The word for today is -  Dreams !

 

Everyone assumes that dreams and visions are coming from God, this is not true! Why? Sometimes, dreams and visions are coming from your own day-to-day activities or problems.Thats you ! 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, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. That is God ! Then the other side is from the dark side Satan .We need to make a distinction between visions that come from God and those that come from Satan. Why? Because some visions and dreams are deceiving spirits, they are not from God. We need to know what is really coming from God, and we must think twice before assuming they are coming from God.The word of God says,in 1 John 4:1-3,Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.  So,God spoke to His prophets in dreams and visions and Jesus spoke in parables. Why ? Because it is only  God who can and will reveal the mysteries to us, by His Spirit.  Read Mark 4:9-12,And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.  It is Spiritual !!!! Lets look at Daniel 2:25-29, Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. This means man does not understand the things of God from the flesh, you must get understanding first, God is a Spirit and the things of God comes from the Spiritual Realm. The word says in Daniel 10:13-14, But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. You have to understand the Holy Spirit is a helper inorder for us to understand the things of God. Read Hebrews 4:12,For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. You see there is Spiritual battles taking place now, its war between the forces of darkness and the kingdom of light. Spiritual warfare, there are also many sides engaged in misinformation and destruction, ever dream or vision is not of God. The Apostle Paul says to be strong in the Lord, and put on the full armor of God ,so that you can stand firm against the schemes of the devil, read Ephesians 6:10-12, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Your on a battlefield, do you have on your full armor of God (His word)?  Satan is depicted as a formidable enemy who is angry and dangerous, Peter warns the believers to be prudent and on the lookout for this enemy. The enemy is in the Spiritual Realm, he is real, and he is out to devour you. We must become equipped to do battle in the spiritual realm, so never approach the battle field unarmed and unshielded. Thank you Lord for your Spirit that dwells in us, with out your Spirit, we would not understand your ways.We are victorious, we are winners !!!!!!! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Dependent !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Dependent !

 

The question for today is, who are you rely on? The word says, trust in God, read  Proverbs 3:5-7,Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. Now get this, the word says, don't think your wiser then God, He will lean you on the right path. Now read 2 Corinthians 4:16-18,For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. We don't need a doctor for the things that are going on in our life, we need a self-examination. Apostle Paul tells us to examine ourselves, read it in 2 Corinthians 13:5-6, Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. Ask yourself are you Cursed ? It says in Jeremiah 17:5-9, Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? No one, but God sees the heart of every person. In the beginning of time God said in His word I the Lord has giving you everything that you need. Read Genesis 1:29, And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. How many people know all that you need is giving to you as a gift from God daily? Some people rely on their last name, some rely on their mother or father, some rely on other people. The word of God says, in John 8:58, Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.  Jesus is saying, before anything and everything I AM !!!  I am your source, remember that God is faithful to His word and He promises to take care of His people or children. Read Psalm 37:24-25, Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Have you been forsaken for food, a roof over your head (a home), or water? No! When we understand who is in control,  it allow us to take the pressure off of ourselves when things don’t  seem to be going our way. The word says,  God has promised to supply for us,read Philippians 4:19, But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. That means, His way and His timing!! Just wait on the Lord, He has you fear not, read Isaiah 41:13, For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Gratitude !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Gratitude !

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Are you thankful? Read Psalm 100:1-4, Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. You should be thankful, why? because this is God's plan for you. Read Psalm 118:24, This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. We are told to be grateful and do so with joy and prayer. But do we need to be thankful for the problems in our lives? Yes ! Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” The will of God is that we rejoice and be filled with gratitude and we are to give thanks for everything. Everything means just that, we are to give thanks for everything, not just the good things, but also the bad. Why? Because God knows the plans He has for us ! We may not understand why we are going through trials or tribulation, but it is God’s will. The word of God says, in Psalm 107:1, O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Understand God's mercy is new everyday!!! The key is this, read Matthew 11:28,Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. The rest that you need is in Christ Jesus. Lets read Colossians 3:15, And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. So give thanks unto the Lord for this is His will for your life, He will give you peace within yourself (your heart)! Read Psalm 9:1-2, God's Word tells us that we need to show gratitude. If we face tribulations we are to be grateful as the rewards we will receive will be greater. So,Committing to a lifestyle of daily dying to self and living through Him is the foundation for true humility. Read Luke 9:23, And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Are you following the will of God? It is a daily walk, give thanks for this day !Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

The word for today is - Witness !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Witness ! 

 

Are you a witness for Christ? Its in 1 Peter 3:15,But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. The bible says always be ready to witness of the goodness of Jesus!  The bible says, in Colossians 3:23,And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. Did you get that? What ever you do, do it for God to get the glory. Some people are living in this world without knowing God. They don't know what is the purpose of life? It is to glorify God ! God created us for His own Glory. So, what does that mean? It means to acknowledge His glory and to value it above all things, and to make it known to others. We all should have a desire to know Him. Read Galatians 3:28,There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Now read Ephesians 4:1-13, I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Wow, the message is clear, there is one God that is greater then all, and He has giving us all a gift! Now read Jeremiah 9:23-24, Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.  When you witness to others read Psalm 145:18,The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. Now, the 10 Commandments shows us that we cannot keep God’s law, no matter how sincere we are and no matter how hard we try. We all need help, where does our help come from? Read Psalm 147:5, Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. When we witness the message:God is forgiving and will forgive us from the moment we begin a relationship with him. Jesus, the Son of God, paid for our sin with his death on a cross, THE DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST. He rose from the dead and offers us this forgiveness.We are made right in God's sight when we trust in His Son Jesus. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Decrease !

Good morning,

The word for today is -  Decrease !

 

You see, we must decrease, in order for God to increase in us. The word says, get understanding, Jesus wants us to deny ourselves and follow Him. Read Matthew 16:24, Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. “Taking up the cross” this means,God procures our deliverance from earthly, fleshly things possessing our hearts and minds, and He takes away the strongholds over us. How awesome is that? Read 1 Peter 2:1, Therefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking. This means when you take up the cross, you should be walking and talking by the Spirit of God. That Spirit is in truth and Love! Read Galatians 5:16-18,This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. The word tells us to be led by the spirit not by the flesh. Also read Ephesians 4:22, That you put off concerning the former way of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. Anything that prevents you from obeying God’s plan for your life is a hindrance and a snare to your spiritual growth. We are crucified with Him on the cross. Now get this, read Romans 6:6, Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer serve sin. If you desire to follow Him and to be a true disciple of the Lord you must learn to crucify the flesh with its unholy appetites and take up your cross by dying to the selfish desires of your flesh. Read Matthew 6:19-24,Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. The word of God tells us let no man think of himself more highly than others. Read Romans 12:3,For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. We walk by faith not by sight! We need you Lord, the message is the ministry of the gospel,its not about us! The message is about the kingdom of God!!! Move out of the way, and let God have His way in your life!! Read John 3:30,He must increase, but I must decrease.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - News !

Good morning,

The word for today is - News !

 

 Everybody is looking or listening to the news searching for anwers. Well, I have some good news to tell you, the news is this, the only good news is the word of God. His word is truth, His word is life, His word is the only way to the Father, His word is the only way in, His word says, I AM the way and the truth, His word is forever more. Are you reading the right paper or the right book? The greatest book that ever been giving to us is the Bible. In the bible it says, in Mark 16:15, And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Do you not know this is a command giving to us by God? Read Matthew 28:19, 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. You see the word of God tells us, teach and preach about the kingdow to come. Read Matthew 24:14, And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Also the word says, don't worry.  Read Galatians 6:9,And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. So, we must stand up and go into the nations, teaching and preaching the good news, the gospel of Jesus Christ, that is your asignment. We are called by God, to speak the good news, to the people. Read 2 Thessalonians 2:14-15, Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. Do you hear the sound of God, calling you? You are a servant of the Lord, just like Paul, read Romans 1:1-6,Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ. The good news is this, all that you need is in the word of God. We are caught in a battle between the forces of the good and evil. The good news is, Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament of the coming Redeemer. Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Jesus Christ lived a perfect sinless life for us.  He conquered sin for us. Jesus Christ died for my sins, once and for all. Jesus Christ rose from the dead.  He conquered death that I might have eternal life. Jesus Christ ascended to heaven where He is interceding for me.  He tells me to stop sinning, yet if I do sin and repent, He is interceding his blood before the Father and will forgive us. And, Jesus Christ is coming back to take His people to the new heaven. God has a plan, you see He doesn't want anyone to perish at the judgment. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

 

 

The word for today is - Healer !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Healer !

Who claims to be our Healer? God says, in Exodus 15:26,And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. When Jesus was on earth, when someone came to Him for healing, He never referred the person to Luke, the “Physician.” Jesus healed the person directly and personally, and He healed them either with His Word, which we have today, or He healed them with natural methods. Read 1 Corinthians 2:14 says, But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. In other words"the unspiritual man (the natural, or "soulish" man) does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him; and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually understood." This text tells us that the natural man, the unspiritual man, cannot understand spiritual things.  "They are foolishness to him."Jesus never used drugs, although we know that some types of drugs were available in His time. When Jesus was on the Cross, He was offered a type of drug to ease His pain, but He refused it. Jesus certainly did miraculous healings when He was on earth, but there was always one requirement. The person wanting to be healed had to believe. He or she had to believe that Jesus would do what He had already promised to do. In Ezekiel 12:25, the Lord says, For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. Read James 5:14-15,Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Then the word tells us in Titus 1:2-3, In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour. Wow, we will be healed, it we believe the word of God and do want it says. Now read Psalm 103:1-5,Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Do you not know that this is the power of God? Is anything to hard for God? No!  Lets look at the will of God, in 3 John 1:2, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Now thats something to think about. So,God's will is for us to prosper and be in good health? Yes! We are His children, He always wants the best for us! A father always wants the best for their children, Amen? Do you need to be healed, from something? Then,go to the Lord in prayer, then you must believe whatever you have ask for, that it is done. The word of God says, I AM your healer, all you have to do is ask and believe ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen!
