Walk in the Blessing!

Do you want to walk in all God has for you?

To accomplish this Goal, instead of doing it our way.

We need to do it Yahweh’s

We must get rooted and grounded under a good shepherd or (pastor) and follow the leading and guidance of that pastor. Be the sheep and not the goat.

Example of a good shepherd read (John 10; 11): He is a pastor who is not self-seeking, but is willing to lay down his life (ones soul, life, self) for his sheep.

Be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only!!  (James 1:19-27).

If we truly believe what God has said we will be willing to do it.

Let God deal with your enemies. That is his job; our goal should be to show the world the love of Jesus. Numbers 10; 35-36: If the children of Israel would have did what Moses instructed them to do, they would have made it to the promise land, and would not have had to die in the wilderness.

Trust that Yahweh’s way is the best way.  He has and will supply your daily needs: Exodus 16:1-8

We must know that God is for us and not against us. Since the fall of Adam he has been working his plan of salivation to bring us back to himself.

Let us remember to do it Yahweh’s way and not our way. Let us walk humbly before our God as Moses did, and let us fully live the life, that JESUS desires for us to live.

  • Hide the Word in Your Heart

    Matthew 26:75 “And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.”

    MATTHEW 26:75
    There are several Greek words used for “word.” The Greek word used here is RHEMA and it literally means, “a spoken word; an utterance, a saying, but specifically a spoken word appropriate for the situation.” It’s not the Bible lying on your coffee table that makes the enemy flee, but the Word of God hidden in your heart, activated by the power of the Holy Spirit, and spoken in the appropriate situation. It’s similar to what Jesus says in John 6:63, that “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.”

    The words that we speak from the written Word of God are empowered by the Holy Spirit. The Word by itself doesn’t make us free. It is the Word we know and speak that will deliver us (Jn. 8:32).

    Why is the Word so effective? Because it is the WORD of God. It has authority, because it is indeed the WORD of God. God’s Word supersedes all authority of the church, of reason, of intellect, and even of Satan. That’s why it is so effective.

    In Luke, chapter four, when Jesus was tempted of the devil for forty days, it was the Word of God that Jesus used to defeat the enemy at His temptation.

    Jesus constantly met His temptation by quoting from God’s Word as He repeatedly stated the phrase, “It is written.” Likewise, the Christian soldier must avail himself of God’s Word by placing it in his heart so that the Holy Spirit may bring it forth at the appropriate time to accomplish a complete and total victory.

    Receive the ministry of angels.

    Luke 22:43 “And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.”

    We have angels assigned to us. Hebrews 1:14 further reveals that their purpose is to minister to us, on our behalf. In the Old Testament, Psalm 91 teaches on the ministry of angels to God’s people.

    Some people who have realized this truth have taken it as far as to say that we are suppose to speak to our angels and they will obey our commands. There is no instruction in scripture to do this nor is there any example of that being done. We don’t have the intelligence to administer all of the angels.

    Many of the angels’ protective duties described in Psalm 91 are preventative, and we certainly could not effectively command these activities.

    Rather, these angels are dispatched exactly as this verse describes – by looking at the Father’s face. God Almighty controls them for us; however, we do have a part to play. Psalm 91 prefaces all of these promises about angels as being for those who dwell in the secret place of the most High. Verse 2 further instructs us to say that the Lord is our refuge and fortress and in Him we trust.

    It is the combination of our faith in God and His faithfulness to us that releases the angels on our behalf. If it was solely up to God, His provision would be the same for everyone because of His mercy and grace. However, we have to receive God’s grace by faith (Eph. 2:8). As we seek the Lord, become aware of His ministering spirits which were created to minister to us, and speak forth our faith in this area, He will send forth His angels on our behalf.

    Psalms 37:4

    Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart

    I have been born again and serving the Lord now for 10 years, but before I submitted my life to Jesus the only desires I had were my own fleshly desires. By fleshly I mean I loved to smoke about 2 packs of cigarettes a day, and usually a pint of jack daniels on the weekend.

    But if you surrender your life to Jesus and do as psalms 37:4 says. You will find out that when you delight yourself in the Lord your desires that you use to have will become Gods desires. This made a dramatic change in my life, I am now healthier, and have more money to spend on my wife and family.

    So if you are a Christian and you are struggling in any area dealing with your flesh, just commit your ways to the Lord and ask him to give you the desires that he has intended for you .

    And if you do not know Jesus just do what Romans 10: 9 says. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Do not worry about the problems you have if you do not know Jesus, just come to him as you are and he will help you with the problems.

    Say yes 2 Jesus today!

    Delight thyself

    Fresh Manna from Heaven

    Jeremiah 33:3

    Gods calling card# Jer:333

    This word came to me when my wife and I took the family up to the mountains for Labor Day . As I rose up early in the morning to begin breakfast, I first took the time to sit and be still and fellowship with the Father. As I did  Jeremiah 33:3 was ringing loud in my spirit. The Lord said call to me and I will show you mighty things to come. Just as you plan for your childrens future here on earth, I have planned and mapped out each stage of your life.

    Seek me says the Lord and I will show you the way . For I am the way the truth and your life. Love Jesus.  This really inspired me to keep my total trust and confidence in my Savior. I will not look at my circumstances and let them direct my path.  I will look  to Jesus who has already cleared the path so that I now can freely follow my course with power and victory!

    Say yes 2 Jesus today!

    Live Long, Live Strong!

    by: Gloria Copeland

    The Bible has a lot to say about God’s will concerning our life here on the earth—how we are to live and for how long. God has a good, long life planned for us. But without that revelation, when we reach 60 or 70, we may start winding down and getting ready to go.

    God never meant for us to die young. It’s His will for us to live out the full number of our days. Traditionally, Psalms 90:10 has been quoted in regard to man’s life expectancy. It says: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten (seventy years)—or even, if by reason of strength, fourscore years (eighty years)…” (The Amplified Bible). But what most people don’t realize is that reading this verse alone is taking it out of context. A footnote to Psalms 90 in The Amplified Bible explains:

    This psalm is credited to Moses, who is interceding with God to remove the curse which made it necessary for every Israelite over twenty years of age (when they rebelled against God at Kadesh-barnea) to die before reaching the promised land (Numbers 14:26-35). Moses says most of them are dying at seventy years of age. This number has often been mistaken as a set span of life for all mankind. It was not intended to refer to anyone except those Israelites under the curse during that particular forty years. Seventy years never has been the average span of life for humanity. When Jacob, the father of the twelve tribes, had reached 130 years (Genesis 47:9), he complained that he had not attained to the years of his immediate ancestors. In fact, Moses himself lived to be 120 years old, Aaron 123, Miriam several years older, and Joshua to 110 years of age. Note as well that in the Millennium a person dying at 100 will still be thought a child (Isaiah 65:20).

    Here we learn that the Israelites who died at 70 were living under the curse caused by disobedience. According to Galatians 3:13, Jesus has redeemed us from the curse being made a curse for us. If we have made Jesus our Lord, freedom from all the conditions the curse causes belongs to us—that includes sickness, destruction and early death.

    So don’t have the mindset that you should only live to be 70. What God actually said about man’s lifespan is found in Genesis 6:3: “And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”

    Think about it. That means at 60 you are just middle-aged. That’s not the time to start slowing down. Instead stand on this scripture and others like Psalms 103:2-5: “Bless the Lord…who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction…who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Be determined to enjoy to the fullest the many productive years the Lord has promised you.

  • Say What the Bible Says

    By Lynette Hagin

    It is so important that we start our day with the right kind of words. Psalm 118:24 gives us the right kind of words to say: “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” What a good idea to start each day saying what the Bible says!

    Some people may naturally enjoy getting up early and watching the sunrise. Not me. I am not a morning person. I prefer the night rather than the morning. In fact, my energy level increases around midnight!

    Therefore I would prefer to say, “Oh, it’s morning. I will not rejoice and be glad in it.” But I have discovered the value of speaking the right kind of words when I arise. Even before my feet hit the floor, I start saying, “This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.” A lot can happen between the time you sit up in bed and when your feet hit the floor!

    For example, one morning when I first awoke, I put my foot down on the floor not realizing that my foot was asleep. My foot collapsed beneath me, and I twisted my ankle severely. As I was lying on the floor, gripped with pain, it wasn’t an easy thing to say, “This is the day the Lord has made.” But as I began to quote that scripture, strength rose up on the inside of me. I was able to recover from the pain, get up, and perform my tasks for the day.

    By our words, we can choose to have a good day or a bad day. Our world is created by the words we speak. I encourage you to start your day by boldly making your confessions of faith.

    Each day I ask the Lord for wisdom. James 1:5 says, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” I have found that as I ask for wisdom, the Lord helps me in making major decisions as well as daily minor decisions. I have often seen people stress over making decisions. I simply tell them that if they would ask the Lord for wisdom, decisions could be made more quickly. The Word says that we have not because we ask not (James 4:2).

    The Lord is always ready to assist us in anything that we need. Yet, it seems we neglect to ask of Him until we have exhausted every other avenue. Why not try going to the Lord first? We will find that we will save a lot of time and effort.

    Another thing that I ask for daily is strength. Isaiah 40:31 tells us, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” As I wait upon the Lord and commune with Him, He certainly does renew my strength. People often say to me, “You are so full of energy. What is your secret? What kind of vitamins do you take?” I tell them, “It’s not vitamins. I simply ask the Lord to supply me with an abundance of energy. And He always accommodates me.”

    The Word says that the joy of the Lord is our strength (Neh. 8:10). If I’m getting stressed out, I begin to laugh. I find that as I laugh, my stress disappears and my strength is renewed.

    Whatever circumstances you may be encountering today, know that the Heavenly Father cares about you. Your circumstances may look bleak, but those circumstances can be changed when you speak the Word of God. Choose to have a good day; say you will have a good day; and your good day will become a reality!
