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.

Love your enemies, Pray for them
The word of God teaches us that he will make the enemies of Christ his footstool. God will take care of his own and if we put our trust in him, we have nothing to fear. Many times we find ourselves being pleased to see our enemies failing but the word of God teaches us that we should not rejoice in their failures. God has a plan for his own and in fulfilling that plan, there will be destruction of our enemies, but he expects us to love our enemies. Vengeance belongs to the Lord and he will repay, but if we rejoice in their failures, then he will not be pleased with our character and what might have been their downfall could be delayed by our own actions.
Proverbs 24:17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
The bible teaches us to love our enemies and pray for them that despitefully use us and persecute us. God expects us to love everyone, even our enemies with a Godly love. This is not an easy thing to do, but when you put it into perspective and realize that you don't have to love what the person is, or what they stand for, but rather love their soul, then it becomes much easier. When we begin to stand upon God's word and pray for our enemies, leaving everything else in God's hands, we will see them brought down. We are to be prayer warriors and let God fight our battles.
Romans 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Proverbs 24:17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

LOVE is a must
I have shared on social media, but haven't posted here to my blog in a little while. This morning I feel the need to share the word about LOVE here as well. Love is so important in our walk with Christ. Without it, we are none of his.
Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
The bible is not just another book laying on a shelf. It is our road map to heaven! How Christ and the apostles lived are examples of how Christ would have us to live. He instructed us to come out from among the world and be not partakers of their sins. When you become a Christian, you come out of the world. People should see a change in your life. Some of that change will be on the outside, because you will no longer want to look like the world, but the true change is on the inside. Once the love of God begins to fill your heart, then you will begin to love those that you never dreamed you would love. Love is the key to it all and as Christ loved us, we must also love others. I have strong political beliefs, but those beliefs do not interfere with my love for the people. I pray harder for those I don't agree with than for those I do, because if God has mercy and they see the light and become saved, then they will be a new creature. They too will begin to love and that love will change them. Those that say they are Christians and don't love are only fooling themselves. Satan has deceived them into believing a LIE.. I encourage you today to truly begin praying for someone that you don't agree with, for someone that has hurt you, for someone that you feel is not deserving. Begin to bring that person into God's remembrance and pray for their soul. The word of God tells us that if we turn a sinner from his path that we cover a multitude of sins. James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Love is the one thing that can truly reach heaven's throne and it is the one thing that will heal a broken heart and put JOY in your SOUL...

We need to pray
We as Christians must try to share the truth with the world, but many have been blinded by the god of this world (Satan) and they will not hear the truth or see it when it is happening right before their eyes. There has been an evil unleashed in our land and it is walking to and fro seeking to destroy our children. Because many have been blinded to the truth, it is up to the Christians to pray for them that the scales may drop from their eyes and their ears may become open to hear the truth. They are not going to seek the truth themselves because they believe in what they are doing because of the blindness and deafness that Satan has brought upon them, but we can intercede for them. We can seek God and he will hear us from heaven and he will open their eyes and ears if we come together and seek his face. Christians praying is the only hope we have, but we must pray. We must intercede.
Acts 28:24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Perfect Hatred
Psalm 139:21-24
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
King David was a man after God's own heart and still he hated. He hated those that hated God, but notice he said with a "perfect hatred". To hate something with a perfect hatred we must be able to understand that the soul within that person still belongs to God. We must understand that even though the flesh is foolish that God loves the soul and we too must love the soul. This is a big misunderstanding among people, they assume if you hate the sin that you hate the person committing the sin and that is not true. I will be the first to admit that it is hard to pray for someone that so blatantly sins against our God. I find it extremely hard to pray for rapists, child molesters, murderers and others like that, but in my heart I know that God is able to save their soul and change them if they truly believe, but the problem is that they don't believe. Jesus said that it is better that a millstone be put about their neck and they be cast into the sea than for them to hurt one of his little ones. There will be a day that he will re-pay them for what they are doing. There will be a day that every knee will bow down and wicked mankind will know that Jesus Christ is Lord of Lord and King of Kings. He warned us that these days would come upon us and he also told us to stand strong and know that the world would hate us just as it hated him.
Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
John 15:18-19
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
