“DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE” BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!!

“DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE,” “Six of the most spine chilling words ever spoken. Torment him, disappoint him, afflict him, devastate him, and break him. “DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE” Lie on him, dishonor him, persecute him, and handicap him. “DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE.” Embarrass him, ridicule him, expose him and shame him. “DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE. Sour his relationship, compromise his finances, ruin his reputation, and destroy his health. “DO WITH HIM AS YOU PLEASE.” In Case you did not get it, God is giving Satan His permission to do to us as he pleases in his diabolical quest to make us dishonor our God and accuse him falsely” (Fred Pullins) It is good to be able to quote from a good friend for once, thank you Fred.

As I continue I will try and make some sense out of God’s way of thinking because if He would allow such tragedy to befall his servant Job, as He BAITS Satan in Job 1:8 (NIV) “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth”

What chance do we have over 2000 years later. But “Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. Ecc. 8:17 (KJV)

Friends, That text tells me trying to look at it from God’s point of view is futile. So I will ask myself the question how strong must a Child of God be in the 21^st century for God to have the confidence in them to say to Satan “DO WITH HIM OR HER AS YOU PLEASE.”

As I focus on the reality of it ever happening. It would be an honor for God to have such faith in me, I just don’t know if I’m there yet. But friends we must begin with genuine passion as we seek God’s presence to prepare us as we tell God.

PLEASE, LORD, what must I do to be saved, PLEASE don’t hold back because I know the alternative in not being prepared is perdition. So God whatever it takes PLEASE prepare me to be “Safe to Save.”

I’m also told it all starts with the power of your Spirit as we take up your cross. SO GOD PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR CROSS TO BEAR. If I am not ready PLEASE prepare me, a CHOSEN vessel, a faithful servant who you can tell the god of this world “DO WITH HIM OR HER AS YOU PLEASE” because there  faith is built on My Word And I know it “will not be shaken.”

But God I’m terrified at the thought, but I know THERE IS NO OTHER WAY no matter how I try to justify or excuse getting out of it by saying, I’m not ready, I have school to finish, I just started my career, my kids are still at home, what will my husband or wife or girlfriend or boyfriend think or I just bought a house and the list goes on.

But we must realize it all comes down to what God wants and how can we praise him in our sufferings as we carry his cross, because as a chosen vessel who has received a mandate directly from God that states “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses…..to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NKJV) There is no other way.

So close your eyes and decide now to give it all to the Master as we build a level of faith through His word that will be stretched to the limit as God prepares us “FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS Because we know there IS NO OTHER WAY.

In addition we also know you loved us so much that you even allowed Satan to “DO WITH YOUR ONLY BEGOTTEN SON AS HE PLEASED.” So that your adopted “SONS and DAUGHTERS may be saved. “So here I am Lord my life is in your hands, NOW “PREPARE ME TO BE YOUR INSTRUMENT,” “FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.”

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

“JESUS CHRIST IS PRECIOUS, JESUS CHRIST IS PRECIOUS”!!!

PRECIOUS: meaning something of great value or highly esteemed or loved. My friends Severe changes are mounting in our life each day. We are gradually becoming emptied of our resources and  hopes. Our lives are changing from day to day, from SITUATION TO SITUATION, and CIRCUMSTANCES TO CIRCUMSTANCES.

But “Our God is a PRECIOUS God who we must have a PASSION to spend every moment in the presence of our PRECIOUS GOD before we  know without a doubt that He cares and our lives are safe when we give it all to Christ.

PASSION is defined as any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling and this power can only come from a PASSIONATE and PRECIOUS GOD whose word ” is alive and active.” in our lives “Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Heb 4:12 (NKJV)

“John Newton captain of a slave ship was a rough, dirty sailor with a foul mouth and an appetite for rotten living. He hated life and life hated him.” “He sailed back to England in 1748 aboard the merchant ship Greyhound, during this voyage, he experienced a spiritual conversion.

The ship encountered a severe storm off the coast of Donegal and almost sank. Newton awoke in the middle of the night and finally called out to God as the ship filled with water.” And miraculously, before the ship sunk God saved him “It was this experience which he later marked as the beginnings of his conversion.”

He went on to become an evangelical lay minister, and writer who wrote the hymn “Amazing Grace! He also played a significant role in the movement to abolish the slave trade, the business he once made his living at. Old and Blind One Sunday, while delivering his message he repeated the sentence: ” JESUS CHRIST IS PRECIOUS.”

His helper whispered to him: “But you have already said that twice.” Newton turned to his helper and said loudly, “Yes, I’ve said it twice, and I’m going to say it (until it is the last breath I will ever say before I die) My friends our PASSION for CHRIST must, if nothing else in this world bring us to the realization that JESUS CHRIST IS PRECIOUS, JESUS CHRIST IS PRECIOUS.

I with no reservation what so ever understand how John Newton could composed such a song with PASSION as “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found. ‘Twas blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed.  Even When we’ve been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Then when we first begun.

MY friends I love the part that says, even when we have been in God’s PRECIOUS PRESENCE “TEN THOUSAND YEARS” we will still be singing praises “JESUS CHRIST IS PRECIOUS, JESUS CHRIST IS PRECIOUS” for what He did for us on Calvary.  Quicksand is a gooey substance that blends in with its surroundings, and if you get caught in it, and you have no help to get you out, you are in trouble.

Everything you try to do by yourself only allows the sand to just keep dragging you underneath as you sink deeper and deeper, until you become completely submerged. The sinner who never grasped onto the PRECIOUS arms of Christ is usually lead into the sinking sand of sin.

Forced by Satan to go as far as possible until you are completely submerged because Sin will always take you farther than you ever thought you would go if your eyes are not focused on our PRECIOUS SAVIOR.

Remember our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was anointed by the Father to proclaim liberty to the captives of Satan to pull us to the shores of safety.  My friends if your soul is in danger and it continues to sink, look above to OUR PRECIOUS SAVIOR because He completely saves, as He lift’s us up by His PRECIOUS and LOVING arms.

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

“OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES, ALL GROUND IS LEVEL BENEATH THE CROSS!!!”

In the pass week the country’s focus has been on the subject of discrimination. Next week it will probably shift to a sex scandal of a prominent politician or athletic. But the flavor for this week is the hate and stupidity of two men with no idea that God created everyone equal.

Friends the world is full of Mr. Bundy’s and Sterling’s. A story is told of “General Robert E. Lee a devout follower of Jesus Christ. It is said that soon after the end of the American Civil War, he visited a church in Washington, D.C. During the communion service he knelt beside a black man.

An onlooker said to him later,” “How could you do that?” kneel by a black man in the presence of God. Lee replied, “MY FRIEND, ALL GROUND IS LEVEL BENEATH THE CROSS.” If each of God’s Children could make those words their GUIDING PRINCIPLES or MISSION STATEMENT from within.

For “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Gal 3:28 (ESV) In Heb.12:15 (NKJV) it tell us to “See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled.”

Hate and anger mentally allows Satan to take full control of our Heart and Mind as it eats away every good cell that God has instilled into us from above. The entire basis for DISCRIMINATION IS HATRED.

HATRED allows for the insane reasoning of a fellow Human to be separated from another Human simply because of their gender, color of there skin, or religious beliefs. “Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity” (and cohesiveness. Hate destroys the foundation of our Character and distorts our ability to think or function rationally as a Child of God who‘s only focus should be on the kingdom of God.)

“Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly, and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.” (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

Hate has slowly lead the U.S. and the world to the point where Satan has been trying to get us to for 6000 years, and now today I can say with no reservation in saying it. Satan has succeeded in that Hatred in our world today is more prominent then the love of God.

But I can also say without a doubt that God is still in Control, and one day He will stand up and say IT IS FINISHED. As we look at the world today, and we near the closeness of Christ soon return, we must let the world know the good news of Christ soon return.

Consistent with this the world also needs to know “ALL GROUND IS LEVEL BENEATH THE CROSS” and that the Cancer of hate can go into remission with the power of Love, for Love can neutralize and destroy all Hate from within.

Paul tells us in 1Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV) that “ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily ANGERED, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails…… and it can never fail because God can never fail, and love is greatest gift from God to the world through His Son who died on Calvary to save man from the penalty of sin.”

My friends as Christ hung dying on the cross the blood he shed was for the sins of the black world, the white world, the brown world, the yellow world, and the red world. There was no discrimination at Calvary because BENEATH CHRIST FEET AS HIS BLOOD DRIPPED BENEATH HIM  “ALL GROUND WAS LEVEL.”

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