THE GIFT....

GOOD MORNING!

Ac 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
 Ac 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The gift we all shall receive is the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is a part of the trinity...Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The three are one, yet have separate offices or functions...all working together...but with individual missions. The Father is Creator...In Control of All things, Oversees...the Son...He is Redeemer and Deliverer...the Christ, the Messiah...God-man, our interceder...It is in the NAME of JESUS where POWER is imparted from us...the power imparted to us is ...THE HOLY GHOST.

I am disappointed I have lived the first ten years of my walk with God unknowing or not taught the necessity and need of the Holy Ghost. BUT GOD...who is faithful...man didn't teach me the power and need for the Holy Ghost...God did! Man cannot live the abundant supernatural filled with power life without recognizing the Holy Ghost. How is it so many rarely even acknowledge His part in our lives????

Satan the great deceiver has stolen from the believer their power to walk IN Christ...that power is the Holy Ghost...

We are sealed with the Holy Spirit Eph. 1:13, He is our Comforter, He is our teacher for ALL things, He will help us remember the Word John 14:26, He will guide us into ALL truth, and will show us things to come John 16:13 He anoints us, He abides in us, again teaches us all things 1John 2:27, He has given us ALL things pertaining to life and godliness 2Peter 1:3 and as today's verse tells us He IS THE GIFT of naming JESUS.

If you are not trusting or relying in Jesus and enjoying the Gift He has given you...START TODAY!!
Don't put God in a box, they very same Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever along with God and the Holy Spirit. He wants to fill you daily to the over-flow, He wants to empower you to do things you can not even imagine.

Who said Paul and Peter, James and John are the last of the Mohican's?!!! God can use you to do the like or even more...Don't let man discourage you or tell you any different. God has great plans for you, we need to embrace the equipment He has given us to achieve His work in and through us. Our work has nothing to do with us, and the Holy Spirit does the work for one purpose and that is to glorify God...we cannot glorify God on our own. The Holy Spirit has God's back and He assures God's work, God's purpose and agenda and helps us to be obedient to our call!

I would rather die than to have the power of Holy Spirit removed from me...living without His power is like a dry waste land, like a hamster on a wheel...working and never getting anywhere.

Mind you, If you have claimed Jesus you are sealed...however their is much more to the Holy Spirit that meets the eye! Ask God to show you more!!!

YOU ARE POSITIONED BY GOD AND HIGHLY FAVORED!! WALK IN TRUTH AND IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST!

Spirit of Truth guides us...

GOOD MORNING!!

Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

The Spirit of Truth has come! The Holy Spirit resides in us from the moment of our redemption! Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Amen!!

He will guide us into ALL truth...what does it take for you to be guided? We must follow. Many of us are so busy we are doing the leading or being sidetracked with the distractions of life.  We are out of touch with His guiding so, we go off and do things our own way. We come to realize it is our own way because it lacks TRUTH, amen! We cannot do things that we want to do, and self bless it in Jesus' name and think its TRUTH. We must be guided...so often if we are honest with ourselves...we lead the way.

How is that working for us? Many answer...IT'S NOT! We must be intentional to eliminate those things that we have given priority over and get back &, turn back to God.

But look...the Spirit of Truth never talks about himself...He is ALWAYS....ALWAYS... pointing us to Jesus, the Word, our Heavenly Father, and to be more like Christ! He doesn't go back on His Word, He doesn't contradict the Word. He is teaching us right from wrong according to God's standards. He is encouraging us through the Word to be separate from the world, peculiar, different. It never says to attract the world or bring the world in. The Power of the Gospel is in the simplicity in and of itself. Think about the compromises we make leading God.

But here is yet another amazing point to this verse! The Holy Spirit will show us things to come. He warns us, He prepares us...I don't believe we experience anything God doesn't prepare us for! If we think back, if we have been guided we can see the work...the very fingerprints of God unfolding His plan and letting us in on some of those details. We may not understand or know it to the fullest, but He gives us inclinations. Most of us will never see or understand because we are so preoccupied with distractions, we miss the sweet whisper of the Holy Spirit teaching, preparing or even warning us.

1Jo 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

May I say, It is more than going to church for an hour a week. Church is not a relationship with God...Serving is not a relationship with God...Fellowship is not a relationship with God. Spending alone time, intimate quiet time, communing with God, confessing, working out your own salvation with fear and trembling, hungering and thirsting after Him, seeking...most of all ABIDING is where we develop our relationship with God. The Holy Spirit abides in us, no man can teach us the things of God they way God can, we have the anointing because he abides in us and we are told HE teaches us ALL things and is truth and there is no lie! So just as He has taught us we should abide in HIM.


We as a Body of Christ must learn how to depend and be desperate for the Holy Spirit's guide, too many of us follow man...and as we can see as a whole for the Church it isn't working. We must turn back and follow the Holy Spirit...it may take time to learn to hear His prompting...but God promises that without FAITH it is impossible to please HIM and HE is a rewarder to those who diligently seek HIM! By abiding and being guided our serving and fellowship and desire to be in church will come supernaturally...we never want to do the natural thing amen!

May we put all physical things in their proper place...may we prioritize our spiritual necessities above all else...may we understand the function and obedience of God's commissions as He intended them to be.

YOUR ARE POSITIONED BY GOD AND HIGHLY FAVORED!!!!

Remember all your promises and forget all your sins...God doesn't hold them over our heads, the enemy does...we are to examine ourselves and confess to make right with God the errors of our ways and then look to HIM, satan would have you internalize and dwell...this is not of God it takes our focus off of Jesus...our confession and turning from our ways is all God asks and He forgives instantly without hesitation. Walk in freedom as we were made to walk...God is working all things out for good to those who love Him and those He has called, Amen!!!

Complete in Him

Good Morning!

Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Ever feel out of sorts, on the fringe, just dont fit in? Lies the world wants to yell at you! Your not
smart enough, rich enough, fun enough, pretty enough, really...who is? However....IN CHRIST...

We are told we are COMPLETE IN HIM...He is the head of ALL...the end all be all! Why are we comparing ourselves to what the world wants us to mold to?

There is always more to learn no matter what level we are at, more money to be made no matter how much our bank accounts tell us, there is always a bigger mountain to climb and no matter how much outter work we do on ourselves...its not about the outside, its about the inside...the beauty of our hearts...where Christ resides!

You wanna know what I would love you all to take away today is that you are beautifully put together, you are richer than any worldly bank account, you have wisdom beyond the books and your enjoyment comes from an all together different adventure...YOU ARE COMPLETE JUST THE WAY YOU ARE IN CHRIST!!!

God didnt need to clean up your act before He swooped down and loved on you, did He!? He took you just the way you are and it is His work that is transforming us. Dont let the world and humanism lie and condemn you...You are free...you are loved...you are complete and accepted....
 Eph 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
 Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

We are RICH...WE HAVE JESUS...WE ARE ACCEPTED AND COMPLETE IN HIM!!! This world is not our home...we are just traveling though a physical world in the spiritual realm...we must not allow the physical to distract our purpose and mission...which is to LIVE through this life with abundant grace and power to GLORIFY GOD and show the physical world that our Spiritual God is real and works!!Amen!!!

Ps. We can compare our clothes...they arent designer enough...your birthday suit is just a physical custome...let us not get so obssessed in decorating it, amen!!

YOU ARE POSITIONED BY GOD AND HIGHLY FAVORED!!!

If you become a follower of the blog, I believe you will get updates sent to you when we post! Love Deb.

We have been DELIVERED.....

Good Morning!

We have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of His dear Son! Col 1:13
Remember Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We have been delivered from satans power over us!
We are now no longer under satans kingdom but Jesus'!
We are now children of light 1Jo 1:5 ¶ This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1Jo 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

In the Name of Jesus, because of His Blood, and His Word...we can humble ourselves to God...resist the devil and he WILL flee! He has zero power over us...if we BELIEVE and we are
fully persuaded. It doesnt mean he doesnt stop trying...however what it does mean is that he doesnt get anymore victory over us because Jesus gave us surpassing
victory when HE ROSE AGAIN...He conquerored death with our names on it...so we can conqueror more for His kingdom now!

Struggling with inner torment...thought life running you ragged...angry and bitter and not sure why...fearful of the "what if's"???????

Take out some time, go into your prayer closet claim your verse its God's Holy Word with Power, you come in Jesus' Name, and your power rests only
because of Jesus and His precious blood and PRAY AGAINST YOUR TORMENT....humble yourself name your trouble and resist the thoughts, feelings and
emotions in Jesus Name and you will be surprise the peace that comes over you when the enemy is made to leave at the sound of His Great Name!!!

We live in a physical world but we are spiritual beings and our battles are in the spiritual...we must encourage each other to fight in the spiritual realm to have
surpassing victory. We need each other, we need likemindedness and realize who we are up against...together if we all could lock elbows we could shake
the very foundation of hell, AMEN!!!

God tells us to love one another throughout scriptures...want to know one of the reasons? Satan HATES LOVE...he is the very opposite of all God is! If we love
one another (which is the part of what we have been translated into from our delivery!!!) he will flee...love conquerors all! The Power of the Holy Spirit will win
everytime if we humble ourselves to Him!!

YOU ARE POSITIONED BY GOD AND HIGHLY FAVORED!!!

Walk in GODS AMAZING GRACE TODAY...RECEIVE GRACE FOR YOURSELF...FREELY GIVE GRACE TO OTHERS...AND ALLOW GRACE TO DIRECT
AND GUIDE YOU!!! GRACE, GRACE, GRACE...ITS FREEING...ITS EMPOWERING...IT DELIVERS!!!

IT IS GOD...

GOOD MORNING!!!

Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
 Php 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
 Php 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Who is working in us? ...What is He doing in and through us?...Why is He working in us?

It is God that is doing HIS WILL because of HIS good pleasure...so think about that...God desires to transform us and if He is doing the work He will use all
of our day to day activities and conflicts to do so. Which means, even when we mess up, God is training us to exercise HIS WILL and respond as He would
like us to! Rom 8:28 God is working ALL things out...do we believe this? If we do, we not only love God for taking our messy broken selfs and fixing us but
we now can see with spiritual eyes and see He is doing that with everyone else. As we see this we can claim...we wrestle not with flesh and blood...so if
we struggle with the tormentors of jealousy, anger, bitterness, inferiority etc...it truly is God working out HIs good pleasure.He wants to change us, he wants
us to love and encourage others, even when they cant see the truth....father forgive them they know not what they do! It shows us not to hold someone
else at such a high standard without giving them the benefit of the doubt when we ourselves are in desperate need of God's grace and molding, amen!!!

We all are capable of doing it and therefore should understand when it is done to us...to be compassionate and loving.

that is why He says, do all things without murmings and complaining...love one another...so we are blameless and harmless children of God without rebuke
in this perverse world...we are the ones that ought to shine!

May we all desire God's transforming grace upon us, as we are on the front lines in training with life, so that we can take accountability for ourselves
not complain and shine for Jesus!

YOU ARE POSITIONED BY GOD AND HIGHLY FAVORED!!!!

LET OUR LIGHTS SO SHINE BEFORE MEN THAT THEY MAY SEE OUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN!

Who might you love on today that is unloveable...love is unconditional...dont look for anything back...it becomes contagious
