The Gospel is the good news

For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is
the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes -- the
Jew first and also the Gentile.

God is on our side -- not against us. That's good news!


The Gospel means good news. It was not originally a religious word,
but meant good news which makes people happy and excited.

If what you have heard about  Christ does not make you
happy and excited, then you have not yet truly heard and
understood the Gospel as it is meant to be understood.

The basic outline is that Jesus of Nazareth, who was God in a
human body, took your place in judgment, paying the penalty
for all your sins, and gave you the blessing He deserved
because of His perfect sinless life.

God, the Creator, and Sustainer of the universe, loves you
enough to die for you. That's good news!

Christ took  upon himself that which was yours and mine to pay, he paid the price
we could not and now because of his blood we are redeemed.

Christ died for the sins of the world. Deliverance from sin, is here for us to simply accept and believe
on the one who died for you and I. Turn from sin and embrace and accept Christ as your Lord and savior.
Nothing more is necessary accept you believe and confess your sin and turn from sin and turn to Christ.
The good news is we are no longer enemies of God's, but we have been adopted into the family of God.
You sins have been washed away, you have been made righteous not because of anything that you have done. 


Go!!!!! Tell everyone you meet the good new Christ died for their sins, so that they do not have die and go to hell, instead they can now dwell forever with Christ  our Lord and Savior.  After why would you want to die and go to
hell after having lived in hell on earth?  Christ offers you  eternal joy and peace, accept and be free from sin.

Flee from Sin

1 Corinthians 6:18 "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

 

Four times in the New Testament we are warned to "flee" sinful actions and temptations. The Greek word pheugo, from which we get our word "fugitive," means simply "to run away." Evidently there are certain things which must be avoided at all costs. Our text mentions fornication and brings to mind Godly Joseph's reaction to Potiphar's wife's advances, he fled from sin he left his clothing behind . Tell are you willing and able to flee when sin comes at you? Even though his decision cost him dearly in the short run, it was the right thing to do, and God honored him.

 

Likewise, if we are to do the right thing, we must "flee from idolatry", such as participation in the pagan feasts of Paul's day, as well as the modern-day counterparts which might bring us under demonic influence or in contact with worship of the devil.

 

"But thou, O man of God, flee these things" , says Paul, after listing "envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputing "  and "love of money" . Paul knew, however, that merely fleeing these evils was not enough. He wisely instructed Timothy to substitute positive actions in the place of the negative ones he was to avoid, and to "follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness". Elsewhere, he admonished Timothy to "flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace"  with the aid and mutual encouragement of "them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart." God does not expect us to live the Christian life entirely on our own.

 We are like a moth to a flame, when it comes to us being drawn into sin, Christ told us that if our eye offends us to pluck it  out it is better to enter into heaven with one eye than to go to hell with both.  Why is so hard for us as men to resist the desires of our flesh?

Christ, knows what your going through and he wants you draw closer to him, he tells you and I to come sit at his right hand side while he makes our enemy the Lucifer our footstool.

His will

Many times I hear people say I want to know what the will of God is for my life.
Even I a simple know the answer to that  question its simple. Its Genesis  to Revelation
that is God will for each of us. So read and know what his perfect will is.


God has revealed His will to us in many areas through His
written Word, the Bible. But there are many things the Bible
does not specifically tell us, such as what person to marry,
what job to do, or where to live.  Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth.
It was given to us as guide to add us in this journey. Still God has
made provision to guide us in these areas of life also.

The peace of God is the umpire to determine our direction.

Understanding the "peace of God" can sometimes seem difficult. Inexperienced
believers can mistake feeling good or comfortable in their
flesh for the inner witness. But, just like everything in life,
we learn, even when we make a mistake.

While this may be open to misunderstanding and abuse, it's what
Scripture teaches. God desires a growing relationship with us,
and obviously is not too concerned about us never making a
mistake while we grow spiritually and learn by experience how
to better discern the "inner witness."

We are not talking about having "peace" in your flesh, but an
"inner" peace deep within your spirit. It is not fleeting, but
grows stronger the more we draw near to God by spending time
focused on Him and His Word.


There are two criteria by which we can determine whether a
thought is from God. The first is a knowledge of the written
Word of God, the Bible. God will never lead us contrary to His
written Word.

The second criteria is the inner witness.


Romans 2:15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their
conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their
thoughts accusing or else excusing them

How can you determine the Holy Spirit?

First, it is important to realize that it is not usually a
voice, but a witness. Some words to define it are intuition,
impression, idea, hunch, knowing, or peace.

The Holy Spirit is something we receive from God it purpose is aid us
in knowing what God's will is for our life and what direction God desires us to take. t


Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of God,

To be sensitive to the Lord's will, we must look to the Lord
and spend time focused on Him. Prayer, praise, giving thanks,
and acknowledging God in all our ways are part of it. The
better we know the Lord, both through His Word, and through
walking with Him, the easier it will be for us to discern the
 Holy Spirit, and know God's will for us.

We must walk in the light we have, and make our decisions
prayerfully.

 if any of us lack wisdom,  let him ask and it will be granted unto him.
His will is not for man  to go through life blind and afraid, but rather 
to stand on his word and trust him in all that we do.

By Faith

 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain,
'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in
his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done,
he will have whatever he says.
 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you
pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

There is spiritual growth as well as physical growth. We don't
start out strong and mature. The Bible, and all creation,
teaches gradual growth.


 The earth produces the crops on its own. First a leaf blade
pushes through, then the heads of wheat are formed, and finally
the grain ripens.

The Word of God  is full of great promises, just waiting
for you and I to simply receive them by faith. After all  Faith is a substances of thing
hoped for but not yet seen.  We as the body, must begin to step out on faith.


To step out on faith we must daily feeding our faith on God's Word and dying to self.



Matthew 18:19 "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth
concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by
My Father in heaven.


God knows our needs. The Word of God  tells us that God has plains to prosper us
now do not be deceived I'm telling you that God wants to give you millions of dollars.
I'm saying God has plains to care for your needs and provide and protect you.
But by faith you must accept this and believe it. Each of us must do this, If you 
walk into work tomorrow and your boss says your fired, what would you do?
For me not being on Active Duty that is a very real fear for me now.
Yet I should and must stand on Faith that God would protect me and provide for me.

I must also realize as Job did, everything I have is God's anyway, each day rise up
oh man of God and woman of God claiming victory over the enemy in your home,
at your work place both in our drive to and from work. By faith stand in the gap for others
know that God will do what he said he would do.
I want to this week to agree with another brother or sister to pray for a issue till
God does what his word says in Matthew 18:19
How can your faith grow unless you exercise it.

Live for Him

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Paul speaks to the body, concerning how we must live. If we have a right relationship with God, we will have a right relationship with people. Who are part of our daily lives. "If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar (1 John 4:20) We give must give our bodies to Christ. Before you and I trusted Christ, we gave our bodies to sin and the pleasures of it, but now that we belong to Christ, we want to give him full access to our bodies soul and hearts The Christian body is God's temple 1 Cor. 6:19-20 because of the Spirit of dwells with us, so it is our privilege to glorify Christ in our bodies and magnify Christ in our bodies. We must give him our mind as well as our bodies for the mind controls the body. For the world simply wants to control or even destroy your mind. God transforms our minds and makes us spiritually minded by using his Word. As you spend time meditating on God's Word, memorizes it, and making it apart of inner man. God will gradually make your mind more spiritual 2 Cor. 3:18. Transforming of your mind into the mind of Christ. Where like Christ you will seek to do the will of your Heavenly Father and you will trust him even unto death. May the life I live speak of you oh Lord God

Christ Understand better than you think

If I told you that I was hurting deep inside.
Would you understand?
If I said I feel stressed and overcome by the world.
Would you understand?
If I told you that I have times when I ready to give up and throw the towel in.
Would you understand?

Well I know someone who does understand the things you and I are going through.

 His name is Christ

In Hebrew 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with
our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet
without sin.

Whatever you face, Jesus Christ has already faced it.

Christ knows what it is like:

to be hungry
to be tired
to be lonely
to be hurt
to be hated
to be beaten
to be persecuted
to be misunderstood
to be mistreated
to be mocked and laughed at
to be betrayed by a friend
to be tempted to sin
to be responsible for employees
to feel forsaken
to feel hopeless
to have no spouse
to have no earthly father there to help
to have lost a loved one
to have to pay taxes
to have money stolen from you
to have the responsibility to provide for a family
to live under an oppressive government
to experience extreme pain
We no that no temptation that is common to man , was Christ exempt  from
He was in this flesh so therefore endured those same temptations that we as men do.
Sexual temptations, pride, power(money, possession, and position)
In Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Don't be afraid to talk to Christ about what is really going on in your life.
He tells to come and let us reason together, he desire to have a dialog with you.
He will say I understand, I've been there, but if you will hold onto to me
I will get you through this, I've made a way out for you. But we often times
especially us men want to fix ourselves and want to believe that we are not,
real men if we can get ourselves through these issue. He is there standing
at the door so let him in. He knows exactly what we need to get through these storms.
He will not abandoned you, after all he already bleed and died for us.
Never think that Christ does not understand your struggles and the sin nature of mankind.
There is no sin that you have committed that you can not go before the Lord with,
There is no struggle that you can bring to his thorn and lay it down before him.


I promise you that the Lord God we serve will not tell you, " I'm not carrying that for you".
I promise you that the Lord God we serve will never say your own your on.
I promise you that the Lord God we server will never tell you that I'm too busy right now.


He said he was with us always even unto death, so then isn't it time we realize.
That Christ is not a fair weather God, but a God who will stand up and walk
right out in the middle of the storm to you and board your boat and calm the sea's if you let him.
Let him speak to the storms in your life.  Let him empower you with the holy spirit,
That we might be like him, since Christ has been like us tempted but he did not sin.
We are tempted and do sin, for all have fallen short of the glory of God.

Even the Righteous suffer

"I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." 

 

God had said that Job was "a perfect and an upright man" and that there was "none like him in the earth" . Yet Job suffered as few men have ever suffered. After a fruitful life of great prosperity and highest esteem in the community, he suddenly lost all his possessions, all his children, his health, the love of his wife, and the respect of his closest friends. His friends, presuming to defend God's character, insisted Job must have been guilty of some terrible secret sin. But Job, in all good conscience, while still trusting God, felt he had to defend his own integrity against these false charges.

 

Nevertheless, despite Job's spotless record of moral righteousness, when he encountered God Himself, he could only despise his own proud self-righteousness and prostrate himself in dust and ashes. Similarly, the beloved disciple, John, after a long life of faithful service, fell like a dead man at the feet of Christ when he saw Him in His glory . Daniel also saw Him in this fashion, and even after his long, exemplary life, all of his apparent goodness and work suddenly appeared like corruption .

 

In the presence of God, even the most holy among men appear vile, and the sins of pride and self-righteousness and self-sufficiency--which almost inevitably are still present in their hearts--must somehow be purged before they are fully like Christ.

 

This is why Job and Daniel and Paul and all other Godly men and women must suffer in some degree as training for heavenly service. "For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake" .

Let us not be moved

 "Let us not be moved by the trials of this world
For we know that they come to separate for the only
one who can save any one.
 There is an old negro hymnal  


" I'm just a nobody
    I was walking downtown one day,
and I saw a man that appeared to be just an old wino;
sitting on the streets, telling the people
about Jesus as they passed by.
And because he was all raggedy and dirty,
people would just laugh and make fun
of the old man and walk on by.
And he said because of the way I am,
no money, no fancy clothes, no fine homes and cars,
alot of people consider me as nothing,
and say I don't know what I am talking about.
But there is one thing that he said
that really touched my heart and stayed on my mind,
when that old man looked up and said...

Chorus:
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody,
about somebody, who can save anybody.

I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody,
about somebody, who can save anybody.

Verse 1:
And he said, 'I've had so many problems in my life,
that I just couldn't deal with so I started drinking,
thought it would help ease my pain.
But things got worse, so I said,
'Lord I give up I'm in your hands',
and that's when my life began to change,
but these people think...'

Chorus

Verse 2:
And he said, 'On the streets day and night,
that's my life, that's my home,
ain't got nowhere else I could go.
So I just walk the streets,
telling the people about Jesus
from corner to corner, from door to door;
but they all make fun of me and say...

Chorus

Vamp:
Save, save,save your soul."






 But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life
dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the
ministry which I received from the Lord, to testify to
the gospel of the grace of God.

Some believers are tempted to give up on their faith in God
whenever the least thing seems to go wrong in their lives.

The apostle Paul suffered many things: beatings, stoning, and
shipwreck -- yet he called them "light afflictions."


 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is
working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory,

 We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are
perplexed, but not in despair;
 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed --

We are in a battle for the hearts and souls of men. The devil
is against us. While we know our victory is sure, we should not
expect to never face obstacles or difficulties.


 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of  God's army.


If this life was all there was, this would not be a wise way to
live. But there is a life in heaven and a future world. We
would be foolish to live as if this life is all there is.

So we should not forget eternity and focus only on the present.

We must hold on to our faith in God, no matter how things seem
to be going at the present. Because of our limited
understanding, our ability to evaluate things accurately is
limited. Our wonderful Lord  can be trusted. He loved us
enough to die in our stead, so we could go free. Why would He
lie to us?

We must be determined not to be moved by things our enemy does
to get us off our faith in God's Word.

God Cares

Mark 4:37-38-40
37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the
boat, so that it was already filling.
38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke
Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are
perishing?"
39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea,
"Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great
calm.
40 But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that
you have no faith?"

All of us have questioned  at some time whether God cares for us when we have
faced difficulties. It is easy to wonder why things are so
tough, if God truly loves us, as the Bible says.

What is the answer? Why don't things go better for us,
especially when we are trusting in God?


When the disciples thought they were going to sink in the storm
-- even though Christ was on their boat -- they cried out to
Him. And Christ did deliver them from danger.

But then, Christ rebuked His disciples because they were fearful,
and didn't handle the situation themselves.

Why didn't the Lord take care of the dire situation sooner? Why
did Christ let them nearly sink before He intervened? The answer
is simple. Christ was expecting His disciples to exercise
authority over the storm. To speak to their mountain and make it move.
Have you done that in our own life yet???

God has confidence in His children. He desires for us to grow
up, to learn to take responsibility, and to exercise the
authority He has given each of us in his name .


Luke 10:19 "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.

God told us to resist the devil, and all his works -- which is
everything that would steal, kill, or destroy. Why should God
interrupt and do things for us that He has already told us to
do, using His authority?

JAMES 4:7 NKJ
As we read in James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee
from you.

Yes, Christ cares for you -- enough to die for you! Don't judge
His love by your circumstances.

If it seems Christ is not calming the storms in your life, He
has not abandoned you. He is just expecting you to overcome, by
using your faith and the authority He has given you.


"In the name of our Lord God, Satan I command you to depart from my
brothers lives, from their marriages, from bodies and their minds.
Depart from my sisters take your hands off their families their bodies, their minds
for you have no authority here, for we are the children of God."

It is not your own

I wanted to share a thought with you that has been on my mind for a while.
I only hope it is a blessing to you


Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Paul speaks to the body, concerning how we must live. If we have a right relationship with God, we will have a right relationship with people. Who are part of our daily lives. "If a man says, I love God, and hateht his brother, he is a liar (1 John 4:20) We give must give our bodies to Christ. Before you and I trusted Christ, we gave our bodies to sin and the pleasures of it, but now that we belong to Christ, we want to give him full access to our bodies soul and hearts The Christian body is God's temple 1 Cor. 6:19-20 because of the Spirit of dwells with us, so it is our privilege to glorify Christ in our bodies and magnify Christ in our bodies. We must give him our mind as well as our bodies for the mind controls the body. For the world simply wants to control or even destroy your mind. God transforms our minds and makes us spiritually minded by using his Word. As you spend time meditating on God's Word, memorizes it, and making it apart of inner man. God will gradually make your mind more spiritual 2 Cor. 3:18. Transforming of your mind into the mind of Christ. Where like Christ you will seek to do the will of your Heavenly Father and you will trust him even unto death.
For your body is not your own. May the life I live speak of you oh Lord God

He Paid the Price for me

                

Christ died for the ungodly. Oh snap he died for me!!!!!!!!!

Christ did not come to earth to help perfect people, but
to help the ungodly sinners(me).

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we
were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Christ paid the price for the forgiveness of our sins
through His death.


In Ephesian 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Lucifer  tries to make people think God does not love them
because of their sins. But nothing could be further from the
truth. God loves sinners! Christ died to save a  sinners like me.


1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am
chief.
Paul said he was chief sinner, I tell you tonight  that I'm a 
Master chief of sinners, I do not say this with pride but shame,
for I know that had it not been for Christ I would be dead and gone
I would be spending eternity in hell.
God is against sin because it is harmful to us.

If God could not or would not help a sinner, then He would
never help any human. The Word of God tells the opposite story. We
have all missed the mark of perfection so we all need a Savior.
And we all have a Savior if we will but receive Him.

 If that had been necessary, Christ would have had to die
again and again, ever since the world began. But now, once for
all time, he has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin
by his own death as a sacrifice.

The sacrifice of Christ was sufficient to deal with all sin. You
have been forgiven. Accept that forgiveness. Turn away from sin.
 And walk with God for we are bought with a price the shedding of Christ blood for you and I.
Next time life does not go your way or God does not answer your prayer.
Before you utter those words that God does not care, remember this
he did what no man could or would have done for you!!!
He died for you, he paid your price and took your punishment.
My bible tells me that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God
meaning that we deserved to die and go to hell.
But Christ loved us so much that he knew that hell was not designed for mankind.
So he came to give us a choice, to be set free of sin and live with him for eternity in
heaven.


Lord let us each judge ourselves daily, let us each bow down on bended knees
and confess our sins one to another , but most us let us seek your face and to live 
according to your word. For we by ourselves have proven that we are failures.
But through you we are made righteous .


Thank you oh Lord,  for your love, for your grace and mercy.

Sin

I once heard an old  Baptist pastor say " That when God was finished with creating all things.
he looked at it and saw it was good. Christ looked at the Father and said when man sins. I will go down
and die for him. Not if but when man sins"


1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Many people let sin separate them from God. But the devil is
the one who tells us God does not love us when we sin.

Christ paid a great price so you can be forgiven and freed from
sin and its penalty.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we
were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God is against sin because it harms people, but God loves
sinners!

When we sin, it does not make God hate us. We should not run
away from God, but run to Him for help and cleansing, so that
our fellowship with Him will not be hindered in any way.

We confess our sins to shut the door on the devil so he has no
place in our affairs. We don't confess our sins to convince God
to forgive us. God has already forgiven! We confess our sins to
get rid of them, and keep the devil out.


In the book of Ephesian 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of His grace

God loves people, including you. His ultimate plan is to have a
family of people who do not sin, but voluntarily choose the way
of love, which is God's perfect way.

But just as a good parent does not throw their baby into the
street because they are not perfect yet, but still mess their
pants, so God does not discard His children when they sin.

God loves you more than any good parent ever loved their child.
So look to Him for help in overcoming sin, instead of expecting
condemnation from Him.

When you sin, confess it to get rid of its influence in your
life and to keep the devil from having any place. I don't mean
begging God to forgive you and promising to never do it again.
Instead say, "That is wrong. I should not have done that. Lord,
I need your help to overcome it. Please continue working your
will in me."

Sin has already been paid for with the precious blood of Christ.
God has already decreed that sin is forgiven, so that it should
not keep people from fellowship with Him.

Let God deal with them

 My brothers and sisters , never take revenge. Leave that to the
righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, "I will take
revenge; I will pay them back," says the LORD.

When people do us wrong, not taking revenge is difficult. It
seems natural to fight back when someone attacks us.

But the Word of God tells us to let God judge them.

This is not saying you should never defend yourself, or what
belongs to you. But do not seek revenge after you have been
wronged. Instead, let God handle it.

People who try to take revenge, usually end up committing more
injustice. Often a deadly cycle develops. Instead of taking
revenge, God's Word tells us to bless our enemies.

In Proverbs 25:21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is
thirsty, give him water to drink;

Matthew 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse
you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who
spitefully use you and persecute you,

God is aware of every injustice. And God promises to right
every wrong, eventually. God is a righteous judge, but all
judgment is not instant, or even in this life.


 For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering,
just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you
must follow in his steps.
 He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten
revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God,
who always judges fairly.
He was on the cross and yet asked God to have mercy on those
that had placed him there.
Stephen when he was being stone today, he also prayed for the Lord to have 
mercy on those that hurt him.
Willie Smith in a rap song "Just the two of us"
                                       "Throughout life people will make you mad
                                         Disrespect you and treat you bad
                                         Let God deal with the things they do
                                        Cause hate in your heart will consume you too"

Let the love of Christ shine even in the middle of your storm.

If God forgave you should you do the same

 I am writing to you who are God's children because your sins
have been forgiven through Christ.
Remember that Christ forgave you ,now is it time for you do the same.
 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your
neighbor as yourself."

For many people, the hardest person to forgive is themselves.

If God can forgive us, then we can, and must, forgive
ourselves. Not to forgive ourselves is to exalt ourselves above
God.

If God can decree that we are forgive-able, but we say we are
too bad to be forgiven, we are saying we know more than God.

Should your standards be higher than God's standards? He
forgives. Why won't you forgive yourself?

The devil wants you to stay focused on your past and your
failures, so you will not receive God's blessing.

God wants you to believe His Word and focus on His victory so
you will have a better future.
If we do not accept that forgiveness that Christ offers. Then we are tell Christ
That the price he paid for us, we do not accept his forgiveness.

Speaking the word

Christ often times is quoted for having said it is written.
Wanting people to know it was the word of God, not
something he just made up along the way.
When Christ was being tempted, Christ did not use any supernatural powers to
resist the devil. Christ simply quoted the written Word of God
to the devil. He was being an example to you and I, revealing to us
what power there is in the word of God.
Notice how the devil came to tempt Christ with a thought -- a
thought contrary to the written Word of God.
Then after Christ quoted the Word of God, the devil also quoted the
Bible but twisted the meaning. Christ responded only with
another verse from the Word of God.

Matthew 4:3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the
Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth
of God.' "

Matthew 4:6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself
down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over
you,' and, 'In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you
dash your foot against a stone.' "
7 Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You shall not tempt
the LORD your God.' "

If you read the whole passage in Matthew 4:1-11, you will see
that quoting the written Word was the only defense Christ used
against the devil. Nothing else.

If we are going to overcome temptation and walk in victory,
we must follow Christ example and quote the Word of God to the
devil. There is no other way.

God's Word in your mouth is your spiritual weapon. If we
neglect to use it, we will be overcome instead of walking in
all the victory and blessing that Chris has provided for us.


Ephesian 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God;

Obviously you must know what the Word of God says to quote it to the
devil. So it is evident how important it is to read and study
the Word of God for yourself.

Yet it is not enough to just read the Bible or study it. When
thoughts come that are not in agreement with the Bible, we must
speak the Word to the devil who is behind those thoughts. bind him
up and tell him as Christ did that he has to remove himself from you.
Now do not be deceived that does not mean the war is over but the battle
can be yours using the word of God as your shield and weapon.
He shall return but each time let you and I be ready both by the prayer life
we have and reading of our word. Let us not only be in prayer for ourselves
but for our brothers and sisters whom we often times are not even aware of
the storms they are going through. Many of my brothers myself especially
do not often times tell any one of the dark place we are in and how
the enemy is
having a field day with us. So let each of lift up another to the
Lord. Let us lift
up our co-workers that they would come to know the Lord. Let us lift up our
President in the hopes this man would come to know the Lord also and his wife
as well. For we have an ungodly man in the white house right now.
Let us pray for those in power that they would submit to the word of God also.

For it is written: If my people who are called by name will turn from their ways
I will hear their cries and heal their land. That starts with us!
So its time!!! To heal our land, Its time !!!!
To stand upon the word of God, its time!!!
Its time!!! To bind up the enemy with the Word of God.
