LOVE WALK !

 Is our version of love based on our feelings? Love can be one of the hardest areas in the Christian walk, if we don't allow " His Love" in us to teach us! Whats Love got to do with it? It's everything in our walk as Christians. Galatians 5:6- Faith which works by Love. 

Love never fails, if we don't have love we gain nothing in this life. Its Christ love in us, that we can love the way he does, we just need to tap into that, believe it, and start exercising it by faith! Love is patient, it is kind, not self-seeking, boastful, proud, rude, easily angered, it does not keep score of how many times you were wronged. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE NEVER FAILS!

Once I got the revelation that my Faith was useless without this LOVE WALK, I made a quality decision to be obedient. At first it wasn't always easy at times I will admit, it certainly has become easier once you start practicing it, Grace and more Grace! Why would we waste our energy and time praying and believing for things without this LOVE WALK. If we struggle with an issue of love towards someone, the best thing to do is be honest with the Lord. Don't take it to others but deal with it through prayer," but deal with it." I want to use these verses  in the bible to show how Jesus dealt with this particular situation. Matthew 14:1-14

John the Baptist was murdered and behead while in prison, when Jesus got word that this happened he withdrew in a boat to a solitary place. It says in the word that people followed him on foot. When Jesus landed and saw the crowd, COMPASSION AND LOVE were the only force he operated in, after hearing such devastating news about John the Baptist. He used that to defeat what Satan tried to do against the Kingdom of God. Instead of striking out against Herod, he was move with the GOD KIND OF LOVE. He didn't allow his feelings to react and allowed what the word said! Satan couldn't trap Jesus with the sense realm, I'm sure Jesus felt sad emotions! He is a example for us what we can do, and how to deal with things like this. Our adversary is the devil not man! It is not time to curse the darkness, but to praise the LORD, and pray, just as Jesus did in that scripture.

Jesus stepped out with acts of compassion and healed the sick that day, he truly acted with the God kind of Love! 1Corinthians 13 - And now I will show you the more excellent way.

It may sound strange to some but the walk of love is freedom! LOVE is the mother to your FAITH!
Herod was not Jesus enemy, and Jesus knew that. It is for us the same today! The Love walk is freedom from fear, no more fear of what people can do to you. No fear of Satan, no fear of the curse, no more of unjustified fear of God.

Selfishness is the foundation of fear, love is the foundation of faith! If God be for you who can be against you, what can man do to you.

1John 4:17- God is Love . Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement, because in this world we are like him, There is no fear in love . But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.. We love because he first loved us. If anyone  says, I love God, yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he given us this command, Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Love flushes out fear! We just need to keep renewing our mind to this truth, it is freedom!!

Let us go over to the other side!

Those were Jesus words in Mark 4:35- "Let us go over to the other side". Jesus had been teaching all day at the sea side, then at the end of the day he said those words to his disciples. They left the crowd and  did as he asked! Its what happened that caught them off guard, a furious squall came up and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. And the whole time Jesus was asleep on a cushion.

Have you ever had the Lord direct you to go somewhere," to the other side"? Then it just seems that a storm has hit your life, and you are being swamped with circumstances! Only to make you think, why did Jesus direct me to go this way?  Which leads you to "say", where are you Jesus, it seems like you are not there, it seems like you are sleeping through all this storm? We all have had that feeling at one time, we would be lying if we said we didn't feel that! The disciples were obviously feeling that same way!

They forgot who was with them in that boat, they forgot every word Jesus was teaching them prior to getting in that boat! Jesus had been teaching them in Mark 4, how Satan comes to choke the word with pressures and cares of the world., making it unfruitful. I have been caught up with that myself, the moment you get some report, maybe about a unsuspecting bill that came in the mail. It feels like a massive storm, and you react the wrong way, saying the wrong things, only then to ask the Lord to forgive you for you attitude. It could be an attack with your health. I had a really bad reaction where my whole face had swelled up. I really had to keep my self from not getting into fear. I really looked horrible, I didn't even want to look in the mirror. I did go to the doctors, but I had to stay positive and keep my thoughts and words on Him!

Do you know what all those reactions are related to? It is all fear based reactions. Its either FAITH OR FEAR! Jesus did not leave them or put them in harms way, no I think he wanted them to react with faith, and to speak to that situation themselves.They made natural choices instead of supernatural, "FEAR ENTERED THERE THINKING".

That feeling of fear will lie to you every time, and say your not going to make it, where is the money coming from to pay that bill. I thought this was your will for me Lord, I went to the other side and this is what happens! If you have got Jesus in your boat, and you are listening and obeying to his words, walking with him, then know this he will never leave you or forsake you! John 16:33- I have told you these things , so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. So whatever we face, he has overcome it, we should say " I REUSE TO FEAR".  We should Speak to the storms in our life, don't let those storms speak to you!

Today is no different than when the disciples walked the earth, we have to believe and posses what the Lord promised. We can't allow worry, fear, sickness, lack to be our LAND, OR GET INTO OUR BOAT! If you are a man or woman of FAITH, than we should not live by "sight" what the world dictates.  Faith is what pleases God, its easy to slip back into living in our touch, feel, see world. That is not faith, we don't get this way over night, but at some point we have to make that choice to possess the Land of living in Faith!

Proverbs 1:33- Whoever listens to me will live in safety, and be at ease without fear of harm.

Hold on to the promises in the bible there are so many, he love you!

What It means to Honor God!

Do you ever think about what it means to fear the Lord? Have you heard wrong doctrines preached to you that if you do this or that God is out to get you? Is your Image of Him marked with wrong thoughts? All it means to" fear the Lord " is to honor him, respect him, to reverence him, to honor the blood that was paid for us! He is so worthy to have all this respect, and I want to share with you through scripture and my understanding of what I have come into!

The church in Acts is a good book to see how they lived, and found success, and  grew in numbers, signs and wonders and why they did. 

 Acts 9:31- Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened ;and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord.

That is a good example right there for the church today, we should not loose the fear of the Lord, and what the benefits are to doing so! I believe in order to to truly walk with the Lord we must have this truth (key) working in our lives! Deuteronomy 10:12 - And now O Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all soul, and to observe the Lord's commands and decrees that I giving you today for your own good. This is not a REQUEST, its a REQUIREMENT! If you look at that scripture, whats the first thing its saying? It is saying to fear the Lord before you can walk in ALL HIS WAYS, and from there you will be able to love him, and from there you can serve him with your whole heart and soul! 

Do you know that having the fear of the Lord is a gift to us? It will keep us from going our own stupid way, and getting out of the Grace of God. Thank God for praying Mothers with there children, when they have wondered off and our prayers have covered them! I am all for the message of Grace that is being preached, it is by Grace through  faith that we got saved. BUT, we cant forget all the scriptures about the fear of the Lord, we cant just think we can live a life any way we want, and expect to see things show up! The Lord is all about possessing the Land, but to really possess,you will have to pursue the Lord! Matthew 22:37- Jesus replied; Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. So like I said if you don't , respect, honor, reverence him how can we love him, with everything we have! 

Think of our loved ones here on earth, we don't ever want to hurt them intentionally. I believe  we have to get this truth back into the church, what it means to fear the Lord! To clear up what it truly means to fear Him! Its not a NEGATIVE message, its a good one! We can't just lay down where we want,  do what we want, and say " GRACE HAS GOT THIS" we must respect GRACE and what it is, JESUS!

These scriptures ministered to me as well, and we have to keep them fresh in our spirits everyday! This life has nothing to offer us, the lusts that pull on your heart,the deception. Its temporary down here! We should all be saying God use me, let me magnify your name! We are the light of the world!

If we don't walk in the fear of the Lord we pull the covering off us, we open ourselves up to the enemy and  his fiery darts! The fear of Lord keeps Satan off your property ( life).

 Isaiah 33:6- He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the KEY to this treasure. 

Psalm 25:12- Who then is the man that fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him. He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land . The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. 

This is a powerful verse!

I want to live in this circle of Blessing and have God trust me to make known his ways! I hope this is a positive message to encourage you, I know it did me! He love you!

Don't Give Up !

I'm not sure if you are familiar with the life of Joseph in the bible? I learned many years ago about Joseph and his endeavor in life no matter what came his way! He never had a victim mentality, which inspired me when I first heard his story! This is a short version!  He was only 17, and his father loved him very much because he was given to him at an old age! So his father made him a richly ornamented robe, this did not go over good with his brothers, they hated him!

At this young age Joseph had a 2 dreams, which God had given to him. He made the mistake of sharing them with his family. This dream was implying  that one day, Joseph would be in a position of authority,and reigning! His brothers took it the wrong way because of what they had towards Joseph, so they hated him all the more! They plotted to have him removed from the family, so  while they were out one day the brothers threw him into a cistern in the desert. Taking his robe off that his father had made him, they decided not to kill him, but sold him to some Ishmaelites. And Joseph's life changed! It changed on the outside because of circumstances, but it did not change what Joseph had on the inside of him, the dreams God had given him! THE BLESSING, was going to bring it to life! Joseph didn't give up!

I am really condensing this story, but through his life of rejection, betrayal, being imprisoned, accused of raping his masters wife, he never gave up! He knew his God, what God showed him, and he trusted him no matter what happened! Joseph had favor!. Genesis 39:2- The Lord was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When the master saw that Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned the Lord BLESSED the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. THE BLESSING OF THE LORD WAS ON EVERYTHING Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.

So no matter what happens in life we can still have results like Joseph, the attitude must be one of, don't give up, don't take on a victim mentality, keep believing  your dreams the Lord has placed in your heart! We must be obedient to God through the trials that come our way and keep praising God!

In the end Joseph was given authority and put in charge of Egypt, he was governor of the land, he was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. In the end Joseph's family did end up coming to Egypt due to a famine in the land. They had no idea about his life and where he ended up, those dreams did come to pass in Josephs life, and it was to save the lives of many, that is why God raised Joseph up!

Joseph never gave up,he never allowed unforgiveness towards his family, he never did any wicked thing before his God! He trusted God all those years, and believed God was looking out for him.

The moral of the story for me is don't become a victim in life, always be happy for someone when they are blessed, rejoice with them, your next! Trust God if he has shown you something for your life, Joseph at the young age of 17 when given those dreams, had no idea he would of been governor one day! Don't let time get in the way, God has not forgotten you, and DON'T GIVE UP! He Loves you.

Increase Alert!

Yes I'm still talking about the "The Blessing" ! We all need to get this revelation in our lives, to know what is available to us! The empowerment to prosper in every area of our lives! Are you experiencing a famine in your life right now? Do you lack in many areas that you would like to see a change?Famine does not just resemble children with swollen bellies, where many have died. Christians are experiencing famine right here in Canada, America, and in other countries! I believe the famine is a lack of revelation as  to what is available to them. The meaning of famine is a drastic, wide reaching food shortage, severe hunger, starvation! Do you resemble that meaning? God wants you to know that the BLESSING will take care of any shortage you are experiencing!   Well listen up children of the most high God, that's you and me! Instead of FAMINE, THERE IS AN INCREASE ALERT!

Deuteronomy 28:9-14- The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you an oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in his ways. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord and they will stand in AWE of you. AND THE lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of your body, of your livestock, and of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to BLESS all the work of your hands;and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail;

It says in 1 Peter that we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, holy nation, that we belong to God, to inherit all the benefits a child of the most high God has! The care he takes for us, the provision our God has for us, the protection we have in him! So know that there should be no famine at all in your life,

We must get this and then walk in this example to others in the world, so they can follow our example as we all follow Christ. This BLESSING will bring about the compassion, power and glory of God wherever we go to change the world for his Glory! The "word seed" will grow in each of us, to make disciples, and see the world understand the BLESSING!

If we feed on the worlds junk and not on the Word of God this transformation will not follow through the way God wanted it to! I will leave you with this TRUE STORY!

A town in Guatemala of 18,000 people called Almolonga, where 90% of the people had been born again. They had huge signs leading into town that read " JESUS IS LORD OF ALMOLONGA"!  A few years ago the area was an arid wasteland, but now , the crops are remarkable. An average of 40 trucks a day leave Almolonga, loaded down with tons of produce during any of their eight annual harvests. The camera crew that went in their brought back videos to verify it. They showed cabbages so big they wouldn't fit into a 5-gallon bucket, and carrots the size of your forearm. The farmers were driving Mercedes trucks. The last of the jails closed down in 1988. The towns people turned it into a chapel because they didn't need a jail anymore. A generation ago, there were only  four churches, now there are more than 23.

Jesus paid the price for us all and gave us this BLESSING to equip us to have results just like this story here!

That is what the" BLESSING "can do, and its up to us to get this revelation, not just information about the bible,start living it and believing it, and DRIVING that FAMINE out of our lives in every area! I will stop at this point and talk more in my later blogs to come! Always remember He Loves you start CONFESSING that the BLESSING IS WORKING IN YOUR LIFE TODAY!

So God Created Man In His Own Image!

I have been meditating on the "Blessing" a lot and all that entails, as you can read from previous blogs I have written. I was doing my scripture reading in Genesis this morning about creation, the creation of man and woman!  I was meditating on a few verses, and was so caught up with emotion when reading these particular scriptures!. Do any of us realize who we are created after, do we take the time to think about the Love that went into our creation? I think that's what ministered to me this morning! God breathed His divine DNA when He created us! Genesis 2:7- Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being. The Hebrew commentaries put it this way" He became a living speaking spirit like God. That is not saying we are God, just in case some might be thinking I'm implying it as well. Think about when we have children they come out our likeness, our DNA, same concept!

As I was reading that and meditating on that scripture, something went off in me, the love of God towards mankind! He created us in His own image.Genesis 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.

So all the love, and compassion, light, love, goodness, mercy was breathed into mankind when he created us! He saw the bigger plan for mankind, He knew the love that he for us was not going to be thrown away just because Adam and Eve sinned( disobeyed) in the Garden back then!" No" he had a love so strong for us that he had another plan to get us out of that mess. That plan was JESUS! He came for us to have eternal life! John 3:16

We are created in the image of God, God who is eternally sovereign and independent, man is and was dependent on God! We ALL NEED GOD! There is no breathe of life without God, he breathed it into us right from the beginning of time!  I was once again touched with His love, His plan, His purpose, for us all, "mankind"! We are not created to just serve ourselves in all our desires and lusts here on this earth! God  breathed his DNA into us, so that tells me what love He has for us!His love redeemed us from the sin that was started way back in the Garden of Eden! That Love put mankind back in fellowship with Him PERMANENTLY THROUGH JESUS! If that doesn't touch you, then your wood is wet! He created us to do a lot more than just exist from day to day, never knowing our purpose! I love this scripture it really just captures something I felt this morning, David wrote this Psalm thousands of years ago. His love for God was being conveyed through writing what he had in his heart, something that God wanted us to read thousands of years later, and that we could identify with David!
PSALM 8: 3- When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him but a little lower than God ( or heavenly beings) and You crowned him with glory and honor.

David must of been so caught up in this, so don't ever think you are worthless and put on this earth for no good reason, you have got the DNA of GOD OUR CREATOR. in you!

Adams first words he heard were BLESSED! Those words are still powerful today as they were then.They carry with them the same unchanging plan and purpose for HIS FAMILY! That is you and me mankind! HE LOVES YOU!

"The Blessing" will defeat all your Enemies to your Faith!

GENESIS1:27- So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God "BLESSED"  them.This truth will never expire, there is not a expiry date on it, saying sorry its not available to drink from, or eat from His table any longer!. This is the word of God, it is His empowerment for us to live a life of victory, and drink and eat from His table, even in the midst of our enemies ! I can look in my bible and read scriptures that I marked with the date that the Lord ministered that verse to me. Things that He promised me, so I marked it with the "date" it hasn't expired, why?I believe it and trust God for it!I wrote something next to it, I see it has come to pass! Its in Deuteronomy 8:7- For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land- a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills, a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey: a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills. When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. I marked that in 2002, with these words, "This is the land the Lord is bringing me into" at the time there was a lot of things going on in my life.He ministered it to me strongly, I read it not realizing it to be a "way of life" He had for me. I was just thinking I needed at the time to find a new place to live, but He had bigger plans, more than just a new rental at that time. It was a land to bring me into where I had not experienced before, He was teaching me the "THE BLESSING" . The Lord was teaching me to DEFEAT ALL THOSE ENEMIES, that I am talking about here today! So as I look back on that scripture,with that date there and 12 years later I see how it truly has come to pass! It is still going on of course you never arrive its always progressing, Praise God! I want to encourage once again with this topic of the "The Blessing" and how it will defeat all our ENEMIES TO YOUR FAITH!

In the book of Deuteronomy 28:7- The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be DEFEATED before you. They will come at you from on direction but flee from you in seven. The number 7 is completion, total victory, perfection. Whatever way your enemies come  against you, they have to flee, they don't stand a chance, their defeated! They will come to you one way, but flee from you in seven!

We all have heard of David as a young boy killing that giant? He did that with the Blessing, he knew his covenant with God! He spoke to that giant what he was going to do in the name of Lord Almighty. He first said what he was going to do to him,THAT GIANT WAS HIS ENEMY, then David killed  that giant with one stone, and cut his head off! It's in 1SAMUEL 17:45-51.


The bible is full of stories just like that, giving victory over their enemies! So why would it be any different today? We just have to stop relying on other things other than God to try to overcome them!

Their are seven ENEMIES to our life! They are LACK, SICKNESS, FAILURE, WORRY, CONFUSION, FEAR, CONDEMNATION.

Their are seven REDEMPTIVE names of God to completely cover these ENEMIES!

Defeat of Lack- JEHOVAH-JIREH - The Lord will Provide.
Defeat of Sickness - JEHOVAH -RAPHA - The Lord my healer- " I am the Lord that heals you"
Defeat of Failure - JEHOVAH - NISSI- The Lord my Victory!
Defeat of Worry- JEHOVAH -SHALOM - The Lord our Peace.
Defeat of Confusion - JEHOVAH -RA-AH - The Lord is my Shepard, He leads me guides me!
Defeat of Condemnation- JEHOVAH -TSIDKNEU- The Lord my Righteousness.
Defeat of Fear- JEHOVAH -SHAMMAH- The Lord is present-" I will never leave".

These enemies to our Faith come at us, but have to flee seven ways! Deuteronomy 28:7 
The BLESSING removes them because of JESUS, take this in your life! HE LOVES YOU!
