TRAVEL LIGHTLY MY FRIENDS, HEAVEN IS OUR DESTINATION!!!

“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.” Heb.13:14-15

As 2013 comes to a close today. My commitment and I hope my friends God’s Spirit can convince you, that it is TIME TO GIVE IT ALL TO THE MASTER. First of all I will start off each day asking God WHAT IS YOUR AGENDA FOR ME TODAY, LORD?

Nothing from this point on, can be about us my friends SELF MUST DIE, and A TRANSFORMATION MUST TAKE PLACE. Our FOCUS should only be, what does God’s AGENDA entail. If our plans are to make CHRIST AGENDA our PRIORITY, then it is time we begin DOWNSIZING our PRIORITIES starting with what the god of this world deems as essential.

My friends from now until we can see our Savior face to face WE MUST TRAVEL LIGHTLY, WITH HEAVEN OUR DESTINATION as we spread the good news of the gospel to a world marred in sin. First of all we must

“LAY ASIDE every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares OUR LIFE, AS WE RUN with endurance the race that is set before us,  looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross….Heb 12:1-2

The road will only get narrower my friends on this Journey God has placed His chosen on. But God’s Word and Spirit must be our only benchmark with HEAVEN OUR DESTINATION. So today ask yourself as you stand in the presence of God, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED.

And I think its safe to say He will tell you. LAY ASIDE some of your friends, and LAY ASIDE most of what you watch on TV, internet, and at the show, LAY ASIDE unhealthy foods, and LAY ASIDE what you say,and hear that is an abomination to Me. For “whatever you do, do it all for MY GLORY.”

My friends I could continue, but I think you recognize once you add to that list your own hidden sins, while LAYING ASIDE all of the SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE SINS Satan places before all of us which so “easily ensnares you” Then HEAVEN WILL TRULY BE YOUR DESTINATION, and a goal that you SEEK, with a real PASSION to get to.

God has placed us in a very unique position as HIS CHOSEN. But we must realize that Satan also has chosen us. James tells us in James 1:14-15 “But each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”

Yes my friends we are chosen by Satan for PERDITION. But AS WE REMOVE EVERY “WEIGHT OF SIN THAT SO EASILY ENSNARES US“ God then tells us “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,” Col 3:23 for the stakes are high my friends if we give it all to the Master our REWARD IS ETERNAL LIFE.

friends each of us have been placed where we are today “for such a time as this?” for “The Spirit of the Lord is upon His chosen, Because He has anointed us To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent us to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; and To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:18-19)

Yes my friends “a release from SLAVERY, DEBT, OBLIGATIONS, AS WE FOCUS ON RESTORATION “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth will passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I AM MAKING EVERYTHING NEW!” Rev. 21:1-5 So TRAVEL LIGHTLY MY FRIENDS, HEAVEN IS OUR DESTINATION!!!

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

THE FIRST RESTORATION STARTS WITH OUR HEART

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. Rev 21:1-3

My friends, what is God’s overall plan for the redeemed? Paul tells us in 1 Cor. 2:9 “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

RESTORATION, paradise incarnate, or a new creation beyond our finite imagination. All RESTORED for the redeemed Peter tells us in 2 Peter 3:13 “we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.”

John tells us that we will also have a face-to-face relationship with God. Can you imagine on any given day, you can visit the King of the universe with no stipulations. Remember we already have an open invitation, that was given to us on Calvary. And my friends if we have Faith and believe in God’s promises, all that was lost in the original Eden will be RESTORED TO US ONE DAY SOON.

But where I am trying to take you today friends is not the RESTORATION of the new earth. That is a given, but the RESTORATION OF OUR HEARTS that must take place as we allow self to die daily through the power of God’s Spirit before we can enjoy the fruits of  “a new heaven and a new earth.”

So how do we RESTORE OUR HEARTS to where God accepts us in His earth made new. Well first, we must stand still and recognize the voice of God. John tells us in Rev. 3:20  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.

But it’s hard to here the VOICE OF GOD if we are not seeking His presence with a passion from within. John 1:12-13 tells us that “as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those who believe into His name, who were begotten…of God.”

So my friends this tells me if I seek the presence of God I then become a child of God. And we can only find GOD”S PRESENCE in His Word as we allow God’s Spirit ENTRANCE INTO OUR HEARTS so that HE CAN TOTALLY RESTORE US INTO THE IMAGE OF GOD, as we lay prostrate before him in SILENCE and SINCERITY, with a CONTRITE HEART.

“The greater mystery, surpassing all words, summons us to SILENCE. It must, of course, be a SILENCE with content for the PRESENCE OF GOD, not just the absence of speech and action. We should expect the SACREDNESS to give us a positive STILLNESS that will RESTORE OUR HEARTS TO GOD.

Such stillness will not be just a pause, in which a thousand thoughts and desires assault us, but a time of recollection, giving us an inward peace, allowing us to draw breath and rediscover the one thing necessary, which we have either forgotten.” Or something we have never experienced, and that is being in the PRESENCE OF A GOD who can RESTORE us into His image.

When Christ was on this earth his main objective was not to bring physical RESTORATION to the lost, but a restoration that brought man back to a Savior that was separated from HIS DAILY PRESENCE through sin, So my friends the cross made that possible

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will RESTORE your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile. “Jer.29:11-14 AND MY FRIENDS THAT IS “A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH”

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

“WHERE IS THIS ‘COMING’ HE PROMISED?

I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “WHERE IS THIS ‘COMING’ HE PROMISED? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 2 Peter 3:2-4

My friends today let’s focus on 2 Peter 3:2-11 where we read “WHERE IS THIS ‘COMING’ HE PROMISED? We who live in the free world are not very good at handling waiting for any length of time.

Our communication with each other is faster then ever. We prepare food in seconds, in our micro waves, travel in planes, trains, and automobiles get’s us to any location, throughout the world in record time.

We can retrieve money instantly with a four number password at any ATM machine. Our Credit cards allow us to purchase anything, at anytime. Waiting is just not an option in our fast pace, got to have it now society we live in today.

We hate red lights, stop signs and long lines at the grocery store. So why should we WAIT on some unseen Deity that we have only heard about in some fantasy book called the bible that is as old as the world we live in.

And this big bang theory about a king coming through the clouds to retrieve everyone who is crazy enough to wait on Him is ludicrous. If He was coming He should have been here by now. Yes my friends inquiring scoffers want’s to know.

My friends the mockers say they have given God plenty of time to fulfill His so call promises of “going and preparing a place for the redeemed, and one day coming back and take them all back with him to this  far away place He lives, called heaven.” So why the wait? “WHERE IS THIS ‘COMING’ HE PROMISED?

So my friends let’s first look at who these scoffers are Paul says in verse 3 “in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.” Also in In 2 Cor. 4:4 Paul says “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers (and scoffers), so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

Then my friends Paul reminds all of us in verse 5 and 6 that the world at one time was “deluged and destroyed by water” and  of course Gen. 6:5 tells us why “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. SOUNDS LIKE THE 21st CENTURY.

Then in verse 7 Paul let’s us know that one day “the earth will be destroyed again with fire, “being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.” and that my friends includes the Scoffers who ask “WHERE IS THIS ‘COMING’ HE PROMISED?

But why the wait we all have asked before. Well my friends it is all about the LOVE OF A FATHER who gave “His only Begotten son” to die for each of us so that we will be ready AT HIS SECOND COMING.  Yes my friends it is about the LOVE OF A FATHER who tells us in verse 8 and 9 to Him “a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”

And that He’S “not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not WANTING ANYONE TO PERISH, but everyone to come to REPENTANCE.” But my friends  OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN, SOON, WILL STAND UP, AND SAY “IT IS FINISHED.”

LET’S GO GET OUR CHILDREN WHO HAVE HELD ON TO THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH, AND BELIEVED IN MY PROMISES, AND WHO HAVE ENDURED TO THE END  And friends, “this day of the Lord will come like a thief.” 2 Peter 3:10

“AND THEN,”  “the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. “AND THEN,” the dead in Christ will rise first. “AND THEN,” we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. “AND THEN,”we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thess 4:16-17 My friends please keep your faith centered on all of God’s promises in HIS WORD and ENDURE and soon and very soon “HIS COMING HE PROMISED WILL BE HERE.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD

“….. for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD…..Matt. 6:6-11 

My friends in Luke 11:1 it tells us “as Christ was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray”  The Lord’s prayer it is called, a prayer about a God who knows our every need even before we ask Him. A God who is willing to GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD.

Not our weekly BREAD, or our monthly BREAD, or our yearly BREAD, but OUR DAILY BREAD. This is where I want to take you today my friends, because this journey to the kingdom that Christ has placed us on requires a DAILY WALK with Him.

Christ tells us in John 6:35 “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. OH my God! What a promise to His chosen generation who seeks His presence “whoever comes to me will never hunger, or thirst”

And in Matt. 5:6 He also tells us Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled, My friends in that text our Savior is telling us we have to crave Salvation, it must be a passion we seek DAILY just like our craving for physical nourishment, we must also crave DAILY to be filled spiritually, and it can only come from God’s word and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit

“Come and quench this thirsting of my soul. Bread of Heaven, fill me up, and make me whole.” Yes my friends let your hunger and thirst be made whole through God’s Word, and Spirit for “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

My friends all roads to the kingdom and eternal life goes through the Word, not your Parents or your pastor or your psychiatrist or your husband, or wife or your TV or the internet. My friends ONLY THE WORD WHO GOD IS can fill us but we must have a passion like we have never had before, a passion that drives us all the way to Calvary as we take up the Cross and follow Christ wherever He leads.

Oh what a challenge my friends, to be “crucified with Christ; for once you are crucified with Christ it is no longer you who lives, but THE BREAD OF LIFE who lives in us; and the life which you now live in the flesh you live by faith in the THE BREAD OF LIFE who is the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for all who believes.

Christ also tells us in John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Now my friends what do you give in return for your life. Remember Salvation is free, but at what price.

Let’s never forget we were on the auction block when Christ saved us, a slave to sin, and Satan, but our Savior paid the ultimate price for us which was his own blood that was shed on Calvary. And now because of what Christ has done for each of us we should be willing to give Him our all.

Paul tells us in 1 Cor. 15:10  But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I WORKED HARDER THAN ALL OF THEM yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. Yes my friends WE MUST BE WILLING TO WORK HARDER THAN ALL OF THEM, as we serve the Lord, and take the good news of the gospel to everyone.

For Christ tells us “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” John 6:32 My friends This is your Mandate, now “Go into all the world” and TELL THEM ABOUT THE BREAD OF LIFE FROM HEAVEN as you let your light so shine that all may see Christ in you.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

“AND THEN,” WHAT DO WE SEE BEHIND THE CURTAIN?

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4

My friends  “IF THE ANGELS COULD PULL BACK THE CURTAIN” and you would see how close the god of this world and all who follow Him are to reaching their cup of indignation, and GOD STANDING UP AND SAYING IT IS FINISHED.

I continue to elaborate on that statement AS GOD ALLOWS THE CURTAIN TO BE PARTIALLY OPEN and we see that “the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers,” and many Christians alike, who have become complacent ABOUT THE SERIOUSNESS OF WHERE WE ARE IN PROPHECY.

As I study God’s Word I realize more than ever, and my friends I hope, and pray as that CURTAIN IS PARTIALLY OPEN it reveals to you what I am seeing. Let’s FOCUS TODAY on Matt 24:14 “this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; AND THEN shall the end come.” Those two words my friends says it all “AND THEN.”

In this fast pace high tech age we live in, what moment IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS will we not be aware of when the good news of the gospel would have reached everyone, “AND THEN.”  ” It took radio broadcasters 38 years to reach an audience of 50 million, television 13 years, and the Internet just four.

Information and communications technology (ICT) have changed the face of the world. Defined as computers, software, telecoms, such as mobile and fixed phones, the Internet and satellite technologies, ICT enables people to communicate with family, friends and colleagues around the world instantaneously, as they gain access to global libraries, information and resources, and enumerable opportunities.

“The Internet is the fastest growing instrument of communication in the history of civilization, and it may be the most rapidly disseminating tool of any kind ever. The convergence of information technology and the Internet may well become as transformative as the industrial revolution.”

So my friends once again, what moment IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS will we not be aware of  GOD’S WORD  reaching the entire world, “AND THEN,” while many continue to be looking for some catastrophic event to happen like Hollywood portrays the end time events, but God says.

“REMEMBER, THEREFORE, WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED AND HEARD: HOLD IT FAST AND REPENT. But if you do not WAKE UP, I will come LIKE A THIEF, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.” Rev. 3:3

But oh the loving grace of God who tells us to “REMEMBER, THEREFORE, WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED AND HEARD: HOLD IT FAST AND REPENT” For “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

Oh the loving grace of God who has given us today, for tomorrow is not promised, to allow the Holy Spirit to transform our lives as we allow self to die in Christ. My friends if you have a passion to give it all to the Master and do His will, then God is allowing HIS SPIRIT to lead you BEHIND THE CURTAIN, and see that any day now we will be at “AND THEN,”

So please go before our Savior day and night seeking His presence, and hold on to His promises through FAITH, and not letting  go until His appearing, and we see Him face to face, as he tells us well done thou good and faithful servant.

My friends those words I have a passion to Hear. The new year begins in a few days, and  God tells us, “if  you keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Well my friends the stones are crying out and it is called Information and communications technology (ICT) and any day now the entire world would have heard the good news of the gospel. “AND THEN,”  only those who have “washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” will be ready.

“AND THEN,”  “the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. “AND THEN,” the dead in Christ will rise first. “AND THEN,” we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. “AND THEN,”we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thess 4:16-17

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

DARKNESS WILL DISSIPATE IF YOU FOCUS ON THE LIGHT!!!

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good.” Gen.1:2-4

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph 6:12

So today my friends let’s focus on what it will take for a child of God to DISSIPATE the DARKNESS in there life, and I say that because “No man or women can serve two masters; for either they will hate the one, and love the other; or else they will hold to one, and despise the other.

Ye cannot serve God and the RICHES OR MATERIAL WEALTH MORE THEN HIM,  or ANYTHING ON TV OR THE INTERNET THAT IS ABOMINABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, PREMARITAL SEX, ADULTRY, PONOGRAPHY, HOMOSEXUALITY, BREAKING ANY OF GOD’S TEN COMMANDMENTS,  AND WHAT YOU EAT OR DRINK IF IT IS NOT TO THE GLORY OF GOD” AND THE LIST GOES ON.

My friends Christ Died so that we may CONQUER the darkness of this world, but the problem is when we don’t recognize we have a problem, by not allowing Christ Spirit to transform your life out of the Darkness into the light, or when we have allowed our lives to be satisfied with what we deem are grey areas or “SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE SINS.”

So our PASSION must be to only FOCUS ON THE LIGHT by allowing the Spirit to transform your life into the image of Christ and once you have allowed that to happen you then become THE LIGHT, as you spread the good news of the gospel

“Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Matt. 5:14-16

NOW WITH YOU BEING THE LIGHT, Christ becomes your example in all areas, for the “Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the year of Jehovah’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; Isaiah 61:1-2

And As God’s chosen our first responsibility is to follow Christ. “So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” John 20:21 And as we trace the steps of Christ in God’s Word you then take on the Character traits of Christ,

which is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, FORGIVEN, PURITY AND HOLINESS, COMPASSION, ENDURANCE, “HUMILITY, AND OBEDIENT TO THE POINT OF DEATH EVEN THE DEATH OF THE CROSS” Phil 2:8

So my friends if YOUR FOCUS IS ON THE LIGHT one day in some form or another as you allow self to die and you become one in Christ your faith will lead you to the LIGHT OF THE CROSS “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Gal 2:19-20

But my friends that is not the end of the story because one day he will say to his faithful ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Matt 25:23

Where is your allegiance today “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:26-27

The curtain is pulled back, we are at the threshold, you see daily where we are in prophecy. My friends HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH, ENDURE BECAUSE THE DARKNESS WILL DISSIPATE IF YOU FOCUS ON THE LIGHT!!!

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

Dec. 25, 2013

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS, HERE I AM!!!

My friends oh what a gift that the world received at the cross. Who could have ask for anything more than the gift of Salvation and eternal life, given to us THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, when “our father which art in heaven” gave us His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, WILL NOT PERISH but have EVERLASTING LIFE John 3:16.

Now the question I need you to focus on today is WHAT DO WE GIVE IN RETURN. The MAGI  who brought gifts to Christ brought gold representing his kingship, frankincense a symbol of his priestly role, and myrrh a prefiguring of his death and embalming of A priestly King.

“A multitude of camels will cover you, The young camels of Midian and Ephah; All those from Sheba will come; They will bring gold and frankincense, And will bear good news of the praises of the LORD.” Isaiah 60:6 it’s So much prophecy and still there was no room at the inn for our Saviors birth.

But my friends what is your personal  BIRTHDAY GIFT for the KING. Remember “the wages of sin is death” “but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” who died for us. OH THE PASSION OF CHRIST, our example of LOVE. who gave us such a gift and ask for nothing in return because God knew that the act of given should never be on some condition of now what will I get in return, because given should be all about LOVE.

So as a child of the King that would mean a complete elimination of self into the body of Christ where we become as one for “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Gal 2:19-20

So today as I personally STUDY GOD’S WORD, and as I allow God’s Spirit to guide A PASSION FROM WITHIN TO GIVE SOMETHING, so I came up with the greatest gift I could give to a king and that  is to respond to our Saviors calling when He ask each of us to “COME TO ME.”

SURRENDER IT ALL FOR THE MASTER. My friends the PASSION must be personal, because only we know how far His arms has reached, and where we were when we were “sinking deep in sin” and He brought us to His  loving arms and just said “COME TO ME AND REST” “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matt. 8:29-30

Such a simple gift my friends the king ask of us,when He simply says “COME TO HIM”. So what will it take for you today to COME TO HIM, what will you have to give up that the god of this world has you thinking you can’t do without. But He tell us if you do “COME TO HIM”

“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.  And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matt. 10:37-39

My friends that verse tells it all, and he never mentions the things of this world we fill we can’t do without like TV, OVER EATING, PORNOGRAPHY, MONEY MONEY AND MORE MONEY, AND SPENDING MONEY, I think you get the picture My friends once again “IF THE ANGELS COULD PULL BACK THE CURTAIN” and you would see how close the god of this world and all who follow Him are to reaching their cup of indignation, and  GOD STANDING UP AND SAYING IT IS FINISHED. We would all tremble and weep while putting on sackcloth and ashes as we fall prostrate before God in repentance.

My friends soon we want have to say “LORD HOW LONG” because He will be appearing, through the clouds above but today grace and mercy is still with us but the Spirit of the Lord is gradually being removed from the earth so while a few minutes is still on our side “COME TO HIM”.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

“TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD”

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD, even to them that are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:27-28

If you are a child of God, there must be a guanine faith and a passion for the presence of God that gives us hope in all situations and circumstances which then makes life complete. Without that, there is a void from within. The poet Byron said, “My days are in yellow leaf, the flowers and fruits of life are gone, the worm and the canker, and the grief are mine alone.” Ralph Barton, one of the top cartoonists of the nations, left this note pinned to his pillow before taking his own life: “I have had few difficulties, many friends, great successes; I have gone from wife to wife, from house to house, visited great countries of the world, but I am fed up with inventing devices to fill up twenty-four hours of the day.”

Friends on average, there are 12.1 deaths per 100,000 lives that somehow Satan has convince that suicide is their only HOPE. And the no. 1 cause is depression which is always followed by a inescapable sense of belief that there is no escape, and that life has just become hopeless.

What a sad scenario for a child of the King, a King who gave His only Begotten Son to suffer the death of the cross, which becomes an example for each of us as we recognize that the “glory of our Salvation is in our sufferings “because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5

So my friends  the last sentence of verse 5 is where I am trying to take you today where it tells us hope does not put us to shame, because “GOD’S LOVE HAS BEEN POURED OUT INTO OUR HEARTS through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”

And if we go over to Romans 8:27-28 is says “He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD, even to them that are called according to his purpose.”

My friends, the promises of God is before us, but we must seek His promises with a passion, as we say please “pour until we are filled, You provide the Fire I’ll provide the sacrifice, You provide the Spirit And I will open up the inside” But in order for this to happen we must allow self to die, as the Spirit transforms our Character without hindrance.

And once we have given Him total access then, Our Marriage, health, children, employment, finances and life itself will all WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD . But the main INGREDIENT to ALL THINGS WORKING TOGETHER FOR GOOD, is our FAITH, because we may not always see the milk, honey, and the fruits in the promise land at the time we need it.

That is where our FAITH takes over because “without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Heb.11:6  My friends look around, listen to the news, God’s Spirit is gradually being withdrawn from individuals and therefore Satan leaves them with no hope because the god of this world is who they have chosen to serve.

So as God’s chosen generation we have the responsibility to take the good news of the gospel to the world and tell them THERE IS HOPE, THERE IS MERCY, THERE IS GRACE, THERE IS LOVE, AND ALL THINGS WILL WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD” if you believe. But it starts with knowing God  through His word and Spirit.

My friends if the “angels could pull back the curtain” and you could see how close we are to God saying it is finished we would all tremble and weep while putting on sackcloth and ashes as we fall prostrate before God in repentance. But my friends today God is asking that we allow HIS LOVE TO BE POURED OUT INTO OUR HEARTS, SO THAT ALL THINGS WILL WORK TOGETHER FOR OUR SALVATION, AND ETERNAL LIFE.”

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY

EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! “LORD HOW LONG”? SOON

“A shoot shall come out from the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots…And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist. The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them….for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” Is. 11:1-9

Isaiah a prophet for Christ first, and second coming. “LORD HOW LONG?” Isaiah cries out before he is foretold  the destruction of Israel but he also gives HOPE, for such a time. “Look, a young woman is with child and will bear a son and will call him Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14

My friends the testimony to each of us, and where I need you to focus on today is the vision of Isaiah when he saw “the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”Isaiah 6:1-3

HOPE my friends this is the picture I want imprinted in your mind every waken moment of your day. And as Isaiah was given a mandate from God we also have a mandate to go into all the world with the message EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT, IN GOD’S WORD!!! CHRIST WILL BE HERE SOON, TO TAKE US HOME WITH HIM, BUT FIRST YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THERE IS “NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN TO MANKIND BY WHICH WE CAN RECEIVE SALVATION.” And my friends we know that is only Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

But as God’s Chosen our responsibility is to study the word of God daily while allowing self to die as we become transformed into the character of Christ through His Spirit, and as we see the purity of our savior against the wretchedness of our lives, we will then lay prostrate before the Lord, and say as Isaiah.

“Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man and woman of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips” but God cleanse me each day as my Character becomes more and more like yours for I am a chosen representative chosen by the SON OF GOD to give the good news of His gospel to the world “for such a time as this.”

As we “Let our light so shine before men and women, that they may see our good works as we glorify our Father in heaven.” Matt. 5:16 So now ask yourself  Is my lamps trimmed, and full of oil. Am I determined to hold on to Christ until you have received the power of God’s Spirit.

My friends the god of this world has alternative plans for the Children of God as He tells His representatives. Just keep them occupied let them think my world is much more important then going to a place that “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,” that I got kicked out of for trying to say God’s law was unjust, and no one could keep it.

If we could have only kept His Son who I hate, from reaching Calvary, and showing that God’s law is Just, and Holy, and, based on GRACE, LOVE and MERCY, and that man can live a righteous life through faith. My friends one day soon even Satan will have to bow down to the Creator of the universe.

So today tell the world. EXTRA, EXTRA THE END IS NEAR NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT ON THE “WEDDING GARMENT OF THE LORD” as you “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross….” Heb. 12:1-2

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
