THIS IS WHAT I SEE..

I can see good happening to.


 I Believe


I believe that I may live to see the manifestation of my prayers come to pass. I believe I will see all my family walking with zeal in God’s truth. I believe I will see believers placed in positions in high places  [happening now], all abortions abolished, unions of marriages between only a man and a woman that will reproduce godly children. I believe all the medias that have lied to us for many decades will be replaced by those who refuse to compromise their integrity and are filled with God’s truth. I believe all perverted teachers will be replaced by those who cherish truth. This means the past history of our nation, the darkness of sorrows, along with the light.  I believe I will see the crooked paths made straight as all sanctuary cities will be turned upside down into a peaceful haven for wounded hearts, yet a place of accountability, a place of discipline and love in Christ. I believe our nation will be the hand of God that will bear fruit in Christ, move mountains by faith, heal souls and strive to do good. I believe I will see our nation worship God in Spirit and Truth. I believe this will come. I believe that any hardship we will face, we will endure together and it will make us stronger and wiser in Christ. We are His nation and we will be His people, humble and filled with thankful hearts! We will fight for what God has given to us and never again, allow room for the enemy to take control. I believe this is what will make America Great. Yes, I believe this!

HOPE brings LIGHT


 Hope brings Light


Our eyesight is a magnificent tool that is designed by God that beholds various shapes and colors. Over time man has learned how to artistically emphasize the eyes with make-up. Yet, our eyes are so much more. The colors we see through our eyes are brought about by light that is captured by reflectors and sends signals to our brain. Without going into a bunch of scientific braininess about colors, I’ll stop right there; as it is not my niche. However, there is a connection.


Let’s tap into the spiritual aspect of what our spiritual eyes are seeing today. Though physically our eyes can be lovely, what are they seeing in the spiritual realm today? Are you seeing anything? Talk to me about it.


Is there light in the eyes of your heart or darkness? Hope can be seen when faith’s light is ruled by God’s love. The term, “we are only human” can be an excuse to live under cover and without light. Another term is “our sin nature.”


Where are you in His Spirit? What controls your life?


Yet, only a few will be able to see what is going on. 


For a moment, let’s think bread. 


When I take a flour sifter and pour flour into it, I can see the small hard particles of flour that cannot go through the sifter and these are thrown out. Only the smallest of finest refined flour goes into the bowl. Preparing homemade bread is a long process. The yeast must be literally punched and kneaded throughout the whole dough and then, left by itself  to rise. The bread maker walks away to do other things while the dough is slowly rising. A good batch will rise sometimes 3-5 times it’s original size and this takes many hours. No one is in a hurry. There are no shortcuts. The bread maker returns and punches a hole into the dough and kneads it again and allows it to sit alone, sometimes overnight to slowly rise once again. The bread maker can do this two or three times before it is finally ready to be put into the bread pans to bake. 


Are we any different?


This is an illustration of what is happening to the believers today. We are going through a sifter. If you are proud and not humble and still holding unforgiveness you are one of those small hard particles that will be thrown out. True humility accepts the honesty that everyone of us have sinned. Held pride will not only bring illness, but bury all your hope. Pride repeatedly deceives and yields a lifetime of lies.  Once and for all,  clear eyes will admit their lives must be humble and have a dependance upon the insight and strength of the Holy Spirit. This is why The Holy Spirit was given to us. 


“Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:34


“Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” Proverbs 28:13


“As water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.” Proverbs 27:19


Lastly,


“For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Matthew 23:12


Only when a person completely humbles himself, confesses his sins to God and believes that Jesus Christ is the son of God and went to the cross for him to receive forgiveness can a person be set free from the old life.  A new life awaits before you. God never begins something in your life that he doesn’t finish. 


I urge you today, to not wait another moment, as you hear His Spirit calling you today.


Pray with me:


Heavenly Father,


I know I am a sinner.  I want to be set free and released from all of my sins. I want to be born again. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, was crucified upon that cross to take my sins away. I ask that you would forgive my sins. [name them]____.  Fill me up with your Holy Spirit and teach me your ways, make me strong and send me godly people to help me along the way. I ask this in Jesus name amen.


If you have humbled yourself and prayed this prayer, the Bible says you have been born-again and a new creature in Christ. Now, you need to grow and become strong. Buy a good Bible and begin to read the Book of John. Mark the verses that will stand out to you. Pray to God while you read. Find a good Bible believing church and make new friends. They will pray for you and you will draw knowledge and strength from them.  Welcome into the family!

Please pray along with me. Thank you.


Fraud is everywhere. Especially when you go to sleep. Pray with me for our nation. 



 Heavenly Father,


Thank you for giving us your sword. Thank you for giving us a mustard seed of faith, whereas you said we can speak to that mountain in our lives and command it to be removed and cast into the sea.  We speak to this mountain that is looming over our nation’s fraudulent activity in the election process and we speak truth come forth! We speak all fraudulent activity be exposed and stopped!  We speak all those guilty and involved in this theft to come forth and confess! We speak, our President Trump would receive the rightful votes he has endlessly sowed for in this election. We speak his abundant harvest to come forth!  We speak all lies to be cast into the sea! We speak a continual reversing in states that have cheated to be declared victory for President Trump! 


We will keep our eyes upon You O Father and with Your right hand, we will not be shaken.  For no word from You O God ever fails. We have learned you are a good God, you are our refuge in times of trouble and you care for those who trust in you.  We trust in you O Lord. 


Help us O Lord to hold to the hope unswervingly to the faith we profess. You are our hope. For your promises are faithful. Thank you Father. We live by faith, not by sight. We choose to be strong and courageous, we will not be afraid or terrified of those who are violent, those who deceive and scheme to take over our nation, for You O Lord God go with us, You will never leave us or forsake us. You O Father call us your children and your word says we have overcome them because greater is He in us, than He who is in the world. Thank you Father. 


You O Father give our souls rest, our hope comes from You. You are our rock, our salvation; and fortress. We refuse to give into fear or be shaken. Thank you Father for renewing our strength and that we can soar like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. 


Your Son Jesus said “That in Him we may have peace. In the world we will have tribulation. But we can take heart; because you have overcome the world.” We believe this Lord.  We will keep our minds stayed upon you, for you have taught us this is the way to have perfect peace. 


Right now, we cast all anxieties, worries, fears, doubts, worldly thoughts upon You O Lord because you care for us. And, we let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, to which we are called a body. Thank you for your peace Father. 


In Jesus Name, we pray: Amen.

99.44% vs 100% pure love

 


                               “99.44% vs 100% Pure Love”


Country and western music fans will remember how Ronnie Milsap use to sing a song called, “Pure Love.”  It was 99.44% pure love. I know about that song, because I used to sing along with Ronnie before I was born again. 


All the many years that I partied and danced, foolishly ran on the beach with my friends, swam in a spring lake at midnight [gators] and rolled my VW bug 3 times and was thrown out!  I gave no thought of the consequences of my behavior. I did not realize I was sowing seeds that would bring an unwanted harvest.  I kept right on singing Ronnie’s song, “Pure Love.”      


Everyone was looking for love in the 60’s and 70’s. We were vagabonds and didn’t know that true love is pure love. In fact, everyone was looking for love in all the wrong places, for all the wrong reasons for all the wrong things and with all the wrong people! My life was all wrong! How could we understand or see when our eyes were blinded by living in sin?


Stay with me.  


We have a God who can stop a rider from racing its horse at the gate! You can be bucked off a saddle and roped like a calf in record time. He knows exactly what we need to:


  1. Get our attention
  2. Humble ourselves
  3. Seek His truth
  4. Believe
  5. Surrender to His will 


I asked a good friend of mine “Professor Bob Earley,”  if the speed of light can be compared to a nanosecond? He thought for a second and easily said, “it has to do with the measuring and timing. It could be something like measuring 2 to millions.” I further looked it up and read one answer that said, “Light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second and a nanosecond is a billionth of a second so in one nanosecond light travels about 0.3 meters or about 0.98 feet per nanosecond.” I am sure everyone got that!  My mind started to swim. I think in pictures, colors and words, not numbers. But, I felt I was given a little insight to make my point.  


Within one single nanosecond, the marvel of God’s love can implant a miracle seed of hope deep within your heart.  Though your heart may be empty now, it is one step away from grace. Yes, one nanosecond. Miracles begin to happen when we are given a new heart in Christ.  Only when we have been born-again [born from above] do we learn how to love and come face to face with 100% true love. Purer then Ivory soap! Those who have come from good homes have an idea of how to love, but unless you have the Spirit of God working inside of you; you will miss the mark. 


Hang on.


Real Love begins with a seed.

Real Love gives, overlooks and forgives.

Real Love surrenders.

Real Love puts down all pride.

Real Love humbles.

Love sees love in others and cannot wait to say, “I love you!”

Love must love!

And, reproduces more love and is drawn to other “lovers!”

After it’s own kind.

Real love sacrifices,

Resists fear, and yields to faith.

Draws you closer to God.


God’s character is filled with a Holy Love. Everything He does and allows is motivated by His love. While we are here on earth, we look through a sliver of understanding. The many questions of suffering and pain cannot all be answered in this life. We may not see the big picture, but we can be assured; God is always working behind the scenes in more ways we can barely imagine. 


When we love the way we were created, we have the peace of God inside of us. “What! You say? How can anyone have peace the way the world is turned upside down today?” 













Listen closely: Jesus Christ began as a seed implanted by the Holy Spirit, inside of a virgin named Mary. He was the son of God, and was sent so you and I could have forgiveness for our sins. He was the 100% pure love sacrifice.


Jesus came into the world, after His own kind. His Father God. Everything he did and said; came from the instructions of His Father. 


“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” John 5:19 kjv


In the natural, this can be compared to a couple having a baby. Their union, brought the seed and fertilized the egg the woman had and the baby was born after its kind.   The baby will have the attributes of the parents. 


“Jesus answered, Verily verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit; Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:5-7 kjv.


When we hear the word of God, a seed is planted by the Holy Spirit inside of you. Depending on where your heart is, will depend if the seed lands upon good soil. If the seed lands upon good soil, you become pregnant just like Mary became pregnant. The moment [or nanosecond] you believe by faith and accept that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and was sent to be crucified for your sins; you have just been given a supernatural new birth in Christ. A baby has been born! You have been given a free gift by God, called grace. This is after His kind and The Kingdom of God is within you.


For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” Ephesians 2:8 kjv

 

He is with us and within us. 


[This is not to be confused with the futuristic Kingdom of God that will be our home.]


But how? Humble yourself and pray with me.


Heavenly Father,


I know I have sinned. I feel so ashamed. I believe that your Son Jesus went to the cross so I can have forgiveness of my sins. Please forgive me for [name them]:___________________________.  I repent. Set me free from my past. Open my eyes further to your truth. Your word says that I am now a new creature in Christ and that old things are passed away and all things become new. Help me grow and send me your loving believers to be by my side and hold me up. Teach me your ways Lord.  I ask this in the name of Jesus, amen.


All believers have walked through the same door you have just walked through. There are no shortcuts to the new life in Christ. If you have sincerely prayed this prayer from your heart, the Bible says you have been born of the Spirit, like Jesus requested. Now, you must buy a good Bible and ask a friend where a good Bible believing church is located. Do not be surprised if you lose all your worldly friends, you are not the same person you once was.  Join a Bible study to learn the truth and make new friends. You will gain strength through older believers and they will pray for you. Welcome to the Family!
