Pride And Prejudice

 

Jeremiah 25:24 

All the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert;

I just had a dream about a relative of mine, who had some children with a man that she loved. The relationship seemed right at the beginning, but in time it soured. She did something that the man  disapproved of, and they both got into a fight, and the man was abusive.

The dream ended with my relative crying and in despair, she regretted her decision to marry him. His name was an Arabic sounding name. She told me she should have known better because of what he stood for…

Their children were mixed in nature.  There were represented in the dream as goats and sheep and puppies. Some were very friendly and mild, but  some  were small and skinny, and  if you picked them up, they would bite your hand.  You had to forcibly separate your hand from their teeth.

I woke up with this thought in my mind, Do Not Trust Saudi Arabia, or the ruler of Saudi Arabia - 60,000 people will die in the insurgency... 

Most of the children were mild and easy to handle, until the call for action was given. Some will be nice and accommodating but some will bite the hand that feeds them.

God is always asking his children to depend upon him and not on what the world believes are the solutions to world peace. Most  mainstream therapists would say that the choice  for change will always be in behavior modification, but no amount of behavior modification will cure hate, pride, or prejudice.

Why Love is the New Law

 Galatians Chapter 3: 3-7

Do not be so foolish! You cannot complete by effort what God has started. You have suffered so many things. And I am sure that you did not suffer in vain. God gives his *Holy Spirit and he does *miracles among you. He does not do this because you obey the laws. Instead, you believe the truth that you heard. And so God does these things among you.

Similarly, Abraham trusted God and God declared him to be a friend of God. You see! People who trust God are the real ‘sons’ of Abraham

Those whose lives are governed by the law believe in their own capacity to be good, they cannot see that the Lord was giving them principles to live by because their own selfish human nature could not produce the same results. The people in the past believed in God not because they followed a certain set  of rules, but because they accepted the word of God and were willing to trust in Him. 

It is the same today. We believe in Jesus Christ because we trust in the word of God. Big movie style miracles will  not make anyone  a believer in God.  They must hear the word of God and accept it for themselves. People all over the world are starving  for the truth, and some are willing to do whatever it takes to find it, and because of their desire, the Lord will fulfill that need to know about God and His son, Jesus Christ.

From testimonies around the world, I see that people find Jesus Christ because they question their own cultural beliefs. They can see that these religious traditions will not fill the desires of their hearts. They are looking for more than just empty rituals and traditions. The Lord seeks these people out because they know by instinct  that there is so much more to the meaning of life than the world's system of laws and customs can provide.

Those who live by the law:

Have no real relationship with Jesus Christ

Have separated themselves from the power of the Holy Spirit

Are not under the covenant of Grace that all believers in Jesus Christ possess

Under Jesus Christ, faith and love work together to form a new covenant between God and His people through His Son Jesus. Those who live under the grace and protection of Jesus Christ have no fear about who they are, because they reside in the heart of Jesus Christ.

Faith and love versus the law, there is no real contest, for love and faith always wins against the law. The law reveals sins but it cannot redeem you from those sins or change your weak human nature, but love and faith brings in the light of Jesus Christ into your heart and the power of the Holy Spirit, who transforms our hearts and minds into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

Faith without love is dead, and love without the wisdom of God leads to a dead end. It is the love of Jesus in our hearts and His word that guides our lives every day. When we trust in the Lord and live by His words, we are victorious in life. Money, power and fame are temporary and do not bring any real life or light into the world. It is the love of the Lord Jesus Christ that created this world, and it is His love for us and this world that will bring peace and joy to everyone that believes in Him, to those who are called according to His purpose.

When you compare human nature to the Spirit of God, there is no true comparison, because you can see that the Spirit of God has the best results upon our character. No one is able to deny what we are apart from God, but the Lord does not care that we cannot live up to His standards. He cares that we come to Him with an understaning of who He is and the sincerity in our hearts to believe in His Son, Jesus.

What about you? Do you wish to know the truth about God? Ask the Lord Jesus to come into your heart right now - choose God, and you will never be disappointed with your choice...

Dear God, I admit right now that I am a sinner. I believe that Your Son, Jesus, died on the cross to take away my sin. I also believe He rose from the dead so I can be justified and made righteous through faith in Him. Jesus, I choose to follow You, and I ask that you fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for saving me! Amen.

Where There Is Love, There is Grace

 1 Corinthians chapter 13:4-7

 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.

When God finally judges the world, He will judge them for their sins. When the Lord governs His own people, He reveals to them their sinful behavior so that they may repent and ask for forgiveness. Repentance promotes a transformation in a believer's heart that leads to a real change in their lives. We should desire peace, joy, and righteousness over anger, hate, and selfishness.

Love is patient, love is kind. Love washes away the insults, the hurts and the pains. We live because of God’s love and some will die eternally in the pit of hell because in their hearts they have denied God’s love. They seek to love themselves and to live for their own desires, but this is the path to darkness and to a place where you will not find God, because He lives in the light. His love is expressed by His kindness and compassion to the ones who are willing to accept His Son Jesus as their savior. They are the the ones who are seeking a real relationship with the God who created them.

God is not asking us to do great deeds or climb mountains, the simple truth is that He wants us to love Him and to accept His gift of mercy. Sin is killing people slowly every day, but only those who are willing to see the corruption in their hearts and do something about it will ever see the Kingdom of God

The kingdom of God is not a physical place, it is a place where your heart exists in Jesus Christ. You exist in Him, and He occupies the lonely and broken places in your heart. He restores your soul,  heals your wounds, and he gives you new life. You will receive peace and joy. You will be happy and content just to call on His name every day. Just the sweet mention of His name brings happiness and contentment.

Nothing that this world desires will ever satisfy your heart more than the love of Jesus Chirst. You will always feel like there is someone special in your life that will never leave you or forsake you. Jesus accepts you as you are, and then his love will transform your heart and mind.

Will you not consider what God has in store for your life? Can you do any better on your own? If you have the courage to answer that question, then let me offer you the best thing that could ever happen to you in your life. Please repeat the Prayer of Salvation, and let me welcome you into the Kingdom of God

Prayer of Salvation

Lord Jesus, I need you right now, I want to know what it feels like to be loved just as I am.  I repent of all of my sins, and I am so sorry for what I have done. Please come into my heart right now, and I will be forever grateful and free. Thank you Jesus, for all that you have done for me.  AMEN

GLORY HALLELUAH!! HE IS COMING SOON FOR HIS PEOPLE!

Surrender is the Holy Place

  Matthew 16:24

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

What I am surrendering to God is my heart, my body, and my soul, and God loves the people who will listen to His word and follow in the steps of HIs son, Jesus.

What does Jesus mean when He says, "follow me"? He wants everything that we would put into ourselves, and all of our loves, desires, suffering, aches and pains so that we give it all to Him. Jesus knows exactly what we need to survive and thrive in this world.

Are you hungry? Ask the Lord to show you the way to completeness and satisfaction. His way will not be your way of dealing with all of your needs, but His plans will always be better than our own.

Are you sad, angry, depressed, lonely or filled with fear? Surrender all of this to Jesus, and ask Him to help you live a peaceful and righteous life. You give HIm all the bad and negative things in your life, and He will give you peace, joy, hapiness and contentment. 

This will only work if you are willing to let Him change your heart and your cirmcumstances. Don't worry, He will deliver the answer to your prayers. Let the Holy Spirit in your heart guide you to the truth about who you are, and that is you are the beloved of God, and that He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Are you ill? Do you suffer from a lingering and ongoing issue? Praise God first for your victory, ask Him to lead you to a word of scripture that will comfort your heart. Be patient  and then stand on His word, declare your healing in His presence. Read God's word everyday for revelation and fulfillment.  Your time of healing is coming very soon...

Whatever your issue is, You should always speak to God to find our what He wants to do with this problem that will bring Him Glory and will strengthen your faith. He knows what you can handle, so don't be shy with Him, because He loves you and He doesn't care that you are not perfect, We were never to be perfect in this life. Our job is to be believe in God and his Son Jesus, and to be teachable, so that we would live our lives for the Lord Jesus's sake.

Love the Lord with all of your mind, heart, and soul to the Glory of Jesus's name!

A Poem About My Creator

 Romans Chapter 3:8

 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

The Love of the Lord is my strength

He gives me hope, He gives my joy

No one can take away my life in Him

Peace reigns in a grateful heart

Deliverance from evil is the key

We make out destiny with our thoughts and words

We have access to His love, and so we have access to great power

Wisdom comes from  experiencing the love of God,

His mercy has no boundaries

and His care for you will heal your soul

Do you have problems that never get solved?  Do you have fears and soul wounds?

Is there sickness in your body?

Speak to the Lord Jesus and surrender your problems, your wounds and your issues to Him, giving it all up to God is the key, experiential knowledge is the key

You will never truly believe until you experience it for yourself!

You ask, "How is this possible"? If is through the saving Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Confess your sins, repent of your transgressions, ask the Lord Jesus to come into your heart, and you will see it all for yourself!

Remember love comes into yuur life when you open your heart and invite it in, so don't forget to invite the Lord Jesus into your circumstances -  You Will Never Regret It...

Prayer Of Salvation

Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that Your Son, Jesus, died on the cross tor my sins. I  believe that  He rose from the dead so that  I can be justified and be made righteous through faith in Him. Jesus, come into my life right now, and I ask that you fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for saving me! Amen.

Jesus, Our Road To Salvation

 Psalm 105, Verse 4 

 

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek His face always

    

Our experiences shape who we are, and that is why we need to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Religion satisfies our human desire to believe that we can solve all our problems with rituals and good  deeds, but good deeds can never wipe away the guilt and the burdens in our hearts.

We need Jesus in our lives to make us better, and to learn how to love the way that God loves us. We cannot see people in the same way as God does unless He comes to live inside our hearts.

No one is better equipped to love you the way you have always desired to be loved like the one who created you. God knows you inside out, He is the one who made you the way that you are. You are unique, you are valuable, and you are loved by Father God.

You cannot help your weaknesses, it comes from being born with a sin nature, and we live in a fallen world, but the Lord still loves you. He has everything in mind for your life, He wants to give you His love and His perspective on life. God is love, and true love never hurts, dies, or fades away - it is eternal

God’s solution for a fallen world was to have His only Son, Jesus Christ, to come into the world to live among us, and to die upon a cross as a substitute for all of our sins. We cannot go back into the past and change what we have done, but we can give all of our problems, our lives, and our hopes to Jesus. His sacrifice was all that was needed to atone for all of our mistakes. We don't need to do anything else but to accept God’s precious and loving gift of salvation through His Son Jesus.

Are you willing to live for the Lord?  If you are willing, He will come and live inside of you, you just need to accept what He has been offering to you since the day you were born….repeat this prayer of salvation:

Dear Lord Jesus, I ask that you come into my life right now, I repent of all of my sins. Please come and live inside of me. Thank you Jesus for what you did for me, you died at calvary so that I would never have to face the penalty for all of my mistakes. I give my life freely to you and I make you my Lord and Savior, forever and ever….AMEN

Thank the Lord right now, for you are now saved, Welcome Into The Kingdom Of God - Hallelujah!

The Best Fate For Unbelievers

John Chapter 3:16-17

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 

God has a chance to save you if:

1.  You believe that there is a God, even though you do not have a relationship with Him. God cannot save a person who is unwilling to accept the truth about Him. People are aware that there are things going on in the earth that defy explanation, but many choose to ignore the signs of the times, or they choose to live for themselves, because that is their heart’s desire. Believing that there is a God is very different from serving God with all of your heart and soul, it does not mean that everyone will accept His gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.

2. You recognize the darkness in the world and in yourself. Self revelation is crucial to understanding why you need God in your heart to live a righteous life. Many people are blind to the evil influences in their daily lives.  They are confused about how to live righteously by God's standards and why it is wrong to pursue a worldly lifestyle. Some people love the darkness and they hate the light of truth being shined into their circumstances. They will reject anyone or anything that can show them why they need Jesus Chist to save them from their sins. 

3. You come to the point when you are disappointed with your life and you are tired of trying to do everything on your own. You are finally willing to try Jesus for yourself.  The devil tries to make life hard for everyone. Whether you are a believer or non believer, we all face the same trials and tribulations. The ones who know Jesus Christ for themselves find hope and peace even in the worst of circumstances because they know that they have someone who will fight their battles when they cannot do so on their own. We need the Lord to help us live every day with the confidence of His Grace and Mercy.

The Lord created you for Himself. You become a part of His family once you accept Jesus Christ into your heart. You must be willing to live for Him, and He will show you true love, mercy, and grace. You will never be disappointed about being His beloved child…

Do you need love, hope, peace, and joy in your life?  Then, please repeat out loud this Prayer of Salvation:

Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and surrender my life. Wash me clean. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That he died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day for my Victory, I believe that in my heart and make confession with my mouth, that Jesus is my Savior and Lord...AMEN

The Times of Revival

 Romans 13:11 (ESV)

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

I Heard This In My Spirit While I Was Waking Up From A Dream Recently:

'THERE ARE TORCHES IN THE SKY

THE REVIVAL BEGINS!'

Never Let Go Of Who You Are In Jesus Christ

 

Deuteronomy 31:8 

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

The Lord provides for everything that you need to survive in this world. We need to speak to God to access His power and authority, so prayer is necessary every day. Even if you do not know what to say, give Him thanks for everything that He has done, and then the words and the needs will flow from your heart.

Why should we never give up? That is the devil’s strategy, to deprive us of what we have inherited through the Blood of The Lamb. His sacrifice is what makes us eligible to receive His grace and every blessing. He wants to give it all to you, but you must stand on the word of God and exercise your faith.

Being a christian is not easy, so ask for the courage and the grace to make it through all of your days, He knows what you need. When you decide to give up, it is usually right at the last moment before your breakthrough. We may become impatient or frustrated, and sometimes we don't allow the Lord to use us so that His word will manifest in our lives.

 Frustration and anger is a victory to the devil, so give every negative emotion and fear to Him, because Jesus will give you back love, peace and joy in its place. Once you begin to feel God's grace and mercy in your life, you will never doubt His love for you again.

Why should you never give in? The devil is always trying to defeat you. He cannot take you to hell with him if you believe that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savoir, but he can tempt you to live your life with fear, anger, bitterness and strife.

Why is love so necessary in our lives? It is because it is the only thing that can stand against the darkness of this world. God is love, and when Jesus lives in your heart, you can accomplish all that He has in store for your life. You need to allow Him to live through you and when He asks you to take the first step, He will make sure that you are able to finish what you have started. No one will ever love you more than Jesus.

Never Give you, Never give in- Just place all your cares and worries upon the One who will love you forever and ever,,,Our Sweet Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Learning To Trust In The Lord

Psalm 17:9,13

Very bad men have attacked me. Enemies that want to kill me are all round me...

LORD, get up! Stand in front of them. Knock them down. Save me from wicked men by your sword...

 Do you feel that you're being attacked by someone who wants to be your enemy? The prey always knows when the predator is in the area stalking them. How can they tell? They have sensitive ears and they are always aware of who or what is around them. Be careful what you say and do around the people who are always looking to start a fight, because they delight in destroying other people’s lives.

The psalmist appeals to God for help, because he knows that he should allow the Lord to fight his battles. God’s solution is always the best solution. When God gives us the victory, all we need to do is to thank Him and to praise Him for His grace and mercy.

You may never understand why this person is trying to hurt you, but you should have compassion for him because you know that he will never win against the power and authority of our Lord and Savior. Jesus wants us to have His love and grace in our hearts towards other people, especially our enemies, because living this life in this world may be their only reward. They may believe that they have everything, but if they do not have Jesus Christ living inside their hearts, they actually have very little or nothing at all!

The Lord Jesus wants to show grace and mercy to those who have yet to seek Him with all of their hearts, but He will not tolerate the type of evil actions that destroys His people. If you are in a situation that is causing you pain and suffering, appeal to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him to heal your body. If He delays in giving you an answer, ask Him why this is being allowed into your life, and then ask for the strength and the courage to make it through till you get that answer or your victory.

If the answer is, "Trust Me”, then you know that you must wait patiently for the answer, and that there will be a victory. Praise Him now before you have been healed. Your enemies will be defeated, and you will receive those finances so that your bills will be paid. He will give you the desires of your heart according to His will for your life.

Be patient-Be kind-Love from your heart with the Love of the Lord-Praise Him in every circumstance, especially before you see the victory-Pray for His peace to give you the strength to endure…

Prayer of Delivery:

Lord God, I need you now, I don’t know how long I can endure this pain, this suffering. Please let me see your love and mercy. I seek healing for my heart and my body. I seek deliverance from my enemies, and I need you to help me with my finances, I need the resources to pay my bills and to live comfortably in my service to you. Thank you Lord now for the victory in my life.

In Jesus Name I Pray, AMEN

Walking In The Desert With The Lord

 Deuteronomy 2:7

For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He knows your going through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing…

Are you wandering through the desert right now? 

You heard from the Lord, you are sure that you did, but nothing in your life seems any different from the day that God called you to your work in life. You are wondering, why is there such a large delay in your development?

God has a plan for you, but it will take some time to develop your character and your heart. He wants the best for you, but He knows that you need your character to be stretched and that  your heart needs to be cleansed. Experience is always the best teacher.

Are you a bible reader? Have you noticed that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things?. God allowed His chosen people, the Hebrews to walk and live in the desert for 40 years before He allowed them to live in the promised land. The Lord guided  Moses into the desert to live there for 40 years before he led the Hebrews from their captivity in Egypt. Joseph became the second most powerful ruler in Egypt. Before he was elevated to that position, God gave Joseph a dream and a purpose for his life that was not fulfilled until many years later when he was able to do the job that God had impressed into his heart.. 

Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. He went to jail as an innocent person, convicted of a crime that he did not commit, and then one day his whole life changed. He became a powerful leader, second only to the Pharaoh in Egypt. It never says that Joseph became bitter for all of the trials and tribulations that he went through before God released him into his destiny. How did God keep Joseph from becoming a bitter man while dealing with all of his hardships?

When you follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit, the Lord will make a way out of no way for you. These years of development may be painful, and you may have days of longing for something else, but the Lord will never leave you or forsake you. Your happiness is important to God, but He has to put you through some times of hardship and testing to refine your character and to cleanse your heart and soul. God can do what we cannot do, we have no way of becoming better people without the Holy Spirit  living in our hearts.

It is Jesus living inside of us that guides our path. His love and compassion gives us the ability to live righteously in His presence. We will have peace and contentment in our hearts even in the worst of circumstances. 

How can you tell if a person is really a follower of Jesus Christ? Observe them when they are going through hard times. Do they insist on having their own way, or will they wait on the Lord for their deliverance?

Do they seem calm and even content in a situation that is destroying everyone else around them? Would you tell them about your own problems because you know that they will speak words of comfort to you and offer to pray with you?  You know you need someone who has been through some hard times and has survived it all. God will guide you to the right person to help you.

The secret is Jesus in your heart. Joseph had the Lord with him all of his life. He could not have been the great leader that was needed in that time and place if the Lord was not working through him. Moses became a great leader by living his life for God purposes. The Hebrews became the people of God, and their hardships in the desert taught them how to follow The Lord into the promised land to possess the land that was promised to them. You can become a true follower of Jesus Christ the day that you surrender your life to Him.

Is your life surrendered to Jesus Christ?  If not, you will never know the joy of living in His presence. If you have confessed Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you are being led into the wandering place to strengthen and develop your faith. God will never give you what you want until you are ready to receive it. 

Is there a desire in your heart that you know is not a part of God’s will for your life? You need to give him that desire, surrender it right now. The Lord knows what is best for you and for your family. He will never put you in a position where you will be destroyed by something that would destroy someone else. The people around you may never understand why you had to go through what you have been through, but your calling is not their calling, it is yours. Live for the Lord, and the Lord will live your life with you, and He will give you the best desires of your heart…

Prayer of Salvation - If you want Jesus to come into your heart, repeat this prayer:

Dear Jesus, I want to live for you. I repent of all of my sins and I surrender my life to you right now, please come into my heart. Thank you Lord Jesus for my salvation…AMEN
