God did not create us to fail,in any form or fashion.For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works,which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them,as we see in Ephesians 2:10 we weren’t designed to fail. Then Isaiah 43:7 says,Even everyone ,who is called by my name;for I have created him for my glory,I have formed him;yea I have made him.God didn’t create us neither to fail nor fall.And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly,and I pray God your whole Spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you,who also will do it.1Thessalonians 5:23. My Father,who gave them to me,is greater than all,and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. John 10:29. Now unto Him who is able to keep you from falling,and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy (Jude 24). As believers,we must know for a fact that,”The Lord knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of temptations,and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished as 2 Peter 2:9 tells us. However ,we see in 2 Thessalonians 3:3-5,”But the Lord is faithful,who shall establish you,and keep you from evil,and we have confidence in the Lord concerning you,that ye both do and will do the things which we command you;and the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God,and into the patient waiting for Christ”.Then Romans 8:1says,”There is,therefore,now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus,who walk not after the flesh,but after the Spirit”. Then to seal the deal,we go to Ephesians 1:11-13 “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance,being predetined according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will,that we should be to the praise of His glory,who first trusted in Christ; in whom ye also trusted,after ye heard the word od truth,the gospel of your salvation;in whom also after ye believed,ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise”. A seal signifies a finished transaction,ownership,and security from the enemy of God.

POWERLESS TO POWERFUL
How do you get from powerless to powerful,from victim to victor,from less than to more than. It’s simple,you have to be connected to the main source of power,for example,if you buy a 60″ Television,you will not enjoy the use of it until you plug it in,and press the power button. This is the reason why some Christians have no power to heal the sick,cast out demons,and trample over all the serpents,scorpions,and over all the power if the enemy,is because,we are not connected to the vine,we are not abiding in Christ Jesus,our ultimate source of power,and as He tells us in John 15 ,we can do nothing without Him. It’s so sad in these latter days,where we are experiencing perilous times as 2 Timothy 3 warns us about,that the church,the body of Christ is embracing,conforming to,and running from the enemy,instead of activating our power,so that the enemy will flee. What is happening to the believers,why false prophets have out numbered God’s anointed prophets,and God’s people are perishing because of lack of knowledge and power,because they are not hearing the word of God to increase their faith and not their bank accounts or status. Money will make you powerless if you think it is the source of your power. The true source of your power is God,the Owner of the universe,and everything in it. The question is who or what are you connected to or plugged into? Would you like to be connected to the source of all divine power? Just go to the top of this blog,click unto the salvation page,and get started. No more power outage or shortage from now on,I am staying connected, will you do the same? Ephesians 6:10 says,”Finally,my brethren,be strong in the Lord,and in the power of His Might”.
2013 In Review. Only God, to Him Be All The Glory, Honor, and Thanks.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 16,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
PLEASING GOD FOR 2014
Our desires,goals,and aspirations from now on,should be to please God in every way possible,with every fiber of our being,that He is so happy with us,that like Job,He can say have you considered my servant………….(insert your name),who is holy,righteous,devoted,and obedient. Or better yet this is my beloved servant in whom I am well pleased. Proverbs 16:7 says,”When a man’s ways please the Lord,He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him”. Is this impossible ? No ,it isn’t there are people in the Bible who did,and people alive today ,who are living lifestyles that’s pleasing to God. Are you one of them? How do we live a life that pleases God. The joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10)which simple means that when God is pleased,with us we are strong in every aspect of our lives. So how do we get God to be pleased and joyful .Romans 12:1-2 says,”I beseech you therefore,brethren,by the mercies of God,that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,holy,acceptable unto God,which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world,but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,that ye may prove what is that good,and acceptable,and perfect,will of God”. However,1 Corinthians 3:16-17 says,”Know ye not that ye are the temple of God,and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God,him shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy,which temple ye are”. Then Ephesians 4:22-32 advises us to ,put off concerning the former conversation the old self,which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,and that ye put on the new man or self,which after God is created in righteousness,and true holiness. Wherefore,putting away lying,speak every man truth with his neighbor,for ye are members one of another. Be angry and sin not,let not the sun go down on your wrath ,neither give place to the devil…let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,but that which is good to the use of edifying,that it may minister grace unto the hearers.. And grieve not the Holy Spirit,by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption… Ephesians 5 says,”Be ye,therefore,followers of God,as dear children,and walk in love,as Christ hath loved us..then it gives us a list of things we should avoid doing as children of God. If we obey God’s word we will have no problem pleasing God. Do you have a relationship with God,and desire to please Him? Just read His word and obey all His commands. Do you want to know God,go to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,and allow Him,to introduce Himself to you.”He hath shown thee,O man what is good,and what doth the Lord require of thee,but to do justly,and to love mercy,and to walk humbly with thy God?”[Micah 6:8].
BELIEVERS PRAYERS FOR 2014.
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him; and that the eyes of our understanding will be enlightened, that we will know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance is in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power. And that we may be filled with the knowledge of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that we may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and long-suffering with joy, this is our prayer, and supplication, with Thanksgiving in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth according to Ephesians 1:17-19,and Colossians 1:9-11. Amen.
After this prayer let’s do as Romans 12:1-2 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Have a blessed,prosperous,and Spirit filled New Year everyone. Just remember what Jude 24 says,” Now unto Him,that is able to keep you from falling,and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,to the only wise God,Our Savior,be glory and majesty,dominion and power,both now and ever,Amen. They who begin the year with God,and live for God,will have long life.
BE A PART OF THE CHANGE
We have change of government, change of location, change of status, change of height, and stature, even change of weather. However, the changes we go through don’t matter because we have a God that never changes, and He never leaves us nor forsakes us. No matter what happens, no matter the changes we go through the fact still remains that thousands of years ago the biggest change in the world was when God proved His love for us, by sending His only begotten Son Jesus, and Jesus proved His love for us by taking our sins and dieing so that we can be free from the curse of sin and death.
Now the question is, with all these changes have you changed your status from death to life, sinner to redeemed, bastard to adopted, lost to found? Have you changed your citizenship from this earth to heaven? Are you willing to change or remain the same? The only one who has not changed is Jesus, and He doesn’t need to because He is good, Holy, righteous, and perfect, and Hebrews 13:8 says,”He is the same yesterday,today,and forever,” and no one can put a claim to that but Him.
However,He is the one we need to follow, and change to be like Him,so that God will be pleased with us, like how, He was with Jesus, when He walked on earth,are you interested and ready for this change? Then click on to the salvation page,at the top of this blog,and get started.
WARNING TO ALL LIARS
These six things doth the Lord hate; yea,seven are an abomination unto Him : A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,feet that are swift in running to mischief,a false witness that speaketh lies,and he that soweth discord among brethren”(Poverbs 6:16-19). Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,but they that deal truly are His delight (Proverbs 12:22). The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor,let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,and blesseth the covetous ,whom the Lord abhorreth. The wicked,through the pride of his countenance,will not seek after God. God is not in all his thoughts” Psalms 10: 2-4. A false witness shall not be unpunished,and he that speaketh lies shall perish (Proverbs 19:9). “Your tongue devises destruction,like a sharp razor,working deceitfully,you love evil more than good,lying rather than speaking righteousness, you love all devouring words,you deceitful tongue,God shall likewise destroy you forever,He shall take you away,and pluck you out of your dwelling place,and uproot you from the land of the living”[Psalm 52:2-5].
However, John 1:9&10 says, “If we confess our sins,He is faithful and just to forgive us,and cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. If we say that we have not sinned,we make Him a liar,and the truth is not in us. Lamentations 3:40 says,”Let us search and try our ways,and turn again to the Lord.”
Then finally Hebrews 3:7-8 says,”Wherefore,as the Holy Spirit saith,Today if ye will hear His voice. Harden not your hearts,as in provocation,in the day of temptation in the wilderness.” How shall we escape,if we neglect so great salvation… Hebrew2:3. “Deliver my soul,O Lord,from lying lips,and from a deceitful tongue.. My soul hath long dwell with him that hateth peace. I am for peace,but when I speak,they are for war”(Psalm 120:2,6,&7).
THE ONLY CELEBRITY THAT CAN’T DIE.
The only celebrity that withstand the test of times,and no matter how they try to replace Him. He is still Wonderful,Counselor,The Mighty God,The Everlasting Father,The Prince of peace,The King of kings,The Lord of lords, Emanuel with us,Born of a Virgin,was wrapped in swaddling clothes,born in a manger,The Mighty deliverer,hope of creation, our chain breaker,our defender,our redeemer,Lord of creation,our healer ,and the only hope of Salvation,and His Name is Jesus,the Name above,every other Name.”Wherefore,God also hath highly exalted Him,and given Him a Name which is above every name, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow,of things in heaven,and things in earth,and things under the earth,and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God,the Father”[Philippians 2:9-11]. Santa Claus or no one can ever or will ever replace Jesus,no matter how hard they try. And if you don’t know Him ,then you better get to know Him before it’s too late. Jesus is the only unspeakable gift christmas has to offer,nothing can replace Him. As Psalms 8:1 says,”O Lord,our Lord,how excellent is thy name in all the earth,who hast set thy glory above the heavens !”
ALLOWING GOD TO CHOOSE YOUR MATE.
Would there be any divorces ,fights or arguments,if we allow God to choose our mate ? Would any couple be unsuitable,or unsatisfied ? He chose for Adam and Eve,and despite the dilemma they found themselves in they stuck together,because they were a suitable match from God. Adam saw her and said, poetically ,and romantically”This is now bone of my bones,and flesh of my flesh..”(Genesis2:23). He was loving every inch of that magnificent creature God designed,created,and chosen just for him. God didn’t make any mistakes when He created Eve. In Genesis 2:18″ And the Lord God said,it is not good that the man should be alone,I will make him an help fit for him”. This simply means God has created a man and a woman that’s perfectly fit for each other. The question is are we willing to trust God,wait on God,and let God choose that person for us? God is still in the match making business,and He has no intentions of retiring. And He is 100% accurate and certain who is your perfect mate or match. King Lemuel in Proverbs 31:10 ask,”who can find a virtuous woman ? For her price is far above rubies”. This sounds like someone who doesn’t trust God, but in Proverbs 31:30,he said,” Favor is deceitful,and beauty is vain,but a woman who feareth the Lord,she shall be praised”. However,if you are a woman looking for a good man Psalms 37:23says,”The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,and he delighteh in his way”. So who should you go to when you are in search for the perfect mate ? Go to God ,He created us all,and He definitely doesn’t look at outward appearance,He looks at the heart as 1 Samuel 16:7 tells us. Remember that God warns us that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked ;who can know it? I the Lord, search the heart ,I test the conscience ,even to give every man according to his ways ,and according to the fruit of his doings (Jeremiah 17:9-10). There are many devices in a man’s heart ,nevertheless ,the counsel of the Lord,that shall stand,according to Proverbs 19:21. Therefore,why wouldn’t you want God to make the decision and choose for you,it will save you a trip to divorce court,heartaches,and pains,trials,and tribulations,instead do as Romans12:1-2 says,and present your body as a living sacrifice,that is Holy and acceptable unto God ,which is your reasonable service,and you can’t be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,so that you can prove what is that good ,acceptable,and perfect ,will of God. Or that good and perfect man from God,so keep yourself pure,and let God choose. In Luke 1:28-30,Mary found favor with God,because she was pure,holy,righteous,faithful,and devoted to God. Wouldn’t you like be in Mary’s shoes ;where God rewards you,with the favor of a good mate,because of your faithfulness in His sight.
CHOICES
The choices we make in life will at some point come back to bite and try to destroy us. It is a fact that if you lay with dogs, you will rise with flees. Which means if you lay down with the devil you will get burned, or what you sow you will reap, better yet, they who sin with you, will sin against you. “Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap, for he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” (Galatians 6:7-8).
The good news is once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, Romans 8:1 says, “There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Therefore, the choices and decisions you make will be Godly oriented and orchestrated, based on Proverbs 3:5-6 which says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.”
Are you making the right choices in life that will impact your future instead of ruining it? Where is your final destination? Heaven or hell. Did you make that decision or choice yet? Tomorrow is promised to no one, but heaven and hell is. Deuteronomy 30:19 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.”
What is your choice today? The job, the house, the car, the spouse, your education, all that is not as important as the choice to live in eternity or be tormented in a lake of fire and brimstone. Make the right choice now to live for God. Go to the top of this blog to the salvation page and get started.
