The weekend message for the beloved Children of God today - Reveal !

Good morning, to the Beloved Children of The King
The weekend message for the beloved Children of God today - Reveal !

Yesterday, morning when I was getting ready for work the spirit of God spoke. The spirit of God said, tell the children of God, if you renew your mind, I will reveal the things of the spirit realm to you. Understand, there is always order giving by God. We see in Scripture that it's very clear and to the point. Spiritual things must be spiritually discerned ! The Holy Spirit wants to lead us into a deeper relationship with God. It is almost impossible to love someone you don't know. 2 Corinthians 5:7, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." Renewing the mind will change our way of praying, living, speaking, teaching and loving one another. Amen ! The word of God tells us, let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. Understand each of us shouldn't be only looking at our blessing for ourselves, but let us bless someone else. Paul tells the most complete statement to the believers, it's to follow the example of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is revealed as taking on the form of a servant. Let us look at Mark 10: 41-45,When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles LORD it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."  It's revealed in verses 42-45, Jesus tell us that whoever wants to be greatest among his disciples would be the least and servant of others. He is described as saying that he himself came to minister to others and to give his life. Let us pray for one another, Heavenly Father we thank you Lord for revealing Your Love it brings such hope and comfort to us. Lord, remind us of your strength today, may we see glimpses of your glory and blessing along the way as we seek after you daily. Let us follow your example and help one another. For victory and salvation are found in you alone.
 Amen !

Scripture to meditate on today
This entire chapter of Psalm 91 is filled with the goodness and power of God.
Psalm 91, He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

The message for the beloved Children of God today - Strength !

Good morning, to the Beloved Children of The King
The message for the beloved Children of God today - Strength !

Let us be renewed by the power of God, let us pray together for strength.  I woke up this morning praying for a co-workers daughter and her pet pig.. Yes, a pig. I was saying Lord I never prayed for a pig before ! In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. It's in Genesis chapter 1..on day 6.. God spoke and said "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind. Now in Philippians  The word of God, it tells us in chapter 4:6, Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Amen ! We have to renew our way of thinking in prayer, pray for everything living on earth.  The word “”renew”” may be literally translated “”change”” or ““exchange””. Our greatest weakness is our own strength, and if we will go to the Lord in our utter weakness in prayer, He will exchange it for His strength, it's in 2 Corinthians 12:9. What kind of strength? Physical strength? Yes, He can it's in  Romans 8:11. Mental strength? Yes, He will it's in Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:23; 2 Timothy 1:7.. Moral strength? Yes, look at Ephesians 6:10; 2 Timothy 2:1. Spiritual strength? Yes, because we need it read Luke 24:29; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 1:25; Isaiah 30:15. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble daily. The word strength and its derivatives are mentioned over 360 times in the Bible, applying to both natural and supernatural strength. The Greek word katei means “power, strength, might.” In the Bible, strength is mentioned by Paul. He tells us to “be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” Read Ephesians 6:10, In conclusion, be strong in the Lord draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him and in the power of His might. Paul is telling us that the unlimited power and strength of Christ are the source of strength for those who belong to Him (Christ Jesus). Heavenly Father we seek your strength, your direction, your Spirit and your Love. We need more of you Lord and less of ourselves.     


Scripture to meditate on today
Habakkuk 3:19, The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
 he enables me to tread on the heights.

The message for the beloved Children of God today - Daily !

Good morning, to the Beloved Children of The King
The message for the beloved Children of God today - Daily ! 

Daily devotions is a phrase used to denote the discipline of Bible reading and prayer with the start or end of your day. Bible reading and daily devotions can take the form of a structured study using a devotional book or a simple reading of certain passages daily.  Jesus said follow me, it's in 1 Corinthians 11:1-2, Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ, when daily ! Two examples for us read Mark 1:35, In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there. Again daily ! Also, read Exodus 24:4, Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Then he arose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. It is important to spend time with God in daily devotions or prayer. Why? Paul explains: “For God, who commanded, ‘The light to shine out of darkness,’(made) hath( his light) shined in our hearts, to give (us) the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” That's in 2 Corinthians 4:6. The experience of having God’s light shine in our hearts comes in our time spent in the presence of God daily. My question for today are you sending time reading (studying) praying daily or only on Sunday's ___? Sharing the good news with someone is the great commission, it's in Mark 16:15, He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Someone once said, “The gospel brings man to God; but devotions keep him close to God.” The apostle James wrote, “Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded” (James 4:8). We cannot share anything that we don't know right ___ ? The Holy Spirit leads and directs us if we let Him. Amen ! We have to be still sometimes and let the Holy Spirit do His Job. The work of the Holy Spirit, He is involved in humanities redemption, salvation, transformation and glorification. When we understand the role of the Holy Spirit in redemption, we are enabled to plug into the vast power of God's Spirit. Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit to us to be our Helper, Comforter, and Guide. “And I will pray (ask) the Father, and he shall (will) give you another Comforter (Counselor) that he may abide (be) with you for ever” (John 14:16). I don't know about you, but I'm grateful for God's Love and Word for sending us another comforter. Let us think for a minute, where would we be without Him ___?  Read John 14: verses 17- 18 (very powerful), Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  I (The Lord ) will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.  Thank you Heavenly Father for Your Word is Truth. Amen !



Scripture to meditate on today
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 word of God tells us to rejoice always ( everyday, daily), pray continually (daily) and give thanks in all circumstances ( good or bad, daily); for this is God's will for us in Christ Jesus daily.

The message for the beloved Children of God is - Decisions !

Good morning To The Children of The King (message 8/30/18)
The message for the beloved Children of God is - Decisions !
 
Let us start with Godly decisions before we make any decisions. So, the bible tells us to pray first to God, and let the Holy Spirit direct us. We are each faced with decisions every day. Most of these decisions are easy to make since they involve matters of right and wrong. Even if doing right is not easy, we know that the proper decision is to do the right thing.The Bible offers many principles to aid the process of making decisions that honor God. The following list is not exhaustive, but it does represent many teachings of Scripture. First, begin with prayer. First Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” If we should pray in all situations, we should certainly pray in times of decision-making. As we pray, we ask for wisdom (James 1:5). Then, we should be seeking wisdom...Second, define the issue by Godly wisdom. Wise decisions are informed decisions. It is important to understand what options are available. Once the factors are known, options can be further considered and evaluated. Third, seek biblical wisdom. Some decisions become easy, if there is one clear choice consonant with God’s Word. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” When we follow the teachings of God’s Word, He guides our path and provides knowledge to make wise choices. My question for you today is who's leading and guiding you? Now get understanding, spirit guides are incorporeal beings that are assigned to us before we are born that helps nudge and guide us through life. Fourth, seek godly counsel. Proverbs 15:22 says, “Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.” Sometimes, consulting with a friend or family member is enough. At other times, consulting with a pastor or other trusted voice can make the difference between a harmful decision and a helpful one. Number five is grace, it's knowing that God will work everything out for your good. Now Fifth, trust the Lord with His decision for your Life. In other words, if you’ve made your decision with prayer, sound wisdom, and biblical counsel, trust God for the outcome. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Sixth, be willing to admit mistakes and adjust accordingly. In most cases, there is no wisdom in continuing down a wrong path after you have discovered it is wrong. Be willing to admit mistakes or failures and ask God for the grace to change. God's Grace is Sufficient for You; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Read 2
Corinthians12:9. Amen ! Seventh, give praise to God for your success. When your decisions result in personal success, the temptation is to believe it is due to your own power, talent, or genius. However, it is God who blesses our efforts and gives us strength. “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven” (John 3:27). Thanks be unto God for His Word.

The message for the beloved Children of God is - Faithful !

Good afternoon To The Children of The King (message 8/28/18)
The message for the beloved Children of God is - Faithful !
The bible tells us, if we are faithful with very little then we will be faithful with bigger things. Read Luke 16:10, He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Some people may be thinking what is faithful? Let us explore the word a little deeper. Well faithful means, Adhering firmly and devotedly, as to a person, cause, or idea; loyal. Also, worthy of trust for one another. Faith is believing in what is true. Faith has two elements: 1) being convinced of the truth, being certain of reality, having evidence of unseen things, and 2) believing, hoping in, embracing, seizing the truth. Yet Scripture gives examples of situations where belief alone is required, even commanded. Like Peter walking on the water, don't think about it just act and trust God's word. We may fail to keep our word because we lose interest or sight, but God is true to His word. God even requires for us to believe in him when things looks good or bad. The bible says, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, then you have power to move a mountain  ‘Move it from here to there. Some people have very little faith, God said, with man he is limited, but with God there is no limits. Is anything to hard for God? No! Read Jeremiah 32:27,Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? With man impossible, but with God all things are possible, read Matthew 19:26,But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Now, let us look at how faithful God is to us. First God can not lie, He is not like man! Amen. Second, His word is truth. And third, He loves us and wants the best for us, His children. Read Numbers 23:19, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? God never changes his mind, alters his counsels, purposes, and decrees, and never varies in his affections to his people, nor makes void his choice of them, or His covenant with them, his promises, are Yea and Amen. Heavenly Father, we thank you for your faithfulness for us. Let us turn from being faithless to your word, and be true an faithful to you. We are your people, we should walk by faith not by sight. Heaven and earth will pass away, but your word is forever more. Help us Holy Spirit to grow and to be steadfast and unmovable in you. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God is - Where is your Faith !

Good morning To The Children of The King (message for 8/29/18)
The message for the beloved Children of God is - Where is your Faith !

The question for today is, Where is your Faith? I can hear in the spirit some people are thinking who is she to ask that question ? Now, lets get understanding first it's a question from God. Read Proverbs 4:5-9, it's not me that asked this ! Jesus asked, “Where is your faith?” I believe this is the same question the Lord would like to ask us today. Where is your faith? Where or what do you put your trust in? There's a Story told of President Abraham Lincoln. During the Civil War Lincoln met with a group of ministers for a prayer breakfast. One of the ministers said, “Mr. President, let us pray that God is on our side”. President Lincoln’s replied, “No, gentlemen, let us pray that we are on God’s side.” Lincoln reminded those ministers that religion is not a tool by which we get God to do what we want but an invitation to open ourselves to being and doing what God wants. Let's learn to pray  “not my will, but your will be done Lord.” Faith isn't in our name ? Our career? Nor Someone ? True faith, although indestructible, has the potential of increase or decrease, until perfected. Lack of faith is a denial of the sufficiency of Christ as Redeemer and Provider. It is distrust of who He is and His promises. When we distrust the spiritual realities promised to those in the faith, it will be revealed in our mundane earthly lives. Understand this, No human being can live without faith in someone or something. The difference between the believer and non-believer is not that one has true faith and the other does not. They both have faith in something or someone. The difference between the two is the object of their faith. One believes in himself and trusts in his or her own efforts. The believer puts his or her faith in Jesus Christ and trust in God who cares for us and is there to guide us daily. Therefore the believer's life, from start to finish, is a journey of faith. It's in Hebrews 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Again is your faith Living Faith or Dead Faith? Understand, Dead faith would be something like speaking and not moving. Dead faith is the mark of a person who knows the right words, but does not walk the talk. Now, Living faith is the person who has been transformed in heart, soul, strength and mind, moving by the spirit of God.  “Love the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.” Read the book of James it's for those who are unsure in their faith walk. The counsel of James is the way to gain confidence by starting on the inside, not the outward being, your relationship with God will grow in active faith. Thank You Lord for Your Word. Heavenly Father, our prayer today comes from Psalms 139:23-24: Search me, O God, and know my thoughts (hearts); (test me and know my anxious thoughts) And see if there be any wicked (is any offensive) way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. 




Scripture to meditate on in Love!
Paul's Prayer for the Ephesians, and my prayer for Us !
For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-19,That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.



The weekend message for the beloved Children of God - Humbling Yourself !

To The Beloved Children  of The King

The weekend message for the beloved Children of God - Humbling Yourself !
"Grace" is a word you'd expect to find the Apostle Paul using. But here it's in James chapter 4. God's grace helps us in our struggles with sin, in our struggles with the pleasure principle. God's Spirit woos us to him and, as we recognize our sins and humble ourselves in repentance, we receive grace. Let us read James 4:6-11, But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. Here's the general principle. To "submit oneself" it means to come into voluntary obedience to a person, to bend your will to that person's. If you've been proud you need to voluntary bend your will to God's will. In the section previous to this one, James tells his readers that the best way to deal with the lives they live in this fallen world is humbly before God. When we humble ourselves, we are not seeking a way to think poorly of ourselves. Rather humility is turning our eyes away from ourselves and on to God. True humility is a self-forgetfulness. After all, we can only know ourselves truly as we know ourselves in Christ. We can receive God's presence, peace, and love only as we focus on Him and turn our lives daily over to Him.

The word of God tells us to get understanding. What's wrong with speaking against someone? It is wrong because it conflicts strongly with the law of love. The Apostle Paul reminds us, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

Certainly "love" requires us to speak truth, even when it is difficult to do so. But we are required to speak the truth lovingly (Ephesians 4:15). Would we speak against the person in their presence? Is our speech loving? Is it fair? Is it kind? Does it come from offended pride? Understand James says "Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it" (James 4:11-12). How is speaking against a brother like speaking against the law? When a Christian speaks against someone, he is setting himself up as a judge, but a judge who is prejudiced, lacking all the facts, and failing to hear the accused speak in his own defense. Heavenly Father thank you for your love and your word. Amen !


Scripture to meditate on this weekend !Understand this is a command give to us by God !
Read John 13:34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
