Back to Basics

Jan31

back-to-basicsWhat does your Bible say?

My Bible says Jesus walked on water. My Bible says Jesus calmed the storm. My Bible says Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead. My Bible says Jesus fed over 5,000 men, women and children with a child’s snack. My Bible says Jesus is closer than a brother. My Bible says the Holy Spirit is my helper. My Bible says the Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer. My Bible says that God gave us a spirit of power, love, self discipline and a sound mind. My Bible says that God will give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed. My Bible says through His stripes we are healed. My Bible says God’s grace is sufficient. My Bible says seek the Kingdom of God and everything will be added.

God promises good news and prosperity for every believer! God’s Word is solid truth for He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Today I ask that you go back to the basics.

It doesn’t matter what your circumstances say. It doesn’t matter what your bank accounts say. It doesn’t matter what the doctor says or what addiction you might have. It doesn’t matter where you are or where you came from. It doesn’t matter if you feel overwhelmed, afraid or have failed previously.

My Bible says God has an abundant life filled with peace, love, joy and happiness for all those who believe. My Bible says that all things work out for our good. My Bible promises that if we keep standing in faith through the midst of all the storms, we will have victory.

So today we are going back to the basics. No matter what anyone says or thinks, Keep believing. Keep standing on His promises until things begin to change in your life. Because my Bible says perfect love casts out all fear. Ask God for a deep revelation of His love and meditate on His Word constantly. If you just get back to the basics without all the fluff, God will guide you, protect you, love you, show Himself to you, break the fear, heal your pain, guide your path and your life will be greater than ever before.

Accept It ~ Believe It ~ Receive It ~ And Speak It

God is good and worthy to be praised. If you continue to believe and build your faith…

you will see the Glory of God in your life!

Thank Him right now that everything will turn out alright.

Because my Bible says your beginnings may seem little but your latter days will be very great!

Run Your Race

Aug9

sadnessHow many of us feel like the picture to the left? Depressed, sad, alone, frustrated, stressed, worried or even all of the above. It is so easy to allow our feelings to get the best of us. Sometimes things come at us so quickly that we don’t have enough time to take a breath.

That’s when it’s imperative that you stop and take a moment to assess what’s happening. Satan knows that his time is running out. And for believers, we have a difficult and rough road ahead. Satan is going to throw everything he can in order to get us off track. Satan loves to bring persecution, trouble, trials, and opposition into our lives. As a believer, God told us that we would have trouble just like Jesus did. However, we are also told that we are to put on the full armor of God!

The Bible is like a treasure chest filled with promises, hope, love, guidance, truth, direction and peace. One of the best quotes from the Bible is:

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable…(2 Timothy 3:16)

Armed with such a statement from God, you can confidently know that everything you read in the Bible is true. When you open the treasures of the Bible, God, Himself tells us that whatever He starts…He’ll finish. We are also told that we’ll never be alone, we are healed by His stripes, Jesus is closer to us than a brother, that He gives us the power to get wealth and of course the list just goes on and on.

We need to be armed with God’s Word like never before. If we are going to win our race, we need to open our Bibles today and fill ourselves with His word. God will make sure to give you the revelation and direction you need in order to make it through your trial, but we must be willing to spend the time to really get to know Him. Not an “on-the-surface” kind of knowing Him but a deep-rooted realtionship that even when the whirlwinds are swirling around us we remain rooted in His truth.

God is good and there is absolutely nothing…and I do mean nothing…that is too hard for Him to handle. Fill yourself with His word. Get to know Him. Ask Him to have a real relationship with you. Because when you do, I can promise that absolutely nothing can stand in your way. You are victorious in Christ. It is because of Him and His amazing Grace that you will be more than a conqueror through Christ.

The best news of all…

BELIEVERS WIN!

One Heartbeat Away

Jun23

iStock_000015062038XSmall_DisappointmentValley-sjhIf anyone has been paying attention to the news lately, it has been down right discouraging. The world is plunging into decay and immorality. From all the terror, America’s fast decline, lies and deceit, sexual exploits; it makes you truly wonder what the heck is going on and it certainly makes you scratch your head a bit. Have you found yourself wondering where is God in it all? Is there a purpose that we simply don’t understand? Why is all of this happening?

Well, the more I asked questions and searched for answers…the more I found myself drawn to study prophecies. For over the past few years, I had already read up on everything I could regarding the four blood moons, Israel’s feasts, and the like. With the last one happening in September 2015, along with the Jewish feast and Elul 29, I already knew there is significance to all I’ve seen. After requiring God’s guidance, He led me on an incredible journey. And I don’t mean just skimming the surface of the Bible or Biblical commentaries…I mean, deep and undeniable studies. The more I studied, the more I dove in. There have only been a few times this has ever happened to me where I would lock myself in a room for days and study till I just couldn’t read another word. It was undeniably God’ s hand of guidance and provision. There was something He was trying to get me to see and pass along to others who are willing to listen.

Events seem to be happening quickly and most people are oblivious to it all. Time seems to be passing by and most people are looking at their own lives, stuck on electronics that they think brings them joy; only to be afraid of missing out on something or being left out of the next big thing. However, those that have ears to hear and those that hear be saved! (Mark 4:23-24)

The absolute truth is that most people are missing out on something more important than a text message or a selfie. Something that is coming over the horizon like a sunrise but no one takes a minute to appreciate the sunrise nor the creator of that sunrise.

No matter where we grew up or went to school, no matter what we did in our life before Christ, no matter what we currently do for a profession, no matter where or when we were chosen to follow Christ…we all have a purpose in life. We are all called to be a watchman on the wall. (Ezekiel 33:6) We are all called to be the light of the world. (Matthew 5:14) So, it is of the utmost importance for all those who believe in Christ to understand the times which we live in. It is important for all of us to be strong in His word, be loving to those around us, and reach out with the revelation of knowledge to save all those who are lost before it’s too late.

Within less than a blink of an eye, everything we know and love could vanish. Houses, cars, money, gold, silver, and everything else people strive for will not mean a thing when it happens. What God lead me to discover shocked me to my very core. Nothing else seemed to matter much after it. I couldn’t wait to sit down to write this post because everything is explained in such a way that your soul is moved. You finally “get it” and “the purpose” and “the why”.

Being a watchman on the wall is never easy nor is it ever received very well. But as God says so eloquently in the Bible:

Ezekiel 33:6: But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.

I don’t typically endorse products on this website. However, it is my duty to warn anyone who is willing to hear. I urge you all to read “The Harbinger” from Jonathan Cahn. It is definitely a book written for our time and explains a lot of what has happened to America, what to expect next, and God’s ultimate purpose. Whether you live in America or around the world, the ending of this book will take your breath away and you’ll understand why we all have been called for a time such as this. I urge you to get a hold of this NOW. Don’t wait! We are simply one heartbeat away and you’ll want to share it with everyone you love!

“Watch, I say lest He comes suddenly and unexpectedly and find you asleep. And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Watch (give strict attention, be cautious, active, and alert)!” (Mark 13:36-37)

Do not be afraid as God promises to protect his beloved. If you have not given your life to Christ, I urge you to do so as none of us are promised tomorrow. It’s the greatest gift ever to mankind…to spend eternity with Almighty God where there is no pain, no suffering, no sorrow. Your ultimate destination is a choice. What shall you choose?

Release and Accept

May16

Let Go (2014_03_10 01_21_18 UTC)Life has a funny way of constantly reminding you of the things you’ve done wrong. You can be in the middle of a fantastic day, when out of nowhere, a reminder of your past comes along. As soon as it pops into your head, you have a choice to make. You can either mull it over and relive it, or you can ask for God’s forgiveness and release it to Him.

No matter who you are, where you came from, or what you’ve done…IT DOES NOT DEFINE YOU NOW! Your past is just that…your past. When you repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your past no longer exists and He sees your sins no more. (Hebrews 10:17) You don’t have to live in shame, guilt, anger, or regret. Thanks to Jesus’s finished work, you are a new creature in Christ and only the best days are ahead of you.

So the next time a little reminder comes along, stop it in its path. Release whatever it is to God and let Jesus’ rest come upon you. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. Let Him fill you with unspeakable peace that only He can provide. Accept His loving mercy and kindness today.

REPEAT AFTER ME:

Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me so much. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and making me a new creature. Today, I release all of my past hurts, anger, guilt, shame, and pain. Fill me with your amazing peace as I begin to step forward into the incredible life you have for me. Today, I will walk boldly and confidently knowing that my past is forgiven. Thank you for your mercy and kindness. In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray. Amen.

Now…THANK GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS AND GO HAVE A TREMENDOUS DAY!

Be Thankful (2014_03_10 01_21_18 UTC)
