Believe

Glory to the one and only Almighty God!  And, Bless the Lord!  We're living in the last days.  In Christ we abide in his ways.  We won't be shut down.  We're not alone.  We won't go until our God calls us home.  Oh year!  We were expecting this.  There ain't no such thing as a hit or miss.  Our God in Jesus Christ has given us life.  I'm not of this world or under it's control.  My God says "Let's Roll", He''s raised up the army.  It's time to fight that good fight of faith.  We already know that God is in control.  No need to worry no more.  The battle is already won.  Our fight has begun.  So let's get this done.  No fear here.  I'm just keeping it real.  The enemy might as well get under my feet.  Cause I trust and believe, in the almighty God.  I won't be terrorized, I'm not wearing a disquise.  I know where to focus my eyes.  I'm keeping my mind.  Focusing on truth.  It's in his Word, "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day" (Psalm 91: 5);
 
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling (Psalm 91: 10).
 
In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee (Isaiah 54:14).
 
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day (Psalm 91: 5);

Testimony Freedom I know

There's such a thing as using the word "I" entirely to much.  Than  there's also such a thing as not using it enough.  When Moses asked God how to reference him, he told him "I am that I am."
Magnificent! 

Our relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Ghost gives us power in using that one letter word when we give testimony, when we apologize, when we forgive and many other references to the Kingdom of God.  We have been given that authority in Christ not for our own purpose, though it does bring about heavenly fruit and whatever else comes along with it.

I just want to share what sharing what God has done, is doing and will do in my life has done in my spiritual growth. 

Know this:

I'm not there, but I'm on the way.  The more I know; as have been said before; the more I know I don't know.

Know this:

Testimonies brought about in my life are not always originated or activated by me.  Therefore they are not premeditated. Through regular interactions with others I share and we share.
 
I believe God brings people on my path who need a word of encouragement sometimes.  Spiritual revelations supernaturally given by God. As a living testimony I can tell you, it goes both ways even at the cross roads. When we give testimony of our experiences in Christ; be it trial, miracle or blessing.  It is not just for us, but for outreach and others in need.  In doing this we can see pieces of a glorious puzzle.  Than we have gratitude as the veil begins to lift. 
We experience that joy unspeakable and full of glory. Treasures from heaven, right here on earth.

Know this.

Location, sex, position, status or race has no respect of person inside his grace or mercy. Therefore I, as well as anyone else can and do, freely share our faith with the unction of the Holy Spirit. To be used by God in any situation. Knowing freely we have been given and freely we should also give; with a cheerful heart as he said in his Word.

Lifting up others, and preferring others over ourselves. Giving all Glory to God. Being able to listen as well as speak; while resisting the enemy who would have us focus on our inadequacies,  Thus hindering the spirit.

I say this because;  I live this life and have to dress daily in the armour of God to fulfill that purpose. And I don't, always do that. Yet, I know without  doubt the battle is already won. Still we must fight the good fight of faith.  Not just now; but consistently through all the trials, distractions and or interactions we face daily.

I can only speak what I know and believe to be true in my life.  I have no ability or desire to be anyone other than the one born again in Jesus Christ.  Still, temporarily residing in the physical form of this flesh.  Daily dying and Daily arising.  From glory to  Glory in his Glory.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11).

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give (Matthew 10:8).

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 ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again (Luke 6:38).

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you (Exodus 3:14).

Idenity

So many people or labeled or characterized by the things they do.  This is something I would consider to be untrue!  Because if that were the case we would all be lost somewhere in the midst of dirt.  And yes sometimes the truth does hurt.  But think about this.  Because a bird flies, does it make him a fly?  Ok, we know that's nonsense. 

Yet as the human beings we are; created in God's image having dominion over all the earth.  Why would any Christian allow such a thing determine their value and worth?  Especially when he showed us how much we are valued and loved by allowing his only begotten son to be crucified, persecuted, forsaken, rejected, denied and humiliated so that we might be saved. 

He was resurrected from the dead and included us in his resurrection.  Therefore we being born again and resurrected by the truth, the way and resurrection itself; can be confident in who we are.   Sons and Daughters of the MOST HIGH!!!!  If we believe.  The Kingdom of God is within us and we know for a fact that we were born in this world to die.  But, we can be born again and resurrected into everlasting life. 

As we are in Christ and He is in us.  We have a new Identity.  Our self perception and identity is of a supernatural source.  We must know who we are and not accept a definition, description or image that is outside of the truth because of what we may or may not do.  We are who we are by grace.  No works of the flesh could ever save, elevate or live beyond this world. 

Therefore as we preach and as we teach.  Let's be real because the truth is in and of the Kingdom of the MOST HIGH!!!!!!

Glory to God and Bless the Lord!

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2Corinthians 5:17).

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21).

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (John 11: 25): Glory to God and Bless the Lord!

New Year-New Birth

Glory to God and bless the Lord! My perspective about Christmas; is that. Regardless of when Jesus was born. He was born. And the best part of it is being able to show love. Because he was born to do just that, as he did. Therefore we should be grateful that day and everyday of the year. By giving and sharing that gift of love. Let's end this year and start the next with an open heart; willing to give and share who we are in Christ.

We have the capacity to exist within the midst of the omnipotent.  Practice makes perfect.  Our character and demeanor should be that of peace, love, joy, hope and all the fruit of the spirit. 
For those who may not get it (the revelation of the Word).  We Christians are to exemplify the image of God.  Knowing who and what we are.  So that others may see our good works in Christ, and be found in the way of everlasting life.

As Jesus was born, crucified and resurrected; so should we be born again and resurrected from the death of sin and destruction into the glorious light of our Savior Jesus Christ.  So we may be used as a tool in the Masters hand.  Regardless of the persecution, condemnation and sin we were first born into.  As Jesus endured; so shall we be delivered, cured, saved and restored to the Father.

Happy New Year! Be Blessed in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Glory to God and Bless the Lord! [Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21).

The Point

 Some may ask themselves "What is the point of all this, to follow the tradition of man in reference to the pilgrims?"  We can include that however the point is simply one day of rejoicing and giving thanks for the many blessings we have received throughout the year.  Something we should do everyday.  On this day we give thanks in union preferably all over the world for all things including being able to see another year to give thanks.  It doesn't matter what state we are in.  Whom we have dinner with or even if we have it alone.  There is always something we can give thanks too.  So let us rejoice, make some joyful noise and give praise to the Lord!!!!

Matters of life

Sometimes we can be overwhelmed with all the worldly issues of life, and it's not even worth the energy, time or second thought.   Our God is more concerned with the heart.   Are we grateful for his son?  Do we truly believe that he was the sacrificial lamb for our sin and that we are saved only by his grace.   If we endure.   Just as he was resurrected in the flesh; in him we are resurrected also into life eternal!   Hallelujah!  

Glory to God and bless The Lord!    

In the Word it says:  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  This is the first and great commandment. And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets (Matthew 22: 37-40). 

I think we need to put more emphasis put on that and who Jesus is.  How he lived on this earth in the flesh.  How he loved, healed, delivered and saved;  always correcting the pharaoh- sees.  

Let us therefore abide in Christ and him in us that we may do what saith The Lord.  

J.J. Hairston & Youthful Praise - It Pushed Me

Count it all joy

God  brings and allow people in our lives for all kind of reasons; and the end result is always pleasing.  We Sometimes, however,  allow people in; that has nothing to do with  God's purpose, from beginning to end.  They may even be a hinder to our spiritual growth.  Drawing you away from the lord, when you're trying to get close.  We must always be ware and act like we know.

The enemy will send people in to your life as well and if you're not paying attention or do not care.  You may find yourself in a dark place wondering how you got there.  Therefore we must access the gift of discernment and see if God's in it.  All people, places and things are not heaven sent.  When they are, there's a Godly purpose in it.  As the Word says, we shall know them by the fruit of the spirit.

Whatever circumstance and where ever you are.  Nothing in this world should be able to separate you from the Lord, and nothing should be given space to move you out of place, or hinder you from doing what God has called you to do.  Be it storm, rain, wind or fire.  He has given us a comforter and we shall get through.

We are of the kingdom of the most HIGH, and we see past the flesh though our spiritual eyes.  Knowing the kingdom of God is not divided and does not consist of sinful surprises.  All that is build on his word is of the same accord, and is not concerned with the things of this world.  Does not distract or cause a negative impact. 

As we increase in our spiritual walk, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Gods purpose is what this is all about.  In this we care, we share, and we are aware, of the spiritual wickedness out there.  Therefore we dress daily, in the Armour of God as we give praise and worship in spirit and truth.  Doing what God has called us to do.

In joyful celebration of our salvation.  We sing songs of praise within our hearts as we lift one another up through turmoil and the tribulation days. 

There's no condemnation, and no discrimination  between those of relation in Christ.  Because we're going in the same direction.  Toward everlasting life.  We are at liberty to be all God created us to be and our purpose is not to serve the desires of fleshly needs.  Our ambition is of God, to be used in the plantation of Christian seed and Christian deeds.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2nd Corinthians 6:14

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.  Romans 14: 17

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.  John 15:19

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world 1 John 4:1

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 2 Corinthians 10:3-4

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:13-18

The Ressurection

Glory to God and Bless the Lord Today, Hallelujah!
 
Our King has risen with all power in his hand and we no longer have to be in bondage of sin. We have an opportunity and Chance to be born again. Hallelujah! 


He has been resurrected from the dead, just as he said. All we have to do is confess with our mouth, believe that he is who he is; and we too shall live! In him, Hallelujah! 


Jesus Christ; the only begotten son of God. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Today we have every reason to give thanks and praise, because in him we are in the way, we are in the truth, we are saved! Not by our works, but his amazing grace! 


Therefore let us rejoice and make a joyful noise. Glory to God and Bless the Lord!!




Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (John 11:25):



Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me (John 14:6).



By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:2).

Do you know what time it is?

Glory to God and Bless the Lord this evening! : )  Hallelujah!  I heard the Man of God say that we can expect persecution, and we need to realize the time we're living in.  Do you know what time it is?  Well let me tell you.  The enemy is on a rampage and we must confess Christ!  we're living in a time where it's an offence to speak the name of Jesus.  It's fine to say God, but not Jesus.  We have to beware of conforming to the things of this world.  The Word of God says if we confess Jesus before people, he will confess us before the father, and if we deny him he will deny us. 

It's time people.  Time to wake up!  To be strong in the Lord and his Might.  We have to be that light in darkness.  We have to let this world know that we are saved by grace!  The grace called Christ! Hallelujah!  Glory to God and Bless the Lord.  Indeed we have a charge to go out into the world and preach the gospel.  To do the work of an evangelist.   I would advise you to be mindful as I also.  Stand in the name of Jesus Christ,  Amen.

 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you (Matthew 5: 10-12).

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: (John 12:42)
.
And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12: 2).

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour (Matthew 12:26).

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day (John 12:48).

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven (Matthew 10:32-33).

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day (John 12:48).

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword (Romans 8:35)?

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry (2 Timothy 4:5).
.....
PS:  Remember, we are saved by Grace. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8):
