We follow the model of
“Christ within us” as the hope which gives us the ability to
overcome evil in our lives.

egotten.
I was going to place part
two of Rev. Wole’s devotional up today, but the Holy Spirit moved me
to place this one. This one the LORD gave me last night and the Holy
Spirit moved me this morning to share this with you. We have all
wondered, well many have wondered why the word “begotten” was used
to describe Jesus.
This is for the spiritually
mature. Read on. Let’s now think about the human procreation
process—a sperm from a man connects with an egg from a woman. That
is the human process whereby children are produced in current human
biological processes whether in nature (through sex) or in man’s
carnal nature (in a test tube). Either way, that is how it is done.
So now the question is: How
did Jesus (Yehoshua, Yeshua) get created? John 1:14 says that
He, Jesus was flesh. If He was flesh, then He came into direct
contact with the Laws of Nature which is why He could not jump from
the top of the temple or any height without the consequences of that
action. This is due to the fact that God’s Will for His Life did not
include Him jumping and God or the Angels saving Him.
Jesus had to obey the
earth’s Natural Laws. He could change them or bend them only if it
was according to God’s Will. (This is where many fail in our
spiritual growth—there is a desire to do and receive things that are
not in God’s Will for our lives and therefore God does not, His
Angels do not, Jesus does not intervene because a person may be
outside of His Will for their lives. Christ comes into the picture
then, because Christ bore the pain and suffering of living as God in
a flesh vehicle, Jesus; and therefore has the ability to save us
from our misguided ways, because He, Christ and Jesus has earned the
Right (hear Righteousness) to manipulate natural laws.
Let me get back on track. So
imagine the Holy Virgin Mary before conception—no sex with a man—in
bed and something is happening to her. What? Imagine God—bigger than
the universe (He made it)—trying to get inside of Mary—an
impossibility. Nothing is impossible with God. So instead of placing
His whole self, His entire Being inside of Mary, He places a part of
Himself. This part is His Only Begotten Son, which is represented to
Holy Mary as Christ. This Christ part of God (Christ—the Anointed
One) was with God in the Beginning. Jesus was yet born through Holy
Mary. Remember, Jesus was flesh.
Christ, God, the Holy
Spirit, the Angels, and members of the Holy Family are ALL SPIRITS.
You and I are flesh and spirit. So was Jesus before His
CRUCIFIXION—He was flesh and Spirit (Big “S’); we are flesh and
spirit (little “s”). It was that Big “S,” God’s Spirit that came
into Virgin Mary and begets Jesus. Begetting means basically, a part
of me is mixed with a part of you and something new is created from
that which never was—not a clone, not a test tube creation, but a
“God-Creation.” A mixture of God and man—Jesus, Yeshua who with the
help of Christ within Himself could withstand the wiles of the devil
and the temptations of both man and satan. We follow the model of
“Christ within us” as the hope which gives us the ability to
overcome evil in our lives. Exhibiting the “fruit of the Spirit”
(Galatians 5:22) allows….
LORD, Messiah, we love You and appreciate these times in which
we are living. Please give us the courage to stand when we need
to stand, to speak when we need to speak, and the wisdom to know
when to bridle our tongues. Let us stand before Kings and let us
profess Your Word to the world. Amen.
“By this we
know love, because He laid down His life for us.
And we also
ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

(NKJ)
Lessons
of the Cross - 2.
See Part One, 31 March 2008. Jesus has set a kingdom operating
pattern for us to emulate. The message of the Cross signifies
selflessness. It signifies expression of the true and unfeigned
love of God to man. This means we should express genuine and sincere
love to one another.
This is how we
know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we
ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. (1 John 3:16)
“For God
so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting
life.” John 3:16
If
you know John 3:16, you will understand 1 John 3:16.
How does it operate? Here are four lessons: Prayer, Giving, Serving,
and Love.
GIVING:
Give to those
who are above you. Give to God and your Pastor and other
ministers as you are led.
Secondly,
give to the needy and poor such as orphans, widows, strangers,
the destitute. Proverb 19:17.
Thirdly, help
those who are at par with you in their quest to fulfill God’s
destiny for their lives. Sow into their lives for this purpose.
Finally, look
forward for God’s faithfulness to reward by faith. Proverbs
11:24-25, Proverbs 3: 9-10.
LORD, Messiah, we love You and appreciate these times in which
we are living. Please give us the courage to stand when we need
to stand, to speak when we need to speak, and the wisdom to know
when to bridle our tongues. Let us stand before Kings and let us
profess Your Word to the world. Amen.
“The word of the LORD came
again to me, saying: Son of man, there were two women, the daughters
of one mother. They committed harlotry in Egypt, they committed
harlotry in their youth; their breasts were there embraced, their
virgin bosom was there pressed. Their names: Oholah the elder and
Oholibah her sister; they were Mine, and they bore sons and
daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah and Jerusalem is
Oholibah.”
EZEKIEL 23:1-4 (NKJ)
E
zekiel 23.Part One. It is 5:06 and I have just
finished doing part of the Pathway to Success. I will share you my
experience. I have got to do something because bills are three
months past due, book sales are slim, and the revenue streams we
have in place are only sprinkling in the money—not enough. But I
know that eBlessings is on the way to “overnight” success. So I am
making a place for the Pathway of Success and am going to share my
experience with you. eBlessings looks big, but it is a start-up.
So after morning prayer and as I sat down to the computer, I
remembered to take a few minutes to do the Pathway of Success which
is asking the Lord to give me the “Daily Bread,” a chapter from the
Bible. I used the New King James Bible, but in the future I will use
the King James Version. I believe that doing this routine will, if
nothing else, give me more time with the LORD—and that can’t be at
all bad.
I did not use the “Divide the Words” prayer (I haven’t shared that
with you yet) or the “Receive Prayer” found on the Prayer page. For
directions on how to do the “Pathway of Success” please go to the
Prophesy page.
I asked the Lord to give me the “Daily Bread” and opened the Bible.
It opened to a page with something in it. I took that something out
and tried again. This is a relatively new Bible. I tried again. It
opened to the back page flap; and again, the front page flap. So I
asked again, trying to avoid getting the inside of the back or front
covers and ping, it opened to the middle of a chapter—EZEKIEL 23.
I turned back a page to get to the beginning of the chapter. Then I
began reading aloud. It was an interesting story and then the Holy
Spirit began to share with me what I was reading. (Know this: I
cannot read anything without seeing the spiritual aspects of it.) I
cannot read the Bible like a novel. It comes alive when I read it;
whether aloud or silently. Moving right along…
When I
got to verse 38, the Holy Spirit came upon me and it became
difficult to read any more. I paused and continued into verse 39,
crying unabashedly through the words, the tears, the sniffles, the
joy of the revelation being revealed and the pain of the sadness
revealed in the revelation.
Verse 37:
“For
they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have
committed adultery with their idols, and even sacrificed their sons
whom they bore to Me, passing them through the fire, to
devour them.”
Translation: They are in poor relationships which positioned
them to do bad things which caused people to die. They were in
relationships with the things they desired and were in love with
those things. They were so much so in love with those things and
desirous of those things that they gave their sons and daughters to
continue to get and have those things. (Now mind you, as I was
reading the verse out loud, what I have written above is what I was
hearing.) The sisters have given their children, these same children
who were baptized in the name of the LORD and given to Him at that
baptism; they have given God’s Children (in idolatrous sacrifice) to
get their desires. They have sacrificed their children, putting them
in firefights, through the fire of war which they knew would devour
their children so they could get and keep their idolatrous desires.
This
parable is about two harlot sisters (England and the United States).
Please read the entire chapter of Ezekiel 23. I will explain
the beginning of this chapter in the next devotional, Part Two. In a
nutshell, the parable is about two harlot sisters who were once in
the bosom of the Lord and then went astray playing the harlot; and
God was angry.
Verse 38:
“Moreover they have done this to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary
on the same day and profaned My Sabbaths.”
(God is
talking here through Ezekiel. God (YAHWEH) is saying, “You did this
to Me—defiled My Sanctuary (My Church (not the pastor’s church or
the “Johnson’s family’s church or the denomination’s church – God’s
Church)) and defiled My Sabbath (My Holy Day (whichever day you
submit to God and hold as reverent to Him)). (Don’t get lost in the
drama of days—which day is the Sabbath—a spiritual trap.) But have
SACRIFICED your CHILDREN through war for your gain, for your
idolotry on MY DAY.
Here is
verse 39, then I must stop for today.
“For
after they had slain their children for their idols, on the same day
they came into My sanctuary to profane it; and indeed thus they have
done in the midst of My house.”
You do
not go into anyone’s house and start any mess—especially not God’s
House. I will explain the above verse and more next time.
MESSIAH, LORD we love You and allow our expectations be in You
and Yours. Allow us to see You in everything and everywhere You
exist. And show us how to serve You as You would have us to
serve You. Allow us to know to wear the fruit of the Spirit and
to seek the Holy Spirit to execute Your Divine Will more
perfectly. Thank You, we appreciate it and You. Amen.
“And
a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was
parted, and became into four heads.
The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the
whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx
stone.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that
compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth
toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.15And
the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to
dress it and to keep it.”
GENESIS 2:10-15
(KJV)
W
hen
the Lord created man,
He placed him in the Garden of Eden. This was Adam and Eve’s place
to live in, their calling and purpose was connected to this place.
It was their headquarters from which they were to rule and reign the
Earth. Now there was a river there that has as its purpose to water
the garden. Water in Scripture is a symbol of life, of nourishment,
of provision.
The water of this river
reminds me of another water, the living water the Lord is giving
each and everyone of us. This living water, interestingly enough,
also springs out from a river, this time a spiritual river – the
river of the Holy Spirit in us. Isn’t the Lord amazing?
The river in the Garden of
Eden became four heads, which went in their specific
destinations. One of them went around a land where there
was gold, and a good one. This is speaking of provision.
There is still another
river, about which the prophet Ezekiel speaks, and it also brings
provision in the form of healing and restoration
to the nations.
My point is that if the
River of the Holy Spirit is in us, He has placed it there for a
purpose – to bring God’s provision in every area of
our life, so we, on our part, can fulfill God’s calling and destiny
in our lives, dressing and keeping the spiritual “garden” the Word
has placed us in (Genesis 2:15).
MESSIAH, LORD we love You and allow our expectations be in You
and Yours. Allow us to see You in everything and everywhere You
exist. And show us how to serve You as You would have us to
serve You. Allow us to know to wear the fruit of the Spirit and
to seek the Holy Spirit to execute Your Divine Will more
perfectly. Thank You, we appreciate it and You. Amen.
As you also
serve your colleagues, look forward for God’s faithful rewards.
“He who is
faithful in whatis least is faithful also in much;
and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.
Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you
have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you
what is your own?”

tip on how to increase church attendance.
RJ
Hancock.When RJ
Hancock discovered that I was going into business, he said, “Mr.
Brown, let me give you some advice.” He said, “Every
buyer that comes to you to do business with you and your business,
has your future in their pocket. Regardless of what you are selling,
they have your future in their pockets. When they don’t purchase
your products or services they don’t mean you any harm. But they are
in a selfish world, and they have your future in their
pockets.”
This man, RJ
Hancock “rolled out” with a new Ford every year. He dropped me off
at the curb and he pulled on off. So I starting thinking about
this--how he was able to do that. I saw him later on and I asked
him, “Mr. Hancock, what were you talking about when you dropped
me off at the curb that day?”
Listen
to what he said…
“If you
don’t get the referrals up front, you are going to always wonder
where the business is.”
As I thought
about what he was saying, he explained himself. He said, “When
the buyers come to buy from you, regardless of what you are selling,
and they don’t mean any harm by this; but remember this: that buyer
is in a selfish world, they don’t mean any harm, but this is
the way the game is played. You have to get those buyers up front to
give you referrals before they get what they want.”
“The
buyers,”
RJ Hancock continued, “will say to you, I will give you the
people I know after you get me straight.”
That never
works. You will be the loser. Just think how many buyers you have
lost because you didn’t give them what they came for—they didn’t get
“straight.” You did ask for the “Five Referrals.” But remember,
“They are in a selfish world, and they have your future in
their pockets.”
“You didn’t
get the sale and therefore you didn’t get your “Five Referrals.”When they were just standing there saying that they would give
you the referrals a few minutes earlier; in fact, they had said they
knew of two or three interested parties.”
Just think of
how many people that were lost, because the “Five Referrals” were
not received. After the buyers make their buying decision that
doesn’t include you, they will look at you real plain as they wave
“Bye, bye.”
When
the buyer says this,“After
I get mine, I will give you all the people I know,”watch them when they roll out that Automobile
Dealership, or leave that Attorney’s office, or while leaving the
Real Estate office, or watching them leave the Apartment Community
Home office. This is the way the sales people have been doing it—not
asking for the “Five Referrals;” not meeting the Sales Goals.
CHRIST, LORD, thank You for allowing us to see another day and
live it to the fullest for Your Glory to achieve Your Goals Your
Will and Your Purposes in this day You have given us. Let us O
LORD not waste another moment of time delaying our fulfilling
Your Will in our lives Father God. Bless Your Holy Names. Amen.

Network of Nepal -1.
(A.K.A. Reuben Rai’s Ministry, Profile) Churches Network is a Nepali
Ministry that is actively taking part in the mission to build the
kingdom of God by planting churches. Churches Network works in
partnership with other communities who have the same vision to build
and equip the body of Jesus Christ. we are a non-denominational and
non-profit association of Nepali churches founded in 2003 by mission
minded men of God.
They
are currently being led by Mr. Reuben Rai. Here is a description of
the ministry in his words:
"If
God is with me I will achieve my mission and objectives. This is my
faith in God. God has and will send some one who will help us go and
do the work. 10 years ago I was put into prison while caught
preaching the gospel. But I feel we have sufficient freedom to do
God's work, today. Only together can we plant churches in Nepal. A
belief that only together we can reach Nepal this understanding
of partnership led me to found churches network".
Churches Network
raises support to help pioneer church planting work in un-reached
places in the Himalayan Region.
Please remember
this ministry in your prayers as they work with women, youth and
children, spread the good news, help the poor, and plant churches
all over Nepal.

LOVE:
Love God with all

those who are under you as well as love your equals. (Mark

In conclusion,
the message of the cross is selflessness, sacrificial love (agape)
and kindred spirit expression. This manifests God’s character in our
lives. Jesus had come to reveal the true nature of God to man and
then, reconcile man to God. (Matthew 5:3-16)
He had come to
turn the minus in man’s life to plus; change negative to
positive--and change sinners to saints so that Gentiles can be part
of the commonwealth of Israel and aliens / slaves can have “Sonship”
right. God made him whom had no sin to be sin for us, so that in
Him, we might become the Righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians
5:21)
Finally, the Lord
has given us the ministry of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians

Help
people make the right decisions.
I have been working with
Dr. AC Brown on his seminar series—a really great series which
he imparts his secrets of making money. It seems that I am too busy
to use them. Are you?
One of the
procedures
Dr. AC Brown teaches is: Help people make the purchasing
decision you desire. Additionally, he teaches you how to get
people to make the decisions you want them to make.
Yesterday, I was
riding with my nephew Alex and we approached an intersection. I saw
this as an opportunity to share an “ACBrown”
procedure. We were about twenty (20) car lengths from an
intersection. There were about four (4) cars going through the
intersection from our direction and there would very soon be a four
to six (6) car length gap in the traffic. A car from the opposite
direction (the on-coming traffic) was waiting to make a left hand
turn. The automobile turning left was going to squeeze in front of
me as I approached the intersection. I understood and realized that
that person driving that car was about to turn left in front me.
All to this
thinking happened in a flash, a moment. I turned my steering wheel
slightly to the right positioning my car to the right side of my
lane.
Then I said to my
nephew Alex, “You see how I moved over to the right side of my
lane.”
“Yes,” was his
reply, “I wondered why you moved over.”
“That is because
I am applying an “ACBrown”
procedure: Help People Make the Best Decision.” I continued,
“That car down there,” I said pointing to the car in the turning
lane, “is going to turn sharply in front of us. There will a gap in
traffic which will give that person a decision to make; one that
involves us: whether they should cut in front of us or wait until we
pass.”
“Okay,” was
Alex’s reply.
As we entered the
intersection, I explained to him how my moving to the right side of
my lane, gave the other driver the impression (probably a true one)
that if he or she attempted to turn left in front of us, we would
have hit the back of their car. My move (hear: my decision)
prevented them from making a poor decision (turning in front of us
when they should not have) and help them to see and make a better
choice.
Our Lord God and Savior Jesus, who is the Christ, please
increase the understanding of your Children and help us to
prepare our lives to receive Your Will and our Divine Destiny

Faith in the
Blood of Jesus is paramount to the Christian believer.
“This is a day
you are to commemorate;
for the
generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the
LORD—a lasting ordinance.”
EXODUS 12:14
(NIV)
Efficacy
of the Blood of Jesus.
(Exodus 12:12-14) Introduction: April is called the month of
Abib in Jewish calendar. The significance of this month is so much
in their lives and history. It is the month of Exodus when God
delivered them from Pharaoh and led them on their way to the Promise
Land.
Before they left
Egypt, they observed Passover which marked their deliverance from
draconian taskmasters under Pharaoh’s authority. When every effort
to get them freed proved abortive because Pharaoh was adamant, the
Lord told Moses to instruct all Jews in Egypt to kill sheep or goat
per household and mark their houses with the blood of the sheep so
that as the Lord would visit Egyptians with terrible plaque, He
would Passover the Jews by the reason of the blood mark on them.
“On that same
night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn-
both men and animals- and I will bring judgment on all the gods of
Egypt, I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses
where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No
destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.”
Exodus12:12-13 (N.I.V)
The blood saved
the Israelites from destruction while the same blood destroyed
Egyptians and their gods. The same blood transferred the wealth of
the Egyptians to the Jews. the Red sea opened up for them to pass
through dry land by the Lord’s command. The same Red Sea destroyed
Pharaoh and his army.
“By faith the
people passed through the Red sea as on dry land; but when the
Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned ” Hebrews 11:29

36 AND
as they thus spake, (Luke)19
the same day at evening, being the first day of the week,
when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear
of the Jews, (John)36
Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace
be unto you. 37 But they were
terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
(Luke)
38 And he said unto
them, Why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and
see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus
spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet (Luke) 20
and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
(John)41 And while they yet
believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here
any meat? (Luke)
(Luke
24:36-41; John
20:19-20)
42 And they gave him a
piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43
And he took it, and did eat before them. 44
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. (Luke)
45 Then opened he their
understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46
and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ
to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 and that repentance
and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And ye are witnesses
of these things. (Luke)
49 And, behold, I send
the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of
Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. (Luke)
21 Then said Jesus to
them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent
me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said
this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye
the Holy Ghost: 23
whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and
whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. (John)
(Luke
24:42-49; John
20:21-23)
24 But Thomas, one of
the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25
The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord.
But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of
the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust
my hand into his side, I will not believe. (John)

14 Ways the
United States government is giving away Social Security payments and
benefits.
“And strangers
shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall
be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the
Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye
shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye
boast yourselves. For your shame ye shall have double; and
for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in
their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be
unto them.”

Social
Security Change for 2008. The illegal alien
issue in America needs to be addressed by not from a racist
perspective. The National Policy Institute is not a Christian

interesting information. Check it out. Many of the links do not work
but do your due diligence. The United States Senate voted to extend
Social Security Benefits to illegal aliens beginning in 2008. The

lessing of the Blood. Part One.
(Revelation 1:5-6)
Forgiveness of sin: “…And
without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”
Hebrews 9: 22
The blood shed by Our Lord Jesus
Christ on the cross at Calvary is the acceptable and permanent
atonement for the remission of man’s sin. No more blood of goat,
sheep etc for atonement. Jesus said, “It is finish” i.e. no more
sacrifices for atonement as far as sin is concerned. He has
already paid the full and final price for redemption. (Hebrews
9: 10)
Salvation: Man can only tap into
the finished work by believing the gospel, repent of sin and ask
for forgiveness by Christ Jesus. Then make Jesus your Savior and
Lord over your life. (1 Peter 1: 18-19, Isaiah 1:18-19,
Revelation 5:9)
Justification: Romans 5:9,
No more guilt because by His resurrection, we are justified
which means, just as if we never sinned. Salvation brings man
into a state of innocence before God. Jesus has taken man’s sin
and the curse of the law upon His own head (thorn of crown) on
the cross to give man His own innocence. Therefore, no more need
for calves’ blood which does only ceremonial atonement. If the
Son sets you free, you are free indeed. (CONTINUES)
Our Lord God and Savior Jesus, who is the Christ, please
increase the understanding of Your Children and help us to

As
Christians, we want to aim for Christ inside of us
because Christ inside of us is the Hope for the world.

ohn 17:13-16.
Jesus is speaking. “And now come I to
thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have
my joy fulfilled in themselves.
I have given them
thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the
world, even as I am not of the world.
I pray
not that thou shouldest take them
out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the
evil.
They are not of
the world, even as I am not of the world.
Sanctify
them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
As thou hast sent
me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
And
for their sakes I sanctify myself,
that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Neither pray I
for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through
their word;
That they
all may be one; as thou,
Father, art in me, and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us:
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
And the glory
which thou gavest me I have given them; that they
may be one, even as we are one:
I in
them, and thou in me,
that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know
that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Father, I will
that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that
they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst
me before the foundation of the world.
O righteous
Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and
these have known that thou hast sent me.
And I have
declared unto them thy name, and will declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast
loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
Lord please relieve any blockage from the enemy which would
prevent or slow the fulfillment of Your Will in my life. Remove
any hindrances which would prevent me or us from receiving Your
Glory. Allow us O LORD to receive Your Glory so You can be
lifted up in the eyes of men. In Christ, Emmanuel I ask and
thank You Father God.

Blessing
of the Blood. Part Two. (Revelation 1:5-6) Please read Part
One, Tuesday April 22, 2008.
Healing:
Jesus received 39 stripes by whips with sharp objects that tore
His flesh. The blood and water that came out from His body is
for healing. 1 Peter 2:24: “He himself bore our sins in his
body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for
righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.”
Deliverance from Curses:
Galatians 3:13: "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law
by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is
everyone who is hung on a tree."; 1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a
chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who
called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." The
blood of Jesus from the crown of thorns has broken the curse of
the law and the power of hardship / struggles from Believers’
lives and cause the Gentiles who believe in Christ to have
access to the blessings of Abraham, the father of faith.
Galatians 3:14: "He redeemed us in order that the blessing given
to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so
that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit."
Blessings:
Apart from that mention above the bible says, Jesus was rich
but, became poor for us so, that we might become rich. 2Corinthians 8:9: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became
poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich."
The riches of Christ available for Christians is first spiritual
and then soul, financial /material. 3 John 2: "Dear friend, I
pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well
with you, even as your soul is getting along well." Divine
revelation through wisdom of God and His creative ability can be
tapped into by people of God for our prosperity; spirit, soul
and body. Instead of slaves of sin that we were under the law,
Jesus through His blood shed has redeemed/freed us and made us
kings and priests to serve our Father. Revelation 1:5-6 (NIV)
Lord please relieve any blockage from the enemy which would
prevent or slow the fulfillment of Your Will in my life. Remove
any hindrances which would prevent me or us from receiving Your
Glory. Allow us O LORD to receive Your Glory so You can be
lifted up in the eyes of men. In Christ, Emmanuel I ask and
thank You Father God.
Amen.
Many churches
strive and survive off of your tithes and offerings.
“The earth is
the LORD’s
and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.”
PSALM 24:1
(NKJ)
“When thou
hast made and end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the
third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given
it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow,
that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;”
DEUTERONOMY
26:12
(KJV)
T
ithes and
Offerings / Widows and Orphans.
I was speaking to a friend concerning financial situations. They
seem to often say, “It is going to come.” Speaking of a blessing, or
they will say... “The Lord is getting ready to bring it… you know He
doesn’t bring it to the last second of the last quarter of the
game.”
The person gives
tithes and offerings at the 20% level; not even thinking twice about
the giving (and that is the way it should be. Churches strive and
survive off of your tithes and offerings.) This person gives their
tithes and they are always broke—they are always without money. Do
you know that story?
So I asked them,
“What is supposed to happen when you pay tithes and offerings?” He
squirmed around giving me this group of words and that group of
words. At first I tried to cut him off (stop him from talking) then
I allowed him to finish—allowing him to get those “blocking words”
out of his mouth, then I asked again. “What is supposed to happen
when you pay your tithes and offerings?” He would start again. I
asked the question again, then he capitulated, “You are supposed to
get blessed,” was finally his reply. “Right,” I responded.
“So,” I
continued, “if you are paying your tithes and offerings and have
nothing to repent of and you are living as righteous (right with God
(Yahweh = Omnipotent One)) as possible, and you are not carrying
around resentment, ought, angst, negative energy concerning anyone
or anything, then your tithes and offering will be multiplied to you
10 fold, 100 fold, 1,000 fold, or 10,000 fold according to the Word
of the Lord (according to the Bible).” Check it out—do your do
diligence (study).
The person said,
“I pay my tithes. I pay them 20 percent.” I said, “That I understood
that and that was good that they were paying tithes and offering at
a higher percentage.” “But,” I suggested, “that if you are still
broke, living from paycheck to paycheck – if you have cleaned out
your ATM or bank account twice this month, you may want to consider
that your tithes and offerings are not going to the right place, to
the place where God wants them to go, because God is not honoring
your tithes and offerings with His Promises.”
“Consider,” I
said, “What God said as a true church undefiled is one which serves
the fatherless and widows. Perhaps your tithes and offerings would
be better served pointed and focused at the heart of God’s
interests: the fatherless and widows, the poor, the sick, the
imprisoned, the homeless.”
“Pure religion
and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the
fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world.” James 1:27
(KJV)
Get your tithes
and offerings working for you. They are a part of God’s Promise to
you and your promise to God – to honor and serve Him in all things.
(Jesus said to him, “You shall love the LORD your God with all
your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” Matthew
22:37 (NKJ))
So this is for
your consideration. If you are in a poor financial situation and you
have no apparent sin that you are openly aware and if you believe
you are in good standing with Christ Jesus, and if you have been
paying your tithes, you should see a financial increase; not money
appearing magically in your bank account, but an opportunity which
will position you to gain financially, or you will already be
positioned (through some adversity or unexpected situation) and when
the opportunity arises, you are prepared (or will be) and can walk
readily into the opportunity (emotional, mental, physical,
spiritual, business opportunities in addition to others) which will
lead to personal financial gain allowing you to be a conduit for
others.
Christ Jesus, thank You for another opportunity to serve You in
any way You see fit to place me. Thank You to the clean air, the
clean water, and let us not destroy Your Creation any more than
we have already. Teach O LORD what it means "Pride goes before
Destruction," so we can see how our pride is destroying our
world. Amen and help us O LORD.

Blood. Part Three. (Revelation 1:5-6) Please read Part
One, April 22, 2008 and Part Two, April 26, 2008.
Serve:
Luke 1:74, Hebrews 9:14, 13:20-21 Believers
receive empowerment to serve the Lord our God in an acceptable
way.
“To rescue us
from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without
fear.” Luke 1:74
(NIV)
“How much
more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from
acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!”
Hebrews 9:14 (NIV)
“May the God
of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back
from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work
in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be
glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21
(NIV)
Warfare:
Revelation 12:11, 1 Peter 2: 6-8. The same blood of Jesus
was able to conquer the devil, principalities and powers
publicly. Colossians 1:15. The blood of Jesus is a
powerful instrument with the Word of God to break satanic yoke
and set captives free. Believers have this authority through
Christ. The devil can never cross the bloodline. He could not
cross it in the Red Sea, on the Cross, in Heaven, on earth even
beneath the earth Philippians 2:8-11, Hebrews 11:28-29 (NIV)
Covenant:
Since covenants are usually made among men by blood oath, Jesus
shed His blood as the only mark of covenant between God and man.
Hebrews13: 20-21, Matthew 26:26-28. The blood is
seal of blessing for Believers in Christ.
Christ Jesus, thank You for another opportunity to serve You in
any way You see fit to place me. Thank You to the clean air, the
clean water, and let us not destroy Your Creation any more than
we have already. Teach O LORD what it means "Pride goes before
Destruction," so we can see how our pride is destroying our
world. Amen and help us O LORD.
