Obtaining the Revelation Knowledge of God

God's word is available to be read, studied, examined and lived. When you have revelation knowledge of the word, it is like the lights come on and you have a deeper understanding. No matter what level you are, there is a place for you. "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple" Psalms 119:130. "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby; " I Peter 2:2.
As you begin to grow in the word, your faith will also grow (so then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, Romans 10:17). As your faith and hunger level grows for the word, God will begin by the Holy Spirit to show you deeper revelation. "But it is written, Eyes Hath Not Seen, Nor Ear Heard, Neither Have Entered Into The Heart Of Man, The Things Which God Hath Prepared For Them That Love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God". I Cor. 2:9-10

… but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3

When lives are in despair. When lives have no joy or peace of mind. When they are hooked on drugs and alcohol or have other problems. You tell them "You need to turn your life over to Jesus". They may agree but when you say repent they think you have said a bad word. The word repent means that you are deeply sorry for what you have done and you have turned from your evil ways. You cannot go to heaven without repentance. True repentance in Jesus name is Salvation.

Live your life each day as if it is being recorded in history.

What is your legacy? What Christ like character do you portray to people you come in contact with daily? Will God say, "Enter in my good and faithful servant"? It is important that we think of these things on a daily basis. One day we will have to be accountable for our actions, good or bad. Our dear friend and brother in the Lord, Dennis Conners went to be with the King of all kings this past week. His funeral service was a reflection of the life he lived. Friends got up and spoke of what a funny way he had about him and how he loved to eat hot-dogs and pies. The thing that meant the most was how he loved God. Dennis loved people, he was kind and had a heart for the down and outers. There were tears at the funeral, but there was also a joy knowing where Dennis is and the privilege of knowing him. We're going to miss you Dennis.

Every decision counts.

An evangelist once ended a revival meeting by asking the unbelievers who were present that night to seriously consider the way of the bible as their own and to return the following night prepared to make a decision for Christ. On that night, October 8, 1871, the Chicago fire broke out. Four miles of buildings were burned and 250 people lost their lives. Because of this, the evangelist vowed never to end a service without giving an invitation to accept Christ. In II Corinthians 6, it says "now is the day of salvation". We don't know what lies ahead tomorrow. If you don't know Jesus Christ as you personal savior, please accept him today. Just ask him to cleanse you of all your sins, to live in your heart and to lead you and guide you each day. God loves you and desire good things for his children. Stay strong in Christ.

The Joy of Christianity

Some Christians say they have lost their joy when actually they never have. What they've done is trade it for the cares of this world. The bible says, "To be content in every state." Our relationship with God suffers when we become too busy to take time out for Him. Although it is not always easy when you have a busy schedule, by pressing in and making time for Him, He will bless your life tremendously. Remember, the joy of the Lord is your strength. Without joy, we put ourselves in position to be weakened and an open target for the enemy. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine! God loves us and he desires us to be full partakers of his joy. We love you and desire God's best for you all.

Being All You Can Be In God

In the minds of most of people, it is believed that you have reached your ultimate goal in God when you have a large ministry, can prophecy fluently or have the wealth of King Solomon. These things are great and are certainly the icing on the cake, but the true ultimate goal in God is to be like Him. Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Gal. 5:16).
Contrary to some beliefs, walking in the spirit is not appearing to be more spiritual than others. It is allowing the fruit of the Spirit (Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, faith, meekness, and temperance) to have its work in you. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not (Gal. 6:7-9).
God desires to build His character in us. A definition of character is one's total personality. All of us, not just part of us should be yielded to God's character or personality. In the Word, there are many wonderful aspects of God's character. It is like finding one treasure after another and when we apply these to our lives, we get to be partakers of these treasures. God is so good and the closer you walk in Him the more you realize He wants the best for you. Growing pains are not fun, but when you reach that mature place with God, there is an inner peace knowing you are right where He wants you. If we stay focused, we will reach our goal.

Trust In The Lord and Follow Him

Is what seems normal to the world really a life of sin? Whether its fornication, adultery or drinking and drugs, an unholy way of life leads to destruction. Society has told people these things are okay and their senses have been numbed. The bible tells us to come out from among them and be separated. The ways of the world have somehow seeped into the church world today. As Christians, we cannot partake of the Lord's table and the table of the devil. Our minds must be renewed through the Word of God and prayer. The Bible says to put on the mind of Christ not the mind of this world. God does not tell us to abstain from these things because he is trying to deprive us of fun. He knows the true outcome of what these type of lifestyles can bring. God's ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. We must trust in Him and know he is working on our behalf.

Law of Warfare

(Deuteronomy 20:1-4)
1) When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 2) And it shall be when you come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, 3) And say unto them, hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; 4) For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
When you see your enemies such as poverty, sickness or distress as the children of Israel did in verse 1, be not afraid to go out to battle. When you see the battle come close to you as they did in verse 2, don't run. Approach the battle and don't be afraid, for the Lord your God will fight for you against your enemies and he will save you. This is the law of warfare according to these scriptures. You are the head and not the tail. You have been bought with a price and by his stripes you are healed.
The violent take it by force, so go and win your battle. Have no doubt or unbelief and you will be victorious.

Don't grow too busy for God during the holidays.

As we enter into the holiday season, it is a time to reflect on how we have spent our lives this year. We also think about spending time with family and friends. Depending on your situation, this time of year can be joyous or sad. God desires to meet our every need, whether it is physical, spiritual, emotional, or financial. Philippians 4:19 says, "But my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Allow God to fill every part of your life during this season and remember not to grow too busy to spend time with the creator of the universe.

The Perfect Gift
As the years go by, it seems to be getting more and more politically correct to leave Christ out of Christmas. In most public schools and work places the word "Christmas" is becoming obsolete. It is be replaced instead with Holiday Season or Winter Break.
According to John 3:16,17, the Word says, "For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him might be saved. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
Christmas is the time to celebrate God giving his Son to us, that if we believe, we can be saved from an eternity in hell. God gives us a way of escape through Jesus. By believing in Christ, we will also have everlasting life. That's forever and ever. God is good and has given us the best gift we could ever receive.
Merry Christmas and Be Blessed.

The Ten Commandments

I.) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
II.) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. III.) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. IV.) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. V.) Honor thy father and thy mother. VI.) Thou shalt not kill. VII.) Thou shalt not commit adultery. VIII.) Thou shalt not steal.
IX.) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. X.) Thou shalt not covet. Exodus 20: 3-17

The Ten Commandments in today's society sometimes seem forgotten. When Moses came off the mountain, after God had him write them, he was so illuminated with the glory of God that it was hard to look upon him. God gives us rules to go by not to hurt us, but to help us and to keep us from harm. As we memorize the Ten Commandments and apply them to our lives, we will be blessed. Of course, there are many other commandments in the bible that are a blessing as well. The bible says, " The fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom". As we reverence God Almighty and keep his commandment, we take the limits off what he can do in our lives. Be blessed.
