Do You Depend On ALL That Our God Is To US?

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     It's so nice to see you back again, everything I place in the blog is to help anyone apply how the Lord made a way for us to  OVERCOME on this earth.  I'm listing many of the earthly needs we have and where God says you'll find your answers below - Hope this helps you.  Keep in mind "out of the mouth, the heart speaks" Matthew 12:34.  So always confess HIS WORD, NOT the problem.

Luke 6:45

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart 

his mouth speaks.”

     

     Many are being told, that the Old Testament (OT) is mostly the Law of Moses and we are no longer under the Law.  They are only half right, we are not under the Law.  Yet Moses' Law, he received from God Almighty are in the first 5 books of the Bible; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.  The rest of the OT gives us the principals of what God desires or not for us.

     Don't imagine because you're a Christian you can continue to live the same way as before accepting Christ, in sin - without walking with the Holy Spirit as your guide and having fellowship with Jesus, The New Testament (NT) tells us:

Matthew 7:21-23

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

(22) Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’

(23) And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.”

     DO NOT judge others by this scripture, that's not what it's for, but to judge yourself and your relationship with the Lord.  The ONLY JUDGE is ABBA, the Creator of ALL!

Prayer & The Power of the Blood Work Together

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Today, I want to share a couple of testimonies with you.  This is to testify that the Word works, when YOU work it.

 Revelation 12:11

“And they overcame him [satan] because of the blood of the Lamb [Jesus]
and because of the word of their [YOUR] testimony,
and they did not love their life even when faced with death.”

     Every Tuesday morning at church, we have a prayer meeting.  Anywhere from 10-20 people come for an hour or so just to pray for the needs of the church; youth ministry, woman’s ministry, worship team, and of course our Pastor and his family.  Those are done each week.  Then we start on the problems people are having within their spirit, soul or body.  Then we pray for America, saved and unsaved throughout the world, along with all those in authority over Gods children and finish with binding the enemy away from all we’ve interceded for.

     PRAYER: We simply agreed together in one unity and language that Joy’s brother Jim would be healed or taken home, if he was finished with what he was to accomplish here on earth.  Abba’s will, not ours be done in Jim’s life.  As Jesus prayed, "Your will, not mine be done."

     The testimony came in today, Wednesday Jim is out of I.C.U. breathing on his own yet still has bone cancer,  which we're believing the root will die. 

     Praise Abba [God], we just heard from Joy and when she was alone with her brother, he told her he saw their mother, who’s been with the Lord for several years now.  Jim asked his mom, if he was staying with her.  She said no, it wasn’t his time yet.  Then someone came into the room and Jim didn’t say anything more.  Joy can’t wait to hear what else happened while he went to heaven.  Also, when he awoke, they had removed all the life support equipment from Jim and he was in a regular hospital room.  IS OUR GOD GOOD, OR WHAT!

     The next testimony is mine.  PRAYER: Last Saturday my wallet was taken out of my purse.  I asked for prayer Tuesday, that the Holy Spirit would reveal where it was, and at the Bible Study on Wednesday, I just praised Him for the answer.  A couple said they believed it was in my car, so we went and searched every inch of the floors, between the seats, glove compartment, etc.  We did not find it.  So another couple said after Bible Study, they’d go back to church and look again.  I told them the wallet was a “hot pink” wallet; with my drivers license, charge card and my uncle’s charge card that’s what I was most concerned about.   I also had a $5 bill and a couple of singles.  It was a pink, because when you get to be an old fart like me, a black wallet is hard to find in a black purse. [hehe].

     Now for the answered prayer THAT DAY!  I decided to go with them to search for my wallet.  On the way, in my car, I had a thought “we didn’t check the arm rest” so I pulled over and checked it.  Right on top was my wallet.  The License and charge cards were there, but the $5 was gone.  HAL LE LU YAH!  I could easily live with that.  The following day, they found the kid who took the wallet and let the parents know and deal with it.

     In my prayer time, I’ve always believed and followed Abba’s Principals when they tried to build a tower to Heaven.  We refer to it as the Tower of Babel:

Genesis 11:4, 6-8,

“They said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

[6] The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language.

And this is what they began to do, and
 now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.”

[7-8] “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.  So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.”

     Isn’t it amazing how they chose their own outcome?  Abba did scatter them over all the earth, so they wouldn’t actually build a tower into Heaven.  And they could have, because 1) they were one people in Unity 2) had the same language.   So I would recommend you pray with someone who’s in unity with you and the Holy Spirit plus have the same language or as the Scripture says above “NOTHING which they purpose [believe] to do will be impossible.”

     All you need is the “faith of a mustard seed” to believe you can have the ear of our Father.

Psalm 34:15

The eyes of the LORD [Abba] are toward the righteous
And His ears are open to their cry.”

     Never doubt he hears you.

YOU MUST Chose To Work Gods’ Power and Provisions

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

    I chose this title, because it’s the truth.  Only YOU can choose the power and provisions God will work through you.     

     In John 17:20-22 Jesus spoke these words; and I believe it’s His ultimate desire for us to hear.  “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who WILL believe in Me through their word; (21) that they all may be one, as You Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.  (22) And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:”

     If you make this personal, with Jesus speaking directly to you, it would read like this: “I, Jesus do not pray for only those around me now, but for anyone who’s actions, through My Word WILL speak and act on, that they may be one, just as Abba and I are one.  Abba, the glory you’ve given Me, I have given to them, that they may be one in the unity of the Spirit as we are.” (paraphrased)

     John wrote, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit “that it’s His desire for us to spiritually hear.” He desires us to be in unity, as Abba and Jesus are one.  To do that, we must show our belief [faith] through our insight [knowledge & actions] of His Word and in our speech. 

     It may seem strange to you, but the more I’m in the Word, the more personally I take it.  It seems Jesus is speaking directly to me.  Jeremiah 27:5 says “I (Abba) have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed proper to Me.  The Holy Spirit gives us what we can handle in fruit of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22-23 [Abba's character] and the Gifts of the Spirit [working of miracles].  1 Corinthians 12:4-12    But always remember,

Hebrew 2:1-5

“Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. (2)  For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, (3) how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, (4) “God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will (5) For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.”

     Paraphrasing Hebrew 2:1-5, Abba wants us to heed [understand, accept and believe] least we drift away [go back to our old ways in the world].  In the Old Testament His words were spoken through angels which proved accurate [true, they came to pass] and evil or disobedient received their just rewards.  We cannot escape His justice, when He’s offered us such a great salvation through Jesus His only Son.  God bears witness both in signs and wonders of His gifts to assure us; Abba, Jesus and the Holy Spirit still function on earth today.  By His will, God is speaking of latter times [our time, after Jesus].  Know this; we are not under subjection to angels during the Church Age – Only Abba, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are in charge.

Revelation1:8

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

     Tell me, who can please Him when we are so imperfect?  We’re told above, that His power is given only to the ones who are pleasing in His sight.  So what will it take for us to be pleasing in His sight?

Matthew 15:11, 19-20

Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man;

but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.

(19) For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,

murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

(20) These are the things which defile a man,

but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”

Proverbs 16:23

"The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,
And adds learning to his lips.”

Mark 12:30

“And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart,

with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

'This is the first commandment."

Also in Matthew 22:27 & Luke 10:27

    YOU CAN!  By faith, believe He is able to do what He says.  It’s mandatory that we learn to accept and work in the Spiritual realm, even though we cannot see it.  As long as we continue to walk in the flesh, it will be impossible to please Him because, “…those who are in the flesh CANNOT please God.” Romans 8:8 

     So how can you stop living in the flesh?  Easy, read your BIBLE daily.  See what Jesus wants you to do – THEN DO IT – JUST AS HE SAID TO!  It may seem strange to you, even impossible to work – BUT IT ALWAYS DOES! 

Matthew 13:16-17

“But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;” [17] “for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.” 

Blessings to all who read the Blogs, for YOU are FAVORED and BLESSED!

What The POWER of His BLOOD Did For YOU

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     So many have fears in their lives, because they don’t know what Jesus truly accomplished for them on the cross.  So I’m going to review something I wrote a couple of years ago to refresh the minds of those who might have forgotten and reveal to those who didn’t know.

The power of His blood.

Isaiah 53:4-5  “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God and afflicted.  But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.” 

Isaiah 53:6  “All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.”

     I must say, for as many times as I’ve read these passages, I never realized the true meaning until I looked up their meanings.  To think, that Jesus knew in advance everything that He would do.  No wonder He asked the Father if this cup could be taken from Him -- if it was God’s will.  I cry when I think about the suffering He did just for you and I to be accepted.  The definitions below should help you to get a clearer picture of what Jesus actually took on for us.

In Strong’s concordance it says...

Griefs = sickness, disease

Bore = took on

Sorrows = pain

Esteemed = thought

Stricken, smitten = beaten, scourged

Transgressions = sins, rebellion

Crushed = broken, contrite, oppressed

Iniquities = sin, guilt, fault

Chastening = correction, discipline, instruction

Scourging = stripes, hurt, wounds

     We’ve all been taught that Jesus shed His blood for us, as the final blood sacrifice.  But there is so much more involved in the story than that.  To begin with, Jesus did not just shed His blood once.  He bled for us seven times - God’s perfect number.  Remember in Chapter 6 when we talked about the importance of numbers?  Well, hang on to your socks, because what the Holy Spirit showed me about this not only changed the way I “put Christ in remembrance” through communion, but also the way I understand the total authority He’s given us.

     Did you know that Jesus actually bled three times before the cross, three times on the cross, and once after His death?  And there is a specific reason for each instance?  Let me share this revelation with you.

Before the cross…

1) When Jesus was beaten, He bled.

Jesus bled when the priests beat Him with their fists (Matthew 26:67, Mark 14:65, Luke 22:63).  He bled when the soldiers beat Jesus with their hands (John 19:3).

     Jesus accepted the punishment we deserved for our sin and rebellion against God.  First, Jesus was beaten by His family, the chosen men of God.  Then He was beaten by the ungodly mockers and scoffers.  So Jesus literally took on the punishment of both the believers and non-believers alike.

2) When the crown of thorns was put on His head, he bled. 

Jesus bled when the soldiers put a crown of thorns on His head, to mock Him for being a king (Matthew 27:29, Mark 15:17, John 19:2).

     The Romans wore a crown on their head; to represent a royal rank, a victory, or an honor given to great champions.  For Jesus, it represented His kingdom, His headship, and His authority to be the head of the body of God.

3) When they scourged and whipped Him, He bled.

When Pilate’s soldiers beat Jesus unmercifully then whipped Him, before He went to the cross (Matthew 27:26, Mark 15:15, Luke 23:22, John 19:1).

The soldiers also used a reed to beat Him on the head (Matthew 27:30, Mark 15:19, John 19:3).

     A scourging is when someone is beaten so badly that they are not only bruised, but eventually their skin is broken and bleeds.  A whip is then used, first causing welts on the body, until it tears the flesh open and the muscle is torn.  These wounds were suffered by Jesus for our punishment, so we could be forgiven our sins. 

     Only through all this, could we be healed in mind, body, and spirit.  This is why it’s possible for us to claim “we have the mind of Christ” in I Corinthians 2:16, and in Isaiah 53:5 that we are healed.

     When we actively seek Jesus, we learn the will of God and our minds become renewed.  As we apply His word, we become restored until our bodies, souls, and spirits reflect our Lord and King Jesus.

On the cross…

1) When they nailed His left hand to the cross, He bled.

     In the Old Testament, the only way to get into Heaven was by the work of the hands.  By the blood covering Christ’s hands the work is finished and we are now saved by his grace (John 20:25-27).

     The nailing of Jesus’ hands represent our salvation in Psalms 9:16, which says, “In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared.”  Also, the left hand represents the north as the right hand represents the south (Job 23:9, 1 Samuel 23:19).  So Christ covered, from the north to the south, all our wickedness in His blood.

2) When they nailed his right hand to the cross, He bled.

     The right hand also represents the symbol of power, strength, and honor.  Psalms 60:5 shows how important Jesus’ right hand really was, “That Thy beloved may be delivered, Saved with Thy right hand, and answer us!” 

     All our power and authority is in Jesus, who sits at the right hand of God.

3) When they nailed His feet to the cross, He bled.

The feet represent our path and the direction we choose to follow (Proverbs 3:6, Hebrews 12:12-13).

     Not only did Jesus atone with His blood for the path we had followed, but also for the innocents we’d hurt or led astray.  Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet run to evil, And they hasten to shed innocent blood;...”

     When Jesus said, “It is finished,” He spoke the completion of everything done to remove satan’s power over us.  He was the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world.  Through His blood and testimony He is now our intercessor in Heaven, which allows us into our Father’s presence.

After his death…

1) When they pierced His side to be sure He was dead, He bled.

Both blood and water came out (John 19:34).

     The spear had to go through the side of Jesus, under His ribs.  Only there would they miss breaking a bone to fulfill prophesy.

     On a woman that would have been where the womb is located.  This is important because on this final time, Jesus shed His blood for the children to come.  By this all future generations can freely choose where they will spend eternity.

     Jesus shed His blood for the past, present, and future all in one act.  This corresponds with the scripture that says He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

     Oh, what His love for us made him suffer for our transgressions! But the outcome allows Christians to overcome.  Allowing restored fellowship between God and man.

The blood covered our past:

     Whenever we look behind us, we see what’s in the past.  I believe this truth is relevant to the message of the cross as well.  Let’s consider the blood that Jesus shed three times from behind Him. 

     Keep in mind that the blood shed by the nails bled from both the entrance and exit wounds of Jesus’ hands and feet, and that the crown of thorns encircling His head also bled down his front and back.

1) Headship: Jesus gained authority over our minds with the crown of thorns. 

Whatever we did or thought before the cross is now forgotten and behind us.  No longer will we be condemned by God, once we mentally accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. 

Jesus healed our minds with His blood that was shed when the soldiers beat him about the head with the reed.

2) Curses: The blood from His back covered the wooden cross.

The curse placed on mankind is removed.  No longer are we under the curse of sickness, disease, and bondage to the flesh or devil unless we allow it. 

You can see all the curses that are covered, along with all the blessings you can now receive, in Deuteronomy 28.  What a reason to rejoice in the Lord.  We’ve been delivered!

3) Path: The old ways we followed are under the blood along with the nails in His feet. 

Now that we can claim our path and journey will be directed by God (Proverbs 3:6).  Nothing in your past should haunt you because it’s under the blood of Christ.  It’s forgiven, done, and no longer remembered by God.

The blood covered our future:

     The same principle that applies to our past also applies to our future.  The blood Jesus shed four times from the front represents how we are to go forward in God.  His blood frees us from the past and opens the door to a new gospel of peace, restoration, and abundant life...

1) His head:  Jesus is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings!  He’s given us the authority and power to overcome this world in His name.  We’re to take His gospel to the entire world and preach His resurrection power.

2) His hands:  No more working for our Salvation, as the Old Testament Israelites had to do.  Salvation has been given to us through Christ.  Now the work that we do must be to perfect our faith and reveal Christ within us to the world.  With the fruit of the Spirit and the signs and wonders that follow us we will overcome this world!  Praise the Lord!

3) His Feet:  The paths that we follow are no longer controlled by the devil, but directed by God.  Ephesians 6:15 says it best, that we are now blessed in “…having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.”   Our lives can now follow the path of righteousness to magnify our Lord, Jesus Christ.

4) His Side:  Many of us, like sheep will go astray.  So we need to continually apply the blood.  It’s our redemption over the earthly pitfalls.  God knew we would fall as we practiced His ways, so He provided a way for us to repent and daily put our sin to death with the blood of Christ.  Each generation, as they hear the word, will need the blood so they too can have the opportunity to freely accept or reject Jesus Christ as their Savior. 

Commune with Jesus daily

Luke 24:30-31  “And it came about that when He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.  And their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.”

     We’re told to remember Jesus.  Why?  So our eyes can be opened and Jesus revealed.  How?  By partaking communion with Him.  The bread will remind you of what His body suffered so that you don’t have to anymore.  The wine will remind you that His blood covers all our sin, and that forgiveness is there for the asking. 

     Judge yourselves.  Ask for forgiveness of your sin and place it under the blood. If you don’t, we’re told that we’ll become weak, sick, and fall asleep.  Finally we’re told to eat and drink often, to proclaim the Lord’s death and resurrection until He comes (I Corinthians 11:24-34). 

     I hope that the next time you take communion you’ll have a better understanding of what He really accomplished for you.  The new covenant offered by Jesus’ sacrifice is more than just words.  It’s knowing and believing that we have a better way to live in Him.  So claim those promises for yourself and others.  Take your problems to the cross and pour the blood over them.  Once the sin is removed, then the blessings of healing, restoration, and peace can come.  It’s truly the only way to daily overcome this world and the evil within.

     I hope this will help you to ignore what the enemy [twerp] says you can or cannot do.  Always remind him, that he’s a LIAR.  The only TRUTH is the WORD OF GOD!

Blessings to all who read the Blogs

Doubting your Prayers – Cancels Them!

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Doubting is like saying, God can’t!

Matthew 21:21-22

“So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.  (22) “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

     Can Jesus be any clearer here?  FAITH IS BELIEVING, NOT that you are able, but that He IS ABLE to manifest what you need.  Abba may want to give you the desires of your heart – and He does  [3 John 3:2], but there are times, things you want may not fit in with the plans He has for you or to your benefit.

     An example of this would be I’ve desired a pool, for exercising and my health.  I’ve been here 13 years now and that’s one request I have not received.  Did I really need a pool?  No, for two reasons, because 1) my God heals me when I need it and 2) He knew physically I would have trouble maintaining a pool.  And He was right!  I have trouble maintaining a small garden in the front of my house now.  Not to mention I have a smaller house with lower costs and the pool would have cost me about $200 – 300 per month for maintenance.  So now I’m glad Abba didn’t give me a pool – I believe there is one in Heaven waiting for me.

John 14:2

“In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.”

      So now, I believe I have something to look forward to, that cost or maintenance will not matter anymore.  HAL LE LU YAH! (I shout!)

    

Hebrew 11:5-6

“By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. (6) And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”

       I don’t believe Jesus’ Words could be any clearer than that.

     OK, let’s discuss WHY it’s hard to believe and how we can build our faith.  The hard part is because we have an enemy (twerp) who continually tries to put us down and feel unworthy.  We all know that’s a lie, because we’re told in the Bible how uniquely we’re made

Romans 8:29

“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.

Jude 1:3-5

“Beloved, (that’s YOU!) when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.  (4) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only LORD God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”  (5) “Now I desire to remind you, though you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.”

     Here is where many can get into trouble, by listening to men or women who say there is more than one-way to Heaven.  They WILL NOT ENTER HEAVEN, but be in Hell for eternity, because they deny the truth that JESUS IS LORD and without asking Jesus, to come into your life you CAN NOT enter Heaven.

James 2:20, 26

“But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?

 (26) For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”

     As you see by the Scripture above, you cannot work or please God without faith. Lukewarm Is making no decision, HOT is choosing Jesus and Cold is refusing the God Head into your life.

Revelation 3:15

“‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.”

     In God’s eyes, those who have accepted Jesus and renew their mind from the world’s ways, by reading and doing the WORD, are the true followers, believers and doers of Jesus His only begotten Son.

     Time is very short for changes required for us to have FELLOWHIP with our Lord, and that’s what we all should SEEK.  I beg of you – SEEK HIM WHILE YOU CAN!  He IS coming very soon.  It takes 2 to have a friend – right?  He’s waiting for you to become friends with Him.  No pressure and you do not have to become perfect to be His friend.

     Before you read the Word, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal something new to you that day.  Then ask for it AND BELIEVE (which is applying your FAITH, so HE CAN.) 

     It’s never up to us what happens or not – that’s up to HIM!  So if you’re praying for someone and you don’t see a change, bless them and give them to Abba.  He knows what they need and will let that person know.  THIS IS THE TRUTH:

Matthew 19:24-26

“Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 

(It doesn’t matter how overloaded in problems or the riches you have.  You can become an ant, who can carry ten times it's weight in moving dirt [mountains].)

(25) When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, “Then who can be saved?”

(26) And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

(The world [man] cannot do anything for you.  It takes a “Supernatural” God, who loves His creation to help you in what you need.)

     Here’s a question everyone should ask themselves.  Are you NOT applying the Word in your life, because you doubt HE CAN?  That’s why He’s not answering – You’ve cancelled them.

Faith Starts As A Mustard Seed – Then Grows and Grows To A Might Tree!

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Your FAITH does not start out as a mighty tree, but small as a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed in the world.  You didn’t start walking when you were born, nor did you start eating chicken before your teeth developed. 

     Likewise, we need maturing in the Word to develop our spiritual teeth and legs.  God expects us to start out crawling, then walking, then running.  He made you to develop in steps as all humans need to.

     I started, just reading the Bible when I was 27, as I found a promise in the Bible I needed, I found the condition [which is with every promise] doing it God’s way – and I always saw the promise/answer manifest.

     Samuel heard, the first time from God when he was only a child, whereas Eli was the high priest and should have been the one, who heard directly from God.  Yet, God does not see  age, but your heart and your obedience.  God’s chain of command is not based on position, but FAITH, looking for faithful followers.  So be prepared to be used by God, anytime or anywhere, your heart aligns with His Word. (1 Samuel 1:26- 3:28)

     Another example would be Jeremiah.  He wrote the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations.  He was a catalyst for the great spiritual reformation under King Josiah.  Jeremiah acted as God’s faithful messenger in spite of many attempts on his life.  He also started his ministry at the young age of 18.  Throughout his ministry few listened to what he said, so he wept much for Israel and became known as the “Weeping Prophet.”   Jeremiah complained about being to young, that people wouldn’t listen to him, but God said never say that again!  Just speak what God told him to say.  . (Jeremiah 1:4-10)

     Many people will be shocked as to who will be in Heaven.  A mixture of All denominations, colors, creeds, and nations.  It’s not who you are, but WHOSE YOU ARE!  Where you live does not matter, but how you obeyed the Lord’s Word and Your Fellowship with Jesus.  Your heart and actions are what Abba looks at.  Check out the 4-part study “Only The Overcomers Will Be Taken In Rapture,” concerning the Seven Churches in Revelation Chapters 2-3.

Matthew 13:31

“He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

Matthew 17:20

“And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.”

Mark 4:31-32

““It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE.”

Luke 17:6

And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you.”

     All of these versus in the Bible state how small your faith is when you start, but as you grow, how mighty you will become.  You will even let the birds of the air nest under its shade.  To me that last part would mean “You will help others rest in the Lord to become mighty warriors and do the greater works then Jesus did as well.  I would pray that for each Christian – Amen.

     All this will happen as you walk in FAITH and OBEDIENCE of the WORD.  You will take small steps at first, and then develop into a mighty oak tree, strong in your belief and trust in our Lord.

     I’ve had many discussions about these versus, as to whether you can actually “move a mountain” or “uproot a mulberry tree”?  I firmly believe that IF GOD said it, I believe it, and that settles it! – so yes whether it’s a mountain in your way or a mulberry tree or any major problem in your way.  I would suggest you not try to test Abba, it would probably back fire on you.  But if there is a need, that the enemy has caused YES HE WOULD!

      As you develop your spiritual eyes and ears, you will see and experience the miraculous divine intervention of almighty God in your own life.

     I command any spirit that is not from God Almighty forbidden in the house of anyone who reads this blog.  I bind you and command you to leave that house and go straight into the pit until Jesus releases you.  In Jesus’ Name.  AMEN!

Are You Seeking The Word to Let Holy Spirit develop your Inner Man?

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     First and foremost, it’s past time to ignore what others say.  It’s also past time for each of us to stand up to the enemy [twerp].

Exodus 15:9

“The enemy said, ‘I will pursue,
I will overtake,
I will divide the spoil;
My desire shall be satisfied on them.
I will draw my sword,
My hand shall destroy them.'”

     If you’ve ever wondered what the enemy wants to do to all Christians, here’s a good place to start… Exodus 15:9 tell us the enemy will pursue us, he will try to overtake us, he will divide the spoil [it will only be divided between his evil princes, not Father God].  Our enemies [satan/twerp] main purpose is to destroy you; body, soul and spirit.  Anyway he can, don’t forget, he’s had almost 3,000 years of practice.  Believe and confess daily, 1 John 4:4 “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is

 in you than he who is in the world.”

     This is why it’s so important to read, learn and practice the WORD OF GOD.  It’s true, unless you use it, you will belittle His power in you.  I believe this is why we have so many prodigals in the world.  They never practiced God’s Word, so the Word would not work for them.  They did it their way and expected God Almighty to change His ways, to suit them.  I can assure you nothing in the Bible will work IF; 1. You don’t belong to Him.  2. You don’t do it His way.  For ALL Glory and Power belong to ABBA Our Creator.

     When you don’t belong to Him, you cannot understand His Word.  And as long as you have not asked Jesus Christ into you life, the twerp will not bother you, because you already belong to him.  I’d also mention, you won’t have the Holy Spirit within you to teach or comfort you, when needed.

     If you don’t do it His way, He cannot bless you.  Father God [Abba] may know you will accept His Son, Jesus down the road, but some have to go down a very long road before they find any peace or joy in this world – what a shame.

1 Samuel 24:19

““For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.”

     For those of us that are saved, are you recognizing what the enemy is doing in your house, to your family or friends?  Have you learned that the twerp can come through your door on anyone who may walk in your house?  It can sneak in through your computer, TV or anything electrical.

     If you doubt me, let me tell you a story.  I was playing with a new camera trying to learn it to use at my nieces wedding I was going to.  I took a couple of pictures across the room and it looked fine on the cameras lens, but when I downloaded the pictures, I saw 2 full spirits on the first picture and 1 ½ on the second.  They were bent over backwards trying to get out of my cameras eye.  I was so shocked, I sent the pictures to 3 people, not realizing I was sending the spirits within the email.  Jen always believed she should command a headache to leave and up until that time, it worked faster than taking 2 aspirins.  Every time Ger walked past her computer room, she smelt smoke.  Kath, just called to tell me to delete that file.  So I called Jen and Ger to delete their file, apologized for sending them that picture.  They both did, and Jen is back commanding headaches to leave and Ger no longer smells smoke in her computer room.  PTL.

     To stop the twerp or any followers from coming in your door or TV etc., first, clean your house out – go through each room and bind the twerp from that room, command him to leave NOW in Jesus’ Name and not return.  Hebrews 1:14  “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?”  Then ask the ministering spirits to set guards around your house, forbidding anything accept what Abba allows to enter - Jesus’ Name. 

Hebrews 1:1-3

[1]  “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [2] For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.  [3] By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”

Acts 6:8-10

[8]  “And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.  [9]  Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen.  [10]  And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.”

      FAITH is believing and speaking His Word which is the SUBSTANCE, manifesting what you asked for, then you will understand how powerful your FAITH and HIS/WORDS are when you speak them.  Even when other people, with other beliefs, cannot resist the Holy Spirits’ wisdom you’ve spoken.

      Then you will understand how Stephen was full of faith and power.  Just like Jesus said in John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I [Jesus] say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

     That’s right, as you learn, practice and apply; Abba will do greater works in you, because Jesus came to purify our souls, as Jesus’ was sinless, now God can now work through you!

     So Let Holy Spirit develop your Inner Man.  Then start working the works that Jesus did.  You truly are the eyes, mouth, hands and feet of God Almighty here on earth, until Jesus comes for us.

     I command any spirit that is not from God Almighty not to be allowed in the house of anyone who reads this blog.  I bind you and command you to leave that house and go straight into the pit until Jesus releases you.  In Jesus’ Name.  AMEN!
