JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, and the like; of wh

WE ARE SAVED AND LIVING BY GOD'S GRACE FOR A REASON.

Beloved, we were not saved to sit in a pew, hear a quick message and a few songs, and shake hands and leave like we came.   There should be a change. Something that we needed to hear from God's word. For it is Spirit and life. Acts 1:6-8 Therefore when they had all come together, they asked Him, saying "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to them,  "It is not for you to know times and seasons which your Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. It is obvious that we were saved for a purpose. We are to be witnesses for Jesus. There is an old song we use to sing.  "You won't leave here as you came, bound oppressed, tormented sick or lame. For the Holy Spirit is still the same, you won't leave here like you came in Jesus name.  Have you ever thought that when we gather together w

SHARING THE LOVE OF JESUS WITH THE OUTSIDERS.

Having an ear to listen to the outsider or unsaved, is very important.     It will reveal to you how you should pray for them, and knowing the right words to speak to them. Colossians 4:5-6 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.  Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. Always put yourself in the other persons place and have a heart of love for them. Your goal is to share Jesus, and His love for them. John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but the the world through Him might be saved. We are to share all the goodness of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Share God's love. Not your political opinion, nor your opinion of the different denominations. Nor all that is going on in the world. Just share Jesus

THE BEAUTY OF SPRING TIME.

As we watch the trees turn green again, and watch the birds looking for a place to nest, we are reminded of the beauty in life that God has provided for us. Song of Solomon 2:11-12 For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.  The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in the land. There is a time when all the plants look dead. As the season changes, new life will appear. Just like those old dead things in our life.  When we have allowed bitterness and discouragement to set in and take root.  BUT GOD!! Those old dead things will be pruned away and beautiful new growth will take it's place. The Holy Spirit will convict us of our righteousness in Jesus. This places hope back into our heart. Nothing is hopeless when you are in Jesus Christ. Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Proverbs 23:18 For surely there

JESUS SAID" TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME.

  Jesus is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle. One that is looking for Him. Remember to remove wrinkles, it will take a hot iron. The fire of the Holy Spirit can and will iron out all our wrinkles. The blood of Jesus will remove every spot, when we die to self, then we can claim resurrection life.  Death first, then new resurrected life. Jesus has provided it all for us, He wants to bless us with every spiritual blessing. He longs to fulfill all His promises.  Our obedience is the road to some of those promises. Some promises are unconditional, while other are conditional.  Hebrews 10:36 (Conditional) For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. Hebrews 13:5 (Unconditional) Let your conduct be without covetousness;  be content with such things as you have.  For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Do you want to see all God's promises become a reality in your life?  There ar

THAT LITTLE MEMBER THAT IS IN OUR BODY, THE TONGUE, HAS GREAT POWER TO BLESS OR CURSE.

That tongue of ours, can effect our health, wound hearts, and cause divisions. When we say something demeaning  to cause division, we set trouble in motion. Proverbs 21:23 Whoever guards his mouth and tongue,  keeps his soul from troubles. James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.  The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire by hell. When we speak the word of God into a situation, Our brain will recognize its creators word and will respond. God's word carries power. Our brain will respond to good words that are spoken, or negative words that are spoken. James 3:8-10 But no man can tame the tongue.  It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.  With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men. Beloved, only the Holy Spirit can tame the tongue. Luke 1:20 (Zacharias in the temple) But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, b

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LEADING US TO THE PLACE OF DIVINE FAVOR.

The place of provision, protection, and blessing.   Psalm 5:12 You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;  With favor You will surround him as a shield. Beloved, thank the Lord for His divine favor wherever you go.   Thank Him for direction that will lead you to the place of favor. Favor means: to give freely, to bestow grace upon. I have had this happen so many times in my life. Even yesterday as I prayed for direction and favor. The trim around my windows on my car came off, my car is over 20 years old, so things happen. I heard in my spirit to take it to an auto shop that I have used for years. The guys there did not know how to fix it.  However they directed me to the ones who could fix it.   Following the lead of the Spirit, lead me to the place of favor. Not only did the other place fix the one trim that came off, but he also fixed the trim on the other side that was starting to come loose. That place didn't charge me a dime.  God's favor.  I had something to bless them with,
