How To Do It God's Way


SF, Stagecoach, NV
Dear Brothers, Sisters and Unsaved

    As I said last Sunday, I'm going to discuss with you "HOW TO."  Let's start with the #1 lesson Jesus tells us to do if we want to OVERCOME:
    [Revelation 12:11 NKJV] "And they OVERCAME him [twerp/satan] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony [sharing what Jesus has done for you], and they did not love their lives to the death.  Why should we fear death, IF we know we'll spend eternity in Heaven?  Rejoice; I've covered in the past how goooood it will be, so tell your loved ones "I'll see you later," this is not goodbye forever, just for a short time,  I'll see you there.
    There's plenty of people you can share with at Walmart, grocery stores, work - especially when they say I have this problem - which you overcame.  Tell them how you overcame [that is considered "your testimony," in the Word] - ask to pray with them, IF they say yes, then pray, right then - IF they say no, pray for them at home in your prayers.  You might only be planting a seed in them, but you can ask the Holy Spirit to water the seed to it's fruition - His water is pure, as the Word is.
    You can also magnify the fruit of the Spirit, which is Abba's [God] characteristics:
    [Galatians 5:22-26 NKJV] 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those [who are] Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.  See how GOOD our GOD IS?  He's ALL of this and so much more!
    Be warned, Moses missed it because of his anger/frustration at the people, NEVER make any decision, when you're angry.  WHY? Instead of asking and having faith in God, they turned to complaining against their human leaders who were Moses and Aaron. But Abba wanted it done another way [Numbers 20:5-11] tells the story of Moses' anger.  He was either very angry or frustrated to remember what Abba said, so he just did what worked before: [Could you be doing the same thing, and wondering why you can't get past your situation?]
    [Numbers 20:11 NKJV] Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank."  Unfortunately, he was only to speak to the rock before their eyes.  Abba does not always do the same things, the same way - He's the boss and we should follow Him, not the past.  AND NEVER make a decision when we're angry!  Although in this case for Moses, Abba still gave them the water they wanted.
    Another point would be most Christians know this scripture, but do you remember where it's at?  Often, we'll quote a scripture, but not the verse - so when someone asks where it's at - we have to search.  So keep a sheet of paper in your Bible or pocket of the scriptures you often use to share with others.  It will help, I've learned to do it for myself.
    [Galatians 5:14-17 NKJV] 14 "For ALL THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN ONE WORD, [even] in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
    In other Words - TAKE A DEEP BREATH and THINK WWJD [What Would Jesus Do]?  Before you spew evil against someone.  Keep in mind, we're only forgiven as we forgive others.
    Another possibility for you which I've been writing about since August 2011, when I started this in using YOUR AUTHORITY given to you by the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, from the works Jesus completed He's given to us.  You can go back to the earlier blogs in Ezra 7:10and find the AUTHORITY ones to renew your mind.
    My final one for today is ASK in your prayers for the dreams or visions, as you speak Job 33:14-16 below.  Speak them to get the answers you need,  if you're unsure what to do - tell the Lord you want to perceive it!
    Remember, if you get a dream, vision or instruction - when you awake, write it down in the first 5 minutes of waking up.  Otherwise you're likely to forget it.  As you write it down, ask the Holy Spirit for clarity and remembrance of whatever you might have forgotten already.
    [Job 33:14-16 NKJV] 14 "For God may speak in one way, or in another, [Yet man] does not perceive it. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, 16 Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction."

    I also add to my evening prayers, [Isaiah 54:17 NKJV] "No weapon formed against [any of those I've prayed for] shall prosper, And every tongue [which] rises against you [me] in judgment You [Abba] shall condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness [is] from Me," declares the LORD. - In Jesus' Name - Amen

Blessing to ALL,
