Beware

Deuteronomy 8

 

“Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers. ² And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. ³ So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. ⁴ Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. ⁵ You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.

⁶ “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. ⁷ For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; ⁸ a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; ⁹ a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. ¹⁰ When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.

¹¹ “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, ¹² lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; ¹³ and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; ¹⁴ when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; ¹⁵ who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock; ¹⁶ who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end— ¹⁷ then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’

¹⁸ “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. ¹⁹ Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. ²⁰ As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.

Our Lord God has a mission and it trumps our plans and missions from the beginning of time.  Remember He states His word is good yesterday, today and forever.  So we can come along side Father God anytime to help Him succeed in it.  He says “the harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few.”  He asks us to give up our self-seeking patterns of life so we can find our preordained lives that have already been planned with joy, peace, love, and prosperity.  God took me on an adventure after my mother lied to me and said we were broke at age 17.  I tried to get back our $200,000 by mixing and mingling with the world.  Then saw self-seeking, self-righteous people all around.  But I had made a vow to God after losing my father at age 16 to always speak nice, caring words to all believing my words were what killed  him.  However, I never obtained a true friend no matter how much I humbled myself in words or deeds.  God says He scatters us to see the true intent of our hearts.  I knew at a young age that my home of Los Angeles was a beautiful place and a costly one to live if one truly wanted to enjoy themselves as my mother and I always did.  But not having the Bible in our lives, and working our own plans and dreams we destroyed ourselves.  God stating “your enemies will be those of your own household.”  I have been confounded and dumbfounded by my family and all I have seen.  Our Bible is true in all it says and does.  So God has now led me back home to my birthplace that is filled with treasures.  But as He has stated, If I forget this wicked wilderness that He has freed me from and jump back into the life of forgetfulness of His great name, beware.

 

Blessings to all who remember God in all they seek,

Off The Mark

Matthew 5: 21- 48

 

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ ²² But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire. ²³ Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, ²⁴ leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. ²⁵ Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. ²⁶ Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

²⁷ “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’^{[ 28} But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. ³⁰ And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

³¹ “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ ³² But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

³³ “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’ ³⁴ But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; ³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. ³⁶ Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

³⁸ “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” ³⁹ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. ⁴⁰ If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. ⁴¹ And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. ⁴² Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

⁴³ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ ⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, ⁴⁵ that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. ⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? ⁴⁷ And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? ⁴⁸ Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

If we could understand that the Bible was written thousands of years ago, and everything that it has asked us to do is still not being performed, then we could conclude that the Bible is not the problem, we are.  There are indeed spirits out here and their missions are to kill, steal, and destroy.  There are also angels here among us to help us in our way, however, if we can’t put our hearts and minds into these commands they are not obligated to join forces with us.  Our world is out of control, seeking its own, blinded by Satan from the truth.  He is cunning, baffling and wiser than we are.  So if we won’t adhere to our calling working these principles of God’s word, we cannot ward off these evil spirits that are mightier than us.  We have to put on the armor of love, it has to be our shield and spear against the enemy, to confuse his plans and attacks from our families, friends, coworkers, and strangers.  We must walk in humility in His word and in this world to manifest this truth.  God wants us holy and perfect.  He also says He will not put on us more than we can bear.  But if we don’t write these testimonies upon our hearts, when under attack we will be unable to smile and humble ourselves as we go through, being left to wonder why the world is against us.  Get on the mark and execute its perfectness.  Now Go!

 

Bless the mark of perfection on your life, in the sight of God Almighty,

Righteousness

 

                                                                      Matthew 5: 1-20

And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. ² Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are those who mourn,
    For they shall be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek,
    For they shall inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    For they shall be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful,
    For they shall obtain mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart,
    For they shall see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers,
    For they shall be called sons of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
    For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.¹¹ “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. ¹² Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. ¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.¹⁷ “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. ¹⁸ For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

 Bless the poor in spirit, not financially poor but spiritually poor because you have given your all for our Lord, your tithes and offering, your love and compassion, your coat off your back, and have been talked about, lied to, and reviled because of our God.  You didn’t lie, cheat, or steel, because you stood for righteousness and pure justice for all, as God does.  You have been that peculiar one who didn’t follow the world and stood on the principles, oracles, and commandments of God.  You have been a soldier for Christ, and ambassador for your community, the violent who used the wisdom and knowledge from God to take the demons off of our brothers and sisters by force, making a way for our Lord to rest upon their hearts, and clean up their environment.  The word is out, and the laws have been set in stone, and now it’s up to us to enforce them (Reflecting on verse 19).  Remember Romans 12: 1-2, present yourself as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God which is our reasonable service, and do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  We are to do this so that we can discern what is the will of God – what is good and acceptable before God.  Let your righteousness show, and light up our world. 

 

God bless us with His light.

A Search For Wisdom

Job 28

1.  Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.

2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.

3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.

5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.

7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:

8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.

9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.

10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.

12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.

15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.

19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.

22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.

23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.


We’ve dug and we have searched the depths of the earth and have found great treasures.  We’ve thought and have contemplated and solved some deep mysteries.  But as much time and effort as we’ve put into these tireless missions, we have yet to find the knowledge and wisdom to bring about world peace.  God says we are in the world, but not of it.  He asks us to not look at the things we can see, but the things we can’t see, Him.  He controls all things and brings all things together for His name sake.  Ecclesiastes 5:1-3 says “Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; to draw near to listen is better than the sacrifice offered by fools, for they do not know how to keep from doing evil.  Never be rash with your mouth nor let your heart be quick to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven, and you upon earth; therefore let your words be few.  For dreams come with many cares and a fools voice with many words.”  The mystery is to be solved to bring peace to our world and joy to our hearts.  But it can only be achieved with our Bibles open and God’s thoughts on our minds, believing in faith that He reigns upon the heavens this day.  “Choose whom you will serve,” God asks.  Satan who runs this world in confusion, or God almighty who can stop it with a peace that surpasses all understanding.  Let the search for wisdom begin.

Bless His wisdom, may we all find it,

Level Your Ground

Proverbs 15: 19-33

19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

It says in the Bible, children obey your parents, and for parents to not provoke their children to wrath.  I was that child provoked.  As I watched my mother wallow daily in her misery with 200,000 cash dollars on hand, $100,000 being mine, left to me after my father’s death.  She was a real estate agent, though she hated her job, and we did not own a piece of property no matter how hard I pushed her to buy in the late 70s and early 80s, in Los Angeles where we lived.   Make that make sense.  God asks us to come all who are heavy laden and burdened and I will give you rest.  However, my mother chose her own rest believing she could think and sleep her problems she would not share away, hoping another wealthy man would come along and it would all be taken care of, in spite of her evil ways.  I also learned my mother stole my $100,000 and I watched that little money tear my whole family apart, being she chose not to share her mistake with us.  I brought it up numerous times so it could be shared lovingly between my sister and I, but again, she would not budge.  God tells us how He dislikes pride, arrogance, and stiff necked people who fight against His already spoken word.  He goes on to say that those who will humble themselves would be exalted, and those who exalt themselves will be humbled.  Don’t make Father God upset, level your ground.

Blessings to all,

                                                                  Proverbs 15:1-18

1. A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.
² The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,
But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.

³ The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Keeping watch on the evil and the good.

⁴ A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

⁵ A fool despises his father’s instruction,
But he who receives correction is prudent.

⁶ In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.

⁷ The lips of the wise disperse knowledge,
But the heart of the fool does not do so.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
⁹ The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But He loves him who follows righteousness.

¹⁰ Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way,
And he who hates correction will die.

¹¹ Hell^[a] and Destruction^[b] are before the Lord;
So how much more the hearts of the sons of men.

¹² A scoffer does not love one who corrects him,
Nor will he go to the wise.

¹³ A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance,
But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

¹⁴ The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are evil,
But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.

¹⁶ Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble.
¹⁷ Better is a dinner of herbs^[c] where love is,
Than a fatted calf with hatred.

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger allays contention.

Are you training your heart to speak soft kind words to your family friends and neighbors?  If not you should begin.  Our words, deeds and actions determine our blessings from God.  If you know what you want out of life then speak it as long as you know it lines up with the will of our Lord.  Then you will bless God, others and yourselves.  We have dominion over this earth and our words are to determine our future which means we must find out God’s purpose for our lives then begin to speak it into existence. Love, peace, joy and happiness, being sincere in it. So when the trials and tests come you can speak them right into oblivion knowing your building your temple on the foundation of God, the rock, the lion of Judah.  Understand God knows our hearts and every word before we speak them.  So He judges its intent always so it is best to know what you are saying before you say it.  God put Adam and Eve out of the garden to work because words deceived her.  Now put your words to work that the garden may be open to you.

                                                              Job 38:1-3    

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

² “Who is this who darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
³ Now prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me.

Corinthians 9

2 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.

3 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:

4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.

5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;

14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.



Zeal, boasting, eagerness, who is it for?  And what profit will it bring?  Everything you thought you could want or desire lays right here in the testimonies of our God.  God is the author and finisher of our faith.  Without faith it is impossible to please Him.  He has blown his breath into us so that we may live and breathe peace, joy, love, and prosperity.  God says all things are ours if we keep our eyes off this world and direct them to His word and Son believing real dreams do come true.  We are to be building and multiplying our cities, countries, and world on the statutes, oracles, and commandments of God, watching our IRA’s, savings, and retirement accounts shoot through the roof.  Turning the heads of our brothers and sisters who are being deceived by the enemy that they too might believe and repent, kicking Satan to the dirt.  We are not training this indescribable gift which lies complacently within us to seek the wealth and riches of Christ who became poor that we might become rich.  He wasn’t poor.  He became poor to demonstrate and articulate the strivings of this blessing.  He didn’t sell out to Satan who offered Him way more than man offers us each day, believing and knowing there was much more waiting on the other side of eternity.  God, who is able to do all things through Christ, who strengthens us.  So don’t continue to let this gift lay dormant.  Stir it up, and multiply.

Let the blessings begin.

Happy Father's Day To You Father God Everyday

Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
² Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
³ who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases,
⁴ who redeems your life from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,
⁵ who satisfies your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶ The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all the oppressed.

⁷ He made known his ways to Moses,
    his deeds to the people of Israel:
⁸ The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
⁹ He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;
¹⁰ he does not treat us as our sins deserve
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
¹⁴ for he knows how we are formed,
    he remembers that we are dust.
¹⁵ The life of mortals is like grass,
    they flourish like a flower of the field;
¹⁶ the wind blows over it and it is gone,
    and its place remembers it no more.
¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children—
¹⁸ with those who keep his covenant
    and remember to obey his precepts.

¹⁹ The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Praise the Lord, you his angels,
    you mighty ones who do his bidding,
    who obey his word.
²¹ Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
    you his servants who do his will.
²² Praise the Lord, all his works
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.

May we love Him as much as He loves us.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL

The love from a father can be a beautiful and nurturing thing. Filled with laughs and love and sometimes even cries. Long walks in the park and sometimes just sit downs getting to no one another at the table. But whatever your journey maybe with him always remember to say you love him. True love for God and your father can open up some amazing doors. So never stop saying you love him and make sure he never stops saying he loves you. Then let true love for each other have its perfect work.

Happy Father's Day Family's Forever More.

We love you,

Good News

                                          

                                                                Isaiah 61

 

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,

Because the Lord has anointed Me

To preach good tidings to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives,

And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,

And the day of vengeance of our God;

To comfort all who mourn,

3 To console those who mourn in Zion,

To give them beauty for ashes,

The oil of joy for mourning,

The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

That they may be called trees of righteousness,

The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

 

 

4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins,

They shall raise up the former desolations,

And they shall repair the ruined cities,

The desolations of many generations.

5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,

And the sons of the foreigner

Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

6 But you shall be named the priests of the Lord,

They shall call you the servants of our God.

You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,

And in their glory you shall boast.

7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,

And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.

Therefore in their land they shall possess double;

Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

 

 

8 “For I, the Lord, love justice;

I hate robbery for burnt offering;

I will direct their work in truth,

And will make with them an everlasting covenant.

9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,

And their offspring among the people.

All who see them shall acknowledge them,

That they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”

 

 

10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

My soul shall be joyful in my God;

For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,

And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

11 For as the earth brings forth its bud,

As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,

So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

If you are mourning for whatever situation that you might be facing, there is good news.  That good news is our Lord and Savior is reigning upon His throne this day waiting to deliver you.  He is waiting to turn your sadness into gladness.  The Lord has anointed us to spread this good news between ourselves, to stomp out any sickness, disease, sadness, abandonment or any other thing that the enemy may be throwing your direction.  There is a calling upon our lives and it involves praising the King who has destroyed all the enemy’s devices.  But if we don’t step into our callings, calling things as though they were believing there is light on the other side of this darkness.  You will continue to be in despair and moving about your misery as you spread it upon others.  Satan’s delight.  We are to be in joy and peace daily bringing our communities back to life and love through this gospel.  Riches and wealth are to be knocking at our doors, because we have stirred up our gifts, and are putting them into action.  The violent take it by force.  Their peace, their righteousness, their justice.  True sincere love moving through you and you not embracing anyone who is not implementing it back.  God says “Don’t cast your pearls among the swine” Receive this Good news, then receive it over yourselves and go spread among others.

Bless this good news over your life,

Who is Wise

                                                                Proverbs 10:1-17

A wise son makes a glad father,

But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,

But righteousness delivers from death.

3 The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish,

But He casts away the desire of the wicked.

4 He who has a slack hand becomes poor,

But the hand of the diligent makes rich.

5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son;

He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.

6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous,

But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

7 The memory of the righteous is blessed,

But the name of the wicked will rot.

8 The wise in heart will receive commands,

But a prating fool will fall.

9 He who walks with integrity walks securely,

But he who perverts his ways will become known.

10 He who winks with the eye causes trouble,

But a prating fool will fall.

11 The mouth of the righteous is a well of life,

But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirs up strife,

But love covers all sins.

13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding,

But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding.

14 Wise people store up knowledge,

But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city;

The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

16 The labor of the righteous leads to life,

The wages of the wicked to sin.

17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,

But he who refuses correction goes astray.

 

Who is wise in righteousness?  We must be.  We must think it, say it, and walk it.  We serve a righteous God and He looks for righteous acts to deliver us into our inheritance.  Our words must be thought out before speaking them.  They should be carefully analyzed that they might bless others and ourselves before cursing ourselves and others.  Our walk each day should want to please the Lord and His thoughts for our lives.  We are to speak truth to our neighbors through the teachings of the word of God no matter how they or we may feel about it knowing we are doing it from a place of love for God and them.  God says store up your treasures in Heaven that is so He can bless us here on Earth and Eternity.  He said we are to become fishers of men that is to train in spiritual works, speaking spiritual things and the protocol of our Lord and Savior.  We know when we are deceiving and working matters for our own pleasures.  Train yourselves in the fruits of the Spirit, believing your works are not in vain.  Psalms 121 says unless the Lord builds the house, they build in vain.  Believe your dreams, wishes and desires will come true when you build them on a foundation of righteousness.

The Light

                                                       2 Corinthians 4

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.  2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.  3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,  4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.  5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.  6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.  8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;  9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—  10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.  11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.  12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.  13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,”[a] we also believe and therefore speak,  14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.  15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.  17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,  18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

God says in 1 Timothy 1:6-7 , some people have deviated from these teachings and turned to meaningless talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they say or the things about what they make assertions. Verse 8 goes on to say now we know that that the law is good if one uses it legitimately.  We can’t have one foot in the kingdom and the other in the world.  God asks us to give up our lives to find our lives.  Lives that breathe truth and honesty, love and care for God, His word and man. You must believe in faith that this word is true and empty everything you have including yourself into it and on it.  Believing your destiny awaits.  You should be walking tirelessly in love with God and man. Because you have worked out these laws in your ever day life and God has revealed Himself emphatically into your situation.  That a peace that surpasses all understanding will empower you to press on to your riches and true peace.  We are servants for our Lord no longer our will be done but His.  You must become that peculiar servant, an ambassador for the Lord fighting the good fight of faith continuously.  Our king went through despairing nights and daunting days.  Turmoil and chaos on every side until His death and He rose in victory. Receive your temporary punishments and walk into the light as the golden vessels we are for our Lord God.

 Let the light shine that you may shine until your war is over.

Strive For Perfection

                                                              

                                                                       Hebrews 6

Therefore let us go on toward perfection, leaving behind the basic teaching about Christ, and not laying again the foundation: repentance from dead works and faith toward God, 2 instruction about baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.  3 And we will do this, if God permits.  4 For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, since on their own they are crucifying again the Son of God and are holding him up to contempt.  7 Ground that drinks up the rain falling on it repeatedly, and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.  8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and on the verge of being cursed; its end is to be burned over.9 Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that belong to salvation.  10 For God is not unjust; he will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.  11 And we want each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope to the very end, 12 so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.13 When God made a promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply you.”  15 And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise.  16 Human beings, of course, swear by someone greater than themselves, and an oath given as confirmation puts an end to all dispute.  17 In the same way, when God desired to show even more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it by an oath, 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God would prove false, we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to seize the hope set before us.  19 We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain,  20 where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

 

Striving for perfection is the key to your full happiness and inheritance.  There is no other way. You can work out your own salvation with fear and trembling if you are trying to please God rather than yourself knowing by doing this you will both be happy in the end.  We are not to look at the next man’s progress but keep our eyes fixed on the works of the Lord.  Promoting the things He did and saying them with grace and humility with all our hearts.  Faith without works are dead.  God wants peace and love in His kingdom.  He wants tithes to the church and offerings to man.  He wants smiles on our faces and our eyes to connect in peace and love to a stranger on the street.  We are to believe in this word, stand on His word and go to our deaths resting on this word.  Patience must be working in every area of our lives with no complaining and our words giving life to one another and God.  Hope, prayer and fasting must also be implemented into our lives for all situations and matters.  Especially for the love of God, love for His Son and His word must be evident.  Then and only then can the darkness be penetrated.  The wisdom and knowledge obtained and His perfect blessing’s falling upon you.  Let perfect love guide your life.  Then you will be striving for perfection

Let the strivings for our Lord be manifested.
