We are all As Jews Through Christs Blood

posted by PrayerWarrior

It has been quite some time since I have written anything here. Alls I can say is I have been growing and learning so very much and just have been selfish with my time over the last few months. I wanted to be strengthened and grow fully and completely,for the times coming upon us.The Lord is moving me in many different directions and growing me spiritually daily.My Love for the Lord is unshakable,and that is what I wanted to achieve in this hiatus. It was not and is not of my own doing that I have been growing. I know I cannot do that on my own. When we seek the Lord’s face and call upon Him,with all expectation that He will show up,guess what? He shows up!! God is so good and faithful.

I will be writing more soon again I have many different thoughts on what articles to do. I am especially drawn to the times we are living in and the signs of these times. More soon,Tammy

We Are All As Jews Through Christ’s Blood

Rom 11:2 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
So often I have heard Christians say oh thats for the Jews that the bible is speaking of in the end times. I say not so. For we are all (whom have accepted Christ) Jew’s or Israelites Through Christs blood. I have asked where does it make a distinction, in what scripture does the bible or any of the apostles speak of the Jews (Only), having all the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the end times. I have yet to receive an answer from anyone. Most often what I see is the person whom I have asked to show me where in the bible it says, that time of power and gifts of the Holy Spirit is for the natural born Jewish people? One brave man answered my question saying we will not be here because of the rapture,so it must be the Jewish people only.

I told him I am sorry sir, but no you see, we will be here during that time. Our friendship and brother sister relationship in Christ, ended that day.This brother wants so badly to believe that the rapture of the church will take place before any of the bad stuff occurs,that he turned off his ears. The funny thing was this person was asking all the right questions of the scriptures used to explain when the rapture will actually be. There again though when truth was shown him, he turned away from it.To my own ears all of the explanations for a pretrib rapture rang hollow. I could not accept the answers as they were shown to me.Those answers merely made me question further why the scriptures were being twisted. I decided when things do not make sense, forget all you have been taught already, and go to the source of it all,the Word,which is The Lord.
I prayed and fasted for three weeks on this one subject. I read my word diligently and every scripture pertaining to the end times in the Old and New Testaments.I did not sleep much either in that time.

In the third week of my seeking the Lord and fasting,I was shown the scriptures. All of them clearly,my eyes were opened and the breakthrough was, to say the least PHENOMENAL. I was fairly screaming with the excitement of it all.I was asking all the right questions before on why does the bible say this that or the other thing,but iI was asking the wrong people. When I asked the Lord show me Father show me truth unvarnished. Prepare my heart and mind and soul to receive truth Lord. Show me, that I may never walk away from you Lord,in fear or doubt.He brought me back first, to Matthew chapter 24:29 where all my original questions were first begun. Why would Jesus our precious savior, say AFTER those times of tribulation, if He actually meant before those times of tribulation? The answer was so simple. It was as clear as the nose on my face. We all know that Jesus says what He means, and means what He says.Unless of course He was using parables.

Then also in 2Thessalonians 2: 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. It says here as plain as day, that day shall not come until the falling away,Stop right there!!! If there are no Christians here in that time because the rapture has come then whom shall be falling away? Then the next line says and that man of perdition be revealed. Was Paul making a riddle here? I think not.Verse four goes on to explain who that man of perdition is,the man who exalts himself above all that is God. Hmmmm We know that antichrist is not revealed till the middle of the 7 years of tribulation.

It is true we are not due the wrath of God, but Jesus did tell us we would face horrible tribulation.That horrible tribulation has not even come close to happening as of yet.1Thess 5:9 tells us,“For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,”. Revelation tells us that the first half of the tribulation is not God’s wrath. God’s wrath comes in the form of the vials.Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: Then in Rev 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.There is a distinction made between the anger of the antichrist making war against the saints,and God’s wrath.

Many times people say where are the saints in Revelation after Chapter 3 they are not mentioned again. EXCUSE ME?? Better read again brother or sister. We are mentioned all over the place, up until chapter 14:16. That is where we are going up up up and away.Now I have read many a time Rev 3:10 and I see it as protection from the temptations that come upon the earth or the temptation to forget all of what you have known and loved for so long, The Lord. Not taking you away He will keep us from it, in other words protect us through it. I think it would be clearly spoken if anything other than protecting us were meant. The amplified bible says it like this, 10 Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth.

The greek word ek (from, of, out of) (occasionally in, through)
Used in Revelation 3:10. Used with teereo (keep) also in John 17:15, where it does not mean emergence from within, but rather a staying outside. See staying, not taken away from.Here is another better explanation of this verse. There seems to be a volume of Scripture such as Matthew 24 and 2 Thessalonians 2 that would clearly indicate that believers are going to experience the testing during the Great Tribulation of Antichrist. In the Greek “will keep you from” is TEREO EK. TEREO means to “watch over protectively, guard” and with the preposition EK it carries the idea of being guarded or protected and rescued out from the midst of danger. If the idea of keeping one from entering were intended the preposition APO would have been used. So it is the idea of deliverance out from within rather than an external deliverance.

The clear and obvious meaning concerns protection within the sphere of danger and not protection from danger. Christ has promised the faithful believers that He will deliver them at the revelation of His Glory at His Coming. To make this verse of Scripture mean “deliverance before the testing begins” is manipulating the Scripture to support a false position rather than accepting what the Scripture really says. To you who would add any words to the Revelation or any part of the Word,Woe to you.

Wow in going back over all of this,the Lord obviously moved me in a different direction than I had intended this article to go. No matter the Lord working through these fingers is something I love to have happen.

It has been on my mind so much lately that we being grafted into the Olive tree that is the Israelites,must mean the same for us. Throughout the New Testament we see evidence that we are not merely Gentiles any longer,that through the acceptance of Christs blood covering, we are as the Jew’s were,the chosen ones. We have been chosen and we have chosen to follow Christ,He being a Jew,as soon as we accept His blood covering as our own covering of sin,we now have His genes.
Romans 11:1,7,11,17,25,28,33 all speak of the olive tree and the opportunity of the gentiles to be grafted into the olive tree. With verses 25 and 28 speaking of the mercy for the Jews who still abide by the laws and works, have a chance at salvation,as well as their strength being so much more, once they have accepted Christ as the Messiah. I love it!!

Verse 17 of Romans 11:17 -The Olive tree We need to notice our perspective here. Paul is clarifying that Israel’s failure as a nation does not mean that they are hopelessly lost. Is the tree Israel? Yes and no. In the previous chapter (and elsewhere) Paul clarified that there is no distinction between Jews and Greeks. (Greeks were the main group of Gentiles in Paul’s world). They are the same to Christ. Paul is here addressing people who were thinking in terms of their ethnic distinctions and wants to avoid either group from feeling that they now have or have lost God’s favor. In the immediate context the tree is Israel, but God never intended that Israel should be saved in any way different from anyone else. Their distinction was that they had been given truth and were to convert the world. Thus the tree is the body of Christ (His followers), as Israel was to have been. Also remember that the infant church was principally ethnic Jews who accepted their Messiah.

In closing It is important for all of us who are Christs own, to know that we are as the Jews chosen ones. I personally think we should be celebrating all of the Jewish Holidays as they are important to our Lord and Savior. I also think we must realize ,that we are as Christ followers given the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Those gifts include, Wisdom, Knowledge, Discerning of spirits (human, angelic, demonic), Speaking in tongues, Interpretation of tongues,Prophecy, Faith, Working of miracles,and Healing. These gifts are alive and well. If the apostles were told to go out into the world and baptize in the Holy Spirit,why is it that so many today believe these gifts were stopped when the last apostle died? What is the need of being baptized in the Holy Spirit if not to receive and use these God given gifts? I know most of the true Christian churches out there believe that you must be baptized in the Holy Spirit. So what is the need for that if you get no gifts? I also know that most denominations of churches believe that upon receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit,you are given faith, and discernment. What about the rest of the gifts? Why would God merely give these gifts and not the others?

I have a feeling many people are going to be very surprised when the Holy Spirit is working stronger than ever, in our not too distant future. When every man woman and child will be displaying the gifts of the Holy Spirit.If they believe in God and the atoning blood of Christ.
I will go a step further and quote Mark 9:23 all things are possible to those who believe. Do you understand that? If you believe it,it is possible. Better still,if you believe it,it will happen. Your unbelief in the power,the gifts of the Holy Spirit, is the only thing holding you back from seeing the fruits of it.

There was never a distinction made between Jews and gentiles then or now. What God does for any He does for all,Amen to that.

Love in Christ, Tammy

The Not So Secret Rapture

posted by PrayerWarrior

I know no one knows the day nor the hour the Rapture is coming but , what Jesus tells us is that every eye will see every nation and every people of every tongue shall see Jesus in the clouds. How does that sound like it is going to happen secretly? Also Jesus tells us every one will mourn horribly in Matthew 24: Also we are told the angels gather his elect at that time. If this is fact, and well we know Jesus did not lie to us, and prepared us for all things to come, then we have to know! If the rapture has already occurred by this time the time of every eye seeing Jesus coming on the clouds with great glory, then the question remains who are those elect the angels are gathering? There is not two raptures.

So let’s take a look then at how specific Jesus is about the rapture, or the Harpazzo,the taking away of his elect. Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. This to me is no secret. It says to me every eye will see and know. Those who were once believers in Christ will see it and then we have verse 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: I think the whole world will notice the heavens shaken and the stars falling out of the sky. Then verse 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Why is everyone mourning? Because they knew at one time or have been told and did not believe, that Jesus is truly the messiah. But there will be many who have given up the hope. Why would believers give up their hope, you might ask? Because so many people think, we are to suffer nothing, (it is estimated 40% of Christians believe we are to suffer nothing and that Jesus will come and take us away from any tribulation.) Because of this, many will have turned away. Thus making it possible for the abomination of desolation possible. The very antichrist setting himself up as god in the temple. For the antichrist to be revealed. If Christians have believed a lie for much of their Christian life, that being that they will be taken out of tribulation before it begins. Say they face serious persecution, don’t you agree they will turn away thinking they have been duped by God? By the very word of God? But it is not God who is deceiving, God will just have allowed their itching ears to be tickled by what they want to hear. Really who wants to hear they will suffer sorrow unmatched, pain undreamed of ? I know I personally for a little while, did not want to believe I would go through very tough times indeed. But do not give up hope, God is our protection. He will protect us, pour the words forth from our mouths when the time comes. Those days are going to be miraculous days for us who will not give up believing and holding on to our Lords promises.

Let’s go on though. We know that this is the rapture because it is also written in 1Corinthians 15:52, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. See the same thing as Matt 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. “The last trumpet”. 1st Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. This is no secret happening. Also Rev 14:12-16. Too much to write in this paragraph but 12 says here is the patience of the saints here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And He reaps. If saints are already in heaven, then who prey tell are these saints who were patient?  Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. What is being endured if not tribulation?

In Daniel Chptr 12 Let’s look at the whole of it,1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. This is speaking of the not so secret rapture:
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. That brightness is us having our incorruption put on as well as our immortality.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; WAIT!! tried? We are to be tried, we are his who are purified right? If we are purified how does one get purified? Just like silver or Gold they go through a refinery, they are tried again and again until they are pure silver or pure gold.   But the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. Again your attention to the previous verse, “this struck me between the eyes” this is good stuff and gives us an idea of just how long after abomination of desolation we will have to wait till the Lord comes for us. 45 days more than the three and a half years.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

At that time there will have been many Christians who have turned away saying thats it, he is never coming. Those who have believed for all their Christian lives that the rapture would take place before the tribulation will have believed themselves fools for thinking Jesus was ever coming back for us. Matt 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. These verses make one understand that the great apostasy will have occurred. 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Revelation 1:7 “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”There is no  scripture that says the second coming of Christ to gather His saints will be a secret. All these verses show it will be a very loud and very visible event that every eye shall see. There is nothing secret about any part of His coming. The world will know exactly what has happened. The antichrist will not be able to convince a world who has just witnessed such a thing as millions upon millions of graves having been opened and bodies removed. As well as millions upon millions of alive people being bodily removed will not be a secret. Some even proclaim the anitchrist will make the world believe it was UFO’s that have done this. How can people be totally deceived as to have witnessed this occurrence, and then believe such a huge lie as it was aliens from another planet. He is powerful no doubt, is satan. But he cannot make us do or believe anything. He can cajole and talk us into things. But he cannot for one minute MAKE US do anything.

I do not personally believe there is any such thing as UFO’s I do believe it is government’s of the world doing secret stuff we have no clue about. We surely have some much higher technology in this world than the average lay person knows about. The devil is crafty and smart there is no doubt about that. He has weapons and plans of which we have no clue about. The devil has been busy for almost 6000 years. He is a very tough adversary. He is and has been busy even at the time of the apostles preachings and teachings Look at what Paul said in 2 Thessalonian’s  2:6-12 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. Yes it says he who letteth will let until he be taken, moved out of the way. Being moved out of the way does not describe removing, it means, if a tree falls in the road you what? Move it out of the way. Push it aside. I believe the great delusion is already being spread far and wide, and that being the deception that Christians will not go through tribulation.

Because we know not the hour which Jesus will return. He will come unexpectedly when you least expect it, as does a thief. It would be no good for the thief if you knew when he was coming as you would be ready for him and he could not rob you. In the same way we need to be ready and living a righteous life now and not just when we think Jesus is coming or we will be “caught naked and our shame seen.” Those who love and obey Jesus will be ready for His return. This is the meaning of the phrase “to come as a thief” that is used several times in the Bible to warn us so we will not be left behind.

In Closing let me just say Coming as a thief is unexpected, NOT a secret! Be ready. Pray and ask God to never let you turn away. Ask your Father in heaven to make you aware of what His word says. To give you His knowledge, His understanding of what His word means. I know there are many many thelogians, pastors, and preachers, in this day and age that believe it is a pretribulation rapture. I hope they are very strong even unto the end of the tribulation. Until the time of God’s wrath to be poured out on the earth. God’s wrath is not Tribulation. There is a clear distinction. Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Not secret and definitely not pretribulation rapture. I just want anyone,everyone, who reads this to be ready for all eventualities. Things are moving along rather quickly now a days, and just going to speed up as we go along. Don’t give up your hope nor faith, no matter what you may go through.

Love to all in Jesus name,Tammy

What is my purpose?

posted by PrayerWarrior

Have you ever asked this question,”What is my purpose”? Ask it no more, the answer has been in your bible all along.
Your purpose cannot be found inside yourself for one thing.You must realize that you were purposed before the foundations of the earth were layed out. God purposed you to love you. Meaning God made you on purpose because he wanted to love you and have you love him in return.
Your job is not your purpose,nor is parenting ,though this could be a part of God’s plan for your life,it is not your purpose.

“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to  adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.” Ephesians 1:4-6
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered….”  John 15:4-6

“In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. “  Ephesians 1:11-12
that His people would love Him most of all,This is what we are purposed for. To love Him as well as to be loved by him.
“…’you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.” Mark 12:29
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”  John 14:15
“He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:20-21
“If  you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.”  John 15:10-11

-  that we love each other as He has loved us (that means demonstrating God’s love to each other, not conforming to popular culture in order to please each other)

This is his plan for us, once we have realized our purpose now we can become part of his plan.

“…the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” John 17:22-23
“Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I labor….” Colossians  1:28, 29
“Be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.”   1 Peter 3:8-9
“You, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.  For  all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  Galatians 5:13-14

Always be aware there are false teachers out there do not be deceived.
“…charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.”  1 Timothy 1:3-7

Our purpose is not, no matter how much the world tells you,to gain all the goods of the earth,meaning we are not going to win if we have the most toys. Our purpose is not to be popular among men  we are to be as aliens among the people of earth. Not conforming to mans ways but to God’s ways.  “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”  Colossians 3:1-4
“He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.”  2 Corinthians 5:15
We must die to self and daily pick up our cross.
“…unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also….
“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” John 12:23-28

Once our purpose is realised we are to repent and turn from darkness to the Light
“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.   For the promise is to you and  to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” Acts 2:38-39
that we follow Him and share His suffering.

We will suffer somethings at some time, probably not in  the far future for our belief and our love of Christ. Do not fear that,the Lord will sustain you and reward you for your endurance in the end.
“For to you  it has been granted on behalf of Christ,  not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake…”  Philippians 1:29
“For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: ‘Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth;’ who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.” 1 Peter 2:20-22
do not be ashamed of  the testimony of our Lord, nor of me  His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling…. For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.” 2 Timothy 1:8-12
“…the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24

And finally, “‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”  1 Peter 5:5 If you do not know how to humble yourself, which honestly was my hardest point when I was not yet saved,then pray tell God you are seeking him.Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: If you seek him with all your heart he is faithful to manifest himself to you.If you knock upon His door in heart felt search, He will open the door to you. No matter your sins or transgressions He will grant you pardon and allow you entrance to His Kingdom.

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:  that  the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places….”   Ephesians 1:15-20

Thats right friends and brothers and sisters I am pointing my finger at YOU!!!!

Faith

                                 The Best Faith

To have miracles in our life first we must have faith. Such as the woman who touched Jesus robes and was healed. Mark5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Her faith in just touching his clothes healed her how lovely.

In Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
The importance of faith is stated for us in the book of Hebrews.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).We have faith in something because we have heard about it. We cannot have faith without hearing.
We have read and or heard many times all of us to have faith and to believe is what faith is right? If we want something from the Lord alls we have to do is believe it with all our hearts our souls and our minds.

When we ask something of the Lord and we know the Lord is faithful we just simply must believe in his word believe in him believe he will do what we have asked and it will be done to us for us or within us. Matthew 17:20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.Matt 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Some people do not believe that the Lord is still healing people but I tell you it is not doctors nurses or any other who do the healing it is God himself. Look at Psalm 103:1-3, “Bless the Lord, O my soul,…And forget none of His benefits … Who heals all your diseases;” This scripture does not leave room for anyone, or anything, to perform healing except God. We can see from this scripture too that there isn’t any disease God doesn’t heal. Let’s be careful not to limit God. We must realize He can heal through different means.EXODUS 15:26: “And He said,…for I, the Lord, am your healer.” JAMES 1:16-17,James taught that we are deceived if we believe any good gift can come from anyone except God, and surely healing is a good gift.James 1:16-17 “Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow.”

Now I also want to point out a good way to have faith to show the Lord, you have that kind of faith he wishes to see in you, is to praise him for the miracle you are expecting. Meaning say Lord God I praise you and I thank you Father for the healing action you are even now planning. Praise him before the end of the troubles. Praise him in the midst of your Trial knowing that he will heal you and or bring you through this.Praise him for caring enough about you to allow you to go through these tests and trials. To know that he is stretching your faith and growing it in him.To know that he has better bigger plans for you and having faith in him that he will teach you how to handle what is coming in your future. Never forget Jesus knows your yesterdays todays and tomorrows all of them and he will always prepare you for what you must face and or go through.

We must not have a wavering kind of faith, meaning we cannot say one minute oh I know he will heal or do this thing for me, then the next minute saying oh he wont do this. No wishy washy belief will net your miracle. James 1:1-8 1. James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
1:3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

In closing I just want to say faith in it’s best form is strong belief, it needs no proof. The Dictionary says:1. belief that is not based on proof,2.   belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings,3. the trust in God and in His promises as made through Christ and the Scriptures by which humans are justified or saved. All of this says to me just believe. Believe you will have your healing, meet your financial obligations,your every need,do not waver in the belief that all of your needs will be met, and they will be met. Do not doubt for one milisecond God or his wonder working powers, and you “will” see miracles.
Mark 11:24
24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Jn. 16:23-24 23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
May God Bless and keep you all safe healthy and happy in His loving guiding hand.
