Path of Patience

Everything is good and well in the kingdom of God, because everything God has created is good in His sight.

The earth belongs to God! Everything in all the world is His! Psalm 24:1

What an announcement to us here on the earth, that God has it well in hand. He is raising up a people that actually rejoice through troubled times. A people that know God is mindful of them every moment. That know that no sin, no doubt, no unbelief and no circumstance is greater than our God. That stand, believe, trust and have patience for the manifestations of God’s promises to come to pass.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. -Psalm 37:11 {KJV}

In the Living it says: But all who humble themselves before the Lord shall be given every blessing, and shall have wonderful peace.

The peace of God brings us to a place of restoration and power. As we get a hold of God’s precious word it strengthens us to take a hold of the day. God’s covenant stands before His throne and announces God’s kingdom on earth to stand. Each and every one of us have been called for such a time as this. To rise up in our homes and announce the kingdom of God daily.

Keep in mind that you’re crowned in Glory and the only way that crown can be removed is by your unbelief. Remember, this is the day that the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad. These are words of power against circumstances. Don’t be impatient for the Lord to act. Travel steady along His pathway of patience and in due season He will honor you with every blessing. As we wait patiently for God to help us, He hears our prayers.

So hold fast to your prayers and meditate in God’s word. For the word is power over our circumstances. And the path of Patience is always the victorious path.

Speak LIFE … Your WORDS are POWERful

When you speak, pay attention to what types of things are coming out of your mouth.  Every word produces something… good or bad!  Learn to bridle your tongue and speak life.  If God wouldn’t say it, it’s probably best you don’t either. 

Every time we speak we are creating something. We are speaking seeds into our future. The word of God says death and life are in the power of the tongue, so speak life and create good. Keep in mind that our thoughts and ways are different than God’s…So we have to get into the word and find out the way God thinks, speaks and lives and align our lives up with Him.

If you are being blessed by our video sermons we would love if you would leave a comment or join with us as we bring the gospel to the world.  We appreciate all your prayers and support and pray that you are all abundantly blessed!  Let us know if you need prayer.  Have a blessed week! Speak LIFE!

New Creation – Purged, Cleansed and Reconciled

Praise God! This is the day that the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

As Christians, we sometimes believe that since we had a vision or a dream or if we pray now and then that everything is okay with us.  This type of faith can be deceiving.  The God kind of faith is practicing God’s Word daily in such fullness that it becomes a lifestyle.  Men and women of the old testament had to have this God kind of faith.  We should follow their example by having a personal walk with God daily. Diving in deep to the new creation we have become.  We are no longer mere men and women, we are purged, cleansed and reconciled with God.  The veil is torn and we can commune with Him one on one.

Let’s start seeing ourselves as God sees us not as our past sins or circumstances tell us.  There is nothing greater than God in us.  We should stand with the qualifications of the cleansing Blood of Jesus.  We need to believe it and act like it.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.  -1 peter 2:24

Stay in agreement with God’s word and practice His principals of the Blood.  This is how God sees us.  Always remember you are a spirit being first, then soul and human body.  You have to feed your Spiritual body daily.  Increase your relationship with God.  See the value of God’s purpose for you in having a personal relationship with Him.  Use the Blood, the Blood works!

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.  -Psalms 51:7

Meaning:

Sprinkle me with the cleansing blood and I shall be clean again.  Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. We are washed and new again praise God!  The word tells us that our sins are no more.  We are completely a new creation in the eyes of God.

Come now, and let us reason together saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. –Isaiah 1:18

Simply put:

Come let’s talk this over! says the Lord; no matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow.  Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you white as wool!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! -2 Corinthians 5:17

Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun. All your old junk and ways are gone and replaced with your new man.  Your spiritually awakened new man.

It is obvious here that the Blood works!  Jesus was made a sacrifice for us.  His Blood was shed for our lives.  Speak it and believe it.  It is like anything else, in order to believe it yourself, you have to speak it out of your mouth.  Quit thinking your old dead thoughts and pay attention to the Spirit of God in you.   The Spirit speaks to the heart of man. Listen and believe.

Never Quit

Even though the war is already won, we have to stay armored up for the daily battle.  We can never quit fighting! The devil never sleeps so neither should the body of Christ.  Don’t become complacent  throughout your days because when you get to comfortable you may just leave your back door open for the devil to sneak in.  Be ready at all times!  You are always in our prayers!  Stay strong and have a blessed week.

God needs His people to be willing to get out of the boat and walk on water. Never looking to the left or to the right, but are willing to press through all obstacles, staying focused on the mission at hand in faith! 

You are always in our prayers, stay strong and never quit!

Blood Sealed Covenant

God has made a promise to all mankind, to those who are willing to take the time to read His word.  In this promise it provides for us to have real relationship with God at the highest degree of faith.

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. –Romans 11:27 {KJV}

This blood sealed covenant promise has been established through Jesus and His sacrifice.  This agreement with God and man has bound heaven and earth together for the materialization of miracles, signs and wonders in the body of Christ.  We must do our part to walk in these miracles, signs and wonders of this agreement.

If we say we believe God, then let’s believe in order to receive God’s fullness.  We must learn to be bold in what we believe.  For all things are possible to those that believe. Remember there is no sin greater than God.  If you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, then you believe that this covenant agreement that was shed, was sealed for the renewing of our minds, hearts and by Jesus’ blood.

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. {KJV}- For this is my blood, sealing the New Covenant.  It is poured out to forgive the sins of multitudes.{TLB} –Matthew 26:28

God covered each and everyone of us in this agreement.  Now we have to come into agreement in ourselves that this is what we have chosen to believe in our lives.  Don’t waver or doubt, hold fast to the agreement that God has given us.  We are all spirits, created by God who is Spirit.

God always hears you.  your prayers are always being heard, so do your part and believe.  Remember faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.  You are always in our prayers.

We are Warriors

The devil is a LIAR

You know that right?  You know that he is always awake and spewing lies at you right? Satan is always trying to get you to give up, to quit trying.  He tells you things are just too hard & impossible. Lies!  He tells you that you will never come out of the struggles that ail you. Lies!  He wants you to stay broke, busted and disgusted. It’s time to discern those attacks in your thoughts by him.  Divide and conquer them with the truth of God’s word and quit believing his lies.

Fighting for the FAITH

We are warriors, put an effort towards faith!  You always have a choice to make in every trial and tribulation.  Do you sit back and allow that circumstance to overcome you? Or do you stand up, get out of the boat and walk towards Jesus?  Jesus is going to meet you there, but you have to go towards your faith.

We are Warriors…FIGHT!

Stop dragging around, whining and crying in your problems.  Call on the power and authority within yourself by the Holy Spirit!  Take the Life-Giving, Fire-Breathing Word of God, put it in your heart, speak it over your circumstances and FIGHT like a True Believer and Warrior of the Almighty God!

The Time is Now Series

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. -Isaiah 43:19

The end of another year is fast approaching. It’s time to leave the past in the past and look ahead to the amazing journey God has for us next. 2015 is the year of suddenly, the year of Now! 

As believers we need to know that the time is now.  Everything that we need…health, wholeness, prosperity, peace, everything was taken care of SUDDENLY when Jesus died and rose again. You have it now, you have your healing now, His peace now, you’re debts are paid now.  It’s already there, you just have to believe it to receive it.

Have faith in God, that the time is now.  God’s timing is now, suddenly.  Your health, prosperity, deliverance, peace, etc… is bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus 2000 years ago. 

So whatever you are facing today, just believe that God has already given you the answer.  If you are sick believe that God has already healed you, if you are depressed believe that you are already delivered through the blood.  Whatever you are going through God has already taken care of it.  The time is now!  Not tomorrow, but now!  Trust and believe. Have faith in God.

Thanks for joining us for another Sermon Sunday series.  We truly hope you are being blessed by all of our free content here on this website.  We are here for you if you need prayer let us know.  God Bless!

God has a Great Plan for You

Letting Go

You have to trust that God knows what is best for you. If something is not working in your life, you have to give it up to Him. When you surrender and align your plans with His, it may hurt for a moment, but God will turn your sadness into joy and give you strength to get through and peace until you see victory.

God has a Great Plan for You

God has a better plan for your life than you could ever dream up! 

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. -Jeremiah 29:11

We Were Created for Relationship With God

Our main purpose on earth was relationship with God.  This should be our top priority. He is always waiting, always listening and whether you believe it or not always speaking to us. We just don’t always listen. He wants us healthy, whole and prosperous in all areas of our lives.  His only desire is that we are well and that we love Him. He treasures us!  It makes no sense to me why people think God wants us poor or sick.  He loves us with an everlasting love and has already given us everything good.  We just have to believe it.

 

The Force of Faith Series

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. -Romans 4:17

Call those things that be not as though they were! Use the force of faith and bring what already exists in the spiritual realm into existence in the natural realm.  Aren’t you tired of being sick, broke, defeated or lacking in any area of your life? Then get up and believe God.  Your circumstances are all beneath the name of Jesus and have no real power in your life. Trust and believe! Reach out with the force of faith and bring the virtue of health and wholeness of Jesus into you.   Fear not believe only!

Humble yourself before the Lord, drop your need at the feet of Jesus and believe that the need is going to come to pass.  Our ways, the world’s ways and every other way will fail time and time again. But when we allow the force of faith to reach out and touch Jesus, He turns and heals our bodies, our finances, our trials and tribulations. All praise, honor and Glory to our Father!

Are you ready to use your force of faith? What are you believing God for right now in your life? 

We hope that you enjoy our series  “The Force of Faith”. Our purpose is to encourage you and help to push you towards total faith and trust in God.  Thank you for your prayers and support of this ministry.  You are always in our prayers.  Have a blessed week.
