Good Morning everyone Welcome to The Church Ministries 82nd Sunday Service, God bless you all and welcome to all the visitors and the return visitors, our loving congregation and to all the people of the world. We are a world assembly, a gathering of believers to praise and worship the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, because the LORD has appointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to announce that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the LORD's favor has come, and with it, the day of God's anger against their enemies. (Isa. 61:1-2) What a wonderful God we all have, Wednesday I was released from the stress of being out on the streets, I received a phone call the other day and many of the people I have been in prayer with and praying for all know that I am under the greatest spiritual warfare that I have ever seen and witnessed, I had a real estate woman that the Lord had me meet in the doctors office, and yes I still am suffering from an unknown affliction, that has to have come right from Satan, because know one can figure anything out, or even give me a diagnosis, and I have been suffering badly and I no it is somewhat like a thorn in the flesh like the Apostle Paul, of course I am nowhere near his intelligence and spiritual power, not to say in the future that would be the goal, but we both race to win, and we both do want the mind of Christ, and we both know to die is to gain, to be with the Lord, but we both want to help the world and all of mankind to preach the good news to everyone. My thorn in the flesh is in my mouth, and of course I cannot preach or sing or play any of my instruments, I still play a bit of piano because I can sit down and when people come into my buddies church and it is still early they let me stretch out my fingers, I have lost about 30 pounds, because I have been drinking my food, and have had a temperature and swollen glands, plus severe pain in my gums and jaws, but I am still alive to bring good tidings and love peace and hope and of course prayer to everyone and to all the nations, I have never been a man to boast, but when I received this phone call and today it is almost confirmed that I do have a place to go all because of the contact of this real estate woman, I didn’t think she wanted to help me, because as soon as we got together, something happened to one of her sisters, her older one, and she had to go into the hospital to take the fluid out of her lungs, but when she got there it turned out to be blood, and they had to do emergency surgery with her heart, then she was in ICU for days and my real estate woman called me for prayer, it was awful hard on her, she realized that the devil is out to kill me and many other people have had strange things happen to them to keep them away from me, which is part of the enemy’s scheme. Then her sister died, and with all the arrangements with the funeral and her work with other clients, we lost all the deals that were set before us, then we attempted to communicate again, and her younger sister this time in Oklahoma was in ICU, I figured she would have nothing to do with me, about a week ago they pulled a tumor out of her sister the size of a melon, they said it was the biggest they have ever saw, they said something about placing it above the doctors shoulder to show the size of the thing, anyway this younger sister is going to be all right, to make a long story short, she found me a house almost on the beach, you can here the ocean and everything is all set up to see the place on Wednesday and have a negotiation about the price, it is quite a long story it is only going to be for a short time and it is only going to be for rent, but as the story goes, most everyone has seen my house and the church office and the view and backyard, and it seems I was sweating the whole situation because, they just up and sold my place and in the condition I have been in the past 19 months, it has been very hard for me to even pack, and to deal with this whole situation physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially. I have been in dreadful pain, plus my doctor also was taken out of the loop for more than week and I haven’t had a regular appointment because she had her retina get detached all of a sudden, then she had to fly back and forth to Honolulu, because they were going to do a second operation, at that time everyone across the world has been praying for her and the sister, so everyone now is healing up and by the middle of this month everything should be all right all around, I just wanted to say God does have a plan and here I was in tears daily even though I as a preacher should have perfect faith, but there were times- “I want to be honest”, I was afraid, my prayers were not like they should have been, and or as long, and I just was broken hearted over and over, with no chance to heal, the attacks just kept coming, you see I care about the people around me, and on all the prayer networks and the prayer ministry of the church and all these evil effects were happening to people all around me, and I was worried about them, and I started to blame myself for these occurrences, all I could do was pray harder and send out more words of Christ and biblical scripture which pertained to the suffering requests that was involved. Then I started to be attacked to worry about myself and the church and the congregation how am I going to keep in contact with everyone sleeping in my truck that I cannot even drive anymore. But God has a plan and I praise the Lord for His goodness and the blessings he has shared with me my whole life, I felt Jesus Wednesday, I heard the voice of God, an I could feel the presence of the angels, so Wednesday I have had a good day, the best I have had in years, so let us all praise the Lord!! I am still here to pray with you and for all your needs, I just wanted to share with everyone that we do have a freedom and liberty that is found in our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a new day and if we just believe and trust and have faith in our Lord Jesus, we shall be healed of anything, and be free, because the truth shall make us all free, and all things do work out to those who love God.
Dear Heavenly Father, Please help this church, we are all here to worship You and give You praise. Lord many things are happening to us and we need Your comfort we need Your love and Your blessings. We need You to help us through all our troubles. We want to get close to You and love You for You are our God. We can’t explain the many things that are happening all around us, people are getting hurt and people are suffering, please be with us, please hold us in Your loving arms. Please have the Holy Spirit visit us Lord, please we need the anointing of peace upon us all. Please Father, have our Jesus join us in Spirit, please grant the church a way of truth and a way of prosperity and let us all grow together this day. Please help us to all produce good and wonderful fruit within us all. We all need You Lord, we need Your presence, please bring us all to victory, please carry us to life and happiness, In Jesus name, Amen
Prayers that move mountains are prayers of fruitfulness of Gods Kingdom. Jesus says the illustration to prove something impossible can be done because God can do anything. You must be a believer that holds no grudges, we should not be selfish in any of our prayers and our prayers should benefit the Kingdom of God. To pray the righteous way, you must need faith in God, not for the faith of the thing you are praying for. Think if all your energy is focused on requests, you will end up with nothing if you do not get an answer. I guess we must pray for Gods will to be done, we have to analyze ourselves, and we want the Kingdom to advance, not just for us. Most of my prayers are for healing of others and of course which way do I go to set up the new church office? I can continue to pray for so many more, I do pray for peace for myself so I can write the prayers which if I am under confusion and stress how can I write a good hearted warming prayer? In the first place, the devil wants me to loose my faith so the prayer ministry in the first place does not function and how we have branched out to the world missions to become even larger, we are fighting against evil and at the same time trying to do a blessing for the Kingdom.
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 11:22-24
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Rom 12:3
We all have to have a healthy opinion of ourselves. We cannot go too far to fall into the world’s possessions and accomplishments. We are being measured of success in Gods eyes, not the worlds, we know we are not capable of much without our true identity in Christ, but through Christ we have to position in our minds that we are loving, honest, Christian, able to help anyone in need.
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matt. 17:20
When Jesus says about our faith being as tiny as a little seed and with His help we can move mountains, remember we are nothing without Him, but the faith in God we all possess can and will do anything impossible if we have the relationship and fellowship with The Father. The mountains moving are a good illustration of doing the impossible!
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen 1:27
God made man and women in His own image; nothing is different with either sex. Each sex is the same. This is Gods craftsmanship. Neither sex is exalted nor is neither depreciated. Gods creation of, man and woman is the glory of the creation.
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (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. Rom. 4:16-17
God made a promise or a covenant with Abraham, that He would be the Father of many nations. Remember, Abraham believed God could bring back the dead and that God can create anything. So, Jesus was positioned in the family line so truly the whole world is blessed by the family of God.
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:18-24
We understand that Abraham was right with God for what his actions were, because he believed God. Remember we are not all justified by what we do in any sense. True faith naturally, forms into good deeds but our deeds do not justify us. Remember faith brings us salvation along with grace, but remember that our true obedience proves our faith is for real.
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Gal. 3:5-9
In context but just wishing the scripture we know that Abraham’s righteousness was formulated out of his faith, so we are standing on a solid foundation of Abrahams faith through the promised blessing to us all. It is all about faith, not the law! Abraham was saved by his faith, so we are descendants of the combination of our Christian beliefs and Abrahams blessing and comforting promises and heritage.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. Heb.11:3-11
Here as we are on the subject of faith, we all need faith to please God. Abraham had great faith, so Abraham became Gods friend. We have to go beyond the realm of just believing in God, we know that evil demons believe in God. You see God wants a relationship with us. He just does not want us to just acknowledge them and the only way we can establish that relationship is through faith, so without faith how can you have fellowship and relationship. People walk the planet today and cannot even explain what faith really is. Remember Romans 10:17 some ask the question, is it logical or illogical. We need faith to gain the power He wants us to have. Without faith we are lost in a world of good vs. evil and we would be totally helpless. It is the old story trying to row a boat upstream without oars or they say a paddle. We understand we have the natural realm and the supernatural. The supernatural are the mysteries of God. Faith is a reality otherwise it would not exist; faith and trust go hand in hand. We use our analytical minds to figure certain things out, but with faith we can explain the unexplainable works and power of God. Without faith we would not even have Christianity. And we must remember the scripture about faith.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Rom 10:17
Well Church I am sorry I am a sinner. I have not kept up my relationship to our Father God, who created all of us. Ever since this affliction came about I would say my relationship with God has not been the best, otherwise I would be healed. It took a day like today to really understand that we all must have fellowship with The Lord. He made Adam and Eve to have fellowship and a loving relationship and Satan destroyed that . Then God sent His Son down to the earth to bridge the gap between us and must I say all of mankind. Jesus paved the way and took our transgressions out of the way. He came here to suffer for us, for the sins of the world, who am I , chief of sinners, they whipped His body so brutally, that the skin and flesh was ripped off His body and then whipped again over the same wounds, the pain was so incredible that most men should have died on the spot, they would have never even made it to the cross. So when we read in 1Pet 2:24 Isa 53:4-5, Matt 8:17 all of these scriptures run together for our healing and I have been writing them to so many in prayers, but I must speak them into existence and here I am admitting that I Paul, am living in fear, I understand that I have been continually surrounded by evil. But these scriptures are the major ones for ll our healing all we have to do is say these aloud with many others and we will be healed, just think of the suffering Jesus went through just for our healing alone, otherwise the scriptures would not even be in the bible, and just think how they have the different views and how prophecy met the actual meaning in the book of Matthew chapter 8, and just the way the stripes are spelled out, we are healed so by His pain, our pain should not exist, if we have faith in our own healing then Jesus did not suffer in vain. If we don’t claim that we are healed through all of what Christ went through, and we are still suffering, that tells us we are doing something wrong, either our faith is still not strong enough or we still are carrying a non-forgiveness attitude, or the Lord Himself has his own plan for the when and how we do get healed. Faith talks remember and faith in action can move a mountain.
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isa 53:2-5
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Matt. 8:17
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. 1Pet 2:24
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10
I am not putting up a strong enough fight with the devil, or I am not close enough to God, or like I have said before maybe it is none of these reasons. In John 10:10 we all know how it reads above, but Jesus came to give us life and to have the blessings and to have an abundance of good fortune, the Father wanted us to have. God just didn’t want us all to become a Christian and then just suffer and be in pain and be under spiritual warfare, or persecution day after day, God never wants that for anyone, I have been testing myself of all my sins that is why maybe there is a sin I just don’t know anything about or it could be something with a generation curse but most of the generational curses do not hold up to scripture. But then again there might be a crack open somewhere, that is why I call myself the chief of sinners, or maybe it could be like the thorn in the flesh like I spoke about last week, and how the Lord just said to the Paul the Apostle my grace is sufficient for you, and I think Paul’s thorn was his pride when he did go to the third heaven and actually saw paradise, or it could be like Jacob that he was fighting the angel and he would not stop or let go until he was blessed and Jacob walked with a limp for the rest of his life, over the whole ordeal. All I do want to share is I have the healing scriptures on one of the main pages I suggest that we all copy them and just repeat them over and over. I used to send then out in the very beginning to anyone that was suffering but for some reason maybe it was Satan that made me think they just were not of any value, but now that I look back people were getting healed, and one of my closest friends Scott and Eileen used them and I can not boast but as they wrote back several times it did help Eileen with her cancer and she did go into remission, plus she changed her diet and other things plus they both were great people of faith. It is all up to the Lord. It is written in the word and we should use the written word and speak the healing into existence.
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Col. 2:14-17
Jesus suffered the beatings and humiliation for our healing, He was then nailed to the cross Col: 2:14-17 and that was for our salvation and our eternal life. Jesus went through so much for you and I. There are many times I forget to thank Him for the little things and I have been wallowing in self pity and fear. And I know there maybe a few just like me, so if this sermon helps just one person , the happiness and tears would roll down my face of intense joy that is the way that I am. I have also failed to become closer to God, I am not thinking on the positive, we all need to stay on the positive, and above all else we should never even speak the negative, then again I have been with other Christians and they would not even listen to a negative story about me having to move or the pain I am in, here we are as bothers and sisters and we are supposed to at lest listen to our brothers and sisters we have to here what is going on so we no what to say and what not to say , sometimes Christians need other Christians just to talk to let it all out and many be shed a tear, some of us need that from time to time, I admit I do, we are not all supermen, we are still in the flesh. Not to get off the subject, we all need to be intimate with God, and our relationship should be a two sided love. Here I am not focusing on Gods goodness enough, but complaining of the trials and tests and all the pain that is upon me. I should be seeking the Lord as it is written in Deut 4:29 I should be wanting to know Him better and here I am praying all over the world, but I am not giving God the quality time and I know God is not angry with me, He is hurt, just like you and I. God created us, and it is a two way relationship. But the mornings have gotten very hard on me, I wake up, and here comes the torment, I try each day to stick to the word, but I am not claiming or speaking out loud Gods promises and I should be using the word to fight the fear and pain and all the mountains that Satan has built for me to worry even more. At one time I was a strong Christian Brother, but I have not been doing my part. I should be healed, God is still waiting for me to turn around and completely repent to Him and speak the words of His divine book. Maybe that is what must be done. He did not have the bible written for nothing.
Well know more bible studies or conferences
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3John 1:2
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Tim 2:15
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Deut 4:29
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall
not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:22-26
We are to have faith in Mark 11:22-26 it explains that we can move mountains if we do not doubt it shall be done. Jesus used this illustration of something so large can be done if we have the strength of faith and then next we talk about believing when we pray we should believe that we have already received what we asked for and we shall receive it. You and I must be closer to God, we cannot let the devil influence our minds and the more that I fear, it brings the devil in closer to all my situations and just the smallest amount of fear can kill our faith. You see, it is faith that brings us closer to God, faith gets His attention and then His power comes to us when we need or ask for it. In James 4:7-8 if we submit to God, the devil has to flee.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. James 4:7-8
I am living in a world of worry and fear, everywhere I look there is more fear and worry. I look around the church office with no where to go and I have a destination but I am not sure if that is what God wants. I am back in the same situation father away from town, this place that I can move into is up for sale too, and it could be sold the day after I move everything, I mean I don’t believe that is going to happen but the doors of communication have to be open between myself and God, He has to help me with this one, He can’t be silent with me, and I went through the psalms when David was praying to the Lord and God was silent. He is not talking to me as usual because I am not living in faith, but in fear. So I submit to God to get Satan and his lies off my back, but I am not falling into the relationship because God will not draw near to me if I am full of fear and worry, even though it is caused by evil to stop this Church and prayer ministry. God has been right with me and I know He loves me.
You see, God wants us healed, healthy and to have feelings of joy and to be blessed by His blessings, but you see the blessings of God have to come from us which everyone knows what I am trying to say, which may be hard to explain, but I believe you all understand we have to have the complete love and affection towards God and normally I do, but how do I get out of this mess, I need Gods favor and His love, and most of all His understanding. God wants to bless us, but will God bless us if we are so caught up in the world and not Him. God does not give blessings to people that ignore Him or do not seek His fellowship, no matter what happens in our lives , we still must maintain our relationship with God. We cannot be like the ones that are just seeking blessings. I usually feel that I need to just be with God and seek Him for real not for wanting anything and all of that comes natural, but if I am getting hit in the head with a hammer every day how can I have any logical reasoning, I am hurt with not enough time to heal. When I was a boy I just loved God, just like I do now, out of pure motives. I do not seek after blessings, I just want the devil off my back so I can love God freely and not having the spirit of fear blocking our communication and our genuine love for each other.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2Tim.1:7
So you must never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don't be ashamed of me, either, even though I'm in prison for Christ. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the proclamation of the Good News. It is God who saved us and chose us to live a holy life. He did this not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan long before the world began--to show his love and kindness to us through Christ Jesus. And now he has made all of this plain to us by the coming of Christ Jesus, our Savior, who broke the power of death and showed us the way to everlasting life through the Good News. And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of this Good News. And that is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return. Hold on to the pattern of right teaching you learned from me. And remember to live in the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus. With the help of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard what has been entrusted to you. 2Tim 1:8-14 NLT
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Heb. 6:10-15
I used to pray more, and kneel in front of the alter. I still do but the major thing is begging God to take away the fear and the pain. I do pray for so many others, but my whole concentration has been on fear and worry and pain. We cannot have a relationship and fellowship without faith. I know Satan is out to destroy my faith and how can I please God without it (Heb 11:6). We still must be obedient and this is a two sided roadway. We have to pursue the relationship, we still have that free will, God will not force us to have a relationship with Him. We are given a choice to seek The Lord. I do choose with all my might and soul and strength and mind to seek His fellowship and His love and His whole being.
As You know that I have been suffering terribly as every wall that exists, will and is falling in on me, the only way is that we speak Gods word because all of the word is the promises of God. They are fact and they are truth. We must follow the teachings of being strong and courageous. Remember our food is the word and we can fast and go without food, but we cannot go with out the word of God. I am using an oxymoron because both the Word of God is the actual words of the book, our roadmap, also our food is our Lord Jesus plus we have the gift of Gods Spirit.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matt. 4:4
The words we must repeat and talk into being just like the words Joshua wrote Josh 1:8 we must continually meditate on Gods word. He says we must study this book of instruction continually. We have to meditate on the word day and night, so we must be sure to follow and obey all the words written in the book of life, also Jesus is the word, so we must meditate, study and obey our Lord Jesus because He too, is the word. By the end of this sermon, everyone that reads and does what the book of life tells us some of us will be healed. Some today and some a few days or months will be healed all according to our faith. I am writing these words today to give mankind direction to travel the roadmap when you are at a place in your life where you do not know and you come up to a crossroad and you do not know which way you must turn, you have to pull out the road map and find out where you are and then find the place or where you are going, we are all looking to be healed in some instance or meaning, it may be physical, emotional, spiritual or many of the other worldly desires as financial. We can all accomplish our travels of the road of life.
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:7-9
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:1-3
We have to follow the map, the bible is our only source of truth. This way the road leads us all to heaven to that big mansion in the third heaven; technically it is supposed to be as large as the moon in actuality. Specifically, we all need to meet there and be amongst friends and the light of God Himself will be there with us. Joshua 1:7-9 as we study the word and the direction of the words Joshua lifts us as the scripture tells us that we will prosper and succeed in all that we do, but again we are on the heavenly plan not the earthly plan. Remember, people think that prosperity and success come from having power with ultimate connections and this great desire to get ahead, but my brothers and sisters we cannot follow the word of the world, we are on that spiritual heavenly plane so even though Joshua wrote most of the book he was inspired by the Lord to put these words into effect and be written on a piece of parchment. God told Joshua to be strong and courageous because the life that is set before you will not be easy, we are also to obey Gods laws and constantly read study, meditate, upon this great book of all instruction which as we all know is God’s word. We need to speak the words into being and follow Gods word which He gave to Joshua to have the success you will need. Remember, you will not have success in the standards of the world, but you will have great success in the value and eyes of God which is far more important then the standards of the world.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.John 14:27
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:18-24
We know now that everyone has when they are born the same measure of faith. I guess it is how we use our faith in the areas of life as we venture on through the valleys and the mountain tops. We have all came across different roads have different personalities, but how do we explain to everyone that we with Gods help and the word can speak all our problems away. Today I want to re-program everyone’s heart. That there is nothing that we cannot do with the help of God, Christ, the Holy Spirit and of course, the word. We have to get into our minds that faith talks, it takes away the attacks the illusions that Satan makes up. We have to understand Satan can only copy, he cannot create. He can only stir up things in your mind that are already there. You may have a guilt complex or something bothering you from the past, or something that you have seen on TV or some other problem. That goes along with the rest of his demons. We have to utilize the word the promises of God, to fight any worry, affliction, fear or any burden. We know that God will supply all our needs Phil 4:19. We can do all things through Christ Phil 4:13 and Phil. 1-6. Just with these three scriptures we can fight and communicate with our bodies and mind. I already said faith talks, well faith also speaks so we have to use the word to speak to the problem and combined with our faith and the word we can fight and get rid of anything, even a mountain of problems that Satan has made up in our minds.
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Phil 4:13
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Phil 1:6

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil 2:9-11
All scripture that has been used this week is in the King James mode, except otherwise noted.
