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

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

Angels in Disquise

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

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

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

New Creatures

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
