Choose to walk in Love !

Love is the way God intended for us all to walk with each other, God is Love and if we are created in his Image we can choose to walk this way, the God kind of Love. The bible says that mankind was created in the image of God, Gen 1:26  God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. [Ps. 104:30; Heb. 1:2; 11:3.]

Gen 1:27  So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. [Col. 3:9, 10; James 3:8, 9.]

When a man or woman chooses to accept the fact that they need God in their lives, and know that life is not really life until they accept Jesus as Lord, then Love is birthed in us!Rom 10:9  Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Rom 10:10  For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.

 I have witnessed what walking in Love can do, and I have witnessed what selfishness can do, I choose LOVE! 

It goes right back to the beginning of Mankind in Genesis  what choices you make can effect you, and others around you. The choice of selfishness can destroy, divide, and have great consequences ! Its a ripple effect, once what was, could no longer be! We don't realize how it can do so much damage around us. We were wired for love, because God created us in His Image and God is Love.1Jn 4:8  He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

1Jn 4:9  In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him.

We make the choice to do either, and we may not see the effects of selfishness right away, but you will see it. Every day people make bad choices, it doesn't have to be that way, but sadly its true. 

Selfishness is a lie, its all about you, not even considering the people around you that love you. Its a lust that can grab hold of you and seduce your thought life! Now Love on the other hand will grant you access into a whole new life, "freedom", because you are relying on the God kind of Love ! Its His love that's gets into you when you Accept Jesus, and its His love that can Love anything, anyone and not see all the faults in people, but you see what God sees! You see what He created in His Image, His likeness. When God looks at all of us, He looks with love, not selfishness, not anger, not disappointment, but He sees a future, and all kinds of possibilities for us. That is the reason why He died, and rose again to give us life, hope and a future in His Love!

Love always wins, and brings with it many rewards, sometimes you may not see them right away but they will manifest! Choose Love !

How to avoid crop failure !

Think of yourself as a farmer, sowing seed, your heart is the ground, and the word of God is the seed being sown. That seed goes somewhere when its thrown down in the natural. In the book of Luke 8:5-8- Jesus paints a picture of a farmer sowing his seed and the different places it fell. As a believer in Christ the word is so important to us, and more important, where is your seed falling, and whats happening to it, we are the ones to make sure of this!

The "path is the first place it is mentioned, lets liken that to  your walk in life, Jesus said "as the seed fell it was trampled on" Hearing the word  the devil can trample on it and steal it!  Then Jesus mentioned the birds of the air ate up the seed that was sown. Now we know their are so many birds out their, but one bird in particular came to my mind as I was thinking about this parable, the " Vulture" interesting read on them.

 The Vulture will move with authority through the skies as if all things are within its rightful ownership. The Vulture is quite content in waiting for what it desires, waiting for hours to get their fair share of resources.

They say nothing, no hoot or hollers, only hissing. Vultures don't need to announce themselves. They're reputation precedes them. Their power is in their purpose.

My  point in relating to this is likened to our" enemy" he is lurking about seeing whom he may devour the word says. 1Pe 5:8  Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.

1Pe 5:9  Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset--rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world.

The seed also fell on rock and when the seed did come up they withered because of no moisture!  It says they received it with joy when they heard it, but they have no root, " no staying power" in time they fall away!

And other seed fell among the thorns, and they choked out the seed.The are the cares, worries of this life, it could be people, the old saying they were a" thorn in my side". That could be the biggest of them, "THORNS" people will offend you and if your not careful it could cause you to walk away from every seeing a harvest in your life. 

Then last the seed falls on good soil which comes up to produce a hundred times more than was sown. I want to be that don't you! 

Jesus said lastly have ears to hear, he who has ears to hear, than hear! Those who hear, and RETAIN IT, " keep it !

He also said though seeing, they may not see; though hearing they may not understand, I believe we have to first respect the word for it to work! It takes perseverance to produce a good crop, so don't give up!

Keys to open up Victory!

Do you see yourself as a  joint heir with Christ, seated with Him? Are you ineffective, are you experiencing defeat? The old saying is true,when you know to do better you will, and with knowledge comes power! That is so true, defeat is a result of living out of the soul realm when we should be living out of our sonship and being a joint heir with Christ
.Rom 8:17  And if we are children, then we are heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; so that if we suffer with Him, we may also be glorified together.

Heb 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

So someone may say I have been trying, and failing, on many levels, I don't know anymore? The first place to start is knowing you are loved! Then comes discipleship, this comes from remaining in his word. Its learning who you are, a Son or daughter of God. Its a place where you die daily, and take up your cross on a daily bases. When you know you are a Son, you then know your an owner of everything He gave to you. These keys become yours to use with power in the name of Jesus! These keys of faith, love, the blood of Jesus,the wisdom of God to handle things. These have  been given to us by his amazing Grace, in the name of Jesus!

Joh 15:7  If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.

Joh 15:8  In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.

Mat 16:19  And I will give the keys of the kingdom of Heaven to you. And whatever you may bind on earth shall occur, having been bound in Heaven, and whatever you may loose on earth shall occur, having been loosed in Heaven.

Use these keys to walk in this Sonship and be led by the Spirit! Its in the name of Jesus that we must know how to use them. These keys unlock 3 worlds for us, Heaven, hell, and earth, and we have been given them. To operate with these keys we must walk with the armor of God at all times! 

Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Eph 6:12  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 Rev 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and he with Me.

He is always knocking at our hearts door, the question is are you listening. Let Him in, He has the answer you need. Times of refreshing with His  presence will come in and refresh you, listen for him knocking! 

The power of His Resurrection made a way for you to get through anything, to get up from anything, it belongs to you, and defies  everything Satan tries to do against you. It stops him in his tracks!

Hearing differently can change everything, face everything in life knowing you are loved, and knowing  Jesus already made a way of VICTORY for you. Refuse to be robbed any longer and walk in your Sonship. your a joint heir in Christ!

Enemies of a Strong Spirit !

It is so vital to have a strong Spirit as a born again Christian, it will keep your enemies from defeating you ! Pro 18:14  The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear?

A weak Spirit will draw all bad things to you, the devil is looking for a home, and when your Spirit is weak its not in a position to resist him. Now a strong Spirit will keep you prosperous, what is it to be truly prosperous? TO DO BETTER! Ignorance is every mans mountain, ignorance will make a failure, truth will give you advantage, and make you free!

What can hold you back from having a strong Spirit and deplete your Spirit, the bible is clear about what we should  do! Heb 12:1  Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

We are to roll the care of every weight that tries to come on us, over on the Lord, He knows what to do with it! Psa 31:15  Hour by hour I place my days in your hand, safe from the hands out to get me.


1Pe 2:11  Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourselves cozy in it. Don't indulge your ego at the expense of your soul.

Making time for the Lord daily is so important. Excuses will be your enemy for sure! Take the answers the Lord has for you, but don't take the care, cast it all over on to the Lord!Luk 10:39  She had a sister, Mary, who sat before the Master, hanging on every word he said.Luk 10:40  But Martha was pulled away by all she had to do in the kitchen. Later, she stepped in, interrupting them. "Master, don't you care that my sister has abandoned the kitchen to me? Tell her to lend me a hand.Luk 10:41  The Master said, "Martha, dear Martha, you're fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing.Luk 10:42  One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it--it's the main course, and won't be taken from her."

This such a great word of advice for each of us, faith comes from hearing the words of the Master. So we must do as Mary and sit and listen, to His every word. When tough times come, and they will, they won't seem so tough. It will be easier to forgive, love, to give, and to rest in Him. Your marriage will come through tough times, and your children will be better for you taking this path in life. This will put you over the top, it will take you to the mountain. Pro 8:34  Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

So the question we should be asking ourselves is, who determines all this to keep our Spirit Strong, and recognize these enemies? It  is clear in scripture, Gal 6:8  For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

I encourage you to keep your Spirit Strong, so when adversity comes, you know you are loved, and hidden in Christ!
