You Allowed It

Charity is maturity: Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he allows.

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loves us.

1 Cor. 13:7;Rom. 14:22;Luke 10:19;Matt. 18:18;Heb. 5:8;Rom. 8:37

If you allowed the enemy to do these things against you, learn from it, because God gave us the power over all the power of the enemy.  Let God be true and every man a liar.

The Lamb Of God

Remember, If you had not received Christ Jesus as your PERSONAL Savior, You would be in your sins. If Christ didn't die for you, rose from the dead, descended into the lower parts of the earth and ascended up far above all powers in the heavenly places, sitting on the right hand of God, you would not be saved. There is power in the blood of the Lamb.

Vessels With Oil?

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for you? tell me, what have you in the house? And she said, Your handmaid has not anything in the house, save a pot of oil. Then he said, Go, borrow vessels abroad of all your neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when you come in, you shall shut the door upon you and upon your sons, and shall pour out into all those vessels, and you shall set aside that which is full. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt, and live you and your children of the rest.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom? And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see you hurt not the oil and the wine.

2 Kings 4:1-7;2 Peter 1:20-21;Matt. 25:1-12;Rev. 6:6

Who is this New Wine? The Holy Ghost

Jesus said unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he said unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not where it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And said unto him, Every man at the beginning do set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.

And no man puts new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desires new: for he said, The old is better.

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not here forth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Wherefore here forth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now here forth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who have reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and have given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and have committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be you reconciled to God.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see you hurt not the oil and the wine.

John 2:7-10;Luke 5:37-39;2 Cor. 5:14-20;Rev. 6:6

God's Holy Word

Everything in black and white is not always right,
Only God's Holy Word can win this fight.

Everything in black and white is not always true,
God's Holy Word knows just what to do.

This is truly God's battle and it's not by might,
God's Holy Word is Spirit and it's not by sight.

So speak God's word faithfully and don't be afraid,
For the Lord is the one that the battle is weighed.
For you shall see throughout all your days,
That God is for you and not to be amazed.

For God has said, "Surely blessing, I will bless thee..",
So keep your head up and just let it be.
For you are blessed, without a test.
So Praise the name of the Lord!

The Lord Jesus Finished It, Look To Him And Live..

Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against you; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make you a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. When you come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. For in eating every one take before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. What? have you not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise you the church of God, and shame them that have not? That shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do you, as oft as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, tarry one for another.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

Num. 21:7-9;1 Cor. 11:18-33;1 Cor. 10:8-10

Be A Lover Of The Truth

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.  In whom the god of this world have blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  The devil was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.  Be a lover of the truth, my brethren.

1 Pet. 5:8-9;2 Cor. 4:4;John 8:44

Prayer Of Charity And Faith

My Heavenly Father, give me the grace that teaches me to have faith in you on a daily basis and brings me to the life of Christ. Which is that I would lay down my life for the brethren, this is that charity that you have given me in Christ Jesus, which is the fruits of the Spirits, that your Holy Spirit transforms this flesh into the image of Christ because he loved his friends and anyone that you, Heavenly Father, brought to him. Thank you for your guidance in everyday matters so I may know your voice ultimately, in the name of Jesus, amen.

Faith, Hope and Charity

Faith is the substance of the thing that is hoped for, and Faith is the evidence of the thing that is not seen. Faith is what pleases God, and the Son of man Jesus Christ is looking for faith on the earth. We all in Christ have a measure of faith, according to what God is given to each one of us. There is a faith of salvation which this faith is extended to every walk of our lives, provision, healing, deliverance, prosperity. This salvation faith is the root of our faith in every thing we need and want. I say "want" because our Lord said, if you have faith and doubt not, you can say...to whatever the problem is be done, this or that and it shall be done, and nothing shall be impossible to you. Jesus came to the sycamine tree looking for fruit but at this time this tree didn't bear fruit as yet for it was not it's season but Christ said to it no more shall you bear fruit, and the tree withered. If we think that we are condemn for our faith God knows that he will purge us that we shall be a new lump. Purging us that we may bear more fruit saying that we can ask what we will and it shall be done. The unbelief comes in when we continues to look on the outside of us, (lust of the eyes) for results according to the thing hoped for.  But faith is the evidence of the thing that is not seen. So that is doubting when you look on the outside off and on that is not faith, the thing was not done the first time is because you doubted not because God don't love you. We need to seek again for that perfect word from God that would take away all doubts and fear, for the thing that is hoped for. The three greatest things in Christ is faith, hope and charity, if you have no hope how can you have faith. Knowing God so loved us, not we loved him first but God so loved us He gave... Should give you "hope". Faith comes by hearing from God from sometimes just from one word. Hope comes from testimonies of God's goodness. But faith comes from hearing God speaking to you individually. Charity is a christ-like fruit that we lay down what we want to do or what we are in this life and help the brethren. Charity is like that land which is our flesh, that flows with milk and honey, which these things are natural products of the earth that God made.  You must count yourself dead in this life to have the fruit of charity established in your flesh.  For charity is a Christ life. I thought about when I prayed for some people and it seem like God was not hearing me, the word says that "when we know that he hears us, we know that we have the petition that we desires of him".  God still communicates with us today, that's why Christ said "having ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches". God spoke to the prophet and the patriachs and in these last times spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things... That same God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob is still in the blessing business, that if you should seek after him, The woman that had a issue of blood is one of our favorite stories because she knew that Jesus was passing by, she heard of God was with him and she knew that she had been to many physicians and nothing had happen for her, so she seen that the crowd was pressing around Jesus, feeling not able to see how she would get his attention but knowing that God is with him she said, "If I could only" touch the border of his garment, probably the moving of his garment was the only thing she could get a hold to because of the pressing of the crowd. Let's think about our problems, you already know God has done things for you before, so you can draw from your faith to believe that if you do something that you know that God would see your faith, and it would be done, it don't have to be like anybody else's faith it is your small belief that if you make a move things would happen for you, this can be a longsuffering situation but it is your faith, don't worry how your faith in your God looks like to others (pride of life), or to yourself (lust of the flesh), just believe your God. God is indeed is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, this fact you should always believe. Don't let your feeling of the past stop you from getting the blessing you have been desiring, keep moving by faith to get God's attention, and hold on to God's unchanging hand, he did things for others and he is able and willing to do things for you, for it is his good pleasure to give you the kingdom, don't be afraid of nothing, just know God is good, he made a way for you to come to him for your needs to be met, whatever the need may be, to be met, by giving his Son a sacrifice for your sins, come to God and to his loving hand of mercy and grace. God grace and mercy has gotten you through you are living this moment because of His sacrifice for your sins. God, your grace and mercy has gotten me through.

When You Are Converted

But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren.

Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; He rises from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he pours water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then comes he to Simon Peter: and Peter said unto him, Lord, do you wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do you knows not now; but you shall know hereafter. Peter said unto him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash you not, you have no part with me. Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and you are clean,....

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.

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.
