You are Worth More Than Many Sparrows

11 Replies

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Matthew 10:27

Many times we find God in our darkest hour, but the hope and salvation we uncover needs to be shared and spread to everyone.  You are the light of the world, let your light shine before others so they can see the Glory of God

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28

But be prepared, when you speak the truth of Jesus you will be hated. Evil people don’t want to hear righteous things.  But God created your soul and he is the only one who can deliver your soul, nobody else can take that away from you.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. Matthew 10:29

Ironically you can learn more from observing birds than you can from reading the latest self help book. Do birds stress out and worry there next meal or where there going to live? No they just live and God provides for them, why can’t we live the same way?

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:30-31

You are a child of the Living God, creator of the Heavens and The Earth. You were born with a purpose not by accident, you are somebody special. God knows every hair on your head, he surely knows your struggles and pain. But you must keep enduring because God has promised a new Heaven and Earth where there is no more pain, suffering, or death. Rejoice in the Lord and wait for your King to be coming soon in Jesus Name Amen

Are you Teaching or Just Preaching?

As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation 2 Corinthians 6:1-2

Many times during our daily journey we ask “ Where is God?” We wonder how can this be Gods plan or will, but we must remember to fight the good fight and remain content in all circumstances.

Gods ways our greater than our ways, don’t rely on your own understanding to dictate your path. Let The Lord guide your path and make your paths straight.

We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. 2 Corinthians 6:3

Many times we can become a “stumbling block” for someone seeking Jesus. Have you condemned people without realizing it? This becomes a fine line we have to walk, knowing the difference between teaching and preaching. Anyone can preach the Word but its more effective to actually teach what Gods Word means

Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; 2 Corinthians 6:4-7

Paul endured many hardships and persecution during his ministry. Anyone who questions his motives for Christ just needs to look at his track record. He gained nothing in the world to exact Jesus except many trials because he knew his riches are in Heaven.

Through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 2 Corinthians 6:8-10

Again Paul describes to the world he looks like a fool, because the world worships money and vanity. But to the Kingdom of Heaven, Paul is a rich man. He saved many souls, he broke down boundaries and borders in Jesus name. As Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all the nations, Paul took the lead in doing this.

We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you. We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. As a fair exchange–I speak as to my children–open wide your hearts also. 2 Corinthians 11-13

Many of Pauls revelations he revealed thru Jesus were not popular and wanted. But because Paul loved he spoke the truth anyway in hopes of saving everyone thru Jesus Christ.

How about you today, are just preaching the Word of God or are you actually teaching it so people understand? Does your life reflect your faith? Are your riches in the world or in Heaven? I pray that all churches and ministries focus on the true purpose of Christianity in Jesus Name Amen

Christianity 101

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2

The world is looking for a hero, a role model, a mentor, look no further than Jesus. You want to know how to conduct your daily life, walk the same way Jesus did. There is no greater love than to lay down your life, Jesus did this for us all. Self-sacrifice instead of selfishness is what we should strive for.

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Ephesians 5:3

The same commandments God handed down to Moses are still the same commandments God expects us to follow today. Just because Jesus paid the price for our sins doesn’t mean we can continue to sin freely. There is forgiveness but you are still accountable for your actions, Jesus came to fulfill the law not abolish it.

Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. Ephesians 5:4

Words are powerful, they can bless or curse you. God spoke The Heavens and The Earth into existence, what are you speaking into existence? Use your words to praise the Lord and to encourage one another.

For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person–such a person is an idolater–has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Ephesians 5:5

Our God is a jealous God, when we put things above and ahead of him, we become spiritually weak. No one can serve two masters, if you’re not putting God first then you’re putting something else in his place, which is Idolatry.

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. Ephesians 5:6-7

It’s important who we surround ourselves with, yes Jesus associated with sinners but he didn’t lean on them as close friends. He recruited the 12 disciples a group of men he trusted and he confided in on a daily basis.

Remember Jesus said its better to cut off your hand then to allow it to make you sin, meaning if your friends are causing you to sin or stray from God, better to cut them out of your life then for you to go down with them.

Dear Heavenly Father we thank you for your Word, we thank you for this life you have giving us, we thank you for our Lord Jesus Christ. Please help us to be more like Jesus and love like him and follow your ways in Jesus Name Amen

Jeremiahs Calling

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

God sends Jeremiah a powerful message here, he’s telling him he already knew him before he was sent to Earth, and he already had great plans for him. The world likes to tell us were born by mistake or a random act. But we are Gods children, you are here for a purpose, God knows and loves you!

Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:8

Many times when God calls us to do something, we don’t out of fear of being persecuted. But just as God told Jeremiah, he won’t leave him or forsake him, just as he won’t leave you. If your doing Gods will then he will protect you, if God is for us who can be against us

Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. Jeremiah 1:9

Do you keep quiet when you see injustice because you don’t know what to say? God will speak for you thru the Holy Spirit, don’t be afraid of evil. The Word of God is like a double edged sword and cuts to the heart.

The LORD said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” Jeremiah 1:12

God is watching us to see if we fulfill our destiny or to see if we choose to live for ourselves. Your deeds will not go unnoticed. Even if the world doesn’t notice, your reward will be great in Heaven

Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them. Jeremiah 1:17

Are you ready? Are you prepared? Don’t allow yourself to be caught off guard, stay alert. Always be prepared to do Gods will and spread his word

They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:19

Just as God told Jeremiah, the world will fight against you, but will not defeat you. Don’t be afraid be strong and courageous as God has commanded you.

We can learn a lot from these words exchanged between God and Jeremiah, he’s calling you also, are you listening or resisting. God has made you and set up apart, answer your calling, in Jesus Name Amen

Word of God

You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings–what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 2 Timothy 3:10-11

Paul is a great example of a servant of Christ, he suffered many beatings, thrown in jail many times, they even tried to stone him to death, but God kept delivering Paul. No weapon formed against him would prosper; he truly walked the walk as he talked the talk.

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3:12-13

Jesus told us we would be hated because of him, think about it Satan is going to go after the Christians who truly threaten his Kingdom. The more you Glorify God the more Satan is going to attack you. So you can take comfort and joy knowing you are doing the Will of God enough to make Hell hate you. While Heaven is glorifying your name and God will deliver you.

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3:14-15

Why is it important to study the Word of God everyday? Because God has giving us this gift of Wisdom that will make us wise beyond our years. Only this wisdom can be obtained from The Bible, as we don’t read the Bible, the Bible reads us.  If you say God never speaks to you, it’s probably because you never read the Bible.

 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.  2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Bible is a Gift from God giving to us by the Holy Spirit. God used man to write the words but the words were sent from God. The Word of God is like a double-edged sword that cuts to the heart, because its truth. People of Evil flee from it while the Holy thirst for more.

Embrace the Word of God, learn and live it. It breathes life into the dead and gives justice to weak. See what God has to say to you today in Jesus Name Amen

Walk of Faith

9 Replies

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”   “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. Matthew 14:28-29

Peter took a “Walk of Faith” and decided to trust Jesus would allow him to walk on the water. When he cried out, Jesus immediately responded to him with open arms. See its makes our Lord happy when we have the faith in him.

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Matthew 14:30

But then Peters human mind started to kick in, wait were not supposed to be able to walk on water, and he lost his faith and immediately began to sink.  Jesus said that all things are possible if you have faith in Him.

Notice Peter still remembered to call out to The Lord to save him, even though Peters fall was his own fault due to his lack of faith, Jesus is still willing to save us.

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

Notice it says “Immediately” Jesus reached out for him. Jesus didn’t let him struggled in the water for a while. He took compassion on Peter and saved him immediately.

The Jesus taught him the valuable lesson, its faith that activates Gods miracles, its doubt that stops them.  If you’re going to be taking a “Walk of Faith” today make sure you are all in with God

And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matthew 14:32-33

The Disciples seen how Jesus controlled the winds, walked on the water, and saved Peter, they knew Jesus is truly the Son of God. Do you truly know Jesus? And believe his is the Messiah?

Remember during your daily “Walk of Faith” trust in the Lord and it will activate Gods power in you. And if your drowning, call  upon The Lord and he will save you immediately just as he saved Peter in Jesus Name Amen

You Are What You Think

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he Proverbs 23:7

So what thoughts are on your mind today? Are they thoughts of good or thoughts of evil? Your mind sets the course for your life, first you imagine something, then you obsess over it, then you act on it.

That’s why its important to get control over your mind, allowing negative or evil thoughts continually in your head will only lead to negative or evil actions. Garbage in , garbage out.

And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 1 Corinthians 3:20

God knows your thoughts and he knows your heart. He knows the agenda and purpose you have behind every action. So stop acting like your going to get away with murder, hes the one you will see on judgement day, he knows exactly who you are.

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. Romans 12:2

Become transformed by the renewing of your mind, your not renewed by giving money or dressing up..you need to clean up your mind because you are what you think.

Be careful what music you are listening to or what shows you are watching, they pollute your mind with evil messages. Garbage in, garbage out.

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think you evil in your hearts? Matthew 9:4

When Jesus healed a paralyzed man the Jews spoke against him, claiming he didn’t have the authority to do this.  Jesus saw the evil thoughts in there minds, they weren’t really concerned about the well being of the paralyzed man they were more concerned about the well being of there own egos and religion.

Be careful what thoughts you allow to enter into your mind, don’t allow it to become corrupted and poisoned. Be careful who and what you are listening to. Remember you are what you think in Jesus Name Amen

Wake Up America

Recently in Detroit, Michigan a Satanic Church unveiled a statue of Satan right here in America. Hundreds of followers lined the street waiting to party and pay tribute to Lucifer. Wake up America, you are inviting Satan and his demons to overtake our nation.

The Detroit Police were there to protect the statue and its followers, saying everyone is entitled to there religious beliefs. Really? Does this mean America supports Murder, Rape, and Lawlessness? Because that’s exactly what Satan stands for.

How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? Proverbs 6:9

How long will you Christians lay dormant? When will people wake up and realize were in a Spiritual Warfare right in our backyard?  Without the Armor of God you are defenseless against the evil powers and schemes of Satan.

What’s it going to take to wake you up? Another 9/11 attack? More reports of aborted baby body parts being sold and funded by our government? More removal of God from our schools and constitution?

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober 1 Thessalonians 5:6

As Peter said “Stay Alert and Sober for Satan is like a roaring lion looking to devour you”. Are you Alert and Sober or are you a walking zombie staring at your smart phone inhaling the propaganda the media feeds you?

He that gathers in summer is a wise son: but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame. Proverbs 10:5

Jesus said the Harvest is plentiful by the workers are few, the Harvest is now people. It’s time to get up and speak the Truth, and the Truth is Jesus Christ. He is the same today, yesterday, and forever

Don’t fall asleep or you will perish, don’t allow Satan to take over your nation, your town, your family, and your soul.  The Harvest is ready , come home Prodigal Sons and Daughters in Jesus Name Amen

Never Defeated with Christ

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4:7

The Power of the Living God, that raised Jesus from the dead is living inside or you. No matter what Satan does to you, he can’t take this away, for Jesus has defeated death and conquered the grave.

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

Jesus warned us there will be persecution; the world will hate you because of him. But if God is for us  who can be against us, nothing can defeat the power of God who spoke planets into existence and breathed life into our bodies.

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Corinthians 4:10

Does the world see Christ living inside of you? Some people you are the only Jesus they are ever going to experience, represent Christ with Justice.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 2 Corinthains 4:11-12

Our mortal bodies might be decreasing but our eternal souls are increasing everyday; O death where is your sting? Because Jesus lives we can live also

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 2 Corinthians 4:13

I write these words because I believe these words, for we walk by faith and not by sight. Do you believe?

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.2 Corinthians 4:14

The same way Jesus was resurrected is the same way you will be resurrected; by the love and sacrifice of Jesus you are redeemed; you can’t be defeated by death because you have the power of God living in you in Jesus Name Amen

Prince of Peace

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

Jesus is the Prince of Peace and he not only has giving us the gift of eternal life, but the gift of peace also. As he says he does not give as the world gives. What does he mean by that?

Let’s look at how the world gives, everyone thinks if they only had more money, a bigger house, a newer car, then they would be happy. But you can’t find peace in material objects, you find peace thru Jesus Christ.

“You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. John 14:28

We can also obtain Peace by letting people go, when Jesus was going to die on the cross obviously his disciples were very distraught. But Jesus is telling them I’m going to Heaven to be with God, rejoice for me.

When we lose a loved one it can be very painful also, but we can have peace in knowing they will be in Heaven just like Jesus. It’s a message straight from God, take comfort in knowing this.

I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.
John 14:29

Jesus is prophesying his own resurrection, his disciples may not have understood this at the time , but he came back and visited them to prove he is alive forever. Take comfort in knowing Jesus has conquered death, only thru the Prince of Peace can we have eternal life.

I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come now; let us leave John 14:30-31

Notice Jesus warns them about Satan “Prince of This World”, but he has defeated Satan as he told them he has no hold over me.

Its your choice who your going to follow, the Prince of Peace or the Prince of This World, Jesus has conquered the grave and his peace he gives to us so that we may live today in Peace even thru the chaos of this world in Jesus Name Amen
