"Behold, I SET before you this day a blessing and a curse;" (Deu 11:26)
A Curse?!
- Many are saying: "why would a Holy (Kind, True, Loving, All-Knowing, Merciful, Gracious, Glorious, etc) God set a curse (or evil) before His own people?!"
At creation, God didn't recreate Himself. THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM.(Exo 9:14). God only created the whole universe of beings and things FOR HIS OWN PLEASURE. (Rev 4:11) You just have to be settled on this, and don't be like the devils and judas.
Whatever will NOT give pleasure to God, or that plan to take away or steal, kill and destroy God's pleasurable ones or sources, whatever that thing or person is, that thing or person is cursed. And everyone or things that remains a source of pleasure to God is BLESSED!!!
- Isn't this a very fair and holy deal given by a Holy God?!
Within the LORD's covenant to His redeemed are commandments we all MUST adhere to or abide in. In every kingdom, there are do's and don'ts, and it's no different from the kingdom of God. So within every kingdom or nation, blessing and a curse is embedded within their constitutions. Abide in Christ love for God and ourselves, and you will have fulfilled all His commands, for all our lives are in His hands.
- Disobedience Is A Great SIn.
"And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." (1Sa 15:22)
The LORD has great delight in obedient children, and He blesses them so much. When you diligently take to heart ALL the LORD commanded, and pursue after them to do them, YOU WILL BE greatly blessed to be a blessing!
- Abide Still.
Are you still worried about what people will say for loving God with your all? To obey and do the commands of your LORD should not be negotiable, except you're just faking it.
Some Christians are still in wonderland concerning the things of God. Many give up too soon, and many don't even have a clue to what is happening all around them anymore, and so they run from place to place seeking for what is not.
The Word of God is Christ in flesh, and the Voice of God is the Word of the LORD and Christ (John 1:1-14). Here is where you MUST abide, observe, and adjust all your life around. ALWAYS SEEK FIRST FOR UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM BEFORE SEEKING FOR MIRACLES. When you KNOW what you need, you won't just go for anything. Your discernment will be sharpened, and it will be very difficult to deceive you.
LIFE to me is first Health and then Wealth, and both are promised in the Word of God. People seek after wealth to loose their health (soul, sanity, etc), but in the kingdom of God, its just the opposite: you first gain your soul and sanity, and then WITH EASE, acquire wealth. Which way do you prefer?
[Side Note: The world is yet to see the display of divers glory upon God's children, that will make the world marvel and envious.]
Are you seeking for the Truth? Do you know Him that is the Truth (John 14:6)? "And ye shall know the truth, and the Truth shall make you free." John 8:32.
Your Power.
"Who (Christ) being the brightness of his glory, and THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, and UPHOLDING ALL THINGS by THE WORD OF HIS POWER, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;" (Heb 1:3)
- Your Voice carries your Words, and it is the perfect expression of you.
... and I have just described God as the Father that gave His Word/SON is Voice/SPIRIT in just one simple sentence!
If the enemy can silence your voice, (i.e., the Voice of Truth coming from within your belly), he sure won't hesitate. If all your words are drawn from the Word of God, it definitely has power. And as we all know that the Word of God is truth (John 17:17), and it's power when spoken.
- Releasing The Power Of The Word Of God.
Before the power in the Word of God can be activated, it MUST be spoken. YOU MUST GIVE IT YOUR VOICE OR IDENTITY. Prayer, praise and worship of God in His Word, coming out from a contrite heart, is the ultimate offering God needs from us. Psalm 51:17 says, "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise."
When a contrite heart offer up sacrifices of praise, worship, and prayers unto God, God speedily answers. Every situation or storm has a Word to calm or restore it. When the Word is SPOKEN, DECLARED, OR CONFESSED over the situations, POWER to RESTORE is released.
- The New Creature.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2Co 5:17)
What kind of creature or identity are we talking about here? Can God (Righteous and Holy) and man (Unrighteous and unholy) cohabit the same body or earth? The answer used to be a mysterious YES, but now simply YES!
All that belong to God, and all God is able to do, He gave and did through Christ to be done also through us in Christ.
"And when he (Christ) was come into the temple (your body), the chief priests and the elders of the people (the religious) came unto him as he was teaching (the inner Voice), and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?" (Mat 21:23)
They have asked Christ, and now their children for sure are asking you the exact same question: "...who gave thee this authority?". For the best answer, study the Master's reply from vs 24-46.

Sin and Blessing.
"For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye THROUGH THE SPIRIT do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live." (Rom 8:13)
- Rendering Your Body Useless To Carnalities.
It seems the only way to live in todays world is never going to change for all believers in Christ Jesus. The only way to mortify or crucify the deeds of the body according to the Laws of God is through the Spirit of Christ.
When God said He alone could conquer sin, All His creation believed Him. But when it came to reality, for He had to become first of all exactly like men, which He did through Christ, none could believe their our eyes! They and we kept doubting, saying "Can God really become like us?!"... Yes He did! And He did it all in and through Christ Jesus.
- The Same Spirit and Life.
Now, the same God in Christ Jesus is in us today by His Spirit. Therefore, through the Spirit of Christ, which is the Spirit of God Himself, God is now able to do and do, over and over again, all that He did in and through Christ in us today!
If we all acknowledge the presence of the Holy Spirit of God and His Christ IN us, through the same Spirit we will accomplish all Christ was able to do. "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption:" (1Co 1:30)

Are you Redeemed?
When Sin is crushed, the gateway to the Abrahamic blessing is opened, for Gal 3:13-14 says that:
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." (Gal 3:13-14). The whole blessing of Abraham can only come to the redeemed through the promised Spirit of Christ.
"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law." (1Cor 15:55-56). To continue to live by yourself, you can NEVER fulfill all the Laws without breaking any. To live through the Spirit of Christ, Who through Christ has crushed sin and swallowed up death, you're assured of fulfilling every bit of the law 100% of the time and at all times, AS YOU REMAIN IN CHRIST.
At The Door.
"BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR, AND KNOCK: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." (Rev 3:20)
Who's At The Door?!
There is only one Person knocking at the door of your heart, and it's the LORD Himself! And you can't deny hearing the Voice of His Holy Spirit. The thief will never come in (knocking) through the door, ONLY the LORD will patiently wait for your response. And your response is urgently needed.
The Much Needed Help. (Ps 46:1)
The LORD says "Behold, I STAND at the door, and KNOCK:..", Please, don't keep your REST (Joy and Peace) out in the cold. All your needs WILL be met when you let Him in into your heart. You will not lack food, for He said " I will come in to him, and will SUP with him, and he with Me." Every last drop of provision will surely be supernaturally multiplied. ONLY OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART TO HIM.

Hear and Do.
Today, some claim they hear their inner voice or conscience speak. Many still do not hear anything except the public news and gossips. In your house, who is supping with you? Is it the LORD or the enemy? Can you even tell the difference? If it's the LORD dwelling with you, then you might want to read more on The Porter.
O Vipers!
"O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for OUT OF the abundance of the heart the mouth (tongue) speaketh" (Mat 12:34).
The Generation of Vipers.
When someone clearly disregard God's Word, how thinkest thou that such a person treasure God in his heart?! Anyone you know that fits this description is a Viper!
The scriptures says that: No matter how tightly shut or how eloquote these vipers might have become, anytime and every time they open their mouths to speak, pay attention and watch, their words are NEVER good.
What Is In Your Heart?
A heart filled in abundance with everything else but God, is naturally and surely filled with evil thoughts and imaginations, and NOTHING good can come out of such hearts. "A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things." (vs 35).
If God is your treasure, your heart will be filled with His Presence, Light and Life. [For more on treasures, please read my blog titled: Laying Up Treasures.
How They Condemn.
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."(vs 37) ...
People that don't treasure God, won't treasure God's Word. Watch out for their enticing words to never let them into your heart and mind. When you allow their words into your heart, they will poison your mind and darken your heart.
Outcry For "Common Ground".
When these vipers are about to strike, they tell you to "Forget all about God, and let us have a debate"... This they will do over and over again, driving out the light of God in you to usher in the power of darkness, which is a three step process:

Ability & Talent.
"And unto one He gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO his several ability; and straightway took his journey." ... "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN." (Mat 25:15, Eph 4:8)
HIGH POINTS:
1... The LORD gave according to everyone's inherent abilities. Therefore, some are bound to make more talents/money than others for divinely designated purposes.
2... Every kingdom has their own LEGAL TENDER, so also is the kingdom of God. Talent therefore represent money, wealth, riches, substance, etc) that must be traded for increase. You don't sit down on or bury talents, instead, you're to double, triple or quadruple its use through the several ability of Christ in you.
3... Your abilities constantly pulls the equivalent quantity of talent your way for your increase. These abilities are IN you to be discovered and perfected. Take for example, the "Gift of Discernment", with this gift alone you can avoid bad business deals or contacts, and go for the best. If you don't get this right, what is meant to bring REST might end up frustrating you.
"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 (money, wealth, riches, substance, etc)." (Mat 6:24)
Many abilities today are being focused only on self and no more on glorifying God with our talents.

~ Re-alignment.
Abilities and Talents cannot be separated in glorifying God. To leave one for the other can be very frustrating. Learn to glorify God the right way He has laid down for us, without sorrow. Isn't that what Prov 10:22 says?!
"The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it."
Laying Up Treasures.
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Mat 6:21)
Whosoever that LOVE God with the whole of his heart, soul, mind, strength, and might; has made God his treasure. If you truly love God, you definitely love Christ. Material treasure like gold, silver, etc, are not to be compared with the spiritual ones like love, joy, peace, etc.
The great difficulty people face when they focus on the material is not so with when you first focus on the spiritual ones. When you've mastered or been perfected by love, joy, peace, etc; your heart then decide where your material treasure should be.
To the all the disciples of Christ Jesus, I say:: "FOR WHERE YOUR HEART IS, THERE WILL YOUR TREASURE BE ALSO."

~ Strong Meat.
There should be a course set before every believer of Christ in becoming more perfect or discipled. Our focus should be set strong on the spiritual treasures and not on material ones. To be heavenly minded is very discerning and wise.
If you let your material treasure control you, you're still immature. Let your heart control your material treasure. NOBODY FORCE'S OR ENTICE SOMEONE WHO'S HEART IS SET STRONG ON GOD TO GIVE ALL THAT HE HAS, THE MAN'S HEART DOES THAT. Let us be sold all out for God, His Christ, and Kingdom.
Let your heart follow after The Love of his(your) life, that is, Christ Jesus. And your material treasure will and should follow suit.
Seed and Tree.
"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:" (Isa 55:10)
The seed gives birth to the tree, and the tree in turn gives life. The Sower gives seeds that must be planted on good ground (the heart), which will in turn grow into a tree that gives life. The Word of God is as a Seed, that when it is sown, it brings forth the Tree of Life. THE GARDEN OF GOD IS IN YOUR HEART.
~ The Tree of Life.
The Word of God in your spirit grows into the Tree of Life.
The world is looking for to consume the Tree of life upon their sin to never die again, but we thank God for preventing this. The Sword and Cherubs are watching at the gates of the Holy City where the Tree of life is. LIKEWISE, THE GARDEN OF GOD WHERE THE TREE OF LIFE IS, IS IN YOUR HEART. Your heart is your spirit, "the connector", and there is no distance in the spirit...it's all Now and Forever more!
"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:" (Gen 3:22) ... Eternity is already in our spirits!
If you can't find your spirit man or operate in the spirit, you can't have access to This Tree of Life. The Word of God given to you will not grow into the Tree of Life without the right ground. Without the right kind of heart, many things will not work for you, even if you're a believer. You heart must be prepared to receive the Seed of the Word of God that will grow into the Tree of life, then can you pluck fruits for nourishment and the leaves (herbs) for your healing and for others, AT ALL SEASONS (Read Psalm 1:1-3).
The heart is very crucial in living the life of God, and the 30, 60, and 100 fold harvests is determined by it. Many look outward instead of inward to determine their harvest. Jesus strongly warned us about this: "Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." (John 4:35) ... you have to LOOK with the right set of eyes (spiritual) unto the right ground (your heart). THE HARVEST IS ANYTIME YOU ARE READY, AND NOT WHEN THEY ARE READY.

Accountability.
"BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and BEFORE thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Jer 1:5)
~ Before You Could Think.
Before you could start using your mind, God had ordained you for a purpose. YOU DID NOT DECIDE THIS BUT GOD ALONE DID. Therefore, DO all you can to make your calling and election sure (2Pet 1:10). You are not accountable to anyone but GOD.
~ Before You Could Think.
Before you could start using your mind, God had ordained you for a purpose. YOU DID NOT DECIDE THIS BUT GOD ALONE DID. Therefore, DO all you can to make your calling and election sure (2Pet 1:10). You are not accountable to anyone but GOD.
Before you became you, God had you in His mind to become someone He has ordained you for. Before your mind became fully functional, you have been ordained for a purpose. Find out everything about God's purpose for you, and begin to WORK IT OUT TILL YOU FIND REST FOR YOUR SOUL.
"For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world." (Heb 4:3). If you don't first find This purpose, you can't have His rest. He had you in His mind before He worked out anything about you, you also have to find out His purpose for your life BEFORE "working" into His rest.
~ Your Whole Heart, Mind and Body.
If these three are not in agreement about the purpose for your life, you can NEVER find rest within you. "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mat 16:26). If you can't find rest inside of you, nothing outside can satisfy you. Seek God with the whole of you and you will find rest, or your ordained purpose, or "place of rest", or "the Garden".
~ When We Start To Love.
Love is perfect, and it brings perfection. "But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." (1Co 13:10). To find God's perfect rest, you must LOVE. The inside rest we seek for, can only be gotten from first loving God, and then our neighbour as ourselves.
~ How To Love.
This is simply saying "How To Be Perfected" God's own way. To love God and be perfected, it must be in unity of body, soul, and spirit. "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment." (Mat 22:37-38).
To be accountable, you must be perfected through LOVE, loving God with everything, and others as yourself. It is either we learn to love God first which makes it very easy to love others, or love others to show we love God, IT ALL MUST START FROM THE INSIDE.

The Path Of Life: JOY.
"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are PLEASURES FOR EVERMORE." (Psa 16:11)
[HAPPY - is "feeling pleasure and enjoyment BECAUSE of your life, situation, etc... Pleased or glad about a particular situation, event, etc.", and JOY - is "a feeling of great happiness. A SOURCE or cause of great happiness. Something or SOMEONE that gives joy to someone." Merriam-Webster online dictionary.]
# The Strength Of Happiness.
When you meditate on the quoted psalm, you will understand why we MUST trust only in the LORD. It's either you have received Christ into your heart/Life or not. Psa 20:7 says that "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God." [Please read Neh 8:10, This Joy is life!]
~ "In thy Presence..."
To be in the LORD's presence is to be full of Joy! His presence ALONE is what brings eternal life. You can't be filled with joy without Him being present, and you can't have unending victories without Him being present.
~ "At thy Right hand..."
When the lines are falling in pleasant places, we know we are filled with His joy and are eternally happy. At the right hand of the LORD is our resting place. When we are seated at His right hand, we are seated in the place of authourity!
~ Is Christ Your Only SOURCE?
To be happy, you need to be joyful. And to be joyful, you need Christ Jesus as your ONLY source. To be joyful, you must be full of Christ.
But how? It only has to be through the Word of God like you are reading now. "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." (Mat 6:22), and Christ is the Word of God that brings this Light, which is the Life of God (John 1:1-14).
~ The Fruit Of The Spirit: JOY.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, JOY, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." (Gal 5:22-23)
NOTHING that was created can come against his or its Creator. When you find yourself in the presence of your Creator, Maker and God, you are (being) filled up with joy as you abide, and you remain happy forever more. And this is unlike the kind of happiness we see in the world that do not know Christ. Those that do not know Christ, DO NOT HAVE THIS JOY.
Joy in the heart is crucial and absolutely needed to have a long lasting happiness (or manifestations) in life. IMPORTANT: YOU CAN NOT BE HAPPY OR HAVE UNENDING PLEASURES WITHOUT THIS JOY OR HIS PRESENCE.
[HAPPY - is "feeling pleasure and enjoyment BECAUSE of your life, situation, etc... Pleased or glad about a particular situation, event, etc.", and JOY - is "a feeling of great happiness. A SOURCE or cause of great happiness. Something or SOMEONE that gives joy to someone." Merriam-Webster online dictionary.]
# The Strength Of Happiness.
When you meditate on the quoted psalm, you will understand why we MUST trust only in the LORD. It's either you have received Christ into your heart/Life or not. Psa 20:7 says that "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God." [Please read Neh 8:10, This Joy is life!]
~ "In thy Presence..."
To be in the LORD's presence is to be full of Joy! His presence ALONE is what brings eternal life. You can't be filled with joy without Him being present, and you can't have unending victories without Him being present.
~ "At thy Right hand..."
When the lines are falling in pleasant places, we know we are filled with His joy and are eternally happy. At the right hand of the LORD is our resting place. When we are seated at His right hand, we are seated in the place of authourity!
~ Is Christ Your Only SOURCE?
To be happy, you need to be joyful. And to be joyful, you need Christ Jesus as your ONLY source. To be joyful, you must be full of Christ.
But how? It only has to be through the Word of God like you are reading now. "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." (Mat 6:22), and Christ is the Word of God that brings this Light, which is the Life of God (John 1:1-14).
~ The Fruit Of The Spirit: JOY.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, JOY, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." (Gal 5:22-23)
NOTHING that was created can come against his or its Creator. When you find yourself in the presence of your Creator, Maker and God, you are (being) filled up with joy as you abide, and you remain happy forever more. And this is unlike the kind of happiness we see in the world that do not know Christ. Those that do not know Christ, DO NOT HAVE THIS JOY.
Joy in the heart is crucial and absolutely needed to have a long lasting happiness (or manifestations) in life. IMPORTANT: YOU CAN NOT BE HAPPY OR HAVE UNENDING PLEASURES WITHOUT THIS JOY OR HIS PRESENCE.
The Intercessor and Intercessions!
"And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh INTERCESSION for the saints ACCORDING to the will of God." (Rom 8:27)
~ Do You Know The Will Of God For You?
The whole chapter of Roman 8 is packed full of wonderful things about God, and His specific WILL for every single individual saint. God said this to Prophet Jeremiah in (Jer 1:5): "BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I KNEW thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I SANCTIFIED thee, and I ORDAINED thee a prophet unto the nations."
If God is still the same yesterday, today and forever more, then He hasn't changed. Therefore, before you were born, you existed (in spirit) with God, was sanctified in your mother's womb, and ordained for a PURPOSE. [Note that this applies to every Believer in Christ today.]
~ Who Knows Your Purpose in Life?
The Holy Spirit of course! He is the One that searcheth God's Heart and yours to know your "complete makeup", and HE CEASELESSLY AND PERSISTENTLY NEVER STOP MAKING INTERCESSIONS FOR YOU ACCORDING TO GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE!
~ This Intercession!
How can anyone survive the onslaughts of the enemy without the Intercessor/Helper/
[Prayer: Now that you know the Spirit of God that neither sleep nor slumber is making intercessions on your behalf, you shall surely fulfill your ordained purpose in life through Christ Jesus. And God will speedily send you all the help in all your time of need. Amen.]
~ Be Renewed.
Are still being led by the Spirit of God? "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." (Rom 8:14)
Do you know your Father in heaven? Does God answer your prayers and wipe off your tears too? "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." (Rom 8:15)
How sure are you in knowing God hear's and always answer you? If you're not sure, then you need a glimpse of knowledge into the operation of the Great Intercessor living inside of you!

"Thou Shalt Love".
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
And THOU SHALT LOVE the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, SHALL BE IN THINE HEART:" (Deu 6:4-6)
~ What is Love?
Simply read 1Cor 13:1-13 to AVOID its misinterpretation. Here are some of the definitions of love/charity (vs 4-8):
Love:-
1...Suffereth long, and is kind.
2...Envieth not.
3...Vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.
4...Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.
5...Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
6...Never faileth.
~ Why You Can't But Fall Into tHis Love.
"And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which THOU BUILDEDST NOT, And houses full of all good things, which THOU FILLEDST NOT, and wells digged, which THOU DIGGEDST NOT, vineyards and olive trees, which THOU PLANTEDST NOT; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;" (Deu 6:10-11)
There is no other way around this, you either LEARN to love or not. This love is asking for All of you, to give All to you. You can't love anyone greater than this. Thank God, it's now both ways! He first loved us, and now we love Him, because the Holy Spirit is helping us divinely love the LORD too. It's a love that must fully occupy your whole being: YOU JUST HAVE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE LORD!
~ A Loveless World.
This is simply "a world" devoid of the LORD's presence.
You don't want to be a citizen of this "loveless world" or "kingdom of darkness" in this world. Where you want to be is in the Kingdom of God and of His Christ, where the glorious light of God, filled with the divine love of God is in full operation.
If you love God by the help of the Holy Spirit, YOU WILL NEVER WANT IT TO END. If you are yet to love God, you need the help of the Holy Spirit to rightly do so.
And THOU SHALT LOVE the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, SHALL BE IN THINE HEART:" (Deu 6:4-6)

Flesh and Spirit.
"Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?" (Gal 3:3)
~ How can a man (flesh) work the spirit?
Surely there must be a "connection" somewhere that will enable a man to operate things in the spirit. Otherwise, you do not deserve to be called "foolish".
~ How (Not) To Be Foolish.
"O foolish Galatians, who hath BEWITCHED you, that ye should NOT OBEY THE TRUTH, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been EVIDENTLY set forth, crucified among you?" (vs 1)
Inspite of glaring evidence, the Galatians were denying the truth of the Cross. This wasn't at all normal to Apostle Paul who clearly diagnosed (or discerned) that the Galatian Christians have been bewitched!
~ Can a Christian be bewitched?
Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Many things could cause this bewitching in a Christian. When a spirit filled Christian is gradually drawn away from the truth, through seductions of his senses, he becomes spiritually blind or is bewitched. [It is very IMPORTANT to note that I didn't say these Christians are witches, but that they've been bewitched.]
~ How To Know You or Someone is Bewitched.
If you're finding it more and more difficult to SEE and OBEY the truth, you've being bewitched. This could be very difficult to see by them that have been bewitched, because their minds have been FLOODED with lies and all kinds of deception.
~ A witch or bewitched?
When the MIND is not renewed daily, it tend to war against its own HEART. A bewitched (or blinded) Christian is in a great conflict within himself. He fights against the very same Word he claims to be in agreement with, and this is nothing but foolishness.
"For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, NOT WILLINGLY, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." (Rom 8:19-21)
Many Christians are bewitched and many more are being bewitched daily, and are gradually being shut out of the glorious light (Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding) of the things of God. This blindness is not to be taken lightly because those underneath it DO NOT KNOW, and therefore, they are in HOPELESS situations.

Faith and Law.
"But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH... And THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH:" (Gal 3:11-12)
~ How To Live And Not Die.
The Just (or Justified) shall live by faith, else they are starved to death.
Faith need's a substance or an evidence to justify anyone, and it's Christ Jesus. So the faith we need to live is of Christ. The Christ Jesus that we all await His second coming has always been with us through this faith. We see, hear, touch, and know Him as we are one with Him through THIS faith.
How long we live is determined by this faith that present the substance and evidence of Christ Jesus. And IF We choose to live, IT MUST BE IN AND THROUGH THIS FAITH.
~ Why Do We Need Christ's Faith?
Sin came into this world through the breaking or transgression of the law of God, and through sin death reigned. The only way out of sin and death is to be justified of the law, which is IMPOSSIBLE for them UNDER the reign of sin and death.
"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." (Gal 3:24), because "THE LAW IS NOT OF (THIS) FAITH". It is only when we are able to see that we CANNOT OF OURSELVES save ourselves, that we see the urgent need for a Saviour and Helper, which is Christ Jesus.
~ The Law is NOT of Faith.
Incase you might not yet know, doing the law yourself is NOT of faith. To live everyday WITHOUT breaking a single law of God is IMPOSSIBLE for those under sin and death. Without a Saviour or Helper from outside of sin and death, YOU HAVE NO HOPE.
The Law says you can do it yourself, but faith says Christ has done it for you! For has long as the deception of believing in self is permitted, that is how long you remain in the bondage of sin and death. To live far above sin and death, you need a Saviour/Helper Who is Christ Jesus.
Things of FAITH is of the HEART, and you just have to BELIEVE and SAY it to be JUSTIFIED and made RIGHTEOUS! Accept Christ into your heart today and confess Him right now, and you are SAVED. There is no other Way than this. Christ Jesus is the ONLY way of SALVATION through our mouths (tongues), and NOT the selfish workings of the LAW.

The Cross: Time 2 Look Up.
"And there shall be SIGNS in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth DISTRESS OF NATIONS, with PERPLEXITY (Inability to understand); the sea and the waves roaring (Tsunamis);...
Men's HEARTS FAILING them FOR FEAR, and FOR LOOKING AFTER those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." (Luke 21:25-26)
~ IT'S STILL BACK TO THE CROSS.
Every Believer MUST learn to carry his cross daily. YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE CROSS FOR A MINUTE SECOND AND STILL EXPECT GOD TO SAVE YOU FROM THE STORM. "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." (Luke 9:23)
You must carry your cross with you anywhere you go. Let not your heart fail you for fear of these signs that will surely cause drastic weather patterns. Stop looking sadly after these signs, but instead, choose to stay focused on Christ, and let your heart follow after Him...for Christ said in Luke 21:19 that:
"In your patience possess ye your souls." ...It's all up to you to carry your cross and follow after Christ and not signs.
~ Signs are our Clues.
When are you going to start looking up to God and follow after Christ daily carrying your cross? When?!
Why are people neglecting these heavenly signs involving the Sun, Moon, and Stars? Don't we know that these are the causes of climatic changes that is affecting almost everything on Earth? Droughts, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Extreme weather, etc are simply signs that the Earth is groaning or restabilizing herself.
Economic distress and social unrest surely follows after these signs, and people's senses are deadened and insensitive. They have eyes but can't see, and ears that can't ear anymore. Getting rich at all cost is the only thing they are all pursuing. Wake Up! Wake Up!! Wake Up!!!

The Cross and Death.
~ To go to the Cross, is to never come back to life.
To be condemned to the death on the Cross (or nailed to the judgement Tree) is an event full of many surprises. NO ONE that has been condemned has ever lived to tell of how excruciating it all felt, EXCEPT Christ Jesus.
~ The final place of battle over life is the Cross.
If you can endure the whole process of "Death on the Cross", and then come back from death's eternal claws, you have surely and absolutely conquered death, and DEATH being a force the Devil uses to keep souls in eternal bondage.
~ To live, you must first conquer death.
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." (Pro 18:21)
The ONLY way to conquer death is through the Cross. You just have to LOOK UP, pay attention, and focus on the Cross to have the victory over death, else death is lurking in your shadow (that is, your Ignorance).
# The Power of saying what we believe.
No matter the situations you find yourself, ALWAYS FIND WAYS TO SAY EXACTLY WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE THE TRUTH. Right there in the tongues of a believer is the power and authourity over death and life. How dare we keep silent in the face of deception when we know we have this authourity over the use of these forces of life - that is, Life and Death?!
If the enemy can make you zip tight your mouth, he has won. YOUR TONGUE IS YOUR POWER, USE IT WISELY. LIFE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH...SPEAK LIFE; GIVE LIFE; AND BIRTH LIFE, NOT KILL IT.
~ Be very wise with your tongue and don't be foolish.
"Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee."
...BUT....!
"It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools." (Prov 9:8 and Ecc 7:5)

The Cross.
"And as Moses lifted up the (fiery) serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:" (John 3:14)... "And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live." (Num 21:8)
~ When we steadfastly LOOK UP to God, what do we see?
We are supposed to SEE the victory of the Cross of Christ. The enemy, the fiery serpent of old, is FOREVER NAILED TO THE POLE TO NEVER COME DOWN. Whenever stormy situations arises in our lives, we are to look up to victory! See the enemy nailed forever to the Tree, where he will never come down.
~ The Same Serpent that deceived Eve.
Jesus coming down from the Cross, or Tree (i.e., His Resurrection) is forever our victory, and the fiery Serpent/Devil in Genesis 3 didn't come down from the tree. This is what the Cross symbolises if you don't know. Christ fought the devil at the cross and won the battle forever! NEVER LOSE THIS PICTURE...KEEP IT HIDDEN IN YOUR HEART, FOR IT IS LIFE.
~ Bitten by serpents.
Have you been bitten by poisonous serpents like Cancer, Diabetes, HIV, etc? Do you feel your life is slipping away and theres nothing you can do about it?
DON'T GIVE UP, LOOK UP! Look up to God and His Christ on the Cross and SEE the victory. You have to SEE to LIVE. The storm is raging all over the world, and it's the same old Serpent that is hidden behind it. If the devil can blind you with the storm, his little poisonous serpents will bite you.
The great deception is to make you not look up but always down at the little demons that will make your heart faint. LOOK UP! LOOK UP!! LOOK UP!!! IF YOU CAN SEE THIS VICTORY, YOU WILL LIVE AND NOT DIE!

ASK, and KNOW.
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" (Mat 7:7)
To all God's promises, you ALWAYS have a part/role to play. To sit down and do nothing won't move nothing. "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, THAT WILL I DO, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." (John 14:13) If don't ASK IN HIS NAME, you are wasting your time and cries.
~ But how should we ask?!
1- Become ONE with the Word.
"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." (John 15:7) We have to become ONE with the Word in our Hearts (that is, our thoughts and meditations) and actions. As this process of renewal is faithfully adhere to, our thoughts are changed! The holy Spirit brings to our remembrance the key scriptures for every situation, and then we move in that light.
2- ASK (or make demands) IN HIS NAME.
"Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ASK, and YE SHALL RECEIVE, that your joy may be full." (John 16:24) Jesus then said that from henceforth we MUST ALWAYS ASK FOR EVERYTHING IN HIS NAME.
If we faithfully follow after the instructions of Jesus, and obtain answers to every situations in life, we will be filled with this fruit of the Spirit - JOY! [Read Gen 18:17-21].
~ Know how to ASK.
If you don't know how to ask, how would you receive anything from the LORD and even men? We must learn how to ASK both spiritually and physically, else many will suffer and cry in vain. And many will think bad thoughts that God and His Christ are not able to deliver.
"And the LORD said, SHALL I HIDE FROM ABRAHAM THAT THING WHICH I DO; Seeing (knowing) that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?" (Gen 18:17-18)
The LORD knows it will be impossible to lead people and nations without supernatural insights and knowledge. Many things are happening and many people are clueless about it all. They just can't discern anything the LORD is doing because of their darkened hearts or spiritual blindness. If we know we are the "seeds" of Abraham the righteous man, how come we think thoughts like the blind and lost?!
NOTHING SHOULD HAPPEN WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE. And if anything should happen without our knowledge, we have to know what caused it and make the necessary adjustments. This is who we are as disciples of Christ Jesus. DO WE STILL HAVE TRUE PROPHETS IN THE LAND? If you have, listen and see what they are pointing at, and earnestly make the adjustments according to the Word of knowledge.
To all God's promises, you ALWAYS have a part/role to play. To sit down and do nothing won't move nothing. "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, THAT WILL I DO, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." (John 14:13) If don't ASK IN HIS NAME, you are wasting your time and cries.
~ But how should we ask?!
1- Become ONE with the Word.
"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." (John 15:7) We have to become ONE with the Word in our Hearts (that is, our thoughts and meditations) and actions. As this process of renewal is faithfully adhere to, our thoughts are changed! The holy Spirit brings to our remembrance the key scriptures for every situation, and then we move in that light.
2- ASK (or make demands) IN HIS NAME.
"Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ASK, and YE SHALL RECEIVE, that your joy may be full." (John 16:24) Jesus then said that from henceforth we MUST ALWAYS ASK FOR EVERYTHING IN HIS NAME.
If we faithfully follow after the instructions of Jesus, and obtain answers to every situations in life, we will be filled with this fruit of the Spirit - JOY! [Read Gen 18:17-21].
~ Know how to ASK.
If you don't know how to ask, how would you receive anything from the LORD and even men? We must learn how to ASK both spiritually and physically, else many will suffer and cry in vain. And many will think bad thoughts that God and His Christ are not able to deliver.

The Kingdom of God.
"Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick." (Luke 9:1-2)
Many will do anything to have power, that is, the power to oppress and depress their fellows. They want the power to dominate and rule over everyone and things, believing in a lie. Please note that THIS IS NOT THE POWER CHRIST HAS GIVEN US.
Christ kind of power is to oppress and depress demonic spirits, and cure human beings of the diseases (and might be considered the symptoms of intrusions of demonic spirits). POWER OVER DEMONIC SPIRITS AND AUTHORITY OVER DISEASES ON EARTH. This is what we are to know, practice and preach to win souls over into the kingdom of God!

# Power to Serve.
The power and authourity of God is given to believers that have been discipled, to RULE IN SERVICE. It is for setting people free from all the oppression of the devil. IT IS FOR GIVING LIFE TO PEOPLE AND NOT FOR SELFISH CONSUMPTION OR AMASSING OF WEALTH.
You can't be given this kind of power if you're not ready to serve as commanded: HELP OTHERS LIVE A BETTER, HIGHER OR DIVINE LIFE. And this power work's as you LOVE OTHERS AS YOURSELF.
