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

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.

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

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

House built by God

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

Spiritual Warfare

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

There is much more to this world than meets the eye, there is a spiritual world full of good and evil which drives everything. Once you understand this, you understand how powerless and vulnerable we are on our own.

But if you walk with God he will protect you and give you wisdom to avoid the traps of Satan. Think about the problems or obstacles in your life, what is the driving force behind them? The answer is Satan, we are under attack.

(1 John 5:19) “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.”

The world is under Satans control, if you don’t believe me take a look around. Nation against nation, babies being legally murdered, homosexuals being legally married. This is not the Kingdom of God, this is people following Satan.

So what do we do? Return to God and put on the “Armour of God’ and stand against evil. Stop following the ways of Satan and follow Jesus.

(Ephesians 6:13) “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

The Word of God has power and can stand against anything, like a sword it cuts thru deceit of the enemy. The Wisdom you obtain will help you avoid the pitfalls of Satans traps.

Take a stand against Evil, take a stand with God. This is about life and death, this isn’t a fairy tale this is reality, you are in Spiritual Warfare whether you believe it or not.

(Romans 8:6) “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

Carnally means worldly or fleshly lusts. When will live for the world and not God it leads to your death. You can’t follow Satan and God at the same time. You need to draw the line and take a side. Live for today or live for eternity.

But you will be under attack, there is Spiritual war going on. Stand with God and you can stand against anything. Put on your Armour of God and take a stand in Jesus name Amen

Press On to the Prize

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14

 

The journey of faith can be
long and tiring, but we continue to press on because we know the prize is great. Jesus warned us it wasn’t going to be easy as a Christian, persecution and discrimination are common. But your reward will be great in Heaven, blessed are those who don’t see but still believe.

Your mission from God is a higher calling. Everything you do will greatly impact the eternal future. not only your  but everyone who you touch. Your secular job on Earth is only temporary, but your calling from God is eternal and the results will impact eternity

(Matthew 10:14) “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.”

 

Jesus warned us you might receive opposition to spreading the Gospel, as he said “Shake the dust of your feet” and press on. There will be some who will receive Christ and some who deny him, don’t let the haters ruin your destiny.

Don’t let your past ruin your future. You are renewed thru the blood of Jesus Christ, keep pressing toward your prize in heaven.

(1 Corinthians 9:24) “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.”

 

What a strong statement, not only should we press toward our prize but let’s strive to master our craft. Some Christians just do enough to fulfill there requirements, but why not strive to be great? Why not be like David and face a giant with just a sling and stone?

But remember the race is long, brace and prepare yourself for the long haul. There will be trails and tests along the way, keep your peace and remember when to just shake the dust off your feet.

(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.”

 

God loves you and knows the trails you will endure, he will be with you. Just know that all you do will work for the will of God. Remember your reward is not here on Earth but in Heaven, don’t be discouraged by the events you may see.

You have a high calling from God, to serve our Lord Jesus and spread his gospel. No matter what happens, keep pressing on and you’ll receive your prize one day in Heaven in Jesus Name Amen

Gods Plan for You

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Somedays you wonder, what is my purpose, what is my destiny? But God has a plan for you. He has not forgotten or ignored you. Timing is everything, we need to learn to follow Gods timeline and not our own.

When we make our own plans for our life, we don’t fulfill our destiny. What we might think is our best, might only be a fraction of what God has in store for you.

(Isaiah 55:8) “”For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.”

Many times we believe what God is thinking or we know what’s best for us. But we can’t imagine or comprehend what God’s plans are for us.

Take Moses for example, spent the past 40 years in the wilderness now God called him to go back to Egypt and lead the Israelites. Do you think Moses ever thought he would go back to Egypt? Or become a great prophet for a nation he used to enslave?

(Proverbs 3:5) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”

Our biggest problem is we try to use our own logic and not trust God. Man can’t comprehend how God created the Heavens and The Earth so man created up the Big Bang Theory. Man can’t comprehend that God is the creator of life so they created Evolution. Why do we do this?

Because it make us feel like we’re still in control when we make up our own logic. The reality is were not in control, God is in complete control, lean not on your own understanding.

(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.”

Key words here at “According to his Purpose” Sometimes we believe were doing Gods will, but were only pleasing ourselves. How can we know what his will is then? God will open the doors to where you’re supposed to go. If you have to break down a door to reach your destiny, it probably wasn’t meant to be.

God never said it was going to be an easy path either, you must remember you will be tested, you will be tempted to quit, but remember “all things work together for good” just follow God and his plans for you. In Jesus name Amen

Love Like Jesus

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25

Love your wife as Jesus loved us, how many marriages would have been saved following this principle? How many broken families could have been restored? To love like Jesus, what does it really mean?

Although it would be impossible to love as much as Jesus , we should strive to follow him and love the way Jesus showed us

(John 15:13) “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Jesus laid down his life for us all, payed the ultimate sacrifice. He even did it knowing that many people would reject and mock him. Is there any greater love than what was demonstrated on the cross?

Can’t you atleast love your spouse and family like this? Are you to full of hatred and pride that you can’t give everything you got to ones that love you the most? If you can’t love the partner God has created for you, can you truly expect to love others?

(John 13:34) “”A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

Love one another as Jesus loved us, we are commanded to love. Should it be this hard? Do we really have to force ourselves to love each other? If it’s that difficult for you, then you have a troubled soul.

Love should come easy for us, your soul should be filled with love and slow to anger. Remember Love is Patient, Love is Kind, Love does not envy or boastful. These are not just words, this is a lifestyle. This is the life of a true Christian.  If your heart is constantly in conflict, then you need to ask Jesus to heal you.

(Proverbs 10:12) “Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.”

Hate is the root for all conflict, when you have hate in your heart it’s just a time bomb waiting to go off. Hatred is always looking for its next victim or problem.  You need to cleanse your heart of hate. The only way to do this is thru Jesus Christ. He gives us the inner peace and strength that Satan couldn’t defeat.

Let’s strive to love each other, especially our spouses and children, just as Jesus loved us. Sometimes your going to get hurt, but love always conquers evil in Jesus name Amen
