FRUITBEARING

How to bear Fruit:
It took me a long while to understand the Christian walk..for a long while I asked God" How do I bear fruit"..then one day he lead me to 2peter 1:5-10. Well I tell you when I got the instructions I was so happy..but it took me a long time to follow them well (and i am still learning to "add" as the scriptures says). The christian life is one big learning process with the word of God as our instructions..and i truly believe if we just did what his word said to the "t" we would not have any fault before him...One day our Bishop was preaching and he said that the devil cannot touch our gift..but he can touch our character to diminish the gift..this stuck out to me be cause I am very much still a work in progress. I can't tell you how many time I have fallen short of God's glory and felt so inadequate because of my short comings..not because of my inabilities but because of my sin that caused me to lack in the power of God..Over the years Jesus has told me that he cannot pour new wine(his spirit) in to old wine skin(my old life)or else it will destroy me. I had to die to the old way of life and it was hard very hard at first..almost suicidal hard..but God kept me..One day I was ready to give up not on God but life and he lead to Lu 22:31 -32 And the Lord said,........... 31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.I kid you not IMMEDIATELY the word of God revived me. I was and still am so grateful to God for his faithfulness. in Reading this scripture the thing that stood out to me most :when thou art converted, God in his way so kind and loving told me that I wasn't converted but I would be..I held on to that Scripture and still do because he said that when I am converted meaning I WILL BE CHANGED, doing all things his way. I trust God I know that he will help me.. and all his people.I give him praise. he is not man that he should lie.I thank God that today I am not what i used to be.. What i need from God is for him to help me to continue in integrity and consistency...Because I want the gift that he has given me to not be hindered. Please make sure that you read 2peter1:5-10 to find out what they are. In time i will post other nuggets that he has lead me to apply and they will help because his word is there to help. Amen. have a blessed day!

PRAISE

This Is The day that the Lord has made We will rejoice and be glad in it:
You Know this may seem like a hard thing but with practice and time it comes easy.
The Bible says that Praise is comely to the upright. I will never forget one day when I was feeling down and I was sitting on my sofa focusing on what I was going thru and that scripture came to my spirit....I am not trying to be deep just real. When I thought about that, I said to myself..I am upright so that means that I should be praising God....right?..yes...Hallelujah!!. At fist I wasn't but the word of Christ is a mirror and when I saw what i wasn't doing that I began to do it. The flesh will constantly tug and pull at you and gnaw at you very soul but if you don't use, the SWORD of the spirit which is the word of God(Ephesians's 6:17) you will always be defeated.the weakness and disinterest you may feel and lack of strength is because you are not spiritually built up.
To praise God is sometimes a consistent battle , it takes alot of faith to look past how you feel and what we see and choose to believe God. Just because you don't "Feel" like it doesn't mean you don't do. God's word is true speak until you believe it. It takes perseverance lots of it and strength and the power of God. this is how it works(do it all even when you don't feel like it this will help build your spiritual muscle)the word of God says that the,Kingdom of God is not in word but in power 1corinthians4:20. God not only looks at what we say but mostly at what we do.
1. Pray
2.Obey
3.Fast
4.obey
5.worship
6.obey
7.praise
8.obey
9.deny old man(Roman8:5-14,Ephesians4:32)
10.follow new man(1peter1:5-10)

We have to understand that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places Ephesians 6:12. The enemy of our souls wants us to constantly focus on ourselves and our problems this my friend is self worship idol worship, you are making your self a god and Jesus says that he will have no other gods before him. we as Christians have to understand that this is the only weapon that satan understand along with worship and a pure clean life.
*****please note you cannot live how you want to live and talk about i will just praise God anyway it doesn't work like that. your life must line up with the word of God. To be safe anything that God does not agree with and that is not in agreement with his word is sin.*****
A sword is used to cut and destroy use the spiritual sword. you can not fight satan with flesh he is a spirit you have to fight with the word of God. remember the word of God is quick and powerful sharper than a twoedged sword.
So Let the High praise of God be in your mouth and a twodeged sword in your hand Psalm 149:6. Use it to fight the good fight of faith lay hold on eternal life 1timothy6:12

Will you Die on purpose?

If some one had an antidote and you knew that it would save your life, would you take it. Of course you would your no fool. Right? Whosoever believes in Christ God will in no wise cast out. Jesus is the one and only cure for sin. His word says that Jesus is the way the truth and the light no one cometh to the father but thru him. Jesus has made it possible for you to have eternal life. Its not a figment of any ones imagination or a fantasy. Eternal life is real.JESUS is real. Everyone is going to go some where to spend eternity. What you do in this life determines where that will be. Your no fool or are you?

A WORD TO THE WISE:

Whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that WHOSOEVER believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Jone 3:15-16.



I tell you Nay: but except ye REPENT ye shall all like wise perish. Luke 13:15



A WORD TO THE UNBELIEVER:

So are the paths of all that forget God and the hypocrite's hope shall perish. Job 8:13



In closing I would like to say that as always the Choice is yours. You are free to do or serve who ever or what ever you please. But if its not God it all worth NOTHING. Please serve him today.

May God grace and mercy be revealed to you this day. AMEN!

Today the topic consist of the Love of God. the bible says that for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16. Are you the "WHOSOEVER. God lovingly says who so ever will may come. The most important part of this verse in my opinion is "will". Man has to want to serve God. you see we are not robots. We must choose to serve God from our hearts. I don't think that you would want love from a person that really doesn't want to love you back. It wouldn't feel real and you probably would feel offended. God gave man a great gift called choice. The choice's that you make in life whether or not you are spiritual( according to the Holy Bible) will determine where you spend eternity. there is only one way and that is thru Christ the eternal God Jesus. God Bless you.

IT'S GODS WAY OR NO WAY!!!!

I truly believe that it is very important for us to understand who we are as human beings, where we come and why we do what we do from a Spiritual stand point as well as naturally. I want to make it very plain that I am not talking about the World's or Hollywoood's way of being spiritual but Christs according to the HOLY BILBLE. There are two pathsIn life one leads to destruction the other leads to everlasting life. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. This is not a game there is life after death but where will you spend it. I know that some may say its nonsense but do you actually want to stand before a Holy God and realize that you have been wrong,by then it will be to late. So in turn The Lord himself has given you the gift of time and years so you could have an opportunity to Repent if you would like to chat more please do so. : If Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior then you are not saved in order for this to happen you must confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that he is Lord, he said that if you confess your sin he is just and able to forgive you your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. God can and will do it. But we must let him. He will not override our will. Salvation is in no other name but in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then we must turn stop doing what we were doing before, when you become a new creation he (CHRIST) says that old thing have passed away behold all things become new. Now it is a process but there should always be Growth in Christ. We no longer do things the old way we then start to do thing Christ's way and this is found out by reading his word. Thank you and May God himself save you.
