Test The Spirits

9 Replies

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1

There are many false prophets and false religions in this world, I know I talk about it a lot but its important you know truth from fiction. It’s easy to be led astray that’s why it’s important you know the Word of God so you can discern the truth.

This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world 1 John 4:2-3

What separates Christians from all other religions, of course Jesus Christ. The word Christ actually means “Messiah” or “Anointed One”, its his title not his name. All other religions are worshiping dead prophets but Jesus lives and reigns forever as the King of King and Lord of Lords.

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is the same spirit living inside you. The Power of God has anointed and equipped you to overcome this world.  Fear doesn’t come from God it comes from Satan

They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 1 John 4:5

You can tell false prophets from the fruit they are bearing, are they reaping worldly riches and possessions or are they doing the will of God and serving his people? A true minister should model there life after Jesus, he gave everything including his own life, to save everyone who is willing to accept it.

We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. 1 John 4:6

The world hates Jesus because he is the truth. You want to truly follow Jesus then be prepared to be crucified on your cross just like he was. But know the world and all its possessions are temporary and will fade away but Gods Kingdom will stand forever.  Jesus will reign King forever, don’t gain the whole world to lose your soul in Jesus Name Amen

Crown of Life

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12

There is a war going on right now for your soul, Jesus wants to save it and Satan wants to destroy it. The question is will you persevere under trial? Is your faith strong enough to stand against the schemes of Satan? Or will you continue to fall for his traps of seduction?  Your prize is the crown of life.

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. James 1:13-14

When we fall for sin who do we blame? Do we blame God for our sins? It’s time to take accountability for yourself. Stop blaming God for your failures and downfalls. You have the power thru Jesus Christ to overcome the world, it’s time to stand up and use it

Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. James 15-16

Our imaginations become breeding grounds for sin, if we let our imaginations get the best of us, sin will get the best of us. This is why we need to renew our minds, and set our minds on things from above and not the things of this world. What you think is what you are. What thoughts is your mind full of today?

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. James 1:17-18

There is only one living God, the creator of the heavens and Earth, and your creator. Everything that you have been blessed with in this world, he blessed you with. He has giving us life and he has giving us grace thru Jesus Christ.

Be strong in the Lord, stand the test of sin today and you will inherit the Crown of Life in Jesus Name Amen

 

Deny Yourself

9 Replies

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24

Most of us think of Christianity as Jesus death and resurrection, but there another part which is our part. In order to truly be a Christian we must deny ourselves and become true disciples of Christ. Jesus is a relationship with God, just like any relationship it’s a two-way street. Jesus did his part for us now it’s up to us to do our part for him.

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. Matthew 16:25

Like Jesus said if you truly want to be reborn you have to let your old self die. That means giving up your worldly lusts for your own pleasure, if you don’t you will just keep falling back into the same traps Satan has planned for you. Become transformed by the renewing of your mind

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? Matthew 16:26

You need to make a choice, is there any sin worth dying for? Is the temporary pleasure you feel today worth death for eternity? Sin leads to death, make no mistake about it so you need to choose.Jesus is not a permanent “Get out of Jail Free” card, God is willing to forgive thru Jesus sacrifice only if you are being honest.

For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done. Matthew 16:27

God doesn’t have a welfare system, everyone is rewarded by the works they have performed for him. What are you doing today for Gods Kingdom? Are you being the Light of the World and The Salt of The Earth? Are you making disciples of all the nations?

“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” Matthew 16:28

Thru Jesus we will have eternal life just as he promised, but we must deny ourselves first , carry your cross, and follow him. Are you willing to do this today, your reward is great in Heaven in Jesus Name Amen

 

New Self thru Christ

9 Replies

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:1-4

Becoming a Christian is more than about just following Jesus, when you accept him your old self died on that cross in Calvary also. And when he was resurrected on the 3rd day, you were resurrected also. For we die and live thru Christ, you have been transformed, set your things on the Kingdom of God and not of this world

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. Colossians 3:5-7

You have become a new creature thru Christ, your sins have been forgiven but that doesn’t give you a free pass to continue to sin. Jesus came to fulfill the law not abolish it, the same laws God handed down to Moses are the same laws we follow today.

But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practicesand have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Colossians 3:8-10

Jesus said its what comes out of your mouth that defiles you, your words have power use them carefully. Learn to forgive and have mercy, blessed are the merciful for they will shown mercy.

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:11-12

We are all one thru Jesus Christ, treat everyone with compassion no matter what race or gender. Treat everyone as your brother and sister in Christ.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:13-14

Jesus is the only one who has authority to judge, have forgiveness and mercy towards one another as Christ has for you. Love one another as Christ has loved us.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:15-17

Jesus is the Prince of Peace, we can all have peace knowing he has already defeated death and has forgiven you. Go in Peace and Stay in Peace, for whatever you do , do it for the Glory of God in Jesus Name Amen

Armor of God

10 Replies

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Ephesians 6:10-11

Many view Christianity as weak but its quit the opposite, the power of God that rose Jesus Christ from the dead is the same power living in you. God has equipped us to stand against Satan thru  the Armor of God

Satan is like a roaring Lion looking to devour you and your family, we need the Armor of God because there is power in the name of Jesus Christ. Demons tremble by the sound of his name, you are equipped and empowered to take a stand.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

When tragedy strikes us instead of turning to God we often try to fight or recover on our own. This is a big mistake, as alone we are powerless against evil, but with the Armor of God we are equipped to fight back against Satan and his demons.

But first we must acknowledge and recognize there is a spiritual world, a world full of angels and demons that is beyond our comprehension. But we are not alone, God will never leave us or forsake us.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peaceEphesians 6:13-15

Equip yourself with the belt of truth in Gods word. You will not waver when you know the truth and the truth shall set you free. The breastplate of righteousness was giving to us by Jesus on the cross, only by his sacrifice, thru him we can stand against anyone. Stay alert and sober with your feet fitted with readiness, don’t let Satan catch you off guard, always be prepared.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:16

For we walk by faith and not by sight, your faith will be tested, but if its strong will not waver and will be able to stand against Satans attacks. Faith is your shield, the stronger your faith the stronger your shield will be to protect you

 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:17-18

Satan is the master at manipulation and mindgames, he’s going to get into your head and make you doubt your faith. But remember we have Salvation thru Jesus, when Satan reminds you of your past remind him of his future.

Finally the Word of God is like a double-edged sword, it cuts right to the heart of the wicked. Why are so many offended by the Bible, because its truth and evil doesn’t like truth.

God has equipped you with his Armor to stand against evil, learn it, live it, and use it because its your only defense against the wicked one in Jesus Name Amen
