Holy Spirit You Are Welcome Here

8 Replies

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.  John 16:7

Jesus begins to teach us about the Holy Spirit, the comforter who he sent from Heaven to take his place as Jesus ascended to his throne next to God

There are many false religions who reject or ignore the Holy Spirit, but as Jesus said in (Matthew 12:32) “Anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin”

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. John 16:8-10

The Holy Spirit is our teacher, he helps us learn the truth and the truth is Jesus. Without the help of the Spirit many are misled by manmade doctrine that is not from God.

How do we know if the Spirit is from God? (1 John 4:2) tells us you know it’s the Holy Spirit if they confess Jesus became God in the Flesh (John 1:14)

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.  He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. John 16:12-13

The Holy Spirit will be your guide, he will not glorify himself but glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He provides 7 gifts that Paul teaches in (1 Corinthians 12)

One of the gifts is prophecy, he will show you things to come as they are already revealed in God’s Word.

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Matthew 12:32

Jesus warned whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. Its unforgivable on Earth and in Heaven, this should be taken very seriously. The Holy Spirit was sent from God as your guide, teacher, comforter, and healer. Welcome the Holy Spirit into your life and watch God do amazing things in Jesus Name Amen

Weapons of Warfare

9 Replies

But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh 2 Corinthians 10:2-3

We are all in a war right now, its not just a war of the flesh but a Spiritual War. While Jesus came to save your soul, Satan wants to destroy your soul. There are greater forces for and against us that we can’t possibly understand. But if you stand with the Word of God, you accept the Blood of Jesus Christ, you will not be defeated.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds 2 Corinthians 10:4

What are our “Weapons of Warfare” that God has equipped us with to defeat Satan?

  • The Blood of Christ
  • Continual Prayer
  • The Word of God
  • The Holy Spirit
  • The Love of God
  • The Church

These are our Weapons, the question is are you using them? Or are you going defenseless in a dark world? That’s like a sheep going to the slaughter.

Jesus is sitting on the throne, he is sitting at the right hand of God. There is no power in this world that is greater. He has already overcome and defeated the world. Thru Christ living in you , you can overcome the world also.

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5

Just like in the Garden of Eden, Satan wants to exalt himself above God. Declaring his Word is false and there is no heaven and hell. But know this Satan is a liar and will be cast into the “Lake of Fire” for eternity. Jesus is the Truth, Life, and the Way nobody gets to Heaven without going thru him

And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 2 Corinthians 10:6

We see a lot of ministers who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. If you’re going to preach the Word of God then you must live the Word of God. Everyone wants to get to Heaven, but only those who are obedient to Gods will are worthy.

Be prepared for the Spiritual War, arm yourself with Gods “Weapons of Warfare”. Know who your enemy is because your enemy knows who you are in Jesus Name Amen

Arise! Shine!

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

There are days when we feel weak, defeated, attacked from every angle. However we need to remember our Lord Jesus defeated death. The world beat him and tortured him but he still rose from grave. No evil in this world can defeat the power of Jesus Christ

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 8:11

And that same power that rose Jesus from the dead is living inside of you thru the Holy Spirit. Satan can’t defeat you as long as you stand with God. There is no power in hell greater than the power of God that spoke planets into existence and breathed life into dust.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Jesus has overcome the world, and because of that with the Holy Spirit , you can overcome the world also. There is no force of darkness in this world that can defeat us with Christ living inside us.

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Isaiah 60:1

So why are you sitting there acting defeated? Why are you laying down and waiting for death? Arise! Shine! For the power of the living God is inside you!  With man it’s impossible but with God all things are possible! God won’t leave us or forsake us, but it’s up to you stand against the evils of this world

Put on your Armor of God and stand against the schemes of the devil, we call do all things thru Christ who give us strength in Jesus Name Amen

Dry Bones

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. Ezekiel Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD Ezekiel Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: Ezekiel 37:3-5

How many of our Churches have become a land of “Dry Bones”? There is no spiritual life in sight, don’t be discouraged for God is the giver of life.

Just as God formed Adam from the dust and breathed life into him, he can do the same to the “Dry Bones” of your congregation. But God needs you to speak for him.

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Ezekiel 37:10

When Ezekiel stayed faithful and prophesied just as God commanded him to, a valley of dead bones turned into a great army. Maybe you’re feeling alone or defeated with your walk with God, don’t be discouraged. With God all things are possible.

Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Ezekiel 37:11

God clearly defines these bones as Gods people of Israel, but don’t think this prophecy has nothing to do with Christianity.

Remember Israel is and always will be Gods people and nation. Thru Christ we have become circumcised at the heart and because of Jesus we are now part of Israel. Everything that happens in the world is centered on Israel, because it’s God nation.

 

And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. 37:14

There is only one way to truly be alive and that’s thru the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If you don’t believe in the Trinity or believe in Israel, then your going to end up like the “Dry Bones” in the valley of Death in Jesus Name Amen

Through The Roof

And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. Mark 2:3-4

Who do you think Jesus is? These men had faith and believed Jesus was the Messiah and not only carried the physically disabled man many miles but took him up on the roof and lowered him down to Jesus.

There were so many people who came to see Jesus that you couldn’t even get close to the door. But these men were determined to see him because they knew he could heal there friend. What lengths do you go to get close to Jesus?

 

When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? Mark 2:5-7

Even though Jesus performed many miracles in the name of God, many doubted and questioned his authority. Still many today doubt or deny Jesus is the Messiah. But Jesus knew there hearts just like he knows ours. Anyone who acknowledges Jesus before others he will acknowledge to God

Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) Mark 2:9-10

So Jesus not only forgave the mans sins but healed him instantly to demonstrate he is the Son of God and had the authority to do so. Jesus is the only way to God and the only way to be redeemed. Trust in Jesus just as this man did and you’ll be saved also.

I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. Mark 2:11-12

An instant of Gods mercy and favor can cure a lifetime of struggle. This man never walked his entire life, but instantly Jesus healed him because of his faith.

Do you believe and trust in Jesus to be your Lord and Savior? Are you willing to go the extra mile to seek him? Most importantly do you have faith he will forgive your sins and heal you? Take the journey to Christ just like these men did in Jesus Name Amen

Through his Poverty You become Rich

4 Replies

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9

Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, he has all the power of God. But yet he lowered himself to a poor man, beaten and hated by the world, so he can save the world and give us eternal life.

Many people when they see the words rich and poor, they automatically think of wealth. But what God is telling us is on a higher level, richness is eternal life, poverty is death.  How will money favor you if your dead?

Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. 2 Corinthians 8: 11-12

Charity begins with the heart, its not about how much you give but your wiliness to give what you have. I think about the story of the Poor Widows Offering in Mark 12:41-43

Many rich people were putting large amounts in the treasury but Jesus observed a poor widow who only gave 2 coins, but that was all she had. Her gift was greater because she gave from the heart

But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: 2 Corinthians 8:14

But as a family, as a Church, as neighbors we should help each other out whenever someone is in need. Then when we are in need someone should help us out also. God intended there to be economic equality not Rich and Poor.

As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack. 2 Corinthians 8:15

Paul quoted a command God gave to the Israelites in Exodus 16, when God was supplying them manna in the desert some received more than others. But when they combined all the mana together there was more than enough for everyone.

This is a valuable lesson as God has supplied some of us with more than others to see what we will do with our abundance. The same is with our Lord Jesus who has everything but gave us everything so we can live also.  Remember there is richness thru poverty when you trust God in Jesus name Amen

Consequences of Sin

6 Replies

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

Many people today are taking sin lightly, they don’t understand not only does sin equal death. But sin also has consequences on you and your family. Yes Jesus died for our sins and he’s willing to forgive them, but you also must strive to live a holy life just like Christ.

Why does God hate sin so much? Because sin equals death. Every sin there is leads to your destruction. Sin comes from Satan and is an act of rebellion against God and his Kingdom.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Genesis 3:19

Adam and Eve literally had the perfect life, they were immortal, living in paradise, and everything was provided for them. But they couldn’t resist the temptations of Satan. Even though God warned them it would equal death, they still went ahead with it.

We all have free will, so they had a right to choose whatever they wanted. But there are consequences for there sin and it equaled death. They once had mortality now they will return to dust just as God commanded.

Since we all are descendants of Adam and Eve, we all have inherited this curse of death. You see Adam and Eve’s sin not only effected there life but impacted humanity. This is why we all need Jesus to save us, he is the only way.

Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. Genesis 21:10

Another example is Abraham, he got tired of waiting for God to deliver him his promised son, so he had a child with his servant. This sin not only brought great distress among there family, but he also disobeyed God.

God still delivered his promise and eventually Sarah and Abraham had the promised son of Isaac. But this only caused greater distress among the household and eventually Ishmael and his mother had to leave.

Many believe the prophet Muhammad is a descendant of Ishmael which obviously originated the Islam religion. If this is true, Abraham’s sin of having adultery consequently has impacted the entire world especially his nation of Israel and all Jews and Christians.

There is a reason God forbids sin, and there is a reason why God takes it so seriously. All your sins have consequences that will impact not only you but your family. Jesus is the only one who has ever walked the Earth and never sinned, follow Jesus and break the curse of sin Amen

Woe To The Shepherds

9 Replies

Woe  to the shepherds of Israel that  feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.Ezekiel 34:3

The leaders of the churches have failed, instead of feeding the poor they inherit great salaries, live in expensive houses, and drive fancy cars. Yet this is exactly the opposite of what God has taught us.

When the leader of the church is richer than the followers, there is obviously a problem here with the Church.
The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. Ezekiel 34:

Jesus spent most of his ministry healing the sick and showing Gods power, but how many Churches are doing this today? How many Churches are actually going out and looking for the lost?

Recent data has showed less people are going to Church and associating with a denomination. Could it be people are seeing the greed of the Churches and not seeing the love of Christ?
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. Ezekiel 34:10

Make no mistake about it God sees all and these corrupted leaders will be punished. It’s a great responsibility to take an oath with God and lead the body of a Church. Those who abuse there power will  feel the wrath of God.

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.Ezekiel 34:16

But Jesus is the Head and Cornerstone of the Church, he is the Good Shepherd and he will seek and find you. All who answer his calling shall be saved and shall receive mercy. Take peace in knowing this in Jesus Name Amen

The AntiChrist

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; 2 Thessalonians 2:3

Satan is called the great deceiver and he will deceive the entire world with one man, the Anti Christ, know who you are following, know the truth which is only found in the Word of God

His intentions will appear to be good but his purpose  is for the destruction of humanity, to remove God from the world and take as many souls to hell with him.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4

The Anti Christ will eventually rise up and convince others that he is a God, he will perform great miracles and wonders, but they will be done in the name of Satan and not God. He will deceive entire world into worshipping him and his false one world religion.

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

The war between good and evil has been ongoing since the fall of Adam. But once the followers of Jesus Christ are raptured from the Earth, hell will be unleashed upon the Earth.

There will be no more righteous Christians in this world who continually battle Satan and his demons. All that will be left are the lawless ones and those who rejected Jesus as there Lord and Savior.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 2 Thessalonians 2:8

And then the day will come when Jesus returns with his army of Angels and destroys Satan and his followers and throws them in the pit of hell.

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.2 Thessalonians 2:12

It’s very simple your either following Jesus or your following Satan, there is no other way. Those who follow the world and The Anti Christ will be cast into the lake of fire.

Are you ready for the return of the King of Kings, Lord Jesus Christ? Have you accepted him as your Lord and Savior? Time is running out, the war is coming to an end and we have eternal victory in Jesus Name Amen

Happy Labor Day

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

As we celebrate the long Labor Day weekend we have a peaceful feeling knowing we get an extra day of rest, an extra day to spend with our families, and an extra day away from our stressful jobs.

This is what our Lord Jesus offers us every day, he is the Prince of Peace because he gives us the peace and strength that nothing else in the world can provide.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29

A yoke was the crossbar placed over the animals heads to plow the fields, many times we feel like this with our life. Maybe we feel overburdened or over whelmed by life.

But Jesus tells us to Cast all our Cares on him, because he loves us. He is our redeemer who loved us even when we never knew him.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:30

Jesus restores and heals, he can take our burdens from us and renew us.He resurrected the dead, made the blind see, made the lame walk, he can restore your burdens also.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me Philippians 4:11.

Just as Paul said I learned to be content in every situation because he relied on Jesus to give him strength, we should do the same. When life gets hard, your faith needs to work harder.

Let Jesus take your burden, let Jesus take that yoke around your neck, and say I can do all things in Christ who gives you strength Amen
