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!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

be sacrificed for my 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.

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.
