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.
No more having to grope in the darkness. The light of The Lord Jesus has come your way. No more uncertainty of tomorrow. For In Christ there is security and a great future of peace. Yes, Jesus is the light of the world. Call upon Him while He may be found. Request that He reveal Himself to you. Prove these sayings to be true.
If you have never asked Jesus to come into your heart, do it now. He will abide with you and live in you for ever.
Romans 10:13 New International Version (NIV)
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
What happens when you split an atom? … The energy released in splitting just one atom is miniscule. However, when the nucleus is split under the right conditions, some stray neutrons are also released and these can then go on to split more atoms, releasing more energy and more neutrons, causing a chain reaction.
And so it is in the spirit. God designed the family of man; and most importantly, those who are born again, to be bound tightly together. The union of the church at large, or “the church universal”which are Christ’s own, are to make up a solid wall that no stray forces of the enemy can come through and cause a chain reaction unleashing destructive powers. Please, let’s learn this very vital lesson in our generations amongst the nations.
Matthew 12:25
25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

Lets talk about sounds now. What you hear is very important. What’s spoken that comes out of the heart makes the difference. Look at this example for a moment. If the sound of an ambulance siren was barely perceptible, as they increased there speed to get to the injured, they could themselves incur injury. But as the sirens deep resonating sound is heard, the drivers in the vehicles that are on the roads, are alerted. They begin to look around to see in which direction the ambulance is approaching. Then as they get a glimpse of the rescue vehicle, they move over an make room for the ambulance to pass safely as possible. When your Spirit is full of the word of God, it acts as a siren. When and an injurious situation looms ahead, faith resonates from deep within the heart. The mind hears what’s coming up loud and clear from on the inside. The mind looks in every direction, and moves to the side so that the spirit can navigate you safely to victory. Resonating from deep within, faith comes to the rescue.
Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
As the Light of the gospel shines brighter and brighter; (through those in the body of Christ who have pressed into God’s Love, ) millions are being impacted. Don’t look in the natural as you read these words. Look into this spirit of the word. You will see the longing for the light of truth developing across the earth. Men and women have come to the in of their rope so to speak, being alienated by those who have been misled by the wicked one. They are seeing clearly the cloud that’s surrounding those struggling in the darkness. Instead of loosing all hope, and sinking into despair, the light of the glorious gospel is clearing the air. Praise be to God! Love has shone it’s the light so that we could escape the destructive path of strife. Now to those that read and are in that dark category listen, you have a solace; a place of respite has been made. During this time, embrace God’s love; the light of Christ. Then you can break free of strife, that brings deceptions awful plight.
1 John 2:10
“He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
Have you ever watched men and women climb Mt Kilimanjaro? I have. I have watched the determination of those who seemed to be fearless. They’ve taken cameras on their headsets, and one can watch the trek as it progresses. In some of the sections, everyone appears jolly. Then other sections, a seriousness comes across the entire group, and with much carefulness, they progress. An interesting thing that I noticed, was that the guides would say from time to time, “Pole Pole” or “keep a slow pace.” This was because the air became thin the higher the elevation. As they reached the summit, it was not without arduous moments; there were many, but their victory was sweet! The Lord has often taken time to encourage me when viewing these treks. He said, keep moving forward; even if it’s “Pole Pole,” or at a slower pace. He encourages me to “rest a while; don’t quit, know others have gone before me, and I will be able to complete my race.” I’m thankful for His creative encouragement. You can take your time and slow down too if you must, but don’t quit. You will reach the summit soon. Then you can start on a new trek.
1 Cor. 4:3,4
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
