The Lord filled the house

"So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house" (‭Ezekiel‬ ‭43‬:‭5‬ KJV). Imagine seeing the glory of the Lord fill our homes, schools, and workplaces. Wouldn't that be powerful? God is willing to show Himself to us all, but first we must be willing vessels for His glory to shine through. The Lord came to Ezekiel and told Him to go speak to the children of Israel and let them know about their transgressions, on the how far they had fallen from the Lord. They had broken His covenant and fell into idolatries, allowing themselves to be overcome by darkness. Ezekiel was not looking for popularity nor was he waiting for a paycheck, but he did the will of God. In doing so, we will not be popular or highly spoken about because as a vessel of God we will speak against darkness, sin, and the works of the flesh. In verse 10, God sends Ezekiel to speak to the house. "Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern" (Ez. 43:10). God used this prophet to speak to his children about the whoredom and wickedness they brought into their lives and the temple of God. God is willing to show up in His glory to those who are willing to speak up in the name of Jesus Christ. He's looking for that one person who has put themselves aside, allowing the Holy Spirit to saturate them in God's presence. It takes a willing vessel to be used by God. God bless you. Amen

He who dwells

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭1‬ NKJV). The secret place is a place where one can get alone with Jesus, get away from all the distractions, and find peace and reassurance. It's powerful because Jesus will come and meet us and bring rest to us. It is also a place where God begins to deal with us. He begins to deal with our will, our soul. In doing so, He brings every bit of contamination in our hearts to the surface, in order to help us realize how much we need Him. This is the work of the Holy Spirit, who will begin to analyze our intentions and bring us strength where strength is due. We fill up our arsenal in the secret place to meet a world filled with demon powers. One gets prepared to stand against darkness and all its temptations in the secret place, alone with Jesus. It is the will of God that we lay ourselves aside and let Him have reign in our hearts. Jesus said, "Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the Spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41). The flesh will always find every kind of excuse not to pray, only to live a life defeated over sin and with unfulfilled expectations. Prayer is up to us, something we must discipline ourselves to do. God bless you. Amen

When you pray

"But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly" (‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬ NKJV). Prayer is the most unused power given to man. It is a resource that very few ever use, for it is neglected and ignored. It can be a battle to get to the prayer closet every day. The flesh does not like to pray because prayer takes discipline and a desire to breakthrough the flesh. The flesh does not have the time to breakthrough. God commissions men and women in the secret place. That is the very place He speaks to them. Many men and women were called by God in the closet of prayer. They were called to do the will of God, to go out and reach a world in need. Prayer opens up the windows of heaven and pours out the power from on High. It calls upon the Lord's presence, and it allows Him to demonstrate His power through and upon that individual of prayer. Prayer must not be forsaken. It is a must for the children of God to practice. Let us not neglect our duties to call upon the Lord in the closet of prayer, that secret place. God bless you. Amen

Seek

"For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus" (‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭21‬ NKJV). Jesus can only do so much with the lukewarm believers. If they desire to live a life apart from Christ, then their lives will be self-sufficient and not God sufficient. The disciples of Jesus Christ could not see past their natural abilities. They wanted others to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, but many times they questioned it in their early walk with the Lord. Sometimes it's normal to have a little disbelief or a question about Jesus' existence, but the truth is that if one would seek out and pray to the Lord Jesus, He will make His existence real to the heart of that individual. That's why it's so important to grow in Jesus Christ in the prayer closet, away from all distractions and natural influences. This will allow the Holy Spirit to come and influence your soul in a powerful way. We are living in confused times, and man is coming in behind the pulpit, across the line, and through the world who have made it more confusing. Jesus is there to answer all your questions and to fulfill all your needs, but you have to seek Christ and the kingdom of God first. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."(‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ NKJV). God bless you. Amen

The guarantee

"In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory" (‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13-14‬ NKJV). Jesus knew that we needed more than just a belief of his existence. So, He gave us the Holy Spirit to come and live within us, to bring us life. The Holy Spirit brings us into a closer relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ. He is here to direct our path and lead us into everlasting salvation and into the Kingdom of Heaven. He is our seal, made possible by the cross. The Holy Spirit is our down payment, our guarantee that we will receive our inheritance at the resurrection. The Word of Truth is the message of Jesus Christ and the cross. It is this message that brings salvation to the heart that believes. It brings hope to the life that trusts in the message. It brings eternal salvation to those who live it. The Word of Truth will enlighten the believer, and the eyes of their hearts will be opened. The Word will illuminate Christ. He will be present, showing them the Truth. This is the power of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. Christ has greatness of power that exceeds far above all principalities, powers, and dominions. Christ has been given an exalted position, and He will remain there forever because of this finished work at the cross. "And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all (Vs. 22-23) " God bless you. Amen

Glorify God

"For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s" (‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭20‬ NKJV). Jesus knows you and I very well, even better than we know our own selves. He would like for us to know Him even greater. He wants intimacy with us. The Lord Jesus has defeated and broken every chain of darkness and shamed the principalities of the air at the cross of Calvary. He purchased every one of us with His body and blood. He paid for our debts and took them to the grave. We are not our own. We are His. We are united with Him as one in spirit and in Truth. We were once cheaters, swindlers, impure, immoral, adulterers, and drunkards, but Jesus came to wash us, cleanse us and purify us through a complete atonement for our sins. We are free from the guilt of sin through His blood. "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace" (‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ NKJV). We don't need to live a life in sin and bondage anymore. There is freedom in Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. However, many will refuse salvation because they like their sin and bondage. There is no excuse! Jesus has come to give us life in abundance. God bless you. Amen

Not in vain

"But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me" (‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭10‬ KJV). The grace of God will bless you and I. It brings the strength that we need to have when the devil comes in on his attack. When we are weak, Christ will be there to get us through the time of battle. The apostle Paul understood the grace of God in a powerful way. It quickened his heart and let him know that in his weakness and infirmities God is strong. God's grace took the apostle Paul to another level in his walk with Jesus Christ. He became totally dependent on Jesus Christ and the message of Him crucified. The Holy Spirit will also quicken everyone of us, just as He did Paul in our weaknesses and infirmities. Paul was a man hungry to do the will of Christ. He was thrown into prison many times, abandoned, stone nearly to death, shipwrecked, whipped, and beaten. This was the apostle's life, but through the sufferings he learned great obedience and dependence upon the Grace of God. The grace of God made him who he was. Nothing is going to stop this Spirit filled, Jesus chaser, man filled, and determined individual to show the world Jesus Christ and Him crucified. There should be nothing that stops the church in this late hour. If we are Spirit filled with God's Glory and Grace, hell shouldn't be able to stop us. God bless you. Amen

I will be with thee

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee" (‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭2‬ KJV). God's love, mercy, and grace will see us through today and into tomorrow. The grace of God opens up the heavens for all to receive from Him. It is a gift from God to those who are willing to obey the voice of our Lord and follow after Him. God's grace stops the overflow of the enemy. It gives us endurance, courage, and strength, which can only be drawn from God the Father through the Holy Spirit. It is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who has opened up the door of Heaven and has given us access to God's grace, his unmerited favor in our lives. The prophet Isaiah reminds the children of Israel that nothing is impossible to God or to His children, who obey His commands and statutes. God has left us with His mercy and love. However, above all He's given us His Son to accompany us, through the Holy Spirit upon this earth. Jesus has redeemed us, chosen us, and called us by name, to be His disciples, His students, and His children. Trust Him, and He will protect you. Follow Him and He will lead you into the Lord's presence. God bless you. Amen

My grace is sufficient

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me"(‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬ KJV). The grace of God brings us to a place in our lives where we can bear the cross that God has given us to carry daily. There will be times when pride may want to shoot up from within our hearts or times when temptation surrounds us and maybe we fall into it. However, God's grace is sufficient at all times. We must recognize ourselves as being weak and Christ as being strong. The Lord will try to get us to see our weakness and how weak we really are, for that is His intention. Jesus wants us to totally depend on Him, whereby we can obtain His strength through the Holy Spirit at all times. At times, the flesh can get very grievous when the thorns of sin begin to cause suffering and misery. It will begin to cause a spiritual weight upon the child of God's heart, and it brings discouragement to our lives, even to the point of hindering the work of God. Satan will always try to buffet us, just as he did the apostle Paul. In doing so, satan wants to overrule us with condemnation and guilt. However, Paul prayed during the times of affliction, with a thorn in his flesh. The Lord gave him His answer "My grace is sufficient for you." Our sufficiency is in God. God bless you. Amen

In Him was life

"In him was life; and the life was the light of men" (‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬ KJV). Jesus brought light to man, so that man can shine before a dark and weary world. Without light, none of us would be able to see where we are going. Without light, the world would be dark, gloomy, and without any life. God knew that man needed the sun to bring heat and light. It also brings growth to the plants on this earth. Just as the plants and vegetation on this earth need the sun, we, the children of God, need Jesus Christ, the True Light. He is the Light of the world, who lights the path for everyone who trust in and follows Him. He will bring growth to our lives as long as our eyes stay upon Him. A plant will follow the sun, because the sun has what the plant needs. Jesus has everything we need to grow, spiritually and physically. "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world" (John 9:5). As long as we seek Him and desire to be in His presence, we will be surrounded by the Light of the Lord. The Light of Christ consumes darkness. Darkness cannot comprehend it, nor can it absorb it. The Light of the Lord is all powerful, for there is no darkness found in the Light of Christ. As long as we are walking in the light, evil cannot harm us in any way. God bless you. Amen

I acknowledge

"For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me" (‭Psalms‬ ‭51‬:‭3‬ KJV). King David knew he had committed horrible sins, and the only way to get peace in his soul was to breakthrough to God. Just as David did, we too must recognize and acknowledge that we are sinners, a people who have fallen short of the glory of God. We live in a nation who has opened up the doors to allow Satan to corrupt and destroy everything he can get his hands on. Some states allow gay marriage to be practiced and other states allow drugs to be legalized. How far we have fallen from the Truth! David committed adultery. Then, he had one of his very loyal men murdered. However, when it all came down upon his heart, he realized the only way to have peace was to surrender to God the Father. He knew something about the presence of God. He knew that if he would just get into God's presence, he would be delivered from a broken heart and a crushed spirit and his sins and iniquities would be forgiven and taken away. This could only happen if he fell upon his knees and cried out to God above for salvation. Jesus is the only answer! We, the body of Christ, need to cry out for our nations, families, and loved ones, so that they do not get caught up in the worldliness that flirts with the flesh. King David overcame, but to do so he had to acknowledge the sin upon his heart. Acknowledge the sin upon your heart and confess it to Jesus Christ, for He is faithful to forgive. Let a fresh new start begin with Jesus. God bless you. Amen

Into the Kingdom

"Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son" (‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬ KJV). Deliverance through the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed at Calvary has brought life to you and I this day. There is no greater life than to live in the Light of the Almighty God, who gives life to those who desire and love to be in His presence. Jesus came to show us real life, the life of God that may shine in our lives as we live for Him daily. He delivered us from the powers of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of Jesus Christ. We do not deserve what Jesus has done for all humanity, yet He gives us a free gift of redemption through the power of His grace. His Word is sharper than any two edged sword. It analyzes the very intent of our hearts. That is powerful, for He sees all and knows all about you and I. He knows whether we are for real with Him or not, whether we're totally serving Him with a full heart or just as little as we can to get by. However, He is still going to love us either way because He is love. "And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight. Continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and being moved away from the Hope of the gospel..." (V: 21,22). God bless you. Amen

Wash me throughly

"Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin"(‭Psalms‬ ‭51‬:‭2‬ KJV). Cleanse me Oh Lord. Wash me with the very Word of God that will bring every contamination out of my heart, so that I may recognize it and surrender to you. The world must see Jesus Christ and His power. They desire something new, and it is up to the church to allow God to purge them from all iniquity and sin, so that they may shine bright with Christ in this last day. This is serious folks! We live in serious times. People are getting sick with plagues, storms are tearing apart our homes, and fires are consuming the land. It's time to allow the Holy Spirit to stir you up in Jesus and to stand with God, our Lord and our Savior. The patriarchs stood on the Truth. They were immovable in faith. All they desired was that the Word of God, the Truth, be preached and taken to the farthest of regions. They did their job by keeping the fire of God's presence here on this earth for generations to come. It is our duty also to prepare the next generation to seek the face of God. Rekindle the fire, the gifts of God within you, and don't hesitate. Step out in faith, in response to the voice of the Lord. It is time. Hear the voice of God and move with His voice. God bless you. Amen

He prayed earnestly

"Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months"(‭James‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ KJV). Elijah prayed seven times, and the rain came upon the land. We must be in one accord with the Holy Spirit and allow Him to use us as an instrument of prayer. Elijah was not there to please himself, nor was he looking to be exalted by man. He was there commissioned by God, and he prayed. He had his fears and faced many temptations, just as we do in our own eyes. However, he was a man subject to God, willing to do what our Lord asked him to do. His love for God and a deep intimacy in prayer is what kept Elijah in obedience to the call of God. Fervent prayer from a righteous person will bring rain from Heaven to a dry and weary land. However, one must confess their sins and open up their hearts unto the Only True God. "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (‭v 5‬:‭16‬ KJV)." When we confess our faults one to another, it opens up the heavens and allows God to heal the heart. Effectual fervent prayers move the hand of God and makes one pliable and ready to do the will of God. Elijah got to the point in his life where he could do nothing but trust in God our Lord. There's something about prayer and allowing the presence of God to take over. Men and women begin to transform into the image of God ready to do what God's heart desires. God bless you. Amen

Between two opinions

"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word" (‭1 Kings‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬ KJV). The prophet Elijah was on a mission for God. God let him know that it would take a famine to wake up the children of Israel. So, it did not rain for three years. Then, God was ready to rain upon His people, not only with rain from the sky but with the rain from Heaven. Holy Ghost Revival will always analyze the heart of man, and God has seen the evil that has come upon His children through man. God will always send a man of God, a man that has been shut in alone in the wilderness and surrounded by God's glory, to His people. We live in a time where very few men are shut in with Him, alone with God. Many have stepped out of the prayer closet and have abandoned it for self pleasure and glory. It hurts me to see men and women of God, who know the truth, preaching and speaking half truth. They are compromising with the truth. They are pulling souls in the opposite direction of the truth of God. It's time to wake up! These are the days of the antichrist spirit. It has come into America so cunningly. It has blinded many ministers and leaders of the church from seeing the full picture. It is no different than the day when Jezebel took control of the nation of Israel, deceiving it, seducing it, and causing them to worship idols. Israel's prophets were blinded and full of falseness and deception. We should not have to compromise the truth that Jesus has given us to speak. Listen to what the Spirit is telling the church, our very souls.God bless you. Amen

It is the Spirit

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭63‬ KJV). As we live today, our Lord Jesus Christ has made a way for you and I to have life and peace. Through Him and in Him we will find rest, peace, comfort, and genuine life. As we look out to the world today, there is a lot of chaos that surrounds our nations. There isn't that much peace in this world any longer, for many organizations have taken a stand against Christianity and the truth that it teaches everyone of us to obey. We must remember the words Jesus spoke to us on the day that we were set free. On that day, He filled us with the Holy Spirit, and on that day our needs were met. There's no turning back, for we the church have been purchased by the blood of Jesus. His very blood brings life to the soul that is in need. His blood brings life to the sinner who cries out to Him for salvation. His blood still sets the sinner free. The apostles had to fight spiritually, and they are the same battles that we fight today. They were commanded and commissioned to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the world. Today the majority of the world has heard the Gospel, but there is a need of the power of the Holy Spirit behind it. The church in the book of Acts was motivated and moved by the Holy Spirit. Signs and wonders followed them wherever they went. The Holy Spirit must be preached and taught, and we must be available to Him, to reach a world in need today. Without the Holy Spirit, we do all things in vain. God bless you. Amen

Believed

"Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand" (‭Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ KJV). The devil does not like to see or hear the sound of revival cry out from the hearts of believers. The enemy will use everything he can to distract others from hearing the Truth. However, that won't stop a Spirit filled man or woman from preaching and teaching Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The moment persecution falls upon the born again child of God, the Holy Spirit arises in a powerful way and there is no quenching that fire. Man has tried to put the fire out, only to find themselves fighting against God. "But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God" (‭Acts‬ ‭5‬:‭39‬ KJV). Man cannot stop a praying man or woman who knows the King of Glory. The Lord is among those who trust in Him, those who have decided to take up the call of Christ in their lives. We serve Almighty God. He sets a standard up when the devil comes in like a flood, trying to drown you and I in this world. When we take the message of Christ Jesus to heart and allow Christ to really move us forward, then the Holy Spirit will fill us and use us for His will. Some will accept the Message and the Spirit of God will pierce their hearts, and others will reject it because the message of Christ crucified is foolishness to those who are perishing with unbelief. Just remember, it's all done through the Holy Spirit. God bless you. Amen

And when they prayed

"And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness" (‭Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭31‬ KJV). Enough of the threats by the enemy. Peter and the rest the disciples were laboring in the name of Jesus Christ, and there came threats towards them because of the name of Jesus, whom they taught and preached about. Instead of letting the chief priests and elders stop them from doing what they were taught to do, they continued to press through in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to give them boldness to speak The Word of the Lord. The place where they were assembled together, all in one accord, began to shake, and once again they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, which was ready to lead and guide them. There are going to be many times in your ministry that you will need to go and cry out for boldness to come against the enemy of these last days. These men and women were refreshed with the Holy Spirit, ready to meet the new day, and gave God praise for their victory in Jesus Christ. Multitudes came together in one heart and one soul, giving what they possessed to the church to watch it grow. This started something that man could not stop, and the power of the Holy Spirit began to move through individuals who were willing to be vessels for the will of God the Father. Throughout the rest of their lives, they were persecuted, outcasts, and martyred for the name they believed in, trusted in, and loved, Jesus Christ. Are you willing to be a vessel for God the Father? Are you willing to be available for the Holy Spirit? God bless you. Amen

What shall we do?

"Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?"(‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭37‬ KJV). The Holy Spirit fell upon 120 God fearing, God seeking, people. Peter, being filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke up when they were accused of being drunk. Filled with the Holy Ghost, Peter spoke to these men as they stood and heard every word. At the end of his message, they asked, "what shall we do". Peter said "repent". This was the beginning of revival. Today we serve the same God that poured out the Holy Spirit upon the first church, and He is willing to do the same right now upon every church. We must see revival manifested to the heart of the child of God in the streets of our cities and in our homes. Revival is talked about, preached about, and many times prayed about. However, the only way our countries are going to see the true revival of the Holy Spirit is through the heart that is a willing vessel. One must be willing to separate themselves from the world and the lusts and sensualities that pull at the heart. There is a hunger that is growing in this world to know Christ Jesus. There are young people who are desiring to know something greater. The world has given them just a mere blemish of entertainment, for a moment of time, and then it's gone, leaving them empty. The church no longer has an altar for the sinner to run to, nor is there a conviction of the Holy Spirit coming from the pulpit. Peter preached a message that was anointed and given by the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit moved thousands towards the heart of God. The Holy Spirit is looking for a vessel who is willing to be separated and willing to pay the price for Jesus Christ. God bless you. Amen

A new heart

"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh" (‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36‬:‭26‬ KJV). The heart of God's disciple is a heart of meekness, humility, and servant hood. This can only come from the Holy Spirit and none other. Books, programs, seminars, and man cannot plant this kind of heart into a man. It is God's Spirit that brings such a heart. He convicts the soul of their unholy living, which gives that soul a choice of whether to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit or not. The children of Israel had gone far from the Lord and committed all kinds of iniquities, but there will come a new birth and Israel will be restored. The Lord prophesied it through Ezekiel that He would restore Israel, by bringing them back from Babylonian captivity. In doing so, God will wash them, cleanse them from all their iniquities, and restore them into the land of their fathers. They shall live prosperous. The same goes for the born-again believer in this late hour. When we allow the Holy Spirit to remove the lawlessness inside of us and when we allow Him to live permanently within us, we will see life in a clearer way. God bless you. Amen

Sharper then any two edged sword

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ KJV). It is the Holy Spirit that delivers the message through the Word of God. He wrote everything you and I ever need to know about God the Father. It is the Holy Spirit that speaks to the hearts and minds of men. The Holy Spirit will show us what is in our hearts. It is up to you and I to obey the voice of the Spirit of God. The voice of God is pure and holy. He speaks nothing but the Truth. However, if we're walking in the flesh and living an unconsecrated life, how can we ever expect to hear the voice of God speaking to our hearts? The Holy Spirit will speak to the heart of man, to those who are willing to hear His voice. They are excited and wait patiently in expectation, knowing that God will speak. We must be available and pliable to the Spirit of God. Our old self must go to the cross in order for the Holy Spirit to have room in our lives. One must be willing to lay aside self. It is hard to hear God's voice when we have our hearts set on hearing other things that are pleasing to the flesh. There's so much distraction that runs within our hearts, our homes, and all around us. The distractions can be used as a tool from the enemy to distract you and I from hearing the voice of God. Let us get to know the voice of God in our hearts and stop ignoring what He is saying and instructing us, His children, to do. God bless you. Amen

I send you forth

"Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves" (‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬ KJV). Send me Lord to the valleys and up the mountains to proclaim Jesus crucified to a nation who is desperately in need of the love of Jesus Christ. I believe many in the church house today are ready to go receive the harvest, to go out from the church and proclaim Jesus Christ to them. I believe the church is ready. Jesus told His disciples to go into the world proclaiming the Good News, yet He also said to be aware because He is sending us as lambs among the wolves. This world is a mean place, and it has no respect for any living soul. People are using drugs, being murdered in cold blood, are in prostitution, are sex trafficking, and all other wickedness is in our countries. The place Jesus is going to send His disciples, those who are born-again and Spirit filled, is the place where they will come face to face with the devil. He's going to send them where wickedness and darkness have dominion and where children are lost and abused because their parents are strung out on drugs. Christ needs laborers to go out among the wolves and proclaim the Gospel, the message of Jesus Christ, to them.The Holy Spirit will put a burning within us to step out into the streets and neighborhoods, into the devils territory, to bring the Light of Christ to the lost and blind. We do not do this ignorantly, but we are driven by the Spirit of God, by the Holy Ghost, who speaks to our hearts with a great burden for the lost. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and allow Him to direct your heart into nations that are in need of Jesus Christ. God bless you. Amen

The Harvest truly is great

"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest" (‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭2‬ KJV). The harvest is waiting for the laborers to go out and reach it. Before Christ ascended into Heaven, He spoke to His disciples and let them know that their duty as a follower of Jesus Christ is to go out into all the nations preaching the Gospel of Christ and testifying of our Lord. Mighty signs and wonders would follow them as they put their faith in the One True God. The great commission is also for us today in this late hour, for many are in need in our cities, towns, and countries. We can't afford to sit back and let man organize, program, and dictate where our children's future will take them. Jesus has commissioned every believer to arise and preach the Good News. Time is running out. It is getting late, Church. We have to do something. It isn't enough just going to a service or a prayer meeting, but the Spirit of God must lead us into the streets of our nations, into this world, and to the will of God. Don't let time occupy you with its demands and appointments. Understand that most of us have a life and work, but let's live for Jesus Christ who died to save us. At your workplace, tell someone about our Savior, our Redeemer, and our Lord . Tell someone along the street about Jesus. Tell them how good He is, how faithful He is, and how powerful His love is. God bless you. Amen

IAM the way

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ KJV). There is only one way to God the Father, who is in heaven above sitting on His throne, and it is through the Door. There are many religions out there that claim that there are many avenues to Heaven. However, the Holy Bible only speaks of one way to Heaven, and it is through the Door, which is Jesus Christ. Don't be fooled by man's theory, his philosophy, and his religious rhetoric. The Bible says Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I'm amazed at how many denominations do not believe that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. One can't get to Heaven because they are nice or give to the poor. No, our faith must be in Jesus Christ and Him only. He is the way to Heaven. He is our bridge to eternal life. "Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep." (‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭7‬ KJV). All who desire to be saved and on the path to everlasting life must first enter through the Door. Jesus is the great Shepherd and we are His sheep, who obey His voice, and in doing so we will be in Christ and Him in us. There is only one way to Heaven, and there are a million ways to Hell. Which path are you on? God bless you. Amen

The Grace of God

"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world" (‭Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭11-12‬ KJV). God's grace has appeared to all men. Everyone has seen the grace of God work at least once in their lives. God has given us grace to overcome the temptations that we face each day. It is given to us to overcome all ungodliness and the lusts that haunt man. God's grace is powerful, and it is enough to get us through the times we live in. The Apostle Paul speaks to us, saying that in our weaknesses God's grace is sufficient. "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me" (‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬ KJV). As believers, our Lord is not going to leave us helpless. He has given us everything we need to survive in this world, whether it be physically or spiritually. The grace of God shows us how to stand up in Jesus Christ in these days that we live in, and it gives us a greater and deeper desire to live for Him. None of us deserve God's grace, but it is a gift from God above to everyone of us. Jesus demonstrated this powerful grace by going to the cross and dying for us all. God's grace brings salvation to all who except God by faith. How wonderful the grace God is that was bestowed upon all humanity. It teaches us and brings all who believe to salvation. God bless you. Amen

Habitual fellowship

"And Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God; and he was not, for God took him [home with Him]" (‭Genesis‬ ‭5‬:‭24‬ AMP). The only way we can see Jesus is by living for Jesus. We have a choice each day to walk with Christ or on our own. Enoch had the same choice everyday to walk with God, and through his choices he was taken up to Heaven by God. Christ Jesus is looking for fellowship from every born-again believer. He come to save the lost, the sinner, and in doing so He desires fellowship from us. Elisha recognized the power and the presence of God when Elijah put his mantle upon him. He knew there was something different about this man who walked alone. The young man, Elisha, said farewell to his mom and dad and began to follow this powerful man of God, never looking back to his old life. There is something about the presence of God that will attract everyone of us. It is powerful and unusual too those who are unfamiliar with it. The Spirit of God is here to dwell and live within every born-again child of God, and He will draw the soul of the lost unto it. Peter dropped his net and let go of his occupation to follow after Christ Jesus the Messiah. Three and a half years later he was preaching the biggest revival Jerusalem had ever seen. Three thousand or more people were saved during this Holy Ghost revival. Lives were being saved, healed, and restored in the name of Jesus Christ. God has a plan for everyone of us, and it begins only when we stand up and start walking with Him. God bless you. Amen

He received sight

"And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized."(‭Acts‬ ‭9‬:‭18‬ KJV). The apostle Paul was not about to quit doing the will of God. He was baptized in the Holy Spirit being able to see the manifestation of our Lord in his own life. Paul lived a powerful life, he lived with ups and downs sufferings and pains, good times and bad times, but he never gave up. He was a man that persecuted Christians, that wanted to see everyone of us put in prison for our belief in Jesus Christ and His resurrection from the dead. But God had a different plan for this man. Paul seen Jesus Christ in His glory and in doing so he was blinded, but it was until the Holy Spirit came to him that he was able to see the Real truth. The Holy Spirit will always speak to our hearts in a powerful way, we just got to stop and listen to what He has to say. He must be louder than the voices of the natural in our hearts. The Holy Spirit put inside the apostle Paul a determination beyond man's natural ability. He filled him with the love of God, to go preach repentance to the Gentile nations to bring site to the blind man, and to set free those who were trapped in darkness by Satan. Where are the Paul's of today the men and women that will step out into the world and proclaim the gospel of Christ. I believe we will see them in this last hour. God bless you. Amen

I will send Him unto you.

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you" (‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭7‬ KJV). Jesus died on the cross not to get you and I to God, but to bring God into our lives. Jesus came and died on the cross not only to redeem mankind back to God the Father through the blood covenant, but He came that He may also live through us. God has a plan for every one of us. It is a powerful plan, and the only one that can allow God's plans to manifest in their lives is that person themselves. The Holy Spirit will reveal the plan God has for that individual right to their heart. So many of us are without excuse. God has called every born again believer to His great plan. This great plan begins with the living witness within us, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has been given unto us to proclaim God's plan for humanity here on this earth. Under the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, man was called to proclaim the Gospel to those who are under the power of darkness. The only thing that can stop the plan of God is the human heart, yet it is only through the heart that God can manifest His plan through the individual. Let's be available for God, and see what He has planned for our lives and those around us. God bless you. Amen

On every side

"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed" (‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭8-9‬ KJV). They are not going to treat me any better then they treated Christ. Jesus was rejected and despised by His own people. Many came to Him, then abandoned their desires for Him. At the end of Jesus' life, many who once recognized Him as a man of humility and a man with great love for the children of man, we're now saying "crucify Him". He was spit on, whipped, punched, and nailed to a cross for a crime He did not do. These people could not accept the Truth, but rather hung it on a tree. We live in the same world Christ walked in. Just as the devil came against Jesus, beware that he will come after you and I also. "From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus" (‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ KJV). The Apostle Paul saw nothing greater in his life than the love of Jesus Christ. He was not about to stop being a vessel for the Holy Spirit, even if it meant his life. Everyone of us who stand in the name of Jesus Christ will be persecuted and abandoned by those we love. God bless you. Amen

Delayed

"Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, 'Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him'” (‭Exodus‬ ‭32‬:‭1‬ NKJV). As long as the children of Israel followed the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, they had victory over the enemy. God will always be there for us, even when it does not seem like He is. The mountain trembled and shook with the presence of God. Moses was called by the Lord to go up and commune with Him. While he was gone, the children of Israel began to worry and grow impatient. So, they decided to stand up to Aaron and have him make them a god, just like the ones they had in Egypt. So, he did what they asked. He made a golden calf so that the children of Israel may worship it. How funny it is that we know where the presence of God is, just as did the children of Israel did, but the carnal minded person has no patience to wait upon the Lord, nor do they have the time to worship God the Father. So, they will chase after the old idols and assume they are okay by doing so. Only the Word of God can take the old slave out of us. No man can, no drugs can, and surely nothing from this world can, but it is only the presence of The Lord that can deliver us. Jesus made it very clear in the Gospel of John, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing"(John 15:5). We can do nothing apart from Christ. Apart from the glory of God, we are lifeless, barren, dried up, and living after old idols. Get into the presence of the Lord and allow Him to move within you so that you can be fruitful in these end times. God bless you. Amen

You Lord

"...They have heard that You, LORD, are among these people; that You, LORD, are seen face to face and Your cloud stands above them, and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night" (‭Numbers‬ ‭14‬:‭14‬ NKJV). Seek the Lord with all your heart and you will not regret it. The only way Moses was going to continue his walk with the Lord was as long as the Lord was with him. God was always there. All Moses had to do was call upon Him. Moses learned quickly that without the Lord He was not going to get very far. He could not stand before Pharaoh on his own, but only through the power of God. Moses recognized the cloud that covered them during the day. God had the children of Israel follow the cloud, which was a representation of the glory of God, in the day time. If one stepped out from the covering of the cloud, they would fall into heat exhaustion. The cloud kept them from the great heat of the desert and protected them from the scorching sun that would burn their skin. At night, Moses learned to follow the pillar of fire, which represented Christ and the glory of God. It kept them from freezing during the cold desert nights. Moses understood the presence of God, and he learned that by getting into God's presence daily he would have victory. There is no exception for the believer today. We too must follow the glory of God and get into His presence daily. The Apostle Paul also learned that there was nothing greater than the presence of God in his life. He counted everything he had learned before, in his old life, a loss to win Christ. We must seek God for our lives. God bless you. Amen
