REMEMBER :

REMEMBER NOTHING is impossible for God.

Genesis 18:13-14 

 And the LORD said unto Abraham…

 Is any thing too hard for the LORD?…

-If this is the Lord’s question to you regarding your present problem, what would your answer be?

Mark 10:27 Jesus said:

…for with God all things are possible. 

Mark 9:23 Jesus also said: If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes. 

-So I say unto you be encouraged and stay encouraged. 

Psalm 37:7-8

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself…

 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any way…

-There is nothing that is too hard for God to do.

THEREFORE  :

Never Underestimate GOD!!!

Matthew 19:26 

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, …but with God ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE. 

+It is very important to notice that it is WITH GOD that all things are possible. 

#1 We must be WITH GOD in order to experience the Possibilities of God. 

#2 What does WITH GOD means? This means that we have a relationship WITH GOD through the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. 

#3 Our Relationship WITH GOD is Demonstrated in:

A. Love for God and one another. 

B. Obedience to God’s Word and the Leading of His Holy Spirit. 

C. We must have Hope, Belief, Faith, Trust, and Confidence in God at all times. 

+The Bible had thousands of promises in it that God has made to us. Find the Promise that applies to you situation, and Trust the God of all possibilities to fulfill that promise in your life and be blessed forever more for the glory of God. Hallelujah!!!

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!!!
