“Power in His Word!”
.
“One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. Oh How she praised and thanked God!”(Luke 13:10-13)
.
“One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight.” I am reminded of a time when I myself had come under attack. It started as a minor side ache and over a period of time built into suffering and discomfort that I had for about a week. Having not brought it fully to The Lord, I thought it was due to working at a desk over a period of time. One morning, a Sister in Christ who worked with me said she had a dream. In this dream she saw me having pain on he left side of my body and I was going into surgery. She looked into my face and knows that it was something I needed to rebuke in Jesus Name because it was an attack of the enemy. That night, I read Gods word and after an two hours of praise and worship unto him, I came to the point where I said to The Lord, “It is in your word that you said it would not come back void in Jesus Name I rebuke this attack!” It was with authority and power that this was done and instantly the pain went away. I have since felt it try to come back, but every time I speak the word and promises of the Lord and have be pain free ever since! Praise His Holy Name!
.
“When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised and thanked God!” I tell you, when The Lord comes and heals you, how the praises will flow from your mouth! For eighteen years this woman was under attack. Most people over a period of time just accept what is happening and that’s when the enemy wins. But I am here to tell you that God is calling for you to take authority in Jesus Name and rebuke what ever sickness and disease is coming against you! We are called to bind this attack at the root which is the enemy. Believe and be healed in Jesus Name! Do not accept the lies of the devil at any point! Power and authority is what the Lord is calling us to operate in. In Jesus Name, Rebuke all sicknesses and disease and any other attacks that the enemy will try to come against you with!

 “Through All Trails!”
.
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us-they help us learn to endure. And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” (Roman 5:3-5)
.
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us-they help us learn to endure.” I, like many people, come against many obstacles in this life. I used to get frustrated at the situation and it seemed like when I would conquer one trail then another would be placed right in front of me. But through every situation, there was a lesson to be learned, for trails help us endure and not only that, we are called to rejoice! This may sound foreign to most people, but God calls us to praise him through the storm! The reason why we do this is to build who we are in Christ, “And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation.” It is through trails that we are not weakened, but strengthen in the Lord and brought even closer to our salvation in Christ. For trails and tribulations aren’t meant to break you down; it is an opportunity for us to rejoice and praise God who delivering us!
.
“For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.” We are never alone in this battle. The Holy Spirit was promised to us from Jesus as one who would be with us always. I know sometimes we feel alone in this fight and we are suffering from day to day, but take heart! Seek The Holy Spirit to fill your heart with love, because when you have Love, you understand how much God really does cares for you through all trails and tribulations/

“Is Water Enough?”

“Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of Water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again.” The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”(John 3:5-8)

.

“Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of Water and the Spirit.” When speaking about John, Jesus said that he was the greatest man ever born from a woman. This by any means is a great honor for anyone to have bestowed upon them, But Jesus also said that John was the least of men who would come after him. So, you may ask how does someone who is the greatest of men ever born and then consider the least after him? For John Baptized by water for the forgiveness of sins, but Jesus; whose scandals John was not even fit to tie, came to baptize us in the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that is much greater than the water baptism. As for John, he was considered the least of men because he died prior to receiving that promise from Jesus. “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit.” It is only by the Spirit that you will receive the Baptism of the Spirit.
.
“You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again.” The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” Understand, to be truly born again, you must be baptizing in the Holy Spirit. There is truth and revelation that man can not receive unless he has been born again. Let’s not limit our thinking to believe that water is enough. If forgiveness of sins was all that we needed, then John would have been to the greatest of all men, but even he know that Jesus would come with another baptism. The light shall open your pathway to a greater understanding of God’s Word.

“Beyond Death”
“If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.” (Revelations 13:10)
.
I see we have two ways we can enter death. One being by the ways of the natural world, as such they call it a natural death by sickness and disease or a super natural death; by sword or crucifixion. I know this may not be a daily thought to most Christians, but lets us not believe these two options do not exist. “This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.” Not everyone will experience this kind of Death, but praise the Lord to those who are chosen and carry this mantle. Many may question to why I speak of these things, not to inflict fear of Death, but to the greater reality of the Fear of God. We owe nothing to the world that was brought by the Blood of Christ and by these things we must live with an understanding of the price that was paid. Death is a day of redemption. For our mortal bodies are from earth and the day of our Death, the earth shall reclaim the dust that we were made of. But in the balance of that, we are left with our spirit.
.
Many will have a fear of death of flesh, but rarely take this stance on their eternal soul. For by the flesh we are here in a mere blink of an eye, for this is just preparation of what’s to come. So much knowledge and so little understanding of the things of God and we must not by ignorant of what has been told. There will come a day when things that men held as foolish will confound the wise, and then the wise who were all knowing will find their wisdom as foolishness. Let us take up the wisdom of Christ who openly offers to all and see beyond the Death of the flesh, to the eternity of the Spirit.

“When you Feel Like Giving Up!”.

“Then he went on alone into the desert, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree.” (1 Kings 19:4-5).

“I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life…”  Are you tired? Oh, if someone told you the trials and tribulations that you have to face when accepting Christ into your life, would you have ran away into the desert? Even today, I speak to many Christians who feel beat up. They have been so faithful for some long that sometimes they long to bypass living in this world and long to worship Our Father in Heaven. Some long to be just like Elijah and ask that the Lord take the Breath away from them.
.
But what did the Lord do? He sent an Angel to Feed Elijah. Why didn’t God let Elijah die as he requested, because God has a greater plan than death. For the Lord let Elijah rest, but soon the Father Call him to the mountain to see His Glory. Beloved, I know there are many of us at different stages in our life. So many Christians today feel like they are dead to God and His purpose for their life, but I tell you this, you are not dead, but sleeping underneath the broom tree! If it was Gods will for you to die, you would be dead, But God has kept you and sustains you even through all your circumstances.
.
“And he did deliver us from Death and will continue to deliver us.” (2 Corinthians 1:10) God will never forsake you. He has delivered you from death and he will continue to deliver you. Elijah lay under the tree and asked to die, but God did not take his life, he sustained it. Never give up! God is calling that in this time of Pressure and in this time of need, we should be broken and down on our knees in Prayer.
.
“While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could deliver him out of death. And God heard his prayers because of his reverence for God. So even though Jesus was God’s Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.” (Hebrew 5:7-8)
.
“With a Loud cry and tears…Jesus was God’s Son; he learned obedience from the things he suffered.” Even the Jesus Cried and Suffered, how much more do we suffer? It is by loud cries and tears that the Lord answers our prayers and pleading. If you are feeling the pressure to give up, cry out to Jesus. Cry out to our Father in Heaven to send his Angel to be by your side. Elijah thought he was running away from the Father in the Desert to die, but what he didn’t realize that he was running into the arms of the Lord. Even when you are feeling the pressure to give up, know that the Lord is not ready for you to give in. Believe, Believe, Believe! Rise up, for the Lord your God’s purpose for your Life and it was not death, but and eternity with Our Father in Heaven!

“Through it All, Love!”

“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud  or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.  It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.  Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).

 “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud  or rude. Love does not demand its own way.” I know many people are familiar with this scripture about Love. Even as you read over it, most believer feel this is a standard of Love that is only met by God and with this thought do not heed what the scripture is stating. I have found with the Word of the Lord isn’t a suggestion, it is direction. In this verse, God is stating the guidelines of Love which is universal to all Believers. I used to fall into the trap of reacting one way when I was around other Christians and a different way when I was around none believers. For example, if I was in the church parking lot and someone cut me off, I would smile, wave and say God Bless you and not think twice about it. But, If I were on the freeway and someone did the same thing, I would honk my horn in a sign of frustration. “Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.” I have committed certain daily prayers in my lie, one being that I walk in the fullness of Christ from day to day. I know this is a huge undertaking, but it is a standard of living that is second to none, for Christ came to be the perfect example in the flesh. I may have to fight day to day to walk in this kind of Love, but this is my sincere commitment to Christ.
.
“Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” Let Love reign over you today. Over faith, over Hope; even Paul said that Love is the greatest of them all, because it endures every circumstance. I don’t care what situation you are facing today, because the Word of the Lord says when you walk in Love, you can endure and overcome whatever comes against you. In this world, all we have is the Word of the Lord and His Word is Love.

“Chosen By Grace”
.
“Lord They have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left and they are trying to kill me! And what was God’s answer to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal. So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by Grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were by works, Grace would no longer be Grace.” (Romans 11:3-6)
.
“Lord They have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left and they are trying to kill me!” Everyday we are called to face some situation in which the enemy is trying to receive victory in our life. It can be as simple as waking in the morning to go to work or sending doubt your way about the things the Lord has promised you. Even through all this, we are quick to look outside ourselves at the people around us, to judge our situation. Especially those who we feel will aren’t doing the things of the Lord. Even though we are enduring a lot, it just seems like the body isn’t doing all that it can. “And what was God’s answer to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” See, this is what so awesome about God; Even through all turmoil that we see around us, he has unseen people Chosen to do His Will. So what does that mean for us?  “So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by Grace.” And all God’s People say Amen! We should rejoice in the fact that it was by Grace that saved us and not by works!
.
“And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were by works, Grace would no longer be Grace.” And this is what it means that God’s Grace is sufficient for our Lives. For it was not for Grace, we would be never be redeemed in the Lord. This is why Jesus came and was among those who were viewed as outsider, outcast and just forgot. He brings a Message of Hope, because it is not by works that we receive this salvation. Believe today in God’s Chosen Grace, for when you do, your life will never be the same.

“Spirit of Life!”

“Therefore, Brothers, we have an Obligation- But it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, Abba, Father.”(Romans 8:12-15)

“Therefore, Brothers, we have an Obligation- But it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.” I know for many, coming into the life of Christ is not only a mental adjustment, but a physical one to. I know for myself, I lived life by my flesh. If I felt I needed something dearly, I went out and brought it. But when you come into Christ, you find that there is a struggle for what the flesh wants and what the Spirit wants. A common example of this is simply reading the Word of the Lord daily. Some, may plan to read the bible ten minutes a day, but when morning comes around you find you are to busy or that you feel tired or just do not have time. Where the Spirit craves to receive, the flesh simply finds a way out. “For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” We are called to be led by the Spirit of the Lord. Living a life by the flesh or sinful nature only brings death. We have life in Christ Jesus and not only that we are sons and daughters of the most High God!
.

“And by him we cry, Abba, Father.” Some may wonder by whom that we cry Abba or Father? It is the same Spirit that leads us into all truth and life. It is by him the Holy Spirit that we call upon God as our Father.

“The first Miracle, Jesus Power Over The Laws of Nature”
 
“ When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.”  His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”(John 2:3-10)
 
Gods’ faithfulness has brought us into a new year and a new season, for we should count ourselves among the ones who he does love. For such a time as this, He has appointed and anointed a generation to work signs in his name beyond our imagination. With this being a new year and the appointment given unto me, I have committed my life to writing what the Lord says unto me to the world. There is power in the Name of Jesus and say this not for lip service, but the manifestation that follows.
 
“Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.” Before I get into this, I am going to say something, I was praying one night and the Lord spoke to me. God said, “A thousand Pauls’ could never replace one Jesus.” So much in one statement, my mind could not open fathom the deep upon deep in which was spoken to me. We have had many great men and women in the bible to call forth as leaders, but Jesus came to show us the way.
 
We are called to follow Christ, thus we are called Christians. If the Model is Jesus, then lets Jesus be our guide. Many People have many interruption of the Word of the Lord. But when I read that Jesus turn waters chemical make up into another substance, I can no longer claim ignorance of the fact. I have only two decisions before me, Believe that I shall follow His steps or say not I Lord.
 

Point Blank, I have chosen to follow. I have chosen to believe that when Jesus said there will be those who will come after him that will do greater and we must take this stance if we are to believe we are those called to do greater works than turning water into wine. The Lord is calling out those who have are called to work these Miracles. I am unashamed in what the Lord has spoken and will continue to post the Power of Jesus. Now is the time to rise and come out of the desert.

Day 11 Hebrews 13:8

“Jesus Christ, Never Changing!”
.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”(Hebrews 13:8)
.
For too long we have been human’s living a Spiritual experience instead of Spirit’s living through a human experience.  Many have argued that Jesus did miracles only for the moments of His earthly Ministry. But in His final Hours before He was Hung upon the Cross, Jesus prayed, “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be ONE, Father, just as you are in me and I AM in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be ONE as we are ONE…(John 17: 20-22)”
.
Just as the Father was in Jesus, Jesus says we are in him. We need to wake up to the understanding that by Him all things are possible! In God’s Word it says He is the same as He has been for eternity. The same power and Authority that He carried in His ministry has been passed on through generation to generation by His Spirit. “I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be ONE as we are ONE…” God is calling for you today to become ONE with him.  I was deep in Prayer and the Lord spoke to my about this generation. He said the problem isn’t Abortions, Adultery, Debauchery, Masturbation, Lust, Gluttony, sloth, Pride or even Envy; it’s Love and the Faith to Believe! People are dying and it is because they truly don’t feel or know the true Love of the Lord. We are living in a time where people can married and then walk away from a marriage with no fear or consequence. People will go to Church and fall in Love with a message on Sunday and be ONE with the Lord, then divorce him on Monday.  Instead of addressing this issue, we try and fight the fruits, when we need to be destroying these things at the root.
.

God wants more than the next great crusade. God wants more than the next great youth conference. He wants a movement of Praise, Prayer and Fasting from a generation that He has called to Be ONE with Him! I declared today that you stop living a life as a Human. Break away from the flesh that is holding you back from becoming ONE with the Father. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” I pray you get a vision on a True Love that is never changing.
