HOW TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD
MATTHEW 11:28 – COME UNTO TO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.
JESUS THE KING GIVES AN INVITATION TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
PEOPLE WAS LABOURING AND BURDENED UNDER THE TRADITIONS OF MEN, UNDER ORAL LAWS ADDED TO MOSES LAW.
THE BURDEN UNDER THE LAW WAS BECOMING HEAVY, HEAVY BURDENS. THE LAW WAS A SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US TO CHRIST. OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AS FILTHY RAG’S. MAN MUST HAVE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. THE LAW BECAME WORK’S OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WITHOUT FAITH. THAT WAS NOT GOD’S INTENT, PEOPLE BEGAN TO WORSHIP THEIR WORKS AND NOT THEIR GOD.
RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS WILL NOT BRING GRACE AND TRUTH, WORKS ARE THE PRODUCT OF FAITH.
THERE MUST BE REDEMPTION AND REVELATION, MAN CAN’T PRODUCE THIS, IT CAN ONLY COME FROM GOD.
WHEN JESUS SAID COME UNTO ME ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN.
HE WANTED SOMEONE WITH FAITH SAY, YES YOU ARE THE MESSIAH, YOU ARE THE REDEEMER. PETER GOT THIS REVELATION FROM THE FATHER’
NOW JEW OR GENTILE CAN ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD BY THIS REVELATION, THEY CAN RECEIVE THE NEW BIRTH.
JOHN 3:3 – JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
1ST PETER 1:23 -BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOREVER.
JOHN 1:1,2 –IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD.
THE SAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD.
JESUS IS THE WORD MADE FLESH, THE SECOND PERSON OF THE GODHEAD. THE LAMB OF GOD, THE SINLESS SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS, JEW OR GENTILE, WHOSOEVER WILL LET HIM COME.
JOHN 1: 11-14
HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN, AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT.
BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE sons OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME, WHICH WERE BORN, NOT OF BLOOD, NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD.
AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY, THE GLORY AS OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER) FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH.
ISAIAH 7:14 – THEREFORE THE LORD HIMSELF WILL GIVE YOU A SIGN: BEHOLD A VIRGIN SHALL CONCEIVE, AND BEAR A SON, AND SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL (GOD WITH US).
GENESIS 3:15 AND I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND THE WOMAN AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED: IT SHALL BRUISE THY HEAD, AND THOU SHALT BRUISE HIS HEEL.
THE SEED OF THE WOMAN IS THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST.
THE SEED OF ABRAHAM IS JESUS.
GALATIANS 3:16 – NOW TO ABRAHAM AND HIS SEED WERE THE PROMISES MADE, HE SAITH NOT, AND TO SEEDS, AS OF MANY; BUT AS OF ONE, AND TO THY SEED, WHICH IS CHRIST.
WE WERE ALL BORN INTO SIN BECAUSE OF THE FALL OF MANKIND IN THE LOINS OF THE IST ADAM.
WITHOUT THE NEW BIRTH WE ARE ALL UNRIGHTEOUS, NO GOOD WORKS WILL MAKE US RIGHTEOUS, NO RELIGIOUS GROUPE CAN MAKE US RIGHTEOUS.
WE ARE SINNERS NEEDING FORGIVENESS, AND NEEDING A SAVIOUR.
JESUS SAID COME UNTO ME ALL YE.
WE ARE ONLY COMPLETE IN HIM, WE CAN ONLY REST IN HIS REDEMPTIVE WORK ON THE CROSS. IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THIS REPORT YOU HAVE REVELATION OF WHO JESUS IS.
GOD SO LOVED THE LOST WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
JESUS IS THAT REST, HE SAID IT IS FINISHED. THER IS NO OTHER WAY TO GOD THAN THE CHRIST. GOD HAS NO OTHER PLAN TO REDEEM MANKIND.
THIS REDEMPTION COMES FROM GOD, THIS REVELATION COMES FROM GOD. THIS IS HIS PART.
THE RESPONSIBILITY TO OBEY AND RECEIVE IT IS UP TO US, THE RESPONSIBILITY TO FOLLOW HIM IS OURS.
HE WANTS TO GOVERN OUR LIFE, BY HIS WORD, AND BY HIS SPIRIT, AND BRING US INTO HIS PURPOSE FOR OUR LIFE. HE IS THE KING OF GLORY.
PRAY THIS PRAYER AND LEARN OF HIM, THAT IS THE PART WE ARE RESPONABLE FOR, LET THE YOKE OF HIS KINGDOM GOVERNMENT COME UPON US AND LEARN OF HIM.
PRAY, JESUS I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD, MY REDEEMER, COME INTO MY HEART, I GIVE YOU MY LIFE.
IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER, AND MEANT IT WITH YOU HEART, IF YOU HAVE A BIBLE READ THE BOOK OF JOHN 1ST AND THEN READ MATTHEW, MARK, AND LUKE AND THE REST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT BEFORE YOU READ THE OLD.
WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
IF YOU PRAYED THIS PRAYER AND ACCEPTED JESUS AS YOUR LORD, PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL PUT YOU ON OUR PRAYER LIST.

CASTING YOUR CARES
CASTING YOUR CARES
Today’s message is a topic all Christians deal with on a regular basis “CASTING YOUR CARES”. I pray you will be free from cares as we come to the conclusion of this mssage.
Our Scripture reading is found in 1 Peter 5:7.
When I think of this topic, my thoughts go to fishing with a rod and reel, where we cast the lure or bait into the water.
The Scripture says 1 Peter 5;7, —- Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.
Care means anxiety, burden, anything that emotionally weights us down.
The problem, the most of us, have with this is, that we cast our cares and then reel them back in again. He wants us to break the line and let it go.
We are all alike, you know. We all do it.
Why can’t we just let it go?
The last part of that verse reads …for (or because) He careth for you.
We know we have better things to do with our thought-life. If He cares for us, He must be the only one who can handle that care.
Look with mw at Mark 4:18,19 —- And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the Word,
And the cares of this world, … entering in, choke the Word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Here, Jesus is talking about the sowing of the seed which represents the Word of God.
The cares of this life can weight a Christian down, so that they have no joy; and their peace goes right out the window, so to speak. We forget who we are in Christ.
We get anxious, we get tense and agitated, and speak short to people: not meaning to, but we do it.
John 14:1a says, —- Let not your heart be troubled:…
Cares can cause heart trouble and panic attacks.
He careth for you, means to me: He will take care of it.
Cast that thing that is troubling you over to Him. Don’t try to be the lord of your life. Let the Holy One have it.
He created you, why do you think He won’t handle every situation in your life?
All He wants us to do, is cast it on Him, and trust Him to take care of it.
I have, taped on my computer, Scripture verses. I also have a statement I copied from some book or source, that says, “I AM WITH YOU ON EVERY OCCASION”. Each time I read it, a peace settles over me, because, if I know anything about God, He cares, and is with me at all times.
We are yoked together with Him: Jesus said in Matthew 11:29,30 —-
Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My burden (or load) is light.
Dr. R.W. Shambock tells the story about when he was a little boy: how he spent the Summer with his uncle on the farm.
He, being a city boy, didn’t know anything about farm life. He eyed this big strong mule; and watched his uncle harness it to a yoke. Then, his uncle did a strange thing: He took another mule, and yoked it together with the strong one: but this one was skroney and looked very weak. It swayed in the middle.
They were harnessed to pull a heavy load. —-
Well, Shambock started protesting, kicking his uncle in the shin, pleading with him, not to let that weak mule pull such a heavy load.
His uncle said, “You don’t understand, the strong mule is doing all the work, the weak one is just going along for the ride!”
Well, woman of God, this has stayed with me ever since that tent meeting, and I can still see the picture in my mind.
We pray, give it to God, and He carries the load for us.
I am not saying we are not required to do our part.
We have to pray and give it to Him.
That weak mule could have tried to get ahead of the strong one, and forced the load upon himself, by trying to pull a load he couldn’t handle,
but when he relaxed and let the strong one take the lead, he didn’t have to strain against the burden.
This load you are carrying, is too big for you. You have tried to deal with it your own way, but have not been able to shake that thing off.
You go to sleep with it on your mind, and wake-up with it on your mind.
It’s like a poster I had once, where a man is walking down a railroad track with a Volkswagen on his back. He is bent way over from the load.
In his hand, you can see a train ticket. A train is passing by him on the other side. He could have put down that heavy load, and let the train carry him and the car. He already had his ticket.
Likewise, we who are born again, have our ticket in our hand: it is our prayer-life.
The troubles of this life, don’t have to weight us down.
We can enter that rest God promised us, and take that ride through life, with Jesus, or we can go to heaven early with a heavy burden.
I firmly believe, many heart attacks, and other life threatening diseases are brought-on by the cares of this life.
Now, relax, and ask God to take that thing, which has you so distracted, and anxious. —- Find a verse of Scripture that suits your situation, and stand on it.
The Lord’s desire for us is, that we find that place of rest.
Matthew 11:28 —- Come unto Me (or move toward Me), all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Repent of not trusting, believe His Word, and He will take care of that thing.
If God is speaking to you today, about something that has you weighted you down, cast it on Him, His shoulders can handle it.
Woman of God, when we try to take that thing into our own hands, and don’t trust God with it, it can become a bigger mess than we started out with.
So, turn it over to God, and I promise you, although there may be some reaping on the part of the guilty, it will be resolved, in the best way, for all those involved.
Do the messages, God gives me for this Broadcast, speak to Me?
Yes. I needed this one today:
But the experiences of failures and victories in my life on this point make me know God will take care of this one too, If I give it to Him.
I try to stay in a place of rest with Him, and I know I will see His glory in every situation. —- For, He is with me, in every episode of my life.
These messages are to bring you the truth of the Word of God.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Pray this prayer with me:
Father, I ask You to take this care that is troubling me right now. For I am casting it over onto You. I can’t work it out for myself. Please take it, and turn it around for the good for all those involved.
In the mighty Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Until next week.
AT THE APPOINTED TIME
MANY PEOPLE STRUGGLE FROM HEARING FROM GOD, AND TODAY I BELIEVE YOU WILL BE ENLIGHTENED ON THIS SUBJECT.
GENESIS 8:14 – IS ANYTHING TO HARD FOR THE LORD? AT THE TIME APPOINTED I WILL RETURN UNTO THEE, ACCORDING TO THE TIME OF LIFE, AND SARAH WILL HAVE A SON. GENESIS 21:1,2 – AND THE LORD VISITED SARAH AS HE SAID, AND THE LORD DID UNTO SARAH AS HE HAD SPOKEN. FOR SARAH HAD CONCEIVED AND BARE ABRAHAM A SON IN HIS OLD AGE, AT THE SET TIME OF WHICH GOD HAD SPOKEN TO HIM.
THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD “APPOINTED” IS, ASSIGNED OR ARRANGED.
HOW MANY OF US HAVE HEARD FROM THE LORD, AND BECAUSE IT DIDN’T HAPPEN WHEN WE THOUGHT IT SHOULD, WE SAID,”MAYBE THIS WAS IN MY MIND; MAYBE I DIDN’T REALLY HEAR FROM GOD.”
THIS IS WHEN DOUBT COMES IN AND FAITH GOES OUT.
II SAMUEL 17:14 —-HERE WE FIND ABSALOM, TRYING TO TAKE OVER DAVID’S KINGDOM; BUT DAVID WAS CHOSEN BY GOD AS KING. AND EVEN THOUGH DAVID IS RUNNING IN THE NATURAL, HE KNOWS HIS APPOINTMENT—-FOR THE LORD HAD APPOINTED TO DEFEAT THE GOOD COUNSEL OF AHITHOPHEL, TO THE INTENT THAT THE LORD MIGHT BRING EVIL UPON ABSALOM.
15:31 – AND ONE TOLD DAVID, SAYING, AHITHOPHEL IS AMONG THE CONSPIRATORS WITH ABSALOM. AND DAVID SAID, O LORD, I PRAY THEE, TURN THE COUNSEL OF AHITHOPHEL INTO FOOLISHNESS.
DAVID HAD A REBEL SON, ABSALOM, WHOSE PLAN WAS TO TAKE OVER THE KINGDOM GIVEN TO HIM BY GOD. FOR THE PROMISED SEED TO COME : JESUS, WAS TO COME FROM THE LOINS OF DAVID.
ABSALOM TOOK COUNSEL FROM TWO MEN, BUT HE ACCEPTED THE COUNSEL OF AHITHOPHEL, ONE OF DAVID’S COUNSELORS WHO JOINED IN THE CONSPIRACY WITH ABSALOM AGAINST DAVID, THE KING.
WHEN SOMEONE TOLD DAVID THAT AHITHOPHEL, HIS OWN ADVISOR, WAS BACKING ABSALOM, DAVID PRAYED, “O LORD, PLEASE MAKE AHITHOPHEL GIVE ABSALOM FOOLISH ADVICE.”
AS SOON AS HE HAD FINISHED PRAYING, AND HAD REACHED THE TOP OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, WHERE PEOPLE WORSHIPPED GOD, DAVID FOUND HUSHAI THE ARCHITE WAITING FOR HIM. BUT DAVID TOLD HIM, “IF YOU GO WITH ME, YOU WILL ONLY BE A BURDEN. RETURN TO JERUSALEM AND TELL ABSALOM, I WILL COUNSEL YOU AS I DID YOUR FATHER. THEN YOU CAN FRUSTRATE AND COUNTER AHITHOPHEL’S ADVICE. SEND WORD BACK TO ME WHAT IS GOING ON.”
SO WHEN DAVID’S FRIEND, HUSHAI, ARRIVED, HE WENT IMMEDIATELY TO SEE ABSALON.
ABSALOM ASKED HIM, “WHY AREN’T YOU WITH DAVID?” AND HE ANSWERED, “BECAUSE I WORK FOR THE MAN WHO IS CHOSEN BY THE LORD AND BY ISRAEL, AND ANY WAY, WHY SHOULDN’T I? I HELPED YOUR FATHER AND NOW I WILL HELP YOU!”
THEN ABSALOM TURNED TO AHITHOPHEL AND ASKED HIM, “WHAT SHALL I DO NEXT?” AHITHOPHEL TOLD HIM, “. GO SLEEP WITH YOUR FATHER’S WIVES, FOR HE HAS LEFT THEM HERE TO KEEP THE HOUSE. THEN ALL ISRAEL WILL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE INSULTED HIM BEYOND RECONCILATION, AND THEY WILL SUPPORT YOU.”
SO ABSALOM DID EVERYTHING AHITHOPHEL TOLD HIM, UNTIL ONE DAY AHITHOPHEL ASKED FOR TWELVE THOUSAND MEN TO GO AFTER DAVID AND KILL HIM WHILE HE WAS DISCOURAGED.”HE AND HIS TROOPS WILL BE THROWN INTO A PANIC AND EVERYONE WILL RUN AWAY,” HE SAID. BUT ABASOLOM ASKED HUSHAI HIS OPINION.
“WELL,” HUSHAI REPLIED, “THIS TIME I THINK AHITHOPHEL IS MISTAKEN. YOU KNOW YOUR FATHER AND HIS MEN; THEY ARE MIGHTY WARRIORS AND ARE PROBABLY AS UPSET AS A MOTHER BEAR WHO HAS BEEN ROBBED OF HER CUBS.
YOUR FATHER IS AN OLD SOLDIER AND ISN’T GOING TO SPEND THE NIGHT AMONG THE TROOPS. HE HAS PROBABLY ALREADY HIDDEN IN SOME PIT OR CAVE. WHEN HE COMES OUT AND ATTACKS AND SOME OF YOUR MEN FALL, THERE WILL BE PANIC AMONG YOUR TROOPS AND EVERYONE WILL START SHOUTING THAT YOUR MEN ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED. THEN, EVEN THE BRAVEST OF THEM WILL BE PARALIZED WITH FEAR, BECAUSE ALL ISRAEL KNOWS WHAT A MIGHTY MAN YOUR FATHER IS AND HOW COURAGOUS HIS SOLDIERS ARE.’
“I SUGGEST YOU MOBILIZE THE ENTIRE ARMY OF ISRAEL. AND I THINK YOU SHOULD PERSONALLY LEAD THE TROOPS. THEN, WHEN WE FIND HIM, WE CAN DESTROY HIS ENTIRE ARMY, SO THAT NO ONE IS LEFT ALIVE.”
THEN ABSALOM AND ALL THE MEN OF ISRAEL SAID, HUSHAI’S IS BETTER THAN AHITHOPHEL’S.” FOR THE LORD HAD APPOINTED TO DEFEAT THE COUNSEL OF AHITHOPHEL, WHICH REALLY WAS THE BETTER PLAN; SO HE COUD BRING DISASTER UPON ABSALOM. —-AND HE DID.
WHEN GOD GIVES US A WORD, THAT HE IS GOING TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE, IT IS BEST FOR US TO KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT UNTIL THE APPOINTED TIME, AS WAS IN THE LIFE OF ZACHARIAS AND ELIZABETH (LUKE 1). THE ANGEL TOLD HIM WHILE HE WAS DOING HIS SERVICE TO GOD IN THE TEMPLE, THAT HIS WIFE, ELIZABETH, WOULD HAVE A SON NAMED JOHN. BECAUSE OF ZACHARIAS’ UNBELIEF THE ANGEL STRUCK HIM DUMB UNTIL THE APPOINTED TIME.
WHEN GOD DECIDES TO DO SOMETHING, HE HAS A PURPOSE AND A PLAN HOW HE WANTS IT CARRIED-OUT.
THE BEST THING WE CAN DO, IS WAIT IT OUT UNTIL IT COMES TO PASS. IT IS VERY EASY FOR US TO GET INTO UNBELIEF. WHEN WE GET TIRED OF WAITING, WE CAN BRING AN ISHMAEL INTO OUR LIVES, AS DID ABRAHAM AND SARAH. THEN WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE ACTIONS THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
WHEN THE PROMISE DOES COME, WE FIND WE CAN ENJOY IT LIKE GOD PLANNED IN THE BEGINNING, BECAUSE WE HAVE NO ISHMAELS TO DEAL WITH.
WHEN WE BEGIN TO QUESTION GOD—-WE SHOULD BE SAYING, “GOD, I TRUST YOU WITH JUST THE RIGHT TIMING, AND I TRUST YOU WITH WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND ME.”
IN THE BOOK OF ESTHER, ESTHER’S UNCLE, MORDECAI HAD TOLD HER. “NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO ACT. NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO REVEAL YOURSELF.”
ESTHER 4:14 – FOR IF THOU ALTOGETHER HOLDEST THY PEACE AT THIS TIME, THEN SHALL THEIR ENLARGEMENT (OR HELP) AND DELIVERANCE COME FROM ANOTHER PLACE; BUT THOU AND THY FATHER’S HOUSE SHALL BE DESTROYED: AND WHO KNOWETH WHETHER THOU ART COME TO THE KINGDOM FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS?
BY MAKING HER MOVE AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME, SHE DESTROYED ALL THE ENEMIES PLANS.
HOW TO REAP AND NOT FAINT
GALATIANS 6;7-9 BE NOT DECEIVED; GOD IS NOT MOCKED: FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.
FOR HE THAT SOWETH TO HIS FLESH SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION; BUT HE THAT SOWETH TO THE SPIRIT SHALL OF THE SPIRIT REAP LIFE EVERLASTING.
AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING; FOR IN DUE SEASON WE SHALL REAP, IF WE FAINT NOT.
WE CHOOSE THE SEED, WE CHOOSE THE HARVEST.
DECEPTION IS A SPIRIT THAT TRIES TO BLURR OUR SPIRITUAL VISION AND DETERMINE OUR HARVEST.
SOWING AND REAPING IS A SPIRITUAL LAW, IT IS A LAW OF THE KINGDOM, IT IS UNCHANGING.
THE ONLY WAY NOT TO GROW WEARY IS TO LIVE IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.
THE ONLY SEED THAT WILL PROTECT US FROM WEARINESS IS LOVE.
LOVE IS THE MEDICINE FOR WEARINESS.
IF WE SOW LOVE WE WILL REAP LOVE.
LOVE MUST BECOME A LIFE STYLE FOR THE CHRISTIAN THAT IS OBEDIENT AND BLESSED, BEARING MUCH FRUIT IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
LOVE HAS NO JEALOUSY, LOVE IS NOT COMPETIVE.
LOVE ALLOWS GOD TO FIGHT OUR BATTLES.
LOVE ALLOWS ALL THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT TO GROW IN OUR LIVES.
FORGIVENESS LIVES IN LOVE. YOU AND I WILL BE TESTED SOMETIMES DAILY, SOMETIMES HOURLY, BUST WE MUST NOT BE DECEIVED BY SATANS TACTICS. STAY IN LOVE, WALK WITH A FORGIVING ATTITUDE.
UNFORGIVENESS DROWNS LOVE AND CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE OF HOSTILITY, AND A CROP WE DON’T WANT TO HARVEST.
SATAN PLANS A STRATEGY TO DECEIVE US, AND TO LEAD US INTO STRIFE.
IF WE LISTEN, WE BEGIN TO SOW TO THE FLESH.
A LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD OF OUR CONCIENCE, THE LIGHT SAYS CHECK FAITH ENGINE, OUR SHIELD OF FAITH IS NOT WORKING .
THEN ANOTHER LIGHT COMES ON, DOOR IS NOT SHUT, INSTANTLY A DOOR IS OPEN FOR SATAN TO ATTACK.
FORGIVE AND WALK IN LOVE, THE OTHER FRUIT GROWING ON THE SAME TREE WILL HARVEST. JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING,(PATIENCE) GENTLENESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE.
ALL OF THIS ENERGY FROM THE FRUIT WILL KEEP US FROM GROWING WEARY.
GOD’S PROMISE TO SATAN
GENESIS 3:15 AND I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED, IT SHALL BRUISE THY HEAD, AND THOU SHALL BRUISE HIS HEEL.
GOD MADE A PROMISE TO THE DEVIL, THAT THROUGH THE SEED OF A WOMAN, HE WOULD REDEEM MANKIND.
THIS PROMISE WAS FULFILLED WHEN JESUS WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN, GOD SENT HIS SON INTO THE FLESH OF MAN.
GOD HAS ONLY ONE PLAN TO REDEEM MAN. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY PLAN, HE IS THE SEED OF THE WOMAN.
ISLAM IS NOT THE SEED, HINDUISM IS NOT THE SEED, BUDDHA IS NOT THE SEED, JOSEPH SMITH IS NOT THE SEED, JEHOVAH WITNESS IS NOT THE SEED.
NO OTHER PERSON OR SECRET SOCIETY WILL REDEEM MANKIND.
THE SEED IS JESUS CHRIST AND HIM ALONE. HIS NAME IS SALVATION, HE IS GODS LAMB AND HE IS THE KING, AND EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.
JESUS CAME TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL, HE HAS ALREADY COMPLETED PHASE 1 OF HIS MISSION.
HE WILL RETURN AGAIN SHORTLY FOR PHASE 2 WHEN HE RAISES THE DEAD IN CHRIST AND TAKES THE CHURCH TO HEAVEN.
THEN GOD WILL TURN HIS EYES TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND ISRAEL.
JACOBS TROUBLE, A SEVEN YEAR PERIOD, THE 70TH WEEK, AND ALL OF ISRAEL WILL COME TO JESUS, THE SEED OF THE WOMB OF THE JESUS WOMAN MARY.
MARY BIRTHED THE SEED OF HER OWN SALVATION.
GODS PROMISE TO SATAN WAS FULFILLED AT THE CROSS AND EMPTY TOMB. SATANS KINGDOM IS COMING DOWN, SATANS KINGDOM WILL BE DESTROYED.
SATAN IS DECEIVING MANY PEOPLE THROUGH RELIGION AND AND AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF
THERE IS ONLY 2 KINGDOM’S IN THIS EARTH, THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE KINGDOM OF SATAN.
WHICH KINGDOM ARE YOU IN? IF YOU DON’T HAVE JESUS AS YOUR REDEEMER, YOU ARE IN THE KINGDOM OF SATAN.
THE SEED OF WOMAN IS JESUS CHRIST. IN HIM IS ETERNAL LIFE.
SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO HIM, ASK HIM TO COME INTO YOUR HEART BY FAITH. ENJOY A RELATIONSHIP WITH A RISEN KING.
LYING THOUGHTS
THIS MESSAGE TODAY INVOLVES EVERY PERSON ON THE PLANET EARTH.
AS THIS MESSAGE UNFOLDS, YOU WILL BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD’S THOUGHTS ARE NOT OURS, BUT THEY SHOULD BE.
THE WORD THOUGHT IS DEFINED AS THE REASONING OF THE MIND; LYING, AS THE MANIFESTATION OF UNTRUTH.
SO, LYING THOUGHTS COULD BE EXPLAINED THIS WAY: MANIFESTATIONS OF UNTRUTHS BY THE REASONING OF THE MIND. OUR MINDS SEEM TO BE INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING WE SAY OR DO.
IN ROMANS 12:1,2 WE ARE TOLD TO PRESENT OUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD, AND NOT TO BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLDS WAY OF THINKING, BUT TO BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF OUR MINDS: THAT WE MAY DEMONSTRATE WHAT IS …THAT GOOD, AND ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD.
SO TO STOP THINKING LYING THOUGHTS, WE HAVE TO RENEW OUR MINDS TO THE WORD OF GOD, AND NOT HOW THE WORLD THINKS.
II CORINTHIANS 10:4,5 – (FOR THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL, BUT MIGHTY THROUGH GOD TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS;)
CASTING DOWN EVERY IMAGINATION, AND EVERY HIGH THING (OR PROUD THING) THAT EXALTETH ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, AND BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST.
A THOUGHT STARTS OUT AS A SEED, AND BECOMES IMAGINATION; AND THEN A STRONGHOLD OF THE MIND. THIS NEGATIVE SEED IS PLANTED BY THE ENEMY, SATAN.
IF WE CAN CONTROL THE SEED STAGE, HE CAN CONTROL THE HARVEST.
WE HAVE A CHOICE IN THE MATTER: WE CAN ALLOW THE THOUGHTS TO STAY, OR FIND OUT WHAT THE WORD SAYS, AND THINK ON THOSE THINGS.
PHILIPPIANS 4:9 – THOSE THINGS, WHICH YE HAVE BOTH LEARNED, AND RECEIVED, AND HEARD AND SEEN IN ME (PAUL) DO: AND THE GOD OF PEACE SHALL BE WITH YOU.
WHAT WE ALL NEED IS PEACE.
WE ARE TOLD TO THINK ON THESE THINGS IN PHILIPPIANS 4:6-8: WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE TRUE, HONEST, JUST, PURE, LOVELY, OF GOOD REPORT; AND IF THERE BE ANY VIRTURE OR PRAISE …AND THE GOD OF PEACE SHALL BE WITH YOU.
SO, ANY THOUGHT THAT DOESN’T MEASURE-UP TO THESE VERSES, HAVE TO BE LYING THOUGHTS.
WHAT DOES GOD THINK?
WHAT DOES GOD THINK?
BETTER STILL, WHAT DOES HE THINK ABOUT US?
PSALM 139:17 – HOW PRECIOUS ALSO ARE THY THOUGHTS UNTO ME, O GOD! HOW GREAT IS THE SUM OF THEM.
SHOULD WE THINK LESS OF OURSELVES THAN GOD DOES?
VERSE 18 – IF I SHOULD COUNT THEM, THEY ARE MORE IN NUMBER THAN THE SAND: WHEN I AM AWAKE, I AM STILL WITH THEE.
DAVID KNEW HIS THOUGHTS WERE NOT GOD’S THOUGHTS, AT TIMES, SO HE PRAYED THIS PRAYER IN VERSE 23,24 —SEARCH ME , O GOD, AND KNOW MY HEART: TRY ME AND KNOW MY THOUGHTS: AND SEE IF THERE BE ANY WICKED WAY IN ME, AND LEAD ME IN THE WAY EVERLASTING.
LORD, HELP ME NOT TO THINK OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT PLEASING TO YOU. LET NO SEED COME INTO MY MIND THAT DOES NOT LINE UP WITH YOUR WORD, AND WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE FOR ME; AND MY DESIRE IS TO FIT INTO YOUR PLAN FOR MY LFE.
THE BLESSING OF THE FAITHFUL
GENESIS 5:24 AND ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD AND HE WAS NOT: FOR GOD TOOK HIM.
ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD 300 YEAR’S.
HE RECEIVED TWO REVELATIONS, HE NAMED HIS CHILD METHUSELAH, WHICH MEANS, WHEN HE IS DEAD THE FLOOD WILL COME.
THE OTHER REVELATION IS RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF JUDE.
JUDE 14 AND ENOCH ALSO THE SEVENTH FROM ADAM, PROPHESIED OF THESE, SAYING, BEHOLD, THE LORD COMETH WITH TEN THOUSANDS OF HIS SAINTS.
HE SAW THE RETURN OF JESUS, THE MESSIAH WITH AN INDEFINITE NUMBER, ENOCH INCLUDED.
ENOCH WAS FAITHFUL TO GOD, HE WALKED WITH HIM 300 YEARS, AND GOD BLESSED HIS FAITHFULNESS.
NOAH PREACHED AND BUILT AN ARK, FOR 120 YEARS NOAH WAS FAITHFUL TO THE LORD, TO PREACH HIS MESSAGE,ONLY EIGHT WAS SAVED FROM THE JUDGEMENT. NOAH FOUND GRACE IN THE EYE’S OF THE LORD.
GOD IS AN ALL SEEING EYE, HE HAS GREAT GRACE OR ENDURING POWER FOR THE FAITHFUL.
GOD HAS BLESSINGS FOR THE FAITHFUL.
MOSES WAS CHOSEN BY GOD TO DELIVER THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM EGYPT.
MOSES FIRST ATTEMPT LOOKED LIKE A FAILURE, BUT GOD HAD PLANS FOR MOSES.
MOSES HAD TO FAITHFULLY WAIT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DESERT. IT KIND OF LOOKED LIKE GOD HAD FORGOTTEN HIM. GOD WAS GROOMING HIM FOR HIS ASSIGNMENT.
GOD ALWAYS HAS A BURNING BUSH FOR THE FAITHFUL. HE CAME AFTER MOSES AND BLESSED HIM WITH HIS PRESENCE. MOSES BECAME WHAT GOD HAD ORGINALLY INTENDED HIM TO BECOME GOD’S MAN FOR THE HOUR.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS, BE FAITHFUL TO GOD AND WAIT ON YOUR VISION.
HANNAH WAITED ON GOD AND GOT A SAMUEL. ANYTHING GOD HAS FOR US IS WORTH WAITING ON. A BLESSING WILL OVERTAKE US IF WE ARE FAITHFUL.
JOSEPH HAD A DREAM, BUT HE HAD TO WAIT. FROM REJECTION, TO THE PIT, TO BE A SERVANT, TO BE AN INMATE IN PRISON, TO THE SECOND IN AUTHORITY IN THE GREAT KINGDOM OF EGYPT.
GOD TOLD ABRAHAM HIS SEED WOULD BE CARRIED INTO ANOTHER NATION, AT THE TIME ABRAHAM DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A CHILD. BUT ABRAHAM WAITED ON GOD WITH FAITHFULNESS, AND HERE WE SEE GOD FULFILLING THE PROPHECY. JOSEPH THE CHILD OF JACOB, IN EGYPT.
GOD DOESN’T FORGET HIS PROMISES. THE FAITHFUL ALWAYS WIN. THE FAITHFUL ARE ALWAYS BLESSED.
WINNER’S ARE LOSER’S THAT NEVER QUIT. CHAMPIONS ARE PEOPLE THAT NEVER GIVE UP, REGARDLESS OF HOW ROUGH IT GETS AND HOW BAD IT LOOKS THEY JUST REFUSE TO QUIT.
DAVID WAS ANOINTED KING BY SAMUEL, BUT HE HAD TO ENDURE SAUL TRYING TO KILL HIM.
DAVID NEVER QUIT, AND NEVER TRIED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. WHEN GOD SEES THE FAITHFUL, HE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN IN HIS TIMING AND NOBODY CAN STOP IT.
DON’T GIVE UP, THE FAITHFUL ARE ALWAYS BLESSED.
