Our heart overflows with Thankfulness. Were so glad you didn’t leave us alone. You came down and rescued us from an evil dominion and throne. Because your Son did not regard the cost, all who will can be saved, not lost. In this Thanksgiving Season we will bow are heads in gratitude, and live our lives to honor you
Ohh thank God! We never have to be deceived. God has given us a sure fire way to find out exactly what’s in a person’s heart. This is such good news. You see where partnerships & relationships and even friendships are concerned, never forget this rule:
A man’s heart stands in his mouth.
Listen to them talk under pressure, what’s done in there will come up to the surface. In doing this you can be warned.
God grant you mercy to hear their heart.
Matthew 12:34b 34 ..For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
A Remedy
If You’ve made Mistakes, don’t bail, God will guide you through the gale. He will navigate you and your associates to safety.
Psalm 91:15 (ASV) He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.
My dear brothers and sisters I love you dearly as you know, but listen to this admonition please. It will save you much loss. As long as the devil can keep you in the Arena of reason he will whip you in every combat and every battle.
But if you will hold him in the arena of faith, you will defeat him in every combat and every battle.
You can never rise above the level of your confession.
The moment you say that you can’t, doubt will rise up like a giant and bind you.
But if you set your sights on what God says you are, ( and hold it there, not letting go in the contradicting circumstances of life.) You will rise to the level of what God has already said about you.
If your in a area of hesitation, unsure, unsettled, skepticism, then the devil will knock you over.
Determine to have a bulldog tenacity where the word of God is concerned. Take each promise literally, putting it into your heart, day after day night after night speaking that word down into your heart like he told Joshua knowing this:
The eyes of the Lord run to and fro, throughout the whole earth to show himself strong on the behalf of those who heart is perfect toward him. 2 Chronicles 16:9
So when Satan challenges the message of healing, the message of deliverance, the message of God’s provision in your life. You use up and meet the devil with “ it is written “ and run him off your property, out of your flesh, out of your relationships.
The Bible says submit yourself therefore unto God, (you do that by submitting to his word) resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
Flee means to run from as in terror. This makes you dangerous where he is concerned, so definitely stay with it so you can defeat him continually.
As your growing and maturing in the things of the Lord, a greater sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s direction is needed as well. For He will maneuver you around in a safer manner. For it is the intent of the Lord that you live a long and satisfied life Psalms 91:16, Eph. 6:1-3. Seek to grow in such away, that the Holy Spirit can lead in a whisper, then you will move about in ways of “Grace,” ( His wisdom on your life.) and continue a long and protected race.
Acts 22:17-21
17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; 18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. 19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: 20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. 21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
Mark 3:6,7
6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, 8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
A catchy cliché spoken by those attempting to spark the creativity in marketing and advertising agents. It’s been spoken by parents sending there children to college. Teachers have been known to use this phrase. I want to get your attention to the most influential person that ever walked the earth. The one who is the author and finisher of our faith. That Great Shepard and Bishop of our souls. Jesus is sitting in the wings cheering you on. Encouraging you to put your best foot forward. He leads a great cloud of witnesses that were dramatically impacted by His arousal to do their best. We have their testimonies written in cannon of scripture. Jesus is saying, “It’s your time, step out in faith with me. Let’s walk on the water together. Focus on what I’ve set before you”
Hebrew 12:1
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the authora and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God
There is what is called a two factor identification used in accessing certain accounts. You can’t have one without the other and gain access. It’s a double lock-Up, for double protection. That’s doubly good for those who have sensitive information regarding their identity and keeping it safe. Accessing the best that God has for us also has two factors involved. Being willing and being obedient opens wide the coffers of heaven, letting us into the rich treasure, first of all of understanding, then of blessings. Thank God we have access by faith into this grace in which we are enabled to stand. That grace showers down on us the strength to persevere with a willing and obedient heart. Thus making it easier and lovelier. Thanks be to our Lord and Savior Jesus who is the Christ.
Isaiah 1:19-20
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Entering into the fullness of all that God has, is the only way to live in this life filled with joy and great satisfaction. But this includes following all that Jesus commands.
John said in Matthew 3:22: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.
He was speaking of what Jesus would do for his own.
John 20:22 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost, (for that’s where they were sealed with the Holy Spirit {John 20:22}) He gave them this commandment.
Don’t leave on your assignment until the promise of the Spirit come unto you.
(Luke 24:49 And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.).
Then, when Jesus commissioned his Apostle to go out into all the world, he told them that these signs will follow them that believe what they preach.
Mark 16: 17,18 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Brothers and Sisters that’s you and me! Since your a believer, enter into the fullness of what he sent His Holy Spirit into the world to give you. Let’s receive power from on high by following the command of the Lord.
Acts8:14-17
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
”Looks like every time I get a chance to get still, I feel like I need to come back to the Lord. But when I moved away, I got so far out. Are you sure you want me to come back? All this water that’s gone under the bridge. All the things I’m bound up with. I just got through smoking this… But if you still want me, Lord, I will return. God, I’m sorry for all the mess. Jesus I except your call on my life.”
If you can remotely identify with the said testimony above, then God is extending to you His open arms of Love. Come home to him, God has a ring for your finger, he has a well prepared meal, He bringing out the robe of righteousness you soul and body he will heal. Come on home.
Luke 15: 20-23
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
The soul comprises the mind, the will, and the emotions, and has it’s connections with your body or “flesh.” Your heart, which is called “your spirit” is actually the real you. It’s the power house or production center of your life. The word of God is spirit, it’s designed to go past your soul and link up with your spirit, or as Was said, your heart. When the spirit of God’s word gets down into your spirit or heart, it will control your soul. Then your soul, won’t fight against what you know to be true.
How can I get the spirit of God’s word to get pass my mind, my will and my emotions and down into my spirit or my heart? Total immersion is the only way. This is how you renew your mind. That’s why it’s called a transformation. I wish I could say it was simpler than this, but it’s not. It takes everything that you are to become everything God designed you to be.
Romans 12:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
