Am I A Good Samaritin--Am I My Brothers Keeper?
Part One:
For awhile now I have been hearing Abba Father talking to me about His people being sold out to His Holy Kingdom Purposes....My conversation with Abba Father went something like this...........
God:
Who are my Good Samaritans?
Me:
Am I a good Samaritan?
God:
Who of you love My people?
Me:
Do I love Gods people from every tribe and nation?
God:
Who will love their neighbor as themselves?
Me:
Do I love my neighbor as I love myself?
Do I love myself?
God:
Who will be their brothers keeper?
Me:
Am I my brothers keeper?
God:
Who will feed the hungry?
Me:
Do I feed the hungry of this world?
How do I feed the hungry around the world and in my community?
God:
Who will cloth the naked?
Me:
Do I supply clothes, blankets, coats and jackets to those in need?
How do I provide these services?
God:
Who will care for the orphans and widows?
Me:
Do I care for the orphans and widows?
How can I get the needed supplies to those in need?
God:
Who will shelter the homeless?
Me:
Am I willing to shelter the homeless?
Where would I shelter the homeless?
God:
Who will take care of the strangers?
Me:
Am I hospitable to strangers?
God:
Who will share my Son, Jesus with this lost world?
Me:
Do I share Jesus with my fellow mankind?
God:
Who will carry the cross and crucify the flesh to be my Ambassador?
Me:
Do I carry my cross daily?
Do I crucify my flesh daily?
Am I an Ambassador for Abba Father?
God:
Who will fight the good fight of faith in these end days?
Me:
Do I fight the good fight of faith daily?
God:
Who will walk by faith, not by sight?
Me:
Do I walk by faith daily?
Do I understand what faith really is?
God:
Who will I be able to trust with my Holy Spirit?
Me:
Is God able to trust me with the gifts of the Holy Spirit?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part Two:
I believe God is calling all of us to become His Holy Kingdom Ambassadors.
I believe that God is ready to pour out His Holy Spirit on all flesh around the world
for this end time harvest.
God sees these dark days of evil across the world. God hears the cries of the innocent children being raped, tortured and murdered. God watches His followers cower in the pews as mankind falls into eternal damnation. God is calling for an end-time army of Spirit lead warriors, not afraid to get their hands dirty...not afraid to face evil face to face.
God is calling every man, woman and child that call themselves followers and believers of Jesus Christ to stand united as one body in one accord fighting the good fight of faith for God's Holy Kingdom purpose on this earth.
WE MUST PICK UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS INTO THE STREETS, BY-WAYS, BARS, STADIUMS, WORK PLACE, GOVERNMENT, GANGS, BUSINESSES, PRISONS, CULTS, IN THE DESSERTS, ON THE MOUNTAIN TOPS, IN THE CITIES AND IN THE RURAL AREAS.....LET NO ONE TAKE THEIR LAST BREATH WITHOUT HEARING ABOUT JESUS!!!!!!!!!
We all must ask ourselves the above questions every single morning and every single evening! We must keep ourselves in check...humbled, repented, teachable, and willing to serve no matter what we face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part Three:
We as true believers and followers of Jesus Christ must understand that we must be a blessing to others before we really receive the favor of Abba Father.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
God is looking for sold out, yielded warriors that will fight the good fight of faith each and everyday--in all situations and circumstances!
This is just a very short list of amazing warriors for Abba Father...
Judges 6 ... God called Gideon ....
1 Samuel 16 ... God called David...
Exodus 3...God called Moses....
Genesis 7....God called Noah
Esther 2....God called Esther
Many many more in the Old Testament....Like Elijah, Elisha, Samuel, Daniel, Joseph....the list is long and distinguished and lets not forget the amazing men and women of the New Testament
Peter, James, John, Paul, Andrew, Stephen, Mary, John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, Martha.
Each one of these men and women answered the call on his/her life. Each one had to answer Abba Fathers call...Each one had to yield to Abba Fathers teachings, corrections, disciplines. Each one had to crucify their own flesh and do what Abba Father commanded. Each example of greatness we read...we also see failures, shortcomings, sins, anger, fear, frustrations, hopelessness,...simply being overwhelmed....But yet each one accomplished great things for Abba Father through faith, trust and obedience...A YIELDED HEART, SOUL AND SPIRIT!! There are many many more examples we can glean wisdom from.
God sees each of us on our good days and also on our bad days. God knows when we are being petty and rebellious...God knows when we are truly seeking Him in Spirit and in truth with a yielded heart.
God sees us in our pain, sorrow, loneliness, anger, frustrations, and He sees us when we are overwhelmed. He hears our cries for mercy and grace. Abba Father sees and hears all...He knows all....
God sends His Holy Spirit to comfort and council us. He leads us to His Holy Anointed Words. He tells us in Psalms 23 that no matter what we face He will carry us through it all....we must TRUST HIM in all areas of our Psalms 91.
God tells us to study, meditate, pray, ask, seek, give thanks, reach for His hand.
2 Timothy 2:15...study
1 Thessalonians 5:17....Pray Without Ceasing...Pray Continually
1 Thessalonians 5:18...Give Thanks
1 Timothy 4:15...Meditate
Matthew 7:7....Ask, Seek
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PART FOUR:
How do I treat my fellow mankind?
Am I my brothers keeper?
Do I love my neighbor?
Who is my neighbor?
Luke 10:25-37
On one occasion an expert in the law
stood up to test Jesus.
Teacher, he asked,
What must I do to inherit eternal life?
What is written in the Law? He replied.
How do you read it?
He answered,
Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your
strength and with all your mind; and, Love
your neighbor as yourself.
You have answered correctly, Jesus replied.
Do this and you will live.
But he wanted to justify himself, so he
asked Jesus, and who is my neighbor?
In reply Jesus said...
A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
when he was attacked by robbers.
They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went
away, leaving him half dead.
A priest happened to be going down the same road,
and when he saw the man, he passed by on
the other side.
So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and
saw him, passed by on the others side.
But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where
the man was; and when he saw him,
he took pity on him.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring
on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his
own donkey, brought him to an inn and
took care of him.
The next day he took out two denarii and gave
them to the innkeeper. Look after him, he said, and
when I return, I will reimburse you for any
extra expense you may have.
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor
to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?
The expert in the law replied, The one who
had mercy on him.
Jesus told him, "GO AND DO LIKEWISE."
God commanded each of us to go forth and to love our neighbors and be our brothers keepers!!!
He does not ask, he does not plead, He does not beg us,....
GOD COMMANDED each one of us to love our neighbors...to be our brothers keeper!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that this is pretty important to Abba Father!
What do you think?
Galatians 5:13
For, brethern, ye have been called unto liberty;
only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh,
but by LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER.
Galatians 5:14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this;
THOU SHALT LOVE THEY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF.
Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering,
Gentleness, Goodness, and Faith.
Ephesians 1:4
According as He hath chosen us in Him before
the foundation of the world, that we should be
Holy and with out Blame before Him in LOVE.
Matthew 4:19
And He saith unto them,
FOLLOW ME, and
I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN.
John 15:16 A
Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you,
and ordained you, that ye should god and bring
forth fruit......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part Five:
As I listened to Abba Father the past few weeks concerning this message. My heart grew heavy. Because I see so much hate, anger, unsaved souls and offended and deceived people. Through this message I have asked myself all the above questions and I can tell you that I am so sad at how many times I have failed my precious Jesus. I know for a fact that we all fall short of Gods glory every single day.....that makes me so very sad in my heart....We must be honest with ourselves and with Abba Father. We must pick up our crosses every single day and crucify our flesh. We must ask ourselves everyday how we may SERVE our RISEN SAVIOR! We as followers of Jesus Christ must ask ourselves every single day how we can make our world a better place to live in.
God is looking for the ONE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST JESUS!!! The ones sold out! The ones who are willing to do what ever it takes to bring lost souls into His Holy Kingdom.
God does not see a white man....
God does not see a black man....
God does not see Russian or German....
God does not see African or Indian....
God does not desire for His children to be divided by Nationality or Color, National Boundaries, Language, or any other divisions caused by personal prejudices.
In conclusion the message God gave me is pretty simple...
LOVE, FORGIVENESS, and a SERVANTS HEART WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!
WE MUST BECOME MORE CHRIST LIKE DAILY!!!!!!
WE MUST LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST FEED THE POOR!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST TAKE CARE OF THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST NOT BE AN OFFENDED PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST SHARE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON WE COME INTO CONTACT WITH!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST BE ENERGIZED BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this message touches your heart. It is my prayer that each person that reads this message is able to understand God has not only called you, but He has chosen you for such a time as this! God has chosen and ordained each of us to do His Holy Kingdom purposes on this earth in these dark and scary days filled with hate and evil!!!!!!!!
The question isn't did God call me.....
The question is WILL I ANSWER GODS CALL?
What will your answer be today?

Lord, I Just Want To Say Good Morning
Dear Saints I felt in my spirit today that I needed to share some of my older messages. The Lord lead me to this one...As I was reading it, I saw how simple the wording is...I saw how repetitive it is....I began to doubt my writing skills and my abilities to minister...but then I felt the Lords embrace.
Abba Father is not looking for a word scholar with perfect diction, perfect grammar or a vocabulary fitting and english professor. He is looking for heart, spirit & souls that cry out in faith, love, worship, admiration, trust, hope, and obediance. God is looking for sold out child like faith. So I share my hearts cry with you today...simple, but with pure love for my Lord. May it be a blessing to each of you...Its ok to be simple! Its ok to make mistakes! Its ok to be you!!! After all Almighty God created you and He knows your weaknesses, your dreams, your hopes, your failures, your sins, He knows you inside and out...and He loves you anyway :D Glory be to God!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just wanted to say thank You, Abba Father for loving me.

I just wanted to say thank You, Abba Father for allowing Your precious lamb to
be sacrificed for my sin.
I just wanted to say thank You, Jesus for sending the Holy Spririt to me, to watch over me, correct me and to convict me of my wrong thinking and sin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up this morning with this coming from deep within my heart....just flowing....
in my shower this morning I just couldn't stop praising my Lord. I am so grateful to our
precious Lord ....that we do not have to have any formalities to praise and worship Abba Father.
He loves hearing our hearts cries.
Sometimes all I can do is praise Abba Daddy for all His amazing Grace in my life.
When life is suffocating me with trials and tribulations.....sometimes I find myself so wrapped up
in the pain I forget to look up....its like drowning in a sea of sorrow.
But when I take the time to breathe...and I look up and begin to sing praises to my Abba Daddy.....the storm clouds disappear and I am able to tackle one mountain at a time.
What an amazing God we serve!
I hope this blesses you today dear ones :D

Am I Willing To Change
Am I Willing To Change...
This is a question each of us must ask ourselves each day of our journey with Christ Jesus.
God has been speaking to me lately about changes in the Body of Christ. There is a mighty big shift that is happening in the spiritual realms and will manifest in the natural. It will start through the yielded sold out true remnant of God......the prayer warriors....the sold out servants of the Most High.
However, there must be obeident, selfless, yielding saints willing to go and do what ever God is calling each of us to do----no matter how big or small the task may be....no matter the personal cost.
Each one of us as followers of Jesus Christ, must learn to yield and evolve....allow God to prune us, mold us and make us into the man or woman of God that we are called to be.
The men and women that are mentioned in Gods Holy Anointed Word are both good and bad....some followed God as He lead.....they were willing to change and in turn were blessed.....others we read were not willing to change....and they paid greatly for their disobedience......each of these life lessons are given to us to show us what to do and what not to do as men and women of God.
God is calling His people all over the world to change from complacent, pew sitting,
socializing church goers, and blessing seekers...........
To MIGHTY PRAYER WARRIORS and SOUL WINNING FISHERS OF MANKIND!!!!!!!!!!!!
To help teach this lesson of change I have chosen one person for an example of good and bad choices......who became a great and mighty man of God....a man after Gods own heart......
I chose King David.......
David changed and developed through conflict, war, hate, jealousy, envy, mockery, hunger, and poverty....through many many uncomfortable and uncertain issues....yet he remained steadfast and true all through his journey to become king...it wasn't until David became King that he yielded completely to his personal lust. David had a womans husband killed so he could make her his wife.....Even though David sinned greatly....King David knew in his heart he needed God to forgive him....King David begged God for mercy and forgiveness. That is what makes King David such a great and mighty man of God....he knew when it was time to humble himself before the Lord, with praise, worship, and prayer of true repentence. That is what makes this humble shepherd boy so great in the eyes of God!
God is calling His saints to become more like King David.....men and women of true faith in God Almighty...willing to fight the good fight of faith.....to be willing to be pruned, shaped and molded into the mighty warrior of faith that each of us is called to be....willing vessels willing to change our bad habits, our traditions, our opinions, our sinful nature, our views of real Christian faith, to Gods view of true followers of Jesus Christ.....
Before he became King.
He lived a rough life....
Shepherd Boy----
fighting off lions and bears and other preditory animals from getting his fathers flock of sheep....
As well as poachers.
Errand Boy----
running errands for his father and family
Delivery Boy----
taking food to his brothers on the front lines of war.
Boy of Courage-----
asking his brothers why they do not take the enemy by force---
standing before the King and proclaiming he, himself would kill the giant.
Giant Killer----
The one and only brave man of God to face the giant and slay him before
King Saul and his army and the enemies army
Kings Musician & Loyal Servant----
He played his instruments for King Saul and sang Psalms to him.
Best Friend----
sold out friend to King Sauls son, Jonathon
Mighty Warrior----
was known through out the land and history as a mighty couragous warrior...
one who never backed down from his enemies
Young man of Great Faith----
every where David went he proclaimed his faith and trust in God Almighty.
Loyal Friend and a Man of His Word----
after Jonathan had died, and David had become king...he honored
his friend by blessing Jonathans son.
Man of Wisdom-----
he knew that even though he had the ability, strength, and opportunity to kill King Saul.....
David knew that it was not his right to do so. Because God had appointed Saul as King
and it was Gods responsibility to remove Saul from his throne...in Gods timing.
It took many years for David to develope into the King God called him to be.....
A lot of pain, suffering and blood shed....
Constant conflict....
Constant uncertainty
Constant listening and seeking God
Constant yielding and obeying Gods commands
Mistakes, sins, battles, insecurities and even fears....
Through all this....David never stopped praising God Almighty or seeking God.
Davids lifes story begins in 1 Samuel and is recorded in several different books of the bible and through most of Psalms..... I encourage you to really research this out and read this extremely brave and amazing man of Gods story....it will bless you to know that even as brave as he was.....he too faced fear and depression, hopelessness, longing, lonliness, and he made good choices and some really bad choices. But David always knew that God was the answer to any of his personal issues.
Please, take this challenge and discover for yourself how God took this dirty little shepherd boy and turned him in to a mighty warrior and wise king.
(if you need assistance to find the scriptures about David the boy and David the King....go to www.blueletterbible.com or BibleHub.com......this can also be downloaded onto your smartphone....type in the key word David in the search bar and the scriptures with the key word David will come up....this is a great tool to learn more about the word of God.....it has many bible translations, bible dictionaries and other bible study helps....its a great tool to have for any persons personal bible study)
What an amazing and great adventure story......
Twist and Turns, Up and Downs. Sorrows and Defeats. Victories and Great Happiness.
Lust and Love, Heartbreak and Fears........
King David was a man after Gods own heart...even though he was not perfect and he sinned.
What is your favorite story about David?
What have you learned through Davids lifes story?
Have you been able to hear Gods love and correction in these passages?
Psalms 86:1-7 NIV
(a prayer of David)
Hear, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
Guard my life, for I am
devoted to You.
You are my God;
save Your servant who
trust in You.
Have MERCY on me, O Lord,
for I call to You all day long.
Bring joy to Your servant,
for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
You are forgiving and good,
O Lord, abounding in
LOVE to all who call to You.
Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my cry for MERCY.
In the day of my trouble
I will call to You.....
Psalms 34:1-15 NIV
(A Psalm of David when he pretended to be insane
before Abimelek, who drove him away and left him.)
I will extol the Lord at all times;
His praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory in the Lord; let the
afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt His name together.
I sought the Lord and He
answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant;
their faces are never covered
with shame.
This poor man called, and the Lord
heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him,
and He delivers them.
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes
refuge in Him.
Fear the Lord, you His holy people,
for those who fear Him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack
no good thing.
Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Whoever of you loves life and desires
to see many good days, keep your
tongue from evil and your lips
from telling lies.
Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
the eyes of the Lord are on the
righteous, and His ears are
attentive to their cry.
This lesson today is not meant to give you all the answers....it is meant as a challenge for you to seek God and the lessons you may be able to learn from Davids amazing life. I hope that you are willing to put some time into this study. I hope that you will see Davids faith in God Almighty, the Great I Am. I hope you will see Davids weaknesses, failures and insecurities as well as his strengths and victories.

save Your servant who
trust in You.
Have MERCY on me, O Lord,
for I call to You all day long.
Bring joy to Your servant,
for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
You are forgiving and good,
O Lord, abounding in
LOVE to all who call to You.
Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my cry for MERCY.
In the day of my trouble
I will call to You.....
Psalms 34:1-15 NIV
(A Psalm of David when he pretended to be insane
before Abimelek, who drove him away and left him.)
I will extol the Lord at all times;
His praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory in the Lord; let the
afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt His name together.
I sought the Lord and He
answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant;
their faces are never covered
with shame.
This poor man called, and the Lord
heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him,
and He delivers them.
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes
refuge in Him.
Fear the Lord, you His holy people,
for those who fear Him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack
no good thing.
Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Whoever of you loves life and desires
to see many good days, keep your
tongue from evil and your lips
from telling lies.
Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
the eyes of the Lord are on the
righteous, and His ears are
attentive to their cry.
This lesson today is not meant to give you all the answers....it is meant as a challenge for you to seek God and the lessons you may be able to learn from Davids amazing life. I hope that you are willing to put some time into this study. I hope that you will see Davids faith in God Almighty, the Great I Am. I hope you will see Davids weaknesses, failures and insecurities as well as his strengths and victories.

My Warfare Weapon
Dear Saints;
Just a short teaching about praying Gods Word over yourself.
You may use which ever translation you wish. Many times I will
use the NIV because of its simple language. If you prefer the KJV, please
use it. I too use the KJV in many of my studies.
However for today, I will be using the NIV.
When I am praying Gods Holy Anointed Words....I make them personal.
I will make this Psalm personal today as an example of how I pray against
the enemies attacks against my ministry, family and friends. Gods Holy
Anointed Words can not come back void, nor can it fail in its purpose.
It is the most powerful weapon against the enemy of God.
Dearest Heavenly Father....I come to you today speaking Your Holy
Anointed Words over myself. Hear my heart cries Father. Thank You
for Your love, portection, guidance and discipline.
Psalms 91:1-16 NIV
I dwell in the shelter of the
Most High I will rest in the
shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord,
You are my refuge and
my fortress, my God,
in whom I trust.
Surely He will save Me from
the fowlers snare and from
the deadly pestilence.
He will cover me with His
feathers, and under His wings
I will find refuge; His
faithfulness will be my shield
and rampart.
I will not fear the terror
of night, nor the arrow
that flies by day.
Nor the pestilence that stalks
in the darkness, nor the
plaque that destroys
at midday.
A thousand may fall at my side,
ten thousand at my right hand,
but it will not come near me.
I will only observe with my
eyes and see the punishment
of the wicked.
If I say, the Lord is my Refuge,
and I make the Most High
my dwelling.
No harm will overtake me.
No disaster will come
near my tent.
For He will command His
angels concerning me,
to guard me in all my ways.
They will lift me up in their
hands, so that I will not strike
my foot against a stone.
I will tread on the lion and
the cobra; I will trample the
great lion and the serpent.
Because you love me, says
the Lord I will rescue her;
I will protect her, for
she acknowledges My Name.
She will call on me, and I will
answer Her; I will be with her
in trouble, I will deliver her and
honor her.
With long life I will satisfy her
and show her my salvation.
Father this is a promise I know that
I may hold onto.
I know that You are the same
yesterday, today and forever.
I know that You are no respecter
of persons.
I know what You will do for one,
Lord You will do for me.
Lord I put my whole trust and faith
in You, and You alone.
My future is in Your Holy Hands.
Thank You for having a plan for my
life, to bless me and not to harm me.
to prosper me and give me a future.
Thank You Fahter that You have
blessed me with a unique talent and
gift so that I may make a living for
myself from my own hands.
Thank You, Lord for loving me so
very much.
I ask all this in the Mighty and Powerful Name
of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Praying Gods Holy Anointed Words over your situation
is very important. Trusting God no matter what you
see with your natural eyes.... trusting that He
will see you through the storms of life...is extremely
important in your walk with God.

To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In Righteousness
To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In Righteousness
As I was praying this past few weeks I began to hear the Lord speak to me
about TRUTH AND LIES.
What does the word "Truth" mean?
Truth means----
The true or actual state of a matter.
Conformity with fact or reality.
Verified or indisputable fact or principle.
A state or character of being true.
Actual existence.
Honesty
Integrity
There is NO such thing as a HALF TRUTH or LITTLE WHITE LIES!
A person is telling the truth or that person is lying!
Its a pretty simple concept.
No one has to be taught how to lie...we are all born with that sinful mind set.
We must learn to be truthful.
We must learn to walk in the path of righteous integrity.
What does the word "Lie" mean?
Lie means------
A False statement made with Deliberate Intent to Deceive.
To Knowingly tell an untruth.
To speak falsely.
To Mislead.
God revealed to me that His children have fallen victim to this sin.
It has become so easy for us to lie that many times we don't even realize it.
Or we do not consider what we are saying is a lie.
You may read this and say to yourself......Hey, that doesn't apply to me!
I am not a lier......
But is that a lie in itself?
Here are some very common ways Gods children lie, everyday....
these are just a few examples....I could list dozens....
The phone rings....
its the pastor....
Sister/Brother....would you mind helping clean the church this week....
How many times have we said....
I'm sorry Pastor....I will not be able to help this week...then we make
up some excuse.....when the truth of the matter is...we just want to sleep in.
Or our child ask to go somewhere...and we don't really feel up to it....
so we make an excuse why we can't....
You receive a phone call...your home...but you don't really want to
chat at the moment...really you don't want to talk to that person
calling...so you let the voice mail pick up......
Your voicemail says that you will be happy to return the call
as soon as you can......
But you never return the call.....
You get pulled over by a police officer...
the officer tells you that you were speeding..
the officer tells you were driving 75 mph
in a 60 mph zone......
You look all shocked and say...oh no....I
must have not seen the speed limit sign....
or Oh no...I did not realize I was speeding...
Hoping and praying the officer doesn't
write you a sitation....
Excuses are LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we have all used excuses when we
didn't want to do something or we wanted
to avoid someone.
Pretending to be Ignorant, when we are not
is lying as well.
Deceit is LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Misleading is a form of lie and deceit!!!!!!!!!!!!
We make excuses everyday for one reason or another.
We lie to ourselves more than we lie to each other.
How sad is that?
It is very sad to me!
Lying comes in many forms.
Lying can seem ok at the time.
Lying can even seem like it is the right thing to do.
But according to God's Holy Anointed Word
lying is never ok.
Lies come from the master of deceit, Lucifer.
Lying is a very dangerous sin.
It is a sin that is over looked,
dismissed, downplayed
and ignored.
It just sneaks in the back door
of our brain...laying in wait for the
perfect opportunity to come out.
We as followers of Jesus Christ
must crucify our flesh and nail
that stupid sin to the cross every
single time it raises its ugly head.
Leviticus 19:11 KJV
"Ye shall not steal,
neither deal falsely,
neither LIE one to
another."
Leviticus 19:11 NIV
"Do Not Steal,
Do Not Lie,
Do Not Deceive
one another."
Proverbs 14:5 KJV
"A faithful witness
will not LIE;
but a false witness
will utter LIES."
Proverbs 14:5 NIV
"An honest witness
does not deceive, but
a false witness pours
out lies."
Colossians 3:9 KJV
"LIE not one to another,
seeing that ye have put
off the old man with
his deeds."
Colossians 3:9 NIV
"Do not lie to each
other, since you have
taken off your old
self with its practices."
James 3:14 KJV
"But if ye have bitter
envying and strife
in your hearts,
glory not, and LIE
not against the truth."
1 John 1:6 KJV
"If we say that we have
fellowship with Him,
and walk in darkness,
we LIE, and do not
the truth."
Truth isn't always easy!
Truth more often than not
is painful!!
Truth can cause great
emotional pain and sorrow.
Truth has broken up marriages,
partnerships, divided church
members.....
Truth has caused wars in nations.
Telling the truth is
not an easy thing to do in many
cases.
But to become more Christ like....
We must tell the truth in every
situation.
We must have a repentive heart...
We must tell the truth....
We must seek out righteousness.....
If we are to become more Christ like
daily....then we MUST NOT LIE!!!
Walk in truth daily and watch your
personal one on one relationship
with the Father become closer
and closer every single day.
It is a beautiful thing :D
To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In Righteousness!!!!!!!!!!!!
To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In The Light Of God!!!!!!!!!!!!
To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In Peace With the Lord!!!!!!!!!!
What will you chose to do today?
Walk in Truth?
or
Walk in lies?
It is Your decision, it is my decision every
single moment of every single day to
follow Christ or to follow satan?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear ones......
It is my hearts desire that we each receive this
message as encouragement to overcome the
weapons the enemy of God has laid out for us to stumble
and fall into. The enemy of God wants us to
fall into these traps of sin...these pits that
are able to capture us and hold us in ungodly
bondage.
It is my desire to share with each of you these messages
of encouragement and correction so each of us may
overcome the pitfalls of the devil.
May God bless you dear one with a beautiful
walk with Jesus today...walking in Spirit and
in Truth :D

Faith, Trust, Obedience and Righteousness
Faith, Trust, Obedience and Righteousness
For many years I have heard Christians use these
4 words in reference to different subject matters
concerning a persons Christian walk with God.
Faith is thrown around like dirty socks.
Trust is sung about...talked about....
and avoided like the plaque....
Obedience is almost none existant
in todays Christian world....
God tells us to forgive daily,
to tithe from our first fruits,
repent and turn from our sinful
ways.....but yet we refuse to yield to
Gods Holy Instructions....we want to
do it our way and have it our way
no matter what!
Like a spoiled brat demanding that
the rich father give into his/her
demands.
I call that the spoiled entitlement attitude.
Christians attend church, revivals,
special conferences, and Christian concerts
on a regular basis.
More Bibles are being sold today than ever
before in history....
Tons of Biblical reference books,
self help books and books of encouragement
are written, sold and studied....
but yet, few faithful church goers apply
these wise words of instruction for their
own personal life. Many just go through
the motions of going to Sunday School,
Sunday service, help out in nursery, help
out with other outreach programs, etc...why
because it is what good church going saints
do.
Many have no idea what discernment is...
Many have no idea how to apply Gods
Holy Anointed Words to their own lifes
struggles....they read the bible, they hear
the preaching....but they have no idea how
to listen to the Holy Spirit for themselves..
However......
There are a few Christians that truly do follow
the Word of God in their daily life.
But they are few and far between.....
No these folks are not perfect....
Nor do they live a life with out pain,
sorrow, trials, storms or tribulations...
and they are tempted daily.
For we all fall short of the glory of God daily.
The difference in these followers of Christ is
simple ....
THEY TRULY SEEK GOD AND HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS!
THEY PRAY, REPENT AND FORGIVE
THOSE THAT HURT THEM.
They know to be forgiven they must forgive
70 times 7 a day.....no matter what!
AND THEY YIELD TO GODS DAILY
INSTRUCTIONS AND HIS DISCIPLINES.
They take God at His word!!! They don't
question His instructions....they read,
they study, they mediatate, they pray,
they praise, they worship, they yield,
they obey...
No matter how they feel emotionally....
No matter how big the mountain is they are
facing...
No matter how big and bad the storms are
that they are going through...
These saints of God put all their trust, hope
and faith in Gods Promises---
And they Crucify their flesh!
NO MATTER WHAT!!!
God tells us if we Love Him, we will keep
His commandments....I think that is pretty
clear.
The Word of God tells us that Jesus did not
come to condemn the law, but to fulfill it.
In this modern day and age we have more
resources, freedoms and opportunities to
hear Gods Holy Anointed Words preached and
taught....we have more opportunities to study the
Word of God. We have freedom
to attend church services in many different
ways. We have a huge variety of denominations
to choose from. We can change churches
like we change outfits. As our moods dictate.
Many are falling away from Righteousness
and seeking out feel good messages and
social clubs disguised as Gods Holy Temples,
better known as the local church..
(not all local churches fall into the new age catagory--
but unfortunately many do)
Many are falling prey to New Age Christian
Doctrines......
God is calling His people back to Righteousness!
God is calling His people to true repentance from
the sin that is being committed daily in the body
of Christ...
Inside the Christian communities....
Many are addicted to Pornography,
committing adultery, lusting after another church
member, stealing, lying, addicted to drugs, alcohol,
going to the bars, the casinos....yielding to greed,
hate, unforgiveness......letting their flesh
rule their lives, instead of yielding to the word of
God and the Holy Spirits directions.
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
"If my people, which are called by My name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek
My face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land."
God is looking for men and women that are
willing to pick up thier individual crosses
and crucify his/her own flesh every single day.
(crucifying ones flesh is a painful process...but
the more you do it, the easier it becomes...until
one day it becomes second nature.)
But what I am observing in people are what I
call the "BLESS ME OH LORD, even if I don't
follow Your commands Syndrome".....
This has become an epidemic in the body
of Christ.
Yes I know that is harsh...and some may say
I am being to judgemental...
However I need to share what God has laid
on my heart this past 6 months.
The reason I am writing this message is to
show each of us how we need to seek out
God and His Righteousness BEFORE we
ask for Gods favor and blessings. God will
Not Bless an individual who is not yielding
to His Instructions.
Hebrews 11:1 KJV
"Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things
HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things
NOT seen."
Hebrews 11:1 NIV
"Now FAITH is CONFIDENCE in what
we HOPE for and ASSURANCE about
what we DO NOT SEE."
FAITH is an action word...
FAITH is a word that challenges
our intelligence, knowledge and
understanding.
FAITH is a word that breaks most
Christians. Because when FAITH
is tested....many fall into fear and doubt.
Or they begin listening to the news, or
the bankers, creditors or what their
neighbor are telling them...
Instead of trusting the Lord and His
Promises.
Instead of perservering...they begin
to doubt Gods faithfulness
to each of us.
Dear ones...please hear my heart....
Listen to the Holy Spirit....
Not Man!
If your pastor or teachers are teaching against
what the word of God is saying....
Walk away....and seek God....and pray for
those who are being blinded by the spirit of
lies, deceit, and rebellion.
Faith is a foundational truth in a
Christians daily walk with God.
Hebrews 11:2 NIV
"This is what the
ancients were
commended for"
The men and women of the Bible
had great trust, faith,
and obedience.....And God
honored them...
We still read and study their
lives...
Why?
Because God wants to teach us how
to walk by faith...
God wants to show us, even though
none of them were perfect ...
none of them were with out problems
or fleshly flaws and weaknesses....
They overcame and followed Gods
commands, directions, and disciplines.
And because of that....God honors them
through out history by using their lives
as examples of what to do and what
not to do in our walk with Him.
Hebrews 11:6 NIV
"And WITHOUT FAITH it is
IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE
God, because anyone who
comes to Him MUST BELIEVE
that He exists and that He
rewards those who EARNESTLY
SEEK Him."
Matthew 6:33 KJV
"But SEEK ye FIRST the Kingdom of God,
and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; and All these
things shall be added unto you."
These 2 scriptures are key to any persons one
on one personal walk with God.
It is impossible to please God without
walking in faith.
God will Not HONOR or BLESS a person
who DOES NOT BELIEVE in Him,
TRUST in Him and OBEY Him!
GOD CAN NOT and WILL NOT shower blessings
upon someone who is walking in DISOBEDIENCE
and REBELLION against Him and His commands!!
If you need healing in your body...
Then research all the scriptures that
deal with healing....see how God healed
that person...see what God ask that
person to do before He healed that person.
And begin to hold onto those promises..
make Gods words personal for you and
your situation.
If you need a breakthrough in your finances...
then research every scripture in the bible that
deals with Gods supernatural provisions and
how He blessed those that trusted in Him.
Give your tithe, step out in faith and go into
the realm of offerings....
The only place God gives us permission to
test him, is in our finances.....
But if you are not tithing...if you are not
giving to God...
Then do not expect God to bless your finances.
Don't be like that spoiled brat who demands
the fathers favor....
Humble yourself before God and seek His
Holy Promise and Holy instructions....
read them, meditate on them...yield to them
and obey God....
And watch Gods hand of favor and blessing
fall upon you and your family.
God tells us in.....
Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV
"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God;
for it is He that giveth thee power to get
wealth, that He may establish His
covenant which He sware unto thy fathers,
as it is the day"
Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV
"But remember the Lord your God, for it is He
who gives you the ability to produce
wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which
He swore to your ancestors, as it is today."
This scripture tells me that...God has blessed
every person on this earth with a special
ability, talent, and gift that will help him/her
make a living for themselves and their families.
Whether it is a great career working for someone
else, or becoming a business owner, or becoming
a major inventor or designer of something amazing...
(for example the paper clip, hair scrunchies, or post it notes)
Or a great scientist, doctor, teacher or civil servant.....each person
on earth has a special calling on his/her own life.
God is the same yesterday, today and forever....
God is no respecter of persons....
God is not moved by our emotions....
God is not moved by our situations, no
matter how bad it is.....
God is not moved by our tears...
God is not moved by our good works....
GOD IS ONLY MOVED BY OUR
OBEDIENCE AND FAITH!
God is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever!!!
God has not changed!
Gods Word has not changed!
Gods Commandments have not changed!
Gods Love has not changed!
Gods Mercy and Grace has not changed!
Nor has his anger, wrath and judgements
changed......God is God and His ways are
not our ways..His understandings are not
ours.
We all will face trials, tribulations, storms,
temptations, and persecutions....the Word
of God tells us that if they hated and persecuted
Christ....then how much more will they hate
and persecute His followers...
There is NO NEW SIN ON THIS EARTH!!!
What we are seeing through social media and
multi-media from around the world is no different
than the days of Noah.....
The only reason it looks so new and horrific is very
simple....
IT'S IN OUR FACE DAILY!!!
No one can turn on the news, go to a social media site
without being faced with these horrors being committed
to human beings all over the world. What am I talking
about is aborted babies, abused and murdered children,
people being beheaded, burned alive, raped until they
die...etc....These horrors are happening all over the
world...including America.
The Body of Christ is frozen in fear of these horrors---
instead of PUTTING ON THE FULL ARMOR OF
GOD AND GOING TO WAR IN THE HEAVENLIES
AGAINST SATANS WEAPONS...
Gods word tells us that we do not wrestle against
flesh and blood but against principalities.....
in other words we are fighting the devil and
his demons......
Ephesians 6:10-18....
Gods word tells us that ---
His people perish from lack of knowledge!
Knowing how to read Gods word,
Knowing how to Pray using Gods word
against the enemies attacks is imperative to our
success in Spiritual Warfare!
Dear ones...
if you want Gods favor...
if you want Gods blessings....
if you want your loved ones saved...
if you want to have a closer walk with God....
then let me challenge you to get out your bible....
and seek out Gods Holy Anointed Word for
your self and your situation...
And REPENT FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!
Go through the names of friends and families
and ask God to show you who you need to forgive..
and ask God to show you who you need to go
to ask for their forgiveness also...
Do some much needed Spiritual Spring cleaning
and get rid of anything that could keep you
from a closer walk with your Lord and Savior.
Yes Gods mercies are renewed every single
morning....
But remember dear saints....
God is the Same Yesterday, Today and Forever!
His Words, His Commands have not changed!
God loves us so very much that He accepts us
and loves us where we are...
But He loves us so very very very much that He
REFUSES TO LEAVE US IN THAT STATE OF
MIND SET!
LET GO AND LET GOD DO HEART SURGERY
AND CLEAN OUT THE DEVILS COBWEBS
HE HAS DIRTED YOUR SOUL (mind, will, emotions),
HEART AND SPIRIT WITH.
Here is a quick, tried and true formula that will
help you stand against the enemies weapons
launced against you and your loved ones
A. Read God's Word Daily
B. Repent for everything Daily
(remember we all fall short of the
glory of God daily...in other words..

place to sow seeds....and He will.

Let go of selfish ambitions.
Let go of vengence.
Let go of hate.
Let go of materialism.
Let go of greed.
Let go of lust.
Let go of anything that can
hinder your walk with God.

Continuing to Pour Out for Christ Jesus Glory
Evg. Sherrill McDonald
For many years I have heard Christians use these
4 words in reference to different subject matters
concerning a persons Christian walk with God.
Faith is thrown around like dirty socks.
Trust is sung about...talked about....
and avoided like the plaque....
Obedience is almost none existant
in todays Christian world....
God tells us to forgive daily,
to tithe from our first fruits,
repent and turn from our sinful
ways.....but yet we refuse to yield to
Gods Holy Instructions....we want to
do it our way and have it our way
no matter what!
Like a spoiled brat demanding that
the rich father give into his/her
demands.
I call that the spoiled entitlement attitude.
Christians attend church, revivals,
special conferences, and Christian concerts
on a regular basis.
More Bibles are being sold today than ever
before in history....
Tons of Biblical reference books,
self help books and books of encouragement
are written, sold and studied....
but yet, few faithful church goers apply
these wise words of instruction for their
own personal life. Many just go through
the motions of going to Sunday School,
Sunday service, help out in nursery, help
out with other outreach programs, etc...why
because it is what good church going saints
do.
Many have no idea what discernment is...
Many have no idea how to apply Gods
Holy Anointed Words to their own lifes
struggles....they read the bible, they hear
the preaching....but they have no idea how
to listen to the Holy Spirit for themselves..
However......
There are a few Christians that truly do follow
the Word of God in their daily life.
But they are few and far between.....
No these folks are not perfect....
Nor do they live a life with out pain,
sorrow, trials, storms or tribulations...
and they are tempted daily.
For we all fall short of the glory of God daily.
The difference in these followers of Christ is
simple ....
THEY TRULY SEEK GOD AND HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS!
THEY PRAY, REPENT AND FORGIVE
THOSE THAT HURT THEM.
They know to be forgiven they must forgive
70 times 7 a day.....no matter what!
AND THEY YIELD TO GODS DAILY
INSTRUCTIONS AND HIS DISCIPLINES.
They take God at His word!!! They don't
question His instructions....they read,
they study, they mediatate, they pray,
they praise, they worship, they yield,
they obey...
No matter how they feel emotionally....
No matter how big the mountain is they are
facing...
No matter how big and bad the storms are
that they are going through...
These saints of God put all their trust, hope
and faith in Gods Promises---
And they Crucify their flesh!
NO MATTER WHAT!!!
God tells us if we Love Him, we will keep
His commandments....I think that is pretty
clear.
The Word of God tells us that Jesus did not
come to condemn the law, but to fulfill it.
In this modern day and age we have more
resources, freedoms and opportunities to
hear Gods Holy Anointed Words preached and
taught....we have more opportunities to study the
Word of God. We have freedom
to attend church services in many different
ways. We have a huge variety of denominations
to choose from. We can change churches
like we change outfits. As our moods dictate.
Many are falling away from Righteousness
and seeking out feel good messages and
social clubs disguised as Gods Holy Temples,
better known as the local church..
(not all local churches fall into the new age catagory--
but unfortunately many do)
Many are falling prey to New Age Christian
Doctrines......
God is calling His people back to Righteousness!
God is calling His people to true repentance from
the sin that is being committed daily in the body
of Christ...
Inside the Christian communities....
Many are addicted to Pornography,
committing adultery, lusting after another church
member, stealing, lying, addicted to drugs, alcohol,
going to the bars, the casinos....yielding to greed,
hate, unforgiveness......letting their flesh
rule their lives, instead of yielding to the word of
God and the Holy Spirits directions.
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
"If my people, which are called by My name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek
My face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land."
God is looking for men and women that are
willing to pick up thier individual crosses
and crucify his/her own flesh every single day.
(crucifying ones flesh is a painful process...but
the more you do it, the easier it becomes...until
one day it becomes second nature.)
But what I am observing in people are what I
call the "BLESS ME OH LORD, even if I don't
follow Your commands Syndrome".....
This has become an epidemic in the body
of Christ.
Yes I know that is harsh...and some may say
I am being to judgemental...
However I need to share what God has laid
on my heart this past 6 months.
The reason I am writing this message is to
show each of us how we need to seek out
God and His Righteousness BEFORE we
ask for Gods favor and blessings. God will
Not Bless an individual who is not yielding
to His Instructions.
Hebrews 11:1 KJV
"Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things
HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things
NOT seen."
Hebrews 11:1 NIV
"Now FAITH is CONFIDENCE in what
we HOPE for and ASSURANCE about
what we DO NOT SEE."
FAITH is an action word...
FAITH is a word that challenges
our intelligence, knowledge and
understanding.
FAITH is a word that breaks most
Christians. Because when FAITH
is tested....many fall into fear and doubt.
Or they begin listening to the news, or
the bankers, creditors or what their
neighbor are telling them...
Instead of trusting the Lord and His
Promises.
Instead of perservering...they begin
to doubt Gods faithfulness
to each of us.
Dear ones...please hear my heart....
Listen to the Holy Spirit....
Not Man!
If your pastor or teachers are teaching against
what the word of God is saying....
Walk away....and seek God....and pray for
those who are being blinded by the spirit of
lies, deceit, and rebellion.
Faith is a foundational truth in a
Christians daily walk with God.
Hebrews 11:2 NIV
"This is what the
ancients were
commended for"
The men and women of the Bible
had great trust, faith,
and obedience.....And God
honored them...
We still read and study their
lives...
Why?
Because God wants to teach us how
to walk by faith...
God wants to show us, even though
none of them were perfect ...
none of them were with out problems
or fleshly flaws and weaknesses....
They overcame and followed Gods
commands, directions, and disciplines.
And because of that....God honors them
through out history by using their lives
as examples of what to do and what
not to do in our walk with Him.
Hebrews 11:6 NIV
"And WITHOUT FAITH it is
IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE
God, because anyone who
comes to Him MUST BELIEVE
that He exists and that He
rewards those who EARNESTLY
SEEK Him."
Matthew 6:33 KJV
"But SEEK ye FIRST the Kingdom of God,
and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; and All these
things shall be added unto you."
These 2 scriptures are key to any persons one
on one personal walk with God.
It is impossible to please God without
walking in faith.
God will Not HONOR or BLESS a person
who DOES NOT BELIEVE in Him,
TRUST in Him and OBEY Him!
GOD CAN NOT and WILL NOT shower blessings
upon someone who is walking in DISOBEDIENCE
and REBELLION against Him and His commands!!
If you need healing in your body...
Then research all the scriptures that
deal with healing....see how God healed
that person...see what God ask that
person to do before He healed that person.
And begin to hold onto those promises..
make Gods words personal for you and
your situation.
If you need a breakthrough in your finances...
then research every scripture in the bible that
deals with Gods supernatural provisions and
how He blessed those that trusted in Him.
Give your tithe, step out in faith and go into
the realm of offerings....
The only place God gives us permission to
test him, is in our finances.....
But if you are not tithing...if you are not
giving to God...
Then do not expect God to bless your finances.
Don't be like that spoiled brat who demands
the fathers favor....
Humble yourself before God and seek His
Holy Promise and Holy instructions....
read them, meditate on them...yield to them
and obey God....
And watch Gods hand of favor and blessing
fall upon you and your family.
God tells us in.....
Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV
"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God;
for it is He that giveth thee power to get
wealth, that He may establish His

God is not moved by our tears...
God is not moved by our good works....

Message---October 25, 2015
Isaiah 38:1-7 NIV
"In those days Hezekiah became
ill and was at the point of death.
The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz
went to him and said,
This is what the Lord says:
Put your house in order,
because you are going to die;
you will not recover.
Hezekiah turned his face to the
wall and PRAYED to the LORD.
Remember, O Lord, how I have
WALKED before You FAITHFULLY
and with WHOLE HEARTED DEVOTION
and have done what is good in Your eyes.
And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Then the word of the Lord came
to Isaiah: Go and tell Hezekiah,
This is what the Lord, the God
of your father David, says: I
have HEARD YOUR PRAYER
and SEEN YOUR TEARS; I
will DELIVER you and this city
from the hand of the King of
Assyria. I WILL DEFEND
this city.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the Lord's SIGN to you
that the LORD WILL DO
WHAT HE HAS PROMISED."
Dear Ones....God is looking to hear from each
of us in earnest heart felt prayers of petition,
thanksgiving, intercession, praise, & worship.
Our Lord desires to have a chat with us
many times a day....everyday.....
God created us for His pleasure.
God created us for His desires of love,
compassion, and blessings.
Many are facing horrific situations.
Some are sick in body and spirit.
Some are facing career changes,
relationship changes.
Some are facing the loss of a loved one.
Many are being persecuted for
their belief in Christ Jesus.
What ever your situation is today.....
God is the Answer!
The word of God has the answers!
Let me encourage you to get alone
with your bible, let the Holy Spirit
guide you to His Holy Promises.
Then fall on your face and worship
the Lord with all your heart and soul.
Worship God with all you have. Praise
Him in the storm of your life.
Give God thanks for all the many
many blessings He has showered upon
you each day of your life.
Cry out to God.
Repent for any shortcomings
and weaknesses.
Give thanks.
Worship Him in Spirit and truth.
Find Gods promises that apply to
your situation....
Begin to hold onto that promise.
Sow seeds of faith.
If you are sad.....encourage someone...
If you are ill.....pray for someone elses healing....
If you are in need of a financial breakthrough.....
sow financial seeds into a good fertile ministry that
is winning souls for Christ Jesus, providing
for the widows and orphans...feeding the hungry
and sheltering the homeless.
If you lack wisdom....then ask God to bless
you with His wisdom.
We all face bad situations from time to time.
Just remember.....
God loves you very very much...
Hezekiah was warned he was going to die..
He was told to get his affairs in order.
But He knew He had been faithful and true.
He held onto to His faith in God, for mercy
and healing. He cried out from the depths
of his soul for healing.
God heard his prayer.
God showed compassion to Hezekiah.
As a result of Hezekiahs faith based prayer,
God granted him life, healing, compassion,
mercy, and grace.
Hezekiah didn't just go to church and
hear a preacher preach...no...
Hezekiah knew who God was.
Hezekiah knew that God would answer
his humble pleas for healing of his sick body.
Hezekiah put his faith in God to work for
his situation.
Hezekiah trusted God, believed in Gods promises.
Hezekiah had faith that God would hear his
prayers for mercy and healing.
Hezekiah was confident in his faith.
Who or what do you put your faith in?
Are you confident enough in God to know
how to cry out to Him for your personal
needs to be met whether it is healing or
financial..or the salvation of a loved one....
Who do you trust?
What is your faith based on?
He will never leave you, nor will He
forsake you!
God has a plan for you, to bless you,
and not harm you.
Greater is He who lives in me, than he
that lives in the world.....
Ask God to reveal Himself to you.
Ask God to help you learn about His
Holy Promises.
Ask God to help you walk by faith,
not by sight.
Christ Jesus paid the price for your
salvation .... just accept it...it is free for the asking!
God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
What God did for Hezekiah, He will
do for you. If you truly trust in Him.
Matthew 6:33 is a key scripture we all must
learn to do in our walk with God.
Hebrews 11 tells us how the ancient believers
followed God by faith and trust.
Remember FAITH is an action word!
Remember FAITH is believing for
something that has not happened yet.
If you can do it yourself or obtain it
by yourself...that is not faith....
Dear ones......if you need a touch from the
Master today...then get alone with your
bible and seek Him....God is waiting
patiently to hear from you today.
Remember, God loves us so very much
that He gave His only son to die for our
sins.
Remember God is for you :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

for the widows and orphans...feeding the hungry
and sheltering the homeless.
If you lack wisdom....then ask God to bless
you with His wisdom.
We all face bad situations from time to time.
Just remember.....
God loves you very very much...
Hezekiah was warned he was going to die..
He was told to get his affairs in order.
But He knew He had been faithful and true.
He held onto to His faith in God, for mercy
and healing. He cried out from the depths
of his soul for healing.
God heard his prayer.
God showed compassion to Hezekiah.
As a result of Hezekiahs faith based prayer,
God granted him life, healing, compassion,
mercy, and grace.
Hezekiah didn't just go to church and
hear a preacher preach...no...
Hezekiah knew who God was.
Hezekiah knew that God would answer
his humble pleas for healing of his sick body.
Hezekiah put his faith in God to work for
his situation.
Hezekiah trusted God, believed in Gods promises.
Hezekiah had faith that God would hear his
prayers for mercy and healing.
Hezekiah was confident in his faith.
Who or what do you put your faith in?
Are you confident enough in God to know
how to cry out to Him for your personal
needs to be met whether it is healing or
financial..or the salvation of a loved one....
Who do you trust?
What is your faith based on?
He will never leave you, nor will He
forsake you!
God has a plan for you, to bless you,
and not harm you.
Greater is He who lives in me, than he
that lives in the world.....
Ask God to reveal Himself to you.
Ask God to help you learn about His
Holy Promises.
Ask God to help you walk by faith,
not by sight.
Christ Jesus paid the price for your
salvation .... just accept it...it is free for the asking!
God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
What God did for Hezekiah, He will
do for you. If you truly trust in Him.
Matthew 6:33 is a key scripture we all must
learn to do in our walk with God.
Hebrews 11 tells us how the ancient believers
followed God by faith and trust.
Remember FAITH is an action word!
Remember FAITH is believing for
something that has not happened yet.
If you can do it yourself or obtain it
by yourself...that is not faith....
Dear ones......if you need a touch from the
Master today...then get alone with your
bible and seek Him....God is waiting
patiently to hear from you today.
Remember, God loves us so very much
that He gave His only son to die for our
sins.
Remember God is for you :D
