THIS MEANS WAR

Let the enemy know that he can’t have your joy,peace, children, nothing that God has blessed you with, so it’s war. Everyday we are at war,and the enemies are : Doubts,fear,unbelief, pride, lust, un-forgiveness, greed,bitterness, and the list goes on.
However,one of the problems with Christians is that,we let our guards down, while Satan is always attacking,scheming, and planning.
Therefore,it’s time as
Ephesians 6:11-13 says, to
“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand”.

As believers we should always be praying for each other, because every child of God, who calls themselves Christians, is under attack and the devil is like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. Therefore,as Jesus said to Peter,in Luke 22:31-32
And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”
This means Jesus is praying for us also,and no matter what,like Peter we have the victory ,and are more than conquerors,because,we overcome by the blood of the lamb. That’s why we go to church to strengthen each other.

One of the main things to ask for in prayer for another Christian and yourself is that God will give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him as Ephesians 1:17-19 states, and that the eyes of our understanding may be opened or enlightened that we may know what is the hope of His calling  and the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, plus the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward, which He worked in Christ Jesus when He raised Him from the dead.

When we get Godly wisdom we will not be ignorant of Satan’s devices and tactics, and he will not gain an advantage on us as 2 Corinthians 2:11 warns us. Another fact we should know is that we can’t receive the things of God in our natural state or condition as we are told in 1 Corinthians 2:12-14,

“What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.”

Your imagination becomes vivid when you ask for spiritual wisdom, knowledge and understanding because you have moved from the natural to the heavenly; plus you see things others don’t see because God didn’t show them because they are not dwelling in the secret place of the Most High God.

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.

A TRUST ISSUE

Who can you trust? We trust people, yes we are guilty of this, that we don’t know or have a relationship with. For example; we trust a lawyer to represents us in a court room, whether we are guilty or innocent. We trust a doctor with our lives in the operating room. We trust an anesthesiologist to administer anesthesia so we do not feel any pain. We trust celebrities when they advertise products that they themselves don’t use or wear. We trust meteorologists to give us an accurate reading of the weather, and yes they have gotten it wrong on numerous occasions. We listen attentively to the advise and suggestions of doctors, lawyers, family, friends and having the nerve to comply to what they tell us. We must realize that the hopes we have of waking up after surgery is not up to the doctors or anesthesiologist but up to God. We go to sleep and once again fail to realize that it is not up to us to wake up but up to the being that has that decision in his hands, God, the creator of everything.

Help me understand why it is so hard for people to trust God? Why it is so easy for so many people to refuse God’s ultimate gift of His only begotten son Jesus Christ? What has He done or said that is wrong? If you believe that he has done something wrong, explain yourself and please do not blame him for outcomes that you yourself could have prevented. Yes, I will agree that Jesus did a lot of miraculous and impossible things but that was to show us who He was and who He represented at the time (God the Father). What is it that makes people choose to trust, believe and accept ordinary folks advise and commands but not the son of the lord (Jesus).

Jesus has told us why He came and what His purpose was. His task was never easy, His sacrifice beyond measure, His love limitless, His compassion endless and His divine authenticity was proven in the old as well as the new testament. So what is the problem? Who has a better offer or promise of eternal life? Who is willing to suffer and die so we could be free?

In John 14:1-7, He informs us that, “He is the way to God, the truth about God and the only One who can give eternal life.” He also tells us that “He has gone to prepare a place for us, where we will be with Him, where there are no aches, pains or devastations.”

 The question I must ask is are you prepared to receive Him? Are you ready for paradise? Are you practicing daily to live there in holiness, truth, purity, love and trust? Do you seek him first on a daily basis according to Matthew 6:33? Does your lifestyle tell or show the world who and whose you are? Deny yourself with the lust of this world and follow Jesus, the being who will make it right.

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. And that the eyes of your understanding will be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power (Ephesians 1:17-19).

SIN IS SEPERATION

Most people don’t realize that, all sins, lead to some sort of separation. From cheating on your spouse, to turning your back on God. However, the consequences are somewhat different, they both lead to divorce, but one leads to eternal death. There was a time years ago, we were doomed forever. Because of our multitude of sins, we used to live just like the rest of the world, full of sin, and obeying satan: who is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. We were born with an evil nature, and we were under Gods anger. But God is so rich in mercy, and loves us so much, even while we were doomed because of sin (Ephesians 2:1-4), He found a way to save us, and that’s through His only begotten son Jesus Christ(John 3:16-17, John 6:40,John 14:6). God saved us by His special favor when you believed, and we can’t take credit for anything, it is a gift from God, salvation is not a reward for the good things we did, so no one has any bragging rights. Yes, friends we are Gods masterpiece, who He has created new, through Christ Jesus(Ephesians 2:8-10).

Can you see the devastation, and the destruction we would face, if God didn’t send Jesus Christ. Folks we had no hope, no promise, and no God, and what is sad, is that we didn’t know Him then, and He sent His son to lead, show, tell, and guide us to Him, and people refuse to accept, and believe that God sent Jesus so that we have a way to repent. Imagine, we were separated from God, His hope, and His promises, He sent Jesus, to break down the walls of separation, and become the bridge to bring us closer to our true creator, and people, are refusing Him, seeking someone else, now I understand the meaning of (Hosea 4:6)’my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge’. Why can’t we just, ‘seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and return unto the Lord before its too late…our thoughts and ways are not like His, it’s billions of miles apart'(Isaiah 55:6-9). Jesus  broke down the barriers of separation, so we are no longer strangers, aliens, and foreigners, but citizens, sons, daughters, and joint heirs of the promise of eternal life(John 3:16).

I just can’t figure out how some one could refuse, or neglect so great a salvation (Hebrews 2:3). I pray that God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may give you the spirit of wisdom, and revelation, so that you may know Him better, and the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that, you may know the hope to which He has called you, and you will see the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power, for us who believe, that power is like the working of His mighty strength. (Ephesians 1:17-19).
