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 looki ng 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 thi...

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 b...

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 experie nced 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 w...

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 you...

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 pr eaching 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 pra...

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 wi...

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.  Beh...

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 wic ked, 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 envyin...

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 w illing 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 ca...

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 F...

todays study

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 t...

Born Again

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

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 . Every Nation that has forgot God every soul who rejects Him and continues in their wickedness have this promise to be turned into Hell except they repent. the hour is late time is short and life is like a vapor please don't miss your chance . many have chose not to walk the narrow way which leads to life many have chosen to follow the wide gate which leads to destruction. Psalm 9:8 And He shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 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 ...

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 bei ng 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 li...

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 overw helmed 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...

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 Comforte...

Important please read. its kind of long but worth the read. feel free to share this. God bless you all

Important please read. its kind of long but worth the read. God bless you all. 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 o ur 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 f...

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 m...

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 ...

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 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 yo...
