CURSE REVERSED

The devil will define and confine you because his job is to steal, kill and destroy you, but Jesus changed all of that by reversing the curse.

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

Jesus redeemed and the Holy Spirit has sealed us until the day of redemption. Therefore there is now no more condemnation to those who are in CHRIST JESUS who walk after the Spirit and not the flesh.

“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” Ephesians 4:30

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1

So present your body as a living sacrifice, that is Holy and acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service and stop being conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

“I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1, 2

Now to Him who 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 forever. Amen. (Jude 24, 25)

DO YOU KNOW OR LOVE HIM?

To know Him, is to love Him, and to love Him requires a relationship with Him. Most people think that they know someone when they have a casual relationship with them, but if you never spend quality time with a person how can you say you know them, or love them. Most people say they love Jesus or God, but the only time they remember Him is on Sunday, they only acknowledge Him when they are in trouble or need something, and they never obey His commands, or keep His word. However, Jesus said in John 14:21 & 23, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him… If a man loves me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”

What people fail to understand is that just going through the motions of going to church every Sunday or whenever you go, or just singing on the choir, or just serving in some capacity in the church, does not mean that you know God and are guaranteed a trip to eternity or everlasting life. How do I know that? Read it for yourself in Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone that saith unto me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father 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.”

We should all examine ourselves to make sure that we are worshiping, serving and loving God in Spirit and in truth, as John 4:24 says, “God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him, must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.” One of the truths and proofs of our love for God is not to love the world and its things, 1 John 2:15 warns us, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

Where most people have it twisted, and confused, is that God gives us all things, but as 1 Timothy 6:17 says, it is to richly enjoy, not to be worshiped or put before Him. That is why I love Paul’s advise in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, especially to those who are ministers of the gospel, “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it; and everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore, I run thus: Not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: Not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” Another good advise is found in Hebrews 12:14-15, “Follow peace with all men, and Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord, looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and by it many be defiled.” However, Jesus, advises us in Matthew 26:41 to, “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.” 1 Peter 4:7 says, “But the end of all things is at hand, be ye therefore, sober-minded and watch unto prayer.” 1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

Will you be ready to go if Jesus returns right now? Do you know Him personally through having a relationship with Him? Or are you a fake and a pretender just going through the motions? Well it’s time to make that choice and that stand for Christ today. Just go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page and follow the instructions.

Update. I’m Back!

I was out for awhile because the enemy will try to derail, steal, kill and destroy the call on our lives, but fear cannot cripple love, shatter hope, eradicate faith, steal peace, or destroy trust. Fear cannot assasinate friendship, close out memories, shut up courage, or invade the soul, nor can it quench the Spirit, or take our power. Why? Because 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a sound mind.”
Luke 10:19 says, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Activate your faith not your fear. So that you can move the mountain of anything that’s contrary to God’s word. Matthew 17:20

I’m back and better than before!

JESUS TOOK CARE OF IT

Many times we allow the pressures and problems of life to overwhelm and overcome us, forgetting that Jesus came and bore our griefs, sorrows and every sin that we inherited from Adam’s fall. Therefore, when trouble strikes and disappointments of all kinds come knocking at our door just go to Isaiah 53:5 and tell the enemy that, “Jesus was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed.” Jesus not only heals us from sickness and disease, He liberates us from the sting of death and the grave, as we see in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 when He got up on the third day and successfully declared, “O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?” But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through out Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, we must remember that God has established us in Christ, anointed us, sealed us and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts as 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 says. Yes, we have all sinned and fall short of God’s glory, but the good news is we are all justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past (read Romans 3:23-27).

I have said all that to say, because Jesus bears or took care of it all for us, let us loose the baggage and cares of sin and do as 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to, cast all our cares on the Lord, because He cares for us. Furthermore, Isaiah 53:4 tells us He has borne our grief’s and carried our sorrows, to the cross and He buried or tossed it in the sea of forgetfulness.

Life will never be easy, but we have the advantage because God is on our side, and he promises never to leave us or forsake us, He promises to fight for us to the bitter end.

“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:4-6

FOOLISH THINGS MATTER

Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29

Consider reading yesterday’s post, Blessed People.

VENGEANCE BELONGS TO GOD

It is one of the hardest things to do – forgiving someone that has done nothing but evil to you. As a Christian it is a requirement to forgive in spite of and regardless of how we feel because we have to represent and display the love of God, grace, mercy and compassion that God shows us. That’s why Jesus said, Father forgive them for they know not what they do (Luke 23:34). As a Christian our forgiveness from God is contingent or based on us forgiving others. Matthew 6:9-13 is where Jesus instructs us on how to pray; it is part of our contract with God to forgive.

God does not want His children to be conformed to the tactics of the world, but to be different, be transformed, leave the vengeance to Him, let Him repay the persons who do you harm. Therefore, He is asking us to love without discrimination. In other words, be sincere and not hypocritical, hate evil and do good, be kindly affectionate to each other with brotherly love, in honor give preference to one another, don’t lag in diligence, fervent in Spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfast in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Try not to be wise in your own eyes. KEY: Repay no one with evil, provide good and honest things in the sight of men and if it is possible live at peace with everyone. (Read Romans 12:10-21)

 “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;” Hebrews 12:15

As Hebrew 12:15 tells us we can’t afford to have a, “root of bitterness” instead of righteousness. Revenge captivates us and leads us to sin, but forgiveness liberates us so that we can serve God in spirit and truth.

IT’S ALL IN THE PRAISE

Some people associate the scripture that says, “The Lord loves a cheerful giver,” with only money, tithes and offerings. But God loves you more when you give Him your heart, attention and time cheerfully (its value is more than the money you give). Plus remember that He owns the world, including everything and everyone in it. That is why in Psalm 100 He tells us how He wants us to come into His presence; He wants us to make a joyful noise unto Him.

“I will bless the Lord at all times His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; and healeth all thy diseases; who redeems thy life from destruction; and crowns thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfies thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles.” (Psalm 34:1;Psalm 103:1-5)

So give praise unto the Lord!

FADE

Flowers are pretty when they bloom. When the snow falls for the first time and covers everything in white it is so beautiful. When you buy gold that is not gold it glistens, but as the saying goes, “Everything that glistens is not gold.” Which brings us to the conclusion that over a period of time everything fades away. However, over the centuries or decades one will see that the only thing that never fades or is varnished, is God’s word. Isaiah 40:8 eloquently says, “The grass withers, the flower fades but the word of our God stands forever.”

For anyone not to realize that God’s word is true and stands forever means they are in the dark concerning God’s word. All those people who have refuted and debated the authenticity of the Bible have died and the Bible is still here leading and guiding generation after generation. Other books written have been discarded, but the Bible is still here teaching and guiding us into the path of righteousness, to Jesus and to everlasting life.

It’s amazing how people say that man wrote the Bible yet leave out the, ‘inspired by God’ part, yet they would rather uphold and uplift a book written by an uninspired man – a book which does not edify, encourage or teach you the spiritual aspects of God. God’s word never lies and as Hebrews 4:12 describes it, the word of God is quick, powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. It pierces you and penetrates to the uttermost parts of your soul and spirit, joints and marrow and discerns thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no other book in the world, past or present or future that does that.

FORSAKING ALL FOR THE CALL

Jesus went by the sea-side and said to a chosen few, “Come and I will make you fishers of men.” Elijah was told by God to choose Elisha as his replacement as prophet. Once you are called by God He will not put you out as sheep before wolves before He teaches you how to fight the wolves. If you have never defeated anything or anyone, how can you teach another how to fight and be victorious.

Even though the battle is not ours, it belongs to God and Jesus who makes us more than conquerors we still have to do our part by choosing to live for Christ and follow His examples that He laid out for us to follow, we must obey God’s commandments and above all we must resist the devil so he can flee (James 4:7). Jesus did it and that’s why we follow His examples because John 14:6 tells us He is the way, the truth and the life and we have to go through Him to have access to God (Plus if we love Jesus we will follow Him). Hebrews 4:14-16 says that Jesus has been there and done that; He was tempted, abased and was without sin.

Every five-fold minister is chosen by God before we were born as Jeremiah says, God chose and ordained us and Hebrews 5:1-5 every high priest taken from among man is ordained for men in the things of God. That he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. And as 1 Timothy shows us that it is our duty to study to show ourselves approved of God and rightly dividing the word of truth. It is the duty of the Christian to make sure that whomever delivers God’s word is doing it right and truthfully; not by his opinion but God’s unadulterated word. Before you become anything for God you have to be His faithful servant. Elisha became a servant in order to know the things of God and Jesus did it to know the things of His heavenly Father, so everyone who follows Christ must be humble; an obedient servant in order to carry-out God’s orders.

To get to where God wants to elevate us we have to be taught. The greatest teacher is God. With life’s difficulties He shows us through His only begotten Son Jesus how to overcome and be obedient no matter what it is. Nothing is impossible with God.

God will send teachers to teach and guide us but He is the one who orders our steps. He is the only one who will be with us through everything.

DO YOU LOVE HIM

Most people claim to love Jesus, but their actions speak louder than their words. They refuse to be transformed from this world as Romans 12:1-2 tells us, they refuse to present their bodies as a living sacrifice that is holy and acceptable to God. They refuse to trust Him and acknowledge Him in all their ways as Proverbs 3:5-6 says. But the main thing they don’t understand is that if any man is in Christ He is a new creature, and his old lifestyle and habits have passed away and he has a new attitude, a new mindset, a new walk and a new talk that is all of God (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Do you love Him? Then feed His sheep. The same thing Jesus asked and told Peter to do is the same thing He is asking us to do today. Once we have received and confessed Jesus is Lord we will soon have to tell and explain to others what Jesus did and who He is. We need to tell others that Jesus is the Savior of the world and the way to God; through Him we are redeemed and set free from the curses of the enemy. In Mark 16:15-19 Jesus told them, as He is telling us and future generations to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature and signs will follow those who believe. Then later on in John 21:19 and 22 He says to feed His sheep; which means all the people in the world who don’t know Him. Isaiah predicted about John crying in the wilderness, “prepare the way of the Lord,” (Isaiah 40:3-5) and this actually happened in Matthew 3.

Like John the Baptist we should all be warning people to be prepared for the second coming of the Lord Jesus because as predicted we are living in the last days where perilous times are upon us. Denomination or religious affiliation will not save anyone only Jesus Christ of Nazareth. God wants us to tell people, which will be feeding them, His word if we love Him.

Jesus doesn’t want us to be concerned about what the person did, just follow His way and instructions and feed His sheep with the truth of His word.
