SECRETS OF A GOD CHASER
This is everything! The passion, the pain, the frustration...the raw seek and undying love without inhibition of a God Chaser...seeking His face like never before!
DANIEL 2:22 &47
HE REVEALETH THE DEEP AND SECRET THINGS: HE KNOWETH WHAT IS IN THE DARKNESS, AND THE LIGHT DWELLETH WITH HIM.
THE KING ANSWERED UNTO DANIEL, AND SAID, OF A TRUTH IT IS, THAT YOUR GOD IS A GOD OF GODS, AND A LORD OF KINGS, AND A REVEALER OF SECRETS, SEEING THOU COULDEST REVEAL THIS SECRET. 
   Matthew 10:26
fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
what i tell you in darkness, that speak ye in the light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

PASSIONATE PURSUIT...PROVERBS 17

​Proverbs 17:1
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of sacrifice with strife.
I have found this word to be timely and comforting in times such as these. As we continue to contend for the faith it is needful to remind ourselves that we are living in a time where we are seeing prophesy fulfilled in our lives and the lives of others…for them that perish and to the faithful, just as well. Be not weary in well doing for we shall reap in due season if we faint not. Jesus is with you. He will never leave you neither forsake you that you can boldly say that he is your helper and your keeper. Hold fast to the truth and sound doctrine. Eat the bread of life, supp with righteousness. The adversary comes to bring strife, chaos, and discord, but Jesus Christ comes that we may have life and have it more abundantly. I have found myself content with the fear of the Lord and to learn to be abased and to abound even in the midst of afflictions. There are many families sacrificing things but the sacrifice is not a living sacrifice unto God, a reasonable service, holy and acceptable. The gentiles sacrifice unto devils giving into covetous practices and deceitful lusts. They sacrifice to obtain treasures on the earth that cannot prosper you or bring you to your expected end in the faith. Awake out of sleep. Seek the face of God and receive of his holy spirit while he yet may be found. Watch and pray. Seek the kingdom and all of its righteousness and all else shall be added unto you. Receive His healing, receive His truth. Put on the whole armor and eat the whole loaf that you may endure to the end. Seek that you may be dressed with proper attire when the Lord Jesus returns for those that have surrendered to his will. His yoke is easy and his burden is light.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE WHISPER...TO THE OVERCOMERS

10/23/2023

REVELATION 2:1-7
THE CHURCH AT EPHESUS – THE EPHESIANS
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; these things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks;
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them to be liars.
The emphasis is placed on the seven stars and seven candlesticks which are symbolic of the angels which carry the message to the seven churches which carry the truth and represent the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the originator of all truths and righteousness.
The Apostle Paul is also used to establish the church of Ephesus and address the church with the letter which addresses the faithfulness of the believers at Ephesus and the need to endure and overcome the whiles of the enemy. Oftentimes, in the letter to the Ephesians Paul uses the phrase “in times past” to have us remember the deliverance and the foundation of the grace through faith in Jesus Christ that was established. He wants us to remember the old spiritual condition that we were in when he found us so we can use that to overcome the present battles and warfare and walk in the newness given through the blood of Jesus Christ and trust and believe that all things are possible which seem impossible to man. He wants us to not go back to the familiar. Remember the promises of salvation and redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ. The Lord pleads with us to stay the course of the truth and fight the good fight of faith. We have overcome the falsehood. We have overcome the world.
This letter to the Ephesians gives the revelation of the purified love of Jesus Christ and the Spirit of Promise and leads and guides us in the path of all truths and righteousness. This love passes all understanding.
This church has the operations of the Spirit of God and just wants to do the will and purpose of Christ. They want to go forth and work signs, miracles, and wonders that build the faith. They have searched for the true apostles and desire fellowship with the true believers. The fellowship that they have desire for cannot have them go backwards to the old life of sin and iniquity. There is a wrestling with the enemy in the spirit and that adversary wants you to take down the standard of righteousness and go back to the old lifestyle. The Lord Jesus, however, tells us to be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might and to put on the whole armor of God he has given us to overcome!
Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thou first love.
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do thy first works, or else will I come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
It is easy to slip into the “Mary/Martha syndrome” where you become so accustomed to doing a work for the Lord and are so used to looking outwardly at people and the way they live and how they receive the word of God that you can lose sight of why you fell in love with Jesus Christ in the first place; Being in the lap of Jesus where there is true worship, intimacy, mercy, and longsuffering. Jesus loved us enough to be touched with our every infirmity and those things that concern us. He said come learn of his ways because his yolk is easy and his burden is light. Come unto him because he cares for you. Therefore, the message is a sense of urgency to the church at Ephesus to return to the Lord with repentance. He says return to your first love when the love and faithful works were done in purity and sincerity of heart. The Lord Jesus pleads with them to remember from where they had fallen. What caused you to stumble? Get back to that place and surrender completely, repent, and overcome. Get back to the first work that the Lord had you start as an effective member of the body of Christ with simplicity and purified love. He says to the church that if they do not return, then will he remove that candlestick which is symbolic of his light, the church, that he uses to draw unto him. When darkness comes no man can work.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

PICK UP YOUR WEAPONS AND FIGHT!...PRAYER IS A POWERFUL WEAPON OF WARFARE...USE IT!

10/20/2023

​Revelation Chapter 1
 
There is a reason the Lord reveals to us his order of communication with his servants. Although we are flesh and blood, the Lord has a great desire to have effective communication with his chosen. He also gave a command that we love the Lord with all our hearts, mind, and our soul. If we love the Lord, then we will maintain communication through prayer so that we can know the will of the Lord for our lives. If we surrender to pray and to be led of the spirit of God, then He will also answer you and give you his will concerning others. This is why the Lord also shares that we should love one another. If we love each other then will we pray for each other and want the Lord to reign completely in each other’s lives.
It is interesting that the Lord mentions effective communication first. It is imperative in His Kingdom for us to communicate with one another ad that the communication is Holy. The Lord desires to perfect us until we all come in the unity of the faith (Eph 4:12). He also commanded that we know them that labor among us which requires fellowship in the spirit and much prayer and supplication.
One of the main reasons that relationships struggle or fail is due to ineffective communication. The Lord says he considers his believers’ friends and if we are friends then he shares his plans and his vision.
John 15:15
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth, I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth; but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my father I have made known unto you.
 
One of the things the Lord commanded was that his children love one another. In previous chapter the Lord reveals by his spirit the principalities of the kingdoms of the world so that we can put on the whole armor of God and overcome the whiles of the adversary. Although the Lord is addressing his seven churches of the end times, these churches are the body of Christ and he desires for them to be in unity. To perfect the body of Christ unity and effective communication are required.
Husbands and wives take note of this instruction just as well. These adversaries cannot stand unity, but when two are together in unity and in one accord, the enemy trembles. Where there is unity there is strength. In the end times the adversary is attempting to destroy the bond of unity given by the Holy Spirit. One way that the adversary is attempting to do this is with discord and division among the disciples of Christ and attempting to eliminate healthy, effective communication. However, the time is at hand to recognize and be wise as serpents, yet gentle as a dove. Pray and watch. Seek the face of God while he is yet near. Trust tin the midst of adversity and endure unto the end.

​II PETER 2:1-3

BUT THERE WERE FALSE PROPHETS ALSO AMONG THE PEOPLE, EVEN AS THERE SHALL  BE FALSE TEACHERS AMONG YOU, WHO PRIVILY SHALL BRING IN DAMNABLE HERESIES, EVEN DENYING THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM, AND BRING UP THEMSELVES SWIFT DESTRUCTION.
AND MANY SHALL FOLLOW THEIR PERNICIOUS WAYS; BY REASONS OF WHOM THE WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.
AND THROUGH COVETOUSNESS SHALL THEY WITH FEIGNED WORDS MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU: WHOSE JUDGMENT NOW OF A LONG TIME LINGERETH NOT, AND THEIR DAMNATION SLUMBERETH NOT.

Through covetous practices many of the Lord’s chosen were slaughtered and continue to be slaughtered is what the Holy Prophets have spoken. The attempts from the adversary are to get the Lord’s chosen and anointed ones to forsake the holy covenant and lose their inheritance with God. The Bible states that perilous times will come and many will fall by way of seducing spirits and give heed to doctrines of devils. Oftentimes we read these scriptures and put them to the side as if they don’t apply to us. However, be reminded to take care those who think they stand lest they fall. The righteous will scarcely make it and if we take note of the scripture it says that these people are among us as brethren and what they do, they do in private bringing in damnation and swift destruction. Remember the Lord warned to be not deceived. We cannot look on the outer appearance. These people are loved ones…people who started in ministry with us. The enemy doesn’t come through the front or side door but attempts to get to us through those we love and what we love. Sometimes desires can become covetous because they are inappropriate or because the way we attempt to acquire something is wrong. For example, it is acceptable to want a vehicle or reliable transportation but if you want a vehicle that is beyond your means merely to “one-up” another of the brethren then the intent is improper. The enemy plays on these desires that many of us have and with falsehood and deceit will attempt to make merchandise of you.
What does it mean to make merchandise? Think of it as a child would because no one can enter the kingdom except he or she come as a child. Something that wasn’t for sale has been placed for sale and put on display. The Lord Jesus Christ has come and he descended into the lower parts then rose with all power to sit on the right hand of God. He led captivity captive and gave gifts unto all men. Do not allow the adversary to come into the midst of your situations and circumstances, make merchandise of you in an attempt to kick you while you are down…while you’re attempting to do the Lord’s will and purpose and seek Him for instruction. Don’t allow the adversary to tell you that you don’t need to wait for an answer from the Lord. David was chosen and anointed as King, but even he still had to answer to someone and he chose to make the Lord his refuge. He always inquired of the Lord regardless of the circumstance. The Lord has angels that he has given charge over us but sometimes the Lord wants us to activate our most Holy faith. Pray. Praise. Wait on an answer. Do not take down or give in to intimidation/fear. Know the Lord your God is a present help in times of trouble. There is power in waiting. Your healing gift does not have to be put on display. You prophetic gifting doesn’t have to be put on display. None of your gifts/talents have to be put on display while the adversaries attempt to mock and weary the true saints even those who have a true hearts desire to do the Lord’s  will without waver and compromise. Pick up your weapons and fight even until the very end.  #PICKUPYOURWEAPONS #WATCHANDPRAY #SEEK

​MATTHEW 11:12
AND FROM THE DAYS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST UNTIL NOW THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN SUFFERETH VIOLENCE AND THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE.
 
We know that this is not a natural battle but a spiritual one. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers, principalities, and rulers of the darkness of this earth. We must contend for the faith and protect what has been ordained from the foundations of the world. Jesus Christ came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. However, he wasn’t simply speaking of providing us with merely earthly treasures. He spoke of going to prepare a place for us. In the meantime, the enemy is attempting to stiff and choke the Christians of their spiritual nature; robbing them of their gifts and talents and spiritual fruits. The Lord Jesus Christ, however, doesn’t come forcing his people to do anything. He is a comforter and a gentleman; not a bully. He comes with the true love that passes all understanding. The violence and the forces the we encounter are most often in spiritual battles. In the spiritual realm the adversary comes with falsehood, fear, and intimidation attempting to have us take down our standards of righteousness and the truth that has been established in us from the beginning. We must hold dear the things of the Spirit such as purified love, mercy, patience, truth, and keeping yourself rooted and grounded in the Word of God. Seek the kingdom of God and all of its righteousness and everything else will be added. We must not be weary. We must not be faint. Trust in the Lord and do good. Be faithful over a few things and He will make you ruler over many.
Habakkuk 1:1-5
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
O Lord, How long shall I cry and thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? For spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
Therefore, the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
Behold, ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told to you.

PASSIONATE PURSUIT...STILL AFTER HIS OWN HEART!

10/16/2023

PHILLIPIANS 3:7-10


BUT WHAT THINGS WERE GAIN TO ME, THOSE I COUNTED LOSS FOR CHRIST.
YEA DOUBTLESS, AND I COUNT ALL THINGS BUT LOSS FOR THE EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS MY LORD: FOR WHOM I HAVE SUFFERED THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS, AND DO COUNT THEM BUT DUNG, THAT I MAY WIN CHRIST,
AND BE FOUND IN HIM, NOT HAVING MINE OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF GOD BY FAITH:
THAT I MAY KNOW HIM, AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, AND BEING MADE CONFORMABLE UNTO HIS DEATH.
These are perilous times that we are living in. Paul began giving a testimony about the natural laws concerning promise and his place in genealogy within the Hebrew lineage, but he wanted to focus on the fact that he gave up the natural and carnal for the spiritual and things that were eternal.
When seeking the face of God you’re going to lose some things for the sake of righteousness especially in the end times. Some folks don’t want to let go of anything natural but Think they will still enter into a spiritual kingdom. To lose is to gain.
Acts 4:32
AND THE MULTITUDE OF THEM THAT BELIEVED WERE OF ONE HEART AND OF ONE SOUL: NEITHER SAID ANY OF THEM THAT AUGHT OF THE THINGS WHICH HE POSSESSED WAS HIS OWN; BUT THEY HAD ALL THINGS COMMON.
AND WITH GREAT POWER GAVE THE APOSTLES WITNESS OF THE RESSURECTION OF THE LORD JESUS: AND GREAT GRACE WAS UPON THEM ALL.
NEITHER WAS THERE ANY AMONG THEM THAT LACKED; FOR AS MANY AS WERE POSSESSORS OF LANDS AND HOUSES SOLD THEM, AND BROUGHT THE PRICES OF THE THINGS THAT WERE SOLD.
AND LAID THEM DOWN AT THE APOSTLES’ FEET: AND DISTRIBUTION WAS MADE UNTO EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HE HAD NEED.
We must be willing to suffer and lose things for Christ is the greater gain. Those who are not willing to leave mother, father, sister or brother and deny himself and take up his cross is not worthy of the Lord. Paul stated that the things which happened to him were for the furtherance of the gospel. What we lose...even the sufferings are to gain the kingdom. Our reasonable service is to partake in the sufferings and being made conformable to the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
Oftentimes the flesh wants us to attempt to establish our own righteousness based on works of the law and of the flesh. However, the Lord says if we do according to the law then it is no more of the faith and without faith it is impossible to please the Lord. We must follow hard after the Lord that we may obtain and apprehend that which we have been believing for from the beginning.

 DANIEL 2:34
THOU SAWEST TILL THAT A STONE WAS CUT OUT WITHOUT HANDS WHICH SMOTE THE IMAGE UPON HIS FEET THAT WERE OF IRON AND CLAY, AND BRAKE THEM IN PIECES.

The Lord makes it clear that no matter what kingdoms are established in the latter days, His kingdom is the everlasting kingdom. It is not established by the hands of man, and it will brake into pieces any other kingdom of the world.

PSALM 118:22

 THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REFUSED IS BECOME THE HEAD STONE OF THE CORNER.

COLOSIANS 2:9-12

FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY.
AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER.
IN WHOM ALSO YE ARE CIRCUMSIZED WITH THE CIRCUMSION MADE WITHOUT HANDS, IN PUTTING OFF THE BODY OF THE SINS OF THE FLESH BY THE CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST:

Jesus Christ is that stone which the builders rejected and has become the chief cornerstone. He is the head of  the church. The Word states to, “seek ye first the kingdom of God and all of his righteousness, and everything else shall be added (Matt6:33).”

So, though the Lord has allowed King Nebuchadnezzar to become a flourishing tree, appointed for a time, the Lord is acknowledging the pride and vanity of this kingdom and tells him that the kingdom along with all other kingdoms will not stand, but shall be brought low.

DO NOT FEAR..DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED...DO WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE TRUE UNTIL THE END.

CHURCH OF THYATIRA...REVELATION 2 STUDY

10/16/2023

0 Comments

 
​CHURCH OF THYATIRA  REVELATION STUDY GUIDE CHPT 2:18-29


UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF THYATIRA WRITE THESE THINGS SAITH THE SON OF GOD, WHO HATH HIS EYES LIKE UNTO A FLAME OF FIRE, AND HIS FEET ARE LIKE FINE BRASS;
I KNOW THY WORKS, AND CHARITY, AND SERVICE, AND FAITH, AND THY PATIENCE, AND THY WORKS; AND THE LAST TO BE MORE THAN THE FIRST.

Thyatira is located in a western province of Asia Minor which is also know as modern day Turkey. Here the Spirit of God is mentioning the Son of God speaking directly which represents purified love (charity) intercession, and righteous judgment. The messenger then mentions the eyes of the Lord Jesus as a flame of fire which focuses on his ability to see all things beholding the good as well as the evil. The fire is the all consuming refining fire that purifies and allows to see through eyes of holiness and are able to discern. His feet are brass meaning they have been through the fire and have overcome every form of tribulation that there is. They symbolize where he has been and the preparation of the Gospel. He is the one who overcame this world and is our Savior our fortress on whom we can depend. He sees past the flesh and sees the reigns of the heart. Works are mentioned twice to mean the spiritual works as well as the natural works. And the last to be more than the first meaning that he has seen the works of zeal while learning and growing in the faith and also the latter works of faithfulness and patience. 

NOTWITHSTANDING I HAVE A FEW THINGS AGAINST THEE, BECAUSE THOU SUFFEREST THAT WOMAN JEZEBEL, WHICH CALLETH HERSELF A PROPHETESS, TO TEACH AND TO SEDUCE MY SERVANTS TO COMMIT FORNICATION, AND EAT THINGS SACRIFICED UNTO IDOLS.

The Spirit of God which sees all and knows all and is a refining fire addresses the sin of the church. This church is passive. They are the priesthood, but refuse to address the sin within. Similar to the reign of King Asa, whose heart was right before the Lord, but didn’t remove the “high places”.  

Jezebel was the wife of King Ahab who was considered by God to be one of the most wicked to ever have reigned over his people. When Moses had given the law the children were commanded not to take unto them foreign wives. The Lord said that their God’s would be a snare unto them. Ahab took to himself Jezebel, a foreign princess. She was not called by God or ordained to his throne. In the context the Apostle John mentioned the church allowed Jezebel who called herself a prophetess to teach and seduce the servants of God. This revelation of John is that the spirit of Jezebel is one that self promotes. She called herself. She began to teach by the spirit of seduction. The Word of God warns that in the last days the end will not come until there first be a falling away.

I Timothy 4:1

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

The operations of the spirit of seduction works to get the saints of the Most High to depart from the faith and lose their inheritance. The adversary doesn’t go through the front or back door, but is subtle so that many depart without intending, but by the way of deception do they give heed to other doctrines. Though Ahab was the king, Jezebel was the one behind the scenes working iniquity. During her reign she had all of the false prophets eating from her table. She is the one who ordered the true prophets to be killed. She seduced servants to commit fornication and to sacrifice unto idols. These things weren’t just natural but spiritual fornication by having the servants build altars to other gods and to eat those foods sacrificed to other gods. This spirit is willing to kill to get its way. Therefore, the Lord is holding this church accountable. They have this spirit that desires to eliminate the head.  They have authority to handle the situation, but didn’t just as Samson had the authority over his foreign wives with numerous warnings by the Lord to repent, the kingdom was torn. 

AND I GAVE HER SPACE TO REPENT OF HER FORNICATION, AND SHE REPENTED NOT. BEHOLD, I WILL CAST HER INTO A BED, AND THEM THAT COMMIT ADULTERY WITH HER INTO GREAT TRIBULATION, EXCEPT THEY REPENT OF THEIR DEEDS.

Again, the Lord warns the children of God in this church to repent and return to righteousness. The Lord operates in the spirit of judgment to say he will cast her into a bed and those who commit adultery with her. There will be turmoil, chaos, and great trouble if they do not repent.

AND I WILL KILL HER CHILDREN WITH DEATH; AND ALL SHALL KNOW THAT I AM HE WHICH SEARCHETH THE REIGNS OF THE HEART: AND I WILL GIVE UNTO EVERY ONE OF YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS. BUT UNTO YOU I SAY, AND UNTO THE REST OF THYATIRA, AS MANY AS HAVE NOT THIS DOCTRINE, AND WHICH HAVE NOT KNOWN THE DEPTHS OF SATAN, AS THEY SPEAK; I WILL PUT UPON YOU NONE OTHER BURDEN. BUT THAT WHICH YET HAVE ALREADY HOLD FAST TILL I COME. AND HE THAT OVERCOMETH, AND KEEPETH MY WORKS UNTO THE END, TO HIM WILL I GIVE POWER OVER THE NATIONS: AND HE SHAL RULES THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; AS THE VESSELS OF A POTTER SHALL THEY BE BROKEN TO SHIVERS: EVEN AS I RECEIVED OF MY FATHER. AND I WILL GIVE HIM THE MORNING STAR. HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES. 

To whom much  is given much is required. Those who are faithful over a few things He will make ruler over many things. He will give the overcomer the desires of his heart. The Lord makes it clear that there are many kingdoms but His Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom. Those who endure and overcome will receive power meaning more than what they have. He already gave the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome. However, this power is with a governing position to rule over nations. These nations that are ruled with an iron rod are non believing nations, nations of other kingdoms and kindred. Therein is the victory over the enemy and victory over sin. Therein is the patience of the saints.

 2 TIM 1:1-7

I THANK GOD, WHOM I SERVE FROM MY FOREFATHERS WITH PURE CONSCIENCE, THAT WITHOUT CEASING I HAVE REMEMBRANCE OF THEE IN MY ORAYERS NIGHT AND DAY;
GREATLY DESIRING TO SEE THEE, BEING MINDFUL OF THY TEARS , THAT I MAY BE FILLED WITH JOY; WHEN I CALL TO REMEMBRANCE THE UNFEIGNED FAITH THAT IS IN THEE, WHICH DWELT FIRST IN THY GRANDMOTHER LOIS AND THY MOTHER EUNICE AND I AM PERSUADED THAT IS IN THEE ALSO.
WHEREFORE, I PUT THEE IN REMEMBRANCE THAT THOU STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, WHICH IS IN THEE BY THE PUTTING ON OF HANDS.
FOR GOD HATH NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; BUT OF POWER, LOVE, AND A SOUND MIND.

FIRST, OUR CONSCIENCES MUST BE PURE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. OU FAITH UST REAL TOWARDS THE LORD MEANING THAT OUTWARDLY WE CANNOT PORTRAY THINGS TO BE ONE WAY AND THEN BEHIND CLOSED DOORS YOU FAITH TOWARD GOD IS ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT. GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS. HE REMAINS THE SAME, HE CHANGES NOT. HE IS WITH YOU. HIS WORD ABIDETH FOREVER. THANK GOD FOR THE PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS THAT KEEP US STRENGTHENED INTHE INNER MAN TO DO THE LORD’S WILLA ND PURPOSE AND THAT WE MAY PERFECT TAHT WHICH MAY BE LACKING IN THE FAITH. THEREFORE, IS THE WHOLE BODY OF CHRIST BALANCED.
PAUL MENTIONS IN THIS SCRIPTURE THAT HE ALSO GREATLY DESIRES FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER SAINTS AND THAT HE IS IN REMEMBRANCE OF THEIR TEARS. WE GO THROUGH THINGS. WHEN ONE MEMBER SUFFERS, WE ALL SUFFER. THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS. SOMETIME WE SUFFER BECAUSE OF OUR OWN FOOLISHNESS, AND OTHER TIMES SIMPLY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO ENDURE AFFLICTION FOR THE NAME OF CHRIST. NEVERTHELESS, WE CONTINUE TO REJOICE ALWAYS IN THE OVERCOMING POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE WORD OF HIS TESTIMONY. WE MUST NOT STOP PRAISING, BUT DURING THESE TIMES OUR PRAISE MUST INCREASE.
THIS LETTER IS WRITTEN TO TIMOTHY WHO HAS A FEW EXAMPLES OF TRUTH AND BELIEVE THAT WAS SHOWN BY HIS MOTHER AND HIS GRANDMOTHER. SOMETIMES IT IS NEEDFUL TO REMEMBER THE FATIHFUL THAT HAVE SHOWN US THE WAY WHEN WE GET DISCOURAGED. REMEMBER PAUL OFTEN TOLD TIMOTHY NOT TO ALLOW THEM TO DESPISE HIM OF HIS YOUTH AND TO BE CONFIDENT IN THE FAITH.
THE LORD ENCOURAGES THAT TO STAND ON OUR MOST HOLY FAITH IN THESE LAST AND EVIL DAYS WE MUST “STIR UP THE GIFT” DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY CIRCUMSTANCES AND DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES MEN AND WOMEN OF CHRIST BUT TEACH ACCORDING TO THE PRECEPT OF MEN AND NOT BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR. HIS SPIRIT WILL LEAD AND GUIDE US IN THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. HE HAS GIVEN US POWER TO TRAMPLE SCORPIONS, SERPENTS AND ALL MANNER OF THE POWER OF THE ENEMY. DO NOT BE ASHAMED OF SERVING THE TRUTH BECAUSE ITS NOT POPULAR. DON’T THINK OF YOURSELF AS CRAZY FOR SERVING JESUS. WE ARE PARTAKERS OF THE AFFLICTIONS THAT COME WITH CARRYING THE CROSS. WE MUST DECREASE BUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD MUST INCREASE. THE ADVERSARY TO COME TO MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS AND MAKE YOU THINK IT IS FOOLISH FOR CHOOSING TO SERVE HIM. JESUS HAS CALLED US WITH A HOLY CALLING AND HE HAS COMMANDED US TO OPERATE IN THE POWER OF LOVE. IT IS NOT EASY TO LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE AND PUT THE FLESH UNDER SUBJECTION. THE PURIFIED OF CHRIST STRENGTHENS US TO DO THE WILL AND PURPOSE OF CHRIST.

 ISAIAH 45:17-19

BUT ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED IN THE LORD WITH AN EVERLASTING SALVATION: YE SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED NOR CONFOUNDED WORLD WITHOUT END.
FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD THAT CREATED THE HEAVENS; GOD HIMSELF THAT FORMED THE EARTH AND MADE IT. HE HATH ESTABLISHED IT, HE CREATED IT NOT IN VAIN, HE FORMED IT TO BE INHABITED: I AM THE LORD; THERE IS NONE ELSE.
I HAVE NOT SPOKEN IN SECRET, IN A DARK PLACE OF THE EARTH: I SID NOT UNTO THE SEED OF JACOB SEEK YE ME IN VAIN: I THE LORD SPEAK RIGHTEOUSNESS, I DECLARE THINGS THAT ARE RIGHT.
ISAIAH 46:9-10
REMEMBER THE FORMER THINGS OF OLD: FOR I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NONE ELSE; I AM GOD AND THERE IS NOT LIKE ME,
DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, AND FROM ANCIENT TIMES THE THINGS NOT YET DONE, SAYING, MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND, AND I WILL DO MY PLEASURE.


GLORY TOT HE MOST HIGH WHO LEADETH US IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAMES SAKE. I HAD FAINTED UNTIL I HAD SEEN THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING. FRET NOT THYSELF BECAUSE OF EVILDOERS AND NEITHER BE ENVIOUS OF WORKERS OF INIQUITY FOR THEY SHALL SOON BE CUT DOWN AND WITHER. I KNOW THE PLANS THAT I HAVE FOR YOU FOR MY WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS AND MY THOUGHTS ARE HIGHER THAN YOUR THOUGHTS SAITH THE LORD.
TRUST ME SAITH THE LORD TRUST ME AND I WILL PERFORM MY WORD IN YOU. CONSIDER THE AUTHOR AND THE FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH WHO IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST, THE BEGINNING AND THE END, THE GOD WHO CREATED ALL THINGS FOR HIS GOOD PLEASURE. HE SWEARS ON HIMSELF THAT HIS WORD WILL NOT RETURN VOID. THIS IS A FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT HE WILL OT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU THAT WE CAN BOLDLY SAY THAT HE IS OUR HELPER AND KEEPER, WHEN OUR OBEDIENCE IS FULFFILLED. HE HAS NOT TOLD US TO SEEK HIM IN VAIN. SEEK AFTER HIS SPIRIT AND HIS HOLINESS AND HE WILL BE FOUND WHEN WE SEEK HIM WITH OUR WHOLE HEART. HE IS THE GOD THAT KEEPETH COVENANT. WE MUST STAND ON OUR MOST HOLY FAITH. TAKE HOLD OF THEM THAT ARE WEAK IN THE FAITH AND PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. WATCH AND PRAY AND PRAY AGAIN. BY HIS SPIRIT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. BELIEVE ONLY. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVEN THE WALK OF OTHERS DICTATE YOUR WALK OF FAITH. THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. ASK THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL AND THAT YOUR FRUITS MAY REMAIN. LEAN NOT TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. WE MUST WISE AS SERPENTS AND YET GENTLE AS DOVES. TRUST THAT YOUR SAVIOR IS ON THE THRONE. HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL PERFORM IT UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST. BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. HE LOVES YOU AND HIS SALVATION SURELY DRAWETH NEAR.
