Israel is forever

Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:16, 18-19 KJV

The words of Isaiah gives hope, peace and tranquility to those that tend to worry to much. We serve a Mighty God who is able to do all things. He spoke the world into existence and with his own hands he formed mankind from the dust of the ground. Taking care of a one small nation like Israel is such a small thing for him. With the wave of his hand, he could wipe the enemies of his people from the face of the earth. I am thinking this morning that I may not be able to do much, but I serve a God that can and will. God established the land of Israel and God promised King David that he would forever have a descendent to sit upon the throne. Nothing that mankind does can ever change the word of God.


2 Samual 7:10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,


11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.


12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.


13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.


14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:


15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.


16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.


17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

Promises of Christ

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 KJV

Jesus made a powerful promise when he spoke these words.  He gave the people HOPE to hold on to.  His word is TRUTH and he will come again. He will come in the same manner that the diciples watched him leave. One day soon he will step out on the clouds and he will call his people up to join him.  The world will try to explain it all away, but when millions go missing there will be some left behind that know God's word and they will know what truly happened.  Jesus Christ is getting ready to prepare his army, and friends, I don't know about you, but I am one of his soldiers!  Many confuse the rapture with the second coming of Christ, but they are two separate events.  The rapture is simply the calling away of his people.  He will remove them from the wickedness that is coming upon the world.  

1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 KJV
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 KJV
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Now the second coming is a whole new story.  He will step his feet upon the Mount of Olives and every eye shall see him at the second coming and what is amazing is that he will be bringing that army of raptured saints back with him as soldiers riding upon white horses.  

Revelation 19:13-15 KJV
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

God made us another promise too, that because we keep his word, he will keep us from the tribulation.

Revelation 3:10-11 KJV
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Two powerful promises from Christ.  He will prepare a place for his people and he will keep them from the wickedness that is coming upon the world.  Hold fast to your faith and wait.  Wait upon the Lord!

Come unto me!

I haven't posted anything for quite a while. I have been sharing on facebook where I could reach more people, but I am led to get back to my blog, so this morning I want to share this with you all. If you are seeking for something in your life, let me invite you to come.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 KJV

It seems that all around me I see people searching for answers, seeking peace and finding none. Looking for happiness in a pill, a bottle, and others places, but still finding none. They find a little bit of pleasure in those "highs" but it soon wears off and they are worse than before they started. That will always be the case because the word of God teaches that there is pleasure in sin, but only for a season. Moses knew this long ago.

Hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

The only path that leads to true happiness, true pleasure, true joy and peace is Jesus Christ. Once you have a relationship with Jesus, you realize that you have a peace and contentment in you that money could not buy, drugs could not fill, women or men could not satisfy. If you ever walk away from Christ after having known him, you will always be miserable seeking to get that relationship back again, because Christ is peace and he fills your life with joy unspeakable. He does not expect you to come to him already perfect, he knows all about you. He said come if you labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Many preachers say, come as you are. God knows you are not perfect. When preachers use this phrase, they are not saying it's ok to remain as you are, they are letting you know that God already knows you and he still bids you to come. Once you have a relationship with Christ, the old man will change and you will become a new person.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 

I invite you today to come. Get to know Jesus. Repent of the sin in your life and build a relationship with him. If you are seeking peace, joy and happiness, then come.

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Communion with the Holy Ghost

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14 KJV
The word communion means the interchange or sharing of thoughts or emotions, to fellowship with, to associate with, to communicate with! Do you communicate with the Holy Ghost? Do you listen quietly while he has his say in your life and then just have a wonderful conversation with him. Do you allow him to lead you down that good and straight way when he speaks to your heart? When Jesus went away he promised to send us another comforter. That we would never be alone! What a wonderful thing to know that we are never alone!

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

The Holy Ghost is our comforter and our guide in this world during our walk with Christ. I do not believe, no, I can go so far as to say that I know for a fact that I could not walk this walk alone. The flesh is not strong enough to withstand the devil and what he brings against us. We fight a spiritual battle every day in our walk with Christ and in order to win that battle, we must be the greater warrior. The flesh can't win against the devil, the HOLY GHOST is the warrior on the inside of every child of God that fights these battles for us!!

3 things Paul spoke of  in 2 Corinthians 13:14

     1:  GRACE of Jesus Christ

     2:  LOVE of God the Father

     3:  COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost

Without the GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ we would all be on our way to a devils hell. There would be no HOPE for mankind. For the bible says we are SAVED by GRACE not by WORKS lest any man should boast. Without the LOVE of GOD there would be no GRACE because GOD loved us so much that he was willing to watch his ONLY SON die to provide that GRACE to mankind. Without COMMUNION with the HOLY GHOST we would not know what direction to take in life. We could not make the right choices that would keep us on the straight and narrow path that leads to GOD.  We have to be willing to listen for that STILL SMALL VOICE and HE will tell us what path to take. We cannot say we love Jesus and partake of his GRACE and never take time to have communion with the Holy Ghost. We cannot say we have the Holy Ghost living in us and not know the LOVE OF GOD. These things all go hand in hand with one another. I am so thankful this morning that I know his GRACE, that I know and experience GOD'S LOVE by loving those that are unworthy of my love. You see it's easy to love your own, your family, your friends, but when you learn to love those that don't deserve your love...that is the LOVE OF GOD and the only thing in this life that will ever teach you that kind of LOVE is having COMMUNION with the HOLY GHOST. The bible tells me that HE will teach me all things. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Blessed be his HOLY NAME!

Promises of God

The promises of God are for his children. He tells us in his word that we can ask anything and he will give it to us. We have a power within ourselves that is mighty and able to do so much more that we realize. The HOLY GHOST is God's gift to the church (Christians). We can pray for the sick and see them healed. We can cast out demons, and believe me, demons are real and they do inhabit humans. We shall speak with a heavenly tongue and so much more, but there is something that is required of us! WE MUST BELIEVE AND WE MUST CLEANSE OURSELVES! Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians 7:1 KJV
We often pray for someone and don't see results, but the bible teaches us that we ask and receive not because we ask in unbelief. 
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
We must BELIEVE that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him and keep his commandments.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:12-14

We must believe

WE MUST BELIEVE AND BUILD OUR FAITH!
2 Kings 17:14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God.
Unless we believe in God and trust that the bible is the word of God, we will never clearly see what is happening in the world around us. We must put ourselves in situations that we can hear the true word of God taught. Only by hearing and reading the word of God can our FAITH be increased and we must have faith in order to please God.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:6
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.
The more we build our faith, the more miracles we begin to see take place. Having faith in God, pleases him. When a Father is pleased with his children, he rewards them. We don't see people being healed today simply because we don't truly believe in our hearts that God will heal them. We don't see miracles taking place simply because we don't believe they will take place. Everyone knows that God CAN do anything he chooses, but as saints of God, we MUST BELIEVE THAT HE WILL.
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Eternal Word

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:35 KJV
The word of God is eternal. It never changes. He does what he says he will do. If there is any fault, it is our lack of faith. He miraculously took care of the children of Israel when Moses led them out of Egypt and he will do it again. In fact, has done it many times since then. Christians are grafted in children of Israel. They can stand upon God's word but they must believe. He said you ask and receive not because you ask in unbelief. We must believe that he will step in and bless America again. That he will have mercy. Everybody knows that he can, even the devil believes and trembles. It's time for Christians to join together in prayer and know that he WILL...
God's word is alive and it will keep you. When you're hungry it will feed you, when you're thirsty it will quench that thirst...If you hungry and thirst after righteousness every physical need you have will be met. God knows your needs before you ask him and wants to bless you. It is his good will that you prosper, in fact he told the children of Israel to keep his word and they would prosper. Deuteronomy 29:9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. God has plans for his children and will see those plans through to the end. Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. and my favorite scripture..Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
