TRUST  AND OBEY

WE NEED to

Totally (All-Out) Trust In The Lord

Proverb 3:5-7

 Trust in the LORD with all of your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. 

 In all of your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.  Be not wise in your own eyes…

-We cannot trust in God and lean to our own understanding at the same time. It will not work. 

-Too often while we are trusting the Lord we let our own understanding get in the way. 

-In all our ways the Lord must be acknowledged. 

-God directs us in ALL things. 

-We cannot be wise in our own eyes. Meaning that we must cease from our own wisdom and only function in the Wisdom of the Lord. 

-Our job is to always cooperate with God on His terms. We are workers together with Him, 2 Corinthians 6:1. 

-Let us be lead by the Lord our Shepherd and by His Holy Spirit as we continue to live by every word of God. 

In You, O Lord , I have placed my trust and taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed; In Your righteousness rescue me. Incline Your ear to me, deliver me quickly; Be my rock of refuge, And a strong fortress to save me. Yes, You are my rock and my fortress; For Your name’s sake You will lead me and guide me. You will draw me out of the net that they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength and my stronghold.  Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord , the God of truth and faithfulness. I hate those who pay regard to vain (empty, worthless) idols; But I trust in the Lord [and rely on Him with unwavering confidence]. I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love, Because You have seen my affliction; You have taken note of my life’s distresses, And You have not given me into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.(PSALM 31:1‭-‬8 AMP)

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

ALL HAVE SIN,AND FALL SHORT  OF  THE  GLORY OF GOD….

If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude ourselves and the truth is not in us. [His word does not live in our hearts.] If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. If we say that we have not sinned [refusing to admit acts of sin], we make Him [out to be] a liar [by contradicting Him] and His word is not in us.(1 JOHN 1:8‭-‬10)

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven, And whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute wickedness, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. When I kept silent about my sin , my body wasted away Through my groaning all the day long. For day and night Your hand [of displeasure] was heavy upon me; My energy (vitality, strength) was drained away as with the burning heat of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin to You, And I did not hide my wickedness; I said, “I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord ”; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah. Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found; Surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him. You are my hiding place; You, Lord , protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you. Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, But he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him]; Shout for joy, all you upright in heart.(PSALM 32:1-11)

HIS PROMISES ARE REAL

It doesn’t matter how bad things are:

John 6:37 

Jesus said… him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out. 

1John 1:9 

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

+++In life we make mistakes, but we don’t have to be a mistake. God is Merciful, Gracious and Forgiving because God is Love. 

+++With a sincere heart just repent, and ask God for forgiveness. That’s what God is saying to you today, 

Hebrews 8:12 

For I will be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sins and your iniquities will I remember no more. 

+++It time to get over it and move on. Jesus has never left you or forsaken you. The Spirit of God is in you. You have the heart of God, the Mind of Christ and God is the Strength of your life, alleluia!

+++May I remind you that you can also do all things through Christ which strengthens you, Phil 4:13.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the Glory. Amen! and Alleluia! Hallelujah! Glory to God.

GRACE

“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  4:6-10}.

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we  are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.{Hebrews 4:14‭-‬16}

Proverb 15:3 

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. 

Hebrews 4:13 

…but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him (God) with whom we have to do. 

-There is nothing that is done in darkness that will not be brought to the light. 

-There is an appointed time when the truth of all things will be revealed. 

-Some of us are tormented by wrongdoings TO others and wrongdoings BY others and we do not want anyone to know, but God knows. 

-Things like these are ruining people’s lives, breaking them down mentally, physically, emotionally, making them sick and some sick to the point of death. 

-Where do we go from here?

-How can things get better?

-Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the life. He is the ONLY Person that can permanently resolve all of our problems. Go to Jesus with it. 

-There is no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus. For who the Son sets free is free indeed. 

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

POWER,LOVE,AND SOUND MIND 

Power over Fear

2 Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 

1 John 4:18 

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. 

•Natural Fear is to be afraid of natural things such as heights, the dark, a dog, and being alone, etc. 

•The spirit of fear or (demonic fear) is actually an evil spirit. This evil spirit uses anything it can to torment, worry and stress us with fear to the point of breaking down mentally and emotionally and some even get sick. 

•Your cure for the spirit of fear is the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of Power, Love and a Sound Mind. 

•God’s Perfect and Complete Love is in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Know this truth and accepting this truth and liberate you from all fears in the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ!

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!!!

WITHHOLDING  NOTHING  

REMEMBER

Psalm 84:11 

…NO GOOD THING will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 

Proverb 11:23 

The desire of the righteous is only good…

3 John 1:2 

Beloved, I wish above all things that you may PROSPER and be in health, even as your soul prospers. 

-Abundance and Great Desires are Good and Wonderful to have, but:

1. What happens when your Faith is not strong enough to obtain it?

2. What happens when your Wisdom is not Enough to Manage it?

3. What happens when your capacity is not enough to accommodate it?

-Here is wisdom. In 1 Kings Ch-3 God asked Solomon what “Do you want me to do for you?” 

-Solomon asked God for wisdom to be wise. 

-God answered and made Solomon the WISEST, RICHEST and most PROTECTED Man on the earth in his time. 

-In the Lord Jesus Christ you have much more than that. You have RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, PROTECTION and ETERNAL LIFE. 

-Let the Lord Jesus Christ be your Wisdom today and your a Wisdom for the rest of your life, and enjoy your Abundance and Great Desires. 

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

TO DWELL IN HIS PRESENCE 

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him,  being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:9-14

LISTEN 

Galatians 2:20 

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me…

+++Think about this, Christ lives in you. How? Through the Holy Spirit. 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

What? know all of you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which all of you have of God, and all of you are not your own? 

 For all of you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. 

+++The Holy Spirit is in you so Christ can live through you. Remember you were crucified (died) with Christ when He died on the cross. Your newness of life now is all about Christ. When you think it’s in His mind (you have the mind of Christ). When you speak, it’s His Words which is in your heart. When you act it’s In His strength and the Power of His Might.

Philippians 2:13 

For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 

+++Remember you have laid down (sacrificed) your life in Christ. Now the life you live is Christ living in,and  through you.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen! HAVE A HOLY SPIRIT filled day.

HIGHER POSSIBILITIES 

Luke 18:27 

And Jesus said, The things which are impossible with men are possible With God. 

•The key words here are “With God”. Are you With God? With God means two things.

1. You are saved, (born again) and you have a relationship With God.

2. We are workers together With God, (2Corinthians 6:1).

•Without God we go through many hard, difficult and some impossible things, and still many reject God.

•But With God all things are possible. Yes With God it’s possible to be healed, delivered, set free, prosper, overcome all trials, tests and tribulations. 

•Remember God knows best. Do everything God’s way and trust in Him. He will bring it to pass. 

•God’s work done God’s way will never lack the supplies of God. 

Philippians 4:19 

But my God shall supply all of your need according to his riches in glory by Christ 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!

GODS PLAN AND FUTURE FOR US

~‘For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord , ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope. ~‘Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you. ~‘Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart”, {JEREMIAH 29:11‭-‬13 AMP}

LISTEN

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord”.[1 Corinthians 15:50‭-‬58 ]

“Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].(ROMANS 12:1‭-‬2 AMP)
