Prayer

Trusting in the Lord

The ladies and I pulled our chairs together forming a circle.  We read First Kings 18:37-39 and Acts 3:1-6.  Then talked about how to apply these Scriptures to our lives. A demonstration of God's power caused the people to cry: the Lord, He is God! In Acts when Peter spoke to the crippled man there was another demonstration of divine power. God wants us to trust Him to demonstrate His power through us so that our loved ones will come to know Him.  It was then one lovely young woman spoke: I have a trust issue and become fearful when I think that God wants me to do something.  We could identify with her and asked God to help us grow in grace that we might learn to trust Him more.

PRAYER:
To the glory of the Father I welcome you, Holy Spirit. I'm so grateful that You are my Helper as I prepare for the New Year. I humble myself before You asking for Divine Guidance.  In Jesus’ name I commit myself anew to Your plans and purposes, tha t I might run the full race completing the destiny to which You have called me.  I trust in You, Lord, I put my full confidence in You and Your word, and delight myself in You.  Father-God, be glorified in my life throughout the coming year as never before, in Jesus name.  Amen.

          Psalm 37:3-5; Isaiah 26:4; James 4:10

Pass Church Hurt .... Let Go and Be Healed

Pass Church Hurt …. Let Go and be Healed …


I have been talking to God, who is my best friend. In your lifetime, why are you looking for approval, respect, mercy, apology, appreciation and the welfare of others?  The word is GRUDGE, words have meaning this is why I tell people be carefully of words. We must be very careful what we plot at a distance, lest we follow through when close. Nothing is harmless about a grudge. The Greek word for “nursed a grudge against” means “to be held in or by anything; to be entangled in something, be enmeshed, to be subject to.”  Holding grudge, nearly everyone has been hurt by the actions or words of another.  These wounds can leave you with lasting feelings of anger, bitterness and even vengeance — but if you don't practice forgiveness, you may be the one who pays most dearly. By embracing forgiveness, you embrace peace, hope, gratitude and joy. One of the things How Church Leader goes around hurting people of God. I don’t understand why, but one thing I know is “TRUTH” always comes to the table …. Forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The act that hurt or offended you may always remain a part of your life, but forgiveness can lessen its grip on you and help you focus on other, positive parts of your life. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the one who hurt you.
Forgiveness doesn't mean that you deny the other person's responsibility for hurting you, and it doesn't minimize or justify the wrong. You can forgive the person without excusing the act. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life. If you allow negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you may find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. In doing some further study, I saw that the word grudge is found quite often in the scriptures and we are warned against grudging. (Leviticus 19:18, James 5:9, 1 Peter 4:9) The scriptures refer instead to loving your neighbor as yourself and forgiving others as you have been forgiven by God so as to prevent any bitterness from growing. (Galatians 5:14, Matthew 6:12, Ephesians 4:31, Hebrews 12:15)  But I thank God for Freedom....

Keep looking for the Butterflies

Hello People,     

God was speaking to me about BUTTERFLIES. They symbolizes change, talk to God about Wisdom and everlasting Knowledge. Like a Butterfly, we are all different and beautiful in our own way. The key word is METAMORPHOSIS a Butterfly and other things undergo this process. It is symbolic of the spiritual evolution ALL CHRISTIANS go through *** Rebirth & New Beginning ***. We have the new life from and old one *** TRANSFORMATION ***. When you see a BUTTERFLY let is remind you to make changes when the opportunity arises.  People change and transformation are inevitable for us ALL, but it does not to be traumatic. In my Women Group “Women of Inheritance” I have been talking about FREEDOM.

 There is joy, peace, love and etc...

 In GOD. Christ Redemption and Regeneration   *** BORN AGAIN *** WE become *** NEW CREATION ***
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.(2Cor.5:17)The renewed man acts upon new principles, by new rules, with new ends, and in new company. The believer is created anew; his heart is not merely set right, but a new heart is given him. He is the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Though the same as a man, he is changed in his character and conduct. These words must and do mean more than an outward reformation. The man who formerly saw no beauty in the Saviour that he should desire him, now loves him above all things. The heart of the unregenerate is filled with enmity against God, and God is justly offended with him. Yet there may be reconciliation. Our offended God has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ. By the inspiration of God, the Scriptures were written, which are the word of reconciliation; showing that peace has been made by the cross, and how we may be interested therein. Though God cannot lose by the quarrel, nor gain by the peace, yet he beseeches sinners to lay aside their enmity, and accept the salvation he offers. Christ knew no sin. He was made Sin; not a sinner, but Sin, a Sin-offering, a Sacrifice for sin. The end and design of all this was, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, might be justified freely by the grace of God through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. Can any lose, labour, or suffer too much for Him, who gave his beloved Son to be the Sacrifice for their sins, that they might be made the righteousness of God in him?

Do you understand the Job?

Do you understand the Job?

Everybody wants to be a Prophet/Prophetess but you got to flow in_______. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.” (Revelation 2:29)

We need to listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church.

Some people think that a prophet/Prophetess must give personal prophecies to qualify to walk in the office of a prophet. That’s partially true. He will give personal prophecies, but his revelation gifting goes far beyond personal prophecy. Personal prophecy is the lowest prophetic operation of the true prophet. I say that because some have hyper-focused on personal prophecy and miss the big picture of the prophet’s ministry. Prophetic ministry is a wonderful gift from God. Prophets also:

·         Are forerunners who make a way for “greater things” to come (Matthew 3:3)?

·         Deal with spiritual climates (Jeremiah 1:10).

·         Turn people from sin to holiness (Jeremiah 23:21-22).

·         Are front line intercessors (Jeremiah 27:18)?

·         Turn the hearts of fathers and sons (Malachi 4:5-6).

·         Challenge dead traditions of men and dangerous spirits of religion (Matthew 3:9-10).

·         Are stewards of the mysteries of God (Ephesians 3:5)?

·         Carry lamentations, mourning and woe (intercession burdens) (Ezekiel 2:10).

·         Are fore-tellers of things to come (Amos 3:7)?

·         Contend with false prophets of divination including Jezebel and Baal (1 Kings 18:19).

·         Challenge demonic territorial guards (Acts 13:7).

·         Speak to the nations and kingdoms (Jeremiah 1:5).

“Seven Laws” for success From Mike Murdock

I recently came across Mike Murdock of Inspiration Ministries “Seven Laws” for success in life thanks to another Facebook Friend. I’m recapping them here because I think they are great lessons for contemplation and reflection and provide a template for what some may consider the 7 laws you need to ponder, harness and/or live by to have true success in life. They are:

Law # 1 The Law of difference
This is having the wisdom to be able to discern difference. What makes you different from everyone else. What problem can you solve?

Law#2 The Law of the MindKnowing how to focus the mind, to rule the mind, to make the mind work for you, not let the mind control you. To learn, to be focused, to concentrate, to have a picture in your mind of what you want and go for it, like visualization. See it. Have pictures up on the wall.

Law# 3 The Law of Recognition
The thing you need is there; it’s just a matter of recognizing it. If there’s something missing in your life, there’s more than likely something you’re not seeing. Most of the time it’s right in front of your face but you are so conditioned and so distracted that you don’t see it. I like this one a lot. Tai chi helps with this, and taking the time for contemplation and meditation. What are you not seeing?

Law #4 The Law of 2
Mike Murdoch speaks of the power of covenant, and that the difference in seasons is a person. One person can change your life in 24 hours. All you need is one person to recognize what is special about you, to take you on as a mentor to you, to enter into a covenant with you. Who is that person?

Law #5 The Law of Place
Where you are is as important as what you are. Mike Murdoch speaks of Jesus, who had to leave his hometwown and preach elsewhere to be recognized. When you are where you belong, your genius emerges. So it behooves us to consider whether we are where we need to be, and if not, where is that place.

Law #6 The Law of Honor
Your future is determined by who you have chosen to honor. You must have a code of honor. Honor is a seed that will outlast a lifetime.

Law #7 The Law of the Seed
Our offerings to God are seeds that produce a harvest. There are many types of seeds in our life. Honor is the seed for access, kindness is a seed, time is a seed, love is a seed, teaching is a seed, giving is a seed. This law is to work in the financial arena as well


Which of these laws is most important to you?

God has me study the Book of James. What does the Book of James means to you?

I want to talk about the Book of James Chapter 1. Which verse or verses you like in Chapter 1 ?James Chapter 1 we learn how Christians are to deal with trials and temptations that undoubtedly will come our way. We also learn that we are to be not only to be hearers, but doers of the Word of God.  The verse I like is verse 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
 6 Perfect things in James 1:4

• Perfect work of patience (1:4)
• Perfect knowledge (Phil.3:15)
• Perfect gifts (1:17)
• Perfect law of liberty (1:25)
• Perfect faith by works (2:22)
• Perfect man by restraint (3:2)

 Why should we be swift to hear and slow to speak as James teaches us in James Chapter 1 verse 19? What are three things we can do to become “faster” hearers and “slower” speakers?

We should be swift to hear and slow to speak because it will promote peace and understanding in our relationships with one another. We want peace because, as verse 20 says, an angry man does not bring about or work the righteousness of God. It is better to esteem others before ourselves (Philippians 2:3).

To become a faster hearer:

• Don’t interrupt
• Listen with a focus on understanding
• Try to paraphrase the information back to the speaker if possible
• Take notes while listening
• Don’t speak while listening
• Remove distractions
• Concentrate on what is being said
• Listen with the intent on understanding why the message is being provided
• Discern if there is some action required on the part of the listener
• Give non-verbal encouragement to the speaker to show him or her you are engaged in the act of listening intently
• Ask God to give you patience to understand the speaker
• Pray that God will allow you to understand clearly
• Ask clarifying questions – “What do you mean by. . .”
• Ask confirming questions - “Are you saying that if. . . “
• Try to avoid thinking of how you will respond while the other person is speaking

To become a slower speaker:

• Wait until the person is finished talking before you speak (see #1 above)
• Pray silently before you speak
• Pause before answering
• Say, “Let me think about that for a second.” and do it
• “Hold your peace” or wait until someone asks your opinion before you speak
• Choose your words carefully and deliberately
• Be concise and to the point
• Before offering a response or speaking consider whether your proposed speech is in line with God’s Word
• Before you speak, ask yourself “Is this how Jesus would respond?”
• If possible seek the counsel of a fellow Christian to formulate a response

Witchcraft- Church ??

 WITCHCRAFT

When religious activity is not spiritually motivated but carnally motivated it releases a form of witchcraft. Witchcraft is a power that influences people, gives a place to demon activity, battles against the minds of men, challenges the Church of Jesus Christ, buffets the maturity of believers, hinders church growth, comes against families, marriages and relationships, and frustrates the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Witchcraft can be released through the rebellious and the stubborn, both actions described in the Word of God as workings of the flesh. Scripture says, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” (Galatians 3:1-3).

Notice the words bewitched, spirit and flesh. The word bewitched, means to be charmed, seduced, or to be placed under a spell. The writer of Galatians ties witchcraft to the manifesting or workings of the flesh. The meaning of flesh in this scripture is the meaning the carnal mind, or better described as the earthly nature of man apart from the Spirit of God. A person, therefore, who is “governed” by the actions of the flesh, can release witchcraft upon himself or others.
Religion also releases witchcraft when it intentionally avoids the ministry of the Holy Spirit. scripture says, “Having a form of godliness but denying the power-dunamis thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5) This religious counterfeit can be identified because it looks like the Church, yet is carnally motivated and disregards the necessity of the power of God. That power is the ministry of the Holy Spirit Himself.

There are many religious people in the world who say they are born again yet attack the ministry of the Holy Spirit. They challenge the baptism of the Holy Spirit, miracles, and healing today, speaking in other tongues, prophecy, deliverance, fervent prayer, the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, and much more. Rather than have Holy Spirit administered lives, ministries, and churches, they hold fast to man-made programs, vain traditions, and secular social activities.

Religion releases witchcraft when it is governed by the flesh rather than the Spirit of God. It was religious people, supposedly born again, that persistently stirred up trouble for the Apostle Paul. (Acts 15).

The basics of religion are a lack of spiritual sensitivity, hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and a form of godliness that denies the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Just get around a person who has that nasty, contentious religious spirit and you will experience the working of witchcraft from religion.

The good news is that we can, through our love for Jesus Christ, crucify that old carnal nature. scripture instructs us to take off our old corrupted manner of living and put on the new man, which is created in righteousness and true holiness in God’s likeness (Ephesians 4:22-24).

How do I forgive myself?

How do I forgive myself?

I Hope we all realize that struggling under self- condemnations

is in not the Way of God wants us to live. These are some of the steps:

Acknowledge: To recognize that you have not forgiven yourself. Face up to this

fact, and begin to deal with the issue.

Repent: Tell the Lord that you realize your self- condemnation is a sin. Then

accept and thank Him for His forgiveness.

Believe God: Reaffirm your trust in the truth of Scripture. God says He removed

your transgression as far as the east is from the west.

Choose Forgiveness: Based on God's Word, by an act of your will, in faith,

choose to forgive yourself. Please notice that feelings aren't mentioned

anywhere in these steps. Each one is a choice based on truth, not emotions.

Stop replaying in your mind the old recording of your sin, which stirs up

guilt, but instead replay the truths of Scripture. Freedom from the prison of

guilt and regret is only a choice away. Jesus came to set the captives free (Luke 4:18)

As you take hold of His forgiveness and release your guilt, you’ll walk out of that jail of

Self- condemnation into the joy of abundant life.

Friendship? Are you a friend ?

Friendship
When you have a personal relationship with a person what would you expect?

•  To spend quality time with each other
•  To trust each other with heart-felt needs
•  To forgive when you hurt each other’s feelings
•  To be honest
•  To communicate (letters, notes, email, telephone)
•  To be there in the tough times

How much more of a friend is Jesus to us than any human?
He promised to never leave us nor forsake us.
     Joshua 1:5 “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave your nor forsake you.”
He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
     Proverbs 18:24 “There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
     John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down His life for his friends.”

Prayers That Avail Much-

Success of a Meeting
Father, in the name of Jesus, we approach the throne of grace boldly and confidently. May the Word of God come forth accurately and in love during the _Women of Inheritance - Women Group__ meeting. We ask You to anoint each speaker to teach and preach the Word of God in simplicity, with boldness and with accuracy during the entire meeting. We ask that those who hear will not be able to resist the wisdom and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that will be spoken through Your ministers of the Gospel.
As Your Word is taught, we ask You to cause people to open their spiritual eyes and ears that they might turn from darkness to light — from the power of Satan to You, Father — and that they will personally confess Jesus as their Lord.
We commit this meeting to You, Father; we deposit it into Your charge — entrusting this meeting, the people who will hear, and the people who will speak into Your protection and care. We commend this meeting to the Word — the commands and counsels and promises of Your unmerited favor. Father, we know that Your Word will build up the people and cause them to realize that they are joint-heirs with Jesus.
We believe, Father, that as Your Word comes forth, an anointing will be upon the speaker(s), and _____Prophetess Toni Teagle ___will be submitted completely to the Holy Spirit, for the Word of God that is spoken is alive and full of power, making it active, operative, energizing and effective, being sharper than any two-edged sword. We ask You to meet the need of every person spiritually, physically, mentally, and financially.
We thank You, Father, and praise You that, because we have asked and agreed together, these petitions have come to pass. Let these words with which we have made supplication before the Lord be near to the Lord our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause and right of His people in the _Women of Inheritance- Women Group _(meeting) as each day of it requires! We believe that all the earth’s people will know that the Lord is God and there is no other! Hallelujah! Amen.

Seven Sins Against the Holy Spirit

Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the LORD HATES, seven that are DETESTABLE to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

The book of Proverbs is all about wisdom versus foolishness. Proverbs 26:25 says, speaking of the foolish person who rejects wisdom, "When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart." A person who does not fear God does not have understanding, does not walk in righteousness, and has no regard for the truth. He may be pleasant, well-mannered, polite, gracious, and an interesting communicator, but the fool is full of deceit, holding seven abominations in his heart. Proverbs 6:16-19 explains what these abominations are, these seven things that God hates:

God hates haughty eyes. Haughty implies lifting or exalting oneself up, pride, arrogance, and being consumed with self. Haughtiness is driven by looking down on others, an attitude of superiority and a lack of trust in God. God hates a lying tongue .Lying makes love impossible, truth difficult to find, and relationships awfully hard to sustain. God hates hands that shed innocent blood. God wants people, churches, and nations who live with integrity and who can be beacons of hope for others, standing on behalf of the innocent.

God hates a heart that devises wicked plans. He wants our thought lives to be honoring to Him, seeking His will and His kingdom, rather than plotting a way to do something wrong. God hates feet that run rapidly to evil.  We need to be like God, hating evil, rather than running fast to do it. God hates a false witness who utters lies. False witnesses who wrongly defame the reputation of others are a great evil in God's sight. We need to be careful of who we endorse lest we, thinking we are witnessing for the truth, are witnessing for what is false.

God hates one who spreads strife among brothers. We can spread strife by picking fights, by lying, by tempting, by teasing, and by just being difficult and having a bad attitude. Some people prefer contention and combat rather than peace and harmony. We should see growth and progression over time as the Holy Spirit gets rid of foolish habits, thoughts, attitudes, and actions. As Proverbs 4:18 says, "But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter until the full day." This God loves.

Seeds

Seeds
* A seed is alive: it contains life.
 There is only one way to prove a seed is alive -- plant it.
* A seed does nothing until planted.
Seeds do not grow sitting in a sack on your shelf. They must be planted in the proper place.
If you desire the Word of God to produce in your life, you must decide to plant the Word in your heart,mind and soul.
The best way to plant the seed of God's Word in your life is by speaking the Word. Hearing others speak the Word is good -- but will not produce as bountiful a harvest as speaking the Word yourself.
Speaking God's Word with your mouth is essential. As we speak God's Word we are planting the seed in our heart for the harvest of results we desire.
ROMANS 10:10 NKJ 10 For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. Whatever you need to be saved or delivered from, confession (what you say) is essential.
* A seed is much smaller than the plant it produces.
The problem you face may seem huge. In comparison, a scripture may seem very small. But when planted, that Word will grow in you and overcome the problem.
* A seed always produces after its kind.
GALATIANS 6:7 NKJ 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Whatever you need, or desire, find scriptures relating to that. Then plant those scriptures inside you in abundance. Those seeds will grow up and produce a harvest of what you need or desire.
* A seed is powerful.
As a seed begins to grow, it will push up dirt, rocks, etc. Whatever the obstacles are, God's Word planted in your heart will push them out of the way.
* A seed begins its growth in secret (underground).
The only way to tell if a seed is growing is to dig it up, or wait for a plant to appear. If you dig up a seed, you may kill it.
* A seed takes time to produce.
No one expects a seed to produce a harvest the same day that seed is planted.
Sometimes the Word of God seems to spring up and bear fruit immediately. Yet, if we knew the details, we would understand that the fruit of the Word grew in that person's life over time.
* A seed is persistent.
A seed never gives up, but works day and night. Even when you are sleeping, the seed you have planted is working to grow and express itself in a fruitful harvest.
* A seed is not affected by other seeds.
Whatever happens to other seeds does not make any difference to a specific seed. Each seed sticks to its own task. One wheat seed planted in a corn field will still produce wheat. Seed does not become discouraged, or quit, even if other seeds die.
* A seed will stop growing without nourishment.
Planting a seed is not enough to assure a harvest. Seed must be protected and taken care of until harvest time. A seed which is dug up, or not watered, will not produce.
* More seeds planted produce a larger harvest.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:6 NKJ 6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Think on these truths about seeds. Allow the Holy Spirit to help you apply them to the role of God's Word in your life.

Psalm 27 - Was Giving to me.

Was Given to me From Prophetess Paula 8\11\2011

Psalm 27

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Psalm 27

[A Psalm] of David.

 ¹THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation--whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?     ²When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
    ³Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, [even then] in this will I be confident.
    ⁴One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.
    ⁵For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.
    ⁶And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
    ⁷Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; have mercy and be gracious to me and answer me!
    ⁸You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word].
    ⁹Hide not Your face from me; turn not Your servant away in anger, You Who have been my help! Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!
    ¹⁰Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].
    ¹¹Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain and even path because of my enemies [those who lie in wait for me].
    ¹²Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence.
    ¹³[What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living!

    ¹⁴Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.

God's Joy

We reflect God. We reflect Jesus. We should appear to have more joy, more peace, and more assurance than anyone else. Right? So, do me a favor this week, check your face, check your reactions, check your words, and check your attitude. Take a good honest look at yourself, your reactions, and your face and make sure that you are representing God in the way He deserves to be represented. Shine, like He shines. Have joy, like He has joy. A merry heart is good medicine - take a dose this week. Let people see God in you. Remember, attitudes are contagious. Let them know that it is a pleasure and a joy to serve Him. And in whatever circumstances you find yourself in...choose life...choose a good attitude and your God will exalt you. It's His promise.

The Are to the Soul...

God is a visionary. Throughout eternity He has envisioned wonderful things and patiently worked to bring them to pass.

The amazing God who envisioned this big, complex universe, has a very specific vision for your life. Psalm 139:13-16 reveals that God had a special life planned for you before you were even conceived!
Long, long before you were born, God wrote His version of your life story. That story is filled with purpose and power and gifts and wonders.

It is possible to miss that vision and live a completely different, much lower version of your life.

Psalm 139:13-16

 ¹³ For You formed my inward parts;
         You covered me in my mother’s womb.
 ¹⁴ I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;^[b]
         Marvelous are Your works,
         And that my soul knows very well.
 ¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from You,
         When I was made in secret,
         And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
 ¹⁶ Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
         And in Your book they all were written,
         The days fashioned for me,
         When as yet there were none of them.

Your Inheritance

Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, and as the victor in the spiritual conflict, is the heir of all things. Heb. 1:1-4 Inheritance is based on sonship: John 1:12, Rom. 8:16, 17, Gal. 3:26-29, To inherit from God, a person must possess the life of God, that is, salvation resulting in eternal life. Titus 3:5-7, 1 John 5:11, 12: Therefore, salvation is the qualification for inheriting from God. Col. 1:9-14.We have an inheritance because we share the destiny of Christ. The true doctrine of predestination is that we share Christ's destiny. Eph. 1:11, As joint-heirs with Christ, we also share Christ's election. Heb. 9:15, Our heritage is related to the doctrine of Eternal Security. 1 Pet. 1:3-5, The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the down payment on our inheritance. Eph. 1:14, Abraham’s inheritance is the pattern and illustration of the heritage of believers. Rom. 4:9-16

Watch out for Envy ...

Some Christians unconsciously harbor envy in their hearts. It’s very common, seldom confessed, yet heavy enough to condemn our souls.
Let Jesus Change Our Heart ...1. What is envy?
The dictionary defines this term as “a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another’s advantages, success, possessions, etc.” The Bible also agrees with this definition.
Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. (Ecclesiastes 4:4 – ESV)
2. What is the source of envy?
For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, evil, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, and folly. All these evils come from within and defile a person.” (Mark 7:21-23, NET)
3. What triggers envy?
A. Immaturity: Joseph was envied by his brothers because Jacob showed favoritism to Joseph, (Genesis 37:3-4)
B. Pride: Daniel was envied by his colleagues because they didn’t want to submit to Daniel’s authority, (Daniel 6:1-5)
C. Leadership insecurity: David was envied by King Saul for this reason, (1 Samuel 18:6-9)
D. Low self esteem and inferiority: Leah was envied by Rachel. Rachel had lost her self esteem and felt inferior to Leah because she was barren, (Genesis 30:1)
E. Greed for fame and public approval: The Pharisees, Teachers of the Law, the Sadducees and scribes didn’t hate Jesus because they thought He is a blasphemer. But Jesus was much popular than them. This made them envy Jesus, (Matthew 27:18)
F. Uncontrolled desire for material gain: In ancient civilizations a common practice among men was to kill his neighbor to possess something that belongs to the victim (Genesis 12:10-13). This could have been cattle, wealth, most probably the other man’s wife. Lack of material and carnal fulfillment lead them to envy against each other.
G. Frustration: Christians frustrate upon seeing the wicked prosper and envy them. (Psalm 73:3)
3. Why envy is evil?
A. Envy is poisonous
The Bible says, A tranquil spirit revives the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones. (Proverbs 14:30, NET) It is healthy to be content with what you have than to envy the other person. It’s medically proven too.
B. Envy is an absence of love
Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. (1 Corinthians 13:4, NET)
C. God strictly prohibits envy
I. So get rid of all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. (1 Peter 2:1, NET)
II. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, being jealous of one another. (Galatians 5:26, NET)
III. Let us live decently as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in discord and jealousy. (Romans 13:13, NET)
D. It prevents us from inheriting the eternal life
I. envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God! (Galatians 5:21, NET)
II. Although they fully know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:32, NET)
E. Divisions in the church
Envy causes competition and competition is a one reason why the unity and harmony is missing from today’s church.
4. How do I overcome envy
I have seen that members of the church can become envious of one another, Preachers can become envious of one another, congregations can become envious of one another. It’s important to that we know how to overcome this sin.
A. Watch out for your emotions and thoughts
Ask God to give you grace to be satisfied with what you have.
B. Seek for emotional maturity
It was natural for Jacob to love Joseph than his brothers because Joseph was born in his old age and he was the youngest of the family. It’s normal for parents to love the youngest of the family most. Joseph’s brothers were emotionally immature. Ask God to help you to mature emotionally. Never give room for self pity.
C. Submit to authority as to God
People who conspired against Daniel out of their envy did so because they disliked to submit to Daniel’s authority. Submit to every authority. Authority in the work place, church etc.
D. Deal with your insecurity
Saul had no relationship with God at all and he became an insecure leader. He became afraid of David and that fear turned into envy. Out of envy he sought to get rid of David once and forever.
The only way to get rid of insecurity is to form a strong and intimate relationship with God. Insecurity can’t control us when we know that God is in control of everything. Your security should not derive from your titles and positions. God should be the source of your security.
E. Deal with your law self esteem and inferiority
Remember, you are valuable in the eyes of God. Jesus died for you because he believes that you are a very important person though you are not perfect.
Envy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self worth. Each of us has something to give that no one else has.
F. Do not seek after fame and public approval
This is the problem with many pastors and preachers today. They seek after fame and the approval of the public. Remember, we are God’s servants only. We can take pride in our accomplishments. Glorifying God and extending His kingdom must be the end goal of everything we do.
It’s good to have a huge congregation, titles and honors. The question is what motivates your efforts and achievements. God doesn’t measure you by these. Rather by you inner qualities.
When they arrived, Samuel noticed Eliab and said to himself, “Surely, here before the LORD stands his chosen king!” But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t be impressed by his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. God does not view things the way men do. People look on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:6-7, NET)
G. Do not entertain greediness
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:17, NET)
God provides our needs. Not our wants, (James 4:2-3) How do you know that your need is not really a need but a desire of your greed? Do you need something because you want to compete with your neighbor? Do you need something because you want to compete with your brothers and sisters? If the answer yes, you are acting out of your greed.
H. Don’t leave room for frustration
I. It’s natural for the wicked to prosper for limited time. God may take years before He blesses you but those blessings last much longer, (Proverbs 10:22).
II. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. God will take care of the rest.
Think for a moment. Who are the people in your life that you envy because they have something that you don’t. Confess it to the Holy Spirit and and ask the Lord to forgive you.

Affirmation

I am learning to use Affirmation in my life : So I want to explain what they are :Importance of Affirmations ;Affirming God’s Word over yourself and others is crucial because it speaks life into your spirit, body and soul. Take to heart the forthcoming scriptures and you will understand the importance of speaking out loud.
An affirmation is a statement that is made, usually to yourself through your thoughts. These affirmations can be positive or negative statements, and many times the affirmations strongly affect the outcome of your life.

Positive affirmations are words of encouragement– they will help to lift your energy and make you feel better about things. Negative affirmations are thoughts that are either degrading or discouraging. Many people fall into the trend of thinking negative affirmations, because they are not aware of the power that their thoughts contain.

Every thought that you have and word that you say affects your life attitude and performance. Becoming aware of your dominant thoughts will help you to change your attitude and bring about more positive things in your life.

Everyone experiences moments of anger or frustration, but you can replace those feelings with positive affirmations. If you experience a moment of negative feelings or failure, take a few minutes to re-focus your mind and get back to the place that you would like to be. Use affirmations to keep positive thoughts dominant in your mind, and you will quickly notice drastic changes in your life.

Positive affirmations do not need to be big fancy sayings, they are usually more effective if you are focusing on affirmations that are to the point and achievable. You do not need to recite long passages of affirmations throughout the day, simply think of smaller statements that you want to be true– and those things will materialize as your reality is changed by the positive affirmations that you are using.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
I confess with my mouth and I believe in my heart that God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead and that He (Jesus Christ) is Lord.

“No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against me in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

I am washed, sanctified and justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God.
My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in me, whom I have received from God. I am not my own; I was bought with a price.
I desire to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

I am saved from wrath by Him and justified by the Blood of the Lamb.

I submit myself to God who gives more grace to the humble, and He will lift me up.

Behold, the Lord Jesus Christ has given unto me power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt me.

I cast down vain imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and I bring every thought captive to the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I yield no ground to satan; I take back all that I have ever surrendered to him in the past and acknowledge that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord of all my life.

Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen.

Walking in Peace

Rom. 5:1 Therefore having been justified out of faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2) Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God.
Since we have been justified by faith and stand in the realm of grace, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul does not say that we have peace with God, but peace toward God. This means that we are still on the way toward God. We have not finished our journey. In the spiritual world, we first enter the gate and then walk along the way. Justification by faith is the opening of the gate, giving us an access, an entry into a wide field of enjoyment. Once we have passed through the gate of justification, we need to walk the way of peace. Sinners have no peace. Romans 3:17 says that when we were sinners we did not know the way of peace.
If we are moving in a certain direction and do not sense the peace within, we should stop. Always go along with the peace.People, after you are saved you must go your way in peace. Wherever we go,we must take the way of peace. If you have no peace, do not go. Whatever you do, do it in peace. If you have no peace, do not act. Grace is for our stand, and peace is for our walk. If you do not have the grace to stay in a certain place, do not stay there. If you have no peace to take a certain direction, do not walk. Stand in grace and walk in peace.
