**GOOD WILL OF GOD=TO BE SAVED.** **ACCEPTABLE WILL OF GOD=FOR YOU TO ACT RIGHT IN OBEDIENCE.** **PERFECT WILL OF GOD=YOUR ACTUAL PURPOSE OR PATH IN LIFE.**

THE devil CANT HURT YOU WHILE YOUR IN THE WILL OF GOD,THATS WHY satan PRESSURES YOU TO GET OUT OF THE WILL OF GOD SO THAT HE CAN HURT YOU!(THE devil WILL LOOSE YOU"GET YOU FROM PRESSURE OF DOING RIGHT" TO BIND YOU"SUFFERING FOR WRONGNESS" )

THE WORD OF GOD IS "SEED" & WE ARE MADE FROM THE DIRT OF THE EARTH & OUR BODY IS MAINLY MADE OF WATER THAT FEEDS THE EARTH(US)AND BRINGS LIFE TO THE SEED! SO UNLESS "YOU" WHO IS OF THE EARTH TAKE IN THE SEED(THE WORD OF GOD) THEN HOW WILL YOU EVER PRODUCE ANY GODLY(GOOD) FRUIT? "WHAT EVER SEED YOU TAKE IN,THEN THAT IS THE TYPE OF FRUIT YOU WILL PRODUCE(GOOD OR BAD)"

*SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT*:WHY DO WE GIVE satan MAJORITY OF OUR LIVES & WE DONT GRIPE AND COMPLAIN,BUT THEN WHEN WE GIVE OUR LIVES TO GOD & CHRIST,WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OR A YEAR OF THINGS NOT GOING THE WAY THAT WE THINK IT SHOULD GO WE COMPLAIN AND QUESTION GOD,WHEN WE NEVER QUESTIONED THE devil & EVENTUALLY TURN BACK TO satan & his ways??

"PRESSURE"IS SOMETHING THAT LETS YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG SO THAT YOU CAN GET BACK ON THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!(IF YOUR NOT FEELING ANY PRESSURE IN YOUR FAITH WALK,THEN MAYBE YOU BETTER CHECK OUT WHO YOUR REALLY RIDING WITH)

"PRESSURE"THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU PUSHING YOU IS OPPOSITION,SO ON ORDER FOR YOU TO GET AROUND IT YOU WILL HAVE TO GO LEFT OR RIGHT(GET YOU OFF TRACK)WHEN IN FACT IF YOU PUT IT IN GODS HAND,HE WILL RAISE YOU ABOVE IT! BUT PRESSURE THAT IS BEHIND YOU CAN ONLY PUSH YOU FORWARD TOWARD THE MARK,AMEN..

****5 REASONS PRESSURE COMES****

1-TO STEAL THE WORD OF GOD FROM YOUR HEART(satanic attacks)

2-CHALLENGES OF THE TIME

3-HUMAN ERROR

4-THE CALL OF GOD ON YOUR LIFE

5-IGNORANCE(LACK,VOID OF UNDERSTANDING)

****6 WAYS TO OVERCOME PRESSURES****

1-KNOW THAT IT IS NOT THE WILL OF GOD

2-KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING OR THE CAUSE OF IT

3-GET THE WISDOM OF GOD TO HANDLE THE SITUATION

4-BE WILLING TO WORK(OVERTIME)ON YOUR PROBLEMS

5-SOW A SEED;THIS OBLIGATES GOD TO HELP YOU(NO SEED,NO HARVEST)

6-MEDITATE ON THE WORD OF GOD ON THE SITUATION

HERE ARE THE SCRIPTURES THAT REFERENCE TO THIS LESSON: MATT.7:13&14,PROV.14:12,EPH.2:10,PS.16:101,MATT.6:9&10,ACTS 13:36,ROM.12:2,PS.23:1-6,PS.25:1-5,PS.27:1-4,PS.34:19,MARK 4:13-20,GAL.3:13-29,EPH.5:14-20,PHIL.2:13-15,HEB.10:35-39,1 PET.3:12-18,LUKE 22:39-46.....

I KNOW THIS IS LONG,BUT IT IS WORTH READING & PASSING ALONG TO OTHERS!!!)GOD BLESS THOSE WHO READ AND TAKE IN GODS WORDS AND MAY HE HAVE MERCY ON THOSE THAT CHOSE TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK FROM HIM"GOD" ) AMEN..

FOOTPRINTS

This new version of the 'footprints' story really caught me off-guard at the end....What a blessing. Just Read It!

FOOTPRINTS...A New Version

Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace.

But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns.

For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling, His consistently...

You and Jesus are walking as true friends!

This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus' are now walking precisely in His steps.

Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are becoming one..

This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger.

Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints.. They have become one.

This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints.

You are amazed and shocked. Your dream ends. Now you pray: 'Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You.'

'That is correct.' 'And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely..'

'Very good.. You have understood everything so far..' When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way.'

'Precisely.' 'So, Lord, was there a regression or something ? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first.'

There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice.

'You didn't know? It was then that we danced!'

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes 3:1-4

Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny isn't it? Are you laughing? Are you thinking? Spread the Word and give thanks to the Lord for He is good!

Funny isn't it, when you go to forward this message, how many on your list are not receiving it because you're not sure they believe?

Sad. It's not WHAT you have in your life, but Who you have in your life that counts.. Think about that.

I asked GOD for a flower, He gave me a garden. I asked for a tree, He gave me a forest. I asked for a river, He gave me an ocean. I asked for a friend, He gave me 'YOU.'

Send this to whomever you think of as a friend...

THE TOP 12 RULES FOR A PROSPEROUS 2011!

The Top 12 Rules For A Prosperous 2011!

1. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)

2. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by renewing your mind. (Romans 12:2)

3. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. (Proverbs 4:23)

4. Trust in the LORD with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)

5. God’s thoughts are nor our thoughts not are His ways our ways. [Isaiah 55:8]

6. Get rid of all bitterness, anger, rage, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. (Ephesians 4:31)

7. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. [Ephesians 6:18]

8. Those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

9. Do to others as you would have them do to you. (Luke 6:31)

10. Judge not and you will not be judged, condemn not and you will not be condemned; forgive and you will be forgiven. (Luke 6:37)

11. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love. (Romans 12:10)

12. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:24)

Always remember, all things work together for good [Romans 8:28] no matter what happens, whether good or bad. But one must have faith, for without it, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Through Him, nothing is impossible (Matthew 19:26). You can do all things through Christ which strengthens you (Philippians 4:13), and He shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). If you fall or stumble, get back up. The Lord never gives up on us. We don’t count ourselves done, but this one thing we do: forgetting the things that are behind us and reaching forth for the prize (Philippians 3:13). The answers (from The Word) are so easy, yet we spend so much time making it hard for ourselves. May 2011 signify change for the best.

A FRESH START !

{A FRESH START}

"THAT YE PUT OFF CONCERNING THE FORMER CONVERSATION THE OLD MAN,WHICH IS CORRUPT ACCORDING TO THE DECEITFUL LUST;AND BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND;AND THAT YE PUT ON THE NEW MAN,WHICH AFTER GOD IS CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS."(EPHESIANS 4:22-24)

EVERYONE DESERVES A FRESH START,AS WE START THE NEW YEAR WITH RESOLUTIONS AND LOFTY IDEALS,IT IS GOOD TO REMEMBER THAT WE CAN ALL RENEW OUR COMMITMENT. WE CAN ALL PURPOSE TO GAIN EVEN LOFTIER HEIGHTS IN OUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TOWARD CHRIST-LIKENESS. NO MATTER HOW FAR WE HAVE ASCENDED,WE CAN GO FARTHER,NO MATTER HOW LOW WE HAVE FALLEN,WE CAN BEGIN AGAIN.

HOW CAN THIS BE ACCOMPLISHED? AS THE CONTEXT OF THIS TEXT TEACHES,WE MUST GO BACK TO SCHOOL--THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST.."BUT YE HAVE NOT SO LEARNED CHRIST;IF SO BE THAT YE HAVE HEARD HIM,AND HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY HIM,AS THE TRUTH IS IN JESUS" (EPHESIANS 4:20-21)."TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU,AND LEARN OF ME;FOR I AM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART:AND YE SHALL FIND REST UNTO YOUR SOULS"(MATTHEW 11:29).

AS THIS TEXT VERSE EXPLAIN,WE MUST BOTH "PUT OFF...THE OLD MAN" AND "PUT ON THE NEW MAN," CLEARLY SPEAKING OF OUR MANNER OF LIFE,JUST AS IF WE WERE CHANGING CLOTHES. IF WE AS BELIEVERS ARE HANGING ON TO A FEW OLD RAGS,LET THIS NEW YEAR SEE US OBEY THIS PASSAGE AS AN ACT OF FAITH THROUGH THE LIVING SPIRIT OF GOD: "PUT YE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST"(ROMANS 13:14).

THIS ACT OF SUBMISSION AND DESIRE WILL RESULT AS WE ARE "RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT[OR ATTITUDE]OF[OUR MINDS]"(EPHESIANS4:23). THE OLD MAN WILL NOT BE REMOVED OR CHANGED INTO THE NEW BUT WILL BE BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL. THE NEW MAN IS A NEW CREATION OF GOD MODELED AFTER HIM "IN RIGHTEOUNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS." "FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP,CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS"(EPHESIANS 2:10) AMEN!

MORTIFY THE FLESH

""MORTIFY(TO PUT TO DEATH) THEREFORE YOUR MEMBERS WHICH ARE UPON THE EARTH" "COLOSSIANS 3:1-10" (GWT)

1 Since you were brought back to life with Christ, focus on the things that are above-where Christ holds the highest position.

2 Keep your mind on things above, not on worldly things.

3 You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 Christ is your life. When he appears, then you, too, will appear with him in glory.

5 Therefore, put to death whatever is worldly in you: your sexual sin, perversion, passion, lust, and greed (which is the same thing as worshiping wealth).

6 It is because of these sins that God's anger comes on those who refuse to obey him.

7 You used to live that kind of sinful life.

8 Also get rid of your anger, hot tempers, hatred, cursing, obscene language, and all similar sins.

9 Don't lie to each other. You've gotten rid of the person you used to be and the life you used to live,

10 and you've become a new person. This new person is continually renewed in knowledge to be like its Creator."

ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!

"ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS" "ST.JOHN 15:7-15" (GWT)

7 If you live in me and what I say lives in you, then ask for anything you want, and it will be yours. 8 You give glory to my Father when you produce a lot of fruit and therefore show that you are my disciples. 9 "I have loved you the same way the Father has loved me. So live in my love. 10 If you obey my commandments, you will live in my love. I have obeyed my Father's commandments, and in that way I live in his love. 11 I have told you this so that you will be as joyful as I am, and your joy will be complete. 12 Love each other as I have loved you. This is what I'm commanding you to do. 13 The greatest love you can show is to give your life for your friends. 14 You are my friends if you obey my commandments. 15 I don't call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn't know what his master is doing. But I've called you friends because I've made known to you everything that I've heard from my Father.AMEN

SPECIAL NOTE:LET YOUR EVERYDAY LIVING BE A TESTIMONY OF HOPE & LIGHT AND NOT OF DARKNESS!
