Your Identity Is To Trust God

Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.  For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

See that you refuse not Him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaking from heaven:Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.  And this word, Yet once more, signifying the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:For our God is a consuming fire.

You wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.

1 Cor. 1:9&12;Col 3:3;Heb. 12:25-29;Isa 26:3

Complete in Jesus Christ

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another have fulfilled the law.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shalt love your neighbor as yourself.

After this, JESUS KNOWING THAT ALL THINGS WERE NOW ACCOMPLISHED, THAT THE SCRIPTURE MIGHT BE FULFILLED, saith, I thirst.  Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "IT IS FINISHED": and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Luke 24:44;Rom. 8:4;Rom. 13:8;Gal. 5:14;John 19:28-30;John 3:16

Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall find rest unto your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden in light...Amen.  Martha was troubled about much serving and she asked the Lord to tell her sister to help her, but the Lord said, Martha, Martha, you are troubled about many things, but one thing is needful, (which Mary was listening to his word sitting at the Lord's feet and learning of him), which Mary has chosen that GOOD PART, that SHALL NOT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HER..Amen.

Grow in Grace, in the knowledge of the Lord...

Laying Down Your Life, and Taking It Again

With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

He that believes on the Son have everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.

Therefore do my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

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.

A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Psa. 91:16;John 17:15;John 3:16;John 3:36;John 10:10-11;John 10:17-18;John 1:4&12,13;John 13:34;1 John 3:16

No one can make you lay down your life, this is voluntarily, of your own free will, don't say I was forced to do anything for anyone, but that you love fervently and cheerfully, not to receive anything, from anybody, but from a pure motive.  But the commandment also is to take your life back, again...Amen.  Because God loves you too...Amen.

Your Father Sees You!

Take heed that you do not your alms (good deeds) before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Therefore when you do your alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues (church buildings) and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand do:

That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall reward you openly.

And when you pray, you shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues (church buildings) and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly.

But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Be not you therefore like unto them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching; Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you meet withal it shall be measured to you again.

Matt. 6:1-8;Rom. 12:6-8;Luke 6:38

Alms are your works, good deeds, and your ministry to others, even prayer and worship.

Get That Prayer Answered!!

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

1 Cor. 11:17;Matt. 18:19;Matt. 18-20

When we come together in one place it is not for when things are going good.  Because we are instructed to come together when things are going wrong, this is acceptable to God.  So let us agree and come together, when a brother and/or sister in Christ is going through something; we will pray and agree, like that time that Peter was taken to prison, and the saints agreed and cried out to God in one place, that very night, the Lord sent his angel and delivered Peter from the prison.  The saints being in prayer didn't realize that God heard them, and Peter was outside the place, knocking at the door. They didn't realize the power in agreeing together....Let us come together for the worse, humbling ourselves asking for agreement from other children of God, not gossipers, but worshipers of the Living God, the Lord Jesus Christ...the Power of Agreement, Amen.

According to His Riches in Glory

For thus saith the Lord, You have sold yourselves for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money.

Ho, everyone that thirst, come you to the waters, and he that has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.

And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Isa 52:3;Isa 55:1;Matt. 21:12-14;Phil 4:19

The Lord Have Need Of It

Saying, Go you into the village over against you; in the which at your entering you shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.

And if any man asks you, Why do you loose him? thus shall you say unto him, Because the Lord has need of him.

And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose you the colt?

And they said The Lord has need of him.  And they brought him to Jesus.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God.

Luke 19:30-35;Rom. 8:38-39;Deut. 28:2

Sleep Is Good!

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world give, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, cares you not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep.

When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

Upon this, I awoke and beheld, and my sleep was sweet unto me.

John 14:27;Mark 4:37-40;Psa. 127:2;Prov. 3:24;Ecc. 5:12;Jere. 31:26

Worship God Everywhere

Then comes he to the city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

The woman says unto him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."

Jesus says unto her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

The woman says unto him, I know that Messias comes, which is called CHRIST: When he comes, He will tell us all things. Jesus says unto her, "I that speak unto you, am He."

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, "The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, Look here! or Look there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

And Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is Hear O, Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  There is none other commandment greater than these". And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, you have said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And no man after that durst asks him any question.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the City. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and makes a lie.

And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defiles, neither whatsoever works abomination, or make a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

John 4:5&19-26;Luke 17:20-21;Mark 12:29-34;Rev. 21:27;Rev. 22:14-15

Here we see that Samaria believed in God, but didn't know God, not realizing that God revealed Himself to the Jewish people and that we can learn of God through them.  The twelve Apostles were Jewish, the root of where Christ came from.

But NOW we see that God is receiving all that worship him in spirit and truth. We see now that we must worship God anywhere not just in buildings, the assembly for God is everywhere at one time, anytime, doors always open through Jesus Christ into the kingdom of God. The Twelve Apostles taught us what God wants us to understand about Him through Christ Jesus, you can only come to God through His only begotten Son otherwise you are a thief and a robber. And if two or three are gathered in His name, he is in the midst of them but outside the kingdom of God are dogs, and sorcerers....

Walk by Faith and Not by Sight

God Is, He is Still on the Throne,

And Deep in your Bosom,

You have a Phone,

Whenever you Walk,

You are not Walking Alone,

Remember God is Still on the Throne.

Let me tell what I think of Jesus,

How I found in him a Friend so kind and true,

Let me tell you how he changed my life completely,

He did something that no other Friend could do,

No one ever cared for me like Jesus,

There's no other friend so kind as He,

No else can take my sins and darkness from me,

Oh how much he cares, he cares for me.   

But without faith, it is impossible to please him: For he that comes to God must believe that He Is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; And be content with such things as you have: for He has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.

Now you may boldly say the Lord is My Helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.

Heb. 11:6;Matt. 13:45-46;Heb. 13:5-6
