Day 6 John 14:15-17

“Truth Shall Set you Free!”

“”If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor,* who will never leave you.  He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth.”(John 14:15-17)

“If you love me, obey my commandments.” For everyone who does not know the commandments that Jesus left; “you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. The second is equally important: `Love your neighbor as yourself.”(Mark 12:30:31) and “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”(Matthew 28:19) These are the greatest of the commands that Christ left to us to follow. But, Jesus knew that for us to accomplish these great things, we could not do it alone. Even though he was going to ascend to heaven, he promised to send another who would help us in completing these commandments. “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, who will never leave you.” With this, Our Hearts should rejoice! For not only did Jesus leave us a great counselor to work wonders in this world, but he being the Holy Spirit, will be with us and will never leave! Beloved, I believe in the Word of the Lord. I have heard people and pastor speak of foolish things about the Holy Spirit. How only some may have access to him or that it was only for the disciples to receive. I am one who truly believes that it is by your Faith that you shall receive and if you limit the Word of the Lord, how much more so will you limit the workings of God in your Life?
.
“He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth.” We live in a time where truth is promised every where we turn. Everyone has the magic answer to cure all the pains or end all your sufferings. I lean not to any of these understandings and not even my own, but the Word of the Lord. Jesus said that it through the Holy Spirit that leads into all truth. There is no great secret, the Word of the Lord is tells us where truth shall be found. Believe and Receive the Holy Spirit, because Jesus himself said that the truth shall set you free.

Day 5 Matthew 21:28-30

“A Time to Serve!”
.
A man with two sons told the older boy, `Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ The son answered, `No, I won’t go,’ but later he changed his mind and went anyway. Then the father told the other son, `You go,’ and he said, `Yes, sir, I will.’ But he didn’t go. Which of the two was obeying his father?” (Matthew 21:28-30 NLT)
.
Awhile back, I was speaking to a man who was having issues with his Spiritual Life. For many years, He felt like he would answer the altar call and run up to the Preacher to be prayed over that he may answer the Calling of the Lord, only to fall back into the same sinful life during the week and Finding himself the Following Sunday at the same altar Call. He was at his wits end believing for a time that maybe the Call of God was not in him.
.
Beloved, He has not forsaken you. I know there are many today who have this same issue. I know for years I struggle with the same Life Style of living what we call a Double Standard Life; living a life of sin on Saturday and being saved on Sunday. As you have read here in Matthew, the Father asked the older son if he would go work in the Vineyard and he said No. How many times did God Call you to work in the Harvest for him and even though you said yes, your actions said no.
.
Understand this, Even though the older Son said No, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to work in the Fathers Vineyard, but he actually thought about the cost and the commitment it would take for him to get the Job Done and finally changed his answer to yes and work in the Vineyard! As we read on, what happened to the younger son that said yes? He made the decision in the moment and didn’t do the Fathers Will. Which Son do you think the Father favored? The One that weighed the cost and when the time was right worked in the Fathers Vineyard.
.

Brothers and Sisters of the Faith, we must understand that this is your walk with Christ. Jesus himself said that we are called at different times to work in his Field, but paid the same wages. If you read further in Matthews 21:31 Jesus says, “I assure you, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do. I know many of us struggle and God knows this. You may not be living a life of a prostitute; But Jesus was trying to make a point. Even though you struggle with sin, keep the Word of the Lord in your Heart. We are all called to do the Will of the Lord. We all have a Calling and Destiny. Maybe you have been saying no your whole life, but you still have the chance to say yes and work in the Fathers Vineyard.

Day 4

“Asleep, Not Dead.”
.
So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, “Lord, the one you love is very sick.” But when Jesus heard about it he said, “Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God. I, the Son of God, will receive glory from this.” Although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, he stayed where he was for the next two days and did not go to them. Finally after two days, he said to his disciples, “Let’s go to Judea again.” (John 11:3-7 NLT)
.

Lord, the ones you Love are very sick. I want to pray for everyone who has accepted our Lord Jesus Christ into their Heart, Mind, Body and Soul. For there was a time that we all needed to be healed and cried out to the Lord. Our Prayers are like Messages up to Heaven. Our Father listens to our cries and just like here in John, Jesus says that our sickness will not end in Death and God will Receive Glory from this.

,

I know that God answers Prayers. For years I had a friend who struggled with drinking, partying and drugs. He was apart of that scene for such a long time and really saw no way out. I kept assuring him that God was ready to show his Glory in his Life, but he needed to be ready to believe. When Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, did he go straight to Judea? No, He waited two days and then he went. Why wait two days, when he knew that Lazarus was sick and needed to be healed right then?

,

But don’t we all face this situation? My friend needed to be saved from his life style and there were many times when I was on my last dollar that I needed the Lord to come to me in the moment. It is a time like these that we feel that the Lord is not by our side, but we must understand that the Lord knows everything and his Will is made complete. As we read on, Jesus says, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up. (John 11:11)

.

Thank you Jesus! For I once was Blind Now I can see! I once was dead, but The Lord says I was Just asleep! Don’t you know that Lazarus was in the grave for four days!? And when Jesus came, he resurrected him and brought forth life! Beloved I don’t care what your situation looks like; Drugs, Alcohol, Sexual immorality and any addiction. I tell you the Truth; you are not dead to the Most High God! If Jesus can rise a man from Death, he came rise you out of your situation. It was for Gods Glory that Jesus Brought Lazarus back to Life and if you believe this Day, I tell you that if you seek to be an example of Gods Glory, he will rise you out of your situation today!

.

Just like Jesus waited until the Fourth Day to Rise Lazarus, He is looking for others who are viewed as dead to the World to rise up for Gods Glory! Let us not ever believe the Lost are dead, because they are the ones that Jesus is looking for. Have a renewing of Faith Today knowing that God is glorified when you are rised and resurrected from your old self. Rejoice, for the world is not dead in Jesus Name, But sleeping and the Lord is coming to Wake the World up!

Day 3 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

“Life in Christ!”

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and quit.  We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
.
“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken.” I know for many of us, this statement truly hits to the heart of us. I may not know exactly what you are going through in this hour or season, but for those who seek to be righteous for the Lord, there is always some form of trouble that is coming at you from every direction. Even when we feel like we have been crushed or defeated, our Faith is always reaffirmed in God. I know many times we get tired and feel like we are not living up to the standards of the Lord, but do not lose heart, because the Lord knows our sincere motives to serve Him. “We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and quit.” It is so easy to give up. The devil is constantly putting obstacles in your way to tell you that you can’t live this life for Christ or that it is impossible to fully obtain the Vision God put on your Heart. If we gave in every time the enemy told us we could not accomplish something, we would have failed years ago.
.
“We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going.” This is the Life that we have chosen. The day you accepted Jesus as your Lord and savior in your life, you chose a side against evil. We have a real enemy and for those who do not know, we are always in spiritual warfare. There is nothing fair about what goes on in life, but with the strength of the Lord, we can make a change for the better. No where in the bible does it says that this walk would be easy, but the race is worth the prize. We may stumble, Fall or even get knocked down, but Jesus is always there with his hand ready to pick us back up again.

Day 2 Colossians 3:12-14

Clothed in Love

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love which binds them all together in perfect unity.” (Colossians 3:12-14)

“Therefore, as God’s Chosen people…” by this line alone we are called to rejoice. For we were once an enemy to the Lord; but by the Blood of Jesus, we have became God’s Chosen. As God’s Chosen, we are called to be Clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness humility, gentleness and patience. Now, I many will read this and go along with your day, but there is a deeper meaning the Lord wants you to understand. What does it mean when you “Clothe” yourself? Well it is just the same as when you get up in the morning to dress for work. It is one thing to forget your belt or even your wallet in morning; but to show up to your job without any clothing on, would be just crazy! But this is the point Paul was trying to get across. Everyday, before we leave the house, we should clothe ourselves with the righteous qualities of the Lord. God wants us clothe with these qualities for a very important reason.
 
“Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love which binds them all together in perfect unity.” We are all called to forgive, because you have been forgiven. Forgiveness of the Heart only comes when you are clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. But Paul says, “Over all these virtues put on love which binds them all together in perfect unity.” Beloved, let Love be the standard of the Day. Every morning you wake, my prayers be that you are Clothe in all these virtues and that forgiveness is in your Heart. With all these things together, you will find that you are in perfect unity with the Will of the Lord. Clothe yourself in Love and watch the Peace of Christ reign in your life today.

Day 1 John 19:30

“The Power of The Cross”
“When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”. John 19:30
The Power of the Cross is the Center of Our Message to the world. The foolishness that a God who knew no beginning or end would manifest himself into Flesh for our sake can never be truly understood. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice so that we may be obedient to His ways. I thank the Lord that he Bore all my sin and made himself an offering so that I may taste eternity and forgiveness. We were made in God’s image and that is something the world will always try and take away from you. All hell seeks to destroy everyone up to the Cross, but when they come to that place where Jesus Bleed was spilled, they find they cannot cross over into the place our Father has for us. That is why we say these things, through Christ, Jesus is the only way to Heaven. If there was any other way, Satan would enter in. Jesus Conquered Satan and bound the strong man so he could no longer keep us bound to the gates of hell.
.
Lord put it in my heart that no Man could ever understand freedom until he receives this Cross centered message. We must understand that Jehovah stand outside of Time and Space that makes up our existence. It is through the Cross that we enter into a place where Our Lord Dwells. We Plead the Blood not only to cleanse, but to enter into the Place where the Holy of Holies shall dwell. We preach forgiveness, because only but then shall we be cleanse of sin. From this day forth, I shall preach the Cross and the promises for this Generation in Jesus Name!
