Fulfill Your Hearts Desire


Psalms 20

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;
May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
May He send you help from the sanctuary,
And strengthen you out of Zion;
May He remember all your offerings,
And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah
May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,
And fulfill all your purpose.
We will rejoice in your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
They have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and stand upright. Save, Lord!
May the King answer us when we call.


 
If you have a dream and you feel like you’re being held back, stifled by folks or family who won’t let you spread your wings and fly, take it to the Lord.  Our God is with anyone who wants to change for the better and make a success out of their poor humdrum life.  God wants you to come to Him so He can build you and mold you into a supreme holy entity built on His word.  He says, we are kings and gods made just a little lower than His angels.  Beings who have been made in His image to take on the world and overcome it and its dishonest ways.  We have been given dominion over this earth and are called to multiply and rebuild it and all its desolate lands.  Blessed we are supposed to be going in and coming out, in the city and out of the country.  Our Father Abraham was given a promise by Father God to bless all his descendants, who we are.  The bible is supposed to run our world, align us in one spirit, one mind, and one accord that we may conquer everything all for our Lord and ourselves.  God has blessed these lands, and has strapped them with ordinances and statutes of holiness to bless His children.  But if we are not calling on them, unlocking them with words of love for Him and man they are useless.  We must bind things on earth as it is in heaven and loose paradise from Heaven as we want it here on earth.  Tithes and love offerings are to be flowing and words of wisdom and knowledge are to be exchanging as we build each other up.  We are to speak life into our fellowman so God can send in His counsel and angels to reinforce it with signs and wonders moving about our lives as we become fascinated and fascinate others by God’s magnificent works. So call on Him and fulfill your heart’s desire.

 

Blessings to all as we let God fulfill our holy desires,

Free Yourself


Exodus 14

Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’ Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
Now it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people; and they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” So he made ready his chariot and took his people with him. Also, he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out with boldness. So the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord. 11 Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? 12 Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”
13 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
15 And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 17 And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. 18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. 20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. 25 And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea,that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. 29 But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

30 So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses.

 
God wants us free.  And the only way to be set free in the Lord is to let Him have His way in your life.  Otherwise you’ll continue hitting your head against a brick wall as you seek your own dream.  There is a King that rules this kingdom in which we live and His name is God Almighty and He will do as He pleases to get His work done and His children home.  We must link in to God who is always at work making His Son’s enemies His footstool.  I’d been hoping for years that one day my mother would just love me for me. I poured tons of concern and love into our relationship, as much as I could. But I watched her become colder and colder, wanting only what she wanted and not what was morally or biblically correct for me or our family. Brothers and Sisters we are not to be under the control of people, only loved by them. (Romans 8) Owe no one anything but love, for he who loves has fulfilled the law.  It is not about us, but about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, then the next man. If we are harboring envy, strife or hate for someone, we must resolve the issue by any means necessary, to have God assist in our lives continuously.  He states, if you can’t forgive someone, He can’t forgive you. The word of God is true, but we don’t walk the walk as much as we talk the talk.  God blew His loving breath into us and can guide our every move at will.  He says, our steps have been ordered by the Lord, so how can a man know his way. Begin to unhardened your heart against your family, friends and our world.  Break up that follow ground with sincere words of kindness and love to bring certain relationships back and God into your atmosphere.  Believe me because if you don’t He will break it up for you, until you humble and sincerely call on the name of Jesus for help. God says, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that His Son is Lord. But do not fear and do not complain, just open your hearts and arms and say Father I’m here to serve you and free yourself.

 

Bless you all as we free ourselves in our Lord,

Establish Your Ministry


2 Corinthians 6

We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says:“ In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is  the day of salvation.
We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

11 O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open. 14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore“  Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”


 
God asks us to not receive this grace from Him in vain.  He has heard our prayers, if you believe He has, and has given us our request if you are still continuing to march forward in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ.  When this scripture was spoken out, it was intended that we, the believers, would all be forming some type of ministry for our Lord.  And in verses 3-10 you were probably going to entail all these things as you built your ministry for the Gospel of Jesus.  I know I have.  Remember He said, Arm yourselves, as Christ suffered so shall we. He gave some to be pastors, some ministers, some teachers, bishops, etc.  He also said if they hated Him, what did we think they would do to us.  If you're not seeking your calling, giving up your wonderful, comfortable or not so comfortable life to find this extraordinary life for Him and yourself, you are being deceived and walking in vain.  We are searching and seeking kingdom treasures for a life also in eternity but if you're looking at the next man and his problems or success you’re not exploring the heart and soul of God's word.  We should all be on missions for our Lord and working the fruits of our bible.  He said don't look at the things you can see, but things you can't, like He and His Angels who are hard at work on our behalf.  Then if this were to happen, you would see a lot more contentment, more smiles and much more sincere love moving for mankind.  Why?  Because you will truly be seeking God who is here as you are anticipating your inheritance from Him. So come out from this world's chaos and establish your ministry. 

 

Blessings to you as you build your ministry for Christ,

Wake Up People


Revelation 3

“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write,

‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.aRemember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,

‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

13 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’

14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,

‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”

 

We’ve made names for ourselves.  Our incomes, cars and homes represent class.  We go to church and bible study regularly and everything on the outside looks good.  But we are failing to cleanse our insides with the word of God, give 10% tithes and offers from the heart as commanded. Our minds are on this or that and it doesn’t involve God, we’re just going through the motions, still representing the world and their activities.  We are to be judging our world and surrendering to God’s word, cleansing and purifying our minds and actions becoming a holy people, a vessel that God can use and rest His name upon.  He says to turn our laughter into crying, and our joy into sorrow, as we see satan abusing our brothers and sisters, even God’s planet.  We are to be on missions from God to take back His Kingdom from the enemy.  However, we are sitting around complaining about it, or attacking our brother or sister because they don’t live up to our expectations of what we feel God will accept.  We are also running in fear and locking ourselves away from the chaos that moves about our world.  This is not the plan from God that He ordained over your life.  There are doors open for God’s children to walk through, places where we can sit down and minister to the enemy who are ruining these huge establishments.  But we are not walking through them in the power and action of the word of God.  God is here and He is judging His children, who we are.  However, if we have not drawn near to Him mind, body, and spirit, He will not give you the promises made to our fathers.  God has a work that needs to be done and conquered.  So wake up people. 

 

Blessings all as we wake up to our God’s standards,

Don't Be Tempted


Matthew 4: 1-11

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:
‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and,
‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”
11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

 

 God says He does not tempt us, but we are tempted by our own lust and desires.  However, I believe Jesus was tempted, to demolish for us all the works of satan, to show us it could be done.  When we are not totally involved in God’s work, satan will move in on us through a lost brother or sister to perform his works through enticing words.  God says also, they do not sleep until they make one of us sin.  Misery loves company.  God says it is like a sport to them.  So we must read, walk, and talk our word to keep the enemy at bay.  Satan is moving in full force right now trying to sabotage God’s children with killings and suicides, sex trade, drugs and more.  He’s making us believe if we have all the material gain, we have succeeded.  Then when all that has been accomplished we’re still spiritually drained or confused and probably still haven’t found that one true love God ordained for us before the beginning of time.  Looking at this vast world one can become consumed in how to encounter it, or even dream a way around it and all its confusion.  But I want you to know it can’t be done.  God has a plan and a will for our lives, one that involves righteous living and huge wealth.  And to obtain it we must come to Him to receive our orders.  God says He is the vine and we are His branches, and without Him we can do nothing.  Satan is tearing up families, homes and lives by his deceiving words.  And if you don’t know the true word to outwit him, he will eat you alive.  Don’t be tempted. 

 
Bless you all as you keep satan under your foot,

Fulfill God's Will


Hebrews 10

For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’”

Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; 34 for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
37 “For yet a little while,
And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”


39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

 
Jesus Christ came to do God’s will, as we are to live and do.  Sin on top of sin was continually being done back in those times and continues today.  The consequences of our actions are killing us spiritually, while making a mockery of our king, who reigns upon His throne this day.  We are to be sanctified by the word of God with faith and belief that the promises will come to pass.  We have the Holy Spirit inside of us, who talks to us.  But if we’re not locked into the word helping to build our lives and God’s kingdom, we can’t have the positive that He pours out to us in love.  We must work out our salvation with fear and trembling.  You don’t have to fall like I did, again and again getting back up dusting yourself off, to continue this fight for salvation, because believe me, it’s the hard way and it only gets worse.  God says He chastises the ones He loves, but can you handle His chastisement.  You better, because He said suffer as the King suffered, count all trials joy, and be angry but do not sin.  Don’t let the sun go down on your anger.  God says to know and not do is worse than to not know and do.  He wants to write His word upon the tablet of our hearts.  So, we must give Him our hearts for Him to do so.  We have to become bold in our belief and come to Him, praying and giving of our time and money with spirit lifting words to show God we mean business.  Stir up the gift inside you, the Holy Spirit who is trying to guide us into all things, even Heaven.  Don’t be ashamed to humble yourself and your words to the people around you, because you have a Father God who is pleased by these doings.  God is to be the #1 person on our list who we should always be trying to please each day.  Fulfill God’s will. 

 
Bless you as you fulfill God’s will in your lives,

Put Down Your Idols


Isaiah 46

Bel bows down, Nebo stoops;
Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle.
Your carriages were heavily loaded,
A burden to the weary beast.
They stoop, they bow down together;
They could not deliver the burden,
But have themselves gone into captivity.

“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
Who have been upheld by Me from birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

“To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal
And compare Me, that we should be alike?
They lavish gold out of the bag,
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.

“Remember this, and show yourselves men;
Recall to mind, O you transgressors.
Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.

12 “Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted,
Who are far from righteousness:
13 I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off;
My salvation shall not linger.
And I will place salvation in Zion,
For Israel My glory.


 

Our world is out of control.  We have made material gain our god.  We believe the more we have the happier we’ll be.  We shun family, friends and others for the material wealth of the world, and we kill ourselves spiritually inside from the time and effort we put into seeking these treasures.  God asks us to not be worried about what we’re going to wear or eat, but consume His word, and all these things shall be added.  By us not being properly trained in our Bibles in how to love God and each other we have become adults still exercising childlike behaviors.  My house is bigger than your house, my jet is faster than yours, and my company more successful. Then when we have built these empires, our flesh wants more.  So our sins become grander and more deadly in the sight of God.  God says it is despicable some of the things we do behind closed doors.  Whether or not you know it God states all we have belongs to Him.  He says He gives us the power to gain wealth.  If He didn’t open our eyes each day, as we were building our dream, the dream would be over.  He never gets any of the credit as we stand receiving all the accolades and applause. We go gray haired turning in circles and turning others around us in circles reaching for the American dream, which cannot link you to God who is here, or get you into Heaven.  God has a purpose for our lives that includes wealth and riches, but He determines if and when we will receive them.  So let’s pick up our Bibles and put down our idols.

 

Bless all who worship God instead of idols,

Speak Boldly


Acts 4
 
Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them,that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”
18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done. 22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.
23 And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who by the mouth of Your servant David have said:
‘Why did the nations rage,
And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His Christ.’

27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”
31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

 

 

 
In the book of Revelation God tells us that the whole world lies under the sway of satan.  We and our ancestors here in the scriptures were to all be raised and trained in our Bibles.  But as you see, the high priest, rulers, elders and scribes, the captains of the temple, and the leaders back in that time, were completely in awe of our truth.  This means that satan had them blinded.  He’s cunning and baffling, deceiving all who shun their Bibles to the side and we have passed this on from generation to generation.  You must fill your heart and mind with faith and belief that God’s word is true, then stand on it.  We can’t continue to tear one another apart mind, body and spirit, because we won’t pick-up the truth of how our world came into existence.  Though we can’t figure out why it rains, snows, thunders or lightings or even where earthquakes and tsunamis come from, our Bibles tell us what we need to know.  We must become bold in our pursuit of Christ, drawing near to Him as He wants to draw near to us.  God says if you will take one step, He will take two.  He yearns for us to come into His arms and home to spend the rest of eternity with Him.  He wants to show you private things of wonder that have been hid from the ancients.  God wants you to know that you know that you know.  He and Jesus are reigning upon their throne this day until all of Jesus enemies have become His footstool. Love and compassion for Him and our brothers and sisters, in one accord of the gospel, is the only thing that is going to bring peace to our world.  So stand up and speak boldly about it.

 

Bless you all as you stand and speak boldly about Christ,

Happy


Psalms 34

I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
I sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no want to those who fear Him.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

11 Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.


 
Our world should be ecstatic that there’s a hidden secret, a treasure, a dream come true that only requires a humble, loving heart to be found.  But this must be coming from a sincere heart that is destined to be happy, a heart and mind tired of the run around from our lost brothers and sisters, one that is seeking, peace, love, happiness, and a prosperous future.  I sought the Lord and He heard me.  I refused to ever give up no matter what people thought, said, or did to me.  I was determined to find my Father God.  Then He showed up, and Lord have mercy I haven’t been the same since.  I always knew He was here, by the blessings I’d received, small or large.  I counted them always, making sure He heard it and knew it, no matter if I saw Him face to face.  I took my mind and heart to Him always thinking outside the box, never putting Him in one.  I was up to my neck in prison time and saw no one around me who really cared.  So I went for what I knew, believing He wanted me happy, free and working for Him.  I had a hundred million dollar dream when leaving the Penitentiary in 1994.  But when I saw my family and others still stuck in their mess with no mind to help me succeed I had to call on the Lord.  So I asked Him to forget about giving me my $100,000,000 dream but please give me my mother and sister back with a few million to take care of us.  However, not knowing that the Bible told that your enemies would be those of your own family, I never got them back and had a lot to learn.  But our God was right by my side every step of my learning way. God’s a lover, a contender, a problem solver and if you’ll give Him your heavy load, I promise you, you will be happy.


Bless happiness to all in Father God’s love,

Win The War


2 Timothy 2

 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect,that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 This is a faithful saying:
For if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.
12 If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself.


14 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

 

 
God says He has released us among snakes, scorpions and vipers, demons that are out here to take us out.  But we must be strong in the grace He has allotted to us.  God states in 1 John 3: 9-11 “Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in Him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.  In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest:  Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.  For this is the message you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.”  We God’s children are in a nasty fight with His enemy satan, so we are to take our eyes off this world and place them on God and His scriptures until they are written upon our hearts and acted out.  We are soldiers of love ordained to take down the enemy through God’s wisdom and knowledge of love, written throughout His Bible.  Understand that the Bible shows us many examples of rebellion against how God asks us to act with Him and each other.  He asks us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling though we tend to keep our eyes on this world and work out its wrong, displeasing God and pleasing our flesh, no matter how good or bad our situation may be.  God says die daily to our fleshly desires and please Him to obtain our inheritance.  Our words are supposed to outwit the enemy to obtain our salvation and crown.  But if you’re speaking like the rest of the world and not dropping bombs of love on your situation or a situation around you, you’re working with the enemy.  God said he will not be mocked, whatever we sow in word, deed, or act, is what we will reap.  Idle talk and complaining about this or that only slows down your race against satan.  God says if we claim the name of Jesus, then walk the walk and talk the talk.  We must cleanse ourselves mind, body, spirit and take on the mind of Christ, loving Him as we love ourselves.  Become His partner, His ace in the hole, His backup, just like you would want in a faithful friend, a rider die, homeboy, or homegirl in your corner.  Rise up soldiers and win the war. 

 

Bless you all as you take down God’s enemy,

Submit To God


Romans 13

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness, “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

 
Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.  Though our government is out of control, they believe in their hearts they are doing good for the people.  But by taking on their own ideas, by their own power and authority we have been made to suffer.  The church and our Bible are to lead this world.  It has been ordained that way from the beginning.  But with the fall of Adam & Eve when they were put out of the garden and made to work, satan is still whispering thoughts into our minds to destroy God’s Kingdom.  To keep satan in his place we must not join in on all this terror and confusion, but humble ourselves to the authorities, obeying the man-made rules to show God we intend on being upright citizens in His kingdom no matter how much fear and destruction we see around us.  Then we will encounter His miraculous wonders as He and His son will manifest themselves to us.  We complain, complain, and complain.  We compare ourselves to each other, we won’t smile through our tests and trials, or sincerely love others and turn the other cheek as they lay down judgment on us.  God says if I am for you who can come against you.  But our world is about me, myself, and I, pleasing the flesh to the upmost.  Cheat, lie, and steal has become our norm because we look at the world instead of at God and His word in faith.  We owe no one anything but to love, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.  God is here, and is doing all the things He said He would do.  But He’s also in a war with satan for His children, us.  So whose side are you on?. We must wake up and submit to God.

 

Blessings children of God as we submit to His authority,
