Highly Favored !

Highly Favored !

My CHILD, You are the apple of my eye. Esteem my favor highly, and know that when you put me first in everything you do, I will surround with a shield of favor because I love you and want the very best for you...

Proverbs 8:35"Whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.

GOD IS ABLE.

Amen

"By Their Fruit..

"By Their Fruit..."

"Therefore by their fruits u will know them" (Matt.7:20).

One of the most thrilling promises of the Lord is that if we will abide in Him & allow Him to abide in us thru His Spirit, we actually will be different. Our lives will be changed, even radically!

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become anew" (2 Cor. 5:17).

The wonderful plan of salvation shows us that "we all are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord!"(2 Cor. 3:18).

Those who abide in Jesus will bear fruit of the Spirit. We can be confident of this very thing, that He who has begun this good work in u will finish it. (Phil. 1:6).

Remember His words: "U didnt choose Me but I chose you & appointed that u should go & bear fruit & that your fruit should remain, that whatever u ask the Father in My name He may give u" (John 5:16).

And the great news is that its not just 4 now but 4 eternity!

Unlocking The Gate

Unlocking The Gate

The Bible proposes the only effective way of dealing with sin-CONFESSION.

In the Old Testament, one of the ways the Israelites were suppose to cleanse themselves & maintain purity before God & in their community was by confessing their sins ( Num. 5:5-8).

To confess means "to speak the same; to agree with; to admit the truth."

When the people confessed to God, they were'nt telling Him anything He didnt already know! But their confession was a demonstration of a change of heart.

Refusing to confess their sins allowed sin to take deeper root within their lives & community. Admitting our sin unlocks the gate so that we can have forgiveness, joy & peace!

If we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive (1 John 1:9)

Confession is agreeing with God about our sins.

Love Is A Commandment!

Love Is A Commandment!

Must I love other people?

What if I don't want to?

John13:34- So I now am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.

1 John 2:9- Anyone who says "I am in the light" but rejects another Christian is still in darkness.

John 13:35- Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.

1 John 4:12-If we love each other, God lives in us, & His love has been brought to full expression through us!

Being a Christian comes with certain expectations, and one of them is that we love each other, not just through word, but in deeds also. Our Christian conduct is proof that we belong to Christ!

Please Read~ 1 John 3:15~24

Love ya very much!

KNOWING YOUR IDENTITY

KNOWING YOUR IDENTITY

Christians must stay alert with regard to the Enemy.

When we are reading the Word, praying, and spending time with other believers, good protection is in place.

By reading & memorizing scripture & putting it in action, we have truth in our hearts to shield us against deception. In addition, we will be submitting ourselves unto God & we can tell satan to flee in the name of Jesus Christ!

Are you in a vulnerable position where the adversary has easy access to you(be honest)?

Make sure your life is firm upon the Solid Rock of Jesus Christ.

Unless you purposefully stay close to Him, the devil will draw you away from God.

Be like a branch that stays attached to the vine so that Victory will be yours.

(So if you were to stand convicted of a Christian today,would there be enough evidence to convict you of being a Christian)?????????

Happy Resurrection Day!

Happy Resurrection Day!

(Col.1:18)

The resurrection of Christ is no less crucial to the gospel than the death of Christ. If He did not rise from the dead then we whom believe in Him"are of all men miserable"(1Cor.15:19).

Christ's resurrection assures us,first of all,of our justification.

Paul writes"For us also,to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;Who was delivered for our offenses,& was raised again for our justification"(ROM.4:24-25)..

Today Ive come to celebrate the "RESURRECTION OF CHRIST" not "Easter"because Easter means(originally the spring festival in honor of Eastra or Ostara a Teutonic goddess)..

My Lord, I bet most of you didn't know this huh?

People of God, learn the TRUTH of Christ & come up out of all these man-made traditions!

Come up out ignorance!

This is not about new clothes,eggs,bunnies & chocolate candy,but this is about the"RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST"!

Celebrate this day for what it is and not for what it isn't.

Confession Of Surrender

Confession Of Surrender

To find real release from guilt, you must also confess your faith. A faith in Jesus Christ who removes guilt of all shapes & sizes!

You must confess with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord, & believe in your heart. For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God, & with his mouth he confesses his faith (Rom.10:9-10).

Such a moment of truth can peel our eyes to life's deepest meaning & as we confess it, we come face to face with what that truth demands: "death to the old way of life".

We must die in order to truly know ourselves & our God. An internal death of our selfish will & our self-centered motives!

(Gal.2:20)...I consider my old self as good as dead, crucified along with my Master, Christ & my present life isnt that of the old "I", but the living Christ within me... I now live by faith in the Son of God who loved me & sacrificed Himself 4 me!

A moment of truth b4 the Master will bring you a motiveof truth fora lifetime.

The Way To Wisdom

The Way To Wisdom

For those who'll HEED Him, God has given instructions that can help anyone, young & old, gain success in their lives thru wisdom! What's WISDOM?

The dictionary defines it as "accumulated philosophic or scientific learning" but a very intellectual person can make VERY UNWISE choices, so there must be something MORE to it!

For those who want to follow God, we could say that wisdom is the ABILITY TO APPLY GOD'S KNOWLEDGE 2 OUR LIVES.

The book of Proverbs is a 31-chapter instruction manual touching EVERY ASPECT of life that a young person has yet to experience or that an older person can look back on"what might have been" if its insructions would've been followed!

King Solomon wrote: If you cry out for discernment & lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver & as hidden treasures, then you will undestand the fear of the Lord & find the knowledge of God!-Proverbs 2:1-5.

THIS IS THE WAY TO WISDOM!!!

Why Should I Forgive?

Why Should I Forgive?

"If you forgive other people their failures, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you will not forgive...neither will your Heavenly Father forgive you your failures"- Matt. 6:14-15.

Anyone who loves God must also love his neighbor. Anyone who hates another does not & cannot love God!

Love of God & our neighbor are interlocking & indivisible.

We only learn to love as we learn to know God, and we truly learn to know God as we learn to love our brothers & sisters in Christ.

The life that opens to the love of God shall also be loving to others!

The person who truly receives the forgiveness of God is truly forgiving of others.

The rush of Gods strength, which brings forgiveness, gives in return the ability to forgive & forgive!

How do you want to be treated?

Do you want to be forgiven seventy times seven?

Then, out of LOVE, you will forgive & forgive & forgive again- SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN! - Matt. 18:21-35

So open up your heart today, LOVE & FORGIVE

My soul is Anchored !

My soul is Anchored !

Hebrews 6:17-20

(17)Wherein God,willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel,confirmed it by an oath.

(18)That by two immutable things,in which it was impossible for God to lie,we might have a strong consolation,who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

(19)Which hope we have as an "anchor" of the "soul",both sure and steadfast,and entereth into that within the vail:

(20)Whither the forerunner is for us entered,even Jesus,made a high priest for ever after the order of Melcheisedec.
