Like Children when growing up can see their favorite parent or role model has doing no wrong in their eyes, likewise in order to believe in the gospel of Christ, we must believe that Jesus Christ is sinless and
perfect in our own eyes. For it is written: Matthew 6:22-24 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Offenses in our lives blinds us to the truth and causes us to see Jesus Christ in a false way that damages his image and reputation as Savior in our lives. This is a fundamental requirement for believing in the Gospel in order to receive salvation. We must see Christ as the sinless lamb without spot or blemish, powerful and mighty as a lion for our protection and defense, and pure as a white dove, and there we have the perfect combination of God's nature and character. The Holy Spirit of God had revealed this truth to me to share with those who have ears to hear. We must not defile our perception of how we see Christ because it is through his power , mercy and grace that we has believers can do all things. This is why forgiveness is key to lighten up the heart, and love is key to balancing and understanding the truth, kindness towards our enemies to sow the seeds of mercy in our own lives for in the day of judgment. These things my brethren is the fulfillment of the law. The righteousness of Christ is no respector of any persons, while the righteousness of men is partiality with men.
Amen
A man will only be willing to endure suffering and affliction for the people or things that they truly care about. For instance, a woman or man in a abusive relationship will only endure with the abuse of another in hopes of that man or woman eventually changing their ways and keep their promise of being a better person for their own sakes. They will overlook the abuse and the red flags of narcissistic behavior and patterns to gain favor with that individual. The said individual uses the naive nature of the victim to their own advantage, and given a false hope through broken promises that are never truly obtained. If people have endurance and faith for false exceptions, how much more greater would be the reward for those who endure for the promises of God, which is rooted in truth and reality. If we apply the same concept of relationship of people to God, who is much more loving than a abusive partner who only out for their own needs, then we will truly understand the walk of faith , the endurance of suffering with Christ in order to reign with him. If many people are willing to suffer with a abusive partner for many years, continuing in dysfunction with the reward being that of death and loss of self. How much greater is the reward of those who suffer for His name sake, endure persecution from the world, affliction from others for a crown eternal? Our faith is rooted in suffering with and for Christ in order to obtain everlasting life and rewards incorruptible. Every act of obedience towards the LORD, one must count the cost of loss to one's own name, fame or reputation. We must fully embrace death on all levels of self in order to become the new creation in Christ Jesus, for to die for Christ is gain and to die without Christ is loss.
Amen
Jesus is a necessity in man's life and salvation, because the law cannot help man be holy , nor can it bring a man closer to God, but like a mirror that reflects, can only be a reflection of man's true nature. Jesus Christ is that bridge to the Father, without him we couldn't cross over to the kingdom of God. The Heavenly Father like Isaac in his old age due to blindness ,cannot recognize us in our sinful state and transgressions, therefore we are an enemy to him by our own sin nature. We must be like Jacob who puts on the skins of his brother Easu and stand infront of his father Issac in order to receive the blessings and inheritance. When we put on the righteousness of Christ is equivalent to Jacob putting on the skins of his brother Easu in order to receive the gift of eternal life and rulership in God's kingdom alongside with Christ. The Heavenly Father only recognize the Son, so the more we begin to look like Jesus in our spirit, soul and body, the more we can glorify the Father in the Son who lives in us.
Amen
A wedding ring in a marriage is a symbol of fidelity and commitment, but what is the purpose of it, if the persons within the covenant are unfaithful to each other? For many people of this generation lust after and wear one, to show thier commitment to the world towards their spouse, but in secret practice adultery. They wear the ring out in public as a public reminder that they have a covenant with such person, but remove it in secret to play the harlot with the world, saying , "hey I am single, my life is my own, I have no owner of this body , therefore I do as I please. This is the ways of the pagans, therefore a ring is also a symbol of the pagans to remind themselves of their oaths, instead of relying upon the LORD who is creator of oaths. But the true covenant and marriage of God is rings made without hands, the married couples wear spiritual rings on the inward man that can't be seen with the naked eye, but in their fruits of their fidelity, they are one flesh, one mind, one body, and one spirit with their spouse and with the LORD. They trust in the LORD to remain faithful unto death , and not in their own flesh to be faithful, like the pagans do, and are deceived by their own hearts and folly. No man is above temptation, and every temptation, a man is enticed and is drawn away with his or her lust. They become forgetful of the one who they are in fellowship with, their desire becomes their idol and their idol becomes their god. The man who abides in the LORD, the Spirit of God gives him strength to remain faithful to his spouse. For it is written:Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. So what is the true marriage then? A marriage that consists of two believers in Christ, coming together as one flesh, under one Spirit, the Holy Spirit and remaining in him , and relying upon him to remain faithful and true to one another without any outside influences to be a constant reminder or guide.
Amen
How can one receive salvation if one rejects their own humanity? To reject one's own limitations is to reject one's own humanity. To reject one's own humanity is to reject God's image of what he has created you to be, for it is written: Genesis 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. In order to receive salvation, one must recognize their human limitations and need of a Savior, this truth comes through the revelation of the Word, which is Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh. We must surrender and yield to the power of Gopsel in order to be born again of the Spirit. The Apostle Paul reveals this mystery to us: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. How can one trust another if they only rely on themselves? So how can Christ deliver us if we are seeking our own way out? We must recognize that we are blind and naked , and in need of sight and covering.
Amen
A man in the spirit of offense will reject his own blessings, for he is too blind to see, too deaf to hear. His heart speaks of wrath and bitterness. He is unable to receive the healing of the truth, which comes under the wings of the LORD. Offenses stir up wrath inside of man in order to cause him to stumble in his walk with Christ. Tribulations w created to either cause offense or strength in a believer. If faith is a narrow road in which one must continue in, then the man who is rooted in offense will depart from the path. As it is written: Matthew 13:20-21 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. The stony places is the hardened heart of man who is unable to forgive others due to offenses. The word of God is healing to those who receive it with joy and gladness; but a man must continue therein daliy with patience with honest and good heart in order to see the fruits of the Spirit in his or her life. Tribulation and persecution brings growth to those who identity is fully rooted in Christ Jesus and not in their own delusions and false expectations. These things bring forth the fruits of bitterness, when offenses arises in thy heart. Therefore brethren be watchful and vigilant of the enemy who walks around like prowling lion at the entrance of thine heart .
Amen
Salvation is a gift that many are unable to receive due to a hardened heart, and being wise in their own eyes. Many times our salvation comes in the form of things or people that men despise or often overlook because it or they do not fit our expectations or preferences. For it is written: Isaiah 53:2-5 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But 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. 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: the ways of the LORD comes with suffering first and then the blessing will follow. The ways of the enemy are receive the blessing first , and through deception the suffering comes after. Those who have ears to hear , let them hear. Many people walk away from Christ due to persecution and rejection received from the world, because their minds haven't truly been renewed from the worldly ways of thinking , nor is the word fully rooted in their hearts. If a man has truly given his life to Christ Jesus, it's also means that he has counted the cost of following him and being a disciple, and is willing to sacrifice it all for the Kingdom of God.
Amen
A man that is sick, must take medication in order to get well and restore his health; but after he is restored, if he continues in the things that caused him to get sick in the first place, his condition may be worse than the first. Likewise if a man gives his life to Christ gets deliverance from his sins, and not continue in his faith, but continues in his sinful lifestyle, if he gets repossessed once more, his state of mind will be worse than the first. Therefore brethren, do not be deceived by false doctrines of men. We must continue to abide in Christ, and to keep his commandments is to maintain the lifestyle of holiness in our temples and in our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit which is given unto you who are saved and born again of the water and of the Spirit. As seed must grow in order to become a tree of some sort, likewise the word of God which is the seed of your faith and salvation must grow in the soil of your mind and heart to become a tree of life , following after the first fruits of the resurrection. The flesh must die in order to become nourishment for the new creation , which you are in Christ Jesus. If we are saved by our faith and belief in Jesus Christ, then we must continue to belief and have faith in Jesus Christ in all things, and not in our own understanding. Good health is the fruit of healthy living and eating; likewise the fruit of the Spirit is byproduct of our faith in Jesus Christ and the continual abiding in the word (our daliy bread) and renewal of the mind (lifestyle of holiness and repentance). The Holy Spirit will complete that good work in us in which he started.
Amen
Behind every great man or woman of God, their backstory is always one of tragedy or of shame. Many great men of God came from barren women who were shamed for their barreness, while others were conceived by means of incest or other inappropriate means. This would cause great rejection in those who are chosen to often be overlooked in early childhood by family and peers. For it is written: 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: these divine patterns have played out in many of our prophets and men of God who played a prominent role in scriptures. Being chosen by God doesn't always equate to a perfect life down here on Earth. Many chosen live the life of persecution, rejection, suffering in order to achieve the will of the Heavenly Father on Earth. Maybe the signs of our own suffering reveals unto us the qualifications of being chosen by the LORD for a specific assignment or calling. The ways of the world conflict with our ability to discern this divine truth , for many seek a way out of suffering, instead of endurance. No man in his carnal mind seeks to endure suffering or to seek out persecution, but prosperity and abundance in all things with the praises of men. This is the ways of the world and not of the LORD. We learn to identify the children of God by their afflictions and sorrows instead of their blessings and favor , for the favor and blessings of God comes with suffering and persecution. Many are told to look for the riches and the appearance of wealthy living , but from the biblical perspective of blessings and being favored by God , it's the furthest things from the truth. Remember the story of Job , Job wasn't blessed because of his wealth but because of his faith and faithfulness to the LORD in mists of trial and testing, losing everything , but remaining true to God. These are the signs and fruits of a true man or woman of God.
Amen
Demons are assigned to the children of Adam from their birth, their assignment is to kill ,steal and destroy the destiny of the individual that they are assigned to. Demons are no greater than the one who have given the assignment, therefore no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, if the one who assigned the demon against you is for you. Those who have ears to hear , let them receive this revelation. Let's go the book of Job to get an example of who is the one on the assignment, and the one who assigns the assignment: Job 2:1-7 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
The one who assigned the assignment is the LORD God, the one who is on the assignment is Satan , Satan in Hebrew means : adversary, opposer, one to accuse or question. When the LORD God presents a case or when he reveals his plans to his Heavenly Host , Satan or satans is also there as well to oppose the judgment of God. The one being tormented or pursued is Job ( all of those who are believers in Christ, are Job in this case). God brags about his servant Job , and Satan's job is to oppose or question God's judgment about Job. Since God is not man that he should lie, Satan's assignment is prove God's judgment or perception wrong , to attack God's character and his Word (image). God will not allow that , as it is written: Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. God will protect his name and integrity at all cost , therefore this why Satan attacks the believers relentlessly with distractions, doubt, snares and fear to cause believers to doubt in the power of Christ, and trust in their own strength. Many Christians have been ignorant of this truth in the Church, and through fear of evil give their worship and power to devils, instead of the LORD. Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. The one who assigns is the one we should fear, we should not fear the enemy nor the weapon of the enemy that is formed against us, because it was God who sent the adversary to form the weapon against you in the first place, to test you, but more importantly to glory his name through you who already have the victory in Jesus Christ, who has overcome death at the cross and have the keys of life and death to set you free. God sends the tempter, but the tempter is no greater than his LORD. Many deliverance ministries fail to comprehend this truth and revelation. They believe that they can cancel the assignment of the enemy in their own power. If the enemy's assignment came from above, and the LORD God is above us all, then how can mere mortal cancel that which is greater than he. The only way that the assignment of devil will never work against you, is because like with Job , God bragged about his servant Job , and knew of him and decree him righteous before the Adversary. Since God's word cannot return back to him void, the enemy's agenda was already canceled before it even started, his weapon formed against you to suffer you, became null and void the minute the adversary went against the Word of God which cannot be broken. Those who have ears to hear, receive this truth with joy and gladness of heart , and keep it in the day of adversity.
Amen
The nature of sin in the flesh worketh death by the law, while the nature of the Spirit in the inward man worketh life into the believer by the law of grace. Dead works are fruit produced by the flesh, while the fruit of the Spirit is produced by having the Spirit of God. If the will of God produces life in the believer, then the will of the flesh, produces sin and death in the believer. Sin will always have the believer to trust in their own ability to keep God's laws, only to constantly fall short of the mark each time. The Spirit of God through our weaknesses is glorified. Man fails to acknowledge his weaknesses and only his strengths. This builds pride in the believer and not true humility. Our shame and reproaches helps us to remain humble and to constantly have the power of Christ rest upon us; for then man will have nothing to glory about himself, but in the saving power of Christ. Keeping the laws of God doesn't make us good people, in fact it points out that we are flawed and in need of a Savior. If a man were to keep God's laws , he must first have his Spirit, and the Spirit must then write his laws in his heart and mind, in order to obey his commandments. A man will receive this as a personal conviction on the inside of his heart and mind, and will act upon the desires of the Spirit as convicted. The action will in turn activate the power of faith in the believer, and the fruit of the Spirit will be end result of that work. For it is written: Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. If we put our faith in our own works, then our faith is dead works, but if we put our trust and faith in Christ Jesus and his ability to make things come to pass, then our faith is then made alive and we are eternally secure.
Amen
Through the confession on the mouth , life enter in the heart and give light to man. The Spirit abides with us and dwells in us as the witness of our confession. A heart that is shut is a hardened heart, and it's opening is the confession of the mouth. For it is written: Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. By our confession are we healed and saved, or we are condemned and destroyed. If words are life and death , then I pray that the Word of God give us life more abundantly, may our speech be sound and full of truth and wisdom, for those who thirst after living waters. John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. When we confess unto the salvation of Jesus Christ and his identity of being the Son of God made flesh, we speak truth and life into our dead bones that they may live. Ezekiel 37:8-10 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
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. We are those dry bones in the valley, the valley of death is the world, the Spirit of God is the wind from the four corners of the Earth that breathes upon us as we confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God manifest. We then prophesied to our dry bones to live again. For sin is darkness, and the wages of it is death.
