NOTHING CAN SEPERATE US FROM GOD

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.《 Romans 8:24‭-‬39 》

POWER OF THE TONGUE

Watch what you say
James 3:6-10 says
“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. 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”.

Try to Say something kind,and uplifting,at all times.
Proverbs 18:21tells us that,
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit”.
Then Colossians 4:6 puts it this way:
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Proverbs 12:18.
There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
{I Peter 4:11}

2 Timothy 4:2-5
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

A VESSEL FOR THE MASTER’S USE

Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and  escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

{2 Timothy 2:19-26 }

WAIT

Waiting upon the Lord is a Blessing
Isaiah 40:31
But they that WAIT upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
•In your time of waiting upon the Lord your strength is renewed.
•Mount up with wings of Eagles is God lifting you above the situation. This is for you to look down on the situation and see things from God’s point of view.
•Run and not be weary is the new strength God gave you to finish the journey.
•Now you are back to walking again and this time you will not faint. All because you have waited upon the Lord.
King David,said :
” I waited patiently for the Lord ; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord . Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies”.{
Psalms 40:1-4}.

•May the Lord bless you with peace and patience as you wait upon Him.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE

God has a book of life,and for your name to be written in it requires the acceptance of Jesus Christ,His only begotten Son,and righteous living.
And the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.{Exodus 32:33}.
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the  Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire “[Revelation 20:12-15].
Jesus told His disciples, that when your name is written in the book of life,that’s a good reason to rejoice:
“Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
{Luke 10:20}
Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
(Revelation 3:3-5 )
But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
(Revelation 21:27)
If you didn’t accept God’s only begotten Son,then your name is not written in the Lambs book of life,to be written in the book,just go to the top of this blog,click onto the salvation page, and follow the instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you for the rest of your life.

SECURITY IN THE WORD

God’s Word is sure and secure.
2 Peter 1:19
…We have also a more sure WORD of prophecy; unto which all of you do well that all of you take heed…
•The infallibility of God’s Word gives it the ability to produce all the promises of God in your life.
•Yes! The Word of God is guaranteed and backed by God Almighty Himself.
•When you accept God’s promises by belief, trust and exercised faith in God, the promises will materialize in your life.
Romans 4:20-21
Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
And being fully persuaded that, what God had promised, God was able also to perform.

Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way. 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. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes. Rivers of water run down from my eyes, Because men do not keep Your law. Righteous are You, O Lord , And upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are righteous and very faithful.[Psalms 119:128-138]

•Stay encouraged and don’t give up.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

GOD’S PROMISES

image

Let’s start with, 2 Corinthians 1:20
“For all the promises of God in Him are yea,and in Him Amen,unto the glory of God by us”.
“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}
“Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.
[Joshua 23:14 ]
in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,{Titus 1:2 }.
These are proof that God keeps His promises,do you want more :
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust(2 Peter 1:2-4).
I could go on and on ,but the point is,if you are faithful to God,He will definitely be faithful to you.
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful,as
Hebrews 10:22-23 clearly States.
And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.{Hebrews 6:11-12}. As Ephesians 1:7-13 ,says:
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
REMEMBER:
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
[Numbers 23:19-20 ]

Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
Deuteronomy 7:9-15

Obedience yields God’s blessing

Obedient people finds favor with God, spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and many other ways.
So Samuel said: “Does the Lord has 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.”
{I Samuel 15:22-23}.
GOD SAYS :
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. “The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. “The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.{Deuteronomy 28:1-9 }

For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God .’ As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that a prophet has been among them. “And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”{Ezekiel 2:4-8 }.
BUT GOD SAYS :
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.  Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
{ Matthew 5:3-12 }

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
[ James 1:12 ]

GIVE THE DEVIL A HEADACHE

Let’s put the devil to shame. Instead of getting God upset because of our disobedience,lets do as God tells us,and piss the devil off. When we are obedient to God and His word,it gives the devil a massive headache,because he wants us to be disobedient, when we choose to walk and talk like Jesus did, choose to consult God and not lean on our own understanding,like Jesus did,it allows God to direct our paths,and as a result of being obedient,we can exercise our God given power to tread upon serpents,scorpions,and over all the power of the enemy,and nothing can hurt us,just like Jesus did when He walk on earth. With all the entertainers,and famous athletes around to distract us with their lascivious lifestyles, and the people who are close to us,dictating and directing us,the question is: Who are you following? Who do you chose to follow? If you allow a person or group to determine the outcome of your life now and forever, it could have detrimental and disastrous effects that you definitely will not like. The beauty about life is that we have choices and after a while you should be able to tell if the person you follow is leading you down the right path or not. Bottom line the best person to follow is Jesus Christ, because He is the designated way to God our Father. John 14:6 tells us that “He is the way, the truth, and the life.” That truth is undebatable whether you like it or not.

Is the person or group you are following, following Jesus? Are you following Jesus? In 1 Corinthians 11:1 the Apostle Paul said, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” This tells you that if the person or group is not following Christ, then they are following the devil straight to hell. Let me remind you just in case you forget, the devil does not like you because you are made in the image and likeness of God. So every time he looks at you, if you are serving God, it hurts him and gives him a headache; remember his intentions are to steal, kill, and destroy your heavenly birthright through Jesus Christ. Are you going to let him do it? If not, then stop following him? Stop living in his sins? Therefore be imitators of God as dear children,Ephesians 5:1 advises us.
When Jesus called or chose His first set of disciples He distinctly said, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.”(Matthew 4:19). How can we call ourselves followers of Christ, Christians and believers and not try to win souls for the kingdom of  God, not sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, not showing people the light? Why are you condoning and encouraging their sinful ways and desires that is contrary to God’s word and Godly living? Here is the question again, who are you following? Who should you be following? Jesus the beloved Son of God or manmade gods known as devils in disguise. In today’s society you better be sure. If the persons or groups behavior does not line up with the word of God (the Bible) then you better stop and follow Jesus, because He is the sure way and the truth.

When Jesus calls us to follow Him, it’s His way or the devils. It is being obedient to Him, it’s denying yourself and following Him, it is leaving people and things behind. Jesus becomes the number one priority in your life. “And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life” (Matthew 19:29).  Trust me it will be worth it, those guys gave up everything at that time and Jesus didn’t even give His life for them yet, but the just knew it was worth it, and now they are better off than they were. There is just something about Jesus that makes you want to jump, shout, scream, and be obedient, because you know it will be worthwhile.

Following Jesus may cost you a lot but in the long run it will be worth it. It guarantees you a place in eternity. When you feel tired and weary like you can’t go on, His strength is made perfect when you are weak. After waiting patiently, He will renew your strength, so that you will be able to mount up with wings like the eagles, you will run and not be weary, and you will walk and not faint. Why wouldn’t you want to follow Jesus? Who else gives you these promises and stands by them? Are you interested in following Jesus? Then go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page and follow the instructions.

However, don’t stop there find a Bible believing church, with people who are followers of Jesus Christ so that you can develop Godly character and principles May God give you the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to receive His message and apply it to your life. Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to Him who is Immortal and invisible, the only wise God, Our Savior, be glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to release this message to His children in Jesus name, Amen.
