TESTING LOVE

TESTING LOVE

When God says, I’ve given you the power to bless and the power to curse, but don’t curse anyone unless I God command it so. When you get such a favor, consider it a test of love (1 Peter 4:8). Like going to the market you check each fruit before putting it in your basket, God test your love volume to see your level of usefulness. Listen, if even demons can be used to carry out judgments on the disobedient, wouldn’t you rather be a better person for God today? Even without having the power to curse it’s done heavily, fluently, effortlessly and ragingly, there’s no challenge in that. Real challenge begins when you come face to face with those who’ve bullied you, lashed out at you, chastised you, rebuked you even when you were not in the wrong, demanding your apology though you deserve theirs, while repeatedly crushing your spirit and laughing while they’re in the power to do all this as you are powerless. Know this, sometimes, there is also power in surrendering your right to their wrong. Sometimes, God plans it this way for as you’re exercising the right to love for God regardless of the situation, He’s using that foolish thing to confound that wise one. You don’t have to like these situations but you must always love the person’s soul unto God regardless of how ugly they may be acting toward you, That is Christlike. There may almost, always be a possibility that they’re being held bound by an evil that has tapped on their weakness long enough to find room to use them against you and the only way to free yourself from that is to truly love them for God, despite the crappy things they sent your way. Often, it’s about how much of Jesus in you are you willing to share with others for soul saving purposes. Sometimes, it’s about laying down your weapon in face of danger even if you know you may not come out unscathed, but believing God enough to pull you through despite the ridiculous position you find yourself in. At times, God is saying, Son, I’ve called you to go beyond the known, surpass the unknown to gain this one soul for me, I just want you to be willing only, then I’ll do the rest. I will show up. I am Your God. I have not brought you this far to leave you. I allow you to be in the face of danger to see your reaction, to see your faith activated, to test your love level, to show you the You that I already know but that you still must be introduced to. You’re a diamond in the rough. I’m digging through the rough to bring you out. I’ve done the majority of the digging already, what you’re feeling is but the turbulence of the aftereffects. But this part you must go through on your own in order to appreciate reaching your destination to gain your prize. Else all would’ve been too easy, lacking charm, and you wouldn’t honor it as much if you’ve not toiled for it. When God gives you the power to bless or curse, be very sure that He will send your way many whom you’ll feel deserve to be cursed. It’s up to you to uphold God’s expectancy of you and choose wisely to bless even a suppose cursed. Not all situations are like this, but to ignore this is to set yourself up for failure. O ransomed soul, God has shown you His grace on so many occasions so that you also would learn to pass on the lesson to those you deemed undeserving, it’s a test of your love for God in respect to life. Have you expanded your loving grace today? God is checking to see if you’ll do as the unforgiving servant who refused to pardon others even after his great debt was totally forgiven (Matthew 18:24-33). It’s easy to act irrationally even under the influence of love after receiving grace and forgiveness. But God is always there to remind His own. I have been gracious toward you even after you’ve scarred me, trampled over my love, ripped my heart to shreds, violated my trust, undermined my authority, mocked me, used deception and caused others to stray from me as a result of your foul actions. Though I’ve forgiven you despite your multitude of sins, you couldn’t find it within yourself to forgive another even on one account? What have you learned from the grace that I’ve shown you, O daughter in the Faith? You, Sons and Daughters must learn to love and forgive as God commands it, for this also is to be Christlike! Follow the golden example of His pure love and do likewise, Jesus taught you well! For in doing so, you would have upheld His teachings and made for Him disciples in the Faith. You would have helped to solidify another’s foundation in their Faith walk. Don’t you know Dear One, in steering one into righteous path, you also gain forgiveness over a multitude of sins? (James 5:20).
“Bless them that curse you, bless them and curse them not.” (Romans 12:14, Matthew 5:44)
My prayer for you is that you come to know God’s love on such a level that you love freely for God’s glory before journey’s end.
Jesus soon come, let’s ready our hearts!

REACHING ONE

REACHING ONE

God is calling each of us to step out of our comfort zone and to reach out to at least one soul for Him. In doing so, He meets us along the way, reinforces our barriers, strengthen our spiritual demeanor in Him, redirect our paths, brings fruit in stagnation, gives forbearance in temptation, revives in us all that had died. We only need to make an effort to meet Him on the way! Though life’s hardships often make us feel less than human, God in Jesus sent salvation for the broken to be mended. We only need to accept to take the medicine for our ailments. Because God is ALL ABOUT US! EACH ONE REACH ONE FOR GOD! BE AN EVIL CYCLE BREAKER TODAY, RETURN TO GOD WHO SEEK TO HAVE AND DEEPEN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS PEOPLE! IT’S DOABLE BY GRACE!

Psalm 34:8 (9 in some versions)
“O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trust in Him.”
James 4:8 “Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you…”

YOU CALLED?

YOU CALLED?

Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
James4:8

God looks forward to us coming closer to Him else He wouldn’t have said come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). He meant that. The same keen, attentive hearing you’ve developed now, sometimes, don’t you wish you had that exact keen hearing from the start of your faith walk with God with the obedience to follow and fall in place? When you look back and recognize mistakes made along the way and having learned better now, sometimes don’t you wish you could’ve jumped ahead into quick obedience? Well, it doesn’t work that way. Life’s essence is based on trial and error, and for most people, to learn the lesson thoroughly; they had to have had the bitter experience, learned from the harsh sting and live to testify it, instruct it, preach it, & glorify God through it! Either way, God will receive His glory! Unless a lesson is learned, the experience isn’t embedded deep enough in the core being. It has become so much easier to turn a deaf ear to God throughout time so much that no one tries to listen anymore, while many denies he speaks at all! This is The Revival that still needs to be had, that still need to reawaken within the soul of many believers. It’s a spiritual tone deafness that causes even the most fervent hearts to be impaired in their judgment because the Holy Spirit has long since been stiffled. If your source of comfort is stiffled then the people will have had committed spiritual suicide. They would result to becoming a walking corpse, a bleached (whitewashed sepulchres-Matthew 23:27) tomb, a flower that’s lost its fragrance, a sun that lost its shine, salt without flavor! How then will you savor the anointing? For just as we who are many have become one body in Christ, (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) so also, the group efforts of all senses are necessary for the whole to be absorbed. How, oh how will we ever be able to perform effectively? Dear believer, never stop listening for God’s voice and always check to confirm what’s heard. It’s best to stifle all other voices but to tune in to God, rather to stifle God and tune in to all other voices which seem to have been the trending occurrence. It’s detriment to the existing and coming generation the deafening silence that’s imposed. Isn’t it already too evident how such a state has fallen too deeply rooted within the very core of our young ones beings? No longer are we raising Samuels who come seeking out Elis for response of God’s divine calling (1 Samuel 3:4-10). The rhythm and vibration of one’s spiritual hearing must always be aligned into God’s word for the evil one tires not and the world waits not on you catching up before targeting its victim’s void! The seal (plonb), that has filled too many’s ears must be lifted finally for the effectiveness and plenitude of complete revival to be sbsorbed. As the Shofar has many sounds (tekiah, shevarim, teruah, and tekiah gedolah), to alert the listener, so also must each believer learn to listen and recognize the voice, tune, rhythm, sound of God’s Spirit that constantly calls out to His own. Samuels, be attentive, LISTEN to God’s comfort drawing you near! Never be afraid of asking God, “did You call me?”

Don’t be the reason why others stop listening to God, rather, be part of the reason why they run to God asking if He spoke. THIS IS A CALL TO SPIRITUAL ARMS. The armors of God (Ephesians 6:11), isn’t the only arms needed for these times, with ALL your being, be sensitive to the Holy Spirit! Tune your ears to His Words, His Words is revelation to draw in souls! There’s been alot of talking true, but if it isn’t God or Godly, it’s effectiveness on the soul is nought. SAMUEL, BE OBSERVANT, REVIVE AND LISTEN!!!

PRAYER TO GOD CONT’D

7 dips/plunges
The Prophet Elisha told Naaman to go dip in the Jordan river seven times (2 Kings 5:1-19). He was reluctant, but it brought him healing when he did, WITHOUT A TOUCH. Obedience brings forth healing! Do you want to be healed? Accept, receive, and take your bitter truth medicines-JESUS HEALS! OBEDENCE IS WORTH MORE THAN THE SACRIFICE! (THOUGH SOMETIMES THEY WORK TOGETHER TO BRING ABOUT SWEET CHANGE, you must be willing to go through the process to reach the gain)! Oftentimes, the miracle happens while obeying, but our carnal eyes don’t pick up on the evidence until the full process is complete. (Like the 10 lepers when one of them realized healing had been settled, he returned to give thanks, Luke 17:11-19). It kind of make you wonder if the other 9 were blind or faithless to their healing or did they just take it lightly that they had been healed! Maybe, like many of us, they didn’t realize their healing had settled until years later, one day out of the blue they realized “oh hey look, I’m no longer suffering from this ailment. When did it stop hurting? I don’t even remember anymore!” It’s a sad thing to become so accustomed to one’s pain that even deliverance from it goes unnoticed because on the inside something died, we became numb to cope. Never let yourself become so dead or numb on the inside while trying to cope with anything. Always renounce, denounce what ails you even if it seems bigger than you, and feels like it’s swallowing you out of existence. Take a ridiculous leap of faith on God’s promise because you can’t go wrong in doing so. It beats ending up on the wrong side of living anyway! What you must do to be healed might sound ridiculous, and like Naaman, you might want to raise some questions that may sound logical to your situation, but GOD IS GREATER THAN ALL LOGIC. That thing stands in line to God’s will. So obey without understanding to reach the undeserved healing that you hunger for. He who has begun a great work in you is faithful and just to accomplish what He started. He has NOT brought you this far to abandon you. God in Jesus is the greatest fisher of men and when He cast His net over you whether it is to heal, save and correct you, He won’t miss; the Holy Spirit gives no chances, (Ezekiel 32:3). Now is the time to obey!!!

WHISPERED REFLECTION

WHISPERED REFLECTION
This was just whispered into my spirit, “even the worst so-called enemy has at least once been a teacher!” Meaning, whether the source is listed or not, identified or not, categorized or not, recognized or not, understood or not, accepted or not; at some point in life, that source has been used to project a lesson that might’ve gone unlearned if not imposed. All of us have sources that we would rather not receive advice, help, or instruction from. However, God being who He is will take it upon Himself to use whatever sources He sees fit to bring knees to fold, to crush arrogance, to suppress stubbornness, to heal ignorance, to mold His own-then, a lesson is taught. After which, the source will pay for having been made available to be used in such a fashion toward or against God’s child. This is purely an example of God using foolish things to confuse the wise. That’s why it’s important to never feel yourself too wise in your own eyes because no matter how much of the answers you’ve gathered from your prolonged research, there still will remain undiscovered truths. Because you see, the Ultimate Truth resides ONLY in HE who has been, is, and forever will be Himself! He who gave us the Word that became flesh to walk among us speaks His Truth in us constantly, a whisper of Himself He bestows within our spirit. That small portion is often so mind-blowing to us that from such we often are blessed enough to write songs, poetry, story, books, filled libraries, making history, shaking worlds, rising new eras of Ages. All of which comes from a single whisper of God’s person through Christ whom we know as the Word, Way, Truth, and Life. We live in the Whisper of His Reflection!

THE QUESTIONS

THE QUESTIONS
I asked God a question, “God, why do you love me when everyone seem to despise me?” The answer came like a flash before I could close my thoughts mouth! “Because, you’re mine, and you’re created in my image and resemblance! To hate you would mean I hate myself!” Then I was directed to John 15:18-19, “if the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as it’s own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”
We all know God could never hate Himself or people, He only hates the things that people do that are against His will!

Have you ever been so vulnerable that you feel like everyone hates you? I mean, it’s not true; not everyone, but still you feel it because the enemy is working overtime to destroy you, because God’s grace overshadows your life and evil’s reign of terror isn’t over! He comes to kill, steal, and destroy. The more you draw closer to God, the more the evil one despises, hates, and is enraged at you because your efforts threaten him, reminding him of the loss that can never be regained. So, any chance he gets, he’ll infiltrate through any vacant heart lot to get to your very last nerve, even to the point of provoking you to turn against self! Because one person’s trial is different from another’s, when encountering such persons, pray for them if you can. If you can’t, let God handle them without adding false judgment on their pile because you don’t know their story that causes things to result to such a state. But your sincere prayer may bring things to light for you both. In doing this, you show God and self that you’re big enough to show grace toward others as He’s done for you. That’s actually living what you have been taught like a good student, while remembering your battle is NOT against flesh and bones as yourself but against principalities. Often, we may run into people that makes us feel like they’re walking principalities stuffed within a being, our focus of attack must never be against that person but against the evil that seems to possess, empower, control to use them. That, in fact, is also showing that you have history with walking with God, have received instructions for such situations, and you’re bold enough to put such learned skills into effect. Doing this with an understanding that, at one point you also was on the other side of that spectrum and God allowed someone to take patience with you until you matured and received enough of His Grace to overcome. That is actually sowing forward from what you received as a good student who learned well.
Yes! Not everyone hates or despises you. You only have one enemy dear child, brother, sister in the Faith, that enemy is lucifer, satan, the devil, the ancient beast, the very first to corrupt God’s Eden, and dares to attempt to ransack God’s creation, creatures, children at every opportunity given or not!
And so, your question to yourself should be, Am I living daily in the way of God’s word? Am I doing what God expects of me? Do I remain suited with God’s armors to withstand the enemy’s wiles? Am I projecting God’s image and likeness even when I’m sick, angry, sad, disappointed, or indifferent? How Godly am I today as opposed to yesterday? That is only some of the questions that one should ask of self to refine one’s relationship with God in such a fast growing cold and corrupt world. With these goods at heart, one can only project God’s loving goodness outward. For Jesus soon comes, and His word says, “…if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” (1 Peter 4:18)! Because “…from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew11:12). If we must show violence in any form, it should be the fierceness in battle when going through spiritual warfare, being aggressive when fighting against evil in order to reach God’s ordained destination over our lives. This is part of the “hot” that God’s word speaks of in Revelation 3:16. To prevent God from spitting you out, it’s in your soul’s favor to have a spirit that’s heated or passionate on doing Godly good, it adds emphasis on the fear of God that resides within you. Because time is at hand, and we’ve been living the last minutes of that last hour before Jesus returns to take home His own. For those who battle until the end and achieve victory, Jesus will give the right to sit with Him on His throne as God did for Him, (Revelation 3:21). So my dear brethren, let us fight the good battle with focus on the crown of glory that is reserved for the faithful; when we will finally hear, “Well done, oh faithful setvant!”
After all your toiling, wouldn’t you like to hear that welcome at journey’s end?

THE HEART, WHEAT & WEED

THE HEART, WHEAT, AND WEED
No one can predict what cruelty may rise in another’s heart, this is why there’s such a great need to have Jesus at heart. The heart of all of mankind is in the palm of God’s hand. Only He knows beyond our knowledge for He Is Omniscient. With Jesus being the Way, Truth, and Life of one’s heart, no one would falter! This is why God’s word says MY CHILD, GIVE ME YOUR HEART! If Jesus, The Word, dwells within our hearts, then it is accessible to God at every disposal.
God already knew, of all the organs in a person’s body, the one that controls a person most and can easily cause them to stray is the heart. And so in order to keep the whole body in check, that organ must have a Safekeeper; that in itself is Jesus our Mediator, Messiah, King and coming Judge!
When we accept Jesus as our personal Savior, we benefit all of this and more for life and even after Jesus comes for us. As long as we live in obedience, repentance and fear of God, we will eat the best fruit of the land, that’s in His promise. God will even take away what belongs to the enemy to give to us because we live a life pleasing to Him. But all these basics take root deep within our hearts.
Plant good wheat so that weed will not destroy the field of your heart. For soon the Master will burn all the weed that was ransacking the wheat field. When Jesus comes, if He finds you in a state of weed then you’ll be burnt with all the ransackers; but if He found you remained wheat despite weeds surrounding you then you’ll be harvested into his attic! While you’re remaining wheat however, beware to not spread discord and refrain from derooting the weed. The weed is there to use as fuel to remind you to stay focused on Jesus so as not to become lesser than what and whom God calls you to be. Even if it’s weed, it has its purpose. Just be sure to remember your Godly purpose even in the weeds presence because though you’re in the same field, your destinations are not the same! Keep focus on nourishing your heart Godly so as to remain Wheat! #WORD!!!

HIS MERCY STILL EXTENDS

HIS MERCY STILL EXTENDS
You’ve seen some dark days
But His mercy still extends
Sickness overtook your body
But His mercy still extends
Troubled waters tossed you
But His mercy still extends
Contrary winds opposed you
But His mercy still extends
Evil cords held you bound
Yet His mercy still extends
Depression tried to drag you down
But His mercy still extends
Spiteful tongues rose against you
His mercy still extends
Despair overpowered you
Yet His mercy still extends
Friends and loved ones left
But His mercy still extends
Felt defeat in many battles
Yet His mercy still extends
Alone in crowded rooms
His mercy still extends
He carries you in His love
For His mercy still extends
Chains and coffins broke
Because His mercy still extends
At journey’s end you’ll understand how
His mercy extending still extends

BELIEVER’S WEAPON

BELIEVER’S WEAPON

satan comes to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10). God calls us to do greater things than Jesus did; (John 14:12), greater than raise the dead, restore the broken hearted, building each other in faith. We also are vessels being used against the devil’s wiles. Holiness, sanctification, integrity, determination, strength, support, resistance, devotion, loyalty, faith and love are key ingredients in our stand. We are intrusted with this great task as we attract souls to Christ.

CLOSED CAPTION-NO OPTION

CLOSED CAPTION-NO OPTION
To you who is done with yourself, you’ve sinned. Who are you to be done with yourself when God Himself isn’t done with you yet? And He created you for His purpose and glory!
To you who refuses to forgive yourself? Who do you think you are to be holding God’s vessel captive when He Himself forgave you long ago? Are you bigger than God? Be careful how you treat God’s temple! He’s taking notes!
To you who doubt every Godly thought God has given you? How dare you to even consider these shortcomings when God Himself believe in you enough to trust you with His Truth?
Have you not yet learned that it was with you in mind that He sent the great flood, through Noah rebirth the world? Through Abraham gathered children of every race, nations, and tongue to give you heritage and roots? Through Moses He set for us laws and statutes for structured living? Through Jacob God found in Joseph a path to bring humanity salvation’s alliance in Christ!
Have you yet to realize that if your eternal enemy cannot find ways to condemn you in daily tactics that he’ll turn it inward to make you turn against yourself so he can say even you condemn yourself so that should be justification of any and all charges? You who didn’t create yourself and who can’t control a strand of hair growth, breath or heartbeat? You who knows when you were born but has no clue how long you’ll live or when your mandated expiration is at hand? You whom God has sealed for the day of redemption and must live it until His great plan over your life has fulfilled because His word will Not return to Him void until It has done what it was set out to do in full?
You need to understand this one thing! There are some things for you they are closed caption, no option! The limit has-been drawn for you clearly! Respect the boundary and Honor God in Self Dear Godly Vessel Favored to do God’s bidding!
At ease as you’re tending to self honorably soldier while you remain on guard in the battlefield! Message received? As you were Valiant Warrior! SALUTE!
