THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT DEFINE US AS CHRISTIANS, OUR PATIENCE WHEN WE HAVE NOTHING, OUR ATTITUDE WHEN WE HAVE EVERYTHING.

WHEN WE ARE WAITING IN PATIENCE FOR GOD TO MOVE IN OUR LIFE OUR FAITH WILL GROW. 

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE THAT WE DEVELOP AS WE LEARN THAT GOD IS WORKING AND WE MUST WAIT FOR HIM TO MOVE.

JAMES 1 :2-4

MY BRETHREN, COUNT IT ALL JOY WHEN YOU FALL INTO VARIOUS TRIALS, KNOWING THAT THE TESTING OF YOUR FAITH PRODUCES PATIENCE.

BUT LET PATIENCE HAVE ITS PERFECT WORK, THAT YOU MAY BE PERFECT AND COMPLETE, LACKING NOTHING.

 SOME BELIEVERS HAVE A WAIT PROBLEM.  THEY GET ANXIOUS AND RUN AHEAD OF GOD. ONLY TO FIND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE, THAT GOD HAD A BETTER PLAN.


WHEN WE THINK WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE WANT IT CAN BE A DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE IN.

DEUTERONOMY 8: 7-14

FOR THE LORD GOD IS BRING YOU INTO A GOOD LAND, AND LAND OF BROOKS OF WATER, OF FOUNTAINS AND SPRINGS, THAT FLOW OUT OF THE VALLEY AND HILLS; 

A LAND OF WHEAT AND BARLEY, OF VINES AND FIG TREES AND POMEGRANATES, A LAND OF OLIVE OIL AND HONEY; 

A LAND IN WHICH YOU WILL EAT BREAD WITHOUT SCARCITY, IN WHICH YOU WILL LACK NOTHING; A LAND WHOSE STONES ARE IRON AND OUT OF WHOSE HILLS YOU CAN DIG COPPER.


WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN AND ARE FULL, THEN YOU SHALL BLESS THE LORD YOUR GOD FOR THE GOOD LAND WHICH HE HAS GIVEN YOU.

BEWARE THAT YOU DO NOT FORGET THE LORD YOUR GOD BY NOT KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS, HIS JUDGMENTS, AND HIS STATUTES, WHICH I COMMAND YOU TODAY, 

LEST WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN AND ARE FULL, AND HAVE BUILT BEAUTIFUL HOUSES AND DWELL IN THEM; AND WHEN YOUR HERDS AND YOUR FLOCKS MULTIPLY, YOUR SILVER AND YOUR GOLD ARE MULTIPLIED, AND ALL YOU HAVE IS MULTIPLIED;

WHEN YOUR HEART IS LIFTED UP, AND YOU FORGET THE LORD YOUR GOD WHO BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, FROM THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE.

BELOVED, WE ARE IN A SAFER PLACE WHEN WE DON'T HAVE ALL WE WANT, THEN WE HAVE TO TRUST GOD TO PROVIDE OUR NEEDS.

THIS WILL BUILD OUR FAITH, AND KEEP US HUMBLE. OUR HEART WILL NOT BE LIFTED UP.

BE PATIENT AND HUMBLE, NOT PROUD AND AND SELF RELIANT.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU READ ABOUT EGYPT, IT REPRESENTS THE WORLD.  GOD CALLED US OUT OF THE WORLD SYSTEM, AND PLACED US IN JESUS.

REMEMBER TO BLESS GOD AND PRAISE HIM AND WORSHIP HIM FOR ALL HE DOES FOR YOU, AND JUST FOR WHO HE IS, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR WHO LOVES US.

PHILIPPIANS 4:19

 AND MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS.

BELOVED, STAY HUMBLE AND NEEDY, OUR LORD WILL COME THROUGH FOR YOU, HE ALWAYS DOES, SOMETIMES AT THE LAST MINUTE, TO BUILD OUR FAITH, BUT HE WILL COME THROUGH.


GOD BLESS YOUR DAY

JESUS LOVES YOU

LOVE IN JESUS

 JOY

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

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, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
