WHY FIGHT AND BE TROUBLED

Why fight when you have someone to fight for you. Why worry when you have someone who is willing, able, and capable of fighting for you. How many times has God told us: fear not, fret not, & worry not instead “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God; and the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus,” according to Philippians 4:6-7. This is the reason why you see some people are so calm, cool, and collective when they are faced with or in the middle of a crisis. They know how to pray and who they are praying to.

So why worry or fight if you can pray and like God told them in Exodus 14:13-14, “Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians you see today, you shall see no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

The Egyptians we fight today, are described for us in Ephesians 6:12 as principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Therefore to fight, we pray. Ephesians 6:18 tells us,”praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”

We are all soldiers in God’s army, fighting the same enemy, so it’s very important for us to pray for  and encourage each other. The battle is not ours, it is God’s (2 Chronicles 20:15-17); and no matter what the enemy throws at us, Romans 8:37 says, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. And we can say, “But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” [1 Corinthians 15:57]. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ, and be ready to punish every disobedience, when your own submission and obedience are fully secured and complete.(2 Corinthians 10:3-6).

Always remember prayers go where we can’t go, do things we can’t do and give God access to move on our behalf.

In Matthew 26:41, Jesus tells us to watch and pray. Because our enemy is like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. John 10:10 informs us, which means he never sleeps, he is always alert, and prepared to take full advantage, but if it don’t look right go pray, if it don’t feel right go pray, if it don’t smell right go pray, prayer puts you on top, and the enemy under your feet. Prayer activates Luke 10:19, power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy.

So stop worrying, fighting, and go pray. If you don’t know God, nor have accepted the gift of His Son go to the salvation page at the top of this blog. If you don’t know how to pray start with Matthew 6:9-13, and Nehemiah 1:4-11, (Nehemiah’s prayer) or find the post on prayer and effective praying in this blog. The best thing to do is ask the Holy Spirit, He is the best teacher in this world and beyond. And remember Hebrew 13:5-6, “Let your conduct be without covetousness;be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said,”I will never leave you nor forsake you.

So we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper, I will not fear,what can man do to me?” Then read Isaiah 43:1-5, for support.

LIBERATED by THE WORD

Know Christ and know freedom. No Christ means no freedom. To be truely liberated through the Word of God you have to believe the word without a shadow of doubt, fear, or questions. “The entrance of God’s word bringeth forth light” [Psalms 119:130] . Why? Because,His word is a lamp unto our feet,and a light unto our path says ,Psalm119:105. Which means,you have to accept and receive the word as truth. But to believe, accept and receive it you must know for a fact that God exist,and He does not lie, and He stands by His word. However ,if you can’t accept it, then you will never be truely free. People fail to realize that,some of the folks behind prison bars have freedom in mind,body and spirit,than those walking around outside ,because,they accept Jesus Christ and His kind of freedom. If you have more bills than money to pay them then the bills have you locked up, anxieties,pains,stress are some of the things that have many folks incarcerated,wrapped up,tied up,and tangled up.

What is freedom to you? To me it is to be totally free from the sins of this world,like the lust of the flesh,lust of the eyes,and the pride of life,that so easily entices us to disobey God,the Owner of the universe. “Now the Lord is Spirit;and where the Spirit of the Lord is,there is liberty” [2Corinthians 3:17]. However,Jesus said ,”If ye continue in my word,then are ye my disciples indeed,and ye shall know the truth,and the truth shall make you free.. If the Son,therefore,shall make you free,ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:31,32,36). For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death(Romans 8:2). “Stand fast,therefore,in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free,and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage” says,Galatians 5:1. To be totally liberated in mind,body,and spirit is to know Christ the liberator. If you are interested in letting Him free you totally,then go to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,and get started.

“BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY.”

“Behold, I Come Quickly.”

How often do we hear a statement like that?  Are you ready? Are you prepared? The question is do we believe it and if you do not believe it then you are taking a big risk with your future because Jesus said it. I would rather trust and depend on Jesus, than take a chance with the devil.

Is Jesus really coming back as He said in John 14:1-3, “Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” When Jesus walked on the earth He didn’t lie, so wouldn’t you believe Him? He was the only one who died for us and as John 14:6 says, He is the way the truth, and life, and no one goes to God without going through Him.

Aren’t you just a little curious to see what a street of pure gold, that looks like glass looks like (Rev.21:21)? How about getting a chance to see a new heaven and earth, where God shall wipe away all tears from your eyes, and there is no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any pain, for the former things are passed away as Revelation 21:1-4 said. Whose word are you willing to believe? The skeptics, who have never left earth? Or Jesus who has been here and is there preparing to come get us? So let’s do as Jesus said. Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come, therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh (Matthew 24:42 & 44).

Some people like to say that they’ve been hearing that same story from when their grandmother was alive; that does not make it false. Because, 2 Peter 3:8-9 says, “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

Now it’s up to each individual if they want to believe or not, accept God’s offer or not. Yet, one thing for sure is that God’s words are faithful and true… Behold, I come quickly, blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book as Revelation 22:6 -7 says. I can live with that, if He comes now i am ready, can you say the same? If not go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and get ready before He returns.

WHAT DO YOU SEEK OR DESIRE ?

What are you seeking or desiring from God? Is it fame, fortune, healing, peace, joy, happiness, or love, etc? Are they for short-term or long-term? Are these things for temporary or long-term use and satisfaction?

It’s not bad to seek these things, but have you ever  considered seeking the Owner and Ceator of all these things; which will be beneficial for short and long-term use. God promises that if we seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness,then all these things shall be added unto you [Matthew 6:33]. There is the simple answer. Luke 12:32 adds, “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you  the Kingdom.” King David realized that the way to get God’s attention was to seek Him. In Psalm 27:4 he said, “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.” However, one of the main reasons David desired and sought God, is because he found out that in the presence of the Lord, there is fullness of joy, and at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11).

So whatever is your hearts desire, why not get connected to God first then allow Him to do the rest.

To get connected just go to the top of this page and click on the salvation page. Then just follow the instructions.

IS IT YOURS OR GOD’S

Isn’t it amazing how people love to claim things that’s not theirs. They write a book using God’s words to inspire and motivate you, and take credit for it, they bought a house and it’s theirs, the car is theirs,and everything they can put a claim to, a mark or their name to it and on it. Totally forgetting and ignoring what Psalms 24  says, “THE EARTH IS THE LORDS, AND THE FULLNESS THEREOF; THE WORLD, AND THEY WHO DWELL THEREIN.” Exodus 9:29,1Corinthians 10:26 among other scriptures confirms this.

However, if you have doubts, whenever it rains,snow, thunders or lightening strikes the skies,then you will know who owns and controls the earth. Please don’t wait until you die to find out or to know Him and accept His unspeakable gift.

Why would you claim to write the book, when 2 Corinthians 2:14 clearly says, “Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge.” It’s not yours,it’s His.

In John 15:5 Jesus said without me you can do nothing. Why are people charging you for what God gives us for free, I guess they forget what Matthew 10:8b says, “FREELY YE HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.” So stop paying for God’s word, it’s for free.

If you don’t know the God who owns everything, go to the top of this blog to the salvation page and introduce yourself to him.

DEMONSTRATED LOVE

Most folks will tell you that they love you, but until they prove it don’t believe it, fall for, or surrender to it. Because action speaks louder than words.

We know that God loves us by all the things He did to prove it. God clearly  proved and demonstrated His unconditional love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). The question is what are you doing, to prove your love for Him?

Don’t you think that after all He has done for you, that the least you can do is love Him back, by demonstrating your love for Him in your lifestyle.

When you refuse to love Him, it’s proof of your selfishness or your hatred for Him. Aren’t you afraid that He might not wake you up one day or prevent that accident you are heading into.

What or who is it that’s stopping you from loving your Creator? Are they worth you sacrificing your Heavenly future for unquenchable fire and brimstone? When all you have to do is love God and accept His unspeakable gift of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. This is not hard to do.
Romans 10:9 &13 says, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Then, verse 13 says, “Whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.” To confirm this, 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” We were all born in sin and shaped in iniquity, but His love for us givrs us a chance to change our status from unsaved to saved, unrighteous to righteous, unloved to loved. Why would you refuse this offer?

WHO IS IN CONTROL ?

It seems like women have less worries, than men. Why? Because they only have one head to think with. It’s no wonder, they think that they are smarter. The problem is men are blessed with two heads,which creates a big problem of which one is in control when we allow the one with no brain to dictate and manipulate us. It takes us down a path that’s not healthy, wealthy, nor wise, because it reduces our capability of being the head instead of the tail, which puts the woman in a position of dominance, because you are chasing the tail, which is temporary satisfaction. But the choice is ours.

No matter what you are chasing be it a woman, man, fame, fortune, or God the choice is yours, and it doesn’t matter if you got one head or two, the brain is what makes the decision as to who you will serve.Deuteronomy 30:19 & 20 says, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death,blessing and cursing; therefore, choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live, that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him,for He is thy life, and the length of thy days…”

I don’t know about you, but I love this life insurance policy, that doesn’t lapse or expire. And this puts the control of my life into God’s hands, when I follow His instructions.

Are you in control of your life? Or is God in control? Or worse, is the devil controlling your life? I would suggest that you allow God to be in control,because He has better things lined up for you than the devil will ever have, and what the devil thinks he has it all belongs to God.

So be smart. Seek God today. Just go to the Salvation page at the top of this blog, and follow the instructions. Come now,and let us reason together,saith the Lord,though your sins be as scarlet,they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson,they shall be as wool,if you be willing and obedient,you shall eat the good of the land (Isaiah 1: 18-19). Look unto me ,and be saved,all the ends of the earth,for I am God,and there is none else. I have sworn by myself ,the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness,and shall not return,that unto me every knee shall bow,every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say,in the Lord have I righteousness and strength,even to Him shall men come ,and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed.(Isaiah 44:22-24).

HEALTH CARE

There is a better health care plan than the Obama health care plan and it’s for everyone. It’s called the Jesus health care plan because He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed of all sickness and diseases. All we have to do is accept and believe in His plan.
God says, beloved I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health as your soul prospers. Is your soul prospering?

What these millionares in congress fail to realize is that when sickness and diseases hit,  their money, political influence and power will not heal or deliver them from what God has in store for them for oppresing poor people who God says are blessed. Who God has blessed no man can curse, so let them keep messing with the Lord God omnipotent who reigns forever. Their day is coming.

People who are healthy don’t need a physician, not health care coverage. As Ephesians 1:18-19 says, that the eyes of our understanding will be opened.

Tears

Tears are often associated with grief, hurt and pain that makes us distraught, angry and sorrowful. Sometimes we are moved to tears by the ungreatfulness of others; be it the child you work so hard to send to college and they turn their back on you or the spouse you helped and when they got to the top they dumped you.

Now since we are made in God’s image and likeness then it means He feels the same about us when we are ungrateful, unfaithful and turn to other ‘gods’. That makes God cry and when He cries me know it because we call it rain. We cry when one person hurts us hurt us, He cries because billions of people hurt Him by turning their backs on Him, being disobedient and disrespectful in His face with no shame. he wakes up every morning, clothes us in our right mind and  most people don’t even acknowledge Him much less thank Him. And the only time they remember Him is when they are in trouble or need something.

Thank You God that You are merciful, loving, kind and faithful even when we are not. We are sorry for upsetting You so severely that it has caused You to pour out tears of rain on the earth and fill the skies with thunder and lightning.
When there is thunder and lightning it means our acts are at the abominable stage, so much so that God has to throw a fit. However, when the righteous cry (be it tears or a shout for help) Psalm 34:17-19 says the righteous cry and the LORD heareth and delivereth them out of their troubles. The LORD is near unto those who are of a broken heart and saveth such as be of a contrite (heart) spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

God’s promise to the Israelites in Exodus 6:5-7 becomes our assurance that God hears our cries and will deliver us.

Also remember the times when Jesus wept. Regarding Martha, Mary and Lazarus in John 11: 1-37 and over the state of Jerusakem in Luke 19:41-44.
