Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Favor, blesses is the Man that Loves the Lord! I Thank The Lord for Faithfulness, for The Faithful shall see the Blessings of The Father! I Thank the Lord for unforeseen Circumstances, For His Glory shall come as a sweet surprise!

 

It is written, “Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.” Hebrews 3:1-9

 

Prayer: Father, you are most real than life itself! I pray in Jesus Name that the minds of Men are moved from the natural to the super natural!

Day 60 Hebrews 3:12-14

It is written,“Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. You must encourage each other every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.” (Hebrews 3:12-14)
.
“Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.” I remember speaking to a gentleman who told me that he had lost his Faith. He felt that the sin’s he had committed in the past were too great for God to forgive him of. In buying into this belief, he stop serving the Lord altogether and lived a life believing that he could never serve the Lord. “Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters make sure your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving….” By understand this passage; we can see how someone can buy into the lie of not being unforgiving by the Lord. I know many who have prayed for the forgiveness of the Lord, but their Heart condition is so filled with unbelief that they did not change their sinful ways.
.
We must understand that unforgiveness doesn’t come from the Lord, but from our own heart condition. If our hearts were filled with Faith and Joy, we would live a life a victory, but evil things hold us back from the blessings of the Lord. “Choose you today who you will serve.” Who are you going to live for today? We have a choice of standing on what God has professed in our life or living a life of sin. In the case of this gentleman, he was living a life in a backslid state for so long, that his disobedience became a life style. People live a life of sin for so long, they start believing that is who they are, but rejoice, because Jesus came to set us free of these things!
.
“You must encourage each other every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.” As we read, we must encourage each other everyday, so that none of us will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. Just like the gentlemen who I talked to, he was so deceived by his sin, he was hardened against God. He believed that God could not forgive him and cleanse him of his past, because he was not encouraged of the Promise of the Lord today. “You must encourage each other every day, as long as it is called “today.” We are all called to encourage each other everyday. If we truly love each other like the Father in Heaven, then we are called to Love and encourage each other as long a sit is called “today.” I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of one day that I wake up that wasn’t called today! This isn’t a misprint; God was making a point with his Word. Everyday is called today and we are called to encourage one another so that known of us are hardened by sin. Act of the Word of the Lord, Believe in the saving power of his Word and let today be the day where you go out and encourage others in the saving power of the Lord!

Day 53 Hebrews 11:5-6

“It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying-“suddenly he disappeared because God took him.” But before he was taken up, he was approved as pleasing to God. So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”(Hebrews 11:5-6)
.
“It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying-“suddenly he disappeared because God took him.” When I read this, I think Enoch was a Man of God who walked with more than a Mustard Seed of Faith! Can you image one Sunday your pastor getting up in front of the Congregation and preaching the Word of the Lord and then telling the Church that God was going to take him up to Heaven? Think about it, every Sunday service, after he delivers the Word, he tells his congregation that he will soon depart from you until that one Faithful Day the chariot of Fire comes among you and he is gone. I am not talking about Enoch now, but Elijah who was another Man of God who did not taste Death. But how is this possible? It was Faith in the Power of God that these men lived such righteous lives that they were taken up. “But before he was taken up, he was approved as pleasing to God. So, you see, “it is impossible to please God without Faith.” Never lose your Faith! Always remember your tongue has the power of Life and Death.
.
I have had many people contact me and tell me that they are losing their Faith, or lost their Faith. I have said before how news like this deeply saddens me even more than persons who has passed away. With Faith, all things are possible! But without Faith, you can not be pleasing in the sight of the Lord. You are not your flesh and the sins that may come forth. You must have Faith and believe that God has better plans for your life. Beloved, stop looking at the natural and the world around you to receive validation of God’s purpose in your life! I know it is hard, but if you live by the standards of the world, you will die by them. God purpose for you is ever present. I know many of you are struggle in your own Faith in what God is Calling you to do, but just don’t give up. I heard it said once by a Pastor that he rather have 10 percent of the full vision 10 percent of the full vision. There is a difference, because you are not limited in your Faith.
.
“Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Sincerely seek after the Lord! Never give up on Faith, because God isn’t ready to give up on you. Be encouraged everyday to strive after what God has for you. I know this life is hard and that is why we can not do it alone. Call upon his name through the storm and never stop believing. Though we may struggle, I never forget His Name and when the time comes, I know He will not forget mine!

Day 37 Hebrews 11:1-3

“Faith Hoped For!”

“What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.  God gave his approval to people in days of old because of their faith. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.” (Hebrews 11:1-3)

 Someone asked me the other day what does it truly mean to have faith? If I was to define what it means, could I find the true definition? “What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.”  When it comes to faith, we are all called to have confidence and assurance in what we hope. The true key to faith is not the word itself, but the word “Hope.” In these times, when you hear the word hope used, it usually means that it is not going to happen. If there is any word that is ever used out of context, it would be the Word Hope. If we look back in Hebrews 6:19, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure…” When you have something anchor, it isn’t moving, especially if it is firm and secure! Just think what a difference of live we would have if we were anchored to the word of the Lord, then you would understand what it means to have true hope and faith!
.
“By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.” Creation is the greatest gift given to us from God, because it is a constant reminder of who God is. Think about it, when you wake up, do you hope to see the sky, sun and land? Nope, we go to sleep every night having faith that the world will be the same as it was the day before.
.
Now hold that thought, we sleep every night with that eternal hope that the world will be in the same in the morning. Now just think about what would happen if we had that same faith with word of God! If we prayed at night and woke the next day to see our faith manifested, Beloved it is a powerful thought, but we have a powerful and mighty God. When the word says, “Faith is the things Hoped for,” this means that when you hope, it will come to pass. Let today be the day that you believe in the Word of the Lord. Letting not things be called chance and luck, but Hope and Faith. The power of Hope will anchor you deeply into true Faith.
