ARE YOU READY ?

Wouldn’t it be nice if while everyone is preparing for christmas, Jesus showed up instead. Are you prepared or ready to meet Him ? Would you be happy or sad ? Would you be one of those going or staying ? How is your relationship with God right now ? Is He speaking to you in Revelation 3:15-17 when He said,”I know thy works,that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would that thou wert cold or hot. So,then,because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot,I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest,I am rich ,and increased with goods,and  have need of nothing ,and knowest not that thou art wretched ,and miserable,and poor,and blind,and naked “. Where do you fit into the kingdom of God ?  “Not everyone that saith unto me ,Lord,Lord,shall enter into the kingdom of heaven ,but he that doeth the will of My Father,who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day ,Lord,Lord,have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out demons ? And in thy name done many wonderful works ? And then will I profess unto them ,I never knew you,depart from me ,ye that work iniquity”. What will Jesus say to you if He should return this christmas ? It’s His birthday, we are celebrating,no matter what you want to call it. Do yourself a favor before it’s too late,get acquainted with God,through His only begotten Son ,JESUS.

WHAT’S THE OBJECT OF YOUR DESIRE.

The desire to be rich,and famous or to move up in society has prompt or motivate people to make the wrong decisions,sleep with the wrong folks,or hook up with the wrong crowd. Don’t allow your desires to dictate the choices that you make in life. What is at the top of your priority list ? Is it self,money,family,among other things. My question to you is where does God fit in your list of priorities or desires ? Is He even on the list? If He is not,then you have purchase a one way ticket to hell,but if He is at the top of your list,and the head of your life ,then He will bring all your desires to pass, yes,it’s true,because ,He does not lie as Numbers 23:19 & Titus 1:2 tells us. Therefore,whatever His word says,is true,all it takes is obedience. So for your  desires to be fulfilled ,you must do as He says. Let’s look at His requirement for your hearts desires to be manifested: Psalm 37:4-5 “Delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart, commit thy way unto the Lord,trust also in Him ,and He shall bring it to pass”. 1John 3:22 “And whatever we ask,we receive of Him,because we keep His commandments,and do those things that are pleasing in His sight”. Psalm 84:11 “For the Lord is a sun and shield,the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He with-hold from those who walk uprightly”. Proverbs 8:20-21″I lead in the way of righteous,in the midst of the paths of judgment ,that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance,and I will fill their treasures. 3John 2 “Beloved,I wish above all things,that thou mayest prosper and be in health,even as thy soul prospereth”. Like 12:30-31 says,”Don’t be like the world and seek things,your Father knows that you need those things, But rather seek ye the kingdom of God,and all these things shall be added unto you”. Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,and all these things shall be added unto you”. Deuteronomy 8:18 “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God;for it is He who giveth thee power to get wealth,that He may establish His covenant whicj He swore unto thy fathers,as it is this day”. Galatians 3:20, “And if ye be Christ’s,then are ye Abraham’s seed,and heirs according to the promise”.  Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savoir so that you will be heir’s of God’s promises?

CONTENTMENT

This is the time of year people just get out of control,and most folks are broke,busted and disgusted,because they can never be content,they have to keep up with the Joneses,they have to out do everyone,impress everyone,and go to all un-necessary extremes to accomplish their desires,then end up in debt and wonder why.

But godliness with contentment is great gain,for we brought nothing into this world,and it is certain we carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare,and into many foolish and hurtful lusts,which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil,which,while some coveted after,they have erred from the faith,and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou ,O man of God,flee these things,and follow after,righteousness, Godliness ,faith,love,patience, and meekness. Fight the good fight of faith,lay hold on eternal life [1 Timothy 6:6-12].

So my advice is instead of keeping up with the Jones’, keep up with God in righteousness,instead of impressing people,impress God,and you will see the difference in your life as it changes for the better. Stop living for the devil,and start living for God.

MEDICATION FOR PEACE

When the doctor, who uses us as pigs to experiment the effects of  a medication, we gladly take it without hesitation or questions because we want to feel better. But when the Creator of the universe, gives us the medication of His word we refuse to take it, we question Him, fuss and fight before we comply. Most people lack inner peace because of disobedience, lack of faith, trust, and confidence in God. Why would anyone be miserable, frustrated, worried, or anxious if we take the medication of His word in Philippians 4:6 & 7, which clearly says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Why don’t you have peace as a believer in Christ, when He said in John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

DO YOU WANT PEACE? Acquaint now thyself with Him and be at peace, thereby good shall come unto thee [Job 22:21]. 

Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus open their hearts and mind to receive your medication, which says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee” (Isaiah 26:3). If you want complete peace then take God’s medication for peace. As 2 Thessalonians 3:16 says, “Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.”

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.

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.
