GOD BY HIMSELF

NO ONE SO HOLY,NO ONE SO FAITHFUL, there is no one,like God.
With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. You will save the humble people; But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down. “For You are my lamp, O Lord ; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. “For who is God, except the Lord ? And who is a rock, except our God? God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me; So my feet did not slip.{2 Samuel 22:32-37}.

Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord , Or as His counselor has taught Him? With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him, And taught Him in the path of justice? Who taught Him knowledge, And showed Him the way of understanding? “To whom then will you liken Me, Or to  whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His power; Not one is missing. Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord , The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those  who  have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
[Isaiah 40:13-14, 25-26, 28-31]

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.(I Timothy 1:17)

WHO ARE YOU HANGING WITH

There are phrases that warns you about the people you keep company with, like :
“Birds of a feather flock together”.
” show me your companions, and I will show you who you are”.

However,the Bible puts it this way :
Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”[Corinthians 15:33]

Then Psalms 1:1 says,
“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”.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13
” I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner— not even to eat with such a person. For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”

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.{I Corinthians 6:9-11}.

Who are your friends,and companions ? Are they Godly or ungodly ? Do they like to do evil or good? Do they like to party or go to church? You can’t walk with God and hang out with the devil.

Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the Lord your God. Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations—these that remain among you—and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you, know for certain that the Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the Lord your God has given you. “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. Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which the Lord your God promised you, so the Lord will bring upon you all harmful things, until He has destroyed you from this good land which the Lord your God has given you. When you have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed down to them, then the anger of the Lord will burn against you, and you shall perish quickly from the good land which He has given you.”
{Joshua 23:11-16}

THE DEVIL CAN’T STEAL IT,unless you let him

The devil only knows how to subtract,and divide,he never adds or multiply. Therefore,no Christian should ever wear the title of broke,busted,sick,and disgusted,that dirty rotten devil is a liar. Don’t say it,nurse it,claim it ,nor rehearse it,don’t accept it,give it back to the devil,and tell him go to hell with it. As a christian you better start standing on the promises of God,and the word of His testimony.
1 Peter 1:3-4 says,”According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness,through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue; By which are given unto us exceedingly great and precious promises,that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”. And when we read Ephesians 1:3 it solidify our blessings,by saying” Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,who hath blessed us with all Spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ”.
Now if God give us all things pertaining to life,and Godliness,the question is are you living Godly,in order to never be broke,busted ,sick,and disgusted,or have you allowed the enemy to steal it,through the lust of the flesh,lust of the eyes,and the pride of life,is not of the Father,but is of the world,according to 1 John 2:16.
Brethren,”ye lust,and have not;ye kill and desire to have,and cannot obtain;ye fight and war,yet ye have not,because ye ask not. Ye ask,and receive not,because ye ask amiss,that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses,know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever,therefore,will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain,the spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But He giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith,God resisteth the proud,but gives grace unto the humble”(James 4:2-6). However, Psalms 103:2-5 says
“Bless the Lord , O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s”. Now there is your answer to those who are sick, broke,busted,and disgusted,and call yourselves christians,you can’t serve two masters,says Matthew 6:24. “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God,for it is He who giveth thee power to get wealth…”Deuteronomy 8:18. However, Joshua 1:8 says,”This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth,but thou shall meditate therein day and night,that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein;for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,and then thou shalt have good success”. But 1 Timothy 6:17-19 warns us,” Charge them that are rich in this age,that they be not high-minded,nor trust in uncertain riches but in the living God,who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;that they do good ,that they be rich in good works,ready to distribute,willing to share,laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come,that they may lay hold on eternal life”.So don’t blame God,blame yourself,He already lay down His rules,and commands,and He set before you a blessing and a curse ,as we see in Deuteronomy 11:26-28,and again in Deuteronomy 30:18-20. What choice did you make? You can change all that right now,just go to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions,then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you,in Jesus Name. Amen. “Beloved,I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,even as thy soul prospereth” 3John 1:2.GOD WANTS YOU TO BE PROSPEROUS.

RELATIONSHIP

Just like how we want a relationship with people,God wants a relationship with us.
The Fundamental Principles of relationships are found in God’s love letter’s to us,in the Bible.
-Love is the FOUNDATION upon which relationships are built. 1Cor 13:1-13.
-Truth (Honesty and Integrity) are the BUILDING BLOCKS for relationships. John 14:6; 8:32.
-Communication CONFIRMS, SUSTAINS and MAINTAINS relationships. 1 Corinthians 1:10; Acts 2:44-47.
-Agreement is the POWER in relationships. Amos 3:3; Acts 2:1-4, 4:32-35; 1:8.
-Christ at the CENTER is the VICTORY in all relationships.
The main reason,most people don’t have a relationship with God is because their heart is not in it, Matthew 15:7-9, says it best :
Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
And this was confirmation of Isaiah 29:11.
However,in John 15:5 Jesus said:
…for without me all of you can do nothing.
1 Cor 15:57
But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to Jesus be all the glory. Amen!
If you don’t have a relationship with God,through His only begotten Son (JESUS), you can get started by going to the top of this blog,click unto the salvation page and follow the instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you for the rest of your life.

Experience the power of God

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
{I John 4:4 }.

Every believer, should experience the power of God within, as 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 says,” And my speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of POWER:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of God.
THE QUESTION IS ?
+Do you have faith in the POWER of God?
+What do you understand about the POWER of God?
+The POWER of God works!
+There is absolutely nothing that the POWER of God cannot do.
+God (Christ Jesus our Lord) is unlimited in POWER. He is Omnipotent!
+In Revelation 19:6 Christ Jesus is the Lord God Omnipotent who Reigns.
#1 Know that the Lord we serve is the Possessor of Unlimited and Everlasting Power (Omnipotent).
•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.

In Matthew 28:18 Jesus said: All POWER is given unto me in Heaven and in Earth.
#2 Know that the POWER of God is not limited by time and space.
+ Time and location is not a barrier to God’s Power. WHY NOT? Because God is Omnipresent (present everywhere).
Psalms 139:7-8
Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (Hell: the place of the dead), behold, You are there.
+The power of God can reach you right now right where you are.
•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.

+In Acts Ch-16 Paul and Silas were attacked by a multitude of people who ripped of their clothes, had them whipped and thrown into prison.
Acts 16:25-26
And at midnight Paul and Silas PRAYED, and SANG PRAISES unto God…
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were OPENED, and every one’s bands were LOOSED.
#3 The Power of God can be experienced through Prayers and Praises unto God.
+I pray that you experience the Power of God and may all that tries to hold you back in life be shaken and broken in the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ!
•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!

BENEFITS for the RIGHTEOUS

The eyes of the Lord ; are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord ; is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord ; is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
{Psalms 34:15-19}

I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice. Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord ; He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him.
[Psalms 37:25, 28-30, 37, 39-40]

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
(Psalms 92:12)

The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish, But He casts away the desire of the wicked. The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The labor of the righteous leads to life, The wages of the wicked to sin. The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom. When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation. The righteous will never be removed, But the wicked will not inhabit the earth. The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, But the perverse tongue will be cut out. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
[Proverbs 10:3, 11-11, 16, 21-21, 25, 30-32 ].

He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.{Proverbs 11:28,30}

The Lord is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.
{Proverbs 15:29 }

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.{1 Peter 3:12-17}

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.{James 5:16}

WHAT’S SALVATION

I realize that their are many people in the world,who don’t even know what salvation is,or what it means. The sad thing is , that there are Christians who don’t know,what it is, and can’t explain it.
LISTEN,
I am not an expert,on salvation,but through the Holy Spirit ,who is the expert,I can say that:
SALVATION is deliverance from sin,and its consequences through Christ Jesus. Or, in simpler terms,it’s being saved from the power of sin,and its penalties which is permanent death and everlasting torment in hell.

Sometimes it’s referred to as deliverance or redemption.
However, the point i am trying to make ,is that,the only person who can deliver us from sin is Jesus Christ,no one else.
Acts 4:12 says,
” Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
1 Timothy 2:3-6,puts it this way:
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time…”
NOTE
To be completely delivered, you must be born again.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 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 3:3, 5-8, 16-21}

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
[Romans 5:6-11]

And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
{Ephesians 2:1-10 }

SPIRITUAL EXAMINATION

Have you ever had a spiritual check up,just to make sure you are walking in righteousness,and talking in the beauty of Holiness.
2 Corinthians 13:5 tells us to,
“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified”.

King David,didn’t trust himself to do it, so he ask God the Doctor of all doctors do it.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. [Psalms 139:23-24].
The truth is that when God does it, you know that it’s done properly, and thoroughly,and He does it with the word.
that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
[Ephesians 5:26-27].

HERE IS WHY WE NEED A SPIRITUAL CHECKUP.
“For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load. Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life”,
(Galatians 6:3-8 )
AFTER SELF EXAMINATION,DOCTOR JESUS, prescription is,
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. 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, according to”,
(Colossians 3:1-10 ).
However, if you have examined yourself,and realized that you are not walking with God,nor know God through His only begotten Son,then go to the top of this blog,and click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you,for the rest of your life.

REMEMBER IT’S BECAUSE OF HIS MERCY

For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”{Romans 9:15}.

Many folks walk around as if they are entitled to life and the things they have,failing or refusing to admit that it’s all because of God’s mercy.

It doesn’t matter how much education, money, fame or whatever you have, it’s only because of God’s mercy why you’re not dead.

LISTEN CLEARLY
“This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through the Lord ’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They  are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord, is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord, is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.” {Lamentations 3:21-25}

IF YOU ARE NOT RICH,IN CHRIST, or THROUGH CHRIST, then you are destitute. Hear this:
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus”.
{Ephesians 2:4-7 }

DID YOU KNOW :
That when you are rich in, and through Christ,then you are truly rich, as 1Peter 1:3- 7 says,
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ”…

What are you sowing into? What or who are you putting all your time and effort into ?
“Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord , Till He comes and rains righteousness on you. You have plowed wickedness; You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, Because you trusted in your own way, In the multitude of your mighty men”,{Hosea 10:12-13} LISTEN
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service”.
[Romans 12:1 ]

If you didn’t accept Jesus Christ, as your Lord ,and savior,you should be calling on Him,like the blind man in Luke 18:36-38
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

DON’T DELAY
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 4:16 }
REMEMBER:
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
[Psalms 23:6]
