Pray without ceasing!!

I have found then when you are down and out it always gets worse quicker then it gets better. People love to kick you when you are down, and leave you feeling hopeless as much as they can. Some people get so far in that they turn away from GOD, and that is never a good choice. Sometimes a good prayer can be all you need to get out of the situation. The Bible says in Pslams 4:8 "In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety." It is important to note that GOD would not allow you to go through anything he didn't know you could make it through. This does not mean that it will be easy; but, because you are going through it, you can be assured that for you it is not impossible. A prayer is stronger when it is not done alone,  The Bible says in Matthew 18:20  "For where two or more gather in my name, there am I with them.” A prayer should not be stiff and formal, it is your conversation with GOD, and it is yours alone. Some may tell you that you must say this or must say that, but it is not true. There is only one thing that is asked of you during your prayer, in some way pray in the "Name of Jesus" the Bible says in John 14:14 "If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it." Jesus also instructed his disciples on how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13 "This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'" Ask anyone who is in touch with GOD and has witnessed the glory of his grace and you will see first hand the power of prayer. The holy spirit is always around us, watching and waiting to in power those who are weak, enlighten those who are in the dark, and befriend those who are friendless. "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24. When you fall, there is a hand always there to help you up, just reach out and grab it. Prayer is the answer to your problems and the tool that will make your obstacle manageable. However, prayer is not just a key to changing the negatives in your life, but a necessity to the preservation of your blessings. You see god speaks to us through his written word: The Bible. We respond and stay in contact in the same respect through prayer. Prayer is an important part of the Christian’s life; we pray in words and sometimes we pray in song. The bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing". Some will pray mighty prayers in places of worship but present no true heart. Praying for the recognition of the people in the congregation, not for the glory of god. It goes without saying that this will provide no reward, applause and admiration in that moment possibly, but no true reward will be found for them. The bible calls these people hypocrites in Matthew 6:5, then instructs the more appropriate course of action in Matthew 6:6 "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." To clarify prayer in the name of Jesus or no does not mean that a ridiculous request such as a million dollars will not be guaranteed, but the plan will be laid before you. Pray for peace, healing, strength, enlightment, patience, or anything and it will be given. Go forward with the power of the great I AM, and the blessing of the Lamb into the future that you pave for yourself. Pray without ceasing and watch your life prosper. Be Blessed.

My Provider

Sometimes we need something, ask no one, and we still get what we need. And, when this happens you go to the person you think helped you, just to find out that they don't know what is going on. At this time your mind will race, thinking "Who could have done this for me?". You really just want to thank your savior, and no one on the planet seems to be responsible for the gift. Some would leave it be and just go on with out thanking anyone, but you should thank GOD. The bible says in Matthew 6:31-32 "Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all." Your provider, and mine is Jehovah Jireh-The Lord Who Provides. When you are helped and cannot explain the way, or identify who helped you, in a way you can feel angry, not because you were blessed, but because you cannot thank the person who helped you. GOD works through generous people to help those in need, and needs no thanks. He does this because he loves us. The bible says in Romans 5:1-21 "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. ..." GOD is generous beyond belief, no one can provide for you like he can, your wants, you needs, everything is obtainable through him. It is important to remember that with him you are everything, but without him you are nothing. Without him a grain of salt has more value then your entire life. This is a reality that some just don't know about or just don't accept. The Bible says in Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." GOD will provide your smallest need just as much as your largest need, all you need to do is ask, and he will willing give to you. Sometimes you can ask and it will be almost instant, other times you have to wait, but either way you will make it through. The Bible says first in Matthew 21:22 "And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” and then in John 13:14 "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." See providing is just what GOD does best, he provided a way for us to be saved from sin, he provided us with ways to eat, air to breathe, and the entire planet that we live on. And, you will see that in your life he will continue to provide. Now, when god provides it can be a mystery person, or it can be a direct contact with the person who blesses you, they were moved to help you and answered the call, but in all of that GOD is there.You may see that you will never see the person again, or even hear from them, in this case you most likely met an angel. The Bible says in Psalms 103:20 "Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word!" In cases like this you really pray that you can see them again, but you won't, they were sent to help you in your time of dire need, and provided by Jehovah Jireh. But, by thanking GOD you show that you are appreciative, and will be provided for again. A blessing from an unknown person can be a return of a blessing that you have given, bless to be blessed, coming to life. The Bible says in Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Bless to be Blessed!

Today I was told about a major blessing that I was given, details spared I really needed it. When you give to others you feel good, like you haven't wasted your time, especially when the person shows their appreciation. The bible says in Deuteronomy 15:10 "You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him: because that for this thing the LORD your God shall bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your hand to." Bless to be blessed is the idea that the bible puts before the servants of the Lord Christ Jehovah Jireh-The Lord who provides. Give without fear of loss in your house hold, GOD will provide for those who provide for others. The Bible says in Proverbs 3:27 "Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it." But, it must be warned that giving to gain satisfaction from another person is not the thing the bible is instructing us to do. The Bible says in Matthew 6:1 "Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven." So perhaps this is a confusing message today. Give not to satisfy your needs but to satisfy another's, and rest assured that Jehovah Jireh will satisfy your needs beyond your own imagination. Also be aware that the person you bless may need you more than anyone else in the world, and you can be the answer to their weeping prayers. The Bible Says in Hebrews 13:1-2 "Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it." Now hospitality in this verse does not necessarily mean inviting them into your home, unless that is the blessing you are moved to provide. A meal when you have no food can be the biggest blessing in the world. It means being kind to them, and helping those who need it most, without expecting in return. Now, do all blessings require giving something of value? The answer is no, sometimes what the person who needs the blessing, or you feel is in need of the blessing can only need a hug, or a complement. Sometimes the smallest blessing to you can mean the world to someone else. The Bible says in Acts 20:35 "I have showed you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." Some may wonder "How can it be more blessed to give then receive?" or even "What does me giving my stuff away that I worked for do for me?". Both questions are irrelevant, GOD does not bless you and ask how does this benefit me, GOD simply does so because He is in the position to do so. But, to answer your question the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully." See Bless to be Blessed! The concept is extraordinary, you can give, and receive in giving from GOD. However, it is important to remember not to only help those who do good to you but also those who do bad by you. The Bible says in Matthew 5:42-45 "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." A powerful word, bless those who curse you, the idea seems insane, you hurt me so I love you? But, this concept is not meant to be easy to achieve. It will never be easy to see an enemy in struggle and extend your hand to say I am here. But when you do, you may close a door with an enemy, and open one with a friendship. Giving to someone can be done in anyway, and is always appreciated; Whether the person is stubborn and wont accept it right away out of foolish pride, or they take it without question knowing that you want to bless them. You may find that you will gain the most satisfaction from Jehovah Jireh when you give to someone with out them knowing it was you, or that it was even done.A mystery donation to a church, paying the rent for a loved one who is in the struggle, helping a sleeping homeless person by putting some money or food in his hand/pocket. These blessings are only examples, but giving without reason, or responsibility, will show those blessed that they are not alone and that god is watching over them. When having trouble finding the will to give to another remember what Jehovah Elohim-The Lord our Creator gave to us, the Bible says in John 3:16 "For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life."

Spread The Word!!

Today someone close to me said "You are living in sin, you don't have a title, what gives you the right to preach to someone else?" I replied "Nothing, I don't need a reason or title to spread the word." She didn't understand me and simply kept repeating the question. So I looked up the reason I have the right to spread the word of GOD, and found that it was GOD given. Jeremiah 5:1 says “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Now this is a right given too all before the womb of your mother, you are meant to teach, even if you are in sin yourself. Jesus died for us to be able to do so. 1 Peter 4:1 says "Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,", anyone can preach to anyone. The word of GOD is not subject to discrimination, nor are those who spread it. To some of the other things that were said to me by this person close to me, I have this verse to counter the negativity, Isaiah 54:17 says "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that rises against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. For this is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me saith the LORD." This is what the bible says to do to those that judge you, in accordance with what they feel is right, and wrong. I find it to be a valuable scripture because it also says that curses, and other forms of harm put to you shall not prosper while in the service of the LORD. This does not mean that someone can shoot you in the head and that your body will not be harmed, but it means that even so your spirit will be fully protected. And, on the occasion of a miracle, you may live still and are more prone to by serving the LORD. I don't claim that by simply believing you can remain unharmed because GOD gave the devil dominion of the Earth, and Hell, and therefore some people will fall in darkness and try to harm you, and may succeed in doing so, but with GOD you will be safe in the spirit and will not be lead to fall also. On the topic of judgement to further illuminate the bible says in Matthew 7:1-3 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"  See when you judge another you lead yourself to be judged before you enter into the gates of heaven. So why bother to risk your eternal life to giving your judgement to a person that you have no right in the eyes of GOD to judge? The word of GOD is not meant to be kept to ones self, and their should be no higher priority then spreading it. Do not take the blessing of spreading the word and under appreciate it, it is a good thing. I close with this verse from Hebrews 10 24:25 "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."

False Reverend Message

This is a message I delivered to a Craigslist scammer who was claiming to be a Reverend by the alias of Page T. Newton, and I was moved to respond to his email in an informative, and disgusted manner. The email is as follows:

I find it blasphemous to claim to be a servant of the church of GOD, to provide a false sense of security, and lure in a kind-hearted true servant of GOD, no one believes your post and you are all over the internet listed on millions of spammer reporting sites, but I have to say something to you about messing around with GOD, and the consequences that it holds on the day of your death, "You Shall Not Steal" being one of GOD's commandments given to the Israelites on the journey to the promised land. GOD does not like liars, and to say Honesty Matters after telling a total lie is repulsive, and dishonorable to say the least. To try and cheat someone who works hard for a living into a major scam is terrible. And, please don't try and lie again to cover your ass, I have your next two messages down at the bottom of the email. I hope that when you look in the mirror before you sleep on the bed that MY GOD provided for you that you see the ugly that you have made yourself, and I don't mean physically, I mean in the spirit. GOD does not like when you use his name in vain, and he does not like sin. He does not turn his back on you, you turn on him, but in sin he cannot stand to be around you. The bible says in Matthew 27:45 "From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?' --Which means, 'My GOD, My GOD, why have you forsaken me?'" See GOD, the same GOD you claim to serve falsely could not stand to be around Jesus for about a few mins because of him becoming sin itself. This act of sacrifice being the same reason that you can actually repent and still gain access to the kingdom of heaven. But as I was saying Jesus cried out Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Because he felt GOD leave him even for those few minutes, and it must have been painful, if god have left your side you would be crying out just the same, and even if you haven't accepted Jesus Christ: Jehovah Rophe:The Lord Who Heals-Jehovah Tsidkenu:The Lord Our Righteousness-Jehovah Shalom:The Lord Our Peace-Jehovah Nissi:The Lord Our Banner-Jehovah Shammah-The Lord is Present, and his many other names as your savior, you can still do so. As you blasphemously quote the scripture of John 3:16 "For GOD so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son the who so ever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life" That same passage that before now I am sure you have not read was for you, and yes specifically you. It is for everyone as a whole, and individually just the same. James 5:4 “[But] look! [Here are] the wages that you have withheld by fraud from the laborers who have reaped your fields, crying out [for vengeance]; and the cries of the harvesters have come to the ears of the Lord of hosts.”  Think on what you have stolen from others through your vindictive lies, repent, and stop. "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12.
