Reigning in the Kingdom

         God prepared us to live and reign in His kingdom and to bring His kingdom of heaven down to earth. This is being Kingdom minded where we see ourselves as ambassadors, representatives sent from the king, and we are here to enforce His laws, His values, His principles and His culture into this foreign land. We are supposed to take everything around us that's out of line with heaven and bring it back into divine alignment. We have been given the authority and kingly anointing to do this because our Father is the King and Lord over all.

I AM Affirmations From The Bible [AUDIO BIBLE SCRIPTURES] Faith Declarat...

THE COMING TEMPLE

Not Today! A Talk about the Coronavirus

"Because thou hast made the Lord...thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling". - Psa;m 91:9-10.

 

    I want to share with you for just a moment about the Coronavirus. This topic has been discussed nonstop for several weeks now. Many people are filled with fear and panic. Fear and panic is certainly not the answer. Reacting in panic is not an effecrive response. For 2 Timothy 1:7 states that "God has not given us the spirit of fear!"

Embrace Faith

    I want to encourage you to rebuke fear and to embrace faith. I would like for you to strongly believe the promises of God. He also promised that "no evil will befall" you and that no plague will come near your dwelling.

    I am amazed how the world system has responded to this virus. People running around stocking up on toilet paper and other things. I want to encourage you to use your head and listen to what health officials have to say, but most of all lean on the Word of God and his promise found in Psalms 91.

Strong Faith

    Peter in the New Testament wrote that Christians are shielded by the faith and power of God (2 Peter 1:3-4). I..., well..., we have divine promises to lean on and to claim. (and I do claim them!) It takes great faith to really believe like Father Abraham did. If he believed in his old age that he would have a heir. You certainly can have faith that this virus will pass you by.

 

                                                                         

    I say...I rejoice in the fact that God's Kingdom is a stable and healthy Kingdom. As sons and daughters of God, we are members of a stable Kingdom. This Kingdom cannot be moved. It is solid and stable through whatever may come. Jesus said, " If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed," you can move mountains. Speak to your mountain. If you have built your life upon "this rock" (God's Word) you will survive any storm, but those who have built their lives on sinking sand will usually suffer in times like these. If you have built your life on the unmovable Word of God, you can be sure of a solid foundation that will hold you up and keep you even in difficult times like these.

Rebuke Fear 

    If you are worried about the economy or catching the virus. This is fear talking. I want you to rebuke fear and embrace the Faith of God. Again, the Bible promises, "No evil will befall you, neither will any plague come near your dwelling." (Psalm 91:10) In the name of Jesus, I urge you to open your mouth and speak to your mountain!

Love Changes Things

    You may not know it, but when you gave your life to Jesus, all the fruit of the Spirit were planted inside you in seed form. Through the Spirit you can experience joy and peace in every circumstance, no matter how difficult or painful.

    You may not be a naturally patient person, but you can call on the Spirit within to produce patience. If you’re battling unhealthy behaviors, like an addiction or some kind of bad habit, the Holy Spirit can give you the ability to resist the devil and make healthy choices.

                                                                  

  

    Apostle Paul said: When we were controlled by our old nature, sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced a harvest of sinful deeds, resulting in spiritual death. But now we have been released from the law, for we died spiritually to it and are no longer captive by its power.

    Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit by Faith. (Romans 7:5-6 NLT)

    On your own, it would be impossible to serve only God. But when you operate in the Spirit, you have a supernatural ability to overcome everything. The more you draw near to Go by praying and reflecting on His Word, the more you will experience the fruit of the Spirit in your life. But where should you start?

Love, Love and More Love

                         “ How do you love your neighbor? First, you must learn to receive God’s love for yourself. Until then, you can’t truly love anyone                                     else. You may do all the right things, but your motivation will be all wrong. ”

    All the fruit of the Spirit are held in place by love. Jesus said that loving God and other people is the most important commandment. You see, “You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.” He added, “A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 22:39).

    How do you love your neighbor? First, you must learn to receive God’s love for yourself. Until then, you can’t truly love anyone else. You may do all the right things, but your motivation will be all wrong. And God isn’t nearly as concerned about what we do as He is about the attitudes of our hearts            (see 1 Thessalonians 2:4). For a long time, my heart was a mess. For many years I had been verbally abused by my family. Then I married a man also abused me verbally and emotionally.  By the time I got out of the marriage, I couldn’t remember a time in my life when I was happy even though I looked happy on the outside.

    My emotional and verbal wounds had made me harsh and short-tempered. I operated purely out of fear. And even though I knew about Christian living, I had not learned how to receive the love of God—the only thing that can heal someone’s sick soul. It wasn’t until I surrendered control and started receiving God’s love that I finally became free. Now I love myself! And I can’t wait to wake up in the morning and be a blessing to someone else. I study love—what it is and how God wants us to express it.

Start Your Journey

    God loves you so much, He wants you to experience that same love in your soul. Pray and ask Him to help you be a person who walks in love. Choose to believe the best about people rather than automatically assuming the worst. Study the passages of Scripture that talk about God’s love for you and really get them into your heart by meditating on them. Then, wake up each morning and ask God, “How can I encourage someone today?” "How can I be a blessing to someone, today?" 

    Don’t wait until you feel like it. Go out and love on purpose. You will be amazed at the joy it releases in your heart and soul! Focus on learning to love as Jesus loved, and I promise you, everything else that's good in your life will follow.

What Are You Expecting?

An excerpt from: Voice of the Covenant 3/2020, by Jesse and Cathy Duplantis

       "Great Expectation Gets Great Results!"    -     As a believer, we know that God has your best interests at heart, and as His Son said, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23). Begging doesn't produce results. Pleading doesn't do it either. Need won't move the hand of God. Belief is the currency of God, and it's what He has chosen to be the vehicle for our results. There is a power in belief - a force we call faith, and it begins with having great expectations.

       So, what are you expecting God to do in your life? Are you aiming your faith in a focused way? Great results will happen if you believe that they will happen - this is what Jesus was saying in Mark 9:23. So, all this year, we are going to continually focus on the power of belief - on choosing to live with great expectation in life. The world may tell us not to "get our hopes up," but Jesus says the opposite. And He takes it one step further when He talks about faith and tells us that ALL things are possible to those who believe. So, what are you believing today? What are you saying on a consistent basis? What is your mindset? What do you think is possible for your life? And where are you limiting yourself by limiting God?

       Don't take Mark 9:23 for granted just because you may have heard it often before - don't complicate it. Just let the simplicity of Jesus' revolutionary statement about the power of belief sink deep into your mind and spirit. Realize that when Jesus shared this truth, He was giving us all a divine secret. And if we take it into our heart and use it, it will help us to live better lives spiritually, physically, financially or in any other area that we decide to apply the truth and believe. There is no area that is impossible for God to make better if we listens to His Word and simply believe. Great expectation gets great results!

WHAT IS POSSIBLE

        So, what is possible for your life? ALL things are possible if you believe they are possible. Can you change even "impossible," negative situations you may be dealing with, too? YES, Jesus says you can, if you believe you can. In fact, nothing is impossible with God because He is not only our Creator, but He is our Provider Healer, Ever-Present-Help, All-Sufficient and All Bountiful Supplier, and He is our Shepherd I this life. He's our Guide. So, if He said it, you should just flat believe it! Can unbelief ever fit into God's promises? NO, it can't - all the promises of God are "yea" and "amen" to only one group... those who believe.

       Believing is power, and we are all growing as believers. Whether you are new to the things of God of have been a believer for many years, if you are still breathing, you can still grow and expect great, new things from your faith. Stretch yourself. Expand your view of what God can do, and what He can do through you.

Meet My Friend - Part 2

     Acts 17:26 (KJV) states that:
        "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;"
     The whole race was in Adam's loins when e sinned. He was the spiritual, moral and physical head of the race. You see, he was our representative. He did not act as a single person but as the whole human race. When he fell he sinned for all of us. When God contracted with him, it was a contract for the whole race. The covenant was blessings if he obeyed God and curses if he sinned. Well, guess what?? He sinned by disobeying God and eating from the "tree".
     Death passed upon all men and women because of Adam's (disobedience) sin. Through Adam's sin, a sentence of death without the promise of resurrection, passed upon all men. But by obedience of Jesus taking man's place; the sentence was completely cancelled and original dominion restored. 
     You are considered a sinner through Adam, but not by his personal sins. However, we are considered righteous through Jesus, but not by His personal acts of righteousness.
     Those who accept Jesus Christ as their savior, receive free pardon of all offenses and grace abounds and reigns in your life. As Jesus died completely, those of us who profess Christianity must be completely separated and saved from sin having no more connection with it.
     No matter how bad you think your life is or was, God Heaven and God isn't slack regarding His promises to and for us.
     He is not willing for any of His creations to perish or go to Hades but he would like all (like yourself) to come to repentance.
     2 Peter 3:9 says:
        "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promises, as some 
        people think of slowness; on the contrary, he is patient 
        with you; for it is hot his purpose that anyone should be                    destroyed, but that everyone should turn form his sins." 
     Romans 5:8 states that
        "God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
     
For those of you who want to study further or want further explanation, please read Romans chapter 6.

God so loved us that He gave His only begotten son, just for you!
Would you give or have your only child killed for your neighbor or the person next to you?? I don't think so...

I have a friend named Jesus. Would you like to meet my friend? He certainly would like to meet you.

If you believe that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that He is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead, then say aloud:
          Father, I come to you today to thank you for all your
          blessings. I (say your name) come to you today with 
          a sincere heart requesting forgiveness for my sins. I 
          accept Jesus as my Lord and savior. I believe in the 
          resurrection of Jesus Christ and I ask that my sins be
          forgiven.      
                             Amen.

Meet My Friend - Part 1

Meet My Friend -  Part 1

     Many of you may consider yourself a good person because you give money to your church or you may go to church on Sundays. You consider yourself a good person, maybe because you have not murdered anyone or maybe because you have not stolen anything from anyone, but these things alone do not make you a "good person". God's commandment says, you must love God and your neighbor. 
     John 13:34 (CJSB) says:
        "I am giving you a new command: that you keep on loving              each other. In the same way that I have loved you, you are 
        also to keep on loving each other." 
     1 John 4:21
        "...this commandment have we from him. Tat he who loveth
        god love his brother also."
     Some of you do not love God and you certainly do not love others and it shows in your actions and words.
     Christ died for you and I. No he just wasn't placed on the tree called "The Cross". He was beatned with a whip that had several strands and each strand had chards of glass, nails, maybe even pieces of bone intwined in the straps. Imagine, being beaten with something like this. You wouldn't have skin left on your body and most people living today would have died during the beating. Nontheless, He went through this for us.
     Romans 5:12-21 (KJV) says:
        "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
        death by sin: and so death passed upon all men, for that all 
        have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but 
        sin is not imputed when there is no law. Neverthless death 
        reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not       
        sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is 
        the figure of Him that was to come. But not as the offense,
        so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one 
        many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift
        by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath 
        abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned,
        so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation,
        but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification. For
        if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more 
        they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
        righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ.)
            Therefore, as by sth offense of one judgment came upon
        all men to condemnation: even so by the righteousness 
        of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification
        of life. For a by one man's disobedience many were made 
        sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
        righteous. Moreover, the law entered, that the offense 
        might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much
        more abound. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even
        so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal 
        life by Jesus Christ our Lord."

     You see, Christ died for us while we were ungodly, sinners and enemies of God. Jesus (Yeshua) saved us by His death. The 
consequences of Jesus' obedience extends as far as Adam's disobedience. Since we are Gentiles and descendants of Adam, we partook of his sin and its consequences, so we also are free to partake of the redemption of Christ. From Adam all men derived their beings.
     Acts 17:26 (CJSB),
        "From one man He made every nation living on the 
        entire surface of the earth, and he fixed the limits
        of their territories and the period when they would
        flourish."
                               
                                                                                  (TO BE CONTINUED)

       
     

 

Are You Righteous?

            "For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham,
                 or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith."

          As a born again believer you are an heir of Abraham and you are his seed.
Romans 4:1-3 says:
               "Then what should we say Abraham, our forefather, obtained by his own efforts?
               For if Abraham came to be considered righteous by God because of legalistic
               observances then he has something to boast about. But this is not how it is before
               God! For what does the scripture say? "Abraham put his trust in God, and was
               credited to his account as righteousness."

          Here, Paul is talking about Abraham the forefather of our faith how he did not obtain or become righteous because he followed legalistic observances, but by trusting in God. Paul also said in Romans 3:21-31,

"But now, quite apart from the Law, God's way of making people righteous in His sight has been made clear - although the law and the Prophets give their witness to it as well - and it is a righteousness that comes from God, through the faithfulness of Jesus, to all who continue trusting. For it makes no difference wherher one is a Jew or a Gentile, since all have sinned and come short of earning God's praise. By God's grace, without earning it, all are granted the status of being considered righteous before Him, through the act of redeeming us from our enslavement to sin that was accomplished by the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). God put Jesus forward as a propitiation for sin  for us through His faithfulness in respect to His bloody sacrificial death. That vindicated God's righteousness; because in his forbearance, he looked over [with neither punishment nor remission] the sins people had committed in the past. It also vindicates His righteousness in the present age by showing that he is righteous himself and is also the one who makes people righteous on the grounds of Jesus' faithfulness. So...what room is left for boasting? None at all! What kind of law excludes it? One that has to do with legalistic observance of rules? No, rather, a law that has to do with trusting. Therefore, we hold the view that a person comes to be considered righteous by God on the ground of trusting [faith], which has nothing to do with legalistic observance of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn't he also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, he is indeed the God of the Gentiles; because as you will admit, God is one. Therefore, he will consider righteous the circumcised on the ground of trusting and the uncircumcised through that same trusting. Does it follow that we abolish the law by this trusting? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, we confirm the law."

          This basically says that both Jews and Gentiles could only be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and it gives examples of how Abraham was justified. Also that righteousness comes from God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. Man was given the gift of righteousness. Whether you're Jewish or Gentile, we all have sinned and came short of earning God's praise. So by the Grace of God (that is, without earning it) we are forgiven (if we ask to be forgiven), so it's a choice. Through Jesus we are granted the status of being considered rigtheous before God.

          This was given to us (if you choose) through the act of redemption. We were redeemed by the actions of Jesus. Jesus went to the Cross, died and was resurrected for you and me. Jesus was a propitiation for sin through his faithfulness to God. Paul goes on and says, therefore, a person is considered righteous by God on the grounds of trust. He explains that there's a God and He is the God of everyone, Jews as well as Gentiles. For the sake of those who are not familiar with the terms let's define Gentile. According to the World Book Dictionary, it's a person that is not Jewish, a heathen. So, through trusting and faith in what Jesus did at the Cross, we are made righteous.
          Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation was a heathen or an uncircumcised Gentile before God pardoned him by grace through faith. Abraham could not have been justified by obedience to the law, which was not until 430 years later. In Galatians 3:17, Paul says, Here is what I am saying, the legal part of the law, which came into being 430 years later does not nullify an oath sworn by God, so as to abolish the promise.
      You see Abraham had the blessing many years before he was circumcised. Therefore the blessing did not  come through circumcision. Galatians 3:18 says, "For if the inheritance comes from the legal part of the Law, it no longer comes from a promise. But God gave it to Abraham through a promise. Abraham was justified by faith in Christ 24 years before circumcision. Justified means freeing or freed from the guilt or penalty of sin through faith in Jesus Christ.
          Roman 3:21-24 goes on to speak about God's way of making people righteous in His sightand it is clear...all have sinned and come short of earning God's praise. By God's grace, without earning it, all are granted the status of being considered righteous before him, through the act redeeming us from our enslavement to sin that was accomplished through one Jesus Christ.
          Therefore, if you believe you are redeemed then you are righteous through faith in Jesus Christ. Through our spiritual union with Him, we are One with Him. He is in us and we are in Him. We are partakers of His "devine nature". We have the ability to live our lives as He lived His life in complete victory over sin. Put on the "new man" and be followers of God. Imitate Him as little children.
          For God is going to have a people. God purposed before the foundation of the earth to have a people who would be holy and blameless above reproach in His eyes. Jesus the Lord of our righteousness, came to earth, destroyed the works of the devil, freed man from sin and has given us the ability to be righteous as He is righteous. It is not automatic. We must appropriate His righteousness by continually drawing upon His strength to crucify the evil desires of the flesh.

You are the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

 Gal 3:7, says, "Therefore...know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham."

Gal. 3:29 says, "And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the
promise."
