Angels in Disquise

12 Replies

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2

You see a homeless man on the street, what is your reaction? Do you pretend to ignore him or do you offer whatever you have in your pocket? You see a handicapped person, do you look at them with affection or judgment because you don’t understand them?

The way you react to other people, reflects what truly is in your heart. God doesn’t need to know how many times you read the Bible, he can tell by your reaction to the meek. Could it be these people you’ve come in contact with were really “Angels in Disguise” ? While you look at them with disgust, they are looking at your heart.

(Matthew 5:5) “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”

“Dog Eat Dog” “Only the Strong Survive” “Sink or Swim.”  These are the messages the world tell us. But the world is wrong, because it’s blinded by the deceit of Satan.  As Jesus said “So the last shall be first, and the first last:” What? Did Jesus just blow your mind? How many people did you crush to get to the top only to find out you’re going to be last?

What do we learn from the “Angels in Disguise”? Our natural reaction is we change or save them, but the reality is we are the ones that need to changed or saved. Their mission is to teach us what human life is really about and not what we think it’s about.

(1 Samuel 16:7) ” But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

We judge from the outward appearance, but God looks at our hearts. They say that 80% of all communication is nonverbal, why? Because as humans we study each other. If you want to truly “inherit the Earth” we need to renew our minds, soften our hearts, and become meek.

This is the mission the “Angels in Disguise” teach us.  They take our hardened hearts and give us a heart transplant, where we learn to love like Jesus. Maybe you had an encounter with one of these Angels, next time you do, show them love like Jesus showed you. Amen

Only Way To Heaven

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

 

A few years ago Oprah Winfrey said on her show that all religions lead to the same God and take you to heaven. This is not only wrong but is totally Anti Christ.  Jesus clearly told us he is the only way to God and to eternal life.

So you might ask why? If a religion or beliefs are “good” people why is Jesus the only way to Heaven? Very simply nobody else redeemed us except Jesus thru his sacrifice on the cross.

(Romans 3:23) “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

 

To understand what Jesus did for us on the cross we first need to understand the “Curse of Adam”. When Adam and Eve choose to eat from the “forbidden fruit” they cursed us all. We are all born sinners and mortal. The only way to salvation and eternal life is thru Jesus.

Any other religion or prophet can’t redeem you from your sins. Without being born again thru Christ you are unworthy to stand before God and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

(1 John 1:8) “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

 

Many will say they are “good” people and don’t need Jesus. But not only are they deceiving themselves, they are throwing there lives away. Nobody except Jesus has ever walked the Earth and not sinned.
The problem with sin is it’s an abomination of God and didn’t come from God. Therefor sin will not be acceptable in Heaven, the only way to be redeemed is thru the blood of Jesus Christ.

(1 John 2:22) “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”

 

Anyone who denies Jesus as the Messiah is an Anti Christ. Even though there will be one great Anti Christ one day, there are many among us today. But know this anyone who denies Jesus also denies God. Therefor there religion or beliefs are Satanic for they don’t come from God.

Jesus is the only way to God and Heaven, any other way is a road to hell. Don’t listen to anyone who denies Jesus as Christ. Only thru the Son will you get to the Father in Jesus name Amen

All Things Are Possible

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

The other night I was watching a Greys Anatomy episode with my wife, where the couple found out there baby was going to be born with birth defects and were advised to induce labor and let the baby die prematurely.

The mother was a devout Christian her entire life and believed God might be able to save her child, while her husband was an Atheist and believed the child’s life was doomed.

Eventually the mother gave in to everyone’s advice and prematurely induced her labor eventually resulting in the baby’s death.  Honestly it was a powerful episode and can’t help but make you think about the afterlife whether you believe in God or not.

(Matthew 17:20)” And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you”

The Atheist father said he did believe in miracles and did see some happen, but they both believed this situation would be too much for God.

Makes me think, at what point do we limit God ourselves? Jesus said that “All things are possible” do we really believe that? At what point do we say that’s impossible this can’t be done?

This is why Jesus said if we have faith as small as a Mustard seed we can move mountains. Faith is really more difficult than we perceive. We can say we have faith, but when the time comes and were at the edge do we really have it? Are we really willing to let go all control and hand it over to God?

(John 11:43)” And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.”

Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, and unthinkable event that was witnessed by many people, our human minds try to comprehend this, how can this happen? The reality is just need to trust in God and not lean on our own understandings.

Before Jesus raised Lazarus he asked Martha “And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” and she replied “She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”

Her faith was confirmed therefor she received God’s blessing, see we can’t activate God’s miracles without having faith. Even though it may seem impossible, NOTHING is impossible for God, in Jesus name Amen

Family of God

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Matthew 12:50

 

With all the racism and division in the world, we need to understand we are all one family thru Jesus Christ. If you hate your neighbor, you hate your brother. We need to learn to love each other as Jesus loved us.

No longer are you condemned to this world but are entitled as a Citizen of Heaven to live in Victory thru Jesus. Doesn’t matter what faults or curses your Earthly family may have endured, that has all passed away and you are now a New Creature thru Jesus Christ

(Galatians 3:28) “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”

 

With the new covenant established by Jesus we are now part of the “Family of God”. Nor Jew Nor Greek, it doesn’t matter, give yourself to Jesus and your now part of the same family of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

We were all made in the image of God and thru the blood of Jesus we are all the Children of God. There is nothing on this Earth that can separate us from God anymore once you established the convenant of being reborn.

(John 1:12) “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God “

 

Once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour you are anointed a Child of God. You are the creation of the Almighty Yahweh who also created the Heavens and Earth and spun the stars and galaxies in place.

The anointing of the blood of Jesus restores us all. Satan no longer has a hold on you no more, the chains have been broken, amazing grace how sweet the sound

(Romans 8:14) “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.”

 

Once you are filled with the Holy Spirit you are never the same, the blind can see the deaf can hear. Truth is revealed to us all and then we understand we are all one thru Christ we are all the Children of God

Accept Jesus are your Lord and Saviour become filled with the Holy Spirit and you will see and become a Child of the Most High God in Jesus name Amen

 

House built by God

1 Reply

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. Hebrews 3:4

Many people believe you can build a nice big house, fill it with some stuff, have a few children, and presto you have a family.  But without love there is no family, a house doesn’t make a home.

To have a happy family we need Jesus to be the center of it all. You can live in a mansion but without love it’ as pleasant as living in a ditch. God is love, and the only way to God is thru Jesus Christ. When we fill our hearts with Christ we fill our homes with love.

(1 John 4:7) “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”

God is Love, until we know God thru Jesus we don’t truly know love. It is important for us to be the Godhead of our families and lead them to a happy and fulfilling life.  Most parents nowadays try to fill there children’s void with material items which will never bring fulfilment or purpose.

Possessions in the world are temporary and fade like the grass, but the Love of God lasts forever. It will encourage and empower them to live a meaningful life.

(Matthew 7:24) “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:”

Build your house upon the Rock, meaning build your home on the Word of God. When you build a solid foundation for your family you will then be able to endure hardships and troubles when they arise.

Every family is going to have there challenges and problems, but when you’re the Godhead of your family and built your home on “The Rock” you will prevail. Many problems in this world are caused from within the home. We need to get back to God’s original plan of building our house on “The Rock”

(Proverbs 14:1) “The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.”

Both parents play a key role in the success of the home, parents need to be a team. Most importantly they both need to be following God. If one parent is leading one way and the other parent is leading the other way then you have division. We know what Jesus said about division, (Matthew 12:25) Every house divided against itself will not stand”

It’s important as parents and Godheads that we are united, and don’t foolishly tear down on own home. Make Jesus the center of your home and your home shall stand on “The Rock’ with peace and love in Jesus name Amen

God is calling You

Leave a reply

For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14

 

A survey from Forbes revealed over 70% of people dislike there current job, could it be we are not satifisfied with our careers because we have a higher calling from God?  Think about the driving force behind your career, is it motivated by God or money?

God has a special purpose for every one of us, if we listen to him he will direct our steps to do his will and bring fulfillment in our lives.

(Matthew 9:37) ” Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;”

 

The labourers are few, why? Because many fail to answer there calling by God. We blindly direct our own steps, but the harvest is plentiful, God is calling you and has a higher purpose for your life.

We have been called to be disciples of Christ, to spread the gospel around the world and let people know the good news, there is victory with Jesus and we are no longer slaves to death anymore

(1 Corinthians 3:9) “For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.”

 

We are God’s church, his labourers to do his will and spread the Gospel, when we put God first instead of ourselves we will truly then be prosperous.

Jesus is the cornerstone of us, he is the Word , truth , and the way. Follow him and lead the lost to the cross of salvation. Theres a lot of help needed in this world, one by one we can make a difference, just takes a spark to start a fire.

(Matthew 29:19) “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”

 

God is calling you now, to spread the gospel of Christ thru the whole world, there is no greater mission. Some will refuse to hear, but as Jesus said “Shake the dust off your feet and move to the next town”.

When we continue to live for ourselves we will continue to live unsatisfied, live for Jesus , God is calling you today, make an eternal difference in peoples lives in Jesus name Amen

By His Stripes

byhisstripesBut he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

Why did Jesus allow himself to be beaten and tortured, it was all for YOU.. By the curse of Adam we are all sinners and all are mortal. But by the Stripes of Jesus Christ we are now healed and redeemed to live forever.

Amazing the Prophet Isaiah predicted Jesus would do this 700 years before he was even born. God knew that we couldn’t save ourselves so he sent his only begotten Son.

(John 3:16) “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.”

Do you believe that Jesus is your Messiah? If so by his stripes you are healed and will have everlasting life. Jesus loves you so much he took your sins and washed them away so you are worthy to stand before God in his Kingdom.

(Romans 4:25) “Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.”

Jesus was delivered on the cross as a sacrifice for YOU. It’s only because of our sins he had to lay down his life. It’s only by him we have hope and life, that’s why you should worship him. There is no greater love and Jesus who laid down his life for us. Nothing greater

(1 Peter 2:24) “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.”

He bore Our sins, Jesus was sinless. The lamb was slain for our transgressions. How much more love do you need to believe?

Peter references the word Tree in this scripture instead of Cross as symbolic. Meaning Jesus died for us all even the outcasts, the lowly labeled not worthy, Jesus died for you also. By His Stripes We are Healed. Give praise to the L

40 days in the Wilderness

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. Matthew 4:1-2

For forty days Jesus wandered the wilderness, he faced many challenges hunger, tiredness, but his biggest challenge was Satan.  Thru this journey we learned a lot.

We learned how Jesus persevered even though he was physically and mentally exhausted, he didn’t let his guard down. He pressed on.  We also learned about Satan, how thru his deceit and manipulation tries to twist the Word of God to trick people into following him.

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:3-4)

Notice Satan is called the tempter here, this is how Satan tries to get all of us thru temptation. He knew Jesus was hungry so he wanted to attack his weakness.

Jesus could have turned the stones into bread to prove he’s the Son of God. But would have that accomplished the will of God or fall into Satan’s egotistical trap? Jesus also pointed out food might get the physical body life but the Word of God gives our souls spiritual life.

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Matthew 4:5-7

Again Satan challenges Jesus and tempting him into proving himself. Notice also Satan uses the Word of God to challenge Jesus.  (Psalm 91:11 “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”)  But Jesus corrects him the correct scripture, Deuteronomy 6:16” Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God”  Beware of other false prophets and religions that twist scriptures like Satan to follow them

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him.” Matthew 4:8-10

Satan promises the kingdom of the world to tempt Jesus to worship him, it shows you were Satans kingdom is located, right here on Earth.  And notice Jesus commands Satan to go away and he leaves. We can also follow this principle (James 4:7)” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” When Satan is after you resist him and tell him to leave.

“Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.”  Matthew 4:11

After this long ordeal Jesus is mentally and physically exhausted. Notice the angels come to be with him, during hard times we should comfort and minister to one another also (Proverbs 27:17)” Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”

So as you worship this “Ash Wednesday”  remember Jesus 40 days in the wilderness and the lessons and perseverance he showed us all in Jesus Name Amen

New Creatures

5 Replies

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior you’re not just a Christian but you are a “New Creature” You have been born again, your old self has passed away and you are reborn.  Make no mistake this process doesn’t happen overnight, it begins a lifelong journey to follow Christ.

(Ephesians 4:24) “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;”

The transformation of being a “New Creature” is the renewing of your mind. When you live for the world you think worldly things. But when you live for Christ, you think heavenly things.

Your former self has passed away, your are a new person with the Holy Spirit living in you. Evil should now be repulsive and unacceptable to you. For everything we do should be for the Glory of God.

(Colossians 3:10) “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:”

When you accept Christ in your heart, you are filled with a new spirit. And with that spirit comes great wisdom and knowledge that can only be obtained by Jesus. Lean not on your own understand and trust in the ways of The Lord.

(Romans 12:2) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Don’t follow the ways of the world, remember the world is under the influence of Satan. He has deceived everyone. The worlds ways only lead to destruction and death. Renew your mind thru Jesus Christ, carry your cross and follow him.

( John 3:3) ” Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus said we will  not see the Kingdom of God until we a born again, until we become a “New Creature” until we transform our minds and stop conforming to the ways of the world.  I pray we believe this and receive this in Jesus name Amen
