you are not un-fixable

some live stuck in the past some live focusing on their planned future missing the present some are living for the new year working on their resolutions missing the present many complaints and little thankfulness . a lot of why's and what if's and now they live with another day missed.

are you ready to move past the roadblocks and step out of the prison cell of your mind and all that you have locked up in your heart that has kept you bound in chains in a dark prison cell ? those things kept secret and locked away in your heart are not a secret kept from God . He knows and He wants to set you free. come to Him with your mask off. Those who work hard to remain self-sufficient and avoid God are wasting their life away.

you are not un-fixable you are not beyond repair don't believe the lies.
there is Hope in Christ Jesus still saves heals and makes whole . He makes all things new and He is calling you to come to Him today.

The only message in that bottle you're drinking & sipping from is empty !

The only message in that bottle you're drinking & sipping from is empty !
bonfires & beers laughter & cheers drunken nights throwing up
happiness for a moment temporary fix mask your hurt & pain wake up feeling the same empty & broke looking & searching working and saving
nothing changes for good , good friends you search for in the wrong crowd
wowed for a moment late night walks by the river people every where all lost drinking from the same bottle with the same message empty ! come to Jesus . okay you came to Him once maybe twice that's nice but you still never truly came to cling to Christ. He is not the blame people are not the blame the issue that remains is a heart issue !

every Christian goes through trials and hardships

every Christian goes through trials and hardships sometimes to drawl us closer sometimes to keep us humble it doesn't matter how faithful or how obedient you are . You are going to go through trials hardships & suffering . No servant is greater than his Master.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every s...ide, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. - 2 Corinthians 4:7-12

don't stop praying don't stop believing keep pressing in keep pressing on

don't stop praying don't stop believing keep pressing in keep pressing on . keep planting seeds of Truth . for those going through the fire and you feel like you have been thrown in the furnace you are not alone and you are blessed just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were ! for those of you who are faithfully and obediently serving the Lord and you are in a place of waiting and have been looking as to how the Lord is gonna do it , stop worrying & stressing and trust in the Lord with all your heart by faith believing that the Lord is going to make a way just as He did for Abraham . be encouraged today And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.

 

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
no matter what the circumstances look like no matter how people have rejected your request for help have faith do not waver . But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down. By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land. By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac.

Not one of us chose God

Not one of us chose God . He chose us. I realize that my very thought to come to the Lord was given to me by the Lord my action of coming to the Lord was the work of His spirit drawling me to Him.my salvation is all a work of His spirit nothing of myself nothing of my efforts abilities or any of my deeds nor of my own strength or wisdom but all through faith by His Grace leaving me nothing of self... to boast about. for His purpose for His Glory He chose me and has empowered me by His spirit to walk with Him seek Him follow Him and obey Him. for His purpose for His Glory I've been chosen called and ordained that I should Go and bring forth fruit and that my fruit should remain . how is this fruit produced and how does it remain ? by the continuing work of His Holy Spirit. being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in me He will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. am I perfect ? no ! of course at times I fall short and that is when I need to be renewed in the spirit of my mind confess and repent and prayerfully follow instruction casting down

imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. am I perfect ? no ! Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you.

Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Love that moves with compassion

some will never truly have the Love that moves with compassion. our witness must be led by the spirit of the Lord. there are many scriptures where it reads that when Jesus saw them He moved with compassion. one has to truly know His Love having experienced The power of His love in order to see the broken and move with compassion and show them the Love of Christ. Leadership & Ministry is only effective if we are allowing the Holy spirit to lead us and speak to us and through us. there are many times when I have spoke boldly only as the Lord leads though. we have to have His balance which comes by His leading. He knows when to move with compassion and when to chasten . when we are led by the Lord the message He gives us to speak will uplift encourage and build up some and at the same time some will be convicted some may even be offend. the Truth goes without compromise always and Lord is able to speak such a message through us that will not return void but it shall accomplish that which He pleases,and it shall prosper in the thing whereto He sent it.

your attitude determines a lot

a key thing I have learned in the trials valleys struggles and obstacles is that your attitude determines a lot. you can endure it with a bad attitude and become paralyzed from growth and progress. but when you look at it with the attitude that there is something to be gained from all of this something to learn and most importantly you have to trust God with all of your heart are times are in His ...hands and we ought to allow the trials tests valleys struggles and obstacles to draw us closer to God and trust Him even more. don't give in and submit to how things look sure it might look impossible right now but for God with God and through God nothing is impossible. the best way to stand is in prayer, if you lean upon your own understanding strength and ability its like quick sand you will collapse and fall quick sinking in the circumstances . Jesus is our hope in the night in the midst of dark storms Jesus is our hope our strength joy peace our refuge and strong tower . allow your life to be built on the right foundation which is the Lord Jesus .

Jesus didn't tell us about the signs of the endtimes to distract us

Jesus didn't tell us about the signs of the endtimes to distract us He told us to warn & prepare us. a large percentage of Christians have become so distracted by all that is taking place through out the world.some have become so consumed with distractions that that's all they see & talk about many have forgot the Great commission . sleeping followers its time to wake up get up stand up and go out . how many souls do you think were saved through paul preaching poltics ? or preaching about murders and tornado's etc.. NONE ! right now and everyday after now is a urgent time to preach the Gospel and compel them to come in that the Lords House may be full. don't let distractions drain the oil in your Lamp, How can a Lamp with no oil shine in the darkness ? or how can a dim Lamp Light the way? balance is needed many spend much time talking about the church instead of going out and actually being the church. and when in fellowship with our brethren we ought to be praying together & edifying one another building each other up in the faith.

come to the Lord seek Him while He may be found

no matter what your situation is no matter what the current circumstances are nothing is too hard for God all things are possible. you are not too lost to be saved listen Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Humbly cry out to the Lord confessing & repenting of your sins . Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient,ye shall eat the good of the land:but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword:for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way,and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely

The word of the Lord

when a prophet speaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid if him.How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;  which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.  The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.  Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.  Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. this post is from scripture in Deuteronomy and Jeremiah.

a little encouragement for today and days to come

2 Timothy speaks of perilous times and Ephesians 5 says 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. in Daniel it says for that that is determined shall be done. Proverbs 3 says 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear,
neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. many Christians are distracted by all that is going on Trust in the Lord stay focused on Jesus . And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. much is going to happen in the days to come. pray without ceasing and go out into all the world and be salt and Light to them who are sitting in darkness PREACH THE GOSPEL

what you feed is what will grow

Feed bitterness it will grow feed depression it will grow feed your stress by focusing more and more on all that's wrong it will grow . feed this race war the media is creating racism will grow like it has and riots will break out. gotta redirect your focus feed your faith and it will grow ! every one is well aware of how evil the days we are living in are right now. but how many Christians are willing to take a stand and start praying without ceasing and then stand up and be salt and light in the midst of all of the darkness ? persecution is real and it will come but if you have counted the cost to follow Jesus then you know you will be hated by the world you will suffer and be persecuted. you cannot carry a cross without suffering! judge not lest ye be judged is the most quoted scripture by the majority of Christian church buildings when a bold Christian who refuse to compromise preaches against sins they are called judgemental . why though if someone steals from you do you call them a thief? doesn't make sense that you can call them a thief because they stoled from you but yet if a Christian brother or sister speaks against certain sin in your life you call them judgemental. hypocritical huh ? yep and if you would keep reading past that verse judge not lest ye be judged then you would see that the judgement Jesus spoke against was those who hypocritical Judge having the same spec in their eyes. example of hypocritical judgement is this --> if I was stealing and I tell you to repent of stealing then that's hypocritical.

 

many '' Christians '' miss the fact that Jesus instructs us to judge with righteous Judgement . when Jesus spoke about false prophets Jesus said you would know them by their fruit . how will you know them by their fruit if you aren't Judging ? how can you be ok with abortion which is murder but you are furious about a cop killing someone ? hypocritical of you ? yes it is. if you were about to walk into a building highly contagious of a disease that can kill you would you want some one to warn you ? of course you would. so why do you get upset when some one warns you of things that will spiritually kill you and things that are leading you on a path to hell ?

fighting against your brethren ? Heed this word

one can scripturally discern when a brother or sister is walking in the spirit of Lord and when they are walking in the flesh. the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

I have seen more ...and more lately situations arise between brethren and it has been on display for the public and the evidence clearly shows they were not walking in the spirit but in the flesh being carnally puffed up against one another. it seems that in that moment they have forgotten who the real enemy is and because of emotion and acting out in the flesh they forgot that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

be mindful of this ---> 1 Peter 2:19-23) 19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously. These brothers and sisters on here who are fighting against each other know the word they follow the Lord but have not followed in the Lord example in this matter. therefore they need to repent .

1 Corinthians 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 

be mindful of what scripture says concerning this ---> Matthew 5:23-24) 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Matthew 6:14-15) 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

colossians 3:12-14) 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering. 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness

 

James 4:16-17) 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Proverbs 28:14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble

 

If you refuse to forgive them then I want to remind you what scripture says

Matthew 18:21-35) 21 Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me. 33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Repent of the working of your carnal flesh that was manifested toward your brother repent of the arrogance pride and self-righteousness.

1 Corinthians 1:12-13) 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.  13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 

1 Corinthians 3:1- 17) And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.  2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.  3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?  4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?  5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?  6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.  7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.  8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.  9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.  11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;  13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.  14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.  15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.  16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?  17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

1 Corinthians 4:6  And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

Romans 12:3  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Ecclesiastes 7:16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

Romans 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear.

Every Nation that has forgot God every person who rejects the Lord Jesus Christ

Every Nation that has forgot God every person who rejects the Lord Jesus Christ still has this hope of seeing the Salvation of the Lord if they heed His warnings repenting of their evil deeds and turn to Christ .

Ezekiel 14:12-23

12 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, 13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it: 14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God.

15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts: 16 though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.

17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: 18 though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.

19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: 20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness. 21 For thus saith the Lord God; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?

22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it. 23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.

 

A word to be heeded

Pride is the root where many sins begin jealousy envy slander and gossip lead to biting and devouring one another.bitterness and unforgiveness lead to betrayal and the love of many waxing cold. Be alert sober and vigilant praying always everywhere about everything without ceasing. These times we are living in are perilous times. love not in word only but in deed and in truth. Walk in boldness being courageous enough to warn the wicked keep your hands free & clean from the blood of others .whether they hear & heed the warning or not it's up to them to receive or reject. But if you warn them whether they turn or not your hands shall be clean . If you do not warn them then there blood shall be on your hands.God bless you all may we all walk In the spirit of the Lord as comissioned. And may we speak only what thus saith The Lord. My friends redeem the time the days are evil . Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Now is not the time to compromise

encouragement to be applied to our daily walk

yes we need to be fellowshipping with eachother and diligently & earnestly pray for one another. praise God Jesus is The Author and Finisher of our Faith. His Grace is sufficient and His strength is perfected in our weakness. at times we may get overwhelmed distracted by circumstances and discouraged But Jesus says in (Matthew 11:28-30) Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: (Hebrews 10:24-25) ---> not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.( Psalm 133:1-3)---> Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!It is like the precious ointment upon the head,that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion:for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.(1 Peter 4:12-19) ---> Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. Acts 14:22 --> confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.( Acts 6:4) But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

Encouraging Word

I am not sure who this is specifically for but I am sure that it will reach the person or persons who it is for. stop putting so much pressure on yourself feeling like you need to figure it all out and understand all things. stop exhausting yourself in your study. there is a difference between hunger for the word and feeling obligated to constantly zoom through scripture after scripture. slow down... be still wait upon the Lord and listen .what you are doing is like swallowing food with out chewing and swallowing food with out chewing it doesn't digest very well. you have to surrender and submit to God and His Leadership and lose the mindset of self-sufficiency .you put much pressure and weight upon yourself and it has lead to exhaustion but Jesus is saying come to ME and I will give you rest. your methods of how you are doing things have self written all over it. your methods of how you are doing things have been a roadblock to your spiritual Growth. Jesus has sent the Comforter His Holy Spirit who will lead you into all Truth if you are ready and truly hungry .blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. you wonder why you are not hearing from the Lord and it is because you have allowed self to step in the way and have allowed self to do the directing . the Lord has not left you nor forsaken you. He is with you right now. with your whole heart cry out to Him seek Him thank Him and praise Him. the Lord is Faithful be confident of this very thing that He who has begun a good work in you will continue to perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ. stop overwhelming yourself with worries of whether the Lord is pleased or not will how much knowledge you have . the Lord is Looking at your faithfulness to Him . therefore tonight respond in obedience and submit yourself to Him cling to the King . its not about how many people respond to your witness for Christ its about your faithfulness to the Lord . stop focusing so much on everyone else's walk their gifts calling and how much Bible knowledge they have. envy not . trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding and acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path. thy word is lamp unto our feet and a Light unto our path. the entrance of thy word gives light. seek the Lord diligently . Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

the One True Gospel must be preached. people must be warned that not everyone goes to Heaven. the way is narrow that leads to life and few there be that find it. many are called but few are chosen. living your own way on your own terms and even doing good things will not get you into Heaven . God's word declares that our righteousness is as filthy rags . self-righteousness must be put away put off . Jesus Christ is The Way The Truth and The Life. there is other way . most are familiar with the quote actions speak louder than words. many say they believe in God but by their actions they deny God. many continue to live how they want and are convinced that as long as they believe God exists they can live how ever and do whatever because God is Gracious and Merciful and Loving. Paul warned us not to receive Grace in vain . sadly many not only receive it in vain they also deny the power of God some just flat out deceived and some know better but think they can just keep on continuing in sin . what did paul say ?

 

---> What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Jesus said in John 15 that ---> If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

that is pretty easy to understand right ? pretty much Jesus said a man that doesn't abide in Him is a branch fit to be burned. ouch!!

 

for those who do not have a relationship with God and for those who are religious going through the motions with God and have not truly repented of your sinful lifestyle heed this it is high time to awake out of spiritual sleep call out to Jesus
He makes all things new . when you respond to the Lord's call to repent and turn away from sin and your self righteousness and humbly acknowledge and confess that your life in your own hands is a sinful mess spiraling out of control on a wide path that leads to destruction and you lose all self-sufficiency & commit your whole heart to Jesus MY GOD He is ever so Merciful and Mighty to save He cleanses and washes us from the stains of sin and breaks our chains and He tears down the strongholds of wrong thinking & beliefs . Jesus makes you feel brand new when He touches your life He makes us a new creation in Christ old things pass away and all things become new. and what that means is old desires and pursuits old ways of thinking and doing things pass away. that my friend is called being born again . and you must be born again . Jesus said ---> Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 

my friends this walk with God is worth it. it will cost you so be sure to count the cost.
Jesus said we must lose our life to find life. Jesus gives us all this invitation ---> He said that If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. I warn you that old friends may reject you mock you disown you betray you even persecute you. but I say this with all my heart it is WORTH IT.

For You and I and all mankind Jesus The Christ made a way for us , He is that way He is that One True Love that willingly laid down His Life and shed His Blood at the cross , Nails in His feet nails in His hands as they were stretched out on the cross reaching for us His side was pierced He endured so much for us paying a debt that you and I could never of paid. It is finished paid in full Jesus is the way the Truth and the Life. His Grace is sufficient to empower us to obey His commands . His Grace is sufficient enough to empower us with the strength to endure anything and lead us continually fighting the good fight of faith, will you lay hold on Eternal Life and start living for Eternity today ?

 

this life here on earth is temporary . life is like a vapor and no one is promised tomorrow. sadly daily many reject Jesus foolishly thinking that they have all kinds of time to get right with God. sadly many die daily without embracing the promise of Eternal life with God.

many ignorantly and foolishly believe the deception in the world from false prophets & false teachings that all roads lead to God and everyone gets into Heaven.

many pastors do funerals daily and many of those pastors have blood on their hands and are on their way too hell and are taking many into that direction.
many pastors who do these funerals comfort the families with false hopes saying that their loved one is in a better place they are in Heaven now. but no man pastor prophet evangelist worship leader or any one has the Authority to declare such a thing.

Many pastors and '' christians'' will tell you that God loves you and Has a wonderful awesome plan for your life. many of them fail to introduce that plan to people properly and that should be introduced with an invitation to repent. I thank God for the pastor that was bold enough and courageous enough to confront my sin and help me to see the way beginning with repentance.

 

for those who may read this and say I am condemning people . I have one last message for you ---> know the truth and the Truth shall set you free study to show thyself approved unto God and rightly divide the word of Truth. and remember that the word of God declares this ---> For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God

God has given us the tools

God has given us the tools; we have to put them to use.

Christianity in pauls days was powerful bold courageous . men of God stood the frontlines as fearless warriors ready to endure anything for the cause of Christ. whats the difference between Christianity in pauls days and our days ? what happened?

today many have settled for a imitation version. you ever buy imitation food for example fish ...it looks real looks pretty much the same but doesn't produce the same effects it doesn't satisfy or fulfill .

will less tools at hand in pauls day they managed to touch multitudes with the Gospel the church grew even in the midst of persecution. some of todays Christianity is weak powerless stale stagnit paralyzed and empty.

all that can be shaken will be shaken. order is coming to the Body of Christ. the heat is about to turn up dross will be purged from hearts a purification process soon shall begin. every branch that does bear fruit will be purged so that it may bring forth more fruit

encouragement

things might be tough right now for ya enduring hardships betrayal much opposition slanders and everything else the enemy has thrown at you. but you made a commitment when you with gladness and humbleness received your calling from the Lord and you have faithfully embraced that call. remember this But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. remember the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ . These things I have spoken unto you that in Me you might have peace . in the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.

And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be

Daniel 8:19-25
19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, ...four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand

Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Revelation 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie

Daniel 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

beware

beware of parasites that are out to spiritually steal kill and destroy. be not deceived let not the parasites of sin attach to you, resist temptation flee from fornication . flee from endtime religious deception coming from the pulpit of wolves in sheeps clothing. I say endtimes because we are in the endtimes and deception is increasing . it is written My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge... because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

why do you bid them false teachers Godspeed? come out from among them repent return to the Lord.

greedy for gain they have forsaken the fountain of living waters and hewed them out broken cisterns that can hold no water. what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit

a series of tests have tried many

a series of tests have tried many some have fallen short got back up and kept enduring even when nothing in life made any sense. some have drifted and went astray some are standing on the edge of feeling like there is no point in praying. lean not upon your own understanding ! stand up stand strong when the temporal pleasures of this world entice you to turn away from the narrow way and walk the broad way lean upon the way the truth and the life in His presence be revived renewed His strength shall be perfected in our every weakness when we trust in Him and lay our life in His hands .ask knock seek and you shall find . searching for clarity and answers seem so far away ? know that in His perfect timing it shall be clear . it is written I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go : I will guide you with My eye. he who trust in the Lord mercy shall compass him about. it is written fear thou not for I am with you be not dismayed for I am your God I will strengthen you; yea I will help you; yea I will uphold you with the right hand of My Righteousness.
For I the Lord your God will hold your right hand saying unto you fear not : I will help you. bless the Lord at all times let His praise continually be in your mouth. trust in Him at all times you people pour out your hearts before Him: God is a refuge for us. selah.
