The Living Word of God - The Keys of the Kingdom !

Good morning,
The Living Word of God - The Keys of the Kingdom !
Jesus gave Peter and the Apostles authority over both the doctrine and practices of the first-century church. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, they would be given wisdom to know what to forbid and what to permit. The Bible uses a key as a symbol of authority by God. So, what was Christ telling Peter in Matthew 16:16–19? In order to understand these verses, it is of vital importance to understand what Christ calls the “keys” and in what context Christ authorizes the Church to “bind” or “loose” someone. After Jesus had declared that He would build His church on the truth of Peter’s noble confession. In Matthew 16:16-19, we find an interesting dialogue between  Jesus and Peter, His disciple. Jesus has just asked Peter who he believed Him to be? His answer was, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” From this Scripture, we notice that before we can receive the keys to the kingdom, we must first have the same revelation concerning the Lord that Peter had ! We must believe in the Son of the living God, this truth comes only through the revelation of the Holy Spirit.The word of God tells us to get understanding first. We must understand these verses, it is of vital importance to know what Christ calls the “keys” and in what context Christ authorizes the Church to “bind” or “loose” someone. The Biblical principles necessary to produce our prayers answer is by the word. We cannot “bind” anything on earth that is not “bound” in heaven, or “loose” anything that is not already “loosed” in heaven. So we can see that the aforementioned agreement must be more than two people simply deciding that they want something and then asking for it together. Our prayers must agree with the Word and Spirit of God. The “keys” to God’s Kingdom are the gospel message that brings one to Christ, and through Christ we receive eternal salvation. Christ is the “door” to the Kingdom of God only. There are basically two reasons why some people will not receive the “keys” to the Kingdom of God, and therefore the “door” to the Kingdom of God will not be opened to them. The first reason is that God must draw and select a person before they can understand the gospel message. Christ said in John 6:43-44,Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.The second reason why some people will not receive the “keys” to the Kingdom of God is because they are not worthy to receive them. Christ explains in Matthew 7:6,Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Christ is talking about those people who understand that Christ is the only way to salvation, but who rejected to follow Him. For example, the Pharisees and Sadducees knew who Christ was and knew He was from God.One of the first keys to the kingdom is that of prayer. Prayer is the primary means we have to communicate with God. The Lord instructs us to pray from the secret chambers of our hearts; this is what He means by entering into our closets. We are to pray from our hearts to the Father and not pray just to be heard by people.Understand you have been giving a mission by God.The design of the devil is, to keep people ignorance to the gospel. The servants of God,and the ministry, have a similar responsibility to assist those God is calling. Heavenly Father forgive us for not doing your will.Let us not preach of ourselves, but preach and teach the good news of Jesus Christ. For it's written in 2 Corinthians 4:5-7, For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. Thank you Lord for the Living Word that dwells within us. Amen !

The Living Word of God - Put God First !

Good morning,
The Living Word of God - Put God First !

Let us start today together in agreement Children of God. What is number one in your life____? I hope and pray that it's God ! We going to put somethings in order, what is your first thought when you wake up? It should be, Thank you Lord for this day. Thank you Lord for the breath of life !  It's in Job 33:4,The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Let us pray Lord we give you all the glory and honor daily. Now pray asking, God give us protection, we need your power (strength) on the job, your wisdom, your joy, your spirit of love, and traveling mercy this day! Lord we need more of you and less of ourselves. Think for a minute about the living water of God, it's His Word never ending. Lord let us have passion, and a sound minded. Passion is what energizes life. Passion makes the impossible possible. Passion gives you a reason to get up in the morning and speak over yourself, "I’m going to do something with my life today" for God to get the glory. Then make your breakfast, and pray again giving God thanks. When we open up our heart to God, the Lord Jesus Christ begins to work in our mind, as well as in our heart. He begins to bring about a change on the inside! It's in Ephesians 4:23-24, And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.You have to understand your on the battlefield now. Some people are afraid to speak of the Good News of Jesus Christ, because of what people or friends might say! The Bible says fear has torment. And where does fear torment us? In the mind, so put on your armor daily. Next get dress with the Whole Armor of God daily. Why, Because Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Read 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. You see, when your mind is guarded by the Word of God, you think differently. When the Word of God is allowed to work in your mind, it safeguards your emotions; it defends your mind from demonic assault; and it shields you from arrows the enemy may try to shoot in your direction in order to arouse a spirit of fear inside you. So, put on your Whole Armor daily your on the battlefield fighting, the arrows are coming your direction. Heavenly Father we seek your face daily. We come to you at the throne of grace, looking for your direction. We have studied your word, but we need your strength and power. We know that the hour has come to stand firm in the faith of God, let us be strong.The time is now, it's in Romans 13:11-12, And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Thank you Lord for Your Living Word. Amen !

The Living Word of God - The Spoken Word !

Good morning,
The Living Word of God - The Spoken Word !

The spoken word of God is everlasting, all powerful, all knowing, and truth. The word comes from God alone. Read Isaiah 55:10-11 ,For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. The authority of Scripture is derived by the virtue of it being authored and inspired of God and it has authority over everyone whether they be a believer or not. Everyone won't submit to God's word now, but they will later when the truth of God's Word on the Day of Judgment.  Because the word comes from God, everything it says is true and will come to pass. Amen ! When we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, it should always line up with the word of God. The commandment that has been giving to us is to preach, teach, go and make disciples! Jesus’ final instructions to the Apostles in Matthew 28:19-20,Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Some have been elected to preach, others to teach, by His Word Only ! That's why it's important to see what Jesus prayed to His Heavenly Father on the cross. He says, “Not My will, but Yours, be done.” Jesus was not saying, “I don’t want to be obedient” or “I refuse to submit.” But,not my will, but Your will, be done, because "My will is to do Your will.” Now read, John 12:49-50, For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. The spoken word of God must be lifted up, for the people and the nations. It's in John 8:28,Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. Heavenly Father help us your beloved children learn to walk by your authority. For all the days of my life, I will stand on the word of God. I will trust Him with all of my heart, mind and body. To the beloved children of God, nothing just happens, it's God's plan for your life. Let us learn to pray like Jehoshaphat, in 2 Chronicles 20:5-6, And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court, And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? For we have the victory hallelujah in Christ Jesus! Thank You Lord for Your Living Spoken Word ! Amen !

The Living Word of God - The Power Within !

The Living Word of God - The Power Within ! 

Throughout the Bible, we find many instances of God's people praying and God answering their prayers. Understand the scriptures it's God's Word. Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. You must get understanding first of God's Word, Jesus was an intercessor while He was here on earth. He prayed for those who were sick and possessed by demons. He prayed for His disciples. He even prayed for you and me when He interceded for all those who would believe on Him. Jesus continued His ministry of intercession after His death and resurrection when He returned to Heaven. He now serves as our intercessor in Heaven. The Spirit that lives within the believers is the Spirit of God. Amen ! So, ask yourself why are your walking in fear___? The right answer to that question is, you are being mislead. Don't be fooled by Satan!  Read 2 Timothy 1:7,For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. The children of God have the Holy Spirit and Power within them. Children of God learn how to release the power and authority from within you. How, the answer is found in Scripture, read God's Word. Your faith can change your life! But no matter how great your faith is, you must first release your faith if it's going to change the circumstances that are affecting you negatively. God himself has promised that these promises are YES and AMEN. So you can be assured that when you begin to apply the principal of speaking in faith you will see the promised manifestation of God's power in your life! We walk by faith not by sight. Thank you Lord for your Word. Amen !

The weekend Living Word of God - "I believe !"

Good morning
The weekend Living Word of God - "I believe !"

Awake people of God , the time is now ! Do you believe the word of God __? Do you believe that all power is in His hands____? Do you believe that God is in control  of your life___?  In John 9:37-39, And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. Now, is the time for the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret since the world began. To make known the teachings of Jesus to all nations: thus is prophecy being fulfilled, making foolish the wisdom of this world. Read John 12:30-31 , Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. There is power in the death of Christ to draw souls to himself. We have heard from the gospel that which exalts free grace, and we have heard also that which enjoins duty; we must from the heart embrace both, and not separate them. Cut off listening to soul's whispering from below: for out of the souls of men proceed all evil thoughts which cause all evil in this world. All evil thoughts come from below, out of the soul, and defile the man. We walk by faith, not by sight. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The Living Word of God - Lack of Knowledge !

Good morning
The Living Word of God - Lack of Knowledge !

People of God, the crisis we face today are real and deadly, we have been warned of the great tribulation by God's Word.  Are you  aware of the fact that the church is facing a time of great crisis. If you take into consideration all the signs, there is no mistake that our generation is living in the last days, the second coming of Jesus Christ. In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus speaks of wars, earthquakes and such things, but says these are just the "beginning of sorrows" and "the end is not yet" read it for yourself. There is a vast difference between acquiring knowledge about the things pertaining to spiritual matters; and actually having the Spirit of God dwelling within you and operating through you. We have to understand worldly wisdom is foolishness to God, it's in 1 Corinthians 3:19-20, For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. God is calling out to all that are called by His name. It is not Jesus who says this, but Hosea speaking for God in Hosea 4: 6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. The people are not destroyed because they haven't learned enough information. They are destroyed because they have rejected the knowledge of God. When we reject God's knowledge, God has no alternative but to reject you.  Amen ! Its one thing to read your Bible, but its another thing to know God. The Bible says in Acts 19: 20, "So mighty grew that word of God that it prevailed,” God’s word is an over-coming powerful word. When we get to know more of God’s word and His power we can overcome, whatever is thrown at us daily. I'm a living testimony, God has been my everything. It's not easy when your mother is called on home, but it's God's will. I made it through in spite of the storm and the tears, heartache and pain. I'm declaring that I made it through, God is in control. We must know that God’s word will prevail, it will overcome everything at its right time. Do not only know your Bible, but spend time getting to know God's healing power daily. The word of God tells us to ask, seek, knock and the door will be open. You see, I had to lay before Him and cry out for 10 months, help me Lord, I miss my Mother. Understand, something took place in my spiritual journey, only God could do, I'm still learning also! You see God is the potter, and I am His clay. So, hath not the potter have power over the clay?  By the power the potter has over the clay, to shape it in what form he pleases, and out of it to make what vessels he pleases, and for what purposes he thinks fit. It's in Romans 9:14-15, What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. Our Heavenly Father, has always desired to be close to us, to have a personal relationship with us. Having a personal relationship with God means we should include God in our daily lives and trust His Will. We should pray to Him, read His word, and meditate on His Word to get to know Him better. Let us pray, Ephesians 1:17-23,That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. Thank you Heavenly Father for your word.

The Living Word for the Beloved Children of God - Oneness !

The Living Word for the Beloved Children of God - Oneness !

Do you understand the meaning of oneness? The mystery of oneness is Jesus and God are one Spirit. It's in John 17:21-23,That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Jesus is talking about believers being in unity with one another, by the Holy Spirit. The word tells us that if two believers agree on earth it will be loose in heaven. For it is written in Matthew 18:18-19, Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Let us pray together for one another and the nations that we put on the fruit of the spirit daily. For it's in Galatians 5:22-23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness,temperance: against such there is no law.We have to learn to walk by the spirit of truth. We need more of Him (God) and less of ourselves. The word tells us that patience is better than pride. People of God awake and cry out Lord it's me in the need of prayer. Let us seek the face of God for His divine power and purpose for His good pleasure. His plan will prevail, at the right time He will bring everything together. For the Lord created all things, and they exist because He created what He pleased. God is with us, it's in John 13:33-34, Little children, yet a little while I am with you.Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Heavenly Father, we come before thy at the throne of grace seeking your face day and night. We need to talk, walk and live in unity by your Spirit Lord. For it is written in 1 Corinthians 1:10, Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. Thank you Lord for Your Word of Life. Amen !
