PURIFICATION

There are things in life, for some it’s a no brainer, while others have to analyze, dissect, and just make it more complicated than it really is. Now if you surround yourself with the filth, and garbage of this world, there will be no room for purification or cleansing to manifest itself, As the saying goes garbage attracts garbage. Who or what are you attracted to, or is attracted to you? why not purge or purify yourself from the filth of this world.

For purification to be activated, one must first clear a path, because it starts internally, then radiates externally. For God to work on you, in you, and through you; we must give Him access to enter into our hearts, then our mind. The heart is the storage facility for good and evil, out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts (Matthew 15:19, Luke 6:45), the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9), the heart knoweth its own bitterness(Proverbs 14:10). Now you understand why purification has to start with the heart (James 4:8), David tells us to hide Gods word in our hearts, so that we will not sin against God(Psalms 119:11). God knows once He captivates our hearts, He will be the object and focal part of our lives. Therefore, He has to work from within so the manifestation of His love, compassion, and beauty will be seen on the outside of us. Lets start by submitting to God today, so He can clean the junk out of our trunk, bury the skeletons in our closet. Yes I know old habits are hard to die, but that’s just an excuse the devil uses to keep us defeated, but it’s when we submit to God, and resist him(devil), then he(devil) will flee (James 4:7), God also promise never to leave or forsake us (Hebrew 13:5). David tells us that, ‘he has been young and now that he is old, yet he has never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread (Psalms 37:25). In life it is who you are attracted to that gets your undivided attention, time, and effort then it is returned to you in like manner. Well folks, the same principle applies to God, ‘Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). If you surround yourself with the filth, and garbage of this world, then God will not be able to get through to you, therefore start cleaning, cleanse yourself, come on free yourself, and shake yourself loose from all the filth, and garbage of this world, give Him your life today. Purify your hearts, clear your minds from double mindedness it only makes you unstable, unproductive, and leads straight to hell. Just submit to God, He will do the rest.

If you don’t know how to, and want to accept Him, go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions, it will be the best decision you ever make.

I give God the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to get this message out, I pray that you will  purify yourself, so that the beauty of Jesus will be seen in you, and you will allow Him to lead you, and guide you the rest of the way, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THE CHRISTIANS CHECK-UP

As Christians we need to stop going over the basics of Christianity over and over again. At some point in our Christian walk we should be able to hear and know the voice of God clearly, we should be able to pray for ourselves and know and believe that He will hear and answer our prayers. “Surely we don’t need to start all over again with the importance of turning away from evil deeds, and placing our faith in God. You don’t need further instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgement…” ( Hebrew 6: 1-3). Why are some Christians going backward instead of forward, regressing instead of progressing? Are they losing hope, faith and trust in these latter days, in these  perilous times, when we as Christians should be praying without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5 :17), and watching (Mark 13:33).

“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers” ( 1 Peter 4:7). “For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the son of God, and put Him to an open shame “ (Hebrews 6:4-6). As Christians now is not the time to be complacent, now is the time to let the world see and know what God has been doing for us and through us, and besides us the Bible gives us a great cloud of witnesses, let us get rid of every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress, and let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us, and keeping our eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…(Hebrew 12:1-2).

For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown towards His name, in that you have ministered to the saints and do minister, 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 (Hebrew 6:10 -12). God wants us to tell others what He has done for  us, and still doing today, so that people will know and understand that there is a God who loves and cares for them. What have you done for God lately? Who have you told of the wonderful things that He has done for you? Who have you told of His only begotten Son who has made a way for us to go to our heavenly Father daily? Who have you told that the only way to God is through Jesus Christ (His only begotten Son) written in John 3:16 and John 14:6. It’s time for us as Christians to show the world who we really are, and to whom we  truly belong. If you don’t know God or His son, or you want to rededicate your life to God, go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, follow the instructions, and pray the salvation prayer.

Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, be glory, honor and praise to the Almighty God who reigns forever more. Amen!

THE REMEDY FOR ENEMY

God has the remedy for those who are tired, depressed, discouraged, depleted of life and energy, and want to give up. Sometimes we forget that we are in a battle, against good and evil. Even though we forget and let our guard down, the enemy never lets up; he has our backs against the wall, with recession, unemployment, loss of loved ones, and stress, and we reach a point where we would love to give up. However, God reminds us that His grace is sufficient for us, because His strength is made perfect in our weakness {2 Corinthians 12:9}, and that the battle is not ours it is His as 2 Chronicles 20:15 tells us. So even though we are tired of fighting, He encourages us not to get weary in well-doing. Ephesians 6:10 tells us to be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.

Since, we are in the battle of our lives, Ephesians 6:11-18 advises us to put on the armor of God as soon as we open our eyes in the morning.  Putting on the armor of God and walking in it will give us the advantage, because we have the best commander-in-chief in the world, who has never lost a battle from when He walked on earth. As a song says, “…up from the grave He arose with a mighty triumph of His voice, He arose with victory from the dark domain, and lives forever in eternity,” therefore, we have to dress for battle and use every weapon God has made available to us. So let’s go through our armor briefly so that you may be equipped.

Remember we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places; wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand. Stand having your loins girded about with truth (some people call it the belt of truth). You have to know the truth in order to be liberated, in mind, body and Spirit; the truth is, all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. 1 John 1:9 says, when we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Then Romans 8:1 says there is no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but the Spirit; this automatically destroys the devils lies and liberates you of any bondage.

Next, we put on the breastplate of righteousness, which keeps us in right standing with God. This means doing what Romans 12:1-2 tells us, which is to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is our reasonable service, and be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by renewing our minds. Remaining righteous means that God has your mind, body and soul, therefore no weapons formed against you can prosper, and every tongue that rises up against you in judgement is condemned, because this is the heritage of the righteous {Isaiah 54:17}.

You have to be in Christ to be able to suit up with the armor of God. Receive Jesus in to your heart today and begin your walk with Him throughout your life.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I loose the Holy Spirit and this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

ARMED ‘N’ DANGEROUS

A man walking down the street with a 9mm handgun, is  considered to be armed and dangerous, yes, if he knows how to use it, and how many bullets he has .

This is how people should look at a Christian with the armor of God on. Armed  and dangerous or deadly, but the same rules apply, do they know how to use it, and how much word do they have in them. Listen you can’t fire a gun with no bullets, you can’t rebuke, or resist the devil, with no Bible verses in you. Jesus, told him, ‘it  is written'(Matt 4:4, 7, 10).He had the word of God in Him, and He was the word.

Demons should tremble and flee when they see the Christian coming, the spirit of sickness and diseases should be leaping out of bodies, before we touch the sick.

The armor is not only for defensive purposes, it is also for offensive maneuvers, but if you don’t know it’s use and purposes, how are you going to stand, and defeat the enemy.

Ok, lets put it on together so we can stand: (Ephesians 6:10-18)

(1) THE BELT OF TRUTH – we must make a honest, self-examination and evaluation of ourselves. Both spiritually and naturally, are we in right standing with God, do you know the truth, JESUS(John 14:6). Does the truth set you free(John 8:31-32).

(2)THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – this protects your heart, which is your spirit in the inner most part of your being, this allows the others parts to work right, God loves to dwell here, if you have a relationship with Him.(Psalm 119:11)

(3)SHOES OF PEACE – this keeps you in harmony with God, it’s tranquility, serenity, and quietness, which keeps the turmoil out, so you can hear from God clearly (Romans 12:18).

(4)THE SHIELD OF FAITH – this blocks everything, that is contrary to Gods word, and protects all the other armor, Eph.6:16 tells us this is the one, you need to grab quickly.

(5)THE HELMET OF SALVATION – this is your head protection, to cast down all imaginations, doubts, and  fears the enemy tries to put in you.(2 Corinthians 10:3-5; 2 Timothy 1:7)

(6)THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – the armor was built on this,(a) the word of God ,(b)Jesus Name, who is the word(John 1:1).Hebrew 4:12 tells us this is our power and strength.

Now, to put less work on the armor, we must pray in the spirit, this is our secret weapon which is like, a sniper with a AK47 assault rifle, picking off or killing the enemy from a distance, before it gets close to us. This clears the path for Gods, supernatural power to be manifested, thus giving us the victory in Jesus name. This is just a brief summary of the power of the armor, please study it in details to get the full benefit.

If you are interested, in this type of protection, which leads to everlasting life, go to the top of the blog, and click the salvation part, and follow the instructions. TO GOD BE THE GLORY, AMEN.

THE TRUTH NEVER HURTS/PREACHING DESPITE THE ODDS

No matter what the consequences are, it is much better to tell the truth than to lie. Most people don’t like to hear the truth about anything, they would rather live a lie, a fantasy, a figment of their imagination, some prefer to die in their sins and hide their shame pretending as if everything is so good when it’s not.

The Bible says, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free,” yet most people refuse to hear the truth and so they remain imprisoned in their minds and sins. They’ve come to the point of thinking that sinning is good; idolizing their home, cars and prestige, while living in disobedience to the God who created the heavens, earth and everything in it.  They continue to reject God and the truth, Jesus Christ, which John 14:6 tells us is, the way, the truth, and the life and no one goes to God, our Creator, without going through Him (Jesus).

So, why continue to believe the devils lies and tales which are deceiving and keeps you away from the truth? Paul in Acts 20:20 followed Jesus by being about God’s business by revealing the truth about God, His existence, His unfailing love, compassion and mercies toward mankind. Paul informed those that would listen that God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die for our sins and at the appointed time, raised Him up in three days. The same Jesus that was raised after three days is the same Jesus who is now sitting at God’s right hand interceding for us. Why is it so hard for many to believe this?

As Christians, like Jesus, Paul and so many others, our main job and concern, despite the abuse, trials and tribulations is to spread the message of Jesus Christ. We are to share the news of the one who died for us so that we can be free from the bondage and lust of sin; which only entices us to go to hell. The only alternative from going to hell is to turn away from sin and turn to God through Jesus Christ our redeemer.

As a Christian, your life is worthless if you haven’t told anyone about Jesus Christ and everything He has done for you since the cross until now. If you have nothing to tell then you are not authentic; you are just like a fake dollar bill — worth nothing. (John 15:1-6) What awaits us in eternity is better than anything this world has to offer because the gold we cherish and spend so much money for is what the streets of heaven are made of in eternity, this is what the book of Revelation tells us. So where is the better place to live, Earth or Heaven?

Start sharing the word of God and what God has personally done in your life with those around you. You can take the time now to visit the salvation page so that you may know who Christ is by drawing closer to Him through relationship – welcoming Him into your heart.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

WHY BLAME GOD?

Every problem, trial, tribulation and crisis that occurs in life people want to blame God or someone else for it.What I fail to understand is why people blame God when the “person” who is the source and catalyst for all this mess is the devil. So why are you blaming God? He didn’t put us in the predicaments or conditions we are in. We all make our own choices and decisions without acknowledging Him but if we include Him in our plans He will put us on the right path.

Proverbs 3:5-6 distinctly tells us to,”Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding; In all thy ways acknowledge Him (God), and He shall direct your path.” Once again I ask why are you blaming God? Did you follow His instructions and if you didn’t then you know who messed up, you did. Listen, when you mess up you have to fess up (confess). Admit you followed and listened to the men of this world as well as your desires and not GOD of the universe. The last being you should ever point a finger to in condemnation is God. While you’re pointing your finger the devil is rejoicing and laughing at you.The devil is our biggest adversary and enemy. He accuses us daily in front of God. He is trying to get us to fail and he will not stop, why, because his intentions are for us to go to hell and burn for all eternity with him. How do I know he is the one to be blamed for our trials, tribulations, problems, and burdens? Well lets take a look at Revelation 12:7-11 which reads:

“And war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer, so the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old called the devil and satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,”Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ has come, for the accuser of  our brethren, who accused them before our God, day and night, has been cast down and they overcame  him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death …woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that his time is short.”

Now that you see who is really to be blamed you can quit blaming God? Another example is found in the book of Job where he (Job) was accused by satan, because all the devil does is run up and down the earth, like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Job 1:7 and 1 Peter 5:8 tells us that is all the devil does, satan seeks the ones who are weak in their faith or the non believer to devour. In 1 Peter 5:8  we are told to be sober and vigilant. We cannot afford to give the devil an inch, because he will take a yard, and before you know it he fully takes over. Come on folks lets identify the real culprit and stop blaming God.

How are we living for God? Can He (God) brag about us to satan like he did in Job 2:3 where God said to satan,”Hast thou considered my servant Job…who is a perfect and upright man,one that feareth God and despises evil…”  Can God say that about you? Have you accepted God’s gift of His only begotten son? Well here is your opportunity. Go to the top of this blog, click on the salvation page and follow the instructions. For further studies and follow-up on God’s word go to www.riversofrevival.com.

All praises, glory honor and thanks go to the immortal, invisible, the only wise God. Thank you for using me as one of your servants to deliver this message to your people. May He give you spiritual wisdom, knowledge and understanding so that you may hear what the spirit of the Lord says. In Jesus name, Amen.

VACATION OF A LIFETIME

Don’t you just like to take vacations to escape from the hustle and bustle of life; like work, bills, and even people who you encounter everyday? Whatever the reason is we all like to take a break. However, the question of a lifetime is: How many people are prepared for the vacation of a lifetime? There are many exotic, romantic and fun places all around the world, but how about the ultimate place of a lifetime called Heaven. Yes it exists, and it will be the vacation of a lifetime, while hell is a vacation site no one wants to be at, except the devil and his people. The next question is, are you prepared for the vacation of a lifetime? Where there are no bills, no stress, no sickness, aches or pains, sorrows, no death, isn’t that a place where you would love to go?

This is a vacation you don’t need money to go to. You can’t buy or rent a spot. There are some things that money can’t buy and Heaven is one of them. The only requirement to get to this vacation place of a lifetime is by accepting God’s personal love gift of His only begotten Son whose name is Jesus. As written in John 3:16-17, “For God so love the world, that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life,” which is the vacation of a lifetime. Why is Jesus the only way, because God sent Him to be the way. In John 14:6, Jesus told us that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one goes to the Father (God) without going through Him. How many vacations have you taken that’s already paid for?

This vacation of a lifetime is already paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth on Calvary, to redeem us,as written in Ephesians 1:7 and Colossians 1:14 that we are redeemed through or by His blood. There are other scriptural proof like 1 Peter 1:19 and Revelation 7:14 and a whole lot more that tells us that Jesus already paid for this vacation of a lifetime. The only requirement is for us to accept Jesus and live for God in Spirit and in truth, in righteousness and obedience to God’s word. Why is it so hard to present our bodies as living sacrifices that is Holy and acceptable unto God which is our reasonable service (Romans 12:1-2)? This is how we prepare ourselves  for the vacation of a lifetime in heaven.

What does the world have to offer that is better than this futuristic vacation of a lifetime? Are you ready to take the step that will guarantee your place for the vacation of a lifetime? If so then go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. Don’t stop at just receiving Salvation. Find a Bible believing church, with people who are followers of Jesus Christ so 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, in Jesus’ name.

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. In Jesus name, Amen

A BACKSLIDER

Are you a backskider? Who do you consider a backslider? A backslider is one who gave up their sinful ways,then return. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb,The dog is turned ti his own vomit again;and the sow that was washed,to her wallowing in the mire{Proverbs 26:11;2 Peter 2:22} .If you gave up your sinful ways and return to it, God says,”For if,after they have escaped the pollutions of the of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior,Jesus Christ,they are again entangled in it,and overcome,the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than,aftet they have known it,to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them”{ 2Peter 2:20-21}. However,Ezekiel 18:24 says,”But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness,and committeth iniquity,and doth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth,shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned;in his trespass that he hath trespassed ,and in his sin that he hath sinned,in them shall he die”.
