Jesus said

Jesus said he that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad. Not every one who says or acts like they are with you are actually for you , there are those that wait to betray you and they take great joy in doing so . some people are sick and twisted and enjoy seeing others suffer .

ya gotta be discerning and know those that are with you because you got the right hand and the left and the ones on the left aren't right . many there are whose love has waxed cold , and they whose love has waxed cold are lawless , betrayal and hatred abides in their hearts they are blood thirsty in seeking their own will shedding innocent blood , bearing false witness , they despise those that are good , we are living in the midst of perilous times the days are evil .

 Jesus said if the world hate you know that they hated Him first , whatsoever we do to the least of these we do unto Jesus . no servant is greater than his master if they hated Jesus they will hate us. Jesus said These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. through His sufficient Grave we have access to perfect overcoming strength that will lead us into victory .

brethren stay rooted and grounded in the word it is Living and active as a Lamp unto our feet and Light unto our path. 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 side, 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 always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh

our comforter

The Holy Spirit is our comforter who brings to our remembrance all that the Lord has spoken and He leads us into all truth. we are comforted not to be comfortable but to comfort others with the Blessed Hope that we have in Christ Jesus . all that we are given in rivers of Living waters is meant to be a cup overflowing shared and poured out into others freely we receive freely we give always motivated in love it is by this that they shall know that we are His disciples if we have love for one another. when the cup is overflowing we are to be instant in season and when we feel dry or downcast we are to be instant out of season preaching the word. I am sure others can testify to this that when we are going through our own storms that in selfless loving service some of our greatest encouragement in our storms come when we are able to encourage and be there for others while they are going through their storms . at the end of Paul's life he said I am ready to be offered up I have poured out my life like a drink offering.

we are living in a time where the enemy is trying to wear out the saints of God

we are living in a time where the enemy is trying to wear out the saints of God . we must trust in the Lord with all of our heart and lean not upon our own understanding like how we as kids put complete trust in our parents fully relying upon them. as kids we had an unshakeable faith in our parents we looked to them for everything we trusted and believed that they would never fail us we lived with total dependence in them alone. likewise we must have such faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ . He is the source of everything He is a Life giving source .

 storms will come trials and tribulation will come and its the hard difficult trying times that identify whether we walk faith or just simply talk faith. everyone at times has those moments or seasons of being downcast even David did but God is faithful in our many afflictions to deliver us from them all. growth comes in the hardest most trying seasons we are stretched we are pulled and tugged the storm beats upon us but look at where you are look at how many times before you were downcast , felt forsaken , felt like you couldn't stand or take another step and felt like it was al over like you would never stand or walk again Look you're still standing you're still walking in the Lord all the spiritual ground you thought you were losing turned to be great gain by the sufficient Grace of our Lord you came forth as Gold when He tried you .

you're going to make it even if you feel like you're not going to watch what the Lord does for you in you and through you .

know those who labor among you

woke up with this on my heart this morning - know those who labor among you
 Judas was a secret pretender tagging along, not everyone who names the Name of Christ is actually following Jesus some are secret pretenders just tagging along . they will flatter you and charm you with deceitful charm that appears genuine . there are many wolves in our midst posing as sheep , Jesus said inwardly they are ravening wolves - ravening means starved for recognition , starved for admiration
 we will know them by their fruit - these wolves can be easy to spot they pose as sheep but they move and function out of sync they are starved for recognition admiration and self glory - these wolves may see the success of our media ministry and they prey on us and our friends because they are starved and they have to have recognition and admiration they cannot function or rest without it . we the true sheep cannot move and function without the Holy spirit our only rest is in Christ alone our eyes have been enlightened we know that without Christ we can do nothing , we have tasted and seen that the Lord is good. brethren watch and pray !

standing strong

your strongest stand is in prayer . we need a prayer team of warriors standing in the gap for eachother and our families . the devil knows his time is short so he is making war, but we need to wage war in prayer fighting against the principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. we are overcomers through Christ our Lord we are equipped with weapons that are not carnal but Mighty through God pulling down strongholds.  we have been divinely designed for victory we have been divinely empowered to be more than conquerors through Christ

A pythin coils around its victim

a python coils around the victim, tightening and squeezing choking the breath out of its victim and satan operates like that coils around a persons life choking and squeezing their prayer life , study life there faith , hope , joy , peace , their testimony . sometimes the person is fatigued and weary and begins to start losing their courage and their fight . satans attacks are designed to devour to steal kill and to destroy .he will try everything , if enticing you with temptation to commit sins doesn't work , he will target your friends and family and past enemies and try to turn them against you, he will try to oppress and afflict accuse and condemn . the enemy will plant distractions and decoys and detours in your path , the enemy will try to get you to be too busy to pray too busy for the word of God . the Good news is that we can have victory through our Lord Jesus Christ . we have been given power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt us. Jesus said the example in Matthew chapter 4 of how to resist the enemy and how to use the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. but we have to study to show ourselves approved rightly dividing the word of truth. Gods word declares His people are destroyed because lack of knowledge . in Ephesians paul speaking by unction and utterance of the Holy spirit gave instructions of what to do before putting on the whole armour of God, he gave instructions of things to put off before we can put on. we cannot successfully wage war against the enemy living with un-repented sin in our lives

in the message of the Gospel

in the message of the Gospel as whole it is a message of mercy Grace love wrath judgement justice . one can see in the Gospel that the wages of sin is death and greater love hath no man than this that he lay down his life . It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him. the spirit and the bride say come ! the Gospel is deep and we ought to preach the Gospel in the entirety and fullness of the Gospel message which include compeling the lost to repent . it is the goodness of God that leads to repentance . we cannot swing the hammer without the spirit , we must be led by the Holy Ghost . He will give us unction and utterance
if you have lost sight of the importance of Christ's death , you have lost sight of how great the cost the price that has been paid - we have been bought with a price
