Strengthen Your Mind

Romans 8

 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. ² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. ³ For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ⁵ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ⁷ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. ⁸ So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹ But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. ¹⁰ And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

¹² Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. ¹³ For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. ¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. ¹⁵ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. ¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. ²⁰ For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; ²¹ because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. ²² For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. ²³ Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. ²⁴ For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? ²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. ²⁷ Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. ²⁹ For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. ³⁰ Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? ³³ Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. ³⁴ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

³⁷ Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, ³⁹ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You can walk in the likeness of Jesus Christ.  Our Lord came down from His throne to kill sin in the flesh.  Now we are to do the same thing.  Jesus says, our sprits our willing but our flesh is weak.  So we must take on the mind of Christ our Lord to win our battles.  Believe, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  Denying our flesh can be conquered, if we are living for more than just ourselves.  God asks, that peace rule here in His kingdom, joy, peace, and happiness all around us. We should be taking on missions within ourselves through the word of God to bring peace to our communities. He says, if I be lifted up I’ll draw all men unto me.  But until we really set out to seek our Lord, true peace will never find us.  God asks us to gird our minds, believing in His word as we walk through this wilderness of darkness.  If we are truly confessing Jesus with our words and believing honestly that His word is true, God will intervene on our behalf.  We are heirs to the throne of God and must humble ourselves to His majesty to be exalted in all things.  You see, the more of the word that you put into yourself the more of that word will come out.  Then when the trials and tests come you will know exactly how to walk through them in love pleasing our Lord who suffered and fought the battle of faith denouncing satan, who is trying to make a spectacle of us in God’s eyes.  We have to want our freedom in the Lord, and check our thoughts and actions before the living God, who is checking ours to give us what we are sowing.  God asks us to not look at the things we can see, so He can do His perfect work in us.  We have become distracted to our world. You must read the promises and blessings in the bible.  Then bury them deep within your heart to walk your journey out in faith knowing there’s a better life to come on earth and in heaven.  We must love God with all our heart as He loves us, then fight the good fight of faith, to invite His manifesting presence into our lives, that will calm us with a peace, to endure the rest of our journey.  A journey to love peace and riches.  There’s no depth our God won’t go to if you strengthen your mind.

Bless our minds Lord as we strengthen them in You,

Have Faith

Romans 5

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. ³ And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; ⁴ and perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

⁶ For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. ⁸ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. ¹⁰ For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. ¹¹ And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

¹² Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— ¹³ (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. ¹⁵ But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. ¹⁶ And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. ¹⁷ For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

¹⁸ Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. ¹⁹ For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

²⁰ Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, ²¹ so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 Have you let your faith walk you into the truth of God’s word, or are you still unsure of the promises and question does the bible really work?  Yes it does, if you work it.  God says, faith without works are dead.  He goes on to say, without faith it is impossible to please Him.  You have to believe and hope as you are walking your bible and loving God and man that the promises are going to reveal themselves.  We have to walk our bible and talk our bible like it is the only thing on earth that matters, because it does.  We are a peculiar people, in the world but not of it.  We have to believe we’re a holy people called by God to conquer.  The world says don’t put all your eggs in one basket.  But with God, you can throw the chicken in there too.  Our walk each day is supposed to be a walk of love no matter what test or trial may befall us.  Your hope and faith are to take you where you have never gone before, into a world of everlasting love from God.  His Son died out of love for the Father and man, and we are to put off our fleshly desires and do the same as He did spiritually.  This is a world created by God and the commandment in it is to love your way through it, to be eternally blessed.  We must let righteousness call us and clean up our minds and thoughts.  Acts of love and words of compassion to our brothers and sisters are to knock down the doors of Heaven so the blessings may fall.  Jesus out smarted satan through righteous acts of kindness and we must too.  Grace is here and the blessings are calling.  But will you summon the faith to manifest them into your life.  Have faith.

Have faith that all things are possible with God,

Stop Being Stubborn

Jeremiah 17

I`³ O My mountain in the field,
I will give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures,
And your high places of sin within all your borders.
⁴ And you, even yourself,
Shall let go of your heritage which I gave you;
And I will cause you to serve your enemies
In the land which you do not know;
For you have kindled a fire in My anger which shall burn forever.”

⁵ Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord.
⁶ For he shall be like a shrub in the desert,
And shall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
In a salt land which is not inhabited.

⁷ “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
⁸ For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

⁹ “The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
¹⁰ I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.

¹¹ “As a partridge that broods but does not hatch,
So is he who gets riches, but not by right;
It will leave him in the midst of his days,
And at his end he will be a fool.”

¹² A glorious high throne from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
¹³ O Lord, the hope of Israel,
All who forsake You shall be ashamed.
“Those who depart from Me
Shall be written in the earth,
Because they have forsaken the Lord,
The fountain of living waters.”

¹⁴ Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved,
For You are my praise.
¹⁵ Indeed they say to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”
¹⁶ As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You,
Nor have I desired the woeful day;
You know what came out of my lips;
It was right there before You.
¹⁷ Do not be a terror to me;
You are my hope in the day of doom.
¹⁸ Let them be ashamed who persecute me,
But do not let me be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed,
But do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of doom,
And destroy them with double destruction!

¹⁹ Thus the Lord said to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; ²⁰ and say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates. ²¹ Thus says the Lord: “Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; ²² nor carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work, but hallow the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. ²³ But they did not obey nor incline their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.

²⁴ “And it shall be, if you heed Me carefully,” says the Lord, “to bring no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but hallow the Sabbath day, to do no work in it, ²⁵ then shall enter the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, accompanied by the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever. ²⁶ And they shall come from the cities of Judah and from the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and from the lowland, from the mountains and from the South, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and incense, bringing sacrifices of praise to the house of the Lord.

²⁷ “But if you will not heed Me to hallow the Sabbath day, such as not carrying a burden when entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.”’”

If God is judging His favorite people the Jews, how much more do you think He’s judging us, the gentiles?  Is sin written on your heart?  And are you passing it to your children and your children’s children?  I know that is what happened with me and my family.  My mother only displayed sinful ways, and though she may have thought it was tough love it was sin passed on to my sister her children, and even me.  But glory to God I woke up in 1995 and began to separate myself from my mother and my family’s actions, working my salvation out with fear and trembling.  My family and I are no longer together.  God states, if you put mother, father, sister, brother or lands before my sake and the gospel, you are not worthy to be my disciple.  So, knowing God was here and moving in my life I had to choose and I chose Him.  I had goals and dreams I wanted to accomplish here on earth and wanted to make Heaven my final destination.  I didn’t want to serve my enemies nor did I want to entertain them and neither does God.  But if we are not connecting ourselves back to His goodness that is what He will subject us to.  We cannot outthink or outsmart God no matter how much we deceive ourselves into thinking we can.  God says cursed is the man who puts his trust in man.  If you look around our world, you can see where we lie our trust, and God says He will not be mocked.  Plagues and diseases are all around us and still man in his finite thinking, blinded by billions of dollars believes he can cure man.  However, God states, what is impossible for man, is possible with Him.  Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, who puts his whole heart into pleasing Him, a man that will give up his wages and life savings just to prove our God is here.  Our God who loves us, as he loves that man. We have to plant ourselves on the word of God, and stand on that foundation, come high water.  Our hearts are deceitful and only God can know and change them.  But you have to want to give Him all you’ve got, until you can do no more but to depend on Him for your every need.  Watching my mother for 20 years proved that the bible’s every word is accurate, and in her end she had become that fool God speaks of in verse 11.  Our bible is true on all sides, but if not read in belief and walked in faith it is only just another book you have lying around your house.  Strive to do righteousness, abandon unrighteousness.  Seek God at His word, try to please Him in all He says and all you do.  Rest your mind and your spirit upon His word and let Him deliver you into truth.  Stop being stubborn.

Bless you all as we humble to our God,

Posses The Land

Joshua 1

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: ² “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. ³ Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. ⁴ From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. ⁵ No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. ⁶ Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. ⁷ Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. ⁸ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

¹⁰ Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, ¹¹ “Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’”

¹² And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying, ¹³ “Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.’ ¹⁴ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them, ¹⁵ until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”

¹⁶ So they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. ¹⁷ Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the Lord your God be with you, as He was with Moses. ¹⁸ Whoever rebels against your command and does not heed your words, in all that you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage.”

The orders have gone out, the commands have been spoken that we Christians are to possess the lands.  God has made a promise to our fathers including Abraham that we are to live in peace and abundance.  We are letting satan have his way with our spirits, turning us every which way but loose.  Faith, courage, and belief in the word of God is our only way to subdue satan and take back our lands promised by the living God. We are to build our faith and courage each day by binding our bible to our hands and putting it before our eyes to understand how it is our sword to divide and conquer satan who is keeping us from our inheritance. 

We should be pleading the blood in the name of Jesus over everything that is not of God, cleansing and purifying our minds and lands through His living word.  Our world and the people in it are to be forming bonds of love and friendship to dismantle satan’s works.  Our words should be God’s words in the morning, noon, and night to inherit peace.  God is on a mission and we are sitting around idle and dismayed by satan’s works.  God is good all the time, desiring to keep His promise to all generations and our forefathers to give us rest and abundant living.  However, if we can’t discern the promises in our bible and understand it is the fruits of the spirit in the bible that gain us this land and wealth we will continue to make God unhappy and satan pleased as he keeps us from our desired inheritance.  Lock in to God, be strong, and courageous, and possess your lands.

Blessings to all as you take back the lands in Jesus name,

Love The Living God

Romans 1

Promises have been made and there is an inheritance to gain.  Love, patience, time, and thought went into forming our world before God spoke it into existence.  Now it is up to us to lock in to the truths and make them manifest with faith, holiness, and belief that God’s power will see us through.  We are called nation to nation to lift the name of Jesus up.  Prayer, righteousness, love, and tithes are to be given to our Lord.  Sacrifice and offering of ourselves to Him and the gospel should be moving us in full force.  Jesus said long ago He wished the fire were already burning inside us, that joy, and love would be shared in His kingdom, but He must go die for us that we may know there’s no greater love than one who dies for his brother.  He says this bible is so simple, but we make it so hard.  He states He will make the simple wise.  So if a simple person can get it why can’t an aristocrat, the scientist, or the wealthy.  They have everything else but true freedom.  Our world is going totally backwards and as long as we keep our focus on them it will continue.  God asks us to not have an anxious spirit wanting our gifts to fast.  Let Him teach us to fear Him.  But because He’s a loving God, operating only in love to the point of death, we step all over Him, taking His Kindness for weakness.  We insult His word that is to prosper us in more than just finance.  We have become barbaric, dirty, insulting, and like scavengers, still wanting the riches of life with no class.  We figure it’s our way or no way at all and go through life miserable.  There’s a protocol that has been set in place, how we are to move about the lands in faith and belief.  There is a king that runs this universe and His word is the last word when it comes to our happiness and inheritance.  We are suppressing this truth, thinking there’s no consequences to our actions.  But ask yourself, are you really happy and content with your life. Is true love moving about your atmosphere, or are you jumping through hoops.  God is a living being with feelings just like us.  A heart that needs to be touched with love.  Sweet nothings whispered softly in His ear.  He wants to be treated like a dad who is well loved and respected by all.  Brothers and sisters, please love the living God. 

 Bless our world as we come to love the living God,

Live Abundantly

Isaiah 55

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
² Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
³ Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The sure mercies of David.
⁴ Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people,
A leader and commander for the people.
⁵ Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”

⁶ Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
⁸ “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
⁹ “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
¹⁰ “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
¹¹ So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
¹² “For you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall break forth into singing before you,
And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
¹³ Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

 

We are dying out here spiritually and mentally trying to chase dreams and fortunes, while neglecting the word of God, and each other as human beings.  We are not taking our minds and hearts to a place of depth and soul searching, believing there’s more out there than just material opportunities.  Our world tells us it takes money to make money.  But God tells us that it takes our hearts and souls to cry out in search of Him to receive our inheritance.  We shop ‘til we drop, clothing our hurts and pains thinking no one will see the despair that is going on inside.  We talk and converse with empty words edifying or tearing down man, when God should be our every spoken word and edified daily to keep this kingdom in which we live in tip top joy.  God says, He wants to give us the keys to the kingdom, however, we won’t knock on the door with truth and sincerity for Him to hand them over.  The word of God is the map to His heart.  He teaches what pleases, and displeases Him.  He can’t put a fortune into our hand and let satan and his demonic crew who are working on our brothers and sisters talk us out of it.  God says He wants to bring nations to us, making kings and queens our fathers and mothers.  But if we can’t communicate to them in His language not our world’s language, we defeat His purpose.  There should not be the threat of nuclear war, mass killings, or hunger and starvation going on when there is more money today than ever.  Isaiah 53:6 says, all of us are like sheep gone astray; we have turned, everyone, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.  So since we have not humbled ourselves to His call, we have turned our world into chaos, operating our own missions under the hand of satan. Live abundant in the word of God and turn your world around.

 

Blessings to you all as you live abundantly in Christ,
