Refusing God brings consequences

Proverbs 1:24-31} Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded. Because you disdained all my counsel, and would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, when your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call on me but I will not answer. they will seek me diligently but they will not find me.… Continue

Are We Truly Accountable To God & Others?

Accountable: subject to giving a statement of one's conduct. Being able to answer for one's conduct. To be accountable means to be ready to answer for something we were supposed to do and sometimes things we didn't follow through on. It's an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility.

The Greek word for accountable is: Hupodikos which means under judgment, debtor to one, owing satisfaction to, of liable to punishment from God. To be responsible means to be ready… Continue

Being His Little Children

Matthew 18:1-4} At that time the disciples came up and asked Jesus, Who then is really the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And He called a little child to Himself and put him in the midst of them, And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children (trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving), you can never center the kingdom of heaven ( at all).

How often have we real today's Scripture and really meditated on it? How many of… Continue

Habitually Pursuing The Holy Spirit

Galatians 5:16} But I say, walk and live (habitually) in the Holy Spirit (responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit); then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God).

Most of us know that when we receive Jesus as Lord and Savior and are filled with the power of the Holy Spirit in us that there will be a price to pay. Walking in the Spirit will overcome the flesh and bring great victories in our lives.… Continue

Are You An Effective Or Ineffective Christian?

Isaiah 55: 11-12} So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void (without producing any effect, useless), but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. For you shall go out (from the spiritual exile caused by sin and evil into the homeland) with joy and be led forth (by your Leader, the Lord Himself, and His Word) with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before… Continue

What Is Your House Built On?

Matthew 7:24-27 "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that… Continue

Are You In Step With The Army Of The Lord?

Joel 2: 7-8)They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war. They march each one (straight ahead) on his ways, and they do not break their ranks. Neither does one thrust upon another; they walk every one in his path. And they burst through and upon the weapons, yet they are not wounded and do not change their course.

God is calling each one of us to be mighty men of war. He is calling us to be warriors who keep in step and do not break our ranks nor allow… Continue

Let Your Yes Be Yes & Your No Be No

Matthew 5:37} Let your Yes be simply Yes, and your No be simply No; anything more than that comes from the evil one.

James 1:22) But be doers of the Word (obey the Message), and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves (into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth).

When we became born again believers we were saying Yes to the Lord and Yes to His Word. Yet many of God's own people today are actually saying no to Him. So… Continue

Are You Part Of The Great Falling Away?

2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12} Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and… Continue

Doing Things God's Way

Isaiah 55: 8-9} For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Too often in our humanism we get into God's way of what He desires to do through His Spirit. We get our thoughts and our way of doing things in His way. We don't recognize that we are still hanging on to control in the fact that we want and expect things… Continue

Proverbs 15:10} It's a school of hard knocks for those who leave God's path, a dead end street for those who hate God's rules. (The Message Version).

Walking In The Footsteps Of Jesus

Philippians 2:3-5) "Don't act out of selfish ambition or be conceited. Instead, humbly think of others as being better than yourselves. Don't be concerned only about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others. Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had."

1 John 3:17-18} But if anyone has this world's goods and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and… Continue

Are You Ready?

I wanted to wish all of you a very blessed Memorial Day. Remember those who have fought for us and remember those who are still fighting for our freedom. Pray for them and give them great respect.

The Lord gave me a very different sharing today. Revival has been breaking out in our church. We were in awe of how the Holy Spirit moved in our church Sunday! There were so many deliverances and so many got blessed. God desires that for each one of us. So He wanted me to… Continue

And The Spirit Says "COME!"

Jeremiah 17: 21-24a & 27} This is God's message: Be careful, if you care about your lives, not to desecrate the Sabbath by turning it into just another workday, lugging stuff here and there. Don't use the Sabbath to do business as usual. Keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your ancestors. They never did it, as you know. The paid no attention to what I said and went about their own business, refusing to be guided or instructed by me. But now, take seriously what I tell… Continue

The Great Falling Away

1 Timothy 4:1} But the Holy Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to the deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach.

Problem People In The Body Of Christ

Galatians 6:1} Brethren, If any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual (who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit) should set him right and restore and reinstate him without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also.

How Great An Anointing Do You Desire?

Matthew 6:6} But when you pray, go into your most private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret, and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.

More and more these days God is calling us to draw near to Him, to spend quality time with Him. When we pray He doesn't want theatrical productions from us. Nor does He want us to be led by doctrines, religions and mens ways teaching us that we can pray only a certain way, a… Continue

Disconnection Is Death

Ephesians 4: 12-13} His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), (that they should do) the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church). (That it might develop) until we all actually attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the (full and accurate) knowledge of the Son of God, that we might arrive at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard… Continue
