February 19, 2020Confession Of Faith
Confession Of Faith – is a teaching to help us establish our faith properly in God. We all have heard or ready about our need to confess our sins to God. Many think this only applies when we first come to Jesus for salvation. But if we read God’s Word a little more intensely, we will come to understand that have a confessing heart is needed more after we give ourselves to Christ. Christ wiped away our sins, so the only sins we need to confess are those done after we accepted the Lord. We are called to be free in Christ, and the only thing that keeps us from being free is sin. We must, therefore, develop a confessing heart, so it creates an openness about our sins before God and others. The more we unveil our sins, the less Satan can testify against us, and the more we can demonstrate to God we can live free of sin. When we grow in the Lord, our confessions changes from having to confess about sin, to a confession of faith. Confessing of all the things God has done, is doing through Christ as we demonstration our faith to God and others.

February 10, 2020In Our Struggles
In Our Struggles – is a teaching about learning to depend on God in the middle of our struggles and not on ourselves. We have to know the reason we are going through struggles. Are we struggling because we live for the things of the world, and things are not working out as we planned? All of us go through struggles, it does not matter if you are rich or poor, in the US are in a third world country, we all struggle, though for different reasons. There is a difference between struggling in the world and struggling because we live in Christ Jesus. We struggle as part of the world, because we choose to sin, to disobey God, and we continue to have evil and sinful desires within us. But those of us who are following Christ Jesus, struggle because we have received the Spirit of God, and he is working the bad out of us, and replacing it with the good of God. It’s a spiritual struggle that we must and can overcome, through the power of God that is in Christ Jesus. We struggle spiritually because God’s ways are different than ours, changing and conforming to the ways of God will create momentary struggles in us. Spiritual struggles are meant to grow us, to train us in the ways of God. We must overcome, for our spiritual struggles are only momentary, joy comes in the morning, God’s blessings are new every morning, and there is deliverance and victory in Christ Jesus. Glory to God.

February 02, 2020Human Nature
Human Nature – Let’s talk a little bit about our human nature, and what has happened to it that is causing us so many problems, including issues with us following God’s Word and Ways. For most of us, from the day we were born, our nature has taken on qualities of a sinful person. If we are honest about it, we can easily look back and see how sinful things were added to our nature. Do we remember when we started lying? Do we remember the day we became ok with being greedy, or even taking things that did not belong to us? How about the day when we started allowing our body to have sexually and lustful desires? We have been training our mind and body how to live for sin for a very long time. Now that we have accepted Christ Jesus and repent from our sins, the Spirit of the Lord wants to deal with all the sinful things we have allowed our human nature to take in. The Lord wiped away all our sin and condemnation, but he did not say our nature had been changed. All those sinful things did not get attached to us all at once, and it’s not going to be put to death all at once. If we are faithful and allow the Spirt to do its work, it will feel like we are suffering as each one of our sinful ways are put to death, but we are being set free. Free, so we can take on the full nature of God that we receive through Christ Jesus, and the Spirits work in us. We just have to remain faithful, and let the work come to a completion in us, so our human nature its like the nature of Christ. Completely free.

January 29, 2020Order My Steps
Order My Steps – Once we hear the call of the Lord, we must answer. When we came to Jesus, he has in his hand a plan for our lives, prepared by God. Many times, when we hear the call, we hope and think the Lord has called us to fulfill our plans and dreams. When he does not, we struggle as a Christian. The call was never about our plans and dreams, it’s about God’s plan for our lives. God called us, so he can order our steps through his Son, Word and Spirit. We have to give God control over our lives, so our steps can be ordered by Christ Jesus. No one knows better how to order our steps than Christ Jesus. No on knows the road to the kingdom of God but Jesus. It is foolish and we will perish if continue trying order our own steps after we have accepted Christ Jesus. He Lord says he has gone to prepare a place for us, but how will we get there if we continue to follow our own steps, which only leads to sin. We need to pick up our cross and follow Jesus, allow the Spirit of the Lord to change, to order our steps. We need to walk in the light of Christ so our steps will be pleasing to God. Its not easy, we will slip along the way, but we wont fall if we keep our eyes on the Lord and allow our steps to order by him. Step by step, sweet Jesus, change our walk, change our talk, so its pleasing to God.

January 20, 2020IF Only
IF – As we read God’s Word, as we look to what God requires of us in coming to know him, two things become clear. In the beginning everything from God was conditional, it was based on our actions, and if we carefully follow God’s Word. Then God who is full of mercy and grace, stated that he would never again remove his love from us, least we all would be destroyed. We should be thankful to God, we have a chance to experience the Love of God in our lives, even as sinners. The second thing we come to understand is that even though God has made his love unconditional, everything else remains conditional. If we obey what God commands, he will be a blessing to us. God promises that if we follow his Son Christ Jesus, we can have eternal life. The Lord says if we never turn to the right or to the left, he will make us the head and not the tail. God is offering us life through his Son, if we walk upright before him. If we obey and are faithful, we can live in Christ and he will live in us. If, is what matters. If we obey, if we pay attention, if we do as God has commended, we will be blessed in the city, blessed in the country, blessed when we lay down and wake up, bless when we go out and come in. But if we reject God’s Word, if we change God’s Word, if we deny Christ Jesus, then the Lord will allow bad things to come up on us, and we will be judged. If we want God’s blesses, we must love as God loves.

January 13, 2020Only God Can
Only God Can – In almost all situations, we like to think that we can within ourselves resolve any issue we have. That is the way the world has taught us to think, its only when we have lived for a while that we start to see that there are many things that goes well beyond our abilities and intelligence to resolve. Its only at this moment that we start to comprehend what God the Father through our Lord Christ Jesus can do and understand that all things are possible with God. Only then do we start to look beyond ourselves, so we are sustained and saved by God. It takes many of us a long time before we come to believe only God can, to believe in the Power of God to rescue us, and the authority of Christ Jesus to save us. Without a complete belief in Christ Jesus, we will not look to God for answers. We will pretend we are looking to God as we continue working things out ourselves. That is way many times God waits until we are broken, until we are at our last, before he moves in our lives. We have to completely believe that only God through his Son Christ Jesus can do all things, and nothing is impossible for God. The Lord can do all things.

January 04, 2020Searching For Answers
The Answer – no matter how long we have been walking with the Lord, there will always be times when we need to receive an answer from God. Life is going to throw somethings our way, and we will not have the knowledge or abilities to overcome them. We have to be careful, and not turn and seek answers from other places. This requires godly understanding, the answers we need cannot be could in ourselves, they cannot be found in others, they cannot be found in the world, the answers we need can only come from God. The Lord, teaches us the only way we can receive answers from him, is by us having a fear for God and living our lives right before him. If you and I choose to live in sin, then spending our time crying out to God for answers regarding our desires and troubles is in vein. We need to confess our sins, seek forgiveness from the Lord so he will answer our prayers and delivers us. All we need is found in Christ Jesus. He is the beginning and the end, there is nothing that exists that he does not know about, nothing that he cannot handle. Christ Jesus is the answer to all our troubles, success, problems, failures, and desires. All we need is Jesus, he is the answer.

December 30, 2019Forgiveness
Forgiveness – is a teaching to help ensure our faith in the Lord is founded in forgiveness. We are all sinners who lived for ourselves and not for the Lord. We have done things to others, and others have done things to us that needs to be forgiven. We know without forgiveness, grace, and mercy we will not be able to be with the Lord, for the Lord forgives us based on our ability to forgive others. Many of us think we are a forgiving person, but when it comes to us displaying forgiveness, this is where we fall short of God’s mark. Being a forgiving person has to come from our heart, and not from what or how we think of ourselves. For forgiveness to be manifested in us as a Christian, it has to come from the heart. For forgiveness to be real and sincere in us, we have to have love, peace, be humble, be patience, be kind, forget, show mercy and grace. These are the characteristics God uses to forgive us when we ask him to forget our sins; we must have these characteristics in our heart to forgive others when they sin against us; to forget and remember it no more is real forgiveness.

December 23, 2019Hope In God
Hope – is a teaching to help us establish our faith and hope in God. Life can be very hard, it can bring us to a point where we are broken, feel a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. We place our hope in many things, in many people, but that is not real hope at all. No matter the value things by have such as our finances, homes, cars, buildings, friends, family, or businesses, placing our hope in these things can never delivery us when sickness comes knocking, when the grave comes calling. When we place on hope in that which is unseen, in Christ Jesus, in God’s Kingdom, in love, in faith, in God’s deliverance, then we start to have the kind of hope that goes beyond our current situations. We have the kind of hope that not only keeps us in this life; but it’s stored up for us in the life to come. If we only hope in what can see, what kind of hope is that? Our hope needs to be in God, in his Son Christ Jesus in which all the promises of God are being fulfilled. We when are filled with hope in God the Father and Christ Jesus, nothing will be able to break us, we will never fail, because our hope will always remain in the Lord, no matter what we have to experience as our faith is tested, we overcome in Christ, and we always trust in God.

December 16, 2019Willing Vessel
Willing Vessel – is a teaching about what it means to become a willing vessel of Christ Jesus. We all come out of the world, which has shaped us into an unwilling vessel, unusable by God. We chased our own ways, plans, and beliefs. The Lord through his power, strength, and authority calls us and then he breaks and mold us into a new creation, like clay, into a useful vessel for God. Through Christ Jesus you and I can be made into a willing and holy vessel of God, established in the Lord. If we remain an unwilling vessel, though the Lord has called us, we will be unchangeable, disobedient, and prideful and we teach others to be the same. But if we allow the Lord to examine us, to see reveal what makes us so unwilling to obey, unwilling to be led by the Lord, unwilling to give our lives to God. Then through the loving, kind, and sturdy hand of God, we are transformed from an unwilling vessel to a willing vessel. This process will take time, patience, and endurance on our part to receive all the Lord wants to change about us. It takes time to prepare and reshape us, time to remove the old, the bad, and replace it with the good God intended. We need to be made over, shaped and molded into a useful vessel for God, useful for his purpose and will.
