Following Jesus the invitation count the cost

This is the invitation extended to us as followers of Jesus. Luke 9:23 And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.  Deny means - deny oneself, to disown, renounce self, disregard All personal interests and enjoyments.  cross means - to bear ones cross meaning to undergo suffering and trial, to expose oneself to reproach and death. ...  This is our invitation from Jesus Himself the words written in Red, Luke 9:23 says and He Said to them ALL. this is what following looks like. Denying self and taking up our cross means something has to be crucified. our flesh disowning and disreguarding turning away from personal interests & enjoyments.  selfish desires, selfish pursuits, Losing the lifestyle we once knew. Losing all that defines the old man. denying self will cost us everything we lose our right  to live as we choose. popularity, letting go of earthly possessions an...

Revelation 9:21

Revelation 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.  Sorceries - means magic,  medication, witchcraft, a druggist, poisoner, pharmacy, pharmacist,  a magician, spell giving potion, sorcery.
God allowed Joseph to go through it, Job went through it,  Daniel went through it, shadrach,  messhach and abendego to go through it. God allowed His Son Jesus to go through it. Peter was sifted , Paul went through it, Stephen.. There is just some things we are going to have to endure all of which have purpose. And we know the servant is not greater than our Lord , He was hated we will be hated . All of the best life now peace peace smooth sailing preaching will lead you astray.  Prosperity Gospel preaching is false.. The disciples sold all they had and distributed to every man as they had need.  It's in Acts.. Jesus said take up our cross deny ourselves and follow Him daily. Suffering produces perseverance , and perseverance character, and character hope,  and hope doesn't disappoint. The testing of faith develops perseverance trials are the crucible in which our character is purified,  and results in Godly confidence , trials definitely break confidence...

Awake, and keep awake; sleep no more; be this your care, while you cast your temporal and anxious cares on God. Peter himself suffered for want of the wakeful vigilance which he here recommends The name devil is taken from the Greek word (diabolos) . it is a compound of the words dia and balos . Dia means through and carries the idea of penetration. The word balos is taken from the word ballo, which means I throw, as in throwing a ball or a rock. when the two words are compounded, the new word dep...

With all Thy heart

Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek Him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. When we seek the Lord with all of our heart all of our being our pursuits we find Him, we find His strength in our weakness, His joy in our sorrows , we find encouragement in the midst of our discouragements. when we seek God with all of our hearts we find vision in our blindness, comfort in our restlessness. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. the Spirit quickens ( makes alive) . the flesh profits nothing. it is impossible to please God in the flesh. to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritual minded is Life and peace.  Jesus said in the Book of Matthew 11:28-30) 28 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I...

Let no one silence you

Let no one silence the voice of God in you.  Let no one cause you to hide your gifts and talents.  Let no one shut you up,  it is a Jezzabelle spirit that seeks to silence and shut up the voice of God that speaks through the vessels that refuse to compromise and refuse to sugar coat or watered down the word of God.  Let the high praises of God be in our mouth and a two- edge sword in our hands. Continue to go forth in the leading of the Holy Spirit and speaking with the boldness of the Holy Spirit in the Authority and Great and precious Name of Jesus Christ our Lord

Season of shaking

We must allow the Lord to shake us to the very core in this season of shaking. We must allow the Lord to reveal to us what needs removed from us and our lives, people things routines it's all for the purpose of preparation and drawing us nearer to the Lord. A deeper more authentic faith, walk and trust in the Lord.  No flesh shall Glory in His presence.  The just shall live by faith seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness. We shall be filled! It's impossible to please God without faith.

Loosen your grip & let God shake it out of you

Let God shake it out of you , it's not that He hasn't heard your prayer your cries for His help,  you've just held on too tight to what you've asked Him to set you free from. Loosen your grip and really give it to Him.  You're not alone many have been where you're at right now, let that wall come down that you put up to protect yourself.  You fear being hurt but forget that fear brings a snare.  Let the wall down and let all of God's love for you fill you and overflow you in Jesus Name encounter His love right where you're at be healed and made whole.  Every wound shall be healed in Jesus Name give it all into His hands.

Serve and lead like Jesus

Jesus set the example for us what a servants heart and true leadership looks like.  Jesus washed the feet of Judas knowing that Judas would betray Him.  If we don't have that humility we need it before stepping into leadership.  Leadership is to serve others not ourselves. The servanthood of Jesus wasn't self serving,  it was to do the will of His Father.  And so we who have been risen with Christ ought to not be self serving but to be about our Father's will.  And be examples of the leadership and servanthood of Jesus. John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will,  but the will of Him who sent Me. Leadership begins with servanthood. Being selfless.  Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but minister, and give His life a ransom for many. We are to Humble ourself & take the lowest position  Matthew 23:11-12) 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whoso...

Understand Grace is amazing

Understand Grace is so amazing that the Lord convicts our hearts of sin and through His goodness leads us to repentance.  His word is righteous Holy Judgement that will judge sin here and now because He wills not that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.  It is so very loving  Gracious and merciful of the Lord to convict hearts of sin here and now with the righteous judgement of His word against sin so that when the final judgment comes when we all stand before Him we might here enter in Thy good and faithful servant, and not hear depart I never knew you,  you that work iniquity. Understand this as well under law to be guilty of adultery you had to physically commit the act of adultery,  and under Grace to be guilty of adultery all you have to do is look upon a woman with lust.  Under the law to be guilty of murder you had to physically commit the act of murder under Grace slander and gossip or hate in the heart is viewed as murder....

Word of encouragement

There are times that God will let you endure what you're asking Him to stop or take away and it's not that He didn't hear or answer your prayer . The answer just comes in the form of the Lord giving you the strength to bear what seemed like you couldn't stand in and through. The way of escape provided is His sufficient Grace and Him providing sufficient strength for us to bear what we said we could no longer take.  God is glorified , there is no other Name by which we should be saved.  There is no sufficiency in our flesh . What is impossible with man is possible with God. We can do all things through Christ who strengthen us. We are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us.  We are overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.  God always gets the Glory.

Times we are living in. Watch and pray be sober be vigilant

We are living in some of the most greed filled times where people are lovers of self,  lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.  We live in the times the word of God said would come , evil days where good is called evil and evil is called good.  God speaks to us through His word , through His people and through the signs of the times.  The things going on in the world God is even speaking through all of that.  And He is saying knowing the time now is high time to awake out of sleep for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. the night is far spent , the day is at hand cast off the works of darkness , put  on the armour of Light, 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. Take heed watch and pray , be sober and vigilant,  these are days of times and laws changing,  days where the enemy is trying to wear ...

When we really consider and look at the depth of God's love

When we consider and really look at the depth of God's love how He allowed His son Jesus to suffer at the hands of sinners to pay a debt for the sins of the world that we ourselves could never pay great love and mercy is shown to us. God was willing to go to such great depths for us just in sending Jesus for us and He didn't die in vain how much more greater depth and length us He willing to go to save and redeem us from our lost carnal sinful state that enslaved us. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. He calls us to come to Him and confess our sins and repent of them Jesus seeks to save the lost . God never leaves nor forsakes us if we reject Him , He will allow us to go through whatever we shall go through until we come to the end of ourselves like the prodigal son in Luke 15. He gives us a new heart and places His spirit in us makes us new in Christ because we must be born again of water and spirit to enter the kingdom of Heaven. He empowers us by His spirit to live i...

Being built in the season you're in

You'll find that the season you thought was destroying you is actually building you spiritually . So much value in the storms and testing & trials we endure.  The pain and affilictions , disappointments is like spiritual conditioning . In football they have what's called conditioning and it's meant to better prepare each player and the team for the season ahead. Stay planted in the Lord living and walking by faith.  For without faith it is impossible to please God

God's wrath abides on the unbelieving

The once believing Christian who has stopped seeking God and is Carnally minded living in carnality loving and living in darkness is as the one who believes not on the Son and the wrath of God abides on them as much so as it does on the unbelieving who've never believed. A sinner that is seeking the Lord there abides much hope Grace and mercy. Keep turning away from the sins you love and keep turning to the Lord. The heart that is continuously rejecting Christ God's wrath abides on them. Sin separates us from God.  Like Adam and eve when they fell into sin their fellowship with God was broken. If we claim we have fellowship with God and walk in darkness the reality is we are separated living apart from God and need to repent.  To walk in darkness is to continue in sin. To walk in Light is to have continuous fellowship with God.

Draw nigh with their mouth honour with lips but heart far from God

Psalms 78:36-37) 36 Nevertheless they did flatter Him with their mouth, and they lied unto Him with their tongues. 37 For their heart was not right with Him, neither were they stedfast in His covenant. Isaiah 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the precept of men: Ezekiel 33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as My people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. Luke 12:15 And He said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the wo...

why did God instruct us not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers?

why did God instruct us not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers? A yoke is a wooden bar that joins two oxen to each other and to the burden they pull. An “unequally yoked” team has one stronger ox and one weaker, or one taller and one shorter. The weaker or shorter ox would walk slower than the taller, stronger one, causing the load to go around in circles. When oxen are unequally yoked, they cannot perform the task set before them. Instead of working together, they are at odds with one another. a yoke steers the oxen. the believer and the unbeliever are going in two different directions God has called us to purity we should pursue purity in our relationships it is important to recognize that God's goal for our relationships is much more than that they make us happy . God wants our relationships to be equally yoked God wants our relationships to help us become more Holy with that in mind we ought to regularly  evaluate  our relationships to honestly...

A gospel that doesn't require repentance of sin is the gospel Satan's minister's preach

A gospel that doesn't require repentance of sin and promises the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them is Satan's gospel preached by Satan's minister's and it will leave you unchanged living under the constant dominion of sin producing unfruitful works of darkness.  the Gospel of Jesus Christ requires repentance and faith in His Gospel will set you free whom the Son sets free is free indeed  . The just shall live by faith and faith will produce a sanctifying work in us abiding in Christ and His word He abides in us.  the Holy Spirit working in us will produce good works evidencing the righteousness of Christ in and through us.  There is evidence in the lives of those who have been born again of water and spirit .

Bible study teaching

Matthew 22:37-39) 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mind - the thoughts,  thinking faculty,  intellect Neighbor - a fellow man,  any other member of the human family,  in other words all of human race. Like - such as , manner of Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Shalt love - wish well,  do good to , and love toward enemies choosing to show favour and good will. Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Romans 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt ...

Encouragement for believers

The more you read the word of God the more familiar you'll become with His voice and less likely you'll be to listen to a stranger's voice.  You cannot truly know the Lord of you're not abiding in Him and His word. His word is a Lamp unto our feet and a Light unto our path. You cannot properly navigate with out it. You cannot have a relationship with God through a pastor a church or other believers or through facebook or YouTube or Google play apps.  Seek the Lord diligently with your whole heart seek ye out of the Book of the Lord. Jesus said come to Me that requires action a call to relationship Jesus said learn of Me that requires action and relationship.  Going to church and Listening to preachers and other believers is great if they are not compromising watering the word down and sugar coating it iron sharpens iron. We should always be teachable and always use wisdom and discernment test all things beloved believe not every spirit but try them whether they ar...

Watch and pray. He who has an ear to hear let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches

Jesus warns us in these last days to watch and pray . He warned His disciples the same when Jesus went to the garden to pray before He was betrayec. He came back found them sleeping. Now is not the time for the bride of Christ to be sleeping . Jesus provided the signs of the end time. And in mark 13 five times Jesus says take heed. Verses 5, 9, 23, 33 take heed He says gives the idea of a state of watchfulness seasoned with prayer.   Jesus provided specific details on what to be watchful of.  In the parable of ten virgins speaks of 5 wise and 5 foolish. Keep in mind ten is a equal number equal opportunity  to take oil into their lamps leaving no excuse for those without oil in their lamp because they slumbered and slept. Religious activity is useless without the Holy spirit . When we yield to the Spirit walk in the Spirit and follow after the Spirit there is a constant flow available.  Those who walk after the flesh outside of the flow of the Holy Spirit are ...

The Gospel is what is going to shine light into darkness

the Gospel is what is going to shine Light into the dark , it is the Gospel that breaks chains and sets the captives free. there is no stain that cannot be washed by the precious Blood of Jesus. no stronghold no lie no root of bitterness is too tough for the Lord. No heart break that Jesus can't heal. No outcast He won't accept into adoption as sons and daughters, no suicidal spirit that He can't deliver you from,  no occult spirit He can't rescue u out of, His Name is Authority above every other name. He humbles the pridedul, tears down the strongest of strongholds Jesus is King He has all power and authority. you give Him your heart every area of your life Come to Him in repentance and watch what He will do. where you thought you couldnt be made whole Jesus can make you whole. Jesus is the only one who can give wholeness to a broken life. you read how he gave sight to the blind made the lame to walk and healed the sick but let it be more than an awesome story of mirac...

Feeling like something is off ? Here is a word to bless you

If you feel like something is missing or you're just not where you once were with God , call upon Him and just ask for a fresh touch for the Holy spirit to bring conviction upon your heart of any unrepented sin . The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.  And sin hardens the heart . The bible says to him who knows to do right and does it not to him it is sin and that is one way the devil gains access on many Christians is the sin of not doing what we know is right. When that door is left open the enemy comes in like a flood trying to devour and swallow us up.  We are instructed to not grieve the Holy spirit yet sometimes we do and we need to confess it to our Lord and repent of it. The Lord will anoint us with fresh oil if we ask . Also when  the devil cannot get us any other way he tries often to get us to feel like we just don't measure up and He does that by getting us to take our focus off Jesus and look at how so and so is growing or how the Lor...

Once saved always saved is a false teaching

Read the whole post . once saved always saved is a false teaching.  And scripture says so . Those who endure until the end shall be saved. And work out their own salvation with fear and trembling.  Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Not every one who says Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of Heaven.  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. Those who receive the Grace of God in vain deceive themselves.  Matthew 25 speaks of 5 wise 5 foolish some slumbered and slept and the foolish say give us of your oil... verse 11 afterward they said Lord Lord open unto us verse 12 the Lord says verily I say unto you I know you not.. Matthew 22 says how did you think you would get in not having on a wedding garment.  2 Corinthians 13 says examine yourselves to see whether you be in the faith,  prove your own selves know you not how ...

The word of God keep it heed it abide in it

The word of God is life and health to all our flesh . speak the word of God man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Speak what the Lord says when He says and don't dodge scriptures that speak against sin don't compromise open rebuke is better than secret love. We are not called to scratch itching ears.  It's a loving gracious and merciful thing to speak the full counsel of God.  Don't miss His goodness and mercy by skipping over what His word says.  Encouraging people in their sin can mislead them and thereby cause them to stumble in more sin and if you're doing that  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Should offend means to be led astray or to sin,  fall away from truth.

Today is the day of salvation chose this day whom you'll serve

Today is the day of Salvation. Choose this day whom You will serve.   You may think you have all kinds of time to choose but tomorrow isn't promised , everyone sets alarm clocks with plans to wake up tomorrow but not everyone wakes up.  No one ever planned on leaving their home and planned to get in a accident,  not one who was hit by a drunk driver ever planned to get hit and lose their life.  Everyone plans and plans taking this precious gift called life for granted.  Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.  Behold He stands at the door of your heart and knocks , today if you hear His voice harden not your heart.  You can receive the free gift of His salvation and be saved by His grace through faith will you turn away from your sin and turn to Jesus with your whole heart? Jesus was beaten beyond recognition bruised scorned head crowned with thorns nails in His hands nails in His feet pierced in His side  shedding His Bl...

John 16:7-13

John 16:7-13) 7 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. 8 And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 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. Truth in verse 7 - as evidenced in relation to facts, verity, what is not concealed It is Expedient - be useful,  be profitable,  benefit,  answer the purpose, to bring together Comforter - bestowing spiritual aid and c...

Hebrews 3:13

Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. The more you ignore conviction you'll grow to the point to where you won't even feel convicted by the Holy Spirit if its not dealt with the sin will produce more fruit of sin. and that hinders us in our ability to hear God's voice.  accuracy to see becomes blinded and understanding  is then darknened as the heart is hardened  your love will wax cold in the  hardened heart because everything in God's word will become offensive to you. Turn away from the sin that so easily besets and know that Grace by faith empowers us through the blood of Jesus , overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.  The Holy Spirit empowers be endued with power from on High get into the secret place of the most high and abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  The Lord has a upper room experience for us all .

Seek God's face seek ye out of the Book of the Lord. Many false prophets rising up

Seek God's face , seek ye out of the Book of the Lord. God didn't say seek " prophets " for a word . Real God ordained called prophets are sent with the word of the Lord.  False prophets are starved for recognition inwardly ravening wolves.  Every Christian , evangelist, pastor deacon, prophet, worship leader,  hold to the Light of God's word and you'll be able to discern who is real and who isn't. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hebrews 4:12 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. Know the word of God and , Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

Scripture guide to identify the false prophets

You fell for their flattery! Many have been involved in false prophetic  You have listened to many voices and have left your first love.  A space to repent has been given don't let the door slam shut in your face come out from among them. you in THYATIRA churches being seduced 2 PETER 2:1-3) 1 But there were false prophets also among the people even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them and bring upon themselves destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of Truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgement now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not. 2 PETER 2:14-19 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children. 15 Which have fo...

Romans 8:1 understand what it means part 1

Romans 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:4  4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Galatians 5: 16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Romans 6:12  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Romans 8:12  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. Romans 13:14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. 1 Peter 2:11  Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Galatians 3:27  For as many of you as have been ba...

Wake up sleeping churches

How many more Sunday's and Wednesday's Saturday's Thursdays  will the churches gather together with them that love them and salute their brethren only before they follow the command of Jesus to Go out into all the world ? Will you wait till all that can be shaken is shaken . The fields are white ready for harvest will you go ? and Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.  So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.. are you asleep in the light ?  Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?  It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath e...

Sifted as wheat

Some times like Peter , Satan desires to sift you as wheat . In Luke 22:31 Jesus said , Simon, Simon behold Satan has desired to have you, that He may sift you as wheat. Verse 32 Jesus said But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted,  strengthen your brethren. In the book of Peter a warning sounds that we  ought to take heed to daily . 1 peter 5:8 Be sober , be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour . Encouragement after the warning. 1 peter 5:9-11) 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Grow in Grace .Pursue sanctification Holiness

Don't receive the Grace of God in vain. Many say " work in progress " but have no evidence of the process of growing in Grace no evidence of ongoing sanctification. A form of Godliness denying the power there of. Unrepentant hearts living unchanged drawing near with the mouth hearts far from God. Denying the Lord who bought them . Hands always reaching for justification to continue in the sins that the Lord Jesus Christ shed His Blood for and died to forgive and give us power to overcome. All have sinned falling short of the Glory of God.  The truth shall set you free and whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Jesus is the door providing  access to Grace by which we are saved  and faith works in the  power of Christ  helping us overcome and conquer.  We can do all things through Christ who strengthen us even overcoming sin. Move beyond justification and allow for sanctification to begin.  To the cross through the cross , risen with Christ. Galatians ...

Receive with faith

Receiving salvation through Christ by faith through His sufficient Grace begins the good work in us . The work of His Righteousness in us. A on going work of sanctification it is His work in us not by our might not by our strength but by His spirit.  God is an all consuming fire He purges and purifies.  He has called us to relationship " abide in Me" and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,  except it abide in the Vine.  Jesus is the true vine and we are the branches.  Think about what a vine is and represents.  A vine is the source of life giving nutrients.  And Jesus is the life giving source that has empowered us by His grace to bear much fruit, too reflect His character . The more we abide in Him the more we will reflect His character . Abiding is union with Him . One body one spirit. We have been bought with His precious blood  He has made us a new creation in Christ .He is our abiding power that empowers us with the fruits...

Pay attention operation of false prophetic deceivers

Pay attention to those you let " speak prophetic word's " over you . Little clicks in churches are just recycling things you yourself told them about you like your gifts talents passions your pain,  health issues, your church hurts from past churches,  your burdens from day to day life , your struggles, money problems  etc.. they'll recycle it and bring a prophetic word of nonsense not word of knowledge and they'll attach a thus saith the Lord on it or a the Lord said .... They're grievous wolves drawing away disciples after themselves. Inwardly they are ravening wolves.

The Holy Spirit is the best teacher I know

The best teacher I know is The Holy Spirit who leads into all Truth. Best preaching I've ever listened to. He will never hold any thing back and will never dodge scriptures to scratch and tickle itching ears. And He will never require certificates and plagues and credentials with that being said the best Bible college ever known to man is there with an open Bible an open ear and a hunger and thirst whole heartedly submitted being teachable .

Be encouraged

Take the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord .  Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.  It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. Pour out your heart to God in prayer,  ask knock seek and you shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you.  Seek diligently with your whole heart nothing is too hard for God.  His merciful kindness is great toward us and the truth of the Lord endures for ever. Praise the Lord. With God all things are possible, healing,  deliverance peace that surpasses all understanding, where we didn't have any peace before joy unspeakable , sufficient Grace for you and strength perfected in  weakness . Lift up your hands and heart to Jesus abide in Him and He will abide in you. Turn away from things unpleasing to Him. Turn away from the sins that crucified Christ and turn to Him. Great is His mercy toward us He is ready to forgive plenteous in mercy unto all who call upon Him.  Our Re...

On things above

Set our mind on things above not on things on the earth. You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. no man who wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that He may please Him who has chosen him to be a soldier. For 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. Scriptures colossians 3:2 , 2 Timothy 2:3-4, Ephesians 6:12

Who are you listening to man or the Holy scriptures

The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation to everyone that believes. Motivational speeches and speakers will give you a good feeling inspire you at the world's views of success and push you closer to laying up in store for yourselves treasures on earth where the focus and commitment of laying up in store for yourselves treasures in Heaven fades. To grab hold of more and more of world success . The exceeding high mountain speeches will lead you astray eventually. It's a slow fade for those who take the bait of satan.. A better job more money more of man's applause isn't salvational or transformational.  Many take after and cling to a best life now style  speech. Jesus said if any man will come after Me let him take up his cross deny himself and follow Him. Jesus said we'll be hated . Philippians 1:29 says - for unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ , not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake. Acts 14:22 declares - 22 Confirm...

Truth what do you believe

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. Many preach a flattery Gospel a compromised Gospel a itching ears Gospel a Gospel that doesn't show one what's wrong with them will leave them unchanged unrepentant and unknowing of the great need we have for the Grace of God which is received by faith not our works of self-righteousness or any good deed we could do. but the work of His righteousness Jesus died on the cross not only to forgive our sins, but to also break the power of sin . He heals us and saves us from our destructions. Jesus paid it all not for us to enjoy ourselves and continue in sins. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. The cross is offensive to those still ...

Be watchful be vigilant

When some one isn't hearing the Holy Spirit speak, it's another voice another spirit speaking through them influencing them. Careful who you let speak into or over your life. And when the Spirit of Satan tries to influence some  to pray against God's chosen anointed vessel that's full of the Holy Spirit and ya begin to rebuke the lying foul demonic tormenting spirits that person being influenced by those spirits and mouth of the one speaking will be rendered speechless their tongue will cleave to the roof of their mouth their jaws will lock shut.  At the Name of Jesus those evil lying spirits that are foul have to come to silence and flee in Jesus Name. Thank you Lord for your holy spirit leading me and my brothers and sisters in Christ.  We must be sober and vigilant take heed and watch unto prayer and test all things test the spirits to see whether they be of God or not. Recognize when you're ministering to people when there facial expressions and body language sh...

Judging ??

While you're over there in your dwelling place judging me and God's chosen for speaking God's word.  You fail to realize you're the judgemental one.  And you're not really judging us you're judging God because His word pierces the heart . If I spoke fleshly opinons of man then I'd be actually judging you.  For example if I said you're skinny  that's flesh judging flesh.  Or if you say I'm too tall that's flesh judging flesh.  If you feel judged by and bible verses spoken it's really your heart being pierced with Holy Spirit conviction.  And you in unrighteous fleshly judgement do try and judge a just judge whose judgement is righteous.  Two kinds of love in this life God's love which will love you enough to turn you away from things unpleasing to Him.  And then there is the world's love and they do love their own with a false temporal scratch my back I'll scratch yours look out for me I'll look out for u type of love. The ...

Would you warn or compromise

if i seen or knew of a friend or some random person getting in a car that was fit to travel a road of destruction and I didn't warn them or reach out having knowledge of where they are heading and I just sat silent with no warning that would make me a bad un-loving friend and a comprimising Christian so when i see friends and random people  who are getting into a car with the devil I warn them of the path they are taking and where it leads  with urgency to get out of that car get off of that road before it is too late. We must have an authentic  love . That loves people  enough to warn them and love them enough to care about the salvation of their soul . And share the good news of the Gospel with them compelling them to come in compelling them to turn from the life style and ways that lead to death.  Jesus sets free from the life style and practice of habitual sin . Turning away from Sin is left out most times in the Gospel message . Because merchandise is made ...

Be risen with Christ

Be risen with Christ . His Blood cleanses there is power in the Name of Jesus to overcome the world Jesus has overcome the world. Truly greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world. Sin has no dominion over Christ.  His Gospel shall again be preached these churches that teach you to stay bound have man's traditions and man's teachings. Jesus sets free whom the Son sets free is free indeed.  We are not of the world even as He is not of the world.   Their is a sanctifying truth available will you believe will you repent and believe  the Gospel?   sin is what crucified Jesus,  but churches don't like to preach about sin and truly overcoming the sins that so easily beset us. Man has looked to his own ways and built gold,  silver, precious stones  wood,  hay and stubble upon the foundation that no other man can lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ.  Many will not preach against the sins that keep many bound. ...

I will give you

Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. the Lord's flock will be fed and built up in the Most Holy faith.  The body will be made whole a real revival in the hearts of those who Name the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord.  Bold as a lion they will rise up preaching the Gospel even in the midst of rejection and persecutions.  Frontline soldiers for Christ not afraid of their faces.  No fear of man with the truth of God hid  in our hearts that we might not sin against Him.  Houses of prayer men of faith who have been through the fires of many trials and tribulations,  and have came forth with a faith more precious than gold.  With a mouth and wisdom which all our adversaries shall not be able to gain say nor resist.
