WELCOME TO THE CORRIDORS OF THE SHEPHERDS LIGHTHOUSE BUGLE MAGAZINE JUNE EDITION

2011: STEP IN AND YOU WILL GO OUT WITH A DIFFERENT VIEW OF LIFE ON EARTH & BEYOND!!!!!!!

The Shepherds Bugle is the voice of Shepherds Without

Borders Lighthouse Ministries; which comes out once

monthly to highlight messages, news, visions, projects,

strength & weakness of the United Body of the Kingdom of

God. Inspired Shepherds come together monthly to write

message etc for the community of God chosen.

Every shepherd chosen, charged, and called by God

(YHWH) to care for His flocks is officially a member.

Shepherds serve as an ambassadors of the Kingdom of

God , advocates for petitioning God for mankind,

administrators for the handling and distributing the truth

of God's Word and they need a watch tower on the hilltop

to help them not to crash against the stones of

temptations placed in their path by the Devil.

This magazine is the shepherds’ consultant for wisdom

and direction when it comes to how the work of the

Kingdom of God is being carried out in different places

around the world. It is also a confronter of the evil

practices that are carried out in the name of the kingdom

of God. It is no respecter of any particular doctrine,

tradition, color, language, social status, or geographical

locations. It is the voice for the united kingdom of God's

body of workers in the vineyard here on earth.

This magazine is the discussion leader of any topic

concerning the kingdom of God and the warfare of God's

people. Here you will see and post the work you do for the

kingdom; however it should be clear that every work

yousee here is the responsibility/views of the writer who

placed it there and not always necessarily the views of

everyone. It is a medium to serve as an encourager for the

shepherds around the world who are striving to get the

truth of God's Word out even at a risk to their own families

and lives. As a spotlight, we intend to also serve as a

ground inspector of the work of every ministry we can and

highlight their strengths and weaknesses.

Shepherds, we say a big welcome to you and your flocks.

Let this place be a companion and knowledge dispenser, a

place where you can rest and discover your God given

talents, your historian where you can view the past and

log the present, the nurturer of your visions, your

opportunities spotter, and critic.

I know many times when you are in the wrong and we

speak about it, you might be hurt, go home and pray about

it, and please come for a second look. Partake and make

this place a home away from home. Make this place a

secret corner for airing your views and questions that

have been bothering you for a long time. Please allow

Shepherds Bugle to help you develop your ministries and

broken lives.

“FATHER OF THE UNCOMPROMISING TRUTH OF GOD WORD 2011”

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN: BY

KENNETH WHITE

n John ch 3, Nicodemus comes to talk to Jesus. Jesus made probably the most

remarkable statement in the history of man when Jesus told Nicodemus "you

must be born again in order to see the Kingdom of God".

Nicodemus was a religious man, esteemed by his peers and those in

Jerusalem who saw him in the Temple. why did Jesus make such a statement

to a religious man? Surely Nicodemus , being a religious man could play a

part in God`s Kingdom just by being one of the religious lot in Jerusalem.

However, this is not the case with Nicodemus. He did not understand the

statement Jesus made because he did not have spiritual eyes and ears to

understand this statement. Is there something outward he could do to enter the

Kingdom? No, of course not. The Kingdom is to be understood only by those

who are `born again`.

I want to tell you a parable. Laying in the shade outside my home is an aging

black retriever named Chief. One day I told Chief to hop up in my Chevy PU

and I would teach him to drive. All he did was look at me funny and kept

laying in the shade. Well, I grabbed Chief and helped him into my truck and

fastened him in the drivers seat. I sat next to him and told him to start the

engine so we could take a little ride. He just sat there, looking puzzled

probably at my strange beharior, and he did nothing.

After a short time, it dawned on me that Chief`s paws weren`t capable of

holding the steering wheel, neither were his legs capable to work the gas and

brake pedals. Chief needed a human body, with a human mind to understand

what I was trying to get him to do.

He needed to be born again with a human body and intellect to comprehend

anything I was saying. He could see me, he could smell. hear, touch, and taste

like I could but he could not survive in a human world with a dog`s body and

instincts. So he is born again, and now has a human body. However, he is

born an infant and is incapable of doing anything except sucking a bottle and

crying when he needs changing.

He has to grow many years before he is of age and competant to drive a car.

He has to learn all there is about driving a car before I will give him the keys

and tell him to start the engine. I have to wait with him as he grows until that

day when he is mature enough, we will take our ride with him driving.

In a sense, this is what Jesus was telling Nicodemus about seeing and entering

the Kingdom. as Chief could not understand me, neither could Nicodemus

understand the words of Jesus.

"You must be born again" we`ve been told all our lives, but many of us

thought if we answered the invitation, went to the alter, confessed our sins to

the preacher, and then was baptized into that church, then we were told we

were born again. The problem is, we mentally ascented to the will of the

preacher and our own consious so we would be sure to make it to heaven. This

is not the new birth.

"You must be born or the water and the Spirit" Jesus often said in his

dealings with people. Some say being born of the water is water baptism, and

that may be true to some, but I feel it has to do with the being cleansed by the

Word of God from all of our former thoughts and teachings about Jesus and

knowing Jesus by the Spirit. Being born of the Spirit simply put is as recorded

in the Book of Acts numerous times. And you can`t choose the time for your

new birth. You must be drawn by the Spirit, or it won`t work. "No man can

come to me except the Spirit draw him" said Jesus. So you see, this takes it out

of your hands and all into the hands of Jesus Christ who is the Holy Spirit as

well. This is his Kingdom, and right now in this age of what some have called

the church, and the age of grace, Jesus has been gathering the `firstfruits of a

great harvest` by drawing you by his Spirit and working in you to bring you to

this day where you will be the "firstfruits" in His Kingdom, and lead a great

harvest with your newfound maturity in Christ...

The Ultimate Cost of the Making of an

Apostle BY DR. LEONARD ROBINSON

The cost of apostleship is not mere Bible knowledge alone. Knowledge puffs

up. Nor is the cost of apostleship your history in the faith and church work or

personal sacrifice. The true cost of apostleship is death to your own will, your

own desires, and a discovery of the central message of Jesus. For those who

would be genuine apostles, Jesus trained them as disciples, to learn from Him

the Kingdom of God and of heaven, and to discover their own kingdom

citizenship and authority with power as the sons of God. What do you really

know about the Kingdom of God? Until you embrace and understand the

central message of Jesus, the revelation of the Kingdom of God, you cannot

walk in the full representation of your apostleship. This is the hour that the

Father is exposing those who say they are apostles when in actuality they are

not. He is bringing to light those who have engaged in self-deception seeking

status, desiring to have the preeminence. The Father is exposing those who

have gotten caught up in the under current of religion and have been seduced

and swept away by a heretical religious system. Take heart, God still gives

more grace to the humble. If the call of apostleship is genuinely on your life

know then that in all that you've come to know in religion, tradition and

deception you are to count as dung for the cause of Christ. Know that it is the

Father's desire that you would rediscover the Kingdom through His Son

Jesus.

The Father takes the greatest message in the world, the Kingdom of God, and

makes it that you have to learn it from the greatest teacher in the world,

Jesus. Receive the instruction of the Master. Become as a child again, that

the Kingdom of God, what it is here and now, and that which you will reign

from again in the end, will become your number one priority. The

commandment Jesus gave the disciples who one day would be called apostles

is this: Matthew 6:33, Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His

righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Are you an apostle?

The instruction Jesus gave to them then is the same instruction He gives to

you now. Seek the Kingdom of God by studying the Kingdom. Reacquaint

yourself with Jesus and His message of the Kingdom. Go back and capture

that which had been missing. Experience the life transforming power of the

Kingdom of God as you make the shift. Watch the Father transition you out

of religion, tradition and deception, and reposition you in an understanding of

the right now revelation of the Kingdom and your own Kingdom citizenship

and authority with power. Pay the ultimate price for apostleship. Be willing to

die to your own self-interest and rediscover the Kingdom.

A CLOSER WALK WITH JESUS! BY

PASTOR EMMANUEL BABA ISIAKA

JESUS IS MORE THAN A COURSE!

THE GREATEST THING IN ALL MY LIFE IS KNOWING HIM: I WANT

TO KNOW HIM MORE: KNOWING HIM IS LIFE ETERNAL!

MEMORY VERSE: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek

and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." (Matt 11:29).

BIBLE READING: Philippians 3:7-11

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the

knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all

things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

9 ¶ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the

law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is

of God by faith:

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the

fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

If you are a friend of the Bridegroom, you will hear His voice. There is hardly a time you stay close to somebody without engaging in some discussion. And if you stay longer with the fellow, you will likely get to know one or two of his or her secrets, either through jokes or straight talks.

There is no way you will stay close to Jesus without learning something most useful about Him. In Matthew 11:29, Jesus asks us to learn of Him.

His personality, life and times are more than a subject or course of study like Christology. If you can keep His company, you will surely learn from Him. There are several things you can learn from Him.

You can adopt His habits in exchange for your bad habits. You can learn from His wisdom in tackling sensitive issues that were

brought to Him. You can learn from His total submission to His Father's will. You can learn from His complete dependence on the Holy Spirit in order

to succeed in life and ministry. You can learn what gave Him joy, and what caused Him sorrow.

You can learn from His attitude to the government and civic responsibilities.

What of His relations with His enemies? That is another area to learn from.

You can learn from His attitude towards ministry. How did He select His 12 disciples whom He later named apostles?

You can learn from His tears. You can learn from His industry. You can learn from His eating pattern and habits. You can learn from His attitude to rest. What of His divinity?

That is another great course on its own! Your ability to succeed in life and ministry depends on the closeness you share with Jesus Christ and how much you are able to learn from Him. Paul's goal in life was to study Jesus and learn from Him as much as possible. No wonder the miraculous became common place in his life and ministry! How close are you to the Lord? Or are you still keeping your distance from Him? If you keep a distance from the Bible, church gatherings and personal fellowship with Him, you may never be relevant in God's end-time plan. What have you learnt so far?

THE FATHER‟S BLESSING: I pray for you today that you will have a closer

walk with Jesus. You will love what He loves and hates what He hates. Before

you take a decision or make a choice, you will ask yourself what would Jesus

do in such occasion in the mighty name of Jesus .(Amen).

PRAYER ACTION FOR TODAY: Father teach me life lessons and help me to

adopt what I am taught and the wisdom to apply what

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT SEASON YOU

ARE IN?" BY MARY BOLDEN

THE WORD OF GOD SAYS IN ECCLESIASTES...... "THERE IS A SEASON FOR

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON EARTH. AND THE OMNISCIENT ONE HAS A

REASON FOR ALL THINGS THAT OCCUR, ALSO. HE MAKES NO MISTAKES. HE

KNOWS ALL THINGS AND WHEN IT SHALL HAPPEN , FOR HE IS THE ONE WHO

OWNS AND ORCHESTRATES TIME. HE IS ETERNITY! HE SITS HIGH AND HE

LOOKS DOWN LOW, BEHOLDING THE EVIL AND THE HOLY IN EVERY PLACE.

HE IS EL ROI...THE GOD OF VISION. SO WHY DOESN HE ALLOW SO MUCH EVIL

IN THE LAND TO GO ON , YOU MIGHT BE ASKING? WELL, WHO ARE YOU OR ME

TO QUESTION HIS AUTHORITY AND HIS POWER? HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS

DOING AND HE HAS KNOWN YOURS AND MY ENDING SINCE THE BEGINNING.

THE QUESTION IS...DO YOU KNOW WHAT SEASON YOU ARE LIVING IN? TO PUT

IT IN SIMPLE ENGLISH....DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS? OR ARE YOU ONE

WHO PROCRASTINATES AND PUTS OFF TOMORROW FOR DOING WHAT YOU

KNOW NEEDS TO BE DONE TODAY? ARE YOU AN EXCUSE MAKER AND WANT

TO HIDE BEHIND ONE EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER AS TO WHY YOU CAN'T SEEM

TO GET ON THE JOB THAT EVEN GOD ALMIGHTY HAS ASSIGNED YOU TO? I'M

NOT TALKING ONLY ABOUT THE JOB FOR MAN THAT YOU HAVE, BUT THE

CALLING THAT THE LORD GOD PLACED ON YOU EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE IN

YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB. THE WORD OF GOD TEACHES THAT THE GIFTS AND

THE CALLING OF GOD ARE WITHOUT REPENTANCE. THAT SIMPLY MEANS

THAT THERE'S NO EXCUSE THAT WILL GET YOU OUT OF WHAT GOD CREATED

YOU TO DO DOWN HERE ON EARTH. SO MANY MEN TRY TO HIDE AND SOME

ARE RUNNING FROM PLACE TO PLACE DOING THEIR OWN THING AND

SETTING ASIDE WHAT GOD WOULD HAVE THEM DOING. AND YET, GOD IS SO

PATIENT, MERCIFUL , LOVING , KIND , AND COMPASSIONATE THAT HE WILL

ALLOW US ALL THE TIME HE SEES FIT TO FINALLY REACH A TURNING POINT

(A TIME OF REPENTANCE) , WHEREAS YOU FINALLY REALIZE THAT YOU

NEED TO COME BACK TO WHAT HE HAS CREATED YOU FOR IN THE FIRST

PLACE.

THE NATURAL LIFE SEASONS ARE WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL.

BUT, SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING, SOME DON'T KNOW WHAT SEASON THEY ARE

IN. YOU MAY BE ONE WHO IS NOT SURE BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN IN A SEASON

OF SUCH COLDNESS ALL AROUND YOU (FAMILY, FRIENDS) THAT NO LOVE

HAS BEEN SHOWN YOU AND YOU FEEL LIKE IT MUST BE STILL WINTER. BUT,

IT MAY BE FALL AND ABOUT TO CHANGE TO SPRING . YOU SEE, THE

SPIRITUAL SEASONS DON'T COME AT THE SAME TIME OF THE NATURAL

SEASONS. THERE MAY BE BACK TO BACK SUMMER SEASONS WHEREAS

EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL. SOMEONE MAY HAVE JUST GRADUATED AND

ANOTHER MAKING PLANS TO GET MARRIED, ETC. YOU MAY BE ABOUT TO BUY

A NEW HOUSE, ETC. SO EVERYTHING IS JUST "PEACHES". SO THAT LETS YOU

KNOW IT IS SUMMER BECAUSE LIKE UNTO THE NATURAL TIME OF SUMMER,

IT IS USUALLY WHEN ALL THESE TYPE THINGS HAPPEN.

SPRING IS WHEN FLOWERS BLOSSOM AND THE SUN SHINES A LOT. AND

THERE IS ALSO RAIN TO FALL SO THAT THE TREES, BRANCHES, AND

FLOWERS CAN ALL GROW. SO , WE LOOK FOR THE RAIN TO FALL AND THE

SUN TO SHINE. WE DON'T GET UPSET ABOUT IT (IN THE NATURAL) SO , WHY

IS IT THAT WE GET UPSET SOMETIMES WHEN IT RAINS (SPIRITUALLY

SPEAKING) A FEW PROBLEMS COME OUR WAY, BECAUSE THE LORD WANTS

TO HELP US GROW? IS IT BECAUSE WE EXPECT IT TO BE ALL ROSES WITHOUT

ANY THORNS? DO WE THINK THAT WE ARE SO GOOD THAT NOTHING BAD OR

SAD CAN COME OUR WAY? OR SHOULD WE NOT BE THANKFUL AND COUNT

OUR BLESSINGS WHETHER IT RAINS OR WHETHER THE SUN SHINES? WE'RE

TOO EASILY SPOILED SOMETIMES. BUT, THAT'S CHILDISHNESS. THAT'S THE

REASON THE LORD HAS TO ALLOW US TO GO THROUGH SOME TRIALS AND

TRIBULATIONS SO THAT WE CAN "GROW UP" !

WHEN FALL COMES IN THE NATURAL, SOME OF US CAN APPRECIATE SEEING

THE LEAVES CHANGE COLORS AND THEN THEY FALL TO THE GROUND.

WELL, LET'S BE HONEST THOUGH, HOW MANY LOOK FORWARD TO RAKING

ALL THOSE LEAVES UP? WE'D RATHER JUST ADMIRE THE BEAUTIFUL

LEAVES AS LONG AS THEY ARE ON THE LIMBS WHERE THEY BELONG WE SAY.

(SMILE) . AH , COME ON NOW, YOU KNOW I'M TELLING THE TRUTH. MOST

PEOPLE (IF THEY CAN AFFORD IT) WILL HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THE

RAKING OF THE LEAVES. NEVERTHELESS, IN THE "SPIRITUAL FALL" , WE

MUST WATCH OUR CHILDREN GROWING UP AND SOMETIMES FALL AWAY

FROM WHAT WE HAVE TAUGHT THEM. AND ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE TEEN

AGERS, THEY SOMETIMES REBEL AND TURN AND WALK AWAY AND GET

THEMSELVES INTO SOME KIND OF TROUBLE. THEN, WE ARE REMINDED OF

OUR MISTAKES WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER, ALSO. AND EVEN THOUGH WE

DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT TO OUR CHILDREN, WE MUST ADMIT IT TO

OURSELVES AND TO GOD , OUR FATHER.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS GETTING TO RECOGNIZE WHAT SEASON YOU ARE

IN AND ACCEPTANCE OF WHAT MAY HAVE TO COME OUR WAY IF IT IS THE

SEASON OF FALL OR WINTER. JUST AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE SPRING

AND SUMMER WHEN ALL IS WELL, WE NEED TO APPRECIATE KNOWING THAT

THE FATHER KNOWS BEST AND HE WON'T PUT ON US ANY MORE THAN WE

CAN HANDLE. HE LOVES US EVEN FAR MORE THAN OUR EARTHLY PARENTS

DO . AND WHEN THEY USED TO CHASTISE US (OR SOME CALLED IT A

"WHIPPING"), WE THOUGHT AT THAT MOMENT THEY HATED US....BUT, THEY

WOULD GENTLY TELL US AFTER THEY SPANK OR WHIPPED US , THAT IT WAS

BECAUSE THEY LOVED US. WELL, I DON'T MIND TELLING YOU THAT I GREW

UP IN THE ERR OF WHIPPINGS WHENEVER I DID WRONG. MY DAD WAS A

STRICT DISCIPLINARIAN AND WE KNEW WHEN HE TOLD US SOMETHING TO

DO, WE HAD BETTER OBEY AND PROMPTLY! OTHERWISE, WE KNEW WHAT

WAS TO FOLLOW. SO , FOR THE MOST PART, I OBEYED BECAUSE I DIDN'T

LIKE GETTING WHIPPINGS. NEVERTHELESS, I NEVER THOUGHT MY DAD

HATED US.....EVEN THOUGH IT "SMARTED" AT THE TIME.....I FELT LOVED

AFTERWARDS.

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL CHASTEN US IN ORDER THAT WE GET THINGS

RIGHT IN OUR THINKING AS WELL AS OUR ACTIONS. HE DOES IT ONLY

BECAUSE HE LOVES US. THE WORD OF GOD TELLS US THAT IF WE ARE

CHASTENED, COUNT OURSELVES AS A SON, BECAUSE HE CHASTENS ONLY

HIS SONS. OTHERWISE, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOURSELF A "BASTARD.'"

(para.) THAT MEANS YOU WERE FORMED OUT OF WEDLOCK IN THE NATURAL

AND IN THE SPIRITUAL, AS WELL. SO , WE NEED TO APPRECIATE IT WHEN HE

CHASTISES US BECAUSE HE LOVES US AND WANTS US TO STAY ON THE

STRAIT AND THE NARROW ROAD THAT LEADS TO ETERNITY WITH HIM.

OTHERWISE, WIDE IS THE GATE THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION. THA'T'S THE

'SO-CALLED "POPULAR WAY" OF THE WORLD.

INTO EACH LIFESOME RAIN MUST FALL AND THEN THE SUN WILL SHINE

AFTER AWHILE. WE SHOULD APPRECIATE BOTH THE RAIN, AS WELL AS THE

SUN. WE SHOULD THANK GOD FOR HIM WISDOM THAT KNOWS AND KNEW

SINCE THE BEGINNING WHAT WE WOULD NEED IN LIFE. WITHOUT HIM

THERE IS NO LIFE, FOR JESUS IS THE WAY , THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE AND

NO MAN CAN COME UNTO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM. WE NEED TO

HONOR AND ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS SOVEREIGN LORD, AS WELL AS SAVIOR.

AND JUST ALWAYS BEAR IN MIND THAT HE'S IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS

HERE ON EARTH AS WELL AS IN HEAVEN! HE REIGNS AND HE "ROCKS"

SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION!

ONE LAST THING I WANT TO LEAVE WITH YOU, SAINTS OF GOD IS......AS LONG

AS YOU HAVE PLANTED YOUR SEEDS IN THE WINTER AND FALL

MONTHS......SPRIING AND SUMMER SHALL BRING FORTH A GREAT HARVEST!

AND IF YOU LOOK BACK AND GET A GLIMPSE OF YOUR WINTER AND FALL

MONTHS...YOU WILL BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH IN

ORDER THAT YOU COULD BE BROUGHT INTO THE SEASON OF SPRING AND

SUMMER.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL WITH A GREAT HARVEST !!!

PROPHETESS SISTER MARY

“(En)Titled to Pride” BY JEFF GODSOWN

I wish to apologize up front, this message is for the teaching of all, but not

for the correction and or conviction of all. I have witnessed how easy it is for

people, especially church leaders to get caught up in the same pride as satan,

when titles are bestowed on them, by men. Somehow, just like satan, they start

off good, but sooner or later they end up caught in foolish pride, a pride so

deep that they cannot and will not receive a word of correction from God

through the Prophet or person God chooses to bring forth the message. Titles

can change a person, if pride is not kept in check and has always been an

unseen obstacle, then a title can turn into entitlement. Jam 1:19 Wherefore,

my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to

wrath: In our entitled attitude, we soon forgo the whole truth of God‟s Word,

forsaking simple truths from God‟s Word. 1Co 13:4 Love is patient; love is

kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited; 1Co 13:5 does not

act improperly; is not selfish; is not provoked; does not keep a record of

wrongs; 1Co 13:6 finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth;

1Co 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all

things. 1Co 13:8 Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an

end; as for languages, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an

end.

Let us pay just a little closer attention to; 1Cor 13:5 love is not easily

provoked, I recently watched a preacher tell his congregation that if anybody

tried to bring a word of correction forth, that he would shut it down. He gave

1 Cor. 14 as his guideline, specifically; 1Co 14:3 But the person who

prophesies speaks to people for edification, encouragement, and consolation.

He said; when Christ said it is finished, that ended the need for correction,

chastisement, or discipline, here we have a problem as this verse is in the King

James, improperly translated. In the Hebrew Bible, it says this: 1Co 14:3

However, the one speaking forth divrei nevu'ah (words of prophecy) speaks to

Bnei Adam for chizzuk (strengthening) and musar encouragement and

nechamah (comfort). The word musar is translated from the Hebrew as;

chastening, chastisement, correction, discipline, instruction, moral discipline,

teaching with an ethical point If what this Pastor said is true the why are

there more verses containing chastisement in the new testament: Heb 12:5

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto

children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when

thou art rebuked of him:

Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for

what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then

are ye bastards, and not sons.

Heb 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us,

and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto

the Father of spirits, and live?

Heb 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own

pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Heb 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but

grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of

righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

There are many verses both in the King James and the Hebrew Bible that talk

about the chastening of God, that we might be transformed into the sons of

God. We need to pray for our leaders in the church, our Apostles, Prophets,

Preachers, Teachers, and Evangelists, that their eyes and ears remain open to

God and the things of God, but more importantly that their hearts are open to

the things of God. We need to pray that our leaders do not get caught up in

the arrogant ignorance of titles, even to the point of reminding them: Phi 2:3

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let

each esteem other better than themselves. Phi 2:4 Look not every man on his

own things, but every man also on the things of others. Phi 2:5 Let this mind

be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Phi 2:6 Who, being in the form of

God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Phi 2:7 But made himself

of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in

the likeness of men:

Phi 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and

became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Remember, leaders

are important and set up by God‟s governmental design, but also remember,

leaders are human and they are not the only ones subject to God‟s command

to pray for one another. If your leader has somehow someway offended you,

forgive them and move on. I did not say move out, if something is wrong in

the church, pray, pray hard, pray fasting and believe God will answer. I have

found myself doing a lot of weeping as of late, the Father showed me how

much we have hurt His heart in growing weary and not continuing to do the

good things He called us to do. He wants to commune with us but we haven‟t

taken time with Him and how can He convey His heart, His love, His Spirit

and His truth with us if we don‟t take time with Him. God the Father also

showed me, there are those who despite the hurt, the beat downs, and the

sessions of shame placed on them by others, love with His divine love. Inspite

of the pain, their concern is for those around them who have lost their way,

because they got caught up in titles and fluffy words. Now, the question

comes to mind, do you love this much, do you want to love this much, and are

you willing to suffer, like Christ suffered in His love for us? If that‟s you and

the desire of your heart, tell God, ask Him to strengthen you and give you the

courage to face the pain and tears, and help you to lay your life down, pick up

your cross and do and e like Jesus. If you ask believing, God will see you

through, you will experience a greater love, forgiveness will come easily, but

most of all, you will see God working. In all things, be patient; with others,

with yourself, and with God and you too will taste the loving goodness of God.

God bless you, this is part of your journey.

"CHRISTIANITY: BY GOD AND FOR

GOD":By John Grace

Our desire, as newborn Christians, ought to be conformity to the will and

purpose of God. We ought to feel compelled to immerse the entirety of our

being into seeing this come to full fruition. When we speak of Christianity

primarily in terms that center in our needs being met and our desires being

fulfilled, we speak amiss. Christianity, at its very core, is about God, and what

He requires. All things were created by God and for God (cf. Romans 11:36;

Revelation 4:11). We have been redeemed from the guilt and punishment of

sin, and delivered to His righteousness. Our very redemption has a purpose

rooted and established in God Himself:

"In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan

of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in

order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of

his glory" (Ephesians 1:11-12). We belong to God. We were bought with the

price of His holy Blood (cf. I Corinthians 6:20; I Peter 1:18-19; 2:9). We have

been renewed and given the Holy Spirit so that we might serve God and give

Him the glory that's due His holy name. We were purchased to be a people

representative of God to the world at large. He told us this when He selected

Israel to be His delegates (Exodus 19:3-6). They were chosen also because

before they could be His witnesses to the world at large, they themselves had to

know that He was indeed God of gods (Isaiah 43:10). This very same task has

been given to Christians (cf. Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 5:18-20). Christianity is

all about glorifying God and making Him known as He is to all the earth. This

is central to the faith. His will, His desire, His goal. He has a plan which was

formulated long before creation, and He has chosen us, in love, to be a part of

it. We have been predestined to carry out His plan; chosen in love to partake

in the glory of displaying His glory! One day soon, Jesus is returning. He is

returning to receive His rightful glory. Moreover, He is coming to be glorified

in His chosen people (II Thessalonians 1:10). He will, on that day, reveal His

infinite wisdom to the entire universe, to every principality and power, the

wonder of His glory in taking rebellious sinners and, through the Blood of His

Cross and the subsequent work of the Spirit, transforming them into new

creations, fully remade into the image of Christ. He would have a people that

not only represent Him, but resemble Him! Because of this awesome reality to

come, we are then, as His chosen people, obligated by faith to live in

accordance with His will and desire. This is why He urges us to be led of the

Spirit, and to put to death the deeds of the flesh (cf. Romans 8:1-12; Galatians

6:7-8; Colossians 3:1-17; Ephesians 4, etc...). We have been delivered from

that self-serving lifestyle; that man-centered state of being; and have been

made partakers of His divine nature, giving us all that we need to fulfill His

call on us (II Peter 1:3-4). Beloved, let us then separate ourselves from every

activity, every line of thinking, and every practice that would keep us from

achieving God's intended end. Let's dedicate the entirety of our beings, fully

devote ourselves to pleasing God and showing forth His glory. Let us cleanse

ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh, and perfect holiness in the fear of

God (II Corinthians 7:1), and let's prove our love and gratitude to God by

obeying His commandments. Indeed, for this is the whole duty of man

(Ecclesiastes 12:13). Do not define Christianity, or live it in such a way that

our needs and desires being met by God are primary. This is a false

assumption and a crumbling foundation of sand. Instead, "Seek first the

kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things will be

added to you" (Matthew 6:33). Blessings will come to us, but our primary goal

is to satisfy the desire of the Lord; to conform ourselves to His will and

predestined plan. As we do this, He will work everything else out.

"Trust and obey, for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus but to trust

and obey".

May the Lord give you insight into these things, according to His Spirit of

wisdom and revelation. All so that the entirety of your life may be to the praise

of His glory and grace. Blessings to you in our Lord Jesus, beloved!

Operation Global Emergency Prayer : BY

ELDER PAMELA R RICHARDS

Across the globe, "sites of emergency” are being declared, and more often

than we are comfortable with hearing. It‟s as though the foundation of the

earth is opening up right before our eyes. What are we to do in all of this peril

that we are witnessing? Are you thinking like I thought and say, "the

catastrophic events are imminent, so what choice do we have in the

matter?”(See Matt. 24:7) There is a choice that we, as Kingdom citizens will

always have, which is prayer. Given all of the myriad, and sudden catastrophic

events, Operation Global Emergency Prayer has been initiated.

What is Operation Global Emergency Prayer? Operation Global Emergency

Prayer is a 21-day initiative, which was mandated by GOD, to address the

growing global concerns through prayer. During this 21-day prayer,

intercessors globally are connecting to petition the throne to stand against

global warming issues, and any other issue causing all of the many violent

tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. The Global Emergency Prayer warriors are

grouped together to pray separately for each of the seven continents for any of

the national cries within each continent. Intercessors are connecting by email,

Facebook, and prayer lines in order to keep their prayers for each continent

on one accord.

Thus far, we have heard of documented cases of earthquakes and volcanic

eruptions in the countries of Chile, and New Zealand. We praise GOD, as

there were no reports of any deaths, and the damage did not appear to be

significant. We are petitioning GOD as it concerns the weather issues, that

there be minimal to no loss. We are asking GOD to take the strength from any

tornado, earthquake, hurricane, twister, tsunami, or mudslide that is forming.

We understand that though they may form, that they would pass over the areas

in hopes that someone that does not know Christ would have an opportunity to

confess Him as their Lord and Savior before something of this magnitude

occurs. We are committed to praying for souls, and for destiny fulfillment for

His people. We are aggressively praying for restoration of all of those

oppressed throughout our world, and asking GOD to keep His chosen leaders

strong. We believe through prayer, that violence against children, and that

world hunger would end. See articles:

We are updating our website daily with growing global concerns, as well as

documented praise reports for areas covered in prayer. Through this initiative,

we have had many of our intercessors acknowledge that they were not as

mindful concerning most remote places throughout the world. This has been a

learning experience for all parties involved. We are eager to learn as much as

we can concerning the issues that are prevalent within each continent. We are

sitting and looking at our globes and world maps as students being taught

geography all over again. It has been so wonderful to connect with the

intercessors participating around the globe.

Which areas are the intercessors represented by? The intercessors are located

in the following areas: Atlanta, Georgia, Mobile, Alabama, Maryland,

California, Oregon, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York,

Ghana, Senegal, & Egypt. There are currently thirty intercessors assisting

with this mission.

When did the initiative begin, and when will it end? Operation Global

Emergency Prayer commenced on May 29, 2011, and will conclude on June

19, 2011 at midnight.

We desire that each of you reading this article be willing to continue to

petition GOD for the impossible. As long as GOD sits on His throne, what

seems impossible to us will always remain possible to Him! Stay involved great

people of destiny and GOD bless you one and all!

YOU ARE A KING, NO LESS!!!! YOU

CAN BE ENTHRONED: BY JOSEPH

KING

And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise

lordship over them, and those who exercise authority

over them are called ‘benefactors’. But not so among you;

on the contrary, he who is the greatest among you, let him

be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.

For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who

serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet am among you

as the One who serves. But you are those who have

continued with Me in My trials. And I bestow upon

you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me.

Luke 22:25-28

Surrounded and overwhelmed, Arthur sensed fear and panic running through

his ranks. Most of the men had been fighting with him in the jungles for almost

all of their adult life. They had believed his quest for the throne of England.

They believed that it rightfully belonged to him. And their offense at the cruel

measures of injustice meted out by Arthur’s uncle, who so betrayed his brother

by usurping the throne, had kept them in a solid resolve to restore the throne to

its rightful heir.

And yet, in spite of their radical conviction, the popular appeal of their leader,

or even the continuous mount of offense that prevailed throughout the kingdom

in protest to Arthur’s uncle, the odds of ever ascending the throne were

seemingly insurmountable.

His uncle had joined hands with his mother and brothers and all of the other

provincial princes, most of whom were too scared to contend his will. Further

more, he had sealed an alliance with all neighboring kingdoms so that all of

them not only recognized his leadership but also had sent troops to strengthen

his fight against Arthur.

Arthur’s options narrowed every passing day as more and more people feared to

suffer the uncle’s reprisals for the support they lent him.

So, locked in the forests of northern England, outflanked in military might and

strength, and with fear running through the camp, Arthur departed to a solitary

place to remember the only encouragement he’d valued all his life: Alone and

still resolute, he remembered how often his father tutored him thus, "Arthur,

never quit; never fear; never doubt your abilities in battle. Always master

courage and believe in your cause, knowing that even when defeat is near and

seemingly clear, victory is still possible.”

These words echoed deep inside, welling up strength and hope. Returning to his

weak, embattled and tired troops, he marshaled his top commanders urging that

everyone be assembled before him. Looking at them with renewed vigor, he

affirmed the possibilities of his enthronement. He predicted that contrary to

their circumstance, it was the enemy that was losing ground. He reasoned to

them how his uncle’s continuously increasing tyranny was the obvious

consequence of his increasing weakness.

He dared them to push more, fight more, and believe more, citing that the glory

of England lay in their hands.

And in those words with which his troops had become accustomed, he finished

his rousing speech urging, "YES WE CAN!!!!”

THE SUBJECT:

The rally was a sterling success with dramatic effect on the men.

Simultaneously and roundly motivated, a surge of voices was released as all

the men, teary eyed, lifted chin, and straightened shoulders hollered, "YES

WE CAN!!!” All of them firmly revived to the glorious prospect when

England would see the dawn of the bright day when Arthur, the renegade

warrior, the people‟s prince, would be enthroned as her king. Once again it

was possible to envisage the day when the tortured subjects of this great nation

would live as kings under their true and great king.

The days of defeat must be firmly buried in your past. Victory is not for some

exclusive category of men. That was never God‟s intention. All men were

created equal; all were made to suit HIS royal entity. This means that inherent

in every man is the potential for leadership. Every man can be enthroned. And

every man includes YOU!

When God created man, the position HE envisaged him to be was that of king.

Man was created to have power and authority, dominion over all creation:

Then God said, "LET Us make man in Our image and

likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the

sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all

the earth and over every living thing that moves on the

earth. Genesis 1:26

Man was conceived in the mind of God with royalty as his mandate. And as

God reigns in heaven above, HE intended man to reign on the earth below.

And as there was a kingdom of heaven with HIM on the throne, God intended

there to be a kingdom of earth with man on the throne.

Nothing on earth was ever supposed to overwhelm man. Neither was there any

man that was ever supposed to be victim or inferior to any other man. It was

the intention of God that all men conform to the royalty of Christ from whom

all were made, just as it was HIS intention that all men be above all else.

For your information, this privilege is unique to man; it is peculiar to his

specie. No other being does God consider in such esteemed regard; not even

the mighty angels of heaven.

When Lucifer, the former arch-angel in-charge of worship, sought royalty, he

paid with defeat, expulsion from heaven, and awaits further judgment when

he will forever be banished in the lake of sulphur. Only man is mandated to

reign as God does, and betterstill, to eventually reign with God.

I am certain that the mocking voice of darkness would like to intimidate you

from any such prospect. The usual temptation of disadvantage in this regard is

that royalty is an exclusive preserve for certain talented categories of esteemed

individuals, or as in traditional kingdoms, reserved for those with the famed

„blue‟ blood.

That is a clear lie, a blunt deceit that Satan has woven through the episodes of

fallen man‟s history where through time some men have been perceived to be

or, have asserted themselves, way over and above others.

Not so with God. In HIS glorious and compassionate mind, HE upholds all

men to be equal, all are incredible, all capable of royalty, and none inherently

inferior:

Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one. Job 36:5

In HIS scheme of things, there is no man incapable of glory, no man damned

to slavery. All men are equal and are destined for leadership, all are gifted

with power and authority, and all are able to provide answers for all men.

This is the lesson we are to observe in the scriptures when we see God‟s

choices of leaders. HE consistently seemed to choose men that were ordinarily

not perceived as being capable to lead. In many instances, HE seemed to have

picked men that doubted their own abilities to govern, men that

underestimated themselves.

Consider the account of a young man called Saul: Here was a man that had

resigned to domestic work, looking after his father‟s livestock. On the

particular day that his father‟s horses had run away and he was sent to look

for them, he occasions the prophet Samuel who anoints him to be the first

king of Israel.

Observe Saul‟s response to this possibility:

And Saul answered and said, "Am I not a Benjamite,

of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family

the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin?

Why then do you speak like this to me? 1 Samuel 9:21

Here was a man looking for runaway livestock and on the course of his search

he finds a prophet that declares him to be king. In his own opinion, it was way

out of his league.

And it wasn‟t only Saul who doubted his capabilities as a leader and therefore

the prospect of being enthroned king of Israel, so did others. There were some

who thought Israel deserved better:

And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see

him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is

no one like him among all the people?” So all

the people shouted and said, "Long live the king!”

……But some rebels said, "How can this man

save us?” So they despised him, and brought him

no presents. But he held his peace. 1 Samuel 10:24, 27

And yet, in spite of Saul‟s doubts and those who despised him, God had

counted him to be king. In HIS omniscient wisdom where all truth lies, HE

knew the royal abilities that Saul would master regardless of the opinions of

men.

What is more is that God knew that all men can be king. Any of them could

govern over Israel which in any case he had originally intended to be a nation

of kings:

Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice

and keep My covenant, then you shall be a

special treasure to Me above all people; for all the

earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom

of priests and a holy nation. Exodus 19:5

The entire nation was intended to be a collection of kings and priests just as

God had intended that all men from Adam were to be a people of kings and

priests, a specie of royal-divine privilege.

As such, this identity is the true identity of humankind; we are a royal-divine

specie. This is the witness that Christ came to shed light to. When Pilate

queried his claim to royalty he affirmed something that bears glorious

implication to all men:

Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?”

Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king.

For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have

come into the world, that I should bear witness to

the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My

voice. John 19:37

The truth HE came to bear witness to goes beyond who HE was; it extends to

who we are, or more specifically, who we ought to be. As the reigning king

eternal, the everlasting King of kings, HE came that HE may complete the

structure of HIS authority. And that structure is incomplete without men

awakening to their royal-divine status.

Who HE is, is insufficient without who we are. HIS Kingdom is a dominion

of royalty- HE is King of kings; not King of subjects. That is why at some point

when the Jews sought to crown HIM king, he declined:

Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about

to come and take him by force to make Him king, He

departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.

John 6:15

Although HE had been born King of the Jews, the everlasting One whose

reign should only increase and never end, HE was conscious that the people

that sought to enthrone HIM had overlooked the required structure of

authority HE ought to preside. As Messiah, HE can only be King of kings. HE

cannot be Lord of subjects. As long as they perceived themselves as inferior

beings, HE could not be their king.

This is the eternal truth that HE seeks to this day in the hearts of all men. It is

also the Father‟s good pleasure. Brethren, above all else the Father seeks that

you are lifted together with Christ reigning in glory:

God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great

love with which He loved us, even when we were

dead in trespasses made us alive together with Christ

(by grace you have been saved), and raised us together,

and made us sit together in the heavenly places in

Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show

the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness

toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7

Can you receive such wonderful grace?

What a glorious intention. It is too good and yet true. This is God‟s eternal

grand gesture to humankind: From eternity past through all time, till all

eternity ahead, God intends that all men awaken to the riches of HIS

incredibly rich mercies. HIS desire for all men is to enthrone them so that they

reign with HIS Son over all power forever and ever. Matter of fact, this is the

only kingdom that has no end. Every other pretense at authority will cease and

be substituted by this divine will of God.

This is what fellowship with Jesus is a lot about; it climaxes to the realities of

reigning eternal with HIM. And for clarity, this type of authority is way

beyond the league of secular or carnal dominion. Reigning with Christ is over

and above every other form of authority. The one that assumes the authority

of divinity wields power in heaven and on earth, he functions according to the

Melchizedek Order, which is the highest level of authority (Hebrews 7).

A significant reference is made to the extent to which this authority supersedes

any other authority when Christ assures the Roman governor, Pilate, as to

why he seemed to have an edge over him:

Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to

me? Do You not know that I have the power to

crucify You, and power to release You?”

Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all

against Me unless it has been given to you from

above.” John 19:10, 11

In this context, we witness Christ placing carnal authority beneath divine

authority.

Whereas, Pilate had presumed that he held the life of Jesus in his hands, he

was ignorant regarding the fact that Jesus was laying down HIS life and that

no one could take it from HIM. Further still, the very exercise of Pilate‟s

authority was occasioned by the permission of divine authority.

Beloved, fear not, it is God‟s intention to enthrone you. The reference must be

made again for emphasis- ponder on this immortal truth:

Do not fear, little flock, for it is the Father‟s good

pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32

And not just to make you king, but to enable you reign with HIM. HE

earnestly desires that you reign over heaven and earth. It does not matter the

odds against you or whatever background you have. HIS will for you is to

assume divine authority. God wants to place you above all principality, over all

power, over all authority, even the one that seeks to destroy you:

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents

and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy,

and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19

When we say that we are Christians, that we are God‟s children, do we realize

how much power and authority we wield?

May be you are not a believer in Christ or you are and have been ignorant of

your divine heritage and royal predisposition. This book is in your hands to let

you know that you can be enthroned on the highest order of authority there is

in all of eternity. That privilege awaits your faith in Christ and your activation

of the power HE indwells in you.

From henceforth, receive what God has so graciously given. Refuse to be a

victim and awaken to your privilege. You are a son of God, a brother and

comrade to the King of kings, a king and priest according to the highest order

of authority, the Melchizedek order.

So straighten your shoulders, lift your head, as you meditate on your

omnipotent privilege. Refuse to be a victim and appreciate your eternal victory

in Christ. HE has lifted you where you belong. Heaven is your domain, the

earth your operational ground, and hell and all its hosts, your victim:

Whatever you bind on earth, shall be bound in

heaven. Whatever you loose on earth shall be

loosed in heaven. Mathew

Activate your divine-royalty and begin to bind and loose, to permit and

prohibit, to allow and to refuse. What this privilege means is that heaven is

waiting for your command, and so are the forces of darkness. All principalities

and powers are obliged at your behest.

My dear, shun any and every temptation of disadvantage that seeks to make

you a subject of fate and of every whim of darkness. You do not belong there.

Arise to your glory which the LORD has bestowed upon you, and shine.

Shine your power, shine your wisdom, shine your mercy, shine your kindness,

shine your justice, shine your prosperity, shine, shine, shine, and shine.

And as you do, as you awaken to your enthronement, I see you blessing your

family, nation, and generation, even many nations and many generations.

Your lordship is unique in a perverted world driven by greed. Unlike the rulers

of this age who pillage and loot those they govern, I see you exercise increase

for others. I see you lend to nations, bind the broken hearted, set captives free,

introduce others to their own enthronement.

The apostle Peter captured well the glorious uniqueness of your leadership

when celebrating it, he said:

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,

a holy nation, His own special people, that you may

proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of

darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9

That is who you are: Enthroned and unique, different and special. You are a

royal-priesthood, a privileged part of God‟s holy nation on the earth. Vested in

you is the mandate to establish the will of God on earth as it is in heaven. You

live in this earthly realm to convert it into a heavenly experience for as many

as you can. Unlike mortal leaders who convert their domains into an earthly

hell, yours is a mandate to bless the nations, even those who curse you.

Men shall be the better because of your mandate. Lives will thrive because of

the exercise of your mandate. Your leadership is a refreshing experience for

many suffering the damnation of a wicked system run by evil men:

When the righteous are in authority, the people

rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people

groan. Proverbs 29:2

Consequently, wickedness will vanish at the behest of your authority. As you

hold the scepter of righteousness, light will spring forth illuminating the

riches of the glory of heaven. Literally all round you, wherever you go, lives

will be positively transformed because of your leadership.

You are the blessing in the city, the blessing in the countryside. You are the

light in your world, the salt of all men. The world requires your counsel and

all creation awaits your wisdom. My friend, kings and princes, priests and

wise men, people from far and near are coming to your light if you will

awaken to this mandate.

So as you venture further into the details of this dominion, I pray that you

remember me in your kingdom.

Stop Running Away From God's Calling On

Your Life! By Melinda Dee Perrodin, MBA

The first reason some people avoid God‟s calling is because they do not want

to give up their lifestyle or job to follow God. He wants you to deny yourself

and take up the cross and follow him daily (Matthew 16:24). When you

continue to run away from God‟s calling it hurts God. The word of God states

that "when you do not take his cross and follow after him you are not worthy

of him” (Matthew 10:38).

Some people also run away from God‟s calling because they feel so unworthy!

God is not concerned with your past because all He wants is a humble and

obedient heart. God uses imperfect people to fulfill his purpose on Earth.

Moses was used by God even though he murdered a man but God still used

him to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. David committed adultery but

God never removed him as a king.

The last reason people run away from God‟s calling is because they are too

fearful. Jonah was given instruction by God to go and preach the gospel to

the people of Nineveh. Jonah feared going to Nineveh because he was afraid

of the people. He refused to obey God and he fled to Tarshish. Jonah‟s

disobedience led to a storm occurring in his life. When you do not follow the

will of God, it will bring disorder in your life.

God will not let you have peace in your life until you do his will. Jonah did

not find peace until he repented to God and he went to Nineveh to preach the

gospel. God wants you to stop running from your calling. He will not call you

without preparing you for your calling. All God wants you to do is to submit

to him and to serve him with a humble and obedient heart. Your obedience to

God will lead to blessings for your life. "If you obey God, you shall eat the

good of the land” (Isaiah 1:19).

THE PUZZLE OF LIFE! BY LINDA

FAWKES

The older I get the more I realise the LESS I know and how varied and unique God is. He

works in ways that cannot always be grasped by the Human mind but He ALWAYS has our

best interests at heart - for He is our Loving Father who will never hurt us.

Life is like a puzzle. I have found over the years so many things happening in my life that I

never dreamt would happen. Some things very tragic. I am glad I don't have hindsight

because it may have stopped me from doing what I have done and I wouldn't be the person

I am today. I have always found God's Grace HAS been sufficient for me - whatever I have

had to face.

Every day I wake up with a piece of jigsaw in my hand and it can look strange and

uncertain. I don't know where it fits in the JIGSAW OF MY LIFE - but God already has

the FULL picture - and if I ask Him to guide me - He will help me to put them into the right

place - so in the end the final picture is God's Masterpiece.

We are not meant to trust in our own understanding but in the Lord's Wisdom for He

knows best and is the perfect Artist!

Life is also like a train journey. We begin our journey when we are born and at each stop

something different is encountered. It is an unpredictable journey and we never know what

the next stop holds - but we have to continue on this journey of life until we reach the final

destination - HEAVEN.

Every stop is a learning curve. Trials that will test us - so that as we move on down the line

- we will grow stronger as Christians to face the bigger hurdles at the next stop. God will

never send anything our way that we can't handle - but He HAS to allow things to come to

us so we can GROW and realise what our faith is like.

Life is like a set of doors. We enter through one door and encounter different experiences

and then God closes that one and leads us through another which can be totally beyond our

understanding. We may want to go backwards and enter the last door because we don't like

the place we are in - but we cannot go back - for God has closed that door and we must

always move on forwards - trusting in His love for us as a Loving Father.

This article may seem negative. But for me it is reality. I have gone through childhood

abuse, anorexia, bulimia, severe depression, deaths of loved ones, seen my own family go

through illnesses that medically speaking cannot be treated. My own family through the

generations have had epilepsy, schizoprenia, have been and ARE self-cutters, have

suicidal tendencies, anorexia/ bulimia , alcoholics and gamblers.

But I praise God for everything and wouldn't want to change ANYTHING for He has

blessed me so much with His love, strength and Grace. He has opened my mind and heart

to the suffering of others and I feel quite comfortable talking to anyone. Because I have

experienced pain and suffering and STILL see this around me in my own family I have

grown more and more dependant on the Lord and less on myself and anyone else.

Life is so uncertain and we are so fragile and vunerable. No one but God can save us and

strengthen us to go on our journey of life. The trials have made me stronger - my love for

Jesus deeper - as He has always been faithful !

In their darkness and suffering many of my family turned to the Lord and He came to

them. Because of their suffering they cried out for strength and He helped them. If they

had not encountered sorrows and hardships - maybe they wouldn't have seen the need and

instead gone into eternity without Him - which would have been tragic. But though they

still suffer in various ways they are now Christians and the Lord helps them to carry on.

Our sufferings are for a short while - Eternity is forever. They know one day God will wipe

away all tears and suffering will cease - and this gives them hope and strength to

persevere. God is ALWAYS able to help us in our need so we can keep running to finish

the race.

Some people have happy and care-free lives and don't understand the meaning of

depression or why people can cut themselves. They are fortunate. Not everyone is born

that way. If a child is born into an abusive environment where self-cutting, suicidal

tendencies and other destructive behaviours are the normal pattern of behaviour - how else

can a child learn any differently - if they have no other examples to follow?

Thank you Lord for all the sad times in my life. The trials and sorrows I have had to bear.

Thank you that in all the dark times You have helped us to turn to You and find New Life -

so even though we can still have sad times - one day ALL WILL BE WELL when we go to

Heaven.

Thank you for all the compassion You have shown me which has given me compassion for

others. I pray that the Lord will always be a leading Light to others who are going through

the dark times and we too can shine for Jesus and testify to His goodness - even when we

too have encountered bad times.

The Church is the Body of Christ and we all have different gifts and are at different

stages on our journey. We all have gone through different circumstances - faced many

things and TOGETHER God has EQUIPPED His church with all the gifts that it needs to

minister to one another - through Him.

May we all be open to one another's needs and may the Lord work in all of us to persevere

on our Christian walk so TOGETHER we can stand tall and go out to others

PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST - because of the way we

PERSONALLY have encountered Jesus Christ ourselves and can truly TESTIFY to His

Mercy and Love.

In Jesus Name I ask it AMEN AND AMEN.

Thank You Lord.

May the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all as you fix your mind on Him.

BEYOND SHAVUOT / PENTECOST *(Its

More Than GIFTS!!!) PART ONE & TWO:

BY JOSHUA REE

BEYOND SHAVUOT / PENTECOST *(Its More Than GIFTS !!!)

Do You UNderstand This THING we call Pentcost ? DO YOU Want to

UNDERstand This HOLY TIME ??? I say this Because its Not About Playing

With SUPERNATURAL TOYS, as many have come to Think & Live OUT

,Opening a Different Door......! WHAT ? ITS ABOUT TRUE RELATIONSHIP,TRUE

LOVE / HESED,& what has been missing in What we call The Church . COME

ON, Its Worth KNOWING TRUE LIFE IN CHRIST,RIGHT .....?

WE must start at the beginning to SEE The Full Picture , That puts us in the

writings of Moses The 1st 5 books ,Known as The TORAH. Knowing this we

must remember that these writings came much later than when the

beginning Was ; therefore these words where handed down by others telling

the stories & YHWH speaking to the Heart / Spirit of Moses. Thus when we

read these Happenings we understand THAT THIS IS AFTER THE FACT of when

it took place . I say this because We need to keep this in mind as the verbal

picture unfolds...this will be more in chronological order to explain the

ACTIONS ! Our brief will be concerning the 6th & 7th days of what is known as

creation .

The Hebrew is written in a form of poetic verse that has a cadence to it when

read both inward & outwardly. This gives a form of (the last being first & the

first being last ) as to keep the cadence and the use of words in form that is

not as English ....gives meaning to the Words Lost In Translation !!!

We start with GENESIS 1 : 26 GOD saying ,LET US make Man in our Image

,After Our Likeness: and Let THEM have DOMINION Over....27.So GOD created

Created MAN in HIS IN HIS OWN IMAGE , In the Image of GOD created HE him

(mankind -adam / ad'-um or aw-dawm - A New Species, A Little Lower Than

The Angels ( HEBREWS2 : 6 - 12 & PSALM 8 :3 - 9 ) The last part of vs.27 - 28

came after there was more we see in the 7th day writings that show up in

chapter 2. GENESIS 2 : 1 - 6 is the 7th day starting with vs .7 - 25 is all back on

the 6th day. this is where we understand what is taking place ,with the

important Prophetic Appointed Time of Pentecost / Shavuot . Start to receive

the HESED / Love of our Father Yehovah . From verse 8 onward we can find

courtship... vs.15 YHWH beyond the outer curtain * outside the camp Called

Earth To the Gateway / Path Of TABERNACLE *The Garden of Eden ( a

delight,pleasant ,to live voluptuously, pleasure ) ,then suddenly, Adam

received his 1st Commandment....OF EVERY TREE of The Garden you may Eat

FREELY : BUT of the Tree of the Knowledge of Righteousness & Evil or UN-

righteousness, you shall NOT EAT of it : for IN THE DAY THAT YOU DO YOU

SHALT SURELY DIE. VS 18 is a very interesting verse the mention of A HELP

MEET a HELP FIT for the ADAM / ISH . The thought goes back to the beginning

of creation of The Earth & All Thats In it then fast - forward TO The CREATED

MAN . Verse 19 & 20 form an Picture of GIFTS With AUTHORITY ! THERE IS A

...BLANK ;The blank is NO response or reply from The Adam... WHAT IS THIS

??? SELAH !!! This word MEET ,means FIT. This word ay'-zer has a root word

aw-zar' meaniing to surround ,protect help & aid ; the first use of this root is

with the Jacobs deathbed blessing of JOSEPH ( GENESIS 49 :25 ) SAYING " The

ELOHIM of thy Father,who shall Help you..." Does this Open our eyes To What

was being Said here ?

THE FATHER ,OUR FATHER YHWH ,WAS SPEAKING TO The Adam as a son ,but

more; as they being one. ONE ! ALL THE FREE GIFTS are like courtship,YHWH

Being more than ALL Adam needed or ever would need . WHEN Adam didnt

respond , YHWH DID SOMETHING EVEN STRONGER .......HE GAVE Adam A

PART OF HIMSELF;THE EL-SHADDAI PART !!! WHAT ? You say . We need to

understand the ONENESS / BINDING part that this gives to LIFE . Now

remember this is YHWH talking with Adam ever before there was an Eve or

ISH Think about the two ELOHIM & Adam walking & talking about All that

this world this Earth was to be...how The I AM told him about each Word

spoken came into being,the sky ,stars & other planets ,the oceans and land

masses the firmament called HEAVEN ,the fruit trees and all other life forms

...fowl fish& animals of many kinds all for his joy & living with YHWH . AND

YHWH looked at all HE had made ...Behold ,it was very good; RIGHTEOUS ! HE

even allowed the created Adam man name the other creations ....BUT for

Some reason there was something missing in this Personal Relationship

between the two, Adam seemed incomplete as if there was to be more still.

THERE WAS NOT in Adams eye a help fit for himself. WOW ! YEHOVAH gives

MORE, THIS TIME PART OF HIMSELF . AS said before THE EL-SHADDAI . WE

SAY ..GOD ALMIGHTY this is EL- SHADDAI, AS spoken to ABRAM (GENESIS 17

:1- )YHWH,SAID I Am EL- SHADDAI; WALK with ME and be perfect .And I will

make My Covenant between ME & You...SOMETIMES EL-SHADDAI is called

the Many Breasted One strong in battle with Power& Might of HIS Spirit ; but

there is more still...this word BREAST, not only mighty in battle, but quick to

nourish ,satisfy, supply, comfort,give increase,birth! even to pour / pours out .

ITS like saying I AM YOUR ALL IN ALL ! ARE we Seeing & Hearing ? In the

Greek its IKANOS translated ALL-SUFFICIENT...Now the light comes on,right ?

LET us continue as counting All That is being said ...SEE this GENESIS 49 :

24,25.this is concerning Joseph: "...the arms of his hands were made Strong

by the Hands of the Mighty God of JACOB....even by The EL of thy Father,who

shall help you ;& by the below,blessings of the Breast of Shaddai ,who shall

Bless you with Blessings of Heaven above , of the Deep that couches below,

Blessings of the Breast & of the womb ..." Move forward to ISAIAH 66:13 , "As

a Mother comforts her son so will I comfort you ;and you shall find comfort in

JERUSALEM." LUKE 13 :34 reads " O Jerusalem,Jerusalem,which kills the

Prophets,& stones them that are sent to you; how often would I (AM the

Shaddai) have gathered your children together( as one) ,as a Hen gathers her

young under her wings , and you would not ! "

NOW REMEMBER Adam ? WE are back to him now...YHWH, caused a DEEP

SLEEP to fall upon him as being anaesthetized ,and HE took one of Adams ribs

from his side,& closed up the flesh instead thereof;and the Rib,which ADONAI

Yehovah had taken from the Adam,made( as building another Adam but

different) ,HE made a Woman ,And Brought her unto the Adam Man. * You

might want to re-read this part and see something that took place ! SELAH !!!

REMINDING : This is happening on the 6TH day. Genesis 2 : 23 & 25,Listen ;

AND Adam Said, This *(ONE) is NOW * ( AT LAST ) Bone of MY Bones,& Flesh

of MY Flesh: she shall be Called ISHA =Woman, Because she Was Taken Out

Of Man (ME)......AND they where both Naked, the man / ISH and his woman -

wife / ISHA,and were Not Ashamed . * DO WE SEE ? THERE ARE 2

MOVEMENTS IN THIS ACTION TAKING PLACE, ONE OF ADONAI'S WILL THE

OTHER OF Mans ! GOD REACHES DOWN TO ADAM, EVEN WHEN

REJECTED....... PUTS THE MAN AS ASLEEP OPENS him up to do Yet Another

WORK , Removes a Rib from the man ADAM ,placing with it More soil of the

Earth forming another being in the Adam image ...the Isha & puts not only a

rib of man but a Feminine action of TO NURTURE in the Spirit of the Woman;

A PART OF EL SHADDAI . WOW !

SOMETHING TO PONDER IS SAID...'THEY WERE BOTH NAKED, the man & his

wife,& were Not Ashamed ." GEN 2 :25, Now compare this to EXODUS 32 :25

:This has 2 Counts of being naked ,See 2 CHR. 28: 19 - 25 ,this is also Counted

nakedness......

AS WE COME TO Chapter 3 please keep in mind this all is taking place in DAY

6. THIS ALSO BEING A PART OF THE STORY OF THE FALLING THAT WE KNOW

SO WELL......or do we ???

STARTING WITH THE WORD SERPENT , HE Was SUBTIL / SHREWDEST OF ALL

THE WILD BEAST THAT THE LORD GOD HAD MADE . * Lets See Other Gifts this

creature has :to foretell from signs or symptoms,to predict , To Prophecy

,foreshow ... to hiss , whisper,enchant ,use magic,even put spells...or

incantation...to be smooth of skin as naked !! AN ANGEL FROM Heaven not

only FELL himself...thats the seeds he sowed THE FALL OF MANKIND AS WELL.

SEE REVELATION 12 :7 - 9 . THE ONE WHO MADE WORSHIP & PRAISE IN THE

HEAVENS , knows how to snare hearts & tie with cunning smooth words

whispered in ears Wanting By The Soul ! This Serpent knew how to Talk with

EVE with Such Seduction , her eyes & ears were Set on This ANGELIC BEING

More than God & Adam her Husband ;the Fruit of his lips were filled with

Leaven , the Smooth Talk & Skin took her to Lusting for more of his Being &

Wisdom as he Rendered Prophetic words ...the Food that would make Her like

a god , Knowing Good From Evil. the words danced WITHIN HER SOUL SHE

WANTED TO EAT THE FRUIT OF THE tree MORE THAN OBEYING THE WORDS

OF LIFE SPOKEN BY YEHOVAH...SHE WAS LIFE; SHE GAVE TO ADAM HIS OWN

WILLINGNESS TO DISOBEY ; HIS FREEWILL TO BE WITH EVE KILLED HIMSELF !

LUST OF THE EYES & THE PRIDE OF LIFE CAUSED IDOL WORSHIP ,ADULTERY,&

PRIDE TO SEEK ANOTHER LORD FORSAKING YHWH......THE NURTURING

DEPARTED FROM TRUTH TO A LIE ! CAN YOU HEAR EL-SHADDAI WEEP & CRY

???

AND THE LORD GOD Said,Behold, The Man Adam has become One of Us,

Knowing Good & Evil:& now, lest he put forth his hand & take of THE TREE OF

LIFE Eat & Live For Ever ....So The Adam Man Was Removed From The Garden

Of Eden . THE 1st Adam & 1st Eve now knew EXPULSION as YEHOVAH Placed

Cherubim .& A FLAMING SWORD Which turned every way , TO KEEP THE WAY

OF THE TREE OF LIFE ! THE COVENANT WAS NOT EXCEPTED IT WAS BROKEN

LIKE HEARTS OF STONE AND THE FAMILY OF MAN STARTED ITS WANDERING

IN THE WILDERNESS OUTSIDE THE GARDEN With Bitter Waters & Dry

Soil......COUNTING WEIGHTS & MEASURES, BLESSINGS &

CORRECTIONS.....ONE AT A TIME, EACH DAY ! SHALOM !

BEYOND SHAVUOT / PENTECOST.......( ITS MORE THAN GIFTS ) PART 2

STARTING AT EXODUS CHAPTER 33 ; THIS WAS AFTER MOSES CAME DOWN

MOUNT SINAI, The First Time ;WHEN THE GOLDEN CALF WAS DESTROYED &

THE COVENANT TABLETS OF STONE WERE BROKEN, THUS THE MARRIAGE

COVENANT WAS BROKEN BY MANS ACTIONS AND THE PROPHET OF YHWH.

AS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD WENT BEFORE THEM, YHWH STAYED AWAY

SAYING, " I WILL NOT GO UP IN THE PRESENCE OF ISRAEL;FOR YOU ARE A

STIFFED NECKED & REBELLIOUS PEOPLE : LEST I CONSUME YOU IN THE ROUTE

OF YOUR TRAVEL ." THE YOUNG NATION OF ISRAEL Hearing All that was said

About them ;they mourned for YHWH To Return..... They took off the rest of

their JEWELRY brought out from EGYPT.......STRIPPING IT OFF OF THEMSELVES

;AS TAKING OFF THE OLD MAN,REMOVING THE ITEMS OF THE

PAST,ALLOWING THE WATER BAPTISM TO WASH CLEAN THEIR HEARTS !

THEN THEY SET CAMP AT THE FOOT OF MOUNT HOREB * MEANING :Parch,

Drought,Dry Up, Make Desolate, SLAY, A Cutting Instrument ,knif or

dagger,Sword..... ( same as Flaming Sword At The Garden & The same tool

used to cut GOLIATH'S HEAD OFF.) THESE SWORDS ARE USED TO SAFEGUARD

& BRING JUDGMENT... AN Act of Counting by Weights & Measures....SELAH !

A SWORD is used to kill or slay as a weapon of HIS JUDGMENT,therefore it

Could NOT BE USED As a Chisel or hewing STONE FOT HIS ALTAR...IT would be

as polluted then, not FOR BRINGING LIFE ... SO HERE IS

ISRAEL...WAITING....FOR BLESSING OR ONCE AGAIN CORRECTION ! OR BOTH

IN SEASON .

THERE WAS A TABERNACLE AT THIS CAMP SITE...BUT NOT THE IN-VISIONED

OR BLUE-PRINTED ONE OF HEAVENS ON EARTH....! THIS WAS A PERSONAL

TENT OF MEETING WHERE MOSES DID MEET WIT YHWH.......ALL THAT WAS

KNOWN WAS THEIR FACE TO FACE TALKS , WITHOUT Lampstand , Shewbread,

Incense Table or ARK & MERCY SEAT ;Only HE, YHWH, WAS ALL THESE ITEMS

& MORE . Moses had asked Israel to come close & Know the IAM IAM Within

his own TENT ... He Called it The Tabernacle of The Congregation Outside the

Camp....A Shadow of The One To COME . Every Time Moses Went To Meet

With IAM IAM ;ALL ISRAEL Would Stand & Watch As He Went Into The TENT,

There Was ALWAYS A CLOUDY PILLAR That Descended AT THE DOOR

WAY.......The Nation of Israel Only worshiped At Their OWN TENT DOOR !

ONLY ONE JOINED MOSES IN THAT TENT ; A Young Man ,JOSHUA The Son of

Nun...He Would Stay without Departing much... LEARNING & LISTENING To

the Weights and the Measures OF ANOTHER MANNA FOR LIFE !!! SELAH !

THIS IS TO BE OUR WAY , IN HIS PRESENCE AT HIS FEET,BECOMING N E W .

MOSES WAS ALWAYS GROWING.......JOSHUA WAS ALWAYS THERE IN SPIRIT

& TRUTH AS WELL ! MOSES SPEAKS TO IAM , IF I ,have found Grace in your

sight Show Me More...I Want to know you Closer; AND THAT THIS NATION IS

YOURS ,YOUR PEOPLE . THIS SHOULD BE OUR PRAYER ,THIS SHOULD BE

EVERY NATIONS PRAYER,TO KNOW THE CREATOR OF ALL HEAVEN & ALL

EARTH,INSTEAD OF FALSE Political messiah's OF DEATH & DESTRUCTION .

IAM SAID, MY PRESENCE SHALL GO WITH YOU & I WILL GIVE YOU REST .

MOSES SAYS , IF YOUR PRESENCE GOES NOT WITH ME ,CARRY US NOT UP ...

THATS HOW ALL WILL KNOW YOU ARE WITH US ,YOUR ISRAEL, SEPERATE US

FROM THE OTHERS THAT ARE UPON THIS EARTH ! IAM SAYS BACK I WILL DO

THIS FOR YOU HAVE FOUND GRACE IN MY SIGHT ,I KNOW YOU MOSES, BY

NAME , COME . OH IF WE TODAY WOULD BE SO SURE OF OUR FAITH, OUR

PERSONAL INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH YEHOVAH - YESHUA , WE COULD

MOVE MOUNTAINS & NATIONS ,WITH OUR PRAYERS. IAM used one word

over & over Grace.......This GRACE is very much different of our Tongue of

Today, its ROOT System is connected to & With Mercy...Granted To USWARD

to Find the PLACE WITHIN our Spirit & Soul To Know TRUTH IN ,BY ,THROUGH

A Lifestyle of WORSHIP & PRAISE ; we are given an Ex tension through

Forgiveness To INTER IN TO WORSHIP & PRAISE OF THE YHWH........YESHUA /

SALVATION . This is Not A Cheap Grace As Spoken BY TODAYS Tongue !

MOSES SAYS...I BESEECH YOU O ADONAI , SHOW ME YOUR GLORY, I PRAY !

WOW ! TALK ABOUT GETTING PERSONAL,& CLOSE UP.......TO KNOW AS FACE

TO FACE ,SEEING BEYOND THE CLOUDS INTO HEAVEN ,NOT BY DREAMS &

VISIONS,BEYOND THE REALMS OF OUR LIMITED BEING !!! YHWH SAYS YOU

CAN NOT SEE MY GLORY AS FACE TO FACE & LIVE ! BEHOLD ,THERE IS A PLACE

I WILL ALLOW YOU TO STAND BY ME AND SEE THE BACK SIDE OF MY BEING .

STAND UPON (AS IN )A ROCK , IT SHALL COME TO PASS (a prophetic word of

truth...AS APPOINTED TIMES)AS I AM PASSES; YOU WILL

SEE & KNOW MY GLORY , FROM THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK WHERE I PLACE

YOU....... BUT REMEMBER MY FACE SHALL NOT BE SEEN (IN THE NOW) THIS

COVERS SEVERAL APPOINTED TIMES OF WEIGHTS & MEASURES ........ see, IT

IS WRITTEN : THE GLORY OF THE FATHER IS THE SON. & ON THE MOUNT OF

TRANSFIGURATION MOSES WAS THERE WITH CHRIST & ELIJAH ...MOSES SAW

THE BACKSIDE OF YEHOVAH,HE SAW YESHUA ; THE FULLY GOD & FULLY MAN.

MOSES SAY THE PROPHET TO COME ,THAT ISRAEL SHOULD HEAR &

OBEY...THE COVENANT SPOKEN IN THE SPIRIT OF THE BETROTHAL & THE

WEDDING TO COME ; NOT ONLY THE PROPHET ,BUT A HIGH PRIEST THAT

ENTERS IN ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME BRINGING THE LIVING BLOOD OF

ATONEMENT , HE TO IS THAT STAFF THAT DID BUD, AND IS THE ARK & THE

TRUE MERCY SEAT WITH LIVING BLOOD SPRINKLED UPON;EVEN HIS OWN. HE

TOO IS THE TRUE SON OF KING DAVID,WHO'S KINGDOM WILL NEVER PASS

AWAY... MOSES SAW MORE THAN HIS MIND COULD HAVE KNOWN .......YES

MOSES DID SEE FACE TO FACE !!!

BEYOND SHAVUOT /PENTECOST.......(MORE THAN GIFTS )

PART 3 -5 : BY JOSHUA REE

THE STONE TABLES ARE RENEWED ; EXODUS 34 ;MOSES WAS

TOLD BY THE LORD OF ALL,TO HEW TWO NEW STONES AS ONTO

THE FIRST ; I WILL WRITE UPON THESE THE SAME WORDS AS I

WROTE BEFORE.......THE ONES YOU THREW DOWN & BROKE

,MOSES ! IN THE MORNING COME UP MOUNT SINIAI,& PRESENT

THYSELF IN THE TOP OF THE MOUNT AGAIN . NO MAN WITH YOU

COMES, NO MAN OR BEAST TOUCH THE MOUNT ! THIS MOSES DID

,AS INSTRUCTED THE LORD DESCENDED IN THE CLOUD ,& STOOD

WITH MOSES THERE, PROCLAIMING THE NAME OF THE LORD

YHWH,THE IAM IAM...,SAYING,THE ADONAI,THE LORD GOD .

MERCIFUL & FULL OF GRACE ,LONG-SUFFRRING ,ABUNDANT IN

RIGHTEOUSNESS & TRUTH,KEEPING MERCY FOR THOUSANDS

,FORGIVING INIQUITY& TRANSGRESSION & SIN & THAT WILL BY

NO MEANS CLEAR THE GUILTY ;VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE

FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN ,& UPON THE CHILDRENS

CHILDREN,UNTO THE 3RD & 4TH GENERATION. MOSES MADE

HASTE AND BOWED HIS HEAD TOWARD THE EARTH, &

WORSHIPED.

MOSES SAID IF I HAVE FOUND FAVOR AS GRACE IN THY SIGHT ,O

LORD, LET MY LORD ,I PRAY THEE,GO AMONG US .......AND TAKE US

AS FOR YOUR INHERITANCE (YOUR WIFE ) THE ANSWER.......I DO ,I

WILL.....I MAKE COVENANT ;BEFORE YOU ALL,SUCH AS HAS NEVER

BEEN I WILL DO MARVELS BEFOR YOU AND ALL NATIONS ...!!!

MAKE NO GODS BEFORE YOU, NO OTHER COVENANTS,IN THE

LAND THAT I GIVE YOU..... WORSHIP NO OTHER god, FOR IAM

YOURS & YOU ARE MINE.......MY NAME IS JEALOUS FOR IAM A

JEALOUS ELOHIM . MAKE NO COVENANTS WITH THE

INHABITANTS OG THE LAND....DONT GO WHORING AFTER OTHER

gods & DO NO SACRIFICE UNTO gODS LET NO ONE LEAD YOU TO

EAT OF THEIR SACRIFICES & TAKE NONE OF THEIR SONS OR

DAUGHTERS INTO YOUR FAMILIES...

WHEN MOSES CAME DOWN THE MOUNT SINAI THIS TIME ,THERE

WAS SHALOM IN THE CAMP , AND WONDER AS MOSES ' FACE DID

SHINE AS GLORY OF THE LORD WAS WITH HIM . THIS TIME THE

PEOPLE STOOD IN AWE OF THE SHALOM OF YHWH & THAT OF

MOSES ,AS THEY TALKED OF THE PROPHETIC APPOINTED TIMES

AS GREAT GIFTS OF BETROTHAL THEY HAD BEEN GIVEN . THE

COURTSHIP WAS BEGUN.......NOW THE RELATIONSHIP MUST

BECOME ALIVE & RESPECTFUL ....... LETS WALK !!! SELAH .

BEYOND PENTECOST (MORE THAN GIFTS) PART 4

NOW LETS LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURES THAT WE ALL SEEM TO

KNOW BEST ,FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS. IT WILL MAKE MORE

SENSE NOW AS WE HAVE REVIEWED THE PAST . FROM THE TIME

OF ADAM IT WAS ALWAYS A COURTSHIP BETWEEN ELOHIM & HIS

CREATION.......HIS FOOTSTOOL,AND WHAT IT WAS TO BE BETWEEN

HIMSELF & EARTH, A LITTLE LOWER THAN HEAVEN & ANGLES !

IT has always been about a wedding,A WEDDING Beyond all that can be

imagined . Throughout the Books & passages of scripture Comes a Life

Beyond This Flesh,however it starts WITHIN, Before the FALLEN FLESH &

SOUL of mankind ! Do We UNDERstand ?

CHRIST SAID to the question; was HE about TO RESTORE Again The

Kingdom TO ISRAEL;IT IS NOT FOR YOU KNOW...the Times & Seasons

which the Father has Put In HIS Power. WAIT for The Promise of The

Father,which you heard from ME. John Baptized with Water of

Repentance,but you shall be Baptized with THE HOLY BREATH / SPIRIT

not many days from now...The WAIT as the ISRAEL coming out of EGYPT

When MOSES Went Up MOUNT SINAI ! CHRIST GIVES more information

...You shall receive POWER,after that HOLY BREATH COMES Upon You

...you shall Give Witness of ME In JERUSALEM,all JUDEA,&

SAMARIA,then to the uttermost part of the EARTH... Then as HE finished

talking to them HE was Taken Up;& a Cloud Received HIM .WE Today must

remember HE returns in like manner as when HE was Received INTO

HEAVEN.......A SPIRIT MAN !

LETS RETURN TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN , to understand

something.......before the Falling Away THERE WAS A SUPERNATURAL

COVERING OVER ADAM, THIS DIVINE COVERING WAS SPIRIT.BOTH

INWARD The Breath of Life & OUTWARD The Divine Covering (As A Hem

of a Priestly Robe) Remember WHEN THE ISH & ISHA Became

DISOBEDIENT TO THE COMMAND of Not Eating of The Tree,Their eyes

became different , OPENED to the EVIL......they knew they were Naked...With

out The Divine Covering (AS A CLOUD of Light ) SELAH !

THIS IS BRINGS US TO UNDERSTAND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE WE

DO NOT KNOW BECAUSE OF LACK OF STUDY & GETTING INTO THE

SPIRIT WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN TEACH US....AS CHRIST

SAID; ALL THINGS !!! ITS All about A Great Relationship An INTIMATE

RELATIONSHIP ,Where HEAVEN & EARTH Marry & BECOME ONE !!!

When ADAM Man said NO as such , EVE was given ,She said NO as well,

The gifts given were to form anew CREATION ,HEAVEN ON EARTH as

being ONE ...Being ONE...as HUSBAND & ......!!! Do We See ,its by the

SPIRIT !?

EVERY THING GOD GAVE TO ADAM ,WAS BETROTHAL GIFTS ;A

DOWRY FOR THE FUTURE . UNTIL REJECTION COMES IN ITS Many

Forms .* We will not Count The Ways ! Let us Look at an EXAMPLE for

clarity on this and the above statements.

EZEKIEL 16 *( IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS CHAPTER

YOU WILL GLEAN RICHLY ) ,However we will point out just a few;vs6 &

Following ...When I passed by you , I saw you polluted in thine own blood

(The fallen state : Pride ,Self-Will,Desire,Lust of Eyes & Flesh,Idol

Worship,Adultery,Lack of Discernment, Understanding,and an Unteachable

Spirit ),TO NAME A FEW Critical charges to life. However I said LIVE

...Live , Live....Your Time to Live & Love was now,I Spread MY Skirt Over

You Covering Your Nakedness,I did Sware Unto you & entered Into A

Covenant for you to be Mine ....I washed You .Anointed You With OIL I

Clothed You in fine Fashion .You Were Decked in Much Fine Raiment To

Behold Your Food was Rip & Delicious ...your prosperity would have been

MY KINGDOM ,Your renown went forth among the deceitful for your beauty;

it was Perfect Through MY Comeliness,which I had put upon you,said the

LORD GOD . But You did trust in Yourself As Beauty AND PLAYED The

HARLOT ......You Forgot ALL THAT HAD BEEN GIVEN YOU In Such A

Short Time ......You Built your own faithfulness as a Whore with An Eminent

high Place at every Street , far away FROM MY GARDEN CALLED EDEN !

Yet The Two Adams ;ISH & ISHA,DIED When They SOLD The Soil They

Owned For The Price of A LIE ,within the 6TH DAY, BANISHED FROM

REST !

THE SAME THING IS RECORDED IN THE ISRAEL COMING OUT OF

EGYPT,THEY TOO WANTED MORE FOR THEMSELVES THAN WHAT

WAS BEING GIVEN FROM YHWH THROUGH MOSES . They also Played

The Harlot ,The Whore,for A Golden Calf & Altar ,not giving Their Lives to

The Betrothal or MARRIAGE COVENANT Written in STONE By The FIRE

FINGER of GOD...... MOSES BROKE THE STONES to REMOVE THE

COVENANT that would have brought DEATH TO ALL.

NOT SO WITH CHRIST.......

CHRIST SPOKE BEYOND A GARDEN, BEYOND A VINEYARD,BEYOND

THE TENT OF MEETING,BEYOND THE TABERNACLE DESIGN OF

EARTH,BEYOND THAT OF HEAVENS BUILD, BEYOND THE CITY OF

BREAD And ALL HE VISITED, BEYOND JUDEA ,BEYOND JERUSALEM

;HE SPOKE OF THE FULLNESS OF THEM ALL AND MORE.......HE

SPOKE BEYOND THE CLOUDS OF OUR SKY DEEP INTO THE

HEAVENS ABOVE THE FIRMAMENT OF SKY & SEA EVEN EARTH

ITSELF.......HE SPOKE OF A NEW JERUSALEM,AND ITS

CORNERSTONE BUILT IN EACH ONES LIFE THAT SURRENDERS TO

HIS LORDSHIP BEYOND THE VEIL OF FLESH.......!!!

PENTECOST HAD COME,50 DAYS ,SEVEN WEEKS OF SABBATHS

PLUS ONE DAY,THE COUNTING OF THE OMER WAS NOW BRINGING

FORTH A PEOPLE ; A REMNANT THAT WHERE READY TO EXCEPT

THE COVENANT OF MARRIAGE. NO GARDEN, NO TWO MOUNTS

SINAI OR HOREB.......BUT THE MOUNT OF MANS WILL DEEP

WITHIN HIS BEING... A VERY LARGE PLACE WITH MANY Wells of

Will,Idols of different gods including Self,Gifts of Devils & Demons,Places &

Things, Gold & Silver,Harlots & False Prophets,Controlled By Power Hungry

Would Be Kings & Princes,Queens &Monsters...... ALL DESTROYED BY

GOD'S TRUE LOVE & SALVATION! Spoken of in Prophetic Words ,Psalms

&Teachings of Truth IN VESSELS OF CLAY Called Flesh : RE-BORN OF

SPIRIT . AMEN !

WHEN PENTECOST was fully come, All that obeyed The Command of Love

& excepted the COVENANT OF MARRIAGE ,THEIR DOWRY OF GIFTS

CAME SUDDENLY.......A Rushing Mighty Wind / Breath FILLING THE

HOUSE OF 120 ROOMS.WITH the Appearance of Cloven Tongues of Fire

on the Foundation where They sat.FILLING THEM With The HOLY

BREATH OF GOD, GIFTING Them All with Tongues of Languages not

their own, as The SPIRIT gave utterance...WOW,talking to many people

groups of many nations at Once,so that ALL COULD HEAR THE TRUTH

OF HEAVEN,AS THE LAMB had given .HOW Grand was this restoration ?

When in History's past The Giving Of TONGUES was A WEAPON OF WAR

to Divide the Fallen Men From Building Their Own Kingdom To Rival

HEAVEN,As A Tower Called BABEL......(* Much Like The Coming NEW /

ONE WORLD ORDER)

YES THERE WAS MOCKING of those that Spoke of Heavens GLORY this

day in JERUSALEM,From The ones There Playing Religion, not

UNDERSTANDING TORAH AS LIVING SALVATION GIVEN ! Do we ?

PETER TOOK CENTER and explained the gifts of YEHOVAH'S

Giving,proclaiming WORDS From The Prophet JOEL & his writings..."IN

THE LAST OF DAYS IT SHALL COME TO PASS,Says GOD, I WILL

POUR Out MY SPIRIT -BREATH UPON ALL FLESH ( THAT WILL

BELIEVE MY WORDS ):& son & daughters Shall PROPHESY,Young Men

will See Visions ,Old Men Will Dream Dreams: & on MY Servants &

Handmaidens I Will Pour Out In those Days of MY SPIRIT - BREATH &

They shall Prophesy : & I will Show WONDERS IN HEAVEN ABOVE,&

SIGNS In The Earth Beneath; Blood, Fire & Vapor of Smoke.......It Shall

Come To Pass,That WHOSOEVER Shall Call On The Name of The

ADONAI,Shall Be UNTO SALVATION as their Heart Speaks Truthfully !

Peter spoke of many great & mighty WORDS WRITTEN IN THE PAST

THAT HAD NOW COME TRUE because of Surrendered Hearts...wanting

TO BE PART OF THE GREAT WEDDING OF TRUE ISRAEL...IN THE

HOLY OF ALL THAT IS HOLY;SPIRIT BIRTHED ISRAEL !!!

FOR THE PROMISE IS UNTO YOU & your children,& All that are Afar

off,Even As Many as The Lord Our GOD Shall CALL TO HIMSELF. COME

INTO THE WATERS OF REPENTANCE SEEKING THE BIRTH OF THE

SPIRIT...A NEW LIFE BEYOND THE GIFTS OF BETROTHAL; THERE

IS A DAILY COUNTING OF HIS PRESENCE & HIS GLORY IN THE

HOLY HOLY PLACE OF HIS SPIRIT.......FROM THE WATERS EDGE

,UNTO THE DEEP WATERS OF THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH;

WISDOM,INSIGHT, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING .......IN THE

SECRET PLACE OF ABIDING ; PRAYER IS COMMUNION TALKING

FACE AS UNTO FACE.......THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS SENT TO TEACH US

ALL THINGS IN THE FATHERS HOUSE THAT MANKIND CAN NOT

TEACH ! LIKE ENOCH THE 7TH FROM ADAM.......NOT ONLY DID HE

Find The RESTING PLACE, He Became The First High Priest of the Earth .

THE TRUE GIFTS ARE FOR THE BRIDE , THEY are not for Playing With

Or Personal Gain. REMEMBER EGYPT'S Sorcerers & Magicians worked

Enchantments As The Serpent in The Garden; Bless The IAM IAM,when

AARON Threw Down His Rod AND IT Turned to a Serpent , So did

Pharaoh's Camp...ONLY AARON'S ROD Swallowed up the others... Just like

There is Much FOOL'S GOLD & Other Tricks of DARKNESS Stealing Lives

TODAY......The GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT Must Be Based In THE LORD'S

LOVE / HESED . Lovers of Self Will not BE AT THE WEDDING only at The

Weeding......SHALOM !!! WITH OUT LOVE ALL GIFTS ARE FALSE ones

!

# 5 PENTECOST...........THE GIFTS (OF BETROTHAL.......AND MORE)

WE HAVE LOOKED AT MUCH OF WHAT SHAVUOT / PENTECOST IS,

FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO THE FIRST ONE AFTER CHRIST 'S

ASCENSION.......LOOK WHAT ADAM & EVE MISSED OUT ON.......AS

THEY TURNED ASIDE THE MARRIAGE COVENANT; AND THE NEW

NATION OF ISRAEL LEAVING EGYPT. ...IN ALL THAT WE HAVE

SEEN THE GROUP OF ABOUT 120 IN THE UPPER ROOM WHO

RECEIVED THE GIFTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,THEY WALKED IN

THIS GIFTING THE GREATEST ! WOW ! THAT SAYS VERY MUCH TO

US IN THIS PRESENT DAY,DOES IT NOT ? THAT MANY

GENERATIONS & YEARS BEFORE THE PEOPLE OTHER THAN A

FEW THAT BECAME PROPHETS ,some PRIESTS & A FEW TRUE

KINGS, AT TIMES KNEW THE BREATH OF THE SPIRIT WHEN

PRESENT . SELAH !

May I Pose A Question,Please ??? W H A T H A S H A P P E N E D ?

PONDER THIS QUESTION AS YOU READ ON

FORWARD........................................THANK YOU !

AS WE READ THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES FROM GENESIS

ON.......THERE IS ONE MAIN POINT TO THE FULLNESS OF THE

STORY OF TRUTH .......ITS ABOUT A WEDDING , ARE WE AGREED ?

ITS ABOUT TWO BECOMING ONE : MARRIAGE ;THE FULLNESS IS

BETWEEN HEAVEN & EARTH .

WE saw how Adam fell,and then Eve,it has become so classic & so very SAD .

However ELOHIM has the ability to overcome these Hurts &

Disappointments and carry on .What else is the Creator of ALL THINGS IN

HEAVEN & EARTH To Do ? There is Love !

IN THE Lives of Abraham , Isaac ,& Jacob / Israel ,there are many great

story lines to be seen & understood that speak of these actions . One of the

strongest is that of ISAAC & REBEKAH. Herein we see the unfolding of a

picture of A Father & Son A great servant as the HOLY SPIRIT going to seek

out & find the wife for this SON.......The Would Be Wife excepted The

Proposal , Not seeing The Husband To Be,there a lone they had something

very special going on between the TWO of Them. ONLY What they did hear of

Each Other by The Spirit,therefore A Great Act of FAITH . (See Genesis 24

All)

Another important story in scripture is in EZEKIEL 16 , which relates our

Father Yehovah looking for the wife that once said yes then turned away...as

the Nation of ISRAEL has done often.......as many people groups & Nations

do . Like ours as well.

THEN THERE is HOSEA,now this truly teaches the HESED / LOVE that

YEHOVAH has for ISRAEL & ALL NATIONS being the Entire Formed

BRIDE . This Prophet's life is a powerful story of Forgiveness beyond the

human nature of man.TO be a Sign & Wonder to ISRAEL & Then to All The

Called Out Ones To HIMSELF (YHWH) HOSEA is instructed to Marry a

known Harlot . She leaves The Prophet like each paid customer in

Sin.HOSEA must purchase her back from an auction stand, much like Todays

Church that at large is an HARLOT . Many of us have been there in one form

or another......have we not ?

YET there are more great reads that show over and over this HEART OF

OUR FATHER & HIS SON Toward us becoming this multi mixed Wife ! A

few I would Like to mention as great personal STUDY over & over. the book

of Ruth who followed Naomi & became a great member of the body of the

land of Israel through one man Boaz... she was Grafted In,by a wedding

herself ! Then the next 2, I list will be the two greatest END TIME

PROPHETIC PORTIONS of the days We Now Live ! 1) SONG OF

SOLOMON ...Please do yourself a Larger Than Large Favor ,with this one

;READ & STUDY ,take your time study each word look them up ,it comes to

life !! THIS one alone teaches the intimacy relationship of worship & praise

between the betrothed couple,within their courtship as becoming ONE without

exceeding their covenant agreement . INTERCOURSE OF WORDS

,PRAYERS AND LIFE OF SPIRIT UNION CONTINUES TO GROW

BRINGING THE HOUSE IN ONE ACCORD ;KNOWING EACH OTHER

IN LIKE NATURE OF PRAYER & WORSHIP ,EVEN INTERCESSION

BEFORE THE EXPERIENCE OF CONSUMMATION ! 2) ESTHER /

HADASSAH : THE HEBREW BRIDE THAT BROUGHT SALVATION TO

AN UNRULY KING & ISRAEL . BESIDES AN INTERESTING

COURTSHIP OF INTERFAITH INTERFUSE ,THERE IS AN

UNDERLINING MYSTERY OR MORE . BUT the preparation processes of

the evening meeting is as BEAUTIFUL AS THE COURTSHIP IN "SONG"!

WHEN THESE TWO ARE FUSED TOGETHER THERE IS AN

INTERESTING COMPREHENSION OF THE MARRIAGE COVENANT

THAT CAN BE BETWEEN HEAVEN & EARTH , ISRAEL & GENTILES;

SELAH !

WE COULD GO ON with parts of many of the Books Of the Bible ,but in this

study we will not .HOWEVER we must continue in to the New Testament,with

Yeshua / Jesus ,The Husband & The Betrothed Bride as all Spirit Formed

ISRAEL ,HEBREW / JEW & GENTILE AS ONE Woman.... YESHUA as

THE PROPHET MOSES spoke of is also The HIGH PRIEST & The KING.

John The Baptizer knew this to be true Read John 3 :29 saying, " He who has

the Bride is the Bridegroom.."

YESHUA SEEKS THE BRIDE OF BOTH HOUSES ;The Hebrew / Jew &

The Gentiles of The Nations,to form ONE COMPLETE Being HIS

BETROTHED BRIDE,That HE & OUR FATHER has been looking for,to

bring Heaven & Earth together as ONE ! SHE is to be SPOTLESS, By HIS

Mercy,Grace, Forgiveness & Blessings; Working Together Becoming The

ONE as 2 Becoming ONE ! SHE is Loving in HIS Hesed... SHE Is HOLY As

HE Is HOLY... SHE Is A REMNANT OR SMALL PORTION Of Each

GENERATION from DAY 6TH Untill THE LAST DAY !

The Word Church is the wrong Word To USE AS THE WIFE OF

CHRIST;SHE IS SO MUCH MORE ,WE MUST COME TOGETHER AS

ONE BODY ONE WIFE ONE FAITH *(HIS FAITH) ONE TRUTH,ONE

PRAISE,ONE WORSHIP,ONE GLORY.......THAT OF HIS...We Inter IN BY

BEING IN HIM FLAMES WITHIN THE FIRE OF HIS PRESENCE ! AS

HE is jealous for us we are jealous for HIM ,by being JEALOUS FOR EACH

OTHER IN HIS TRUTH .WOW !Therefore the FORESKIN of Our

Individual & Cooperate HEART Needs to be CIRCUMCISED *(This from

each Generation unto the End ) SEE 2Corinthians 11 : 2 For I AM

JEALOUS Over You with Godly Jealousy : FOR I have Espoused You To

ONE HUSBAND,That I May Present You As A Chaste Virgin To CHRIST .

AND THESE Words,from REVELATION 19 :7-9;Let us be Glade &

Rejoice,& Give Honor To HIM: For The Marriage Of The Lamb Is Come,&

HIS Wife Has Made Ready Herself . And To HER Was Granted That She

Should Be Arrayed IN FINE LINEN,Clean & White : For The FINE LINEN

Is The RIGHTEOUSNESS Of The SAINTS.......BLESSED Are They Who Are

Called To The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb . THESE ARE THEYWHO

FOLLOW THE LAMB WHEREVER HE GOES . REVELATION 14 :4 SEE

THIS STATEMENT ALONE SPEAKS of THE END TIME REMNANT

BRIDE .......The Last Standing ONES GIVE UP ALL That WAS Not Given

UP IN THE GARDEN of EDEN !!! DO WE SEE ??? ANOTHER STRONG

VERSE IS REV. 6 : 10-11,PLEASE READ THIS ON YOUR OWN its a verse

we all need to ponder & meditate on & in ! To Me ITS A Must For US ALL

IN The END OF DAYS !!!

Carnal minds hinder the Gifts of The SPIRIT because you MUST BE BORN

AGAIN.......These Gifts Are For The BETROTHAL , The Carnal Mans Mind

That Has Not Been /Being WASHED By THE SPIRIT Can Not Understand

The WORDS or ACTIONS Of The SPIRIT ,But Sets Himself For More

Entrapment by the forces of Deception ! IN CORINTHIANS you find the

Gifts Of The Spirit....We Will Not Go over Them herein,but make a statement .

WHEN we Look closely at THE LIFE OF CHRIST we see ALL these GIFTS

IN OPERATION ,Plus it Seems Even More , SELAH & THINK On These

Things , As the Husband Is So Shall The Bride / Wife be ( if ) They Are ONE .

Does Your Marriage Cooperate This Way ? HIS WILL ! SO WE MUST BE

OF HIS HEART,HIS MIND,BY HIS WORDS OF LIFE ...ONE ! THESE

GIFTS ARE GIVEN TO THE CHOSEN ," THE CALLED OUT ONES"

THE BRIDE OF WHEAT, You might say .SHE IS NOT A TARE,OR

CHAFF SHE IS PURE GOLDEN WHEAT !!! AS we are many parts we are

to be "AS ONE IN HIM" flowing in these BLESSINGS & GIFTS GIVEN !

THESE Gifts have a Double Portion To Them.....Gifts to Woo, The Bride to

Be as Betrothal Gifts To The Marriage Covenant & As A Dowry , This too is

for us To use With one Another to Heal ,Speak,Correct Bind as One in Christ

, The Gifts are not for Show & Tell & Personal Gain...Thats Witchcraft /

Rebellion! IT IS TO BUILD UP THE BODY AS ONE IN THE ONE ,HE IS .

And in so doing We BECOME Strong As HE IS STRONG ,not by power or

might But By HIS SPIRIT BREATH....GLORY IN HIM !!!

Then as We are Called To Go out In The Highways & Byways of The

World.......As THE SPIRIT LEADS We Extend The True Gifts To The Others

To Be WED ,without personal JEALOUSY , Because its HIS Will NOT

OURS.......ITS THE MOVEMENT OF HIS SPIRIT UPON US TO DO HIS

WILL & Extend The Family Of The BRIDE ...HIS LEADING HEALS THE

LOST & CALLS THEM IN TO HIMSELF Through US THAT OBEY...the

rest is Darkness speaking in lies or fooling us ! SELAH !

AND THERE IS MORE WE MUST SEEK AFTER TO

ACCOMPLISH.......WALKING IN HIS HESED LOVE AS BEYOND THIS

WORLD ! SHALOM !

"HE WHO IS OF GOD HEARS GOD‟S

WORDS” JOHN 8:47 NKJV

SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD FALL A FRESH UPON ME. MAY I LISTEN TO YOUR

VOICE SPEAK TO MY HEART LORD. HALLELUJAH!!

HALLELUJAH!!!HALLELUJAH!!!HALLELUJAH!!!!HALLELUJAH!!!GLORY TO

YOU MY GOD. SPEAK TO MY HEART LORD GOD.

WHY WOULD I ASK GOD TO SPEAK TO MY HEART? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I

CAN CONFIDE IN HIS WORD! I KNOW THAT WHEN GOD SPEAKS HE ALSO

PERFORMS WHAT HE SAID. THINK ABOUT IT DID NOT HE MAKE THE

HEAVENS AND EARTH, AND IT WAS BY HIS WORD THAT THEY CONTINUE AS

THEY ARE THIS DAY?

WHEN GOD SPEAKS IT IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN MAN‟S. SO MANY TIMES

MAN WILL TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO, BUT WHEN

HE HAS TALKED ABOUT IT, THERE IS AN END OF THE MATTER AS FAR HE IS

CONCERNED. MAN HAS SPOKEN, YET, YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE THAT WHAT

WITH THE TALKING TONGUE WILL GO THE WORKING HAND. IT HAS BEEN

SAID THAT HE WHO IS QUICK TO PROMISE IS NOT ALWAYS SO P0ROMPT TO

PERFORM.

THINK ABOUT IT! THERE ARE MANY PROVERBS THAT REMINDS US THAT MEN

MAKE LIGHT OF ONE ANOTHER‟S PROMISES, AND WELL THEY MAY; BUT WE

MUST NEVER MAKE LIGHT OF THE PROMISES OF GOD. "GOD SPOKE AND IT

WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED, AND IT STOOD FAST.” SO IF GOD HAS

PROMISED TO HELP YOU IN TIME OF TROUBLE OR TO PRESERVE YOU IN THE

HOUR OF TEMPATION OR TO DELIEVER YOU OUT OF A TRIAL OR TO GIVE YOU

GRACE ACCORDING TO YOUR DAY, THAT PROMSIE IS AS GOOD AS IF IT HAD

BEEN ALREADY PERFORMED, SINCE GOD‟S WORD SHALL CERTAINLY BE

FOLLOWED BY THE FULILLMENT OF IT IN DUE SEASON.

NUMBERS 23:19 (BBIE); GOD IS NOT A MAN TO SAY WHAT IS FALSE; OR THE

SON OF MAN, THAT HIS PURPOSE MAY BE CHANGED: WHAT HE HAS SAID,

WILL HE NOT GIVE EFFECT TO THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH?

ISAIAH 55:8, 9.11: (ESVB) SAYS FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOURS

THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, DELCARES 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…..SO SHALL

MY WORD BE THAT GOES OUT FROM MY MOUTH; IT SHALL NOT RETURN TO

ME EMPY, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PURPOSED, AND SHALL

SUCCEED IN THE THINGS FOR WHICH I SENT IT.

"THUS SAID THE LORD GOD.”

ARE YOU LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF GOD? HE WILL SPEAK THROUGH HIS

WORD AS WELL AS THROUGH HIS HOLY SPIRIT. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART,

WHAT IS IT TELLING YOU? CAN YOU HEAR THAT STILL SMALL VOICE WITHIN

SPEAKING TO YOU? I CAN AND COMFIRMS IT THROUGH HIS WORD. AMEN.

“Cry out and Receive Your Sight” BY JEFF

GODSOWN

Mar 10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry

out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Mar 10:48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried

the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Mar 10:49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they

call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

Mar 10:50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

Mar 10:51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I

should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive

my sight.

Mar 10:52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee

whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

What do we teach in church today? Do we hear; God will do this for you

and God will do that for you, but do we ever hear, make your request known,

cry out to the Lord? Jam 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among

you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

Jam 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain:

ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Jam 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume

it upon your lusts.

Jam 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the

world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is

the enemy of God.

Get real, be real, stay real, but do it God‟s way, God set forth rules to guide us

properly in our requests. We struggle and war against our own flesh, trying

desperately and wanting desperately to do things God‟s way, and still there is

the struggle. What if the struggle is there because we‟re not learning the right

way, what if the teachings we receive are halfway in their approach, like that

of satan to Eve? What if the desire and request of our heart would be to have

our eyes opened spiritually to the things of God, would we still have as strong

a desire for the things of the world? Mar 10:50 And he, casting away his

garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

What if the request and desire of our hearts brought a to a place where we ,too

will cast off our garments? What if the garments we wear are such things as:

pity, religiosity, pride, jealousy, unfit anger, ignorance, self righteousness,

haughtiness, self reliance, unforgiveness, gloating, and or so on and so on?

What would happen if we just died to the garment of self and stood in faith,

confidence that God would open our eyes to see greater things? God is

amazing, and He is there to help us through every situation, to take our hand

and lead us. God is looking for those who will do just that, now keep in mind,

this is not a party, but it is a journey and one worth taking, following through,

and finishing as the head and not the tail.

The church was and still is called to be the head, the leader, the living

example of the character and nature of our perfect God, our creator, our

redeemer, so why aren‟t we? Have we forgotten to take off our garments and

allow Jesus to cloth us in His robe of righteousness? There is a choice to be

made, whom will you serve, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

What do you choose, think real hard on this, because God will hold you to

your choice, life can get tough if you don‟t walk it, but think on that as well,

it‟s always a good thing!

I want each of you to be blessed more abundantly with His abundant life than

you could ever hope for. Come to know God the Father like you‟ve never

known Him before, as a real Father. God is not just some entity out there

where you think He can‟t be touched. God is waiting, waiting to show you His

love, His mercy, and His grace, that you will carry it into the world and finally

the church can lead the world. Then see the power of God as He changes

through you, the ones called to do greater things, this world. Fall into His

ways and give His love and see the efforts of satan crumble quickly. God bless

each of you as you go forward, cry out to Him and see that He is true to His

Word!!!

Romans chapter 8 verse 2 : by Kenneth

White

"For the Law of the Spirit of Life(which is) in Christ Jesus(the law of our new

being) has freed me from the law of sin and death."--Rom. Ch. vs.2...AMP.---

The Book of Romans was written to the Christians in Rome about 57 A.D. It

was written to encourage those who were genuine Christians that the Life of

Christ within them is a process to remove all the effects of the curse mankind

received when Adam fell in the beginning. The Law was given later to describe

what sin is. There was no sin of adultery before the law as I understand it.

"Thou shalt not commit adultery" was the commandment from God.God

described it and said don`t do it. The same with all the other Commandments.

The Law was from God and was designed to reveal the sin in man. The Law

was not intended to save man from his sin.That would come later with Jesus

coming to earth to take away the "sin nature". This life of Christ can only be

experienced by the Christian with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit was given on the

Day of Pentecost and continues down to this day for those who are predestined

and then to all of humanity. It is the Spirit which gives life. It is the Spirit

working in us daily to free us from the hold of Adam and the carnal mind. It is

the Spirit which is daily taking us to higher ground in God and setting us free

from the confines of all that is earthly. There are those who will take this

scripture and turn it around and proclaim since we are free from the law of

sin and death then there is no more sin in their lives.I know some on FB who

declare this but their lifestyle annuls any claims they have of eternal life

already at work in them.Since they are free they live scandalous lifestyles not

heeding the scripture which says "they turn the Grace of God into

lasciviousness" . You will always have them around. They are lawless! Those

who are pressing on into son ship realize the cost of laying down their lives

and taking up their cross and following Christ.They know their calling and

they are paying heed to the words of God and the dealings of God in their lives

to remove every last remains of Adam from our being. We were born under a

curse and we die when we are born again of the Spirit and the washing of the

water of the Word. The combination of the two will start the regeneration

process within us which may take a short time in some and a lifetime in

others.However be sure of this one thing: The Spirit isn`t given to just make

you feel good and speak in tongues: this is the earnest or "down payment' of

the Spirit which means as you progress in God and leaving the flesh behind

you enter into more of your inheritance in God. What a great future for those

who are truly being born?

Concerned; But Not Consumed BY Ron

Sanders

Police Department, Homicide Detective Sergeant, Ron Sanders, was riding

high on a series of successful murder confessions, murder warrants and

convictions--one case in particular was a serial killer of eleven (11) women the

killer had caused great trepidation in the lives of Detroit and Highland Park

residents. Ron was tough, admired and respected throughout the department

and his community. Everything was going well for him, and getting better

each day. Promoted several times during his career, he was in the prime of his

life and at the top of his game. Ron was rising from local notoriety to national

fame. He was well on his way to leaving behind the local scene and heading to

Hollywood. He had signed a six figure movie contract, for the rights to his

police career. He had even opted to have "DENZEL WASHINGTON" to play

his role in the prospective movie. Imagine that! But, everything came to a

crashing halt. The fame, fortune and accolades disappeared in an instant.

Detective Sergeant Sanders went from cracking cases, to picking up the pieces

of his broken life overnight. .

In CONCERNED. BUT NOT CONSUMED, Ron. Sanders shares his

victorious journey of rebuilding his life after a severe and devastating stroke.

A condition that would change his life as he once knew it, forever. Ron shares

how God used the challenges he faced to take his life to a new level — ln Him.

Ron moved from isolation, hopelessness and depression —in the wake of the

debilitating stroke — to finding love, peace, joy and abundant life. .

It is Ron's sincere prayer and desire to acknowledge the Lord in all we do. His

book teaches us that it is okay to be concerned with our well being, but not

consumed by world. Ron shows you how to appreciate God in the little things

and not take for granted the everyday blessings of Life.

IN HIS OWN WORDS:

MISSION POSSIBLE

The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the

Lord Jesus gave me. Acts 20:24 (NCV)

For many years I have wondered what is my life‟s mission, as it relates to this

worldly life. I am a retired Detroit Police Officer. My last job in the Police

Department was a homicide detective sergeant. I retired in 1993 after 23 years

of service with the department, because of a stroke. The normal retirement

service time is 25 years, but the stroke cut short my police career. The stroke

left me with an intelligible speech impediment. The stroke also affected my

ability to walk. The speech impediment, along with use of a walker to get

around, left me with the thought that my world life‟s mission was over.

In August of 2004, a friend told me to listen to message on the internet a

spiritual and inspirational audio cassette tape, and told me to listen to it. I

listened to the tape and learned that the speaker had a disability, along with a

speech impediment more pronounced than mine. Even with his speech

impairment, this speaker was able to speak to hundreds of people a year,

telling them about the "Good News, of Jesus!”

Because, of this inspirational speaker who overcame his physical challenges,

and the above scripture, I have found a new and more meaningful mission for

my life. That mission is for me to spread the "Good News, of Jesus.” For my

Christian journey and mission, I have written, published and released the

book titled "CONCERNED BUT NOT CONSUMED”

(http://www.concernednotconsumed.com). I have launched a speaking

ministry, giving inspiration, spiritual hope and motivation in my presentations

to various groups. These groups include not only church and hospital

audiences, but secular audiences as well. I have made inspirational, spiritual

and motivational presentations to stroke survivors in hospitals and churches.

Also, at the same time I am given the opportunity to spread the "Good News of

Jesus.” I think, even with the speech impediment, I have discovered that I can

complete my new mission in life that GOD has given me.

Prayer: Lord, please help and assist me to complete the mission that You have

given me. Amen.

Thought for the Day

Despite „any‟ disability or handicap, ‟anyone‟ can complete GOD‟S mission.

IMMANUEL BY CATHERIN SKINNER

I HAVE EXALTED ONE CHOSEN OUT OF THE

PEOPLE. (PSALM 89:19 KJV)

WHY WAS CHRIST CHOSEN OUT OF THE PEOPLE? SPEAK, MY HEART, FOR

KNOW MY/OUR WANTS BECAUSE HE HAD ENDURED THE PAIN, TEMPATION,

DISAPPOINTMENTS, WEAKNESS, WEARINESS, EVEN POVERTY HE KNOWS

THEM ALL YET HE SINNED NOT. OUT OF ALL PEOPLE, HE WOULD BE THE

ONE I CALL UPON IN TIME OF NEED, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MY BROTHER

CAN SYMPATHIZE WITH ME WITHOUT JUDGING ME. BUT WOULD HEAL MY

WOUNDS AND CLEANS MY HEART AND RENEW A RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN ME

FROM MY MESS. HE HAS TAKEN MY MESS AND TURN IT INTO A MESSAGE FOR

OTHER TO HEAR AND READ, THAT THEY TOO MAY BELIEVE AND RECEIVE.

THEREFORE I WEAR THIS BLESSED THOUGHT AS A NECKLACE OF DIAMONDS

AROUND THE NECK OF MY MEMORY: I PUT IT ON AS A GOLDEN RING ON THE

FINGER OF RECOLLECTION, AND USE IT AS MY/OUR KING‟S SYMBOL OF

COMPLETENESS, A CIRCLE OF NEVER ENDING CONFIDENCE OF SUCCESS.

MY/OUR BROTHER WAS BORN FOR ADVERSITY; TREAT HIM AS SUCH. HE HAS

FELT IT ALL. AS I REMEMBER THIS THERE IS NOTHING TO DIFFICULT AND

STRENGTHEN MY SPIRIT LORD

Salvation is a Process: BY Shawn P. Lang

Salvation is three-step process that begins confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead-Romans 10:9. This is Justification. We are justified by the work that Christ put in on the cross. His death, burial and resurrection paid the price once and for all that we might have eternal life. If we do nothing else past justification, confessing and truly believing, we are saved. Unfortunately,

some become stuck in justification because they don’t care to go through tribulations, persecutions and all that requires us to pick up our cross and follow Jesus. Sometimes, ministries are established with leaders who have not been sanctified for service and the result is that their flock either outgrows them spiritually because of the living Word, or the blind lead the blind and they both fall into a ditch. At this point salvation is hanging in the balance because the heart hasn’t truly embraced believing in their heart that God raised Jesus from the dead with power; power that is given to all who believe and receive.

God doesn’t want us to stay stuck in the justification process. He would like us to continue on in the second step: Sanctification-2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. Sanctification is the process of becoming set apart for service for the Kingdom of God. This is where the growth and spiritual maturity flourish if allowed. Sanctification comes with enduring the storms and trials of life through the power of the resurrection. This is a life-long process which continues throughout our earthly sojourn here on the earth. It is during sanctification that we are establishing a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. It is here that we can know the power of His resurrection and experience the fellowship of His suffering if willing. All those who will live godly in Christ shall suffer persecution. It is for this reason that many won’t truly become sanctified.

As we continue our journey and sanctification process, we wait earnestly, but patiently for the third step: Glorification-Romans 8:30. It is here that we will be absent from the body and present with the Lord and changed forever with the gift of eternal life! Nothing to do here but rejoice! Let’s redeem the time while it is still day. For when the night comes, no man can work. We must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. We must not only confess the Lord Jesus, but believe that God raised Him from the dead and allow Him to empower us to face this journey, this spiritual warfare, this life with power from on high. If we truly believe, we will allow Him to part the Red Seas in our lives and will have the faith to walk on water and watch our resources feed five thousand. If we don’t embrace Sanctification, we will not appreciate Glorification. Let the Lord have His way. Not our will but Your will be done O’ God.

ADDRESSING OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN BY: BISHOP

STEVEN MAXWELL LIBERTY SR

I wrote this document about two years back under a different title ; but for a

very different reason for why I am releasing it in the middle of the year .

Sometimes to understand the Father better we need to always relate to the

best ways we can see Him clearly and as I always say ;it’s more simple to see

Him through His characteristics as revealed through His names!

At the beginning of each year millions of people around the world make

resolutions about how they wish life will be for them in the New Year. For

many these are vain words or a meaningless ritual utter because others are

doing the same. But the true meaning of a resolution goes beyond vain

utterance. It is a prayer to God for how we want Him to lead us during the

year; usually putting before Him a goal or project we intent to accomplish.

Now if you treat it as a prayer and direct it to the right place it actually works.

However the sad fact is that many people are not even sure of their prayers

these days. They rather go and pay money to one pastor or occultist to pray

for them. Well I got some news for you, if you are confuse about how to pray

and get answers for yourself. I want you to know that, gone are the days

when one should pay for prayers or seek prayers from those claiming to be

closer to God than you. Jesus Christ of Nazareth broke that rule and open up

the mystery that explains how to pray, who to pray to, what to pray for, and

where to direct our prayers. If you are really serious about getting answers to

your prayers then; get answers to your first prayer using a formula provided

by the Master Himself. Live to see your prayers answer as heaven open up for

you releasing blessings that is rightfully yours; but were unclaimed because

you did not know your birthright.

I know that there are times when we get confuse about the way we pray to

God and many questions come to mind. Questions like: am I really saying the

right words that will move God to answer my prayers? Do I have the right

attitude? How should I address God in order for Him to answer me? It is

written: “He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in

trouble; I will deliver him and honour him. Seek ye the Lord while He may be

found, call ye upon Him while He is near”. (Psa. 91:15; Isa. 55:6) These

promises of assurance are in the Bible; but what makes me different? I want

you to know today that you are not the first person to experience this kind of

feeling; the disciples had the same problems when they first met Jesus Christ.

They walk with Jesus everyday and saw Him pray and great things happened,

the blind saw, the lame walk, the sick were heal ;regardless of their illness,

the demon possess were release from captivity and the dead rose again.

What kind of man is this; they asked each other, does He have a special

formula for praying? Why is it when we pray these things do not happen as

He does even if we use the very same words He did? That is why one day

Christ decided to answer their concerns with a message deeper than what

people think, when they view it on the surface; but if they dig deeper they

will discover the keys to the mystery of prayers directed to Heaven or lost

because it was misdirected. If you understand His teaching, believe Him and

applied His formula, you will definitely have the answers you seek to your

many questions about your prayers life; and like the Disciples of Christ; apply

them everyday, and make as much difference in all you do and get the very

same results they got. God wants us to walk very close to Him; seeking Him at

all times and finding Him. He wants to be there for us; always preparing

tables for us in the very presence of our physical and spiritual enemies; but

we must draw near to Him; understanding His desires and purpose for our

lives and destinies; then He will open up our knowledge to Heavenly wisdom

that will instruct us in many mysteries that are ours by birthright, but we

can’t comprehend them because of our blindness from sin, that plant

mistrust and doubt in our lives. One of our rights as a creation of God is to be

able to communicate with the Creator at any hour day and night and get a

response. But….

Jesus said: “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:

for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the

streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their

reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast

shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which

seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain

repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their

much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth

what things ye have need of, before ye ask him”.

He went on to say: “After this manner therefore pray ye: „Our Father which

art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in

earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our

debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver

us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.

Amen‟.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also

forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your

Father forgive your trespasses”.

Now critically examining the message above; let us first find out where we

go wrong. Many times when we pray it is to impress others with how well

we can pray or speak & pray in tongues; how well we can quote the Bible.

So it becomes like a competition of who is the best shouter or can pray in

tongues. Christ said that type of prayer will go nowhere but stop in the ears

of men. Christ encouraged us to enter into a closet and shut the door. What

if I am in church; how do I do that? The closet is always with you where

ever you go. God hears and see in your closet every movement; therefore

He knows those unuttered prayers. Most of the time, the vain words we

utter in public prayer are far from what we really want to say to God.

Christ cautions us about using vain repetitions; like repeating Bible verses

or other people sayings that does not originate with us. It is so false and

does not represent you before God at all. God knows the real you and all

that is in your heart because He created you. So He gives us a prayer model

to follow when we pray. Many people have not seen or understood the true

teachings behind this seemingly simple but complicated and effective

model; they do just the same thing Christ warn us about not doing,

repeating the prayer He taught us as an example. Christ instructed us to

pray “after this manner”. What does “after this manner” mean to you,

repeat after me? However before getting into the details; I want to deal

with our prayer attitude a little. What should be the right attitude when we

approach God?

1. Call upon Him in Truth. (Remember He knows you in and out. Stop

pretending) “The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that

call upon him in truth.”(Psa.145:18); There is freedom that comes when we

perceive the truth ; we will experience liberation from many of our evil

ways and thoughts that holds us down and keep us from attaining the

heights of blessings; dominion; fruitfulness and multiplication that is

rightfully ours in life. Why because the truth will serve s mirror that we can

look at ourselves in. It is very possible for us to experience fully the keys to

many things that are mysteries to us. One of the greatest mysteries about

the truth is, understanding that everything we do or think is known by the

Father in Heaven. If we fully understand this truth we can live on earth like

in Heaven because we will be conscious of the Father presence with every

step we take. It is written that God is Truth and those who worship Him

must do so in Spirit and in Truth. Truth is a bright shining light that

exposes the dark deeds of men. If we must walk in Truth then we must

accept the fact that we are ready for our dark deeds to be exposed to the

entire world. Truth causes us to re-examine our lives and steps and repent

of our evil pass and turn to God who is light. If we must fellowship;

communicate and walk with God; we must except to be exposed to the light.

Once we begin walking with God we will overcome those things that

actually block our heritage and birthright to subdue. I want you to realize

that most of the things that hinders/limits our prayers are from within

ourselves. We must realize that the Truth is a vital key to getting answers to

our prayers.

2. Have Faith that God hears your prayers and will give you the best

answer. Do not think Christ and the Prophets of old were speaking in

parables or paradoxes when they said these words of reality: “For verily I

say unto you, That, whosoever shall say unto this mountain. Be thou removed,

and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall

believe that those thing which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have

whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, what thing soever ye desire,

when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them; Blesseth is

the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall

be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her root by the river,

and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; And the

apostles said unto the LORD , Increase our faith”. (Mk.11:23,24; Jer.17:7,8;

Lk.17:5) ; no my dear friends ;they were very serious about releasing to us a

very important key to our prayer life; and that key is TRUST/FAITH.

Christ wants us to talk to Him as one big family of brothers and sisters

whose desire is to get the best results for and from the Father in Heaven.

That is why He said: “And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that I will

do, that the Father may be glorified in the son”. Answering your prayers

brings glory to the Father in Heaven.

3. Be persistent: do not give up; no matter what you see, hear, or feel. “And

Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking

of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the

hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he

wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said,

I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy

name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more

Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and

hast prevailed”. (Gen. 32:24-28) Hold fast to your God in prayers; never

letting go of His feet until He gives you an answer.

4. Turn it all over to God in humbleness and rely on His power and

strength; believing He is capable of delivering you out of you distress or

give you your needs. For it is written: “Seek the LORD and his strength, seek

his face continually. And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather

us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy

holy name, and glory in thy praise”; for He promised, “ If my people, which

are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face,

and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will

forgive their sin, and will heal their land”.(1Chr.16:11,35;2Chr.7:14);

However as you might have notice here, there is a condition attached; you

must be willing to give up something and that thing is to turn from the evil

ways of this world and be willing to commit your life to following the

principles of the kingdom of God. Remember that true humility is when

you totally agree with the true, and here I mean the true of God‟s Word.

5. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in your prayers. Open yourself up to the

Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will give you the right words to speak; For it

I written “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not

what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession

for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; Praying always with all prayer

and supplication in the Spirit, and watching there unto with all perseverance

and supplication for all saints”; (Rom. 8:26; Eph. 6:18)

6. Appreciate God for everything happening at that movement; regardless

of the prevailing circumstances: For it I written: “Continue in prayer, and

watch in the same with thanksgiving; Be careful for nothing; but in every

thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made

known unto God; Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is

the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (Col: 4:2; Plil 4:6 1Thess

5:17, 18). One thing is certain about our relationship with God; He wants us

to be appreciative for the little things He does for us everyday. Our God is

very jealous over His creation and share His Glory with no man, Angel,

creatures above or below, spirits or demons; that is why we must always

prove our loyalty by thanking and appreciating Him in all circumstances.

7. Go boldly before the Throne of your Father and laid down your burdens

and He will help you; For it I written: “Let us therefore come boldly unto the

throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of

need.” (Heb 4:16) He created you in His image and likeness and wants you

to approach Him with freedom as a child approaches their parent.

8. And lastly it is always very important to wait patiently upon the LORD;

God never answers prayer late He does not send you a wrong answers for

our prayers. It is written: “The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to

the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly

wait for the salvation of the LORD. Let us lift up our heart with our hands

unto God in the heavens”. “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that

the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth

not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding. He giveth

power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly

fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall

mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they

shall walk, and not faint”.(Lam.3:25,26,41; Isa. 40:28-31)

In order to get the real meaning of the prayer Christ taught that day we

must again take a closer look at the attributes of God. In order to do so; I

will have to return to the Hebrew roots; using some of the Names of God

to clarify what the Master was talking about that day. He begins the Prayer

with “Our Father”. Why “Our Father” and not My Father since I am also

His child. He was pointing us to a title of God. ELOHIM: “Our “Creator, Preserver, Transcendent, Mighty and Strong” ; EL

SHADDAI: “God Almighty” or "God All Sufficient” ;

JEHOVAH: "I AM WHO I AM" or 'I WILL BE WHO I WILL”) ;

FATHER: . Note here that Christ was pointing us to God who was

more than a Father; capable of handling not only my problem but the

problems of the entire universe. There is nothing too big or small that He

cannot do. Because He is all His Name connotes; you should have no

problem placing your faith in Him. I know if we human develop a project

and it is successful we love it very much and care for it. It is the same with

the Father; He created you for a divine purpose and therefore cares for you

very much. It is written : “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts

unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give

good things to them that ask him”?(Matt.7:11). We are the work of His

hands and He loves us very much. The prophet Isaiah put it this way: “But

now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and

we all are the work of thy hand”. (Isa. 64:8) He who shape us the way we are

knows our needs, desires, strength, and weakness. Not only does He know;

but He is capable of solving any giving situation concerning us. When we go

to Him in prayer we should always address Him as the Father of all living

things and indeed the universe. Why? Because He is our Creator, in charge

of preserving our lives on earth as long as He wishes; and controls every

living thing and element of the universe. We must therefore address Him

with admiration, adoration, and honour Him for His works and believe He

is bigger than our problems and be ready and willing to except any answer

He gives us.

Christ continued: “which art in Heaven”. Earth & Hell boost of many little

gods (evil spirits and demons calling themselves gods) gods; but there is

only one God in Heaven. Our God reign the entire universe from His

Throne in Heaven. It is His dwelling place; His Holy Temple. It is written:

“The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth

over all; Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say

among the nations, The LORD reigneth.; The LORD is in his holy temple, the

LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of

men.” (Pa.103:19; 1Chr. 16:31; Pa. 11:4) When you look at the Heavens

you can see the Glory of ELOHIM: Our “Creator, Preserver,

Transcendent, Mighty and Strong” and you will never see the end of it

from the beginning nor fully understand its design. The men of this

world/scientist of different types have study it for centuries and have come

up with changing theories everyday ; disproving the older ones. You can see

the Glorious artwork and design of His handiwork. The laws that He

decreed to control the motions of each and every thing He put in place are

perfect and failest not. When you want to address our Creator; Christ urge

us to direct our prayers to the very Temple and Throne of ; EL SHADDAI:

“God Almighty” or "God All Sufficient” for solutions. Any

other place you address your prayers will definitely not be for our God;

OUR FATHER , who dwells in Heaven. It is written: “If I shut up the

heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land,

or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my

name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from

their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin,

an will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attend

unto the prayer that is made in this place”.(2Chr.7:13-15) It is quite clear

that in order to draw EL SHADDAI: “God Almighty” or

"God All Sufficient” attention you can not belong to the devil and his

associates . You have to be one of His worshippers or willing to be a part of

His Kingdom. Does that mean He does not love the others? He love and

care for them too; yet giving them a chance to repent and come over. But as

a member of His Kingdom we have priority and His ears, because we know

and believe in Him; and His eyes and ears are open to attend to those

prayers directed to His Throne in Heaven. Indeed to draw EL SHADDAI:

“God Almighty” or "God All Sufficient” we are to know

Him enough in order to place our faith in Him; address Him properly ,

direct our prayers to Him and be a part of His Kingdom.

Christ continued: “Hallowed be thy Name”: JEHOVAH: "The Self-Existent One," "I AM WHO I AM" or 'I WILL BE WHO I WILL This

Name was revealed to Moses at the burning bush according to Exodus

chapter 3 of the Holy Bible. For many God Name is too Holy and sacred to

be uttered; therefore it is written YHWH. When we go to God in prayer we

are to remember that He is the Holy One. He is also referred to as

KADOSH: "Holy One" (Psa. 71:22; Isa. 40:25, 43:3, 48:17). It

is written: “Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like

unto thee, glorious in Holiness”? We are to recognize and proclaim the

Holiness of JEHOVAH: . It does not mean that if you with hold

your praises, recognition or adoration for His Holiness; no one will do so.

The Apostle John describes a unique form of worship that JEHOVAH:

receives in heaven twenty four hours around the clock; non-stop.

Angels and celestial beings bow to Him day and night in recognition of His

Holiness. “And four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they

were full of eyes: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy,

LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come; And when those

beast give glory and honour, and thanks to Him that sat on the Throne, and

who liveth for ever and ever; The four and twenty elders fell down before Him

that sat on the Throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast

their crowns before the Throne, saying , Thou are worthy , O Lord (

JEHOVAH: ) , to receive glory and honour, and power: for thou hast

created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created”.

JEHOVAH: is not only glorified for His Holiness but also for His

righteousness. On earth inspired servants of His Kingdom Hail Him for

both His Holiness and righteousness. JEHOVAH: who is also

known as; TSADDIQ: "Righteous One" (Psa. 7:9); or

JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU "The Lord Our

Righteousness" (Jer. 23:5, 6, 33:16) should also always be highly praise as a

God of righteousness each time we address Him in prayer . It is written; “I

will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe to my Maker; Clouds and

darkness are round about Him: righteousness and judgement are the

habitation of His Throne; Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken

me in thy righteousness. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy

judgements. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law I

the truth.. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting”.(Job 36:3; Psa.

97;2; 119:40, 137,142,144).

Christ continued: “Thy Kingdom Come” The original purpose we were

created on this earth by ELOHIM: in His very image and

likeness was to established a divine link; the Kingdom of God on earth. In

this Kingdom man was to have total dominion over everything on earth.

There was to be total peace and stability, uniting every living creature on

the face of earth; where the lion and lamb could live in peace. In that

kingdom sickness, pain, dying, envy etc were absent. Man was created to

have dominion over everything and in return just worship, praise the

Maker and live in harmony with the rest of creation; but that golden

opportunity slip out of our hands when we allowed ourselves to fall prey to

the tricks of the deceiver. However ELOHIM: being merciful

decided to reinstate us back to this original state; through a voluntary

process. While on earth (during His three years Ministry) Christ spend

majority of His time teaching and preparing us for this great reunion with

our Maker.(Matt.13:24-3,38-43; 13: 31,32;25:1-

13;18:3;19:14;19:23,24;13:47-50;18:23-35;Mk. 4:26-29;Lk.14:16-24;19:12-

27;Jn.18:36 etc.) It is one of ELOHIM: most important purpose

for our lives. Accepting and being a citizen of the Kingdom of God is very

important and must be acknowledge each time we pray to Him. It is like

renewing your loyalty to your country each time you salute your flag or

hear your national anthem play. How do know that we are truly citizens of

the Kingdom of God.; Renewing your loyalty to every day even get the

attention of the angels of God. It is written that the Angels rejoice each time

without failing once one lost soul returns to the Kingdom of God. The

assurance that you are a citizen of the Kingdom of God; does not only give

you a direct link to the Throne of God but a ticket for life after death.

Christ noted that we must always mention the Kingdom of God and our

relationship to it each time we pray.

Christ continued: “thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.” What is the

will of God for our lives? As He made us in His image and likeness; He

Bless us to fruitful in everything we undertake on the face of the earth. It is

our heritage that every project we undertake on the face of this earth

should bear fruits. As long as you live on the face of this earth, every seed

you plant in your life must multiply. Every imaginable type of creativity or

invention projects ect; should bloom in your hands as long as it relates to

this earth. It is your rights to fill every inch of the earth and live any part

you wish. Instead of being subdued by problems, sickness, joblessness,

homelessness, broken marriages, and evil caused by principalities and

powers of darkness; you were created to subdue everything that moves

within this atmosphere under your feet. It was not the will of God that you

kill and eat creatures on earth, or in the sky of your atmosphere; not

animals eat one another but that there be perfect harmony between all on

earth. It is written: “And God said, Behold I have given you every herb

bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the

which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat And to

every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that

creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb

for meat and it was so”.(Genesis 1:29,30) There shouldn‟t have been strive ;

hunger; elements of nature to defeat us. God created the earth with

sufficient food and space to feed and host mankind; but sin blinded us and

we lost our ability to love; to be satisfy with Once We cross over that bridge

that takes us back to our original heritage; there is nothing to stop us from

claiming the blessings of fruitfulness God originally provided for us. In sin

we lost this right and noble heritage. We began to dominate each other

instead of the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field and creatures of the

sea.

We are creatures of the earth and that is what we will be while we walk on

the face of this earth; however it is very possible to see, feel and speak with

God as you do to one another here on earth. How is that possible? All you

have to do is to go into your closet; which is your heart and look with the

eyes of your heart. Yes it is mystery of Heaven that you can be as close to

your Father as Abraham; Isaac; or Jacob or any of the Prophets you have

heard or read bout. This is because God has made it possible through Jesus

Christ for us to come as close to Him as we desire in life. If it is really your

desire to get very close to Him you have to lay side anything that will hinder

your intimacy with Him and give yourself fully to pursuing that desire and

definitely you will get what you seek from God. Then you have attained

your goal of coming close to Him; for He promised in His word that all else

that you need in this journey of life will be yours For It is written: “But seek

ye first the kingdom of God; and His righteousness; and all these things ill be

added unto you; Blessed re they which do hunger and thirst after

righteousness; for they shall be filled”. (Matt. 6:33; 5:6) This was mystery

learned by all the prophets of God long before Christ came to the world to

lay a Bridge back to heaven. Job wrote: I would seek unto God, and unto God

would commit my cause”. (Job 5:8); Daniel said: I set my face unto the Lord

God; to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and

ashes (Daniel 9:3); The Prophet Isaiah quoted God :( I have not spoken in

secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye

me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and

there is none else. (Isa.45:19,22);

Christ reminds us that it is the original will of God that the Children of the

Kingdom reclaim these rights, for God never changes and once He

pronounced them they remind ours. In order to make sure no one miss out

on the opportunity to claim their birthright; He provided bridge for us to

cross over to Him once more. All we have to do is to reclaim our birthrights

and remind God in prayers that we are ready to take possession of them.

We are ready to subdue our problems and difficulties and take control as a

child of the King. It is written; Jesus said: “and these signs shall follow them

that believe;(Children of the Kingdom of God) In my name they shall cast out

devils; they shall speak in new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they

drink any deadly thing, it ill not harm them; they shall lay hands on the sick

and they shall recover”.(Mk.16:17,18) Once we cross over that bridge that

takes us back to our original heritage; there is nothing to stop us from

claiming the blessings of fruitfulness, multiplication; and dominion over

every other thing dwelling in the atmosphere of earth. So if you do not

hinder the will of God in your life by your own attitude towards Him;

nothing can stop your prayers.

Christ continued: “Give us this day our daily bread”. One of the Names of

God is JEHOVAH-JIREH: "The Lord will Provide." .

This name jireh can be interpreted as; to see, provide or fore see. It should

always be to the back of our minds when we call on Heaven that we are

calling on a God that provides; always on the right time and adequate

enough to keep us alive. Because He is also known as EL ROI:

"God of Seeing" (Gen. 16:13)”; who sees our every movement far ahead

; He is in the best place to determine our needs. He watches us as a hen

watches over her chicks. But I want to join David in the bible who describes

Him far better than I will ever be able to do. He described Him like this

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want”. Yes SHEPHERD: Psa. (23, 79:13, 95:7, 80:1, 100:3; Gen. 49:24; Isa. 40:11). When God

is your Shepherd, He is responsible for your daily bread. He is responsible

to provide a means in those times when we feel we are lost, walking that last

mile in life and sees no light. However this is a two way street as I noted

above; you have to be open when speaking to Him. When we are weak with

worry and can‟t seems to know the right direction ; the Shepherd/ provider

can be JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH: "The Lord is There"

(Ezek. 48:35). Yes right next to you ready to assist if you believe and take

His hands. Give Him the chance to be EYALUTH: "Strength"

Psa. 22:19. There are many times in life when we need extra strength to

move forward. Nothing can equal the strength of our God if we believe and

call upon Him during those dark hours. When you ask Him about your

daily bread it includes the means by which you are getting that daily bread.

It covers His giving you children and caring for them. It covers those times

when you are happy, sad, working, jobless, have a wonderful home,

homeless, any day, any situation you find yourself in during this walk. Give

it to Him directly and let Him be the shield that covers you when the

journey of life turns sour and friends are running away from you; families

avoiding your calls and fingers pointing at you. He can provide your daily

bread in those times. It is written: “Except the LORD build the house, they

labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman

waketh but in vain. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt

thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by

the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. The LORD

shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the

days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon

Israel. Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in

the earth! He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of

the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his

people. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother

of children. Praise ye the LORD. The LORD is gracious, and full of

compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. Who covereth the heaven with

clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the

mountains. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children

within thee. He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of

the wheat.For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and

the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I

will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. Ask ye of the

LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright

clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field”.

(Psa.127:1; 128:2-8; 113:6-9; 145:8;147:8,9,13,14; Zech. 8:12;10:1) Yes all

you have to do is to ask and you shall not lack. He is ready to provide for

you.

Christ continued. “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” This

is one of the most difficult parts of this prayer for many people. It is the

part that blocks most of our prayers from Heaven. Many of us claimed to

be in Christ and covered with His blood but it is a known impediment

because of our hard hearts. This part of this prayer has a blessing and a

curse. „Forgive me LORD if I have the heart to forgive my friends‟. Now we

must bear in mind that sin divides us from God and in order to reclaim His

blessings we need His mercy but His one rule is that if you must obtain His

mercy, you must also forgive those who hurt you. This does not mean those

people will go unpunished; no, never; for it is written “Bless them which

persecute you: bless, and curse not. Recompense to no man evil for evil.

Provide things honest in the sight of all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not

yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is

mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil

with good, But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for

nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of

the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore

merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be

judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be

forgiven: Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke

him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times

in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou

shalt forgive him. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye ought against

any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your

trespasses”.(Rom. 12:14,17,19,21; Lk. 6:35-37; 17:3,4;Mk.11:25) This has

been a major obstacle that have block many prayers today. Many pray

with anger in their hearts and unforgiving sins that have been nurture for

days, months or years. Christ in this pray model is implying that under no

circumstance can such persons be free of sin; because once you are a part of

the family of the Kingdom of God ; you must adhere to the rules of the

Kingdom. Because it is so difficult to do; God looks with favour upon those

who does this and answer their prayers.

Christ continued: “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”.

Temptation entered the world not through God but through the deceiver

;from the very beginning of the world. “Now the serpent was more subtil

than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto

the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of

the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God

hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the

serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that

in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as

gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good

for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make

one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her

husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and

they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made

themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the

garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the

presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD

God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I

heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I

hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten

of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the

man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the

tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that

thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat”.

Someone asked me before; why didn‟t God stop Eve before she ate the

fruit? Why did God have to put the tree there? First of all the tree was not

the only special tree in the garden. There was also the tree of life in that

garden. As they were pure they could eat of it until they were mature

enough in the sight of God. God issue the warning as He welcome them in

the garden. That is just the same as it today; for many have the word of

God as a guide but want God to come and personally tell them. Many

continue to dodge around it until it is too late. God does not lead you into

temptation and never allows you to walk into one you can not handle if you

try. Eve could have said no and Satan would not force her to eat it. It has no

power to force her. Everyday we meet this same situation in our lives and

many times we fall because of our inability to resist the Devil with the

weapon or guidelines God has given us in His word. How Can He who

created you want to destroy you through tempting you to go wrong? How

can a pure Holy God lead you to do impure and unholy things? One of the

names of God is KANNA: "Jealous" (zealous). Ex. 20:5, 34:14;

Deut. 5:9; Isa. 9:7; Zech. 1:14, 8:2. Because God is jealous over His

creation He always protects them. It is written: “He maketh me to lie down

in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul:

he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake”

He always led you to the right places but sometimes we chose the wrong

direction. Many times when I read the story of the lost sheep in the Bible; I

see a loving Shepherd but a selfish, greedy, proud, arrogant little sheep

,who went astray because even though the Shepherd lead it to green grass;

it selfishly decided to go its own direction where it would eat alone and have

more than the others. So the little sheep like us today yielded to the

temptations of fresher grass, that it could eat alone and got lost probably

falling into a hole. Now I don‟t have problem with the Master restoring it;

but with the fact remains that while the Master was in search of it , any

wild animal could fall among the rest of the flock and lives would have been

lost because of a greedy,selfish sheep. Who lead it into temptation? That is

why Christ says when you pray remember to ask Him to help you avoid

temptation; but, if you fall; to deliver you, like the Shepherd did. Delivering

you is not limited to only you falling but also to those powers and

principalities of darkness, enemies laying traps in your path, and

unfavourable life situations. David speaking about this: noted that when

you are a member of the Kingdom of God you can rely on Him to deliver

you anytime, anyplace in any situation. He noted this about our God called

PALET: "Deliverer" Psa. 18:2.; ZUR: "God our Rock"

Deut. 32:18; Isa. 30:29.

; EYALUTH: "Strength" Psa. 22:19; MAGEN:

"Shield" Psa. 3:3, 18:30. ; JEHOVAH-SABAOTH: "The Lord of Hosts" The commander of the angelic host and the armies of God. Isa. 1:24; Psa. 46:7, 11; 2 Kings 3:9-12; Jer. 11:20 (NT: Rom. 9:29; James 5:4, Rev. 19: 11-16.

;and JEHOVAH-ROHI: "The Lord Our Shepherd"

Psa. 23, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I

will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort

me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou

anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over” God is big enough to

deliver from any and every situation; therefore Christ noted that when we

pray we should always remember to note this factor.

Christ concluded His prayer model like this:” For thine is the kingdom, and

the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen”. We are to never forget that our

God is the owner of the Kingdom and we bow to none else. He is MELEKH:

"King" Psa. 5:2, 29:10, 44:4, 47:6-8, 48:2, 68:24, 74:12, 95:3,

97:1, 99:4, 146:10; Isa. 5:1, 5, 41:21, 43:15, 44:6; 52:7, 52:10. We are

to note and repeat our allegiance each time we pray before we slip. God

power is limitless as I have try to prove from few of the attributes

associated with His names. Yes we can proudly boast of His Supreme Power

of faithfulness, Fatherhood, Glory, Goodness, Grace, Guidance, Holiness, of

being Immutable, of being Impartial, Incomprehensible, infinite, Jealousy,

He is our Judge and His Justice, Our King, God of knowledge,

longsuffering, His Mercy, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient,

Perfection; Personality, Power, Providence of God, Overruling

Interpositions, His Mysteriousness, His Righteousness, Our Saviour,

Sovereignty, Spirit, His Truth , Ubiquitous, Unchangeable, Unity ,

Unsearchable, His Voice, His Works, His Wisdom.

I want you to remember that it is only He who name is too sacred to

pronounce can answer our prayers if we follow the path He has laid down

for us. We must recognize that He is our only Father (collectively); direct

our prayers to Him alone in Heaven; Praise, Glorified ,and honour him for

His Holiness each time we pray; We are to be members of His Kingdom in

order to regain our lost privileges; We are to believe and have faith to trust

the results He gives to our prayers; Seek Him for our daily resources; and

forgive each other in order to be forgiven, ask Him to direct the path you

walk on in this life and to fight your battles ;spiritually and physically; and

just close with praising Him for being the only, everlasting King of the

Kingdom of which you are a subject, honouring Him for His Power

immeasurable and unlimited, giving Him glory along with all creatures on

earth and in Heaven. If you can follow this simple guideline given to us by

Christ Himself; nothing will stop your prayers.

I WISH YOU A BLESSED FATHER’S DAY!
