GO TELL IT

Therefore My people shall know My name; Therefore they  shall  know in that day That I am He who speaks: ‘Behold, it  is I.’ ” How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, With their voices they shall sing together; For they shall see eye to eye When the Lord brings back Zion” (Isaiah 52:6‭-‬8).

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “ Lord , who has believed our report?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.” But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by those  who  are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.” But Isaiah is very bold and says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.” But to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people.”(Romans 10:14‭-‬21).

In Mark 16:15 Jesus commanded and commissioned us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature (the whole human race).

ALL ABOUT THE WORD

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work”.(2 Timothy 3:16‭-‬17).

IT’S POWERFUL 

“For the word of God is  living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are  naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must  give account”(Hebrews 4:12‭-‬13).

IT GUIDES 

“Forever, O Lord , Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides. How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word. Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope. My eyes fail from  seeking Your salvation And Your righteous word. Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. I opened my mouth and panted, For I longed for Your commandments. Look upon me and be merciful to me, As Your custom is toward those who love Your name. Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, That I may keep Your precepts”.

[Psalms 119:89‭-‬90‭, ‬103‭, ‬105‭-‬105‭, ‬114‭, ‬116‭-‬116‭, ‬123‭, ‬129‭-‬134[

The Power of God’s Word in us. 

1 Thessalonians 2:13                    

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, because, when all of you received the Word of God which all of you heard of us, all of you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in TRUTH, the WORD of GOD, which EFFECTUALLY WORKS also in you who BELIEVE. 

EFFECTUAL: capable of producing all intents and purposes. 

Hebrews 4:12 AMP

For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power making it active, operative, energizing, and effective…

+The WORD of God in us is Alive, Active, Operative, Energizing and Effective. It is capable of producing all the intents and purposes of God  in us and through us. 

+When we take man made medication we have no issues expecting the intents and purposes that medication is supposed to produce. 

+How much more then shall we expect the Word of God to produce in us the intents and purposes of God in our lives. 

+Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 4:4. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word proceeds of the Mouth of God. 

•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!

DON’T BECOME A CAST OUT 

​John 6:37 

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

Then,1John 1:9 says,

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. God is saying to you today,

in Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sins and your iniquities will I remember no more. 

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.

And know that you can also do all things through Christ which strengthens you, (Phil 4:13) Alleluia!

IT’S  A SOUL EXPERIENCE  

​How much  do you love God?  How should  you love  Him?

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength”(Deuteronomy 6:5). 

God does  not want you to love Him partially,nor give Him you leftover   . He wants  your all, because ,  He gives  you His all,He gives  you  His best,so He deserves  your best . 

Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’{Matthew 22:37‭-‬39}.

Ask the Lord to restore your soul,so that you can love Him ,with your all.

“He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake”(Psalms 23:3).

“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).

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”(Matthew 6:33).

when you give God your all,and your best, good  things  happen .

“Now before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him did any arise like him”.(2 Kings 23:25).

REMEMBER 

“The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself”[Ezekiel 18:20].

GOD DON’T  WANT ANYONE TO PERISH

It’s plain,clear,and simple that God don’t want anyone to perish in hell.

LISTEN:

“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 3:9}

The Truth is, as ​Ezekiel 18:20-23 says, “The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God ,  and not that he should turn from his ways and live?”

Then, Psalms 32:1-2, 5 reminds us that “Blessed is  he  whose  transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord  does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there  is no deceit. I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord ,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

that whoever believes in Him should not perish but  have eternal life.  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.  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”[John 3:15‭-‬21]

God doesn’t want you to perish in hell,so why would you want to go there?

“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that  I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” [Deuteronomy 30:15‭-‬16‭, ‬18‭-‬20]

THE TONGUE  

Growing up there was a saying,that goes,”sticks and stones may break my bones,but words certainly won’t “.

 That’s  a lie, words  can make you or break you. Words can encourage or destroy.

As a matter of fact,this is what the Bible says,

“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you”[Ephesians 4:29‭-‬32].

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit”.{Proverbs 18:21}

“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.  For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”[Matthew 12:36‭-‬37]

“Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It  is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?”{James 3:5‭-‬11}

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in  it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.[James 1:22‭-‬27]

DON’T TRUST FLESH

​Matthew 26:41 …the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 

The spirit is willing: You are predisposed (always ready) in your spirit by the Holy Spirit to obey God. You are strong in your spirit by the Holy Spirit. 
The flesh is weak: The weakness of the flesh is it’s susceptibility to sin and it’s inability to obey God.

Remember what Romans 8:8-9 says,” So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But all of you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.”

 

However,Galatians 5:16-17 says,

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, (let the Spirit make the decision) and all of you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these  are contrary the one to the other: so that all of you cannot do the things that all of you would. 

But thanks be to God you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, Phil 4:13. “AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS. IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT,LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT”{Galatians 5:24~25}.

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

THE COST OF DISOBEDIENCE 

​when we disobey the commands of the Bible,we are rebelling  against God .

So Samuel said: “Has the Lord  as  great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord ? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is  as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is  as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord , He also has rejected you from being king.”[ Samuel 15:22‭-‬23].

Then the Lord said: “I have pardoned, according to your word; but truly, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord — because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice, they certainly shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it. But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it”,[Numbers 14:20‭-‬24].

But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’ Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward. Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.  Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers. “Therefore you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not obey you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you. “So you shall say to them, ‘This is a nation that does not obey the voice of the Lord their God nor receive correction. Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth”.(Jeremiah 7:23‭-‬28]

THIS WEEKS ADVICE 

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. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.[Philippians 4:4‭-‬9‭, ‬13‭, ‬19‭-‬20]

YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO GOD  

Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.  But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.  For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”(Matthew 12:34‭-‬37)

​1 Corinthians 1:10 says,

“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment”. 

“Walk in wisdom toward those who  are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be  with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one”.(Colossians 4:5‭-‬6)

+++Good communication is KEY to experience Victory and Success.

+++Let us all speak the same thing. There is agreement in language. 

+++No division among us means we  all stand in agreement and unity with the same things. 

+++Perfectly joined together is compatibility. Living together consistently in harmony and conformity to Word of God. 

+++The same mind is the Mind of Christ, and the same Judgement is the same decision.  

Remember communication is the basis of life. When communication breaks down the spirit of confusion (the enemy) will enter.

Matthew 5:37 states,

But let your communication be, Yes, yea; No, no: for whatsoever is more than these comes of the evil one.
