Believe in God not Luck

3 Replies

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed John 20:29

 

Well it St. Patrick’s day again, it’s that time when you  hear the famous saying “Luck of the Irish”

There are many times in our life when we probably thought we were “lucky’ to have made it thru, maybe you had a near accident or in the right place at the right time.

But these situations are not luck at all, it’s God blessing you. You might look back and wonder how do I ever survive this? Or how did I just happen to be here? The world will tell you your just lucky but God is telling you your blessed.

(John 11:26) “and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

 

Before Jesus resurrected Lazarus from the dead he asked his sister Martha , does she believe he can do this? Martha confirmed her faith and Jesus rose Lazarus after being dead for four days. Her belief activated her faith. Nobody can say this was just luck, it was a miracle performed by Jesus.

There’s many people in this world who do believe in luck or karma, the universe somehow mysteriously works itself out. But know that God is in complete control, he holds the whole world in his hand, don’t believe in luck , believe in God.

(Psalm 102:25) “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.”

 

God has the whole world in his hands, the world and everything on it is his creation. There are no surprises to God. Maybe your in need of a miracle today? Don’t hope for a lucky break, talk to God he is our hightower, our calm in the storm.

(Romans 8:28) “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

 

Remember God loves you and created you for a purpose, don’t put your false trust in the world to decide your fate. Usually hardships we endure in life are caused by our own bad decisions. Trust in God to guide your life not luck.

As you celebrate St. Patrick’s day remember it not the Luck of the Irish but the Blessings of God the guide our lives in Jesus name Amen

Spirit of God

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Romans 8:11

The Power of God that raised Jesus Christ from the dead, can also be living in you by the Holy Spirit.   How do you view yourself? Defeated or Victorious? Weak or Strong? Cursed or Blessed? What if I told you God wants to fill you also  with this powerful life force?

Satan wants you to live in fear, but fear doesn’t exist when the Spirit of God lives in you. For this same spirit healed the sick, cast out demons, and our greatest victory raised Jesus Christ from the dead

(2 Timothy 1:7) “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

Satan wants to control you with fear, but fear does not come from God. Fear is a method used for control, think about how Satan controls lives thru addictions, diseases, abuse, and death.

But the Spirit of God thru the blood of Jesus Christ breaks those chains. With God there is nothing to fear but The Lord himself, for he is the Almighty Creator, the beginning and the end.

(Isaiah 11:2) “And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;”

This scripture Isaiah prophesized about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Notice he mentions several times the Spirit of God is filled in Jesus. It’s only thru the Holy Spirit that we gain wisdom, understanding, healing, and become renewed.

We can also be filled with the Spirit of God, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, pray without ceasing, develop a relationship with our living God.

(Matthew 3:16) “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:”

The same Spirit of God that descended from Jesus can be alive in you also, many people put limitations on God, but all things are possible with God.

What issues are you faced with today? Are you facing them defeated? Or maybe your not even confronting them at all, stand tall and know that the most power force in the world lives inside you, you can do all thins thru Christ who gives you strength in Jesus name Amen

Set Apart (Walters Message)

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, Galatians 1:15

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/our-son-lived-only-minutes-after-birth-but-has-touched-thousands

Baby Walter only lived a few minutes in this world, but changed the lives for many forever. You see to the medical world, at 19 weeks, Walter is just a “blob of cells” that could be legally aborted. But as the pictures clearly show, Walter is a fully formed child of God.

Walters’s parents are courageous, because they shared their story and pictures to the world, Walters birth can change the world. Walters’s human body may only have lived a few minutes, but his message will live forever, and hopefully save millions of other lives from mothers who are considering abortion.

(Jeremiah 1:5) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;”

Are you considering an abortion? Statistics show that the mother’s life is also greatly effected after the abortion

  • 65% suffer post traumatic stress disorder
  • 6 times greater risk of suicide
  • 44% increased risk of breast cancer
  • 60 % increased risk of miscarriage

You may not understand God’s reason or purpose for your Child’s life but know this God knew us all before we were formed in the womb, don’t destroy Gods plan and most importantly don’t destroy your childs life. They have a destiny and so do you, rise up and be the mother you were called to be.

(Psalm 139:16) “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

God has already written our days in his book, what happens to us is no surprise to God. We may not understand it but God has a purpose for it. To the world Baby Walters life was short, but for God Walters life could change or impact millions of lives if his message is heard.

Don’t ignore Gods message thru Baby Walter, your baby is not a “blob of cells” they are a “Gift from God” Give your child a chance to live there destiny.

(Matthew 19:14) “Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.””

By Jesus’s words we knew that Walter and all other children are in Heaven. For Jesus told us we as adults can’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven until we become like a Child.

I believe God used Walters life here on Earth to send a message to the world that Children are the Heritage of The Lord and they should be praised. Please continue to spread Walters message and change the lives of many forever in Jesus name Amen

Be Still

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14

 

The Israelites were trapped, with the Red Sea in front of them and the Egyptian army behind them. Most of them figured they were going to die, but Moses knew the power of God. Instead of giving up he gave it up to God. And with an act of faith, he raised his staff to the heavens and God not only parted the Red Sea to make a way but destroyed the Egyptian army in the process.

What do we do when faced with a crisis? We usually go into battle mode, think of all strategies we can, call all the connections we know. But when you trust God you have the greatest connection in the universe. Be still and call unto the Lord to fight for you, no enemy is greater than our God.

(Psalm 37:7) “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.”

 

True faith takes patience, sometimes it seems like God has forsaken us but the truth is he is working on your victory.  When our enemies seem to be getting the best of us, usually they are defeating themselves. As God promised he will make our enemies our footstool.

Are you involved with a confrontation right now at home? at work? at school ? Don’t fall into there trap, be still in the Lord and let him fight for you. There is no more powerful force then our Creator.

(Lamentations 3:26) “It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.”

 

They say the worrying is like a rocking chair, takes a lot of energy but you never get anywhere. I know sometimes its easier said then done, but when your enemy has you at your most vulnerable, that’s when you need to take the leap of faith and call upon God.  No need to stress out about how it’s going to happen just give it up to God.

(Psalm 46:10) “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”

 

Next time your faced with a fight, be still and remember God is on the throne. There is no greater force, if God is with us then who can be against us? Don’t focus on how big your enemy is, focus on how big your God is.

God is fighting for you today, your victory is coming soon. No need to stress out just be still and stay in peace with God in Jesus name

Here Comes The Son

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Revelations 1:7

The Earth revolves around and relies on the Sun. A star so bright it can be seen by every human eye even though the Sun is about 150 million kilometers away. So bright if you stare into the Sun it can permanently damage your eyes, as well as burn your skin.

This will be the same with the Return of Jesus, there will be no mistake, and every eye will see him. Jesus is referred to as the “Morning Star” (Revelations 22:16)  Even his enemies will know he has returned and will mourn that day because the ways of the corrupted world about to come to an end.

(Matthew 24:38-40) ” For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

There are a lot of false religions that claim Jesus has already returned, don’t believe these, as described in the scriptures above there will be a “rapture” when Jesus returns, all his followers will be saved from Earth before the “Great Tribulation” begins.

If Jesus already returned there would be no Christians left on Earth, don’t be deceived by false teachings, his arrival will be known to the entire world. He will be the “Lion of Judah” ready to wipe Satan and his followers off the face of the Earth.

(1 Thessalonians 4:17) “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

God will never leave us or forsake us, this is true with the Tribulation also. Jesus will save his followers from the “Hell on Earth” that will begin during this time. You don’t want to be “Left Behind” during this time period.

As the messenger John the Baptist said “Repent for the Kingdom is at Hand” get ready for the return of our King Jesus Christ. Repent your sins, accept him as your savior, and carry your cross to Heaven. Get ready world because “Here Comes The Son”

God is our Provider

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is saidto this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. Genesis 22:14

 

America and the World continue to have economic issues, there is currently about 30 million people still unemployed in America, while Forbes estimates the numbers are actually higher. Even the American that are working are struggling, with governments only solution to everything is to increase taxes.

So during these stressful times, what hope is there? When you understand our God, you understand he is in complete control. Jehovah Jireh means “ The Lord will provide” You need to understand Man is not you provider, God is your provider. You may have been fired or layed off by Man but God has something greater in store for you.

(James 1:17)” Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

 

Every good thing comes from God not Man. Your life, health, family, even your money all come from God not man. Therefore when times get tough, who do you turn to? Do you rely on yourself or someone else to provide for your family? Rely on God, he will provide for you and your family.

God never promised there wouldn’t be hard times, but don’t mistake these hardships from God. However when times do get tough, don’t blame it on God. As the scriptures said all Good things come from God, not bad.Make no mistake we are all under attack from Satan, but God will provide for you, just trust him.

(Isaiah 61:7) “For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.”

 

God promises when we do receive hardship, he will repay us in double if we stay in faith. Six times throughout the Bible God has demonstrated this. Remember God is our provider be he also keeps his promises.

Remember what you reap is what you sow, if you continue to work hard and most importantly stay faithful to God, he will repay you double. Do everything to the Glory of God and not man.

 

(Matthew 6:26) “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

 

Jesus taught us this lesson about the birds, they don’t work for there food, God just provides it to them because he cares for them, and he cares for you even more. Therefor don’t worry whether you will get by in life, God will provide for you!

So next time your in a drought or during a down season, remember God is your provider not man. He provides for the birds and he will provide for you also in Jesus name Amen

 

 

We Are The Clay

Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. Isaiah 64:8

 

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/07/opinion/maynard-assisted-suicide-cancer-dignity/

 

Assisted suicide is legal in 9 countries and 5 states in America. Brittany Maynard, an advocate for “Dying with Dignity” wrote about her decision to use Assisted Suicide when she learned she had a brain tumor.  She said “ I do not want to die. But I am dying. And I want to die on my own terms.”

I sympathize with her and her family but have total control over your life is not realistic. Even if you don’t believe in God, you should know we can’t do everything on our own terms. When we put our trust in God, we develop the peace and understanding to hand things over to God, and let go of the control.

(Psalm 139:16)´” Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

She goes on to say “I would not tell anyone else that he or she should choose death with dignity. My question is: Who has the right to tell me that I don’t deserve this choice? That I deserve to suffer for weeks or months in tremendous amounts of physical and emotional pain? Why should anyone have the right to make that choice for me?”

Who has the right to tell us not to kill ourselves? God is the answer. Before we were even born God hand picked up to fulfill a destiny, do we know more than our creator? Is the clay greater than the potter? How can we fulfill Gods will if we cut our lives short? How can we expect God to create a miracle if we don’t allow him time or the circumstance to perform it?

(John 14:7) 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.”

And then she said “Having this choice at the end of my life has become incredibly important. It has given me a sense of peace during a tumultuous time that otherwise would be dominated by fear, uncertainty and pain

What she really was looking for during this ordeal was peace. Jesus is the only one who can give us that peace, perhaps if she knew him, it could have changed her mind?  When you don’t have the peace of Christ, it also leads to fear and uncertainty. Be strong and courageous for the Lord is with us and won’t forsake us.

(Romans 14:8) “For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s”

 

November 3rd 2014 Brittney Maynard ended her life thru assistant suicide. Her last quote was “”It is people who pause to appreciate life and give thanks who are happiest. If we change our thoughts, we change our world! Love and peace to you all,” she said

I know this was a tough situation for her and the family, however I still believe we need to leave our lives in Gods hands. Let thy will be done, not our will. Could have God delivered her from this cancer? We will never know. Life is a gift from God, we need to learn to savor every moment. There is a higher purpose and deeper meaning to life then we know, there we are the clay and God is the potter, let him mold us as he sees fit, in Jesus name Amen

White as Snow

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool Isaiah 1:18

 

Living in Pennsylvania it’s hard not to think of snow these days, snow can cover the most barren land and make it beautiful, a nice coating of snow will glitter like diamonds in the sunshine.

This is the same Jesus has done for us with our sins, because of is sacrifice on the cross, he has covered our sins and made as pure as snow. Only the blood of Jesus could do this.

(1 John 1:9} “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

 

Jesus will cleanse us of our sins but we must confess, this is hard for us to do sometimes, but we must let go of our pride and let Jesus restore us. There is no one that can’t be saved by Jesus, no matter how far you have gotten of course, he can cleanse you in an instant.

Cleansing is part of the power of God, just like when the Earth was cleansed by Noahs flood, you can be cleaned by the blood of Jesus Christ.

(Psalm 51:7) “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”

 

Hyssop is herb used from the mint family used for medical reasons and cleaning in Biblical days and even still today. It was commonly used through out the Bible including used to put the blood on the door for Passover and even during the crucifixion.

Jesus is the only one that can cleanse us as White as Snow, without him were just still that barren land unworthy and lifeless.

(Matthew 17:2) “And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.”

 

Notice when Jesus became transfigured he was White as Snow, holiness is the Lord. Peter, James, and John became transfigured also once in the presence of The Lord. Only he cleanse us of our sins, only he can make our transgressions “White as Snow”

So next time your shoveling some snow, take a good look , and appreciate the beauty and purity that it displays. And thank Jesus because only thru his blood have we become White as Snow in Jesus name Amen.

Marriage Under God

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Isaiah 40:8

My wife recently showed me an article online that 3 men got married together http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2972542/They-look-like-new-boy-band-s-world-s-THREE-WAY-sex-marriage-Gay-Thai-men-tie-knot-fairytale-ceremony.html

It appears people have decided they will redefine the laws of marriage, even though God defined marriage back in the beginning of creation. When will the redefining end? What are the limitations?  Are humans going to marry animals? Humans marrying robots? Where is the purity of love really in all this?

(Genesis 2:24) “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

God clearly instructed us how a marriage should be between one man and one woman. The two become one flesh, which Jesus also taught (Matthew 19:5). How can you become one flesh with multiple partners? God has created a soul mate for each one of us, when you disobey God and follow your own ideas of love and marriage, you will never meet that soulmate that was designed for you.

(Ephesians 5:22-25) “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Ephesians 5 Paul talks about the Godly roles of marriage, these Godly roles cannot be fulfilled if the marriage is between the same sex or multiple partners. In a Godly marriage the man is to be the Godhead, or spiritual leader, which the wife follows. And the man should love his wife as Jesus loves us, which is Agape love.

These roles work successfully when there is Godly love and mutual respect between man and women, especially since the  “Two became one flesh”. When one abuses there role that’s where these roles will become broken and the marriage breaks down. Being the husband does not mean being a dictator but to live like Jesus and be a spiritual leader thru love, kindness, patience, meekness, and mercy.

(Leviticus 20:13) “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:”

Same sex marriage will never work because it’s an abomination to God, this was never part of God’s original plan for us and he will never bless these marriages. We were created in the image of God to reproduce and raise Godly families. This naturally is impossible with same sex partners, the only purpose for their union is out of their own lusts towards one another.

The world might continue to change our Laws but the Word of God stands forever, and that is a true law for those who plan on living in his Kingdom. So while it may not be a popular choice to the masses, I stand with the Word of God and don’t support Same Sex marriage. I pray that they one day see God’s real purpose for them in life and experience true love thru Jesus Christ Amen.

God of the Living

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Matthew 22:32

The world is obsessed with death, look at the popular TV shows and movies, for example “The Walking Dead” ect. But these people are blind to the fact there is nothing glamorous or humorous about death. Death is permanent, eternal, and most important death does not come from God.

God is God of the living not the dead. Those who glorify death or wish for death are not Godly, therefor Satanic.  Remember God’s original design was for us to be immortal, if you don’t wish for this life then why should you keep it?

 (Genesis 3:4) “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:”

When people pass away most will quickly blame God, but they don’t understand death was never part of God’s plan. Death actually comes from Satan and for those who want to follow him that is where there life will end.

Satan lied to Eve and convinced her to eat from the “Forbidden Fruit”, how many people are still listening to his deceit and eating from his fruit? Because of this we are all cursed with Death, passed down the bloodline thru Adam and Eve.

(Romans 8:2) “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”

By the curse of Adam and Eve we inherited the law of death but thru Jesus Christ we are redeemed. God will never forsake us that is why he sent Jesus to deliver us and establish his new covenant of life.

Satan will always try to make death seem romantic like Romeo and Juliet or Twilight, but the reality is death is not only permanent but is the separation of God. In Heaven there is no death because God is of the living, death
