YOUR SUPERNATURAL AUTHORITY

YOUR SUPERNATURAL AUTHORITY

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. Gods thoughts for us are good. He wants the best for his children.

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

Matthew 10:7-8   ⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

He didn’t ask them to pray, he told them to go and heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and cast out devils.

When Jesus said it is finished, it meant nothing according to the word was left undone.  He paid in full for it all.

3 John 1:2   Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

God works through His word through faith, grace and the spiritual laws that He has set into place, according to His will, which is His word.

If you are a believer, have faith; believe God will do what He says he will do.

Then you have the authority to command healing, prosperity, and victory over evil spirits as well as the devil.

1 Timothy 4:11 These things command and teach.

Command to lead or to exercise authority.

Demand Demanding and or asking a request made with authority.

If you don’t command healing to come; it won’t come; if you don’t command prosperity to come, it won’t happen.

We have been authorized to use Gods power. Under our authority to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out devils.

Matthew 16:19   ¹⁹ And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Keys are to unlock what is bound, to bind is to hold or restrain, loose means freedom from restraint or from what is bound.

We bind first, then Loose what Christ made available for us at the cross. We bind what is hurting us then we loose our healing. All of our blessings come from heaven.

When you walk in authority, you will see things happen. But nothing can leave heaven until it leaves earth first as we speak it into existence.

Mark 16:16-17   ¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

To be damned is to be condemned to eternal punishment, as to Hell.

¹⁷ And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

¹⁸ They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

We are to minister healing to people. We are to command demons to leave. We have the power and authority. We are Gods servants on earth, we are to serve and to teach the people the good news of Jesus Christ.

Even though healing and prosperity is the will of the father, and he has authorized you to do it, if you don’t use this authority and do it, it won’t come.

There is so much religion in church today that they, at times, misrepresent God.

Religion and most churches say this: nothing happens without Gods direct or indirect approval.

What they mean by that is God is either causing it to happen or allowing it to happen. This is not what the word teaches.

It has been repeated over and over in our religious circles and in it has been implanted in our mindset for many years.

This just gives people excuses and frees them from all personal responsibility by praying, Lord if it be your will, please heal this person.

1 Peter 2:24   ²⁴ Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

They also pray save this marriage. Then if the marriage is saved or a person is healed; it’s great. But if it doesn’t work, then they say it must not have been Gods will.  This kind of thinking and praying is so wrong.

This way of thinking says, we have no responsibility or accountability on the matter at all.

 It is easy to say, if it is your will for them to be healed, then praise God, and if not, it is all on you Lord.  That is not faith

That is an easy way for us not to be accountable, and yet God gave us authority, and his authorization to use his power of attorney to execute His will in the earth.

Taking the easy way out is just wrong. It takes us out of the picture, and that is not what God did, He put us in the picture, at creation.

We have authority in three areas. In heaven: in earth. And beneath the earth. We have authority over all demonic powers.

Matthew 28:18   ¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Remember the devil knows who you are in Christ Jesus.

Salvation is available: healing is available: and prosperity is available. The only thing is that people refuse to believe and accept it. We as Gods people need to command it.

The will of God doesn’t automatically come to pass. You have a choice.

Acts 16: 30-31   ³⁰ And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

³¹ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Its Gods will for every man and woman to be saved, but they have to make a decision to do so.

Because you get saved, then when they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, they will get saved.

There is so much misrepresentation of God in the church today. False doctrine is sending people to hell every day. Like teaching that there are more ways to Heaven or salvation than Jesus Christ.

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

Here’s what has to be done in this day and time. We must preach and teach the true gospel in order for people to be set free from evil demonic wrong teachings.

Matthew 7:15   ¹⁵ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Not to get into religion or tradition, we have to make sure the true, over the top good news reaches people, so they can make godly decisions.

People say, if its Gods will they will be healed whether I pray for them or not, or saved whether I pray or not… wrong.]

If someone doesn’t minister to the unsaved, they probably won’t get saved or healed.

Romans 10:13-17   ¹³ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

¹⁴ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher, or teacher or any believer?

¹⁵ And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written. How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

¹⁶ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

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

If they are going to get saved, we are to do what he told us to do.

We have to minister salvation to the people, God has made everything available, and God needs us to minister to people who are in need.

Our Job is to minister, or command or speak that into the lives of people that need it.

Where salvation is concerned, you have the commission to minister salvation into the lives of people who are not saved.

Same with healing, we have the commission and authority to minister healing, to command healing in the lives of people that need it.

If and when I pray for someone, its Gods power, I minister His power, and they must have faith enough to receive it.

There are people waiting for you to walk in this power and authority.

You are an amazing instrument of God almighty. He is ready to use you. Are you ready to be used?

I am trying to raise up believers to the supernatural status for these last days.

When God gave this authority, He gave it to all mankind. He did not give it to just preachers and teachers but to all that believe.

God’s grace had favored us with His authority to use His power in the name of Jesus.

Grace through faith puts a demand on spiritual laws. Faith put the manifestation of God’s word into motion.

We believe by faith, Hebrews 11:1, substance of things

Faith sets the spiritual laws of heaven in motion.

God’s spiritual laws are his covenant with mankind

Which are his promises and provision?

The finished work at the cross, released: Gods mercy, God’s grace, Gods favor and Gods authorization, our authority under the name of Jesus.

And it is all manifested through…

Commission

To empower or authorize by commission

An authorization to perform certain duties

Authority to act for another.

DECEIVED BY LYING SPIRITS

DECEIVED BY LYING SPIRITS

2 Thessalonians 2: 1-3    Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

² That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

³ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Falling away means there will be a great rebellion against God, and the man of lawlessness is revealed.

2 Thessalonians 2:7   ⁷ For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

The mystery of iniquity doth already work is concerning false teachings by false teachers.

Only he who now letteth will let. The let here is the church.

Who now let’s, means who now hinders evil will let or will continue to hinder. Until the church be taken out of the way.

For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one holding it back steps out of the way.

Until the church is raptured, which is the one holding back the antichrist, and steps out of the way it will remain secretly.

The pronoun He is speaking of, confuses most people. In verse 4 and 6 the pronoun He is referring to the antichrist. In verse 7 He is referring to the church.

The lying spirits of Jezebel and the antichrist of today will lead to the man of lawlessness.

2 Thessalonians 2:11   ¹¹ And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

And for this cause is referring to the rejection of Christ and the cross. God shall send them strong delusions. This is the ones who don’t want the truth. They will see a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie is pertaining to anything that leads a person away from the cross.

The work that this antichrist will do is already going on, look at America, look at the rest of the world, their eyes have been blinded to the truth.

Matthew 15:   ¹⁴ Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Some of our leaders are blind, and still they choose to lead, thinking they are doing the right thing. Strong delusion has been sent for many years to let America know they need spiritual guidance to fulfill Gods great plan.

Psalms 75:6-7   ⁶ For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

⁷ But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

The antichrist will claim great things, in all actuality he will be able to so nothing that is lasting. But God is the judge, he puts down one and sets up another in the strict interp0retation of this verse. It means that the Lord will put down the antichrist and set up the Lord Jesus Christ.

Daniel 2:21   ²¹ And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Before Trump we just had eight years of deception and lies with a leader with almost limitless powers, and all the time he was tearing America apart.

From verse 21 we see that God is in control and he does remove kings and He does change the times, and he does set up kings as He chooses.

Massive amounts of young men have been entering Europe but very few of the women and children. The percentage of refugees are 72% men, 15% children, and only 13% women.

From the media images, you would think that mostly women and children are crossing into Europe… Fake news.

History proves that a country that ends up with high numbers of such individuals, men, show a dramatic increase in violent crimes.

These nations with such a high number of unattached males are more likely to engage in an aggressive military action.

These young males are the labor force that will be the army to rebuild the war-ravaged land, or the military age men to protect it.

Matthew 24: 4-5   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.

Jesus said to them, I will now give the future of Israel and how it will affect the entirety of the world.

Take heed that no man deceives you, places deception as Satan’s greatest weapon.

2 Corinthians 11:13   ¹³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

They have no rightful claim to the apostolic office. They are deceivers. They called themselves to this office. This is why Jesus says take heed. Be careful.

2 Thessalonians 2:11   ¹¹ And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Context shows that the lie referred to here is: the belief that the anti-Christ is god.

PERILOUS TIMES

PERILOUS TIMES

Jeremiah 29:11   ¹¹ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

With obedience to the Lord, with a sincere attempt to follow Gods ways and his words, His thoughts toward us are always thoughts of peace, not of evil.

God is always up to something good, I am sure we would all agree on that, especially if you are a believer. Sometimes it is not easy to believe, this past year has proven that.

We always want to believe that God is up to something good. With what is going on in the news these days, telling us of impending economic disaster it can be so hard to believe. If someone we love gets cancer or some other awful disease it is hard to have more faith than fear.

In our natural way of thinking we want to believe it is God doing this stuff, After all the news can’t be all wrong.

When we base our lives on the worldly news our efforts fail. We fail to see what we are hoping for from God, we start to feel afraid and those feelings will lead us into despair and all hope vanishes.

This leads us to take matters into our own hands instead of trusting God to make a way for us. We jump over into the natural, worldly way of thinking.

The results of this will only leave us physically and emotionally drained, leaving us worse off than we were before we started.

Think about this, let it sink into your heart. I want to let you know that it is okay, God has got this handled and we have all been there.

It is important to recognize who is behind the worldly things that is happening in our world today. It is the strategy of our enemy, the devil, deceiving people into thinking it is okay to kill, steal and destroy.

By distracting and deceiving us with a powerful lie, telling us God is withholding something good from us. Our efforts and striving can not bring freedom and victory to our lives, it has been and always will be the grace of God that brings the victory.

Satan has pointed to economic setbacks and overwhelming fear as proof. He has used this strategy for thousands of years and is still using it very well to influence people’s minds.

There is a way to walk in victory and freedom from the lies of the enemy. These lies are a spirit of pride, a spirit that says, I know better than God. It is deceptive and will work its way into your thinking, often without you realizing what is happening.

1 Corinthians 15:10   ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

By His grace concerns the favor or mercy of God.

John 1:17   ¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

It will always be the grace of God that brings good things into our lives, not our own efforts.

God is still God and He is very well caught up on everything that is going on in this world, he knows who is behind it and what the outcome will be.

However, it is not what the government wants it is about Gods plan for all of us. The bottom line is the way it turns out in the end. Here is what happens to people that think they are smarter than God and do things the way they want.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12   ⁹ Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

¹⁰ And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹¹ And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

¹² That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

This is because they reject Christ Jesus and the cross. If one turns away from the truth, God will send them a strong delusion. Delusion means a misleading of the mind.

That is what is wrong with the world today, our enemy the devil who is called Satan has caused a great delusion in our government. It is so deep that it is totally out of control.

Hebrews 6:18-19   ¹⁸ That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

¹⁹ Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

The horror of being in this world without hope and being in this world without God. Hope is the anchor of the soul, with hope springing forth from the Word of God.

Hope is sure and steadfast. It is set before us in the gospel and Gods promises. It is filled with faith and able to enter the holiest of holies, we shall settle in heaven forever.

To live in this hope is a loving way without a sin consciousness. Everything you want is in the word. When the worlds banks are empty, God still has plenty for us. Will you know how to receive it from Him?

PROSPERITY

PROSPERITY

 

Why should we prosper?

Financial prosperity has been a subject that never fails to light a fire in people. Sometimes that fire is one of faith, in others it is a fire of a less favorable kind.

What makes it such a volatile issue? The simple fact that in the minds of many people money is a dirty business. They have seen it tied up so often with carnality and corruption that they just can’t believe that God would ever give any more money than we absolutely need.

Why would he, is a good question. Since we will never fully understand Gods will about prosperity until we know the why behind it. The why is one of the questions we all need to know the answer to.

Think for a moment, what is Gods reason for prospering his people? Is it so we can watch bigger tv’s or so we can buy finer houses and more luxurious cars?

If you’re like most people it may be difficult for you to even imagine any other reason for prosperity. That is because for the most part your ideas about money have been shaped by a world view that pursues it strictly for the purpose of selfishness and greed. In the word of God the Lord provides us with two entirely different purposes for prosperity.

Deuteronomy 8:18   ¹⁸ But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

They were to be watchful so prosperity cause them to forget the redeemer who delivered them from the bondage of Egypt and they were to guard against thinking that their prosperity was due to their own intelligence and their own power.

God intends for us to use the wealth he gives us to help establish his covenant on earth.

Ephesians 4:28   ²⁸ Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Establishing Gods covenant on earth and giving to those in need. That is the purpose of Gods prosperity in your life.

It is absolutely tragic how foreign that is to the way most people think. I have actually heard people say, “I don’t need much prosperity, I am a simple person with a simple life. I just ask for God to meet my needs.”

They think that is having humility, its not, it is actually selfishness. They could have asked God for a enough to meet their own needs and the needs of others around them.

That doesn’t occur to them because when it comes to money brainwashed by a world that says if you have it you have to keep it. What those people are saying is, I only care about meeting my own needs.

Jesus never built a worldly empire for himself, that doesn’t mean he was poor. He was the greatest giver who ever walked the face of the Earth.

It is time to stop pretending that money is not important. God knows it is and you should know it too. That is why he said where your money is that is where you heart is.

Matthew 6:19-21   ¹⁹ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

²⁰ But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Psalms 73:12   ¹² Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

Most of us don’t realize there are two different types of prosperity, one from the world and one from the word. This psalm is speaking of the one from the world. The ungodly who prosper in the world increase in riches.

Let the word of God inspire you to leave the world behind an prosper in faith, to reach out and receive what you as a redeemed child of the living God have a divine right to. You are not to receive the curse of poverty, but the blessings of prosperity.

3 John 2   ² Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

This is referring to financial prosperity and should be the cases for every believer and be in health, speaks of physical prosperity, as your soul prospers is speaking of spiritual prosperity. We have here the whole gospel for the whole man.

One of the reasons people don’t prosper is not because of lack of faith, but our doubt when we are praying for prosperity. A tiny amount of doubt will cancel your faith and keep you from receiving what God has for you.

Stop thinking God will prosper others but not me.

That’s a lie of the devil. Don’t be deceived, God loves you whether or not your prosperous. Prosperity has nothing to do with Gods love for you.

There is to much money in this world and not enough love for the one who created the world. The love of money is the root of all evil, not the money itself.

Mark 10:29-30   ²⁹ And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

³⁰ But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

The bible presents no data to support the idea that being wealthy is wrong. In fact, we find evidence to the contrary. The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and no sorrow is added with it.

Scripture also offers many notable examples of Godly wealthy people: Job, Abraham, Barnabas and Philemon.

God does not disapprove of people with money but does speak out against those who rely on riches as it is in the following verse.

Mark 10:23-24   ²³ And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

Jesus also said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Proverbs 11:28   ²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

You see why Jesus said it would be hard to be rich. It is because most rich people stop trusting God and start trusting in their money. Therefore, the money gets the glory, not God.

People, even Christians don’t seem to understand the importance of money. Everything, even money belongs to God. Human beings own nothing. Everything you have belongs to God. It is only on loan to you to sustain you and help others.

TRANSFERING THE WORD BY DECREEING AND DECLARING

TRANSFERING THE WORD BY  DECREEING AND DECLARING

Philippians 1:6   Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Paul is saying, be confident, or have confidence in what he is teaching: so, what is this very thing?

It’s the good news that God invested in you, when you made Jesus lord of your life through faith.

That this word of faith will perform or finish this work or, this very thing, until the day of Jesus Christ.

Paul was communicating the word from what god told him, to the Philippian church

Paul is saying, have confidence in God’s holy word.

The word confidence means, an assurance of mind or firm belief in the trustworthiness of another, or in the truth and reality of a fact.

Galatians 6:6-7   let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

7      be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Let the person that has been taught about the word of God, then, that person should communicate with the one that does the teaching.

That’s how we grow in the word, through communication with the one that does the teaching.

we grow through communication.

The word communication means, to make known, that is to share or participate, the good news of Christ Jesus.

It also means to transfer or release the power and authority from faith.

You can’t transfer or release something you don’t have or something you don’t know.

So how do we get this word, so we can transfer or release it in our spiritual lives?

Roman 10:17   so then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Hearing by the word of God is the communication that transfers or releases the power and authority from faith.

That the forces of faith, might become effectual, or have adequate power to produce what the word through faith says. what the word says it will do.

You also release those forces of faith by acknowledging every good thing which is in you by Christ Jesus.

It is by faith that you release or transfer that communication from your spirit to your body.

Your spirit man is the real you. Your body is just the house the spirit lives in.

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

Faith is not just a word, faith is a substance, it is the evidence of things not seen.

You need to stay alert, and acknowledge this “good thing” which is in you in Christ Jesus.

You must believe and confess the reality of the soul, spirit and the word, and that the power of it is real.

That reality and power will transfer knowledge from the spirit man to the natural man.

We need to be confident of the good work of God, which he will perform in you.

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.

When God speaks… things take action, when you speak, your words activate the power of God.

Life and death is in the tongue of the believer.

His word shall accomplish that which he pleases, and it shall prosper in the thing where he sends it.

3 john 1:2   beloved i wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Once you realize you can release you’re healing in your body through the stripes of Jesus, you can overcome sickness.

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

Speak the word, it works.

When you speak his word, it activates and transfers Gods power and authority from your spirit which is supernatural to the body, which is natural.

Isaiah 54:17   no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. this is the heritage of the servants of the lord.

No weapon, natural or supernatural, will prosper against you. we are the heritage of the lord.

Start trusting God, he is still in control. don’t lean on your natural understanding.

Speak to your brain tell it you are in charge and for it to do its job.  let it know that it has been slack lately and you are not happy about it.

Tell it to line up with the mind of Christ Jesus and the word of God.

Your brain’s job is to regulate the body. if your body hurts speak to the hurt, tell it you are in control.

Talk to your finances, tell them to get in line with the word of God.

Let the spiritual body tell the natural body who is boss.

Reach out and take this power and authority that Jesus paid for, and invested in you so that you might be strong and fight that good fight of faith.

Now you see why you can’t please God without faith.

The very thing Paul was talking about was the blessed hope in Christ Jesus.

ACKNOWLEDGING THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU

ACKNOWLEDGING THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU

Philippians 1:6   ⁶ Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Your faith becomes effective, after, you acknowledge every good thing which is in you, by and in Christ Jesus. We as believers must be confident in God’s living word; being fully assured and certain that when we speak the word it will accomplish what we say and not entertain any suspicions or doubts.

Why is it that we believe when we say the sinners prayer that we are saved by grace and if we die or when the rapture comes we will go to heaven, but when any circumstance comes up in our lives we say oh God what am I going to do? What will happen to me?

There are too many I’s in the equation. It has never been about what we think, it is about what Gods word says. Gods word is an assurance of the mind or a firm belief in the reality of the truth, followed by confidence in the mercy and grace of God.

It is all about trusting God and having confidence in His promises.

2 Corinthians 1:20-22   ²⁰ For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

²¹ Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

²² Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

This means all of the promises of God is in and through Christ Jesus. They are made possible in our life meant for our abundant benefit. Jesus came that we may have life and life more abundantly. Yes, and amen means these promises will never change.

Psalms 36:7   ⁷ How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

God being who he is and in his loving kindness has prepared everything we need that we might trust him. He will cover you under the shadow of his wings, he will keep a hedge around you and give his angels charge over you.

Psalms 91:4   ⁴ He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Verses 10-11   ¹⁰ There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

¹¹ For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Gods promises are our armor of protection

1 Timothy 4:9-11   ⁹ This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

¹⁰ For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

¹¹ These things command and teach.

The key decision in life is to determine in who or in what to place one’s trust. Trusting God requires dying to self and sometimes suffering reproach, which means we as teachers’, preachers and soul winners will be blamed for things. As Paul was. We are to teach and command these things.

John 16:13   ¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

You can’t be thinking, what can I do, and be led by the Holy Spirit at the same time. You are being pulled two different ways and that won’t work. That will cause confusion. It is up to us to decide if we want to be led by self or by the Holy Spirit.

Today we are standing on a cross road and our time is running out. We need to decide what route we going to run on. Self or the leading of the Holy Spirit.

No one can make this choice for you, nor can your pastor, or even God because we have a free God given will. It is up to each of us alone to choose who or what we will follow. Gods way or the way of the world. Your going to spend eternity somewhere. The only way to spend it in heaven is to Choose God and his way, which leads us by the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 10:23   ²³ O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Man is a spiritual being; we are tied to our creator who is God. Without the direction of the Holy Spirit, God our creator we will wander helplessly in the way of the world.

This is why I’m teaching on this topic. Some choices we make could cost us a very high price. Satan would just love to deceive us into believing our way of thinking in the flesh is greater than that of the one who created us. Even greater than the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 6:14   ⁴ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Most people don’t understand that what is written in the bible was not written for unbelievers. There are only two fellowships in the world, and only two. All people belong either to one or the other. No one can belong to both and claim to be a Christian. Your choice is with the world or with the word.

Matthew 7:21-23   ²¹ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Here the word is talking about the ones that tried to live by both ways. Because of the choices they made they will pay a very high price.

The ones who have eyes and don’t see and ears and refuse to hear, and a mind that doesn’t understand are unlearned and will be rejected at the white throne judgment where they read out of the book of life.

They could not understand the word because it is a spiritual book, to read and understand the word of God you must have the wisdom of discernment of the Holy Spirit. To receive this wisdom and discernment you must first accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and make him the Lord of your life.

John 3:16-18   ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

God gave his son up to the cross out of the God kind of love. That is what it took to redeem humanity. The object of Christ’s mission was to save. Rejection of him can only lead to condemnation.

Jesus is the only salvation for the world. There is no other salvation. Salvation is never by works, but rather by grace through faith in Christ Jesus.
