VICTORY OVER A SIN CONSCIOUS

VICTORY OVER A SIN CONSCIOUS

Hebrew 2: 14-15   ¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;


¹⁵ And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

When you know and understand what Jesus has done for you, then you are free from bondage.

But to be free from bondage, you have to know the truth.

The danger of a sin conscious is that your faith won’t work

No matter what you are believing for, it won’t work.


The question is what did Jesus really do?


Jesus left his home in heaven, then came to earth, took on a body of flesh and blood, so he could die.

As a spirit he could not die, spirit doesn’t die.


 In order for him to die he had to take on something that could die, a body of flesh and blood.

Not only did he take on flesh and blood so he could die, he now has a body to give as a sin offering.

He was born to die… there had to be a death, there had to be a blood sacrifice.

Everything Jesus suffered was supposed to be for us.


He took our suffering; our pain of death, the whipping, being beat, spit on, and even went to hell in our place.

Because he went to hell we don’t have to.

The sin debt had to be paid for, and Jesus was the only one that could pay that debt.

Jesus set us free from shame, poverty and the bondage of fear of death.

Satan does not have the power of death anymore.


If you don’t absolutely understand what Jesus did on that cross and as soon as the sin conscious comes back you will be back to step one.


Hebrew 10: 26   ²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,


If you don’t know who this is written to you will miss the whole thing.

How can we give a correct interpretation of this verse of scripture, and not know what the Jewish people went through?


We have been taught that if you willfully or deliberately sin there is no more sacrifice for sin.


What did that do to you when someone said that to you?


It makes you feel condemned, hopeless and it makes you feel like “I might miss heaven”.


This letter was written to the Jewish Hebrew people. It was never meant for the believers of Jesus.


Under the Mosaic Law if you sin willfully after Jesus has come and go back to the sacrificing of bulls and goats… there is no more sacrifice!


The Hebrews willfully sinning is the refection of Jesus Christ as the final sacrifice and going back to the temple sacrifice.


The only sacrifice for the remission of sin is the blood of Jesus Christ.

And if you reject Him as the only sacrifice, there is none other sacrifice for sin.


This is and was always plan A. there is no plan B.


When you go back under the Law, and try to make Gods word work in your life under your own efforts you will fail.


You will always have a sin conscious, wondering if I break the law will this or that happen.

You will always be in bondage with a sin conscious.


That is why Jesus came to deliver us and make us right before God, so we could have a righteous conscious.




Righteousness by the law says…do. Righteousness by faith says… done


It is not about what God is going to do, it is about what God has already done…


Grab this gift that the Son of God gave us. Accept that he has done it all. All we need to do is accept him as savior and serve Him.


Stay in the word.

Brother Andy.

THE POWER OF GODS IMAGE IN YOU

THE POWER OF GODS IMAGE  IN YOU

 Cor 5:7   For we walk by faith and not by sight.

God has given you the principle, and the power to make permanent changes in your life, and in your circumstances. (Principle means: the basic way in which something works)

But first you have to understand an important principal… it is the principle of Inner image

Genesis1: 26

²⁶ And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

When God created the earth, he had to first have an inner image or idea of what he wanted to create.

He took the principle of the inner image and added faith and the power of His words, and created.

For your inner image to work, you need to use words for your base… the word of God. The word of God has supernatural power.

And if you fill that word with faith and speak it out it will work for you. God said His word would not come back void.

You have to use words to get that image from the inside of you to the outside.

Words are powerful; they are containers that can carry faith and love.

Words are so important they can determine our eternal destiny.

Proverbs 18: 21   Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

We are the only creature on the planet that has the power to speak words.

Satan chose his own words and was doomed forever: words can destroy or they can create.

Words can take an inner image and project it to the outside world.

Once you understand that… you can put the principle of the inner image to work in your life.

Words not only release the creative force of faith, they also produce images.

When you hear the word dog, you form a picture in your mind of a dog. that is an inner image; words paint pictures in our minds.

We have to get that inner image to line up with the word of God. God’s words are packed with faith.

That faith is the energy that is in the word that gives it power to bring itself to pass.

In other words, transfers it from inner image to a physical reality.

Isaiah 55: 11     So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

God’s word is a living thing. It is alive with Gods own faith.

Just as Gods faith energized the words he spoke, the faith he has given you, mixed with his words can create new realities in your life.

By the power of the Holy Spirit you have faith inside of you.

When your inner image matches Gods word, then your faith can produce the end result that God desires for it to produce.

You need to realize that when you start putting these principles and this power to work. You are going to run into some heavy resistance from Satan.

He is going to do everything he can to stop you because you have just become one of his greatest enemies.

And because he understands the power of the inner image, he will work hard to distort that image.

He will try to up root the word of God that has been planted inside you.

Matthew 13: 18-23   ¹⁸ Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

²⁰ But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

²¹ Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

²² He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

²³ But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Jesus himself warned us of his devilish tactics in the parable of the sower. The word is the subject of this parable.

Not the ground in which the seed is sown… Satan has to stop the word from taking root in your heart.

He has to stop you from cultivating an inner image of the word.

Once you have an inner image, nothing can stop you from receiving from God.

You will be fully persuaded that what God has promised, he is able to perform.

Satan must try to stop you before you become fully persuaded.

Once you get in agreement with the word, Satan can’t stop it from coming to pass. It is the word in you that he is after, not just you.

Satan uses these five things to try and get your mind off the word, and onto natural things.

1.     Persecution. 2. Affliction.  3. Care of this world.

4.        Deceitfulness with riches.  5. The lust of other things. (the flesh)

Persecution = the infliction of pain or punishment.

Affliction = a state of continual distress or pain.

There is only one way to overcome Satins methods.

Paul says walk by faith and not by sight… when your body says I am sick, remind your body that you believe it is healed.

When you have the same image inside of you that is the same as Gods inner image of you, then you can be confident that your body is going to change.

It has no choice; it has to line up with Gods word.

When you have a clear image on the inside of you and you release your faith, that which is inside of you becomes a reality on the outside.

God has given you the faith, he has given you his word, and he has given you the Holy Spirit.

So, get into the word, let it begin to shape the images within you… then speak it out in power and faith in the name of Jesus.

If we want the supernatural promises and blessings of God to manifest in our lives, we must stop thinking in the natural realm.

We don’t live by the natural world’s way, so why would we make spiritual decisions using the ways of the world. 

We are reborn into the supernatural things of God, by the renewing of our mind.

If you want your today and tomorrow to be different from your yesterday, stop thinking that God can’t, God won’t, and probably never will.

Start confessing, God can, God will and stop blaming God for everything that doesn’t go along with our small way of thinking.

Stay in the word,

Brother Andy

THE PURPOSE OF VISION

THE PURPOSE OF VISION

HOSEA 4:6     my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge

because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee… I will also forget thy children

I keep seeing among Christians today a great need, and lack in their lives.

Everywhere I go, everywhere I look, I find that God’s people lack something.

They are hungry for something, and they are thirsting for something, and they don’t know how to feed it or quench it

A feeling of insecurity, and their lives being defeated

Some have experienced stress so long, that depression has set in and created a lifestyle of hopelessness…

They don’t realize or understand the fullness of god, the promises of god and the provisions of god…

 Proverbs 29:18       where there is no vision the people perish…

The lack of vision produces spiritual poverty due to spiritual darkness

Because of spiritual darkness, there is no revelation of God’s word…

Vision is not just an image, it is also revelation and knowledge of God’s will for your life

When you reject God’s knowledge of the word, you also reject his law.

To keep your vision, you must be filled with love that comes from a pure heart… a clear conscience and sincere faith.

The Christians of today seem to be powerless, why???

Because we lack God’s fullness in our lives.

The word says to be filled with the Holy Spirit

Acts 4:31   they were filled with the holy ghost and spake in the word of God with boldness led by the Holy Spirit…

God’s wisdom only comes from and thru the Holy Spirit…

The fullness of God, the promise of God and the provision of God, led by the Holy Spirit will complete the purpose that God has for your life… did you know that God has a purpose for your life?

The fullness of God is nothing broken, nothing missing…

Regardless of what you might think, or feel at times; you are very important to the body of Christ

Don’t let circumstances around you or what someone might say be a direction for your future…

Be a person anointed by God and full of faith led by the Holy Spirit and not by circumstances.

God sees you differently than you see yourself

We step into the world mindset of negative thinking and start looking at the circumstances around us… get over into a word mindset.

 Hebrews 10: 35   ³⁵ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

As long as we are on this earth, the devil will use circumstances to challenge our confidence in God’s word.

He will use wicked deception to fool those who refuse to believe the truth… the truth that would have saved them…

John 8:31-32    ³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

³² And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.         

If you will stay in the word, or if you will live by what I say you are truly my disciple

Then you will know the truth, and only then will the truth set you free

1^st Peter 5:8     be sober, be vigilant (or alert) because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour

In John 10: 10 Jesus says… I am come that you might have life and life abundantly

Philippians 4: 19     but my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory, by Christ Jesus

Mathew 6: 33    ³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Stay in the word.

VICTORY OVER THE SPIRIT OF DEPRESSION

VICTORY OVER THE SPIRIT OF DEPRESSION

Today more than any other time that I know, more and more people are depressed, many are taking meds for depression. If you talk to someone who’s life is all sunshine and pretty clouds, they would just say you need to just be happy, get a life.

That is not what I say. I say, there has to be a reason why people are so depressed. No one wakes up in the morning and says, “today I think I will be depressed”.

Sometimes depression comes from family circumstances, or financial situations. Sometimes by a love one that has hurt you.

This state of depression needs to be dealt with, before it overrides the wisdom of daily certainty. 

If you don’t deal with it every decision you make will become uncertain. With uncertain decisions it can lead you deeper into discouragement and depression.

Sometimes, often as not, it will lead to an emotional condition or a feeling of failure. Depression is our enemy and becomes a disorder that effects our behavior in a negative way. We lose our positive thinking.

Being depresses is not a sin in itself, but could and sometimes does end up in sin. Jesus was depressed in Gethsemane and Job in the old testament was depressed. So the Lord knows how depression feels.

Being depresses is a sign or result of something in your life that is not right and you must respond. Depression is a common cold of the mind. If not treated properly a common cold can lead to worse illnesses.

If depression is not dealt with it can eventually lead to anger, and anger will take you a lot farther than you want to go and can be a hard road to get back from.

Proverbs 29:22   ²² An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

Don’t let your feelings stir up anger in your daily life. That anger can lead you into strife.

So, depression leads to wrong feelings: feelings of low self-esteem, which lead to feelings of inadequacy, then leads to wrong decisions, which can lead you back into anger. All of this then can lead to strife which can cause bitterness. It all becomes a vicious cycle.

If not dealt with depression can lead you into hopelessness. At this point you really must try to make a logical decision, before you start giving up.

If a depressed person gets to the point of giving up it can lead to alcohol and or drug abuse, or something much worse, suicide.

If you are depressed seek help. You will need to talk to someone who can help lead you out of your depression. Your minister, or more importantly talk to God, he can help you. He wants to help you. He waits with open arms hoping you will turn to Him.

Hebrews 13:5-6   ⁵ Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

⁶ So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

God will bless you and you don’t have to go through life alone. You don’t have to go through depression. Jesus will set you free. Ask him, He is ready to help you.

Take the time every day to talk to the Father and to Jesus. Let them know that you are seeking their help with your daily life. You will find your new relationship with them very rewarding.

Stay in the word. 

Brother Andy.

LIVING RIGHTEOUS IN PERILOUS TIMES

LIVING RIGHTEOUS IN PERILOUS TIMES

Matthew 6: 14-15   ¹⁴ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

¹⁵ But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

When we stop loving people, family and friends, or anyone because of some petty thing they might have said of done, that is called aught or trespasses.

Mark 11:25-26   ²⁵ And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

²⁶ But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

In both places Jesus calls them trespasses which means you have a grudge against them.

Jesus is saying, if you refuse to forgive them, He (meaning the Father), will not forgive you

But if you forgive the failures of others, your heavenly Father will forgive you.

We need to stop holding grudges and hard feelings against people. Especially a Christian Brother or Sister.

The reason God can’t forgive you for doing that is it is a sin not to forgive. God has forgiven you many times.

We need to stay righteous and love one another as Christ loves us.

Roman 6:23   ²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The wages of sin is death. Sin will take you farther away from God than you ever want to go. It is a long way back.

You can get so caught up in sin until you will completely loose your spiritual vision.

Proverbs 29:18   ¹⁸ Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Vision creates hope. Your spiritual life will only go as far as your vision leads you.

If you lose your vision, you lose your hope.

With the world situation as it is today, it looks like people are starting to lose hope.

Biblical hope is the foundation that faith is built on.

Romans 10:17   ¹⁷ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

If you give up on hope, you’re not going to be hearing, and if we stop hearing, God will stop hearing. Faith only comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Hebrews 11:6   ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Without faith it is impossible to please God.

If you give up on hope, you are not going to hear.

If you don’t hear, you will start losing faith.

If you loose faith it will be impossible to please God.

If you go this far then you won’t trust God, you will give up on hope and faith then depression comes in.

Now you are in trouble. You have just been inducted into the world’s way of thinking.

If you are on the bottom and the only way left is up. Now is the time to stop and think. How did I ever get to this point in my life? Don’t quit and throw in the towel.

This is Satan’s deception. He gets you into the worlds system of thinking, he will steal your vision and it will hinder your faith walk.

1 Peter 5 :8   ⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

It is saying, stay alert and keep your mind clear. Why? Because it’s the battle field of your mind is where he tries to devour you.

Now is the time to get back in the word and get tough.

Say, Devil I am a child of God and I am a Kings kid. I have the authority and the blood on my side

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

If you are sick, it is a Job for El Shadi, the God of Abraham, Isack and Jacob.

If you are down, it is a job for El Shadi

If you are depressed, it is a job for El Shadi

If you are tired of being tired, it is a job for El Shadi.

Is there a mountain in your life, speak to it.

We have been blood bought by Jesus Christ.

We have that perfect Blood covenant.

We are not of this world, we are here temporarily.

We are heirs to the Kingdom of God.

We are brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.

We are sons and daughters of God.

We have to forgive people and hold no grudge

Love one another as Christ loves us

Stay righteous before our Heavenly Father, thru Christ Jesus his son.

Speak to that mountain in your life.

Speak to the snake that is trying to confuse you.

Tell that snake he will have to come thru the Blood of Jesus to reach you.

When you accepted Jesus as savior you gained favor with God.

The devil will never give up…Don’t you give up either.

Gods’ desire for you is for you to be on the top, not the bottom.

IS AMERICA FALLING APART?

IS AMERICA FALLING APART?

Or is America falling in line?

Things are looking bad with a new crisis almost every week in America. Killing, stealing and destruction going on all over our country. It doesn’t mean America is falling apart. It is quite the contrary, America is falling into place.

Romans 8:28-32   ²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

²⁹ For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

³⁰ Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

³¹ What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

³² He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

The word destination means the purpose for which something or someone is intended or appointed to.

The word predestinate means God did actually know us before we were born physically. For whom he did foreknow he also did predestinate

When it comes to a kingdom like America, these latter days have been confusing to most Americans. Many are asking what is going on with America.

I can tell you what is happening in America, there is a devil called Satan still killing, stealing and destroying like he always has, and he will continue until you learn how to use your God given power and authority to resist him. 

James 4:7   ⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

The problem today is that most people won’t submit to God or anyone else. They demand their rights. Since God created us, gave us life, where are these so called rebellious rights coming from?

I will lay it out for you, right out of the pit of hell. Satan is enjoying every minute of it. One day possibly very soon your rights, your wicked ways, sexual bad habits and your what-ever will stand before the true God to be judged.

If you have not made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, you are in a lot of trouble without even knowing it. When you stand before Him you will be ashamed without excuse.

Start now to build a righteous foundation for your life. Hope is and always will be the foundation for faith to build on, in knowing God’s word we build on this foundation.

Psalms 11:3   ³ If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

If and when the foundations are shaky and you wish you could hide, remember that Go is still in control. His power is not diminished by any turn of events. 

Nothing happens without His knowledge and permission. When you feel like running away, run to God, he will restore justice and goodness on the earth in His good time.

So never give up, hope and faith builds a very good foundation.

God has had a plan since the beginning of time, and no leader, no president, no man or event can change Gods plans. It is going to be as he planned and just exactly as he planned.

You should know that God does not preserve the believers from difficult circumstances. He tests both the righteous and the wicked.

For some, Gods tests become a refining fire, while for others it becomes an incinerator for destruction.

Don’t ignore Gods tests and challenges. Use them as opportunities for growth. Sometimes for Christians these are unpredictable days. Living for God in a hostile and deceitful world can be full of difficulty and loneliness. 

At one time the great prophet Elijah felt so lonely he wanted to die. We need to remember that we are never alone in our battle against evil. When you feel alone seek out other believers for strength and support.

We have one constant hope, the word of God. So, listen carefully when he speaks. God will not only expect us to obey his guidelines, but He wants us to love him with all our heart.

Our standard of living this life as believers should not come from our evil society, but from Gods word.

We all, believers and non-believers experience pain and trouble as well as failures in our lifetime. But for us that know God, know that God will help you from straying off the path he has chosen for you.

One might think America is falling apart… no not falling apart, falling in place just like God said it would. God knew how people would respond in these latter days, that they would be led by the world system instead of His plan.

America knows the truth, but rebellion is bringing her down. If you have made Jesus Christ the lord of your life, be not troubled. Victory for you is assured by His word.

Matthew 24:4-14   ⁴ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

⁵ For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

⁶ And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

⁷ For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows.

⁹ Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

¹⁰ And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

¹¹ And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

¹² And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

¹³ But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

TOUCHING THE HEM

TOUCHING THE HEM

Mark 5:21   ²¹ And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

Jesus had just cast demonic spirits out of a man living in the tombs and mountains into 2000 pigs.

Mark 5:22-24   ²² And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

²³ And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

²⁴ And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

Thronged means to surround, a crowd of people.

Mark 5: 25-29   ²⁵ And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

²⁶ And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

²⁷ When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

²⁸ For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

²⁹ And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

First the woman had to believe that if she touched his garment she would be healed. She had heard about his healing power, and had faith that if she but touched his garment she would be healed.

What faith this woman had, she could have easily been stoned for being in public with an issue of blood. It wasn’t allowed for a woman to even touch a man when she had her time of bleeding.

The garment or cloak that she wanted to touch was a prayer shawl. It had four tassels, each tied with five double knots, which represent the 613 commandments in the Tora. She saw these tassels on Jesus’ garment.

She understood what it meant. She knew the Hebrew tradition.

The Hebrew word for hem is wings, the hem of Jesus’ garment was representing the 613 laws or commandments that Jesus was to fulfill at the cross.

This woman knew if she touched the hem of his garment she would be healed, or made whole.

When she saws the tassels or wings on his garment, she said to herself, there is healing in his wings. I must touch this garment.

At this period of time it was before Jesus went to the cross. This was a covenant God made with the Hebrews. Jesus was wearing that covenant, he was passing by with that covenant.

Mark 5:30-34   ³⁰ And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

³¹ And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

³² And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

³³ But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

³⁴ And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

It puts us to the question; how many would reach out to touch the hem of his garment with such faith.

Because Jesus did fulfill the 613 laws or commandments under the old law, you had to do good to get good.

Under the new covenant of grace, we have to accept what Jesus did to receive the blessings he has made available to us. It’s never going to be under the law again, it will always be under grace, because of what you believe in God’s word, under the new covenant.

It is all about faith, and how you use faith. All the promises that have been provided in God’s word, rest upon your faith in what Jesus provided at the cross.

You cannot get what grace has provided without faith, faith has to be involved. Your faith is going to start working as soon as you start acknowledging and admitting that you have already gotten what you ask for.

Hebrews 11:1   11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

The substance that has been provided by grace will take the kind of faith that the woman with the blood issue had to get her healing. If you are a believer, everything is in your spirit. Whatever you need Jesus has already deposited it in you.

You need to know what faith is and how it operates, and our part in it in order to take possession of what grace has already made available.

This is not a case of us trying to get God to do something, God has already done it. Now all we have to do is possess it.

Faith is not something we do to get God to respond, that is under the law, with faith it is our response to what God has already done for us.

Faith is not God response. Faith is our response to what Jesus has already done, faith moves us. God has already moved through his beloved Son, Christ Jesus.

If God had not provided it independent of your effort and prior to your need, then faith can’t make it happen. It’s not about God manufacturing it when you have need of it.

The last words Jesus spoke on the cross, “it is finished”. It has all been done. We can’t get it done in the natural, you can’t receive from the supernatural by responding in the natural.

Faith does not cause a positive response to move God, why?

Because faith is a positive response from us not from God. God has already responded positively.

Hebrews 11:6   ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

This is why we must respond by faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

Having faith also means believing He is…

CONSIDERING GODS UNDERSTANDING

CONSIDERING GODS UNDERSTANDING

2 Timothy 2:7   ⁷ Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

God speaks through the bible, His word. We need to be open and receptive to Him as we read the word. Ask God to reveal the truth of it by His Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will open your spiritual eyes and give you discerning (understanding). When you read the word meditate on it, don’t just read it like a common book.

The bible is a living word. It is for perfecting of the saints (Christians), for the work of the ministry and for the edifying of the Body of Christ.

Ephesians 1: 17   ¹⁷ That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

The spirit of wisdom, knowledge and understanding comes from God the father, through the Holy Spirit who reveals the truth to your spirit.

Many believers want an abundance of Gods special favor and understanding, but they are unwilling to put forth the effort to seek his word and know him better.

God allows us to share in his divine nature so we can lead a godly life and empowers us with his own goodness, confidence through His word. It is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls.

Two unchangeable things are Go promise and his oath. He cannot lie, because God is truth. You never need to wonder if He will change his plans.

When God says to consider what I say, he is saying His wisdom is higher than our wisdom and his wisdom is a wisdom that doesn’t belong to this world or to the rulers of this world.

God gives us the understanding that the heavens are higher than the earth, and His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than ours.

When God speaks it shall not return to Him void. But it shall accomplish that which He pleases and it shall prosper in the thing where he sends it.

We can’t even imagine with our natural minds what God has prepared for us and our lives.

God reveals his word, not as the wisdom of man, but by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. For the wisdom of the natural man is foolishness to God.

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

In other words, I will reject the intelligence of the intelligent people, the people of the world system. If you only have worldly wisdom and not spiritual wisdom your foundation if not framed on the word of God will crumble.

When you speak the word of God through faith, the words you speak activates Gods word, transferring the word directly through your spirit to the natural.

God hears the words of His word when we speak them, when spoken in faith, those words go into our soul and transfers to the heart (the spiritual heart) and out of the abundance of the heart we speak and Gods word goes into action.

It is God releasing or transferring His power and authority from the supernatural to the natural, or, from the spirit man to the natural man.

When you get Gods understanding, you can be confident of the good work of God which he will perform in you.

When you speak the word, you are decreeing and declaring the word to manifest in the things Jesus made available to us at the cross.

Release the wisdom of the word in everything that pertains to the purposes of your life.

Start trusting God at His word, He is still in control, don’t try and lean to your own understanding.

stay in the word

The Evil Spirt of Fear

The Evil Spirt of Fear

2^nd Timothy 1:7     ⁷ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Romans 8:6    ⁶ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Renewing your mind is exchanging your thoughts, your beliefs and your opinions, for Gods thoughts, Gods beliefs and Gods opinion, which is His word.

Gods power, Gods love and a sound mind will win over anything Satan can come up with.

Fear in America is destroying lives and people are not even aware of why everything is so chaotic in their lives.

The spirit of fear is evil, it will put you in bondage. Bondage will lead you into confusion. It will cause stress in your life, and will always lead to depression. Now you are over in Satan’s arena. 

Satan definitely plays hardball. When you get to this point you will do things and say things you normally would never do. Especially to friends and family.

A very large percentage of people have this problem today. The reason Satan is getting by with it is we allow it. You must know your enemy.

Satan’s only weapons are manipulation and deception. You need know how he works his deception to destroy you. He will manipulate all people, even little children. 

It is time to rise up and put the devil in his place.

1 Peter 5:6-8   ⁶ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

⁷ Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Turn your anxiety over to God. Be sober, keep your mind clear and alert, because the devil who is the accuser of the brethren, prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

Malachi 3: 11   ¹⁰ Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

¹¹ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

Folks this is real. God is real, Satan is real, heaven is real, and Hell is real.

John 14:6   ⁶ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Most of what we see today is people denying the truth and have a form of godliness. Saying, it feels right and everyone is doing it, it must be ok.

It is true that the truth will set you free. But only if you know it and apply it to your life.  

John 10:10   ¹⁰ The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Satan who is called the devil, really does not want you to know any of this.

First, he doesn’t want you to know he is a killer, a stealer and certainly does not want you to know he is a destroyer.  

Second, he most certainly does not want you to know that you can have life in abundance by accepting Jesus as your Lord and savior. 

The question is, how hard are you willing to fight to keep him from winning. He is trying to steal your right to heaven and life eternal with the Father. As well as all the blessings, the Father has for you.

Believe it or not, we are in a spiritual war, a war for our very soul. Satan certainly does not want you to know that once you have accepted Jesus as Lord and savior he has lost the spiritual battle for your soul.

Here are a few of the things that Satan doesn’t want you to know.

Satan doesn’t want you to know that when Jesus died on the cross his blood was so pure until it cleansed your spirit man so clean until the Holy Spirit of God could come in and live in your spirit. When the Holy Spirit came into your spirt He sealed your spirit.

That is why 1 John 4:4 says greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

Satan doesn’t want you to know the truth, because he knows the truth will set you free from the bondage of fear.

John 8:32   ³² And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Satan doesn’t want you to know that you have the victory in your life because of the new blood covenant.

He doesn’t want you to know that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

Philippians 4:13   ¹³ I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

He doesn’t want you to know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose.

He for sure doesn’t want you to know that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and that no man comes to the father but by Jesus Christ.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself. As long as you have Jesus you have everything you need.

This is a perfect opportunity to lift your hands up to the Lord and ask Him to come into your heart and be the Lord and Savior of your life.

It’s really simple, just make the decision to follow Him. I have.
