Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Doubt, but captivity of the thought, I strengthen my Faith! I Thank the Lord for Brokenness, it Him we are Whole! I Thank the Lord for Head strong perseverance, through every trail, we are made stronger!

 

It is Written, “As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.” 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray that the Spirit of Defeat be broken over the Body of Christ in Jesus Name, for we are all Champions in Christ!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord that the foolishness of the gospel is greater than the wisdom of Mankind! I Thank the Lord for a new day, we may travail through darkness of night, but Jesus is our Morning Glory! I Thank the Lord for imperfection, for it has made me learn to Trust in you!

 

It is written, “Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John– although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. Now he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:1-14

 

Prayer: Lord, I pray that everyone Man, Woman and Child thirst after the Truth and Knowledge of the Most High God!

“Receive the Holy Spirit!”

“When the apostles back in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted God’s message, they sent Peter and John there.  As soon as they arrived, they prayed for these new Christians to receive the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them, for they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John laid their hands upon these believers, and they received the Holy Spirit.”(Acts 8:14-17)

“When the apostles back in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted God’s message, they sent Peter and John there.  As soon as they arrived, they prayed for these new Christians to receive the Holy Spirit.” I can never stress the importance of receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you are to understand the depth of an apostle, you would only have to look at their day to day activities. As new believer were receiving the water baptism of John, the apostles would sent out to baptize in the Holy Spirit. Why was this important you may ask? And the answer is easy. Jesus promised that he would leave us a counselor who would be with us always. Most importantly is that Jesus knew that it is not by our strength that we are over comers in this life. We need the Spirit of God to empower us to fully walk out our destinies and fight against the schemes of the devil.
“The Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them, for they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John laid their hands upon these believers, and they received the Holy Spirit.” It was by receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior were they received the Holy Spirit. Beloved, if you have not received this Promise and Blessing from the Lord, I would encourage that you seek out those that will pray and Lay hands so that you may receive. Being a believer in Christ, you face many challenges that lay ahead. Be Clothed in the power of the Lord today and seek eagerly for this baptism.

” Not By Knowledge, But by Faith”

“As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, he reached the border between Galilee and Samaria. As he entered a village there, ten lepers stood at a distance, crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, their leprosy disappeared. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God, I’m healed!” He fell face down on the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? Does only this foreigner return to give glory to God?” And Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has made you well.” (Luke 17:-19)
.
“As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, he reached the border between Galilee and Samaria. As he entered a village there, ten lepers stood at a distance, crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, their leprosy disappeared.” I thank God for listening to my cries. Through every situation, the Lord has delivered me. I know for many of us, the Lord has rescued us in our time of need. Promises and prayers go up and the blessings come down. “And as they went, their leprosy disappeared. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God, I’m healed!” He fell face down on the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done.” One of the ten came back, but what happened to the other nine? Understanding that Jesus did not heal just one of ten or five of ten, he healed all ten of them, but only came back to give him sincere praise. “This man was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? Does only this foreigner return to give glory to God?” Now, when Jesus spoke that only a foreigner came back to praise him, this in our day would be someone who has not received him as Lord as Savior! That the other nine were Jewish and understood the laws and promises of Abraham, but even with all the Word that was inside them, they did not return to give thanks to the Lord.
.
“And Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has made you well.” You know why Jesus loved the lost some much? Because it was not by sight or by hearing that they understood who he was, it was by Faith. See, believer in his time were the Jewish people; the ones who know of the promise of Abraham, but still they reject God’s own word. Even today, you will find Christians who are stiffed necked and believing that they are worthy of the blessing of the Lord because of works. There can never be a point where we feel we deserve the blessings that we received. Through it all we shall gave praise. We are all unworthy to receive any blessings in our life, but his Grace is sufficient. Through all situations, let us humble ourselves so that we not be so bold to receive the blessing of the Lord in vain.

“The Last Hour!”

 

“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like the owner of an estate who went out early one morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay the normal daily wage and sent them out to work. “At nine o’clock in the morning he was passing through the marketplace and saw some people standing around doing nothing. So he hired them, telling them he would pay them whatever was right at the end of the day. At noon and again around three o’clock he did the same thing.  At five o’clock that evening he was in town again and saw some more people standing around. He asked them, `Why haven’t you been working today?” “They replied, `because no one hired us.” The owner of the estate told them, `Then go on out and join the others in my vineyard.’” That evening he told the foreman to call the workers in and pay them, beginning with the last workers first.  When those hired at five o’clock were paid, each received a full day’s wage. When those hired earlier came to get their pay, they assumed they would receive more. But they, too, were paid a day’s wage.  When they received their pay, they protested, `Those people worked only one hour, and yet you’ve paid them just as much as you paid us who worked all day in the scorching heat.” “He answered one of them, `Friend, I haven’t been unfair! Didn’t you agree to work all day for the usual wage? Take it and go. I wanted to pay this last worker the same as you. Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my money? Should you be angry because I am kind?’ “And so it is, that many who are first now will be last then; and those who are last now will be first then.” (John 20:1-16 NLT)

“And so it is, that many who are first now will be last then; and those who are last now will be first then.”  Today, as I look upon many people who are held at high esteem in our Christian society, I am in wonder of how God’s Word states that many who are called first, we be last to enter into his Kingdom. As I we read in the Word of the Lord, we read that Heavens rejoices when the Lost are found, even over those who are saved. In the Story of the Prodigal son, the Father through the feast the Son that returned home, as the Son who was Faithful felt like his Father was being unfair by throwing the feast for the Son who left. The Father celebrated the Lost Son who returned home over, just having a feast for his Faithful Son. So why does the Lord give such High Favor for those who are Lost? This has always been an issue even many today in the Church deal with. It is hard to understand why God would give favor to someone who has done nothing but be an enemy to Him, before Repenting and coming to the Lord. But as we read in John 20:13-14, “I wanted to pay this last worker the same as you. Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my money?”

I pray that we get a clearer understanding of what the Lord is trying to convey here. We all have read about Jesus’ Ministry. He has come to heal the Sick and not the Healthy. If I am a doctor, wouldn’t I sick to cure the patient of Cancer? And when I cured him, wouldn’t we rejoice that he no longer had the disease! In this same way, if God has blessed you with great health in your life, why should be upset with those who had were sick before being healed by him. As John reads,” Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my Money?” Salvation doesn’t come from any where else but from the Lord, he is the judge of who shall enter into his kingdom or not. We are all called to do God will at different times in our Life. Let us not be judges, but answer’s of God. When he calls upon your name in that Hour, answer him by saying, “I am here Lord!” For even those who are called in the eleventh hour and paid the same wages.

“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.
