There is Hope Eternal in God and His Son, Jesus.

 

“Why are you downcast, O my soul?

Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God...”
Psalm 42:11
(NIV)

“For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen, is no hope at all.

Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for

what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.”
ROMANS 8:24-25
(NIV)


Many people have been in situations where they felt hopeless. Personal problems that one encounters in his or her life, brings disappointments; and failures causes one to feel hopeless. Have you been there? Are you in such a situation where you may be feeling hopeless?

Reject any discouraging word coming to you from friends or a family member—that there is no hope for you in your situation. “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a future.’” Jeremiah 29:11 Let go of negative words you once received and receive the Word of hope from God. As you seek God in prayer with all your heart, you will find Him. He will show up! As He does, He will be there to give you guidance and direction; He will turn things around for you. The change will come as you wait and expect from God.

I once faced situations in more than one occasion, where I felt that there was no hope for me. I had my hope in the medication to bring the healing I needed. When all else failed, I turned my faith loose and sought God earnestly and expected my healing to come from Him. And it did. Things changed around. This has been many years now. When a situation arises, I first commit it to the Lord and wait for any direction from Him. He always gives an answer. At times not immediately, but the answer comes just on time. The impossible with men became possible with God.

The Word of Hope is at work everyday in the lives of many who continue to believe and receive God’s word and who prays and wait with patience for the answer. See Romans 8:25, see also Psalm 61:5 which tells us that our hope comes from Him.

Produce good fruit—

allow the LORD to magnify your good works.

“To every thing there is a season,

and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”
ECCLESIASTES 3:1
(KJV)

“Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth?

Are not his days also like the days of an hireling?”
JOB 7:1
(KJV)


Seasons. A young sister saw her sister excel above her in recognition. Her negative emotions reigned. She believed she had to find her niche in life to out perform her. Have you found your niche in life? Many people live their entire lives without knowing what their niche is or that they are living in it. If you have found yours, that is great! If not, do not worry—do not focus on what your niche might be. Focus on what talents God has given you which can help as many people as possible. You do have one.

Here is the key. Jesus said, But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” Matthew 23:11 (KJV) This means that whoever serves the most people will be the one who gets the more attention, fame, glory, power, and the things which go with those—not all are positive. We all live in seasons. Harvest comes in due season—at the appointed time. Sometimes disasters come to destroy the harvest; often that destruction comes by our own mouths, hands, hearts, or minds: words spoken out of turn, our lack of judgment, negative emotions, poor decisions, or actions which go beyond our nature or nature itself. “A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!” Proverb 15:23 (KJV)

When we focus on ourselves, trying to figure out our niche, we typically end up subject to negative emotions which confound our ability to see God’s direction for us. It is better to learn how to deal with everyday emotions, particularly the negative ones, so we can focus on the positive aspects of our miraculous lives, instead of the negative. Focus on Christ Jesus and ascend in the beauty of His Holiness. Live in your seasons and produce good fruit in its appointed time. “…and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.” Ezekiel 34:26 (KJV)

Watch and beware of your habits and the habits of others.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged

with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life,

and so that day come upon you unawares.

LUKE 21:34 (KJV)


The Need To Watch. It is very important as a Christian to watch yourself; that is, your Christian life. Things you do, places you go, your utterance, and your dress code. In the book of Luke 21:34-38 the scripture tells us that we must take heed to ourselves, least your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of his life, and that day come on you unexpectedly. It’s about time that as a believer we watch our own lives because we don’t know that hour of the coming of the Lord. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.” Luke 21:35

Least your labor will go in vain, Luke 21:36, says, Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.The reason why it is important or we need to watch is so that we won’t heed to temptation. The scripture also says “...resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) We are to keep watching because the time is near and if we are not always in the presence of God or always in the attitude of prayer, we could be mislead by false prophets. As mentioned in Luke 20:46-47; “Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; which devour widow’s houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. Christ was telling his disciples to be careful and the same goes for us today as Christians.

The more Christ is in us, the more the Holy Spirit will abide upon us.

“And John bare record, saying,

I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.”
JOHN 1:32
(KJV)


Whew! Isn’t this amazing? This verse reveals to us the fact that the Holy Spirit will only come and abide upon us when we identify with Christ and when we have received His nature and character in us.

Many times, we have our own agendas, our own plans, and purposes, but the Lord says:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 Still other times, we can see ourselves entangled in so many different things which we won’t let go. But apostle Paul said: “Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him…” Philippians 3:8-9

God said: “And lo a voice from heaven, saying,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17 It’s no different today. We want the anointing of the Holy Spirit, we want healing, deliverance, prosperity and well-being in all areas of our existence, but the Lord is a Person – not a blessing machine. He will not come upon our selfish and self-centered desires and plans. He will only come if and when He sees Christ in us, because the Holy Spirit only comes and abides upon Christ.

God has Power and Wisdom to see us as we truly are.

“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;

and God hath chosen the weak things of the world

to confound the things which are mighty;”
1 CORINTHIANS 1:27
(KJV)


Praise God. I greet you all in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Look at Joseph the son of Jacob, Mary and Joseph, David, and other Bible icons. Whoever looks at these people or others around you, you will find that there is nothing that one can see with naked eyes, but that which is on the outside. Why do people judge from outside only? Gods’ creations were made in the fullness of God’s Glory. Who are you to say that this brother or sister is not fit to be where he/she is? Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:” Luke 6:37 (KJV)

Some people are not sure whether or not God likes them; or are not sure if other people like them. Others blame God for everything that happens around them; or they blame everyone else for their problems or situation(s). Pray for wisdom. “Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverb 3:7 What people think is useless—it is what God says and has said that is most important. “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 (Luke 4:4) Now who shall be wise enough to understand God? “The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.” Psalm 14:2 (53:2) Who shall search scriptures day and night? Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” John 5:39

Whenever you underestimate a brother or sister, please pray to God and ask for His Wisdom. 1 Corinthians 1:25 reads. “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”

You are your brother’s keeper. Love your neighbor as yourself.


“Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.

MARK 12:29-31 (NKJV)


The First and Greatest Commandments of JESUS. If you belong to an “independent” church, this Sunday you are going to hear 15-20 minutes of the benefits and scriptural importance of paying “tithes and offerings.” Why do I keep hammering this topic? It is because the most important thing which you should be hearing in church is the first and greatest commandments and the other is salvation which will help people walk into their salvation by seeing this commandment, this principle lived out in our actions. It is difficult when someone is hungry, cold, lonely, sad, and lost in the world to get saved and hold on to his or her salvation unless we are living the first and greatest commandments.

When the Pharisee lawyer asked Jesus, “Master, which is the great commandment in the law?” Matthew 22:36 Jesus did not say to exercise your seed faith through giving your tithes and offering so that you can take the money to feed the homeless, hungry, orphans, widows, maintain the church, the singers, the deacon, the minister of music, and build one church after another until you get one great, big mega-church campus. Am I wrong? Is that what Jesus said? “Jesus said unto him, Thou shall love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Matthew 22:37 This basically means all your emotions, direction, and intellect should be focused on the love of God and then on helping others. Then did Jesus say, the second greatest commandment is to give a few dollars to the poor, a few coins to charity, a little donation to the retired elderly, but the bulk of the treasury goes to the church’s next new building project, and to the care of the pastor, excuse me, BISHOP or APOSTLE, so that the good church folk can enjoy the comforts of their “Life and Community” center and so that the Bishop can live like Solomon. (Don’t forget what happened to Solomon, his kingdom, his children, and their kingdoms—and the priests.)

Let’s review: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and will all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Jesus went on to say: And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31

Build up your personal testimony!


“But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened.” But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,”

1 PETER 3:14-15 (NIV)


Be always prepared is not an alarm to “wake up,” but an absolute Command from God the Master. One of the greatest privileges you have is presenting the Good News of Jesus Christ to others. It’s not unknown to you nor does it go unremembered either! If someone feels presenting the Good News is the priority or the purpose of Christian living, then the need is to be prepared to give your personal testimony to others. God wants us to be witnesses to others for Christ and our lives to be witnesses for Christ. So, in life there are three kinds of lives we live as it happened in the life of Paul the Apostle who was able to give his testimony before King Agrippa. (Acts 26:1-23)

1. LIFE BEFORE CONVERSION—Living a religious life is different than living a witnessing life. We can perform all kinds of Christian rituals and follow tradition and become a good attendant in the church services. But becoming a true witness of and for Christ is different. Look at Paul the Apostle who lived a religious life, but his life was quite in opposition to God and His Children. Selfish living.

2. CONVERSION—God needs us to be converted so we can recognize the need for Christ (in us) and God needs us to commit to Christ; to His service. Thus, conversion life is the only life whereafter we can live a life of testimony to others. And in such life God has an active plan for us as was the case behind the conversion of Apostle Paul. Be converted.

3. LIFE AFTER CONVERSION—When we are converted or have a changed life, then we can live witnessing life for Christ and being a witness for Christ. Apostle Paul is the great example to live a testimonial life, the life after conversion. Purpose-filled living.

Friends, we all are required to prepare ourselves for a personal testimony to be witnesses for Christ. Let us be preparing to testify that Christ the Messiah is LORD! God bless you! Amen!

In this world, if you believe it, it makes it so for you!

“…If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.”
ISAIAH 7:9
(NKJV)


Your God-given assignment. A young man once told me something which he heard from another source: “Demons are not afraid of us—they are afraid of our assignments.” Let me say that I know demons are afraid of me and the devil also because I am on assignment. As you believe, so you are. If you believe that demons are not afraid of you, they won’t be. You have thus empowered them against you (and your assignment). And you will probably live your life as though you have empowered them.

“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!…” 1 John 3:1 (NKJV) (Galatians 4:6; Philemon 2:15; 1 John 3:2) They do fear you and your assignment when you know who you are: “…Christ liveth in me…” Galatians 2:20 (KJV) (2 Corinthians 11:10; 2 Corinthians 13:3)  They know who you are. If you believe “demons only fear your assignment, but not you;” then you are probably not on your assignment. Get on with your assignment.

Your God-given assignment—the need to work for the LORD—but more importantly—the NEED to KNOW your God-given assignment can be a spiritual trap. Do you know what your niche in life is? What is your Christ-given assignment? Don’t wait until you figure it out to do it. Don’t wait until you win the lotto (or become a millionaire) to help the next person, to help people. Do the Word—follow the example of Jesus—be the example of Jesus. Help one another in peace and love.

‘And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength,’ This is the first commandment. And the second is like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.’ ” Mark 12:30-31 (NKJV) Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20: go throughout the world, “ ‘teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen.”

Recharge and stick to the Truth and your freedom will return to you!


“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me.’ ”

JOHN 8:31-32; 14:6 (NIV)


Reality is the expression of the natural things which exist and which are tangible. Reality is what nature or man calls or says of a thing, of circumstances, or of a situation, while the truth is the Word of God; which God knows as a thing, a fact, a situation, or a circumstance. The truth is not in conformity with many of our realities. In certain cases, truth appears absurd for people. Moreover, human wisdom is only one type of madness in front of God.

Reality is of men and earthly/carnal. Truth is of God and heavenly/eternal. Reality is characterized by its incapacity, its limits, and its consumption abilities. Reality makes people slaves to it and is a conduit to death. The fall of the man is a reality; physical and spiritual death is inevitable—if there is no remedy. On the contrary, the Truth makes us free, sanctifies us, and is the Way and the Life. It is the Word of God. The Word of God is Jesus Christ, the Lord Himself. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 (NIV)

Safety as a disciple of Jesus Christ by faith is a truth. In illustration, in the life we live, we say that being sick is real, but the truth is this: God knows your state of being. It is He who cures and longsuffers; whereas we whine and are impatient. The truth is that the LORD is merciful and forgiving; the poor become rich, the weak become strong and valiant, physical death becomes spiritual life, failure becomes success, plugs fall which cover the eyes, the dumb man speaks, the deaf person hears, the slave becomes free, captivity becomes freedom, virgins have babies, sterility produces fruitfulness, arid ground produces ponds for a better life, perseverance overcomes in spite of persecution and obstacles.

Leave a sad unsatisfactory state for a dimension full of joy and peace. In Genesis 1:2-3, “…the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep…” That is a reality, but the truth is that God said, Let there be light,” and the light was and the Light is. What a truth! In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Jabez was in pain and limited. He called upon the LORD who exalted him and extended his limits. Widen the space of your tent by the knowledge of the Word of God and the oiling of the Truth. Faith in the Truth transforms all the real situations of our lives for our successes without precedent. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” John 17:17

Every new season in God requires a new type of believers!

…but new wine must be put into new bottles.

MARK 2:22 (KJV)


There is a transition taking place for God’s people all over the world. Transition is defined as times and seasons when the Lord interferes with our own plans, purposes and agendas, and redirects them in the direction He wants, so we can fulfill His Divine destiny for our lives.

We can not go on living like we have lived before in the previous season. There’s a new time and a new season. That means a new challenge. A new responsibility! A new cross. A new hunger to know the Lord more deeply and more intimately!

The old oil will not do. We need a new one. A fresh one. We need a fresh and daily touch of God upon our lives, our families, our ministries, our Churches, our neighborhoods, our cities, and our nations. Let us allow the Lord to transform us in these times of transition.

Wait on the Lord with work and

the expectation of God’s aligning power in all of His Creation.

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God,

to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
ROMANS 8:28
(NKJV)


Waiting on the LORD does not mean sitting around and doing nothing. It means waiting in the expectation that the LORD is lining things up on your behalf (all things work together) as you prepare to receive that which you believe the LORD is preparing to bring into your provision, into your camp. You are probably going to be looking for the things for which you have been praying. More than likely God is preparing to send you that which is best in accordance with His Will for your life and those who you are going to meet and have interaction with on your life’s path. Therefore, what is happening to you now is not going to look like what you expect it to look like—(“In order to turn man from his deed, and conceal pride from man.” Job 33:17)—it is not going to look like John’s promises, Helen promises, Joe’s promises, Kim promises; but it will be God’s promises to you. (Deuteronomy 28:1-14)

“All things working together…” is God’s Providence working in your life and all of His Creation. So let’s get this. What you have prayed for is taking time to get to you because someone in your “upline,” someone who is in your life’s path has to get ready, has to do what they need to do (that which they know they should be doing (in the LORD, in their lives)). People who are in your life’s path have to get their lives in order enough (or their lives have to be out of order enough) so when you come into their vision, they can see you. Someone has to be in the LORD enough so they can hear you when you speak. Banks, businesses, corporations, churches, doctors, mechanics, machine parts, even the grocery store manager, and the ice cream vendor have to get aligned in that part of God’s Will for their lives which impacts you positively or negatively for God’s Purpose for your life to be lived out in His Creation. Remember, someone whose life path you are in (your "downline")  is waiting on you.

So the next time you are waiting on the LORD, know this: even the seed in the ground dies to itself, then sprouts moving towards God’s glorious Light so that it can receive for you and I the bounty and wonder of God’s miracle power. So get aligned with God’s Purpose and Will for your life today—for we are waiting for you.

Whenever you are faced with a temptation, look for the way of escape.


“After fasting forty days and forty nights, he (Jesus) was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.’ Jesus answered, ‘It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”

MATTHEW 4:2-4 (NIV)


Jesus, in the physical human body (without sin) felt hungry after his fasting period. Our enemy, the devil spoke up. “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” The devil knew it was Jesus, but he was trying to trap Jesus into worshipping him. The devil (formally, Lucifer the Archangel, but now cursed, and has no place in God’s kingdom) was seeking to be worshipped. He (the devil) will not tempt any human being, when hungry, to turn stones into bread, but he will tempt humans to do certain things that are contrary to the Word of God; things that oppose God.

Our enemy, the devil does not know everything. Nor does he know anyone’s weak points, but he keeps striking at us humans in order to get someone to succumb to his thoughts and suggestions as he seeks to attack our minds. The devil cannot control you unless you give him permission when you listen to his thoughts and act upon them. The person who is prayerless, careless about his life, or who do not obey God habitually, falls prey to the enemy who keeps striking at that particular point when the person first succumbed to the enemy’s trap.

We read in Matthew 4:4, Jesus said man lives not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Bread is for our physical needs and the Word of God meets our most important need – the spiritual need. The Word of God also fulfills our basic needs as God supplies them all. God alone must be worshipped! Accepting Jesus Christ in your life and serving Him in obedience is just our reasonable service for which we will in turn be rewarded. Reconsider your life of whom God is the Creator and ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and to come into your life.

A new believer in Christ must have fellowship in a congregation that believes and obeys the Word of God (Hebrews 10: 25) , must pray daily (Luke 18:1), and read the Word of God daily in order to receive sustenance continually from God. When temptation comes, look for the way of escape. “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)

Life without helping others does not bring satisfaction nor does it bring the peace you seek.

“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight

in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”
1 SAMUEL 15:22
(KJV)


Ungodly living always run worms into our lives; worms of madness, worms of disorder as we try to find peace and joy. People run in all different directions without really knowing which way to go, where to go, or what their end will be. The real direction of our existence is Jesus Christ who died on the cross helping others, helping us. He has turned our sins into limestone which washes away in the rain, washes away in the tears of our repentance. In Him only, can we find the peace and the joy in life which we seek. “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4 (KJV)

Let us make of God our delight in order to preserve our hearts unto death—to become fire retardant. Yes, hell exists—this large fire which never dies out. God created the lake of fire for Satan and his agents; (Matthew 25:41) where there will be only gnashing of teeth and eternal sufferings. Christ, the Saviour of the world came for us, the sinners. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Matthew 9:13 Jesus says in Matthew 10:39, He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.Losing your life in your service to others will bring you peace and joy, both here on earth and eternally.

Young men and women, we have a reason to live. It is Christ our Saviour. Lose your life to the hell or lose your life to the paradise after death. Let us lose our lives for Christ by the abandonment of our sins (Mark 8:35) and will find we it (Luke 9:24) grounded in a life dedicated in the service to Christ. “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doeth he meditate day and night.” Psalms 1:1-2 (KJV)

God moves with us and speaks to us in mysterious ways.

“Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God

hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you,

and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.”
DEUTERONOMY 5:33
(KJV)


Speak. Angels illuminated me with this over the course of a few days: “God speak,” “demon speak,” and “man speak.” To put it simply: God speak: God or His Holy Family speaks to you or through you; demon speak: the devil or his evil group speaks to you or through you; man speak: you or some other human speaks of their behalf or on the behalf of someone else, usually with selfish motivations. The first two are spiritual and the latter is carnal or earthly; noting that man speak can have its spiritual moments.

God speak: The Bible, God speaking to one of His creations, God’s Commandments, Commands, Precepts, Laws, Statues, Jesus speaking, Jesus’ Laws and Commandments; God’s Holy Family speaking to us in our minds, hearts, spirits, emotions, or our lives. God speaking to His children and they writing it down. The delivery is often cutting.

Demon speak: The devil or any source speaking evil, lies, deceptions, decoys, misdirects, innuendo, half-truths, accusations, false hope, perversion, ungodliness, or nonsense to God’s creations intentionally or unintentionally. It may not be a statement, but a question. The delivery will be slick and glittery, full of emotion.

Man speak: People or a person speaking which does not fall into the above categories. Generally, the person likes to talk. They are a talker. They love to hear their voices—so they talk. They speak to their point, off point, around point, and often make many points or no point at all. Man speak is often ungrounded in the supernatural, in the Bible. The delivery is often motivational to oneself or to others.

Let’s bring it on home. In minutes, at church, how much “God speak” do you hear? How much “man speak” do you hear? How much “demon speak” do you hear? I am not saying that man speak is evil or not speaking on the behalf of God, but that is what it is: “man speak.” God may be the starting point and end point, but He is not much in the middle of the speaking. To what are you listening? What are you filling your life with—“God speak,” “demon speak,” or “man speak?”

“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.” Proverb 5:21 (KJV)

You are not of your own making.

It is only God who guides your life.

“For that ye ought to say,

If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”
JAMES 4:15
(KJV)

Plan your life, organize your thoughts, control your habits, but God should be your leader. Remember the Creator in all times. You walk, you drive, you sing, you laugh; not because you are lucky or clever. It is the Almighty who makes everything move. Its not the town engineer who makes the city good, habitable, or workable. It is God in us which allows us to go. The power of Him is in every corner of the cities, in every ounce of every living thing. World peace and tranquility are given by God. Who are you to say I give people to the whole globe? I create babies? What has man created from nothing?

If you want more days of life tell God. At the same time let God know all your schedules. If you do not speak to God of your plans, expectations, and circumstances, this means you are lost trying to do it on your own. You are working on your own behalf, for nothing. Your expended energy will not get you to where you will find in your future where you really want to go. Speaking to the LORD concerning your life propagates an ever-growing healthy relationship with Him. Have a full knowledge of your God. Trust Him. Talk to Him. Inform Him. “Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.” Psalm 62:8

Run away from evil. You hear people say I hit him or her because I was too angry to control myself. Yes, there is no planning in the house of the devil. So many excuses are given when something goes wrong. Those who work with the Holy Spirit will never regret it. The Spirit drives them in the right direction. “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverb 3:6

Pray to God for whatever you want to archive. “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:4 Know your times through the Holy Ghost. God does not fail you. “…for the LORD thy God, he it is that doeth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Deuteronomy 31:6

Wait on your gift. When you receive it or recognize it; use your gift(s) properly.


“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.”

ROMANS 12:6-8 (KJV)


A note concerning your Gift(s). In Paul’s letter to the Church at Rome, he is attempting to enlighten the understanding of the believers regarding their gifts. Paul explains five distinct applications for the nurturing and growth of our gift(s).
The first of these is: Let us perform our gift according to the proportion of faith. How much faith do you have in Jesus for the power, love, and application of your gift? More simply put, “What do you believe GOD for?” I once heard a pastor say GOD had blessings for us that we can’t even imagine. (1 Corinthians 2:9) I know he’s right. In addition, how does your gift fit into the body of Christ? If your “gift” is not in proportion or in harmony with the rest of the body of Christ, then you may want to consider some things.


Secondly, some of us don’t know what our gift is, thus we have to WAIT on it (them). As a believer, waiting is vital to understanding GOD’S Will. (Psalm 27:14) We must not rush into our gifts, instead wait on GOD. Jesus is yea; no doubts or confusion. One should receive unctions from the Spirit or ministering angels as you wait for your gift or gifts. The Spirit should offer comfort while you are waiting patiently. Upon the revelation of your gift, you may have to wait again! For example, after receiving the revelation of ministry from Jesus, Saul had to wait years before he became the Paul we know and read. (Galatians 1 and 2) Be prepared to be patient.


Next Paul urges the believer to do her or his gift with simplicity. Simplicity! Keep it simple. God is not flashy, flamboyant, or prideful. These are attributes of Satan and his associates. Our society wants us to be uncanny, remarkable, and noteworthy, but in a secular, worldly way. Resist the temptation to be this way. (James 4:7) Don’t be like the world. Paul admonishes against this behavior, (Romans 12:2) instead reminding the saints of the simplicity in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 11:3)


Most of us are familiar with the fourth and fifth aspects of Paul’s discourse concerning gifts. Apply diligence and cheerfulness to your gift! Be exceeding glad! We are blessed that GOD thought enough of us to give us gifts! Remember, faith without works is dead! (James 2:26) Thus we must work our gifts. If you find yourself experiencing your “gift,” yet you are not applying these principles, you may want to re-evaluate yourself and how you are using or not using your gifts!

OVERCOMERS' MINISTRY

As we submit ourselves to the Lord and as we help one another become stronger, we find that our problems lose their power to dominate our thoughts and lives, and we begin to truly overcome. Located in Decatur, Georgia.  Overcomers is a fellowship of many groups from different churches in which we share our experiences, strengths, and hope in order to solve our common problems.   Pastor Helen Brown (404) 243-5020

You are God’s special gift to the world!

“For you were bought at a price;

therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
1 CORINTHIANS 6:20
(NKJV)

 

Dearly beloved, grace to you! I feel great to welcome you to this New Year. I hope that you landed safely. Congratulations for making it. Many lost out of this physical world in the past year, but here you are kicking. Your presence here on earth is enough proof that God still has a lot to do in you, with you, and through you.

There will be a serious imbalance in our world without you in the now. You are a special species created to positively impact our world. There is a precious deposit on your inside. You are God’s prime investment. You are so unique that none can fill your place. It does not matter what people have said about you. It does not even matter what situations have made you to think about yourself. What matters is God’s opinion. He said that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are created for His glory. He said that you are His own. “For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.” Deuteronomy 7:6 (NKJV)

You are God’s special gift to our world. You are here on assignment. There is someone somewhere who is waiting for you to manifest. There is a situation somewhere that is waiting for you as its answer. There is a problem somewhere that is waiting for you as its solution. Our world is placing a demand on you to release those potentials on your inside. God is waiting with great excitement to get you introduced.

Seek abundance in peace, love, joy,

and happiness in God-ordained relationships.

“…I have come that they may have life,

and that they may have it more abundantly.
JOHN 10:10
(NKJV)


Riches, power, and glory. What could be more abundant living than to be in love, having peace, joy, happiness, shelter, food, security, and a loving family? One reason I believe people want riches, power, and glory is because they never experienced it. They desire to experience it believing it will bring them that which they believe is missing in their lives. The other reason is that people who seek power, glory, and riches want it for that which it will bring – material and carnal opulence (decadence) and control over others. Let’s examine something here. The Bible says there were women at Jesus crucifixion who “…ministered unto him of their substance.” (Luke 8:3) Was Jesus then not rich, well off, living in prosperity enough not to have these women supporting Him? Was Jesus, our example, living a life of prosperity, riches, power, and glory? “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.’ ” Matthew 19:23 (NKJV)

There came to Jesus a rich young man (Matthew 19:16-22) who had obeyed all the Ten Commandments Jesus said to him, “sell what you have and give to the poor,.. (Matthew 19:21) One of the top temptations from the devil is riches and glory. The devil tempted Jesus with the riches of the world after his 40 days of eating and drinking nothing. Couldn’t Jesus have taken the riches, power, and money from the devil to further his ministry and reach more converts making more new Christians? So why as Christians are we so diligently, earnestly, and whole-heartedly seeking the same riches which Jesus denied at the start of His ministry? And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:24 (NKJV) Whether for you this story speaks of a needle or a needle gate, please hear and hearken to these words. Remember the story of Lazarus and the rich man. (Luke 16:19-31)

Remember what the Virgin Mary said: “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty.” Luke 1:50-53

One touch from Jesus will comfort you, heal you, and fill you.

It will change your life forever.


“And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.”

MARK 6:55-56 (NIV)


“She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”

MARK 5:26-28 (NIV)


A touch from Christ. I had a touch from Jesus Christ while in Ghana. At the time, I was preparing to go play professional soccer in Asia. I lost contact with the friend that was to buy my ticket when I had planned to leave the first time. And that’s how I had the first touch from Jesus Christ; He comforted me.

The second touch from Jesus Christ was when I tool sick from yellow fever and did not know. A friend saw me and told me that I had yellow fever. I immediately stared herbs that friends prescribed for me. Christian friends, I was dying slowly. I couldn’t cough or laugh except I held my side tight. God touched a friend who reminded me of my friend who is a Physician’s Assistant (PA). He always used to treat me, so finally after a lot God give me strength to go to see my friend. The distance was also very far, but God strengthened me as I got to my friend’s place. He was angry—why did I want to kill myself by taking herbs. God Almighty calmed him down. He started treating me. After the yellow fever left me, then came a stomach ulcer. This time around it was not easy, but I tell you, when God says “Yes,” no one can say, “no.” When I went to Liberia, it started again. But this time around I had the final touch from Jesus and today I am very much healed. Just a touch from Jesus and all is well.

The Ministry also had lot of touches from Jesus from Ghana to Liberia—to take care of kids. It is the touch from Jesus which helps us. In Liberia, we also had numerous touches from Jesus that’s why we reach this far, no international or local partners, but God is our International and local partner. He’s always here for us. That’s how we have reached this far— it is the touch from Jesus Christ. Experience this touch in your life; you will not be the same.

A TOUCH FROM JESUS

In God’s World, believe the unseen and unknown

for your expectation is the evidence of your faith.

“Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him;

but the just shall live by faith.”
HABAKKUK 2:4
(NKJ)


A friend put a person on a pedestal higher than God. As Christians, we cannot worship anything or anyone more than God. “(for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),” Exodus 34:14 (NKJ) We cannot spend more personal time, more mental energy, more of our being with anyone(s) or anything(s) more than the time and energy we give to God and to His Purposes in His World. This is not our world, pastor’s world, governor’s world, president’s world, or America world, Europe world, Arab world, Hebrew world, Asian world, Latino world, nor Christian world—this is God’s World and we are only stewards. When we misdirect our time and energy, God gets jealous and will turn our world inside out and upside down. Do not let this happen to you.

Reeling from the relationship and trying to recover, my friend did not know whether they had demons or what was causing the pain in their head and heart or what was causing the uncontrollable thoughts which plagued their mind concerning their lost love. Reading uplifting scriptures led them to find short-lived joy. Their belief/faith was anchored in how they felt physically and emotionally, i.e., when they felt good they believed they were better/well. When feeling poorly, they believed they had demons or were ill. Do not tie your faith, your belief in God moving in your life to how you feel or on what emotions you are experiencing.

We must praise God in all our circumstances. “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1 Faith is believing positive results and having positive expectations when your emotions tell you otherwise, when your body is acting like it is on the other team, and everything around you is telling you that you are wrong. We must praise God in our negative situations, circumstances, and challenges knowing that God’s Providence is working on our behalf. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28 means God’s Holy Family is working on your behalf to you back into the puzzle of Life.

Christ Jesus bears all sin for you and me—accept Jesus into your life.

“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said,

‘Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’ ”
JOHN 1:29
(NIV)

So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people;...”
HEBREWS 9:28
(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; see also Leviticus 4:32-35; Revelation 12:11 (NIV)


John the Baptist used the phrase again, another day, when he saw Jesus passing by, “Look, the Lamb of God” John 1:36. In Old Testament times, an animal sacrifice had to be made if someone sinned against God; known as the “sin offering” Leviticus 4:32-35. See also Leviticus 4:1-5:13, Leviticus 6:24-30. Each time a person sins against God, he must offer a sin offering in order to be forgiven, and acceptable to God.

Jesus, born of the virgin Mary, became that sin-offering for man’s sins. He was despised and rejected by men. “But He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5. He, being the perfect sacrifice, offered Himself once for all, paying the debt of sin for all mankind, when he died on the cross. (Romans 6:10)

John said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” He is the precious LAMB OF GOD, who made a sacrifice for both you and me. He means everything to you and me, that is if you have received Him as your Saviour. He is there for you if you do not know Him. Simply ask Him to come into your heart, make you a new person, and forgive you of all of your sins. The next step is to read the Bible each day, and begin attending a Bible believing church. Pray each day, and let others know that you are a Christian as you follow the Lord all the days of your life. The Lord bless you now, is my prayer.


LAMB OF GOD

In God’s work, brothers and sisters, we are one.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,

goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
GALATIANS 5:22-23
(KJV)


Now let us come to our Almighty Father whole-heartedly through Christ Jesus. Come in truth. Where there is Spiritual love God dwells. “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” 1 John 4:16 Remember, when you cheat a brother or a sister, you will in effect show your true colors to Him. “And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.” 1 John 4:21

Seeds sewn in darkness lead to death. You cannot hide from God. Why do you think you are hiding from God or people? Why do you want to please people and not God? “Awake to righteousness, and sin not;…” 1 Corinthians 15:34 Good deeds keep you close to God. Sin separates you and me from God. Why do you love evil and sin?

Through Him, our choice should be to please the Almighty. Your thinking should be not be filled with evil. Now, how do you fight evil thinking? Whenever an evil mind comes, please talk to the Lord— remember the scriptures. Ask yourself, is this faith or is this love? Evil begins from the heart, so guard yourself through God; place the scriptures in your heart by learning them.

Searching and studying scriptures, praying daily, and fellowship with the saints, brings one closer to God. This is your Spiritual food. “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” 1 John 4:9,11

Never underestimate God in anybody or in anything.


I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.

ISAIAH 42:16 (NKJ)
 

One day the Holy Spirit spoke very clearly to me saying, “Never underestimate God. Never underestimate God in anything or anybody.” I immediately wanted to connect what was said to what was going on in my life. I had been working on a book which used Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” I know that scripture refers to a member of God’s Holy Family, namely Providence, a Sovereignty. I believe there are scriptures, which reference all of the Attributes, Authorities, Sovereignties of God, or Fruits of the Spirit.

God can make crooked paths straight, oceans where there were deserts. “He turns a wilderness into pools of water, and dry land into water springs.” Psalm 107:35 He can make what was meant for wrong or evil into good, making it Perfect in the execution of His Will to His Glory. When your situation looks dire and has been looking bad for years, know God is setting you up for a great Miracle.

People often say the Bible was written by the most evil King of England, the translations are imperfect or wrong, the transliterations are poor, the Bible is the opiate of the people, and was designed by the European white man to control the poor of the world. I say, the Bible is the Infallible Word of God and God’s Providence is activated when His Called, His Children use it. Providence and God’s Holy Family work together to allow us to receive from God that which He has for us and for those we are destined to touch. No matter the situation, the circumstance, what we are doing, how we are doing it, or how long or short the time of endurance, God through His Son Christ Jesus is in the middle of your life. God is mightier, in control, and does things in multifaceted ways none of us can ever imagine.

No matter what you are going through, have been going through, in the future will be going through, God and His Providence will be working with Christ Jesus on your behalf to see you through. Jesus will never leave you! I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” John 14:18 (KJV) Never underestimate God in your life!

Introduce others to one another

and be introduced as we expand our territories.


“As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.’ ”

MATTHEW 3:16-17 (NIV)


Your year of introduction is here! Jesus could not function until He was introduced, This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye Him.” Matthew 17:5 (KJV) I feel strongly that our God is about to introduce His sons and daughters around the world. Things are changing fast and our God is commissioning His army to take over the kingdoms of this world and make it the kingdom of our God. The time for the world to feel the impact of the Sons and Daughters of God is here. You and I are the Sons and Daughters of His glory. The time of our introduction and commissioning is here. It does not matter where you are – ministry, business, public, or private service, He wants to introduce you there and use you for His glory. You can’t afford to miss out. Note however, that He introduces only those in whom He is “well pleased.” May He be well pleased with you!

By the time you are introduced, people will hear you, situations will hear you, everything that has shut its ears against you, will hear you. Yes, they will mind you; listen to you. They won’t have a choice, but to hear you. Everything will begin to respond in your favor – promotions, business contracts, choice jobs, and all manner of success will respond.

This is a good time to live, and be excited about the New Year! Choose to become all that God created you to be. Choosing the right direction, making the best decision, doing the right thing, becomes a lot easier when you have enough good information. There is no better information about a product than the one that comes from the manufacturer. Dearly beloved, Grace to you!

Your problems and worries are not yours. Give them up!


“I have been crucified with Christ; it’s no longer I who live,

but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh

I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
GALATIANS 2:20
(KJV)


No problems! No Worries! Today in the every aspect of the life people are growing up faster than ever before. The same way they grow faster, they grow faster with problems and worries! Growing up is a problem and growing up fast worry people. Too much work is a problem; it worries people. Having a big home, and/or a big family is a problem; it worries people. Getting older is a problem; it worries people.


Men have everything at hand (available) to solve life’s problems, but face a tougher time to find the solution to solve the problem of “worries.” This is because people have divided minds. James writes “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James.1:8 People are always occupied with worrying, because they own their lives according to what and how they understand. That is why they always say, “My life is filled with problems. I have so many problems to deal with.”


Those who are in Christ are a new creation. The old life has gone and the new life has come. If anyone is in Christ, he/she lives no longer for him/herself, but for God. When you have accepted Christ, you have been crucified with the Messiah. As a Christian, problems, worries, and anxieties have gone. They should be gone, because they belong to Christ.

 

But if you keep saying, “It’s my life. My life. My life.” You are making a big mistake. And that mistake is costing you the peace of God. My life—my problems, go together. If it’s your life, then all of those problems are yours also. If it’s not your life, then the problems and worries are not yours either. Friends, let go of your “My life” life. Start living your “His life” life because you will find that living that way really has no problems and no worries at all. God bless and keep you. Amen!

NO PROBLEM!

Stay focused on what you believe is the direction for your life.

You will know them by their fruits.

Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
MATTHEW 7:16
(NKJ)


The D’s – 1. These are some cookie crumbs to follow in your search to determine if something or someone, if a decision or an action, if a hope or prayer, or if a conversation or a project is moving in the Spirit of God. The “D’s” work together; they work as a tag team. For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.” Luke 6:43 (NKJ)

DISTRACTION: Things, people (person), emotions, projects, promotions, wealth, work, power, actions, or glory which come into your life to move you away from your God-given assignment, your God-given talent, and your God-purposed direction for your life and the lives you are destined to touch.

DECOY: These are distractions, that which is placed in your life’s path which look immediately or in the short-term like they are in your best interest, but in the long-term they are setting you up for failure and destruction. Examples are activities which require little to no activity, activity which overly stress you mentally for a long time, activity which twist your emotions, activity which physically causes you pain. Your focus is on the activity and not on your God-direction, your God-purpose, or what you deep in your soul believe you are supposed to be doing with your life.

DIVERSION: If you should be so wise as to recognize “distraction” or “decoy,” what you should look for is “diversion.” This will take you off the trail of the enemy and make you focus on whatever has caused the diversion. It will be a very strong physical, mental, or emotional influence. It will generally attack you at one of your points of fear, sin, weakness, or what it perceives as one of those areas.

DELAY: One the heels of “diversion” will be “delay.” Delay will put up obstacles and roadblocks to God’s direction, goals, plans, purpose, and His Will for your life. It is often disguised as “waiting on the LORD.” It is not; it is delaying God in your life.

Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20 (NKJ)

When you receive a child, your reward will be great in heaven.

“And Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said,

‘Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children,

you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.’
MATTHEW 18:2-3
(NKJ)


Be Obedient. I am Magarate Dagbe: 12 years old. I am so grateful for the Children for Christ Ministries taking me from the streets and providing free education for me and my many friends. I have learned since being part of this ministry that it is important to be obedient. It is because of obedience from people who believe in God that this ministry has established a school and has been doing a lot of good things for my friends and I. (Ephesians 6:1-2)

Give Thanks In Everything. I am Joseph Sackie: 12 years old and in the 3rd grade. Is it a blessing for us as believers to be doing harm to the others? Thanks to God Almighty for the wonderful things He has done, by connecting me to the Children for Christ Ministries. They have since been a blessing to me. I have learned to give thanks to God for everything. Things had been so bad with me, picking up things from the streets to eat, not having foot wear, clothes; but thank God for this Ministry. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:4 (NKJ)

My name is Annie Bemah. I am 16 years of age and in the 5th grade. Thank God for Uncle Sylvester who had been talking to me to trust God and give Him thanks for everything and He invited me to Bible study. And today I am going to free school. Copies of books and pens are all given to me free. I now know and believe that it is very important to give God thanks in everything. (Ephesians 5:20)

My name is Felecia Lincoln. I am 13 years of age and in the K-II. My parents can’t make it to send me to school, but thank God for the Children for Christ Ministries. I got to know about them by one of the fathers in our yard. That’s how I started going to Bible study and I am now in school. Besides schooling us, they sometimes help us with clothes, copy books and that alone makes me understand the teaching of giving thanks to God for everything.

And whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.” Matthew 18:5 (NKJ)

Today, do not take chances on what JESUS is saying to you.

“And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias.

And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.”
ACTS 1:26
(NKJ)


Sortilege. Coincidence, happenstance, games of chance, lottery, and gambling are some of the cousins of sortilege. Even worse relatives are sorcery, divining, fortune telling, witchcraft, and necromancy. Sortilege is the ancient family of fortune telling using lots; witchcraft and/or sorcery. In modern Christian homes, it looks like, “Let’s open the Bible to see what scripture the LORD is giving us today.” The Bible is opened to see what page it opens to and on what scripture(s) our eyes or hand fall on.


This practice may be new to you, but in the early church after chapter numbers and verse numbers were added to scripture, this practice was used for soothsaying, making life decisions, and divining one’s future. In ancient Judaism, lots were used in decisions concerning sacrifice, division of property or responsibility, war, and to determine the person at fault. (Leviticus 16:8; Joshua 18:6; 1 Samuel 14:42; Jonah 1:7) The practice was outlawed in the early church. Many people today innocently use this practice out of ignorance of the truth.


Before God sent His Son Jesus, there was typically one person (the leader of Israel, the High Priest, or the prophets) who communicated with God. They in turn told others what God said. Sometimes they used lots religiously or culturally to make decisions. After Jesus came and lived in the flesh of a man, He was here to communicate with us, (“…and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20) to help us make proper decisions without lots.


The Lord JESUS speaks to us today in a small, still voice as does the Holy Spirit. The Bible is here for us to study, learn, and know. The Holy Spirit is here to communicate with us and through us; to empower us with the Gifts of the Spirit. Angels also are available in their service to us. Therefore, there is no reason to use chance, lots, or any type of sortilege or divination in your Christian lifestyle. Sortilege or sortes biblicae amounts to sorcery, divination, or witchcraft. Is there witchcraft being practiced in your church? Or are you unknowingly and unwittingly practicing witchcraft in your home? Today seek a personal relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit whereby they speak to you in your heart, mind, and spirit. Selah!
