To obey is better than sacrifice.

"So Samuel said: 'Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord ? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams'" (I Samuel 15:22 NKJV). It was a sad day for Saul, when he ignored the commandment of Samuel that came from the Lord. The prophet of God told Saul to destroy all the Amalekites, the enemy, not to spare them but to kill both man, woman, infant, suckling, ox, sheep, camel, and donkey. He was commanded to kill it all, to destroy them. God asked Saul a simple thing, to get rid of the enemy and to annihilate them all. However, Saul saved Agag, king of the Amalekites, and destroyed the rest of the people with the sword. Saul also spared the best of the sheep, oxen, the fatlings, lambs, and all that was good. He did not utterly destroy them. What do we still have in our lives that Christ has convicted us about? What has He commanded us to get out-of-the-way, to destroy, or to cast out forever? Is there still something that we are hiding or holding back from destroying? Old habits, thoughts, or unforgiveness could be something that needs to be utterly destroyed. Not destroying them, only gives the enemy ground to destroy us. To obey is better than sacrifice. Ask the Lord for grace to help us overcome in the name of Jesus. God bless you all.

He gives more Grace.

"But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: 'God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.' Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:6, 7 NKJV). Scripture says, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you". That sounds easy, but it's not so easy in the days that we live in. Temptation floods just about everything. Man looks to everything from the television to the music on the radio and all the way to the Internet on the computer. The devil doesn't care. He'll flood everything with temptation. The devil will flood everything that could possibly turn your eyes away from Jesus Christ. How do we overcome temptation? Well, scripture says, "Submit to God." We must submit all we are to our God and obey His ways. We resist the devil by obeying God. When the devil sees that you have submitted to God, he will come after you with all that he can, try to tempt you, and hinder you, but the grace God has given to us through his Holy Spirit is stronger than any temptation. Grace will keep you in the arms of God, our Savior. We cannot overcome temptation without God. The humble receive the gift of grace, but God resists the prideful. There is no room for rebellion. There is no room for pride or disobedience. We must submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Praise God today, and God bless you all.

Lord, teach us to pray

Prayer is so powerful, and it should be practiced more in these last days. Prayer opens up the windows of heaven and moves the hand of God. Prayer is the key to peace and to a godly life. We must teach our children how to pray, how to communicate and commune with our Savior, our Lord, God the Father. "Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, 'Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples'"(Luke 11:1 NKJV). It is our job to teach others that prayer is the first business of our day. We cannot afford to lose our prayer life. We must make it a habit to arise and seek the face of God diligently, persistently, consistently, and with a full heart. When prayer is done out of love and faith unto the Lord, He will certainly hear the cry from your heart. Do  not let another day pass by without communicating with our Savior. Find time to cry out to our Savior, and believe me, He will hear the cry of your heart. God bless you.

That which is lost

"For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10 NKJV). Jesus came to seek the lost, those that are bound by sin. He did not come to save the righteous, but He came to those that were lost in bondage, blinded by the lust in their hearts, and only desired more of this world. So many today are lost and blinded by the gods of this world, and Christ came to pave the Way to everlasting freedom. He gives us His very word, the Word of God. The Word of God is for us to believe in and to trust in by faith. In this Living Word, we learn more about Christ and God the Father. The Word teaches us how we should live our lives and how walk in the fullness of God's goodness. How great is our God! He sent His only begotten Son to seek and save the lost of this world. This takes some participation also on the church's behalf. Just as Christ showed us, we must also seek the lost of the world. It is up to us, the church today, to do what Christ has shown us to do, and that is to prepare the way for the harvest and to get ourselves ready as laborers to receive them. Seek the lost. Praise God and God bless you.

Not ashamed.

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'The just shall live by faith.'" (Romans 1:16, 17 NKJV).How beautiful "The Gospel of Christ" is, for God is revealed in it. Yet, so many do not believe it is the Living Word of God. That is why we should not be ashamed, but we should live unashamed of the living Word of God. We as believers, are to live the Word of God to the fullest by faith. The Gospel of Christ is not to be taken lightly by us, the believers. We are to uphold it in the highest. We are to put it around our hearts, walk in it, and live it out by faith. It is our instruction, our daily bread, and our very living water. Jesus Christ died that we may have freedom and stay out of bondage by giving us the Gospel, the Power of God. So many patriarchs, pioneers of the Bible, were burned at the stake, slaughtered, tortured, and thrown to the lions for their faith in the Gospel of Christ. The Gospel is the power of God, and it should not be ignored. "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (I Corinthians 1:18 NKJV). Walk by faith in the world not by sight. God bless you.

His name Immanuel

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” (Matthew 1:23 NKJV). God is so good. He knew exactly what this world needed. He saw that the world was without direction, and that it had no ounce of hope. He saw that it was lost in itself, and that it had a double way of life. The world was on its way to destruction and death. Without a vision or the voice of God speaking through a prophet, humanity became cold. Thank God for, Jesus Christ, who came into this world not to be served, but to serve others by laying down His own life on the cross at Calvary, becoming hope and bringing light to a dark and bound world. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life to this world. There is no other like Him. God knew salvation and freedom from sin could not be done any other way, but only by the blood of His son, Jesus. What mercy and pity God has for all humanity. He gave us life, while giving us His only begotten son as a sacrifice. He is worthy of all praise, and His mercies endure forever. Give Him praise today. God bless you.

While we were still sinners

We have received the Greatest Gift. "But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8 NKJV). Jesus Christ is the greatest and most  important gift given to all of the world. I wish I would get as excited for Christ as I did for Christmas Day years ago. I wish the whole world could get excited for Jesus Christ, and not only for a few minutes on Christmas Day. As a child, how wonderful it was as Christmas Day got closer. It was exciting to notice the new presents under the Christmas tree, and to take a peek to see who it was going to. Everyday was filled with excitement, and my brothers, sisters, and I must have tried every thing to get our parents to give us each one present to open days before Christmas. We could not wait. It was so hard to wait, but soon that day came. I remember those Christmas mornings. As a child, it was like no other day. There was so much excitement, and it only got better as the presents were being passed around. I could not wait to see what I would get, and I imagined it was the very thing I had wished for all year long. Many years later, it is not as exciting as it once was when I was a child, but I sure have learned that Jesus is the Greatest Gift. When I am down, He comes to lift my hopes up. When I fall into sin, He reminds me of everything He has done for you and I. We must remember the reason for the season, Jesus Christ. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23 NKJV). God Bless you all and Merry Christmas.

A Saviour

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger" (Luke 2:11, 12 KJV). A Savior unto the world was born in the city of David. He was born in a stable and laid to rest in a manger. Jesus came into this world, not born among the rich or famous, but among the lowest of the world. The Angel of God appeared to the shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock. At that time shepherds were considered the lowest in society, yet the Angel of the Lord appeared unto them and not to kings. The shepherds tended to the flocks of sheep and the first born males that were chosen for the temple sacrifice. The little city of Bethlehem was the place where the sacrificial lambs were born and raised. The Angel told the shepherds where they would find the Lamb of God, The First Born. "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting" (Micah 5:2 KJV). The Hebrew name for Bethlehem means "The House of Bread," and from that house, Jesus, the Bread of Life, was born and placed in a manger. Christ has come to free and redeem all of Humanity. What a priceless gift our Father has given to all of us. Remember the Lord Jesus Christ this Christmas day and all He Gave to see us free. God bless you, and have a blessed day.

Endure unto the end

"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved" (Matthew 24:11-13 KJV). Love is rare in this world. There is very little passion and pity for the broken hearted. There is no more room for love in our hearts but plenty of room for self-gain and prosperity. There are so many messages from the House of God that speak on prosperity more then the message of love. Neither God nor Jesus ever said we were to become millionaires in the last days, but He spoke of sufferings, death, hatred, distress, betrayal, and anguish instead. Yes, God loves to see His children prosper, but through  Him. God will and has blessed those who seek His Kingdom first, and not those who try to make their own kingdom here on earth. He comes first. The result of a nation who puts self first is a nation that will wax hard through iniquity, refusing and not knowing the real prosperity that the Love of the Lord can bring to the heart and a nation. Thank you for praying and for your heart for the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you.

Woe to the rebellious children

"Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin." (Isaiah 30:1 KJV). Lord, we need You in this World more then anything in life. We  put You aside for a while, thinking we can easily come back where we once were with You. However, rebellion and lawlessness has no respect for anyone. Sin will take us farther then we ever intended to go. I believe many in this world are going to realize there is no other hope except the hope we find in Jesus. Here in America, we have taken God out of every thing man can possibly do, and when all Hell hits we ask ourselves, "Where is God?" Some people will even blame God. While in reality, He is not around because we excused Him from our lives and homes. We truly live in  heartless times. In this world, it's all about what we can get for ourselves, and we don't care who gets hurt while trying to get it. It is no longer the Land of the Free, but "The land is for Me". Lord we need You in this land, in our schools, homes, the work place, and in the church. We need to arise in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and pray for this world and the innocent children who know no better then what they have been born into. Cry out for your country today. Praise the Lord, and God bless you all.

Fear of death

"Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14, 15 NKJV). Fear fills the heart of this generation who walks around the world today. Death is the last stop for every living creature. Whether they believe in Jesus Christ or not, everyone has to face death. To this day, death has many in bondage and living in fear. The Word of God says, "The wages of sin is death". So, sin brings a spiritual death, while Jesus Christ brings life to your spirit. There are two terrors, guilt of sin and fear of death, that only God can deliver a person from. Jesus, through His death, came to destroy Satan, who had the power of death. That all who believe in Jesus will be saved from the grip of fear and no longer live under the bondage of death. Jesus conquered death, and has given us a Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to help us in these last days. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (II Timothy 1:7 NKJV). Christ took on flesh and blood, not the form of angels but of man, to become the perfect sacrifice and redeem all humanity from the fearful wages of death. Give God praise. God bless you all

The Whole Armour of God

"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand"  (Ephesians 6:13 KJV).  Run from the darkness that fills this nation. Run from the immorality that floods the streets and televisions today. The battle has started, and the devil is putting out his very best to come up against Christ's best. It is like the last game of the year, and we are down to the last minutes of the game. Each team is hungry to win, but the one with the biggest heart and determination will win. We know that Christ has already won, but the battle is not over yet. We still have to fight against the principalities of darkness and the spiritual forces of wickedness. The battle can only be fought when the believer puts on the whole armor of God. Only then are we able to stand successfully against the strategies of the devil. Put on The Belt of Truth. The Belt of Truth is what keeps us together. Put on the Breastplate of Integrity, Right Standing with God, and shod your feet with the Gospel of peace. The Shield of Saving Faith covers and protects you from flaming arrows of the wicked one. The Helmet of Salvation renews your mind, while the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, keeps the enemy defeated and on the run. Pray at all times on every occasion and in every season. This armor is what God the Father gives to us, His very children, to fight the battle and come out of it victorious. God bless you all.

My Shepherd

"The  Lord  is my shepherd; I shall not want"(Psalms 23:1 KJV). Words cannot express the pain I feel for the families in Connecticut. My heart goes out to dads and moms who lost their little ones and for the teachers who stood up against the shooter to protect little ones from getting hurt. Dec 14, 2012 was a nightmare. Many woke up finding the very thing they loved was taken from them in a moment and there was nothing they could do about it. I cannot comprehend the pain the parents are feeling, but our church has been praying for the parents and families, that God will touch them spiritually, physically and financially, and that Christ Jesus will strengthen them during this devastating time in their lives. These kind of rampages are common in America and the world anymore. It is so sad how heartless many have become in this world. There is no more conviction or conscience in the heart of man. Many have become cold. We need Jesus, not just another service, but a commitment to serve Him with a whole heart, in order to arise and walk in His peace. God bless you all. Our prayers go out to you and your families.

Herein is Love

"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins"  (1 John 4:10 KJV).  Our first moments with the Lord are the moments we will never forget. For instance, the first time the Lord came into our hearts and touched us so strongly, is a moment not easily forgotten. When we received the Lord into our hearts, He did not look down upon us as if we were some fakes that were doing the same thing as the others around us were doing. God is sure at what He does, and He makes sure every moment with Him is worth more and greater then the last. The more we fall in love with Him, the more He can move around us, and the more He can consume us in His presence. God is out to share and give us our needs. He will take care of those who will reverently and worshipfully fear Him. It is totally up to us, on how far we will go and fall in love with our Lord. God has done His part by giving us Jesus and the Holy Spirit to teach us and counsel us in this world. All He wants back from us is love, and not only love for Him but for others also. We must check our hearts and make sure we have Him as our first love in our lives. We cannot just love in speech, but as God our Father has shown us, which is with a whole heart, our very being, the whole of us. Love is what keeps a relationship standing. Seek God with faith and love. God bless you.

The Lord pitieth them that fear Him.

"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him" (Psalms 103:11-13 KJV). When sin takes over, guilt and condemnation fills our hearts , even if it is just for a few seconds. We tend to run from the Word of God and hide from God for a while, assuming and hoping He did not see or that He might forget our sin. When conviction floods our  minds and hearts, it isn't that easy to hide or run . We knew what we were doing by putting God aside and indulging in the appetites of the flesh. Then reality hits and hits hard, and we sometimes say, "I knew I would fall into it again!" or Am I really saved?" This happens to the best of them. We are all but dust, and God the Father can see the struggle. He is not counting our sins, but asking us to get up and walk once again with Him, even closer then before. We have been redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. We are saved even though we may fall. His grace is sufficient. Praise God, and God bless you all.

Streams of tears.

"My eyes overflow with streams of tears because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.  My eyes overflow continually and will not cease  Until the Lord looks down and sees from heaven" (Lamentations 3:48-50 AMP).  Jeremiah was called the weeping prophet because he saw the hurt and need of God's people. He recognized that the priests in the house of God were without a vision, and had no voice to cry out on behalf of the people. They lost hope for the nation, and kept their heads down. Israel and its inhabitants polluted and deprived themselves, forsaking the Lord, The Fountain of Living Waters. This all started at the house of God and with the men of God. "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump" (Galatians 5:9). Corruption came in, took over, and the nation as a whole reaped from it. Where is the crying heart today? The intercessors of the nations? The men and women who see and feel a burden for the hurt and those in pain that cry out from the streets. We need to pray for the people of this world and our leaders. There is no time to play. We have to pray. God bless you all.

The Remnant.

"And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven," (Nehemiah 1:3, 4 KJV).  Murder without shame, and killing without rage, people are just doing it to do it. Evil has surely fallen on America, and it corrupts the minds of men and women to kill, steal, and destroy. The eyes of many have become so distorted and blinded to the darkness that floods this world. Neither men nor women have a conscience anymore. They don't recognize that the devil is doing all he can to pull whoever he can from the will of God. Shootings and killings have become the usual topic heard on the local news. We sure have fallen far from God, which means God's judgment will come. In the middle of all the turmoil and chaos in this world, there is still hope to those that fight back on their knees in intercession for our countries and nations. Nehemiah heard, and what he heard took him into a time of prayer and fasting. The captivity of his people and the walls of Jerusalem being broken down, brought him down on his knees to cry out to God for their sins that they sinned against God. vs.6: " Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned". God help us! We need to intercede for humanity with a whole heart. God bless you.

Why do the nations rage.

"Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed,  saying,  “Let us break their bonds in pieces And cast away their cords from us” (Psalm 2:1-3 NKJV).  Man has tried, ever so hard, to disassociate himself from God. Man first built a tower that would reach up to heaven, and found out it did not work. The Word of God upsets people, and so many cannot stand even to hear the name of His only begotten son, Jesus. Nation rages against nation, and many will try to work things out in their own way, which will only lead to emptiness and worthlessness without God. Even today in many parts of the world the practice of Christianity is forbidden, and those who are caught in it will be punished or even killed. God and His anointing is a threat to this dark age and to the many nations in this world. Kings may try to break down everything God has done and come against His anointed, but they will not have the victory, God will.   "He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:" VS: 3,4. God the Father is in charge. He is on the top. Praise Him with all your heart. God bless you.

He will be with you.

"And the Lord, He  is  the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed" (Deuteronomy 31:8 NKJV).   God is always a few steps ahead of man. He has a plan, and His plan is to help us. When Moses was old, he knew his time was up as being a leader of the children of Israel. God had already begun to build, mold, and form a new leader out of the men. See, God doesn't lack on people or the need of leaders. He will place the right person, in the right place, and at the right time. Joshua was His man. Since the beginning, when they first came out of Egypt, Joshua had been faithful and obedient. God will exalt those who are humble, and humble those who choose to exalt themselves to the top. So, Joshua was the man to lead Israel over the Jordan and into the Land filled with milk and honey. Joshua was not going into the promise land alone, he was also leading two million or more Israelites right behind him. It's easy to be a leader when you have the crowd following, but it takes God to lead them properly and safely. God was in control of this leader, Joshua, and this leader was submissive to God. To be great leaders, we must be great followers. We learn from the greatest example, Jesus Christ. Praise God today with all your heart.

Do not fear them.

"And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you.” (Joshua 10:8 NKJV). Darkness was defeated 2,000 years ago by Jesus Christ and the Cross of Calvary. The Children of Israel were moving into the promise land, and they were up against many enemies. They had God on their side, and men who knew how to stand up in the mist of a spiritual war. Joshua had no fear of the enemy because he was separated for God. God saw Joshua as a man that did not see the enemy standing, but defeated, struck down by the sword and dead. "And the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;" (Ephesians 6:17 NKJV). Our sword is the very Word of God, and we must understand and acknowledge it as a powerful, living, devil chasing, and God speaking Word. There is no other way to have victory, but through Christ Jesus and the Word of God. We need a sword to defeat the enemy, and it can't be done by just any sword. It takes the very Word of God. God bless you all.

No Intercessor.

"He saw that  there was no man, And wondered that there was  no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him"  (Isaiah 59:16 NKJV). There was no man that would stand in the gap for the Truth. The Lord saw that there was no one, and it displeased Him. The few that did stand became victims of persecution and prey to those that lived in unrighteousness. When the Truth is pushed out, justice has no stand. Israel's heart could not produce righteousness. Their hearts had turned aside from God, and chased after the vanity. They allowed the enemy to come and corrupt their thoughts and hearts. They became idle to the Truth, while evil took over their minds. They were thoughtless and lost in their iniquities. However, God had a plan. "The Redeemer" will come to those who turn from their transgression. "And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion,  And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” (Romans 11:26, 27 NKJV). Jesus is our Savior, and in Him is justice to the fullest. God bless you.

Many will grow cold

"Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold" (Matthew 24:11, 12 NKJV). How near are we to the Lord? How much do we really love the Lord? These are two honest questions that each believer can answer. Let us be honest. Does Christ really have first place in our hearts? Do we have a secret place we meet with Him daily? Here in America, 78% of adults claim to be Christians. There is a big majority of this nation that believes in God and that they are saved. However, how many of them truly love Him and have a relationship with Him?  Football stadiums are filled on Sundays, and many men are glued to the television. Night clubs are filled, along with the divorce court, and children are left without a mom or dad. Drugs, alcohol, pornography, and immoral living floods America. This can not be the result of the 22% that remains as non believers. The fact is we have lost the love for our first love. We have become so cold to the will of God. These are some exciting times we live in, but at the same time scary times, for the wrath of God falls on the godless. Keep watch that no one deceives you. The Lord is coming back soon. God bless you.

Made intercession for the transgressors.

"Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors" (Isaiah 53:12 NKJV). We sure have an awesome God and Savior who allowed all guilt and iniquity to lay upon His Son, that we might walk in freedom. Through His sacrifice, we are free from all the principalities and powers of the present darkness and spiritual wickedness. Jesus came to save all man kind, every child, man, and woman, and He made a way to the Throne of Grace, that all may come and rejoice with the King of Glory. Today Jesus sits at the right hand of God, standing between us and God the Father. He is interceding and intervening on all of our behalf. "Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us" (Romans 8:34 NKJV). As believers, we are covered by the atonement Christ made 2,000 years ago. If God is for us, who can be against us? God gave His son freely, so let us all walk in Christ freely. Praise God. God bless you all.

More than that.

"And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed  is  the womb that bore You, and  the  breasts which nursed You!” But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” (Luke 11:27, 28 NKJV). " The Word of God is what keeps the believer standing in the midst of this world. The Word of God is our daily bread and provision in these dark times. When the world is without, the believer that keeps God's Word is blessed and not in lack. We can't afford to ignore God's Living Word. We need to draw closer to it then ever before and live in it and by it, obeying its every instruction. Yes, Mary the mother of Jesus was blessed, and we too are blessed, for we have the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit who teaches us and interprets the very words that came from our very God. How blessed we are to have such a powerful, life changing, demon chasing, Word at our very reach. "Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it". Praise God and God Bless You.

Lord, Lord

“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?  Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:" (Luke 6:46, 47 NKJV). The Word of God has been around longer then any man, and it will stand forever. It has been given to every country, pushed out of many nations, and still remains forever holy and unchanged. It is a shame that not too many men or women desire the truth or the promises from the inextinguishable Word of God. It is time to open up the Holy Bible, and begin to build from the very words that came from a loving Father to His children. "Lord, Lord," help us learn to build on Your Word, the very foundation You have given unto all who come to You. Let us not just be hearers of the Word, but also doers, and to build on the Rock. "He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the Rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the Rock" vs. 48.  God bless you.

Turn you at my reproof:

"How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you." (Proverbs 1:22, 23 KJV) There are two questions in this one verse. One question reads: How long will many fools love their simplicity?  To have a love for self gain among the foolish things of this world is to be foolish. Wisdom cries in the gates of the city, and in modern days, from the church house . However, the simple refuse to hear the truth, and they would rather fill themselves with the foolish things of this world. The scorners take delight in mocking, for they hate knowledge and everything about it. With words of eloquence, they use their mouths to bring others to their simplicity, and they disrupt the voice of wisdom. Wisdom will never stop pleading and speaking up. She says to the simple, "Turn you at my reproof (turn to my correction) and I will pour out my spirit unto you". What a promise the Lord gives to us all. God invites all to taste and see how good He is. So, let us not forsake Wisdom. Give God praise.

I love the Lord

"I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live" (Psalm 116:1,2 KJV).  How many times have we been hit hard by the world, even to the point of giving up on life all together? David knew what it was like to be brought down and put down to the point of giving up. However, before the thought of giving up ever took him over the edge, he would run to the throne of God. He would find a place to cry out and pray to the Lord. He knew God would hear because God heard every time David called out. David had no doubt in the Lord, and he loved God for hearing his heart in his times of need. God heard him even in the times when he did not expect the Father to hear him. When death and pain surrounded him and during the times he forsook the Lord, God heard his cry. When things looked as if they couldn't get any worse, they did. "The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell got hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul." vs. 3 & 4. The Lord came to his aid and poured out His mercy upon him, just as He does today in our lives. Call upon the Lord with all your heart, and you won't regret it. He will come. God bless you.

And I Give.

"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:28 KJV). It's the season of giving, and how good it feels to have something given to you. It also feels good to give to a person who is in need and has very little hope, or to give to someone who does not expect it. How beautiful it is to give. It's beautiful just to see the reaction of one's face and the joy it brings to the heart, both to theirs and yours. I believe God's heart feels joyfully excited when He gives His children a gift from above. He so freely gives out gifts, without a grudge or a second thought. He gives to all who ask. He gave us the greatest gift in life, one that will never expire or fall apart. This gift is for life, and it will keep on shinning. It cannot be moved. It is the gift of Jesus Christ, God's only Begotten Son. What a honor it is to have been given the greatest gift of life, Jesus Christ. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will always be there with you. Give and give with an open heart, as God the Father gave, and your heart will be blessed. God bless you all.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me.

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound" (Isaiah 61:1 KJV) Jesus teaches us the whole truth. He walked the earth, not looking for fame or fortune, but to proclaim the Good News. God the Father anointed Him with power from on high to preach the unadulterated Word of God. Jesus was given the task from God, the Father, to heal. "The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent" (Ps 34:18). We are all free and stand in liberty, because of what Christ did at the Cross. When we were far from God, dead in our sins, Jesus died so that all humanity might be free. Those who are in chains, bound by addictions and lusts, can find freedom at the foot of the Cross. Jesus did what He had to do here on earth under the authority of the Father.  He is the only way to God, the Father, in Heaven. Praise Him. God bless you.

I will sing of thy power.

"But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy" (Psalm 59:16, 17 KJV). Proclaim the name of Jesus, and sing onto the Lord even when the enemy surrounds you. Make a joyful noise, and let the old devil know you have the victory. The victory comes from the One who has bruised the devil's head with His heel. Sing aloud, lift your voice to the One True God, and proclaim His mercies and loving kindness to the world. Step out into the world with God as your strength, who is strong and able to defend you as your Lord. When trouble arises and discord comes, trust in God, cry out to the heavens, and He will hear. He is our Defender, Redeemer, Savior, Counselor, and Hope in these last days. There is no other like our God, who loves all humanity with all His heart. Sing unto the Lord with a new song, and give Him Praise for He is so worthy. God Bless You

Safe and sound through Him.

"For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation  and  be made safe  and  sound through Him" (John 3:17 AMP). There is hope for the lost and freedom for the slave, just believe. Jesus came down to this earth with one purpose, and He did what He came down to do. He came to save the lost soul that is bound with sin and hurt. He came to heal the brokenhearted and to pour out the love of the Father upon that heart. He came to serve and not to be served. "While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly" (Romans 5:6 AMP). What "LOVE" and pity He has for the sinner, the drug addict, the adulterers, the homosexual, the abused, the abuser, the molested, and the molester.  For all who have fallen short of the glory of God, there is time to repent, dust yourself off, and come to Jesus, who is the Leader and Source of our faith. Give Him Praise for He is Worthy. God Bless You.
