Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus !!!

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

James 1:21 (King James Version)

We are living in a world of sin and it seems to be getting worse as the days draw nearer to the return of Jesus…People go about their business as usual not understanding that Jesus Christ is their answer…Are you in a situation now that seems there is no getting out of??? Turn to Jesus…He is there for you…This world has no answers for you but Jesus has all the answers…What have you got to lose??? You ve already tasted the worlds ways and they are very bitter right now…If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, turn to Jesus…He is the only Truth, the only Way and the only Life…He is waiting !!!

God bless you today with His shalom peace and strength in Jesus name amen !!! All Glory to Him !!!

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus…

Verse One

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Chorus

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Verse Two

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

Chorus

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Verse Three

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Chorus

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Foolishness or the Power of God ???

1 Corinthians 1:17-19 1:17

 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

I woke up this morning with this in my spirit…We can do all sorts of things for the Lord but lets never forget the preaching of His Word…I love to do video’s, I love to search for pics and just the right song to put in those video’s…But it all takes time, precious time…The Holy Spirit cautioned me today to not forget the preaching of His Word…

I am finding that even those who would not listen to the Word before are thanking me for giving It to them…I think because we live in a world that is without hope, and more are searching for a hope to hang on to…When they see or hear the Word of God, that hope springs alive within them…Thats when the Holy Spirit can convict hearts of sin and lead them to the cross of Jesus Christ !!! God is truly destroying all wisdoms that they thought they had and bringing to nothing their understandings…See the things that they have always tried are not working anymore…The sex isn’t quite what it was in the beginning and more and more are getting sick with various diseases from being permiscuous…The drugs just aren’t making them feel the way they did in the beginning, they are starting to take a toll on their lives…The hatred they have lived with now for so long is taking a toll on their lives…The unforgiveness is causing them to lose all family and friends…I could go on and on, but I know you understand what I am talking about…

So, what is the answer? Jesus Christ is the answer…He makes us a new creation in Him when we get saved…11 Corinthians 5:17 says it all…(Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new)… When we come to Jesus for Salvation and we get saved, He makes us a new creation in Him…All those sins are washed away by His Blood…We are made new…No more past with sin, all forgiven and forgotten by Him…And the amazing thing is that He forgives our present and even our future sins as well…Now, before anyone says, Oh that gives us a license to sin…I say no, it doesn’t…But He has made a way for each one of us to still be forgiven if we should sin…All we need to do is repent of that sin and ask His forgiveness…Then we must turn from that thing that is making us sin…If it is being around certain friends that are pulling on you, then step back away from them and be a witness of Jesus Christ to them…They are gonna watch what you do more than what you say for awhile…

Father for that one out here, I ask that You save them…You left the 99 sheep to go out looking for that one…Father convict that ones heart and save them Lord !!! Bring them into Your love and Your Salvation in Jesus name amen… All Glory to God, Shalom !!!

Wisdom !!!

Proverbs 3:13-22 3:13

 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

3:14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

3:15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

3:16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

3:17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

3:19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

3:20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

3:21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

3:22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

Wisdom is better than silver or fine gold…Solomon when asked what he wanted replied, “he wanted wisdom.” And through that wisdom he became the richest man alive at that time…He made many Godly decisions !!! God wants us to have His wisdom…With His wisdom come His strength and His shalom peace and His understanding and His Knowledge…By God’s wisdom and understanding, He created all that we see including ourselves…Wisdom is important !!! Then why do we not see more Christians that are living in wisdom???

The devil knows that if we truly lived in God’s wisdom here, his accusations and his suggestions would fade into nothingness…We would love one another as God says to…We would not judge each other with a hateful heart but would in turn go to them in love and speak out God’s Word to them…We would see more lives touched for God !!! Can you imagine how if every Christian would ask for God’s wisdom and live in that wisdom how many situations could be changed??? Our home lives, those lives in our towns and cities, those lives in our states, those lives within our governments…God has His wisdom for all who will ask…

Father I ask for Your Godly wisdom this day and every day that I live on this earth in Jesus name…Father use Your wisdom in me to make me what You want me to be and to help all those around me in Jesus name amen…All for Your Glory Lord !!!

NO FEAR !!!

God bless ya all today !!!

 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 (King James Version) For those living in any type of fear, I have an answer for you today…His name is JESUS CHRIST !!! When you know Jesus as Saviour and Lord and completely trust in Him, then fear has no part in your life…His perfect love casts out all fear…Fear has torment with it and God is not part of any sin…Torment is a part of sin !!!

If you want an answer to all your fears, then look up with repentance and ask Jesus to forgive you and to come in and live forever…His perfect love that comes into your spirit enables you to say no when fear knocks at the door of your mind…It gives you the right and the power to come against fear with His Word such as is in 1 John 4:18 above !!!

To God be all the Glory !!!

His Prayer For You !!!

Jesus’ Prayer For Us and For those who would come to know Him !!!

 John chapter 17…

 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

17:21 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.

17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

17:23 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.

17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

LIE !!!

John 8:44-45

8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

The Holy Spirit placed within my spirit today to post on the word LIE…This is a spirit and a powerful spirit of which only the Blood of Jesus can be victorious over…I believe that this spirit is a major spirit that attracts other spirits to come and join with it…All people are attacked by this spirit…All people have believed a lie and allowed it into their hearts….

satan is the father of lies…he wanted to be God in the beginning, he actually lied to himself believeing he was already god and he still believes that today…he has lied so long, he has got real good at it…he tries to place in our minds, because remember thats his source of entrance, lies each day…Everyone is vulnerable to his lies, but if you are a “born again” Christian as Jesus talks about in John 3:3, then you have the power in Jesus Christ and His Word to reject any lie that satan would bring to your mind…Remember, it only becomes sin when you entertain the thought and it goes into your spirit…If you are not ”born again” yet, then I would ask that you get alone with God and ask with a repented heart to be forgiven all your sins and allow Jesus to save you…He will and He will make you a new creation in Him…All lies will be in the past, you will be forgiven !!!

Isaiah 42:8…I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images…

God expects Glory to Him in Jesus name…He expects praise to Him !!! If we continually allow the spirit of lies to come in and harrass our lives and let him have his way instead of meeting him at the door of our minds and casting him down, then I believe we will not be able to be used for God’s Glory on this earth…Christians get caught up in lies just as the unsaved do…We must hold onto the Word of God and reject his lies in Jesus name…James 4:7 says…Submit yourself therefore to God; resist the devil and he shall flee…Jesus, when He was tempted three times in the wilderness by satan did nothing but use the Word of God against him…He would say, It is written and then give satan, His Father’s Word !!! So, what makes us think we can do anything different? The Word of God is powerful…If you are tempted to lie or anything else today, use the Word against satan…he will flee in Jesus name…

 

To God be all the Glory !!! Shalom !!!

Condemnation !!!

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

As we all know, we are in a battle and satans strategies sometimes are very subtle…Sometimes he comes in the form of an angel of light of which he was once called, lucifer, and he knows well how to deceive in that faction, he has had many years to practice his deception…

Sometimes we receive a message from someone else that just doesn’t click with what the Spirit of God is telling us, it may sound good but is not from God…I believe that God gives us all different gifts as we see here in 1 Corinthians…satan uses these gifts well too by having another one to speak out something that is false to the believer…We all are given a spirit of discernment to know which ones are from God and which ones are from satan…

When someone comes to you with a message, ask the Holy Spirit whether it be true or not…The Holy Spirit showed me many years ago that He would never speak to another about me until He had prepared me for that message…Sometimes He even comes to me with a message and then sends confirmation through another believer…If the message is from God, take it into your spirit but if it is a false message, reject it quickly in Jesus name…

I believe many have become zealous in what they say and do because they are believing lies, many believe that God would have them be His judgement to everyone else in the body of believers…We are given messages for others but if it is a constant condemnation message, then I would really pray about it…I do not believe that God condemns His children, He chastises them but does not condemn…In (Romans 8:1 the Word says,There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit). If you receive a message from another that is condemning, reject the message and pray for that one giving the message…I see so much unrest in people that are always condemning others…I see no shalom peace in their lives !!!

To God be all the Glory !!! Shalom !!!

NO CONDEMNATION !!!

(Romans 8:1)…There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit…

(Romans 8:9)…But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His…

I have experienced much judgement lately from two others who claim to be born-again Christians…This has prompted me to write this blog in the early morning hour…

(Romans 8:1) says there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk after the Spirit and (Romans 8:9) says if the Holy Spirit indwells you, then you are in the Spirit…We are not to condemn one another…Condemnation is from the evil one(satan) and should never be used by a born-again Christian to get their point across to another Christian…We are to talk peaceably without pointing fingers…We may disagree with one another and thats alright, but when we start beating each other up with the Word of God, then it is wrong…

We are not to judge anyone…(Matthew 7:1-2)…Judge not, that ye be not judged…For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again…

God is our Judge and no one else should judge another…If you have ought with another talk it over, then pray for them, but do not judge !!!

These are the last days, Jesus is coming soon !!! Is He going to come back for a church that is bickering and judging one another? We are to love one another as the Word in (John 13:34) says…A new commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE ONE ANOTHER; as I have loved you, that ye also LOVE ONE ANOTHER…

All Glory to God, Shalom !!!

SHALOM !!!

I have always been drawn to the word “Shalom”…But, I never really understood its complete meaning before someone told me that it literally means, “Nothing missing, nothing broken.” I thought about that meaning and my spirit literally leaped inside of me…There is nothing missing in our lives and nothing broken that cannot be fixed by the Lord Jesus Christ…And in the midst of it, we can have complete shalom peace !!! His Word in (Philippians 4:7 says…And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus)…This peace here is His shalom peace, that nothing missing, nothing broken peace…

Next time the enemy comes to steal your peace, remind him of this Word of God(Philippians 4:7) and let him know that you are given perfect shalom peace and you are abiding in it in Jesus name…Next time he comes to steal your joy, remind him of (Nehemiah 8:10, last part…for the joy of the LORD is your strength)…Next time he comes to steal your strength, remind him of (Philippians 4:13…I can do all things through Christ which strengeneth me)…Next time he comes to you and says, you don’t have enough money to pay this bill or buy groceries, remind him of (Phillippians 4:19…But my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus)…

The enemy can only do to us what we allow him to…Start speaking the Word of God to Him…Whatever you need has already been supplied for you in the Word of God…Too many times we get depressed because we either do not know the Word of God because we do not read It or we complain and allow the enemy of our souls to pick up on that complaint and run all over us with it…The Word of God says in (11 Timothy 2:15…Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth)…

God is waiting to answer prayer for us…Sometimes we ourselves stop that answer by complaining and not praising Him !!! We are to give thanks in all things, that means answers that we have not even seen yet…The Word of God says in (Ephesians 5:19-20…Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;)…

All Glory to God !!! Halleluiah !!!
