“Sir,” the woman said, “you must be a prophet.  So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?” Jesus replied, “Believe me; the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father here or in Jerusalem. You Samaritans know so little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. But the time is coming and is already here when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
“Spirit and Truth!”
“So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship…” I remember having several people tell me that they were having issues with finding God in Church. That they had went to Church all their life and never able to have that relationship that he saw with most. All I could say that they were exactly right and I understood why they weren’t God in Church building, because that isn’t were dwells! I used to believe that it was enough to just go to church every Sunday and attend youth meetings, but I soon found that my life wasn’t changing. I would read the Bible and think how incredible how God would use these men and women of Faith, never understanding that the Lord wanted to use me in the same way. Jesus replied, “Believe me, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father here or in Jerusalem .” John 4:19-24
Now why would Jesus state that it wouldn’t matter where we worshiped the Father? To look at this closely, he said a time is coming. Do we as Christians believe that this time is here? For Salvation isn’t found in the Church, it is found within the Father. Jesus goes on to say, “For salvation comes through the Jews. But the time is coming and is already here when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth.” True worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth. We are called not to look at our worshiping in the natural, but how we are in the supernatural and not only that, we are called to worship in truth. Jesus is the way, the Light and the Truth who came to deliver the promise of the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Truth. Meditate and Pray for revelation on the Word of the Lord. God is seeking those who will pray unto in your heaven language in the Spirit. Jesus came to be the Living Truth and we should seek to live or Life after his example. Don’t let Sunday or being within the Church walls be the only time you worship in Spirit and in Truth. We are the People and now is the Time.
 “For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” The Lord your God is a Spirit. And as we receive discernment on these things, we must understand that any other king of worship falls short of Gods Standard. He has created us to worship him. A mighty God and us as mortal humans; shall we seek to be consumed in the Spirit! If you want to receive supernatural blessing in your life, you have to be prepared to serve you God in a supernatural way. My Prayer today is that we not limit our worship of him in Jerusalem, but we come and worship him in Spirit and in Truth.

“Unity in the Body”

For it is written, “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free— we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” 1 Corinthians 12:12-13

“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” I have grown to understand one thing through my Christ walk; God has made way for many to enter the Kingdom of God. I, like many others, believed so strongly in my Faith and domination that I was caught up in the ritualistic tradition of men to understand the power of the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross. The Lord has shown me through the story of the woman at the well, that the Father seek those who will serve him with Spirit and Truth. For Jesus said, “ Believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain or Jerusalem….yet a time will come and has come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth!”

We as the Body of Christ must see that the Lord is not divided in himself. “For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one Body!” God has destine every man woman and child. If you are reading this Word today, I tell you now, Gods plan for you is not death, but Life! “Whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free- we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” It is written that God is not a respecter of person and do not let anyone deceive you of these things. It is written that when you draw near to the Lord, He will draw near to you. My prayer in Jesus Name is that you seek a deeper understanding of your part in the Body of Christ. Do not measure your calling against others, it will just belittle what the Lord has called you too. Be persistent, press into the Father, seek him daily. For no man who diligently runs after the Lord shall not find Him. You are not alone, seek The Father in Spirit and Truth and He will find you.

“Temple of The Holy Spirit!”

“Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Or don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)

.

“Run away from sexual sin!” I remember I once received an email from a young man asking me to pray. He said that he was going through some hard times in his life and was currently battling with lust. Now, I have spoken to many people who have gone through this same situation, but this time when I heard it, the Spirit of the Lord told me that he should not be battling, he should be fleeing! Time and time again, you will hear people say that they are battling with lust and rather they admit it or not, it is a losing battle they fight. “No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.” Now, the bible states that no other sin so clearly affects the body. With AIDS and so many other STD’s in the world, it is not hard to understand the reasoning behind why we should be fleeing and not battling. If you talk to someone and they say they are battling cancer, it means they are consumed by this disease and seeking and believing they will be healed in Jesus Name. But I find when you battle lust, in the same respects; it has consumed you and your thoughts. Run! Do not deceive yourself in believing this is a fight you will by your own strength.
.
“Or don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?” We were made to worship. We were design for the Spirit of the Lord to live within and not to be consumed by lust and other sinful acts. We must understand that when we do not flee from these things, we are favoring them over the Spirit of the Lord. Our bodies are called to host the Holy Spirit. “You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.” We are all called to a high standard living. When you Honor God with your body, you are putting into action your Faith in His Word. Righteousness not only comes through believing, but acting on what you believe. Favor The Lord with your everything and flee from those things that would bring sin into your life. Always remember, many are called, but few are chosen. Live the Life of righteousness the Lord has called you to live.

“Faith, Can’t Leave Earth Without It!”
“Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by Faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him,  whether we are at home in the body or away from it, for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.”(2Corithians 5:6-10)
.
“Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by Faith, not by sight.” We must understand that this life in the flesh is one that we live by Faith. For we are away from the Lord, as you may know, Faith is the belief in things unseen. But do we understand what it truly means to be Faithless? It faith is a belief in things unseen, and then faithlessness comes by believing in what we do see. But being people of Faith, our hearts our set on heavenly aspirations. “We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.” Lord knows that we wait and seek to worship him in Heaven, but the will of God must be done here on earth.
.
“So we make it our goal to please him,  whether we are at home in the body or away from it, for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” Beloved, let today be the day that you seek to righteousness that leads to ever increasing Faith. For we can not wait until we ascend to heaven to be true believer of the Lord, but now is the time that God has called you to your destiny. If the reward of your Faith is at the finish line of Heaven, then know that you are still running the race of righteous living.

“Holiness, it’s what I long for!”

“So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the special blessings that will come to you at the return of Jesus Christ. Obey God because you are His children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God-who chose you to be his children-is holy. For He Himself has said, “You must be holy because I am holy.”(1 Peter 1:13-16)

“So think clearly and exercise self-control.” Beloved, never under estimate the power of obedience, especially when you hear voice of the Lord. God is calling for a people who are going to be Faithful and Diligent in the His service. “Obey God because you are His children.” As it were, when I lived in the world, I sought after worldly things making me a child of the great deceiver, but when I found the truth of the Lord and conformed to His ways, I became a Child of God. “Don’t slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God-who chose you to be his children-is holy.”
.
I know for many people, living a righteous life is a struggle. To totally transform yourself to a new creation and cutting old ties that are pulling you back into a life of sin is not easy. But what is even worse is when the Lord has delivered you from a situation and you find yourself running back to it when times are tough. Just like you have built your life in the world, you have to build one in the Spirit. For when you were unsaved, you lived your life trying to satisfy the Flesh. But now God has entered into your Life, your life goals should be satisfying the things of the Spirit. “For He Himself has said, “You must be holy because I am holy.”

 “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.

“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.

“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.
