Understanding The Signs Of The Times

Good morning, yes it is truth that no man knows the day or hour that Jesus Christ return, but we as believers should be able to discern the last days and recognize the sign of the times, so soon and very soon so people live ready because Jesus is coming! Wheat and tears will grow together in the field until the Lord of harvest separates them, so quit feeling like everyone that comes up together or dwells with you a little while is meant for your life because they aren't. They're a season and no matter how beautiful the thing to remember about a season is it will always change. So separation is a part of the divine plan of God of bringing clarity into the situation, for if they would have been for your life they would have stayed. Quit holding on to people when is God separating people's hearts and desires from you let them go and trust the will of God for your life. No one has left your life that God intended for them to stay...the will of God will never take you where grace of God can keep you including loss. 1 John 2:15-19 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires will pass away, but whoever does the will of God will live forever 18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

The Need For Wisdom In A Foolish World

Good morning, do you hear wisdom calling out your name....if you have already been foolish, now is the to become wise and if you are the confused in spirit isn't it wonderful time to gain understanding and be the soul who is set free! The day that you hear God's voice harden not your heart, in other words be discerning about what you do next. So when I read this passage it ran deep for me and for those who have been known not to make the best decisions, should understand why. Life will make a fool out of you, if your not prayed up because sin will take you further in the wrong direction then you ever expected to go and keep you longer then you ever wanted to stay! Proverbs 8: 1-11 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? 2 At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; 3 beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud: 4 “To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind. 5 You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on wisdom. 6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. 8 All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. 9 To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge. 10 Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, 11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

The Faithfulness Of God>>>Your Full Recovery

BECAUSE OF A HEALING JESUS>>> YOUR FULL RECOVERY Man's extremities (their limitations to heal)while are they practicing medicine, is God's area of expertise look to Him. Because your is back already is against the wall and they say there is nothing else that they can do for you it the perfect time for Jesus. So you might as well turn your face to the wall and pray and seek for your full recovery. Most of us faithfully take our medicine for years, so what if we were to take our scriptures the same way. Am I telling you stop medication, NO absolutely not BUT I am telling the start your scriptures of healing and prayers of total recovery. Psalms 107: 19.Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. 20. He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from all their afflictions. Glory to God!!! God desires you whole spirit, soul and body.  3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. So be encouraged...the path to total prosperity is readily available to you.
Isaiah 38:1-6 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.

What Are You Asking God For Today

When you are believing God for a miracle there is often ridicule, naysayers, doubters and unbelievers alike all around you, but don't let that detour your faith or steal your joy. To barren in the Bible as a woman, was to be cursed and looked down upon with scorn in the society it was heavy burden to bare. Imagine that praying Hannah, barren with lesser women giving birth all around her but God remembered her! So may the God of perfect timing remember you, give your heart peace and grant you prayerfully placed petition is my prayer for you this morning. I encourage you to wait on the Lord, not to worry and just worship.1 Samuel 1:12-20 12 As she kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. 13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk 14 and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.”15 “Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied, “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord.
16. Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.”17 Eli answered, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.” 18 She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast. 19 Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the Lord and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her. 20 So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”

Humble Yourself Before The Lord

Being out of the will of God can literally drive you crazy, it is dangerous to think more highly of yourself then you ought. But often when we are wrong God will send us a warning through the word of the prophet- PAY ATTENTION heeding the warning could save your life! 2 Chronicles 20:20- Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall you prosper. Those who are PROUD WILL BE bought low but humble God will exalt in due season. But if your proud and humble yourself before the Lord God is gracious to restore you even in the midst of a fall. Daniel 4:33-37 33. Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.34. At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion;his kingdom endures from generation to generation. 35 All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. God does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: “What have you done?”
36 At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

The Importance Of The Presence Of The Lord

Good afternoon, God is a good yes He is.......and He watches over His Word to perform it. 1 Samuel 16: 1-13 1. The Lord asked Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul now that I have rejected him as king of Israel? Fill a flask with olive oil and go. I’m sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem because I have selected one of his sons to be king.” Now you get to chose how long grieve the one who the anointing has departed but at some point you will need to get up and go on with what God has spoken. So often God is not speaking about us the way that people speak about us because people are busy looking at us at the moment but God is looking at us knowing our end the from the beginning. David the Shepherd, the youngest in the midst of a family of warriors, oh don't you despise the days of small beginnings. It is preparation of faithfulness over small things that God instills greatness in is. Because if you have the anointing of God on your life, He has His ways of bringing you from the background into the forefront! 7 But the Lord told Samuel, “Don’t look at his appearance or how tall he is, because I have rejected him. God does not see as humans see. Humans look at outward appearances, but the Lord looks into the heart.”
11. Are these all the sons you have?” “There’s still the youngest one,” Jesse answered. “He’s tending the sheep.”Samuel told Jesse, “Send someone to get him. We won’t continue until he gets here.” 12 So Jesse sent for him. He had a healthy complexion, attractive eyes, and a handsome appearance. The Lord said, “Go ahead, anoint him. He is the one.” 13 Samuel took the flask of olive oil and anointed David in the presence of his brothers. The Lord’s Spirit came over David and stayed with him from that day on.

Developing Godly Character

Good morning , just a little reminder about the kind of character that we should have in Christ. i know that the cares of this world sometimes makes us want to throw up both of our hands don't be defeated by the cares of this world but be surrendered to the will of God. I have seen this time in time again in my life, but if you have not experienced this just wait a little while and you will. I have seen something else under the sun: 
Ecclesiastes 9:11 -The race is not given to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. When it is your turn in God no one can block your blessing, because God opens doors for you and no one can shut them and shut doors and no one can open them. So wait on your due season my brothers and sisters if you stay in obedience the blessing is on the way.
Galatians 6: 6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Are You Living By The Spirit Or Your Flesh

Good morning, I would say to that what you feed will grow so what are nurturing in your spirit today? I have not brought to this to your attention to condemn anyone but to confirm the direction that we should be going as believers, for God is a God of order . Proverbs 24:16- It is not we don't fall short of glory sometimes but we get up and get back in line, for the righteous falls seven times and rises eight for long as rise more then you fall it be count unto you as righteousness, but the wicked stay down in times of trouble . If you fall repent and move on there is not the time for you to sit on the sideline when God has work for you to do. God forgives you now you forgive yourself and move on.
Galatians 5:16-26 16. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

THE POINT OF A SPIRITUAL FAST

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE>>>THE POINT OF A SPIRITUAL FAST What if we as believers have been bringing fast before the Lord but not in its entirety? Therefore the fast is not yielding the desired fruit in our lives, i I heard many teachings on fasting none quite broke down the purpose of a fast for me like this. But if we are carnal and heathen then be that, but if we are spiritual people then we need to be that including fasting and prayer and not just for ourselves but for those around us. Sometimes we get caught up with doing right thing for the wrong reason when is looking at our heart. But does not the Bible says to Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. -Galatians 6:2 Isaiah 58:6 -God says, No, what I want in a fast is this: to liberate those tied down and held back by injustice to lighten the load of those heavily burdened, to free the oppressed and shatter every type of oppression. 7 A fast for Me involves sharing your food with people who have none, giving those who are homeless a space in your home, Giving clothes to those who need them, and not neglecting your own family. 8 Then, oh then, your light will break out like the warm, golden rays of a rising sun; and in an instant, you will be healed.Your rightness before the Lord will precede and protect you; the glory of the God will follow and defend you. 9 Then when you do call out, “My God, Where are You?” The Eternal One will answer, “I am here, I am here. ”If you remove the yoke of oppression from the downtrodden among you, stop accusing others, and do away with mean and inflammatory speech. 10 If you make sure that the hungry and oppressed have all that they need, then your light will shine in the darkness, and even your bleakest moments will be bright as a clear day. 11 The Eternal One will never leave you; He will lead you in the way that you should go. When you feel dried up and worthless, God will nourish you and give you strength And you will grow like a garden lovingly tended; you will be like a spring whose water never runs out.

The Birthing Season Of God And The Need For Travail

This Word was burning my spirit yesterday and I woke up with it still with me this morning ...I think those can discern the spiritual season that we are in as children of God, will understand.  When you are in the birthing season of God the spirit of travail shall bring your manifestation to pass. Prostrate yourself before Lord ....The Spirit of Travail those tears the groaning of your heart and the waiting in presence of your God is not in vain. But shall bring it to pass therefore you shall have whatever it is that you are expecting from God bare down baby and P.U.S. H. Prostrate 1. To put or throw flat with the face down, as in submission or adoration: and Travail . To be in the labor of childbirth. This a season of pressing into the glory of God though the process may painful at times but keep pressing due season is coming for your just reward.
John 16:20-22 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21.A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22. And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.

I Got Good News-You Are On The Mind Of God

I think that sometimes we worry that God has forgotten us in the midst of the struggle in our lives....the truth is you are ALWAYS on the mind of God. I want you know without any doubt or hesitation that God loves and is thinking about you today wherever you are and whatever it is that you are going through God is right there. He will not leave forsake you the love of God is so powerful that even if you make your bed in hell God will not have left nor forgotten about you isn't good reason it strive to be in heaven with him. God desires good for you and not your destruction so pay close attention to your decisions. Jeremiah 29:11-13 11. 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. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Psalm 139:7- Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, You are there 10. Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. 17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.

Obedience-Learning How To Not Surrender To Your Flesh

People we have to go get into obedience with the Holy Spirit instead always surrendering to the feeling of our flesh. It so easy to get caught up on how we feel rather what God says for us to do in obedience to Him. I go through it the up and downs but in the midst of the storm we need to stay consistent in our faith. That is why the Word encourage us as believers to let this mind be in you which also in Christ Jesus. The battle for the fruits of the Spirit (such as joy, peace, love, long suffering, etc.,) in our lives are won or lost in the battlefield of the mind, therefore I am determined to be God conscious at all time. I am learning that it's okay to recognize my situation but it is most important that I see God in the midst of it all high and lifted up. Romans 8:5-11 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. not the law, nor can it do so.

If You Are Desiring Rest...Seek God

Everybody needs rest and God is calling us to a place of rest and faith in Him. But you must know who is your source because the ways of the world will sometimes work you to death if your not careful. But God says that there is a rest that remains wholeness is available spirit, soul and body. Don't keep wandering around like the children of Israel when you can enter into your spiritual promise land in God. You can't always find rest even with good leadership, sometimes you have go to directly to source for yourself, God to find what you are searching for and many are seeking rest today. Matthew 11:28 -God says, come you who are weary an with heavy burdens and I will give you rest
Hebrews 4: 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day for rest. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. 11. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

The God Of Love Is The SAME God Of Justice......

Good morning, when this is was like whoa in my spirit especially in light of recent events. Know when you stand on the side of justice that you stand on the side of God. Then all I could truly then say was Lord have mercy I was truly heartbroken terms of America. Because some in authority have some explaining to do not only to the people but to God himself, pay attention to how God will deal with them for judgement is coming. Because so many of us have deep misunderstanding about what is good, righteous and just according to God, but God clearly explains His will for us in Micah 6:8 -He has shown you, O man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Psalms 82:1-8 1 The True God stands to preside over the heavenly council. He pronounces judgment on the so-called gods. 2 He asks: “How long will you judge dishonestly and be partial to the wicked?”[pause] God waits for us to answer Him! 3 “Stand up for the poor and the orphan; advocate for the rights of the afflicted and those in need. 4 Deliver the poor and the needy; rescue them from their evil oppressors.” 5 These bullies are ignorant; they have no understanding of My ways. So as they walk in darkness, the foundations of the earth tremble. 6 I said, “Though you are gods and children of the Most High, 7 You will die no differently than any mortal; you will fall like one of the princes.” 8 Rise up, O True God; judge the rulers of the earth, for all the nations are Yours.

LET WHAT WOULD JESUS DO BE OUR GUIDE

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE....LET WHAT WOULD JESUS DO BE OUR GUIDE Sowing and reaping are real therefore plants the seeds today that you want to see come to harvest in your life because they will. When you feel the desire to be negative or impatient consider God's patience with you in your process and stand down. Sometimes you need to speak over your situation "Peace Be Still" and leave it at that. God is at work in every situation and we don't to understand why in every situation we as people of faith have to trust in the Lord that the will of the Lord is perfect. This has really been in my spirit lately- Thy kingdom come and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you Lord!!! 1 Peter 4:5-11: This blessed me this morning
5 But remember that they will have to face God, who will judge everyone, both the living and the dead. 6 That is why the Good News was preached to those who are now dead—so although they were destined to die like all people, they now live forever with God in the Spirit. 7 The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. 8 Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. 10 God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 11 Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

What The Trayvon Martin Case Has Thought Us......

My Pastor message today was profound, especially as it pertains to the Trayvon Martin case.... yes he talked about it, thank you Man of God Pastor Vincent T. Warren! For God would not have us to be ignorant of the devil's devices especially in light of evil days such as these. We must stand on guard against the spirit of racism and hatred trying to inhabit us because of injustice. Because we wrestle not against flesh and blood but power and principalities, but we get distracted because we are busy looking people and not addressing the spirit attached to their actions. As children of God we are to seek peace and pursue it. Racism, hatred, injustice, etc. are all spirits now we can deal in the fruit all day everyday but until you get the root problem the evil fruit will continue manifest itself in America. Confession is good for the soul so let's talk about it openly and honestly. I would say what the Word says, for the Word says that we can be angry but sin not, Jesus was angry when he tore the temple up when he ran money changers out his anger was about injustice. Righteous anger/indignation has its place it if you use that emotion to make positive change and correct an injustice in society. But we can't just remain angry we must move the process forward to healing the situation. Because at the of the day we are accountable for our own actions and obligated by God to love everybody even our enemies and to pray for who would mistreat us ...so rise above my brothers and sisters!
