I AM VICTORIOUS!!!

Your hardest struggle is to see yourself as the victor, and not as the victim. If Jesus had not died; then you would have that excuse, but since he did; then you don't. I am MORE than a conqueror through Jesus Christ. Understand what Jesus died for, and then BE what he died for you to become. I AM VICTORIOUS!!! No matter what it looks like: "I AM VICTORIOUS, in the midst of adversities..."I am victorious...WHY? Because the word says so. PERIOD!! (no excuses, even when satan tries to make you doubt....believe God.)

Use me for you glory, Lord

Many have been USED by friends, spouses, children and family members. Being used leaves you feeling terrible, but there is one that I HIGHLY recommend you let use you and that's God. Let him use you to the fullest. Let him scrape every ounce of your potential out and use it for HIS GLORY!!! With him USING YOU; you will never feel terrible. Only terrible if he doesn't. BE USED BY THE LORD TODAY. GBU

THIS IS NO TIME TO SLEEP

TEXT: Jonah 1:5-7
5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went to him and said, “HOW CAN YOU SLEEP? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.”

TODAY'S POST: In the midst of devastation and disaster; Jonah was sound asleep. The captain of the ship went to wake and asked him how he could sleep at a time like that. It is amazing how some people can be oblivious to what is going on around them, in the natural, but also spiritually. Take for example when Jesus' moment had come he depended on his disciple to watch and pray, but in that hour which was most crucial they couldn't even stay awake. They didn't even know the time/hour had come. We have to be careful to be vigilant and fully awake today because saints of God we are truly living in critical times. Time is winding up and the hour is at had. Many souls are lost--so we must stay awake, sound the alarm and intercede on their behalf. No man aboard this ship should be asleep! The bible says in Romans 13:11 See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith. It is HIGH TIME TO WAKE OUT OF SLEEP. Get up, shake your selves and get busy about God's business.

STOP THE SILLY TALK: "I'M SAVED; ALL I NEED IS JESUS."

If you are believing God for a wife, don't sit around and wait for him to rain her down from heaven. Pray and believe and then expect to find her by beginning your search. Enough of this silly talk; I'm saved all I need is Jesus. Well, if that is the case why did God say it is not good for man to be alone?? If you don't have the anointing that Paul had to be alone; then you had better believe God to find yourself your a good thing. Don't do nothing illegal or out of his will. LOL AND WOMEN of the cloth; yes the bible says HE that finds himself a wife finds himself a good thing; but that don't mean you have to act all uninterested like you are not available. Come on, a house that isn't for sale won't ever get bought. Use some common sense and at least smile at the man of God that may be interested.

BEFORE THE STORM OF LIFE STRIKES; CHECK YOUR GOD

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1:5 Fearing for their lives, the desperate sailors shouted to their god for help and threw cargo overboard to lighten the ship.  And all the time Jonah was sound asleep down in the hold. 

TODAY'S POST:  In this storm the desperate sailors began to call on their gods:  When the storms of life comes---you had better made SURE you are calling on the ONE TRUE GOD; no other god will do.  Only the master of creation can calm the violent storms of life.  The bible says that God flung the wind that caused this violent storm.  So if He is powerful enough to control the wind; then you know the storm has to obey Him too.  What other god can do that?  Well, in my mind their is no other god, but for the sake of this story let's go with the text.  Consider this:  the desperate sailors shouted to their god.  If he had heard them then he would have calmed the storm, but he didn't.  They had to help him, by throwing their cargo overboard.  Their god had maybe fallen asleep or maybe he had a doctor's appointment.  I don't know, but my point is this, in this storm they didn't have any insurance.  It is a sad thing to need insurance and then find out that you don't have it; or the one you thought you had don't work.  You will loose everything in a storm without the God.

Many people have inadvertently selected to make THINGS, PEOPLE and even POSITIONS---their gods.  Money, neither can your position help/save you in a storm/crisis.  Many rich and famous people are debased to the level of the poor during a storm/crisis.  All that they have put their hope/trust in is useless at that time.   Putting your hope in a women/man can't save you in a storm.  Putting your children on the throne in God's place will have you desolate and confused; because though, you LOVE your children dearly, they CAN'T EVER take the place of God.  The only way to stay safe from all harm in this storm called life is to be anchored to the Lord God Almighty!  He is the refuge; the righteous run in and are safe. 

Our God is the right and only insurance to have. "Blessed assurance Jesus is mine Oh what a foretaste of glory divine....."  The sailor soon discovered how awesomely powerful Jonah's God was/is and always will be.  Even in the midst of chastising Jonah; God still proved his awesome power to the sailors, His compassion for Nineveh and overall His incredible patience/love for Jonah.  Aren't you glad that God is God; and that he is your God?

If you haven't yet made God your God; then let me open the door.  Jesus is the door.  He said I am the way the truth and the light; no man comes to the Father without coming through me.  Ask Jesus to come into your heart today.  I have a prayer of repentance below.  GBU

Here's a simple prayer:

"Dear God I know I'm a sinner, I know I am not where I want to be, and I want your forgiveness!  I believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for my sins. Please wash me clean from all sin, shame, and guilt, come into my life Jesus to be my Lord and Savior.  I ask this in your name Jesus.  Amen!"

Next find yourself a great Bible believing church, Take time to read from the Bible, if you want, you can start with the Gospel of John in the New Testament.

Write me a line if you need more help or prayer, or just want to share the new found joy you just got from receiving Jesus into your heart!

Catch your second wind

Many good soldiers have gotten tired, and weary. You are frustrated because you think that God has blocked your way. It seems that He is letting all things fall away around you. That you don't know what to do. You feel like God has forsaken you just when you seem to need him most. You cry what seem like in vain. "Which way to go," you say and yet you still don't seem to see the way. Nothing seems clear, and you are discouraged, and drained; feeling like your strength has failed you. You feel like you've done everything right, and yet nothing good is happening. In the mist of all of this pressure; you are waiting on God; looking for him to come save you. You can't see how he will ever do it; He doesn't seem to want to come. Is he making you wait on purpose? Will you able to hold on any longer? Suddenly God swoops you up, and rescues you. You are His and never in this were you/are you alone. This is a season of seeing who is sincere. Lip service is over! Now only those who are anchored in God will be able to survive the race. You know as the race comes to the end; the fight becomes more intense. You gasp for oxygen; your muscles are exhausted and everything you've ran for now seems to make you want to quit simple because you are just so tired, but there is good new; there is a second wind if you can endure; the Holy Spirit will breath it into you; it will refresh you, and strengthen you to carry on till you win the prize. God gave us the power to bind and loose; so I release the wind of the Holy Spirit now to breath new life into you today that you may make this last stretch and win. Remember saints when the stakes are higher then the reward usually is greater. You're closer than you think; hold on; you're almost at the finish-line/your destiny. If you stop now; then you ran in vain, and that what you ran for will be given to the next one in line. Don't forfeit the race! Stay strong and win! WIN, I SAID!!!!---IN JESUS NAME. I SPEAK LIFE TO YOU TODAY!!!! GBU
HEAVEN IS THE FINISH LINE! DON'T GIVE UP UNTIL YOU FINISH THE RACE. LET NOTHING STOP YOU. EVEN IF YOU GET TIRED, REST BUT DON'T QUIT! KEEP PRESSING ON!!!

WHAT AM I SOWING TO SHOULD BE THE QUESTION THAT YOU ASK YOURSELF

Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. Galatians 6:8 You can feed the desires of your flesh, but what will you get in return but ruin? The flesh is eminity with God, but following what the Spirit desires leads to life. The Spirit desires to please God. SO LET THE SPIRIT LEAD YOU---it is a conscientious choice!!! Where He leads I will follow. GBU

TRYING TO OUT RUN GOD; TO GET AWAY FROM THE CALL/COMMAND

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1:3 But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction IN ORDER TO GET AWAY FROM THE lORD; He went down to the seacoast, to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for TARSHISH.  He bought a ticket and went on board, HOPING THAT BY GOING AWAY TO THE WEST HE COULD ESCAPE FROM THE LORD.  NLT

TODAY'S POST:  Jonah thought that by getting aboard the ship heading to Tarshish that he could out run God.  He wanted to get away from the call or the command of God, but even if Jonah had found himself at the ends of the earth; still God would be there.  There is no place on earth or in heaven that you can hide from God.  For those of you that may be running from the calling or the very thing that God has called you to do; you are only hurting yourself and prolonging the enivitable.  God's calling for  you is not of repentance----meaning God will not change his mind on what he has ordained you to do.  That is up to you if you want to keep running in the oposite direction---but when your time has run out and your number is called; God will ask, "why didn't you do what I commanded you to do? 

You may be in a unnecessary storm right now because  you are now headed in the opposite direction than what God has order you to go.  If you want success in your life; you've got to line up with the Master's plan.  Please let Jonah's story be a great example of what not to do.   The bible says that these stories are here for our example.

IF THE SHIP YOU ARE BOARDING DON'T TAKE YOU TO DO GOD'S WILL; THEN GET OFF!!!

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1: 3

TODAY'S POST:  Jonah FOUND; (say found) a ship that was headed AWAY; (say headed away) from where God had commanded him to go.  Let me tell you something, Satan isn't up to any new tricks.  He is always going to have a vehicle ready that will take you away from God's plan.  It might be a new boyfriend, a old friend that doen't want to see you saved, or a situation that tempts you to compromise or  to turn back on God.  Whatever he tries to use just remember this; it is your choice to board the ship.  By Jonah paying his fare for the ship he was deliberately doing his own thing.  By him doing this he was causing a negative consequence which was to cause his own storm.  We  can't expect anything less if we insist on doing things our own way instead of what God told us to do. 

Think of this:  God ALREADY knew when he had instructed Jonah to go to Nineveh; that he wouldn't go initially/the first time.  So by this time when he was boarding the ship God probably was saying to Himself----Jonah, Jonah, Jonah!  SMH; Must I teach you the hard way? 

We too are sometimes soooo strong willed too; thus we will have to go through SOME UNNECESSAY STUFF (perhaps even a violent storm like our brother Jonah went through.)  However; if we come out better for it then it is worth God's efforts to teach us. 

Please Repost; to help me spread the Good news!

PARTIAL OBEDIENCE IS STILL DISOBEDIENCE

Our lesson today is still coming from the book of Jonah.  So much to learn from this text.  Let's get started. 

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1:3  BUT Jonah GOT UP AND WENT (in the opposite direction in order to get away from the Lord.)
 
TODAY'S POST:  After God had commanded Jonah where to go and what to say...Jonah got up and went; BUT; see the BUT at the beginning of the scripture?  But; here is indicating that something bad is going to happen.  Don't you hear the music?  Jonah partially obeyed God here; for those of you who like to look at things in an optimistic way; he did ACTUALLY get up to go; BUT he went in the OPPOSITE direction.  OPPOSITE- meaning contrary to what was told of him.  Take for example a child; if you tell them to stop, but they go instead---they are in direct disobedience to your command.   Jonah was hoping to get away from what God was telling him to do.  In other words he was doing what he wanted to do; because he had his own feeling/agenda about the matter.  But as God's servant he was to do what his master commanded.  He had excepted those terms willingly.  Like we say, "Lord I will go where you want me to go, I will do what you want me to do."  We too willingly make God reign as King of kings, and Lord of lord in our lives.  So here Jonah violated the commanded of the Lord through partial obedience.  

PARTIAL DISOBEDIENCE- is still direct disobedience.  No matter the situation; if we act contrary to what God commands or tells us in His word; then we are in direct disobedience just like Jonah.  We may think we can help God or maybe we may have our own agenda like Jonah did; but we can never know God's reasoning for things.  God's wisdom is unmeasureable; so when we challenge God through our actions of being contrary to what he says then we are being arrogant  in the face of our creator.  That is like the creation telling the creator what to do.  The creator made the creation; so he knows what is best.  God had a purpose for sparing Nineveh and he has a purpose for what he commands us to do today.  We never know how many evangelists, pastors, teachers, or missonaries came out of Nineveh; but God wanted to have compassion on them, and so he did.  He is God; he can do whatever he wants to do.  Our job is to be sure we are submissive to his will; even if it is our enemies like Nineveh was to Israel/Jpnah's homeland (Israel).

What can we tell God that he doesn't already know?  What can we give him that he doesn't already own?  But our hearts given to Him in FULL OBEDIENCE is like a sweet savor in God's nostrils.  NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF WALKING IN OBEDIENCE and remember there is no such thing as partial obedience.  It's either ALL or NOTHING!!! 


A THOUGHT TO PONDER: What if the gospel wasn't preached to you or to your race of people because one person felt the need to share it with you because of his personal feelings? If God had let that happen; then many of us probably WON'T BE SAVED TODAY. None of deserved salvation; but God!!!! Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you Lord for overriding Jonah's decision.

Continued wickedness brings God's judgement

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1:2 God told Jonah to get up and go to the great city of Nineveh!  Announce my judgement against it because I have seen how wicked it's people are. 

TODAY'S POST:  Let's look at Judgement.  The definition of jugement is observing behavior and then pronouncing a punishment because of it.  God wanted Jonah to announce his judgement against the people----WHY?  Because of their wickedness/behavior.  You see;  we know that God sees and knows all; but we somehow take Him for granted because he has been so long suffering with us, and with the people.  But there does come a time; I believe that God will put a stop to our foolishness/sin if we won't take heed his warnings.  There are christians, pastors, deacons, church secretaries etc that are operating on treacherous grounds.  Why?  Because they are willingly practicing sin in their lives, and they think that the Lord will continue to have mercy.  That is why you have seen many celebrity ministers fall from grace.  Don't think that they didn't get a prophectic warning from God many times over.  These warnings  let them know that they were on dangerous grounds; headed for destructions and to turn from your wicked ways.  If they continued on their course then their destruction is on their own hands because they were warned. 

Some Churches are operating with manpower instead of by the spirit.  Sin runs rampid from the pulpits to the back doors; although, the building is still standing; I believe God will send his angels to write the Icabob above the door post- which means the spirit of the Lord don't dwell here anymore.  That is God's judgement; or take for instance a if a person keeps practicing an inquity for a long, long time---constantly ignoring the Holy Spirit to get it right-then judgement from the Lord will soon come.  God says that he will; not man; but he will turn them over to a reprobated mind.  What I am saying in this text that God loved the people enough to send a prophet to give them a warning of destruction because of their wicked ways if they didn't repent.  God is still saying the same thing today; yes he is merciful, but he is also Holy too and He hates sin.  So if you are practicing sin willingly; then know this:  that God sees you like he seen Nineveh.  IF YOU WON'T GET IT RIGHT THEN GOD'S JUDGEMENT WILL FALL UPON YOU; AND WE KNOW ACCORDING TO THE WORD; "IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.  Hebrews 10:31.  GBU

Get up and go

Scripture Text: Jonah 1:1 NLT
The Lord gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai: "GET YOU UP to the great city of Nineveh! Announce my judgement against it because I HAVE SEEN HOW WICKED IT'S PEOPLE ARE."

TODAY'S POST: The wickedness in the world doesn't go unnoticed by God; He sees and hears. SO GOD HAS GIVEN A WORD TO YOU; a word that speaks what thus saidth the Lord. This word that God ...has given you like Jonah could save MANY people; maybe even an entire city too, BUT THERE IS JUST ONE PROBLEM.....you haven't gotten up yet to go tell the people. God told Jonah to GET UP AND GO. TO GET UP REQUIRES OUR EFFORTS. GOD HAS ALREADY DONE HIS PART BY GIVEN US THE MESSAGE. You see...no matter how anointed you are; it is of no use unless you GET UP from your idleness/complecancy; and ACTUALLY deliver the message to the people. God said how can they hear without a preacher? You may not have a specific place to go; but you can be available so God can use you at anytime and any moment. I have had God to interupt my errands for the day to have me to go meet with some stranger that He needed me tp minister to.

Just last week I was doing my nails and I had been freindly to this young women; by the end of our conversation she had stated to me over and over that she was convined that God had sent me. I have no doubt that our incounter will greatly impact the young women's life, Praise God! To God be the glory!!

There is ALWAYS someone from Nineveh that is headed for destruction or who is struggling with life. Will you not only HEAR the message? Will you ACTUALLY get up and go (in faith) and deliver it to them. PERHAPS THEY WILL HEAR YOU/RECEIVE THE WORD, AND REPENT LIKE NINEVEH DID. GBU
