1 Corinthians 2:1-6  I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you  the testimony of God  with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you  except Jesus Christ and him crucified.  And I was with you in weakness  and in fear and much trembling,  and my speech and my message  were not in plausible words of wisdom,  but in demonstration  of the Spirit and of power,  so that your faith might not rest  in the wisdom of men  but in the power of God. 2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay  to show that this all-surpassing power  is from God and not from us. James 1:18 He chose to give us birth   through the word of truth,  that we might be  a kind of first fruits  of all he created. I love the essence of God! His perfume is wonderful! His radiance is glorious!  The Word He sends out: WORKS!  Not in the  wisdom of mere man (our wisdom is flawed) but the PERFECT Power of God!  I say perfect because- our God is perfect in everything He does!  There is no flaw in Him! This wonderful Word we talk about: this Good News, of Jesus Christ and His cross and resurrection is the beginning of our faith.  Our seed starts changing.   To the believer the harvest begins! God provides the seed.  It is up to us to take it, plant it, water it, and harvest it.   2 Cor 9:10 says; Now He who supplies the seed to the sower, and bread for food, will also supply and increase your store of seed, and will enlarge the harvest of your harvest.   Romans 12:3 says God gives us a measure of faith!   There is not one man who hasn’t had God’s seed planted in Him.  However, it takes that one man to do something with the seed!  When you do something man-  like plant it in your heart (God’s word, God’s love, anything- everything pertaining to God) is when wisdom grows.  God’s wisdom, not mans!  The Power of God grows in us, through our faith in Christ Jesus!  No man can come to the Father except through Jesus Christ; scripture says.  We are the special ones!  We grow! It’s spring time right now.  All the little seedlings are doing something right now!  I pass by this field of nothing but yellow flowers.  But they are not just any flower, they are yellow mustard flowers attached to mustard greens.  The field started out brown, because the grown was plowed. Then the rains came.  My field of faith (as I call it) began to bloom.  The whole lot of many acres was bright yellow, front to back, side to side of brilliant yellow!  The seed did something, it trusted God to take care of it; and God did!  God watered it, nourished it, and enjoyed the blooms and joy of His beautiful creation.  He does the same for us.  We have a seed- the Word of God (Himself)- planted in us.  This Word is HOPE, and without this hope, we perish!   Our FAITH is revealed, uncovered by God, and love starts to grow.   Christ in me, the Hope of glory!  Listen to this scripture:  Romans 1:17 says: For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ.  It is the power of God at work,  saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us  how God makes us right in his sight.  This is accomplished from start to finish by faith.  As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”  The just shall live by faith! In closing,  Let’s revisit 2 Cor 4:7, and James 1:18.   We are the jars of clay, scripture is referring to.  And we are the ones who God gives this special birth.  The ones who believe, are God’s special treasure.  The ones who are the doers of the word.  A seed can do nothing by itself in the package.  But planted, it can grow into something lovely.  It can bear fruit!  It can help feed others.  I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL- FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD!  FOR IT IS THE SALVATION TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES. IN IT, IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED—- FROM FAITH TO FAITH…  THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH…THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.  Praise God, He sees me(us) this way- - -   r i g h e t o u s!!!! Faith to faith (in my humble opinion) is my faith in God, to God’s faith in me.   God has faith in me- to do His will! He trusts me!  Or....faith from one level to a higher level IN God!  (same thing!) His faith in me is unfathomable, just as abundant as He is!  As I believe in Him, and believe all He says: my FAITH GROWS… I can REST.. because it is GOD’S POWER that is working in me!  I do not have to rely on my man wisdom- or my man thoughts to get me by.   But RELY on God all the way- to take care of my seed, my plant, my tree and all God does for me.  ALL for His Glory!  Hallelujah!!! LORD, BLESS YOUR SEED TODAY.  FATHER, BLESS OUR FAITH.  HELP US TO TRUST YOU UNCONDITIONALLY. HELP US TO REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR WORD- WHICH IS THE SEED YOU HAVE PLANTED IN US, AND THE MEASURE OF FAITH YOU HAVE GIVEN TO US-  YOU TRUST US- TO PRESERVE YOUR WORD, TO HONOR IT, TO RESPECT IT, AND TO EVEN LIVE IT IN OUR LIVES-  FOR WE ARE RE-PRESENTING YOU JESUS CHRIST, WE ARE PRESENTING THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD, AND WE ARE NOT ASHAMED!!! NO, WE ARE NOT ASHAMED OF YOU.  LIKE PAUL, HELP US TO SPREAD YOUR GOOD NEWS TO OTHERS.  BLESS THE WORDS OF OUR MOUTH, (THE WORDS OF MY FINGERTIPS) AND THANK YOU THAT YOUR WORD- YOUR VERY WORD- PROSPERS!  AS YOU SEND IT OUT- IT WILL BEAR FRUIT!  IT WILL ACCOMPLISH ALL YOU WANT IT TO, AND IT WILL BRING FORTH SALVATION.  PLEASE BLESS YOUR JARS OF CLAY TODAY ABBA, WE ASK.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORD THAT WILL NOT RETURN TO YOU EMPTY- BUT WITH BLESSINGS TO THE BELIEVER…FROM FAITH TO FAITH…  IN JESUS NAME, WE PRAY TO BELIEVE TO RECEIVE, IN AGREEMENT WE SAY:  “AMEN JESUS”  AMEN!

John 1:16

For out of His fullness ( His abundance) 

we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] 

one grace after another 

and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing 

and even favor upon favor 

and gift [heaped] upon gift.

Are You GOD'S SON or DAUGHTER???

Jesus, I ask that you seal your words as the reader reads them.  
Convict, and let repentance come, let forgiveness come 
and wash clean and purify through your word, Jesus.  
Thank you Jesus, amen.

PEACE GIVE I TO YOU

NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES

(MY PEACE) I GIVE YOU.

IF YOU ARE FRIENDS WITH THE WORLD

YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF GOD.

YOU ARE EITHER FOR ME

OR AGAINST ME

CHOOSE LIFE AND BLESSING

OR CHOOSE DEATH (SIN) AND BE CURSED

IT IS YOUR CHOICE

CHOOSE GOD- CHOSE LIFE

FIND GOD

FIND LIFE

IF YOU REJECT MY WORDS

YOU REJECT ME

BE THE HEAD

NOT THE TAIL!

FIND ME-

SEEK ME-

HONOR ME-

SHUN THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD’S WAYS

SHUN SIN (THIS SIN THAT EASILY BESETS YOU)

CLEAN YOUR TEMPLE

FOR IF YOU DO NOT,

CLAMITY WILL COME (AND IT WILL BE WITH YOUR PERMISSION THAT IT HAS HAPPENED)

LET MY WORD NOT BE TRAMPLED BECAUSE OF FLESH

BUT LET THE REALITY OF MY WORDS RESONATE

ARE YOU IN THE LIGHT?

ARE YOU PART OF GOD?

ARE YOU IN GOD?

SHOW YOURSELF TO THE WORLD!  PROUDLY, WITH YOUR HEAD LIFTED HIGH.

SHOW THE WORLD WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS!

ARE YOU THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS?

GET RID OF YOUR VERY OWN FILTHY RAGS-

FOR THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION TO GOD (THEY ARE INSULTING, AND SMELL VERY BAD, AND GOD WILL NOT USE THEM)

LISTEN TO GOD- IN ALL THINGS.

REMOVE YOURSELF FROM EVIL

I was reminded of these scriptures this morning.  For us to have the blessings of God we need to BE of the Light…as we walk hand in hand with God.

Grace is here to help us!  God enables us to walk FREE in Him and with Him!  But we have to purpose in our heart to turn away from the world’s way.

That means: put sin far from me.  HATE it, in fact! Because when we LOVE it we can’t walk in unity with God.

Life in sin is literally LIFE or DEATH for a soul.   As for me, I choose LIFE!  And, in “choosing life” Peace comes, and rest on every side comes!  God is with me!  And nothing shall snatch me out of His hands.

He is my help!  As I submit- and refuse sin, the devil has to flee…God says so.  As I shun sin, blessings of God come, because LIGHT is here to lead me in the way of righteousness.  (It is a wonderful path)

But I have to be clean- sin free- and I can do all things with the help of Jesus- the only way to get to God is through Jesus, scripture says.  Dirty sinful me, is wasteful me if I choose sin rather than choose God.  

This is sad to God- to see such waste, when it doesn’t have to be.  For, God wants us ALL with Him!

So lastly, as I remove myself from sin, loving my neighbor as myself, forgiving him, and walking in the Light; imitating my Father’s LOVE… I can, and I will be of peace, because the God of Peace will help me.  The God of Purity will help me, if I desire to be pure.  The God of resurrection will resurrect me from death to life, as I believe IN HIM, the One True God, Jesus Christ who gives Eternal Life.

Thank you Jesus.  Bless your Word today.  Let your message penetrate the heart you choose to minister to. In Jesus name, I thank you.  Thank you for the Freedom of being a Son and Daughter of the Most High God!  We can do this thing called life as we place our trust IN You, my Lord.
Thank you again,  Amen.

1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-4 Amplified Version

And now let me remind you 

[since it seems to have escaped you] brethren, 

of the Gospel (the glad tidings of salvation) 

which I proclaimed to you, 

which you welcomed 

and accepted 

and upon which your faith rests, 

For I passed on to you

 first of all 

what I also had received, 

that Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) 

died for our sins in accordance with [what] the Scriptures [foretold], 

That He was buried, that He arose on the third day as the Scriptures foretold.

Psalm 51:10

Create in me

 a clean heart, 

O God, 

and renew 

a right spirit 

within me.

You see,

when our heart is clean,

and our spirit man is right,

God blesses us

with abundance!

spiritual blessings

heaped

upon spiritual blessings

gifts

heaped

upon gifts

A renewed mind is a blessed mind

& a pure heart

will

see 

God!

OUR HEART IS GOD'S HOME

Our 

heart

is

God’s

Home!

SO, If I may ask,

How do you treat your home?

Do you keep it clean?

Are you embarrassed when others knock at the door?

What do you think?

If we look at the home God gave us in this spiritual light

maybe we can appreciate the goodness of God

even more!

If my heart is God’s home,

I want to keep it clean.

because, I want a clean heart

and a right spirit in me! *Ps 51:10

I want clean hands

I want God to consider me innocent

because of Jesus’ Cross-

& because I am the keeper of my soul

I do not want this soul to have lived in vain,

and free from guilt *Ps 73:13

For Lord, I have purposely kept my heart pure

and have washed my hands, in innocence!

Therefore,

I constantly, consistently, persistently pray

I need God’s help!

When Jesus comes to my home

I want Him to be comfortable

I want Him to come in

and sup with me!

If my heart is God’s home

and Jesus comes in

and sups with me,

so does God!

I want this!

Don’t you?

I want to dwell in the Secret Place of God

I want to Abide in Him *Psa 91:1

(And God wants me there with Him too!)

I need to keep my mind, and my heart pure

I need to be persistent!

I need to guard my heart!

For out of it

flows the issues of life- 

and it determines the 

course & the source and  Springs

of

my life! 

*Prov 4:23

If I can do all of this

(which I can) *Phil 4:13 says so

and

Hide God’s Word in my heart

so I won’t sin against Him.

Walking this way

is 

Cleansing!

I need not be embarrassed when God comes to my home!

Lastly, Jude 17-22 says:

We have God to direct us!

not our own whims or natural instincts.

But God!

We need to build each other up IN Christ Jesus!

Build each other up

in YOUR most HOLY Faith (yes, we have holy faith!)

Praying (without ceasing)

in the Holy Spirit (and Rom 8:26)

Keeping ourselves

in God’s Love,

while we are waiting…For our Lord Jesus Christ

to bring eternal life

Help others!

Snatch them out of the fire!

Show mercy, mixed with fear

HATING SIN….

I HATE SIN IN ME!

I CHOOSE TO BE CLEAN!

I CHOOSE TO BE PURE!

I AM

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST JESUS!

THEREFORE, I CAN!

I AM DETERMINED!

I AM PERSUADED!

This is how we keep our home clean!

Jesus help us.

I pray you help us to honor you.

Being clean

honest

honorable

for this brings joy to You

and  it keeps embarrassment far far far

away from us.

Help us Lord. 

Thank You

that our heart

is 

your

HOME!

In Jesus name, we pray and thank you

Amen Jesus!

Be blessed in your new day

in Jesus name

p.s.

Psalm 101:2

Proverbs 12:20

Psalm 9:10

Those who know your name

trust in you

For you, LORD

have never forsaken those 

who seek you.

What a promise!

Because we know the 

STRENGTH & POWER

of the NAME OF GOD

COMFORT comes!

TRUST comes!

CONFIDENCE IN GOD comes!

God has promised us

that He will never 

abandon us, or leave us comfortless.

But the secret is this:

you MUST SEEK GOD FIRST.

SEEK GOD WITH ALL YOU HAVE

SEARCH FOR HIM

BE DILIGENT!

AND AS YOU DO, BLESSINGS

HEAPED

UPON

BLESSINGS COME!

[ Christ in Our Place ] 

For when we were still without strength, 

in due time 

Christ died for the ungodly. 

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; 

yet perhaps for a good man 

someone would even dare to die. 

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, 

in that while we were still sinners, 

Christ died for us.

Romans 5:6-8 NKJV

 

What a trade. My sinful life, for the pure life of Jesus.

I deserved hell, yet, because of the TRADE, I get heaven.

I once was an unbeliever, confused and lost in my sin.

But because CHRIST died for my sin, I am now free!

I have a sound mind! And, because I now BELIEVE 

God has traded my sorrows for joy.

He has given me His peace.

I am protected. His angels surround me.

My faith is ignited!!

Heaven is my new home.

Christ died for me!

I am His child!

God is my strength!

My load is lighter because JESUS is my help.

I call on God for all my needs.

He is a very present help in time of trouble.

He is my Father, my Savior and Lord.

Amen JESUS!
