The Spirit of Christ spoke to me last night about how Jesus embodies the chivalry life. 

Chivalry relates to the medieval values of knights. They exhibited the qualities of courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak. They also esteemed and respected women.

The knights were required to keep the moral standards of their elite title by self discipline. This is virtually impossible for a human being. The Christ follower keeps the values of God by faith and through the transformation of the inner man.

Chivalry sounds like the exact qualities of Jesus. The salvation of Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit fills believers with the character of God.

We need supernatural courage to deal with the trials of life. Jesus never gave up even when facing death.

We must learn to honor and esteem all people in our life regardless of their values. Jesus was humble and cared about others above His own needs. 

The chivalry believer is courteous to others regardless of the ethnic, religious or cultural divisions.

The chivalry believer appropriates the justice of God in all of his dealings in life. He does not abide by the standards of the world.

He is a doer of the word of God and reaches out to those in need. Like the good samaritan he helps the weak and downtrodden. 

He respects and honors women. He responds with chivalry love and gentleness. 

You and I can never be a chivalry individual without the work of Holy Spirit. He dwells in all believers and anoints you with the Spirit and power.

The “born again” believer seeks the will of God and walks in oneness with Jesus by faith.

It is impossible to win in the world which is the antithesis of God. The world offers darkness and death.

Satan controls the world and His purpose is to steal, kill and destroy.

The world cannot make or keep promises for you. 

The world is short lived and Jesus is eternal.

If you are a believer, Satan has assigned demons to harass and deceive you. You are in the middle of an invisible war between light and darkness.

The efficacy of Jesus is a promise to protect you at all times. This doesn’t mean you can avoid trials or calamities but you can be confident Jesus will deliver you from harm.

The protection of Jesus will come by your unyielding faith in the promises of Jesus. The Christ follower walks by faith not by what he sees with his eyes.

The protection of Jesus is nurtured by prayer, reading the Bible and listening for the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is omniscient and sees every detail of your future. He wants to protect you from evil. This happens through the Holy Spirit who is sealed in all believers. It is vital for a believer to submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit. He is your lifeline to the Living Christ.

The Holy Spirit will lead you beside still waters and make you lie down in green pastures. 

Jesus offers supernatural peace which cannot be found in the world. 

Jesus asks you to cease from striving and rest in Him while He fights your battles for you. 

The Living Christ is a reality and desires a personal and symbolic relationship with a believer. He is your only hope for an abundant life on the earth!

Jesus died so all believers can be cleansed of sin by the blood of the Cross and transformed into the character of God. And, the gift of salvation allows a believer to live forever with Jesus.

Unfortunately, many believers have a lackadaisical attitude about the Cross and do not take Jesus seriously. They tend to concentrate on taking from Jesus and doing works instead of walking in oneness with the Living Christ. They become deceived by the demonic spirit of religion and trade the importance of knowing Jesus for keeping laws and doing works.

This is how you can overcome the world and become a member of the powerful and everlasting remnant of Christ. The teaching comes from Zephaniah, Chapter three.

God promises to purify the lips of His people. They will worship the Lord and serve Him in a personal and symbolic relationship. Pray all your words will be edifying to Jesus.

They will bring offerings of joy and praise to God. This takes place when a believer meets the transfigured Christ and sees the futility of trying to live without God.

The Body of Christ will no longer be put to shame for their sins against God. The Lord will remove the arrogant and prideful people and there will be holiness in His kingdom.

God will seek out the meek and humble and they will trust God implicitly.

The remnant will not lie, do wrong or speak deceitful words because they will be yielding to the authority of the Holy Spirit.

God will supply food, necessities and rest for the remnant of Christ.

The remnant will walk with Jesus by faith under the authority of the Holy Spirit.

Now is the time. Come to Jesus and He will make you into a new creature and give you the ability to live in the presence of our powerful God! There is no one like Him!

The Holy Spirit spoke to me last night about the cleansing of the Body of Christ and the coming judgments of Jesus through the wisdom of Zechariah the prophet in Chapter 13.

The judgments of God refer to the span of time from Zechariah to Christ. God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Jesus does not want miscreants; He wants loyal and obedient believers filled with the character of God. Like Sodom and Gomorrah He plans to rid the Body of Christ of the cloud of darkness. 

God has opened a fountain of Living Water through Jesus for the cleansing of sins and destruction of idols. This happened with the death of Jesus on the Cross. He will also banish the corrupt prophets and unclean spirits from the lands. This will probably take place in the Millennium rule of Christ.

There were many false prophets in the time of Zechariah. God told Zechariah that He would destroy and dishonor all of them. Likewise there are many false teachers today and they will also be disposed of by God.

The false prophets will be ashamed of their visions which deceive believers. They will confess they are not of God or anointed by His Spirit. They will admit they are ordinary people who have been wounded by God for their transgressions.

Jesus, the Son of God, was sacrificed by his Father who is His closest companion. 

The judgments of God will be cruel and harsh and no one will be immune. 

The Shepard will be struck down and the sheep will be scattered. The little ones will not be saved from the vengeance of God.

Turn to Jesus. Do not become an endangered species!

The judgments will kill two thirds of the world’s population. The remaining one third will be severely tested with the fires of God. They will be refined like pure silver. They will call upon the name of Jesus and He will say these are My people and the people of God will respond “The Lord is my God”.

Now is the time to get right with God through the blood of Christ. Come to Jesus by faith and walk in oneness with Him under the authority of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me last night about the wasteland of Christianity. This teaching comes from Micah chapter three.

This is not a pretty picture for the future of Christianity. This is happening because of corrupt leaders who are causing believers to stray away from the values of Jesus.

There is a lack of seeking the justice of God. The leaders view goodness as doing works and camouflage evil as turning away from religion.

The nemesis is religion which wants to harness a believer into laws, works and religious control.

The truths of God have been perverted by leaders who want to satisfy their own desires. They mostly operate with impure motives.

The crux of this conflict relates to the purpose of Jesus in the life of a believer. The church is not the focal point in the heart of God.

Jesus wants to build a personal and symbiotic relationship with a believer. Jesus wants a believer to walk by faith in oneness with Him. Jesus wants a believer to let go of worldly ties and seek His will above all else. Jesus wants believers to listen for His voice and respond with complicity to His requests. 

Jesus thinks and acts different than a human being. He wants to teach you His values and how to live under the authority of the Holy Spirit. This is another conflict with Christianity. The leaders want to minimize the influence of the Holy Spirit and bring you under the control of religion. The Holy Spirit is a threat because He replaces the need for teachers in the church and always gives glory and praise to Jesus.

Jesus hates the whitewashing of the truths of God in the Body of Christ. This happens to make Christianity more welcoming and consistent with the changing moral and cultural views of society. God never changes and His word cannot be amended.

The Spirit of God is at work to dishevel and bring terrifyingly judgment upon the false leaders and prophets in the Church. They shall live in darkness without vision. They will be ashamed for they will not hear from God.

Christianity has a hand out for money. Many times this money is spent for the benefit of the leaders and illegitimate causes. Jesus abhors the pressure put upon believers to give and the selfish motives concerning the handling of money. 

Christianity promotes the importance of a church and not the Living Christ. They claim God only works through a church organization. This is an aberration. Jesus did not work through the religious establishment while on earth. He confronted the leaders over their hypocrisy and unclean motives.

Turing ashes into beauty!

The churches promote peace while God speaks anarchy and retribution.

The future of Christianity is a heap of ruins and will be replaced by the authenticity of Christ alive in the remnant of a New Testament church.

The Holy Spirit spoke the words in the title of this blog to me last night.

The starting point in a relationship with Jesus is acknowledging your standing with Him.

Jesus is perfect. He has no ego. He is the only person in the history of mankind that perfectly obeyed all the Ten Commandments.

As human beings we are self driven people who think first about our needs and desires. We can never match up to the standards of God.

The blood of Christ is your only hope to live a life pleasing to Jesus. Ask Jesus every day to cover you with His blood and reveal any darkness blocking you from the fullness of His life.

Last night God also brought up these words of Jesus; “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Jesus fasted forty days in the wilderness and was hungry. He was tempted by Satan to turn rocks into bread. 

The lesson in this story is to pray for your needs but learn to wait upon Jesus for His perfect timing and response to your prayer. Jesus does not think or act like you so He might meet your needs in an unworldly fashion. 

The mystery hidden in God for many years is all things were created through Christ Jesus. He is the mirror image of God. No one can come to God except through Jesus.

All the principalities and powers in the heavenly places understand the eternal purpose of Jesus. He is above all things and can destroy evil in a split second. 

The name of Jesus will terrify Satan and his legion of demons and cause them to flee from a believer. Do not be afraid to speak directly to Satan with the words of Jesus.

Jesus is very approachable. He wants to have a personal and symbolic relationship with a believer. Come to Jesus by faith. The Cross gives you boldness and access to Jesus with confidence in His promises.

Jesus offers supernatural strength to all believers to meet every challenge in life. This is a free gift administered by the Holy Spirit. Ask and you shall receive!

The Holy Spirit is the life of Jesus and is sealed in all believers. Learn to develop a consciousness with the Spirit and submit to His authority. This will bring the reality of the Living Christ into every moment of your life. He lives so you can live.

Love is the defining element in a relationship with Jesus. The love for Jesus is not an emotion; it is a genuine desire to be obedient to God and fulfill His mission in your life.

As a believer you are rooted and grounded in the unconditional love of Jesus. This love is generous and protective. The love of Jesus surpasses all knowledge and fills you with the fullness of God.

Fellowship with Jesus is about prayer, reading the Bible, and listening for His voice. Walk by faith believing in the promises of God and not what you see with your eyes. God calls things that do not exist as if they did.

This promise is emblematic of the love of Jesus for His people.

Now to Jesus who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. 

Jesus saw the depravity in our country and the rejection of His teachings but He chose to help His people because He is a loving and compassionate God.

Jesus heard the prayers of the remnant in the Body of Christ and released His power to elect Donald Trump. God wanted light to overcome darkness. 

This election was about biblical morality and the values of Jesus. The world creates a morality based on the laws of the land and the desires of the people. The culture today does not want any laws to govern their sexual desires.

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.

Donald Trump is far from perfect but He recognizes his imperfections and need for Jesus. He prays to our awesome God and wants the very best for the USA.

Jesus could have allowed our country to sink lower into the sewer or He could have unleashed severe judgments upon all humanity but He is giving our country a wake up call to return to Jesus.

America can become great again through the prayers of the people and the leaders who yield to the Holy Spirit in ruling our country.

 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.

The calling from Jesus is for all believers to repent from their sins and accept they are far from perfect in the eyes of Jesus. We must come to Jesus with a contrite heart and be open to the conviction and correction of the Holy Spirit. There is no place for complacency, a prideful or haughty attitude, or hypocrisy in the heart of a believer.

The aftermath of this is election is not about a conflict between Republicans and Democrats. The future is about defeating Satan through prayers and intercession. As believers, we must put on the full armor of God and stand in the gap for our country and the values of Christ.

Satan has not conceded this election. He is scheming with evil tactics to discredit the new government and to steal, kill and destroy believers. He wants upheaval and chaos.

The mission of the church is to vigilantly pray, live in the Word and seek the counsel of God. We must submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit and walk in oneness with Jesus.

There will be false teachers in the days ahead. They will attempt to destroy the influence of Jesus through powerful signs and actions. Test every spirit and ask the Holy Spirit to identify all false spirits. 

The hope for believers is to live under the power and protection of the almighty Christ Jesus!

You can be a facsimile (or perfect reproduction) of the Living Christ walking by faith believing in the promises of Jesus and zealously seeking His will for your life.

Success does not happen by chance. 

Your life is defined by the hand of God. He determines your wealth and future. Jesus maintains your bank account and personal possessions as He desires. 

The lines have been drawn in pleasant places for the Christ follower and he has a bright future.

You may experience calamities and trials but God is resilient and keeps His promises. He can turn ashes into beauty in a split second. 

The favor of Christ comes to those who seek the will of God above all else and walk by faith believing in the promises of Jesus. 

As a believer, demonstrate your love for Jesus by getting to know Him personally and walking in oneness with Him. This requires prayer, reading the Bible and listening for His voice. 

Jesus wants to have a personal and symbiotic relationship with a believer. This is built by faith not religion.

You cannot walk with Jesus unless you give the Holy Spirit authority over your life. The Holy Spirit is the life of Christ and is sealed in all believers. The Holy Spirit convicts a believer of sin, righteousness and judgment. He will draw the lines around your life.

The priority of a relationship with Jesus is to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then He will add the other things to your life. Your motives have to be pure and compatible with Jesus.

A symbiotic relationship between Jesus and a believer is mutually beneficial for both parties. The Christ follower does the works of Jesus and is blessed by the goodness of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit spoke the word anathema to me today referring to what is intensely disliked by Jesus. The Bible teaches Jesus hates sin.

Jesus is a very jealous God. The jealousy of Jesus is like a consuming fire. Jesus is jealous of anything that stands between Him and a human being. He hates the worship of idols and false gods.

Jesus is in charge of a war between light and darkness. Satan and his legion of demons want to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus wants to protect believers from the threats of Satan. You cannot win this war on your own.

Jesus looks at a human being and sees all his sins. Nothing is hidden from His eyes. Jesus hates the sin but He is filled with unconditional love for a believer.

Jesus sacrificed His life for all the sins of humanity. The blood of Jesus is a perfect atonement for all sin and restores a believer to God. Jesus desires to forgive your sins but at the same time He wants a believer to turn away from darkness and the enticements of Satan. Like Jesus told the adulterer “Go and sin no more”.

Jesus is omniscient and sees every detail in your future. And, He knows you better than you know yourself. He knows all your vulnerabilities and wants to protect you. 

The work of the Cross is very powerful and transforming in the life of a believer. This work cannot be successful without your total abandonment to Jesus and genuine desire to seek His will for your life.

This requires building a personal and symbolic relationship with Jesus through prayer, reading the Bible and listening for His voice.

The Living Christ wants to be present in all the moments of your life.

You can walk in oneness with Jesus by submitting to the authority of the Holy Spirit who is the life of Christ. Learn to live in consciousness with the Spirit and be open to His voice. This will protect you against the devious works of Satan.

Come to Jesus with a contrite heart confessing your sins and seeking repentance.

Jesus wants to give you an awesome life and supernatural protection. He can do for you what you can never do for yourself!

It is very easy for Christ followers to get into trouble with Jesus.

We start off the day with prayer and commit our day to Jesus.

Then a desire comes along or a difficult challenge and we allow our emotions and human desires to influence our thoughts and actions.

The biggest blind spot is thinking you can navigate through life on your own.

Give the Holy Spirit authority over your life. This decision is giving up your independence and control and allowing Jesus to direct your pathway.

Pray during the day while driving in your car or in the free moments of life.

Listen for the voice of God. You have the mind of Christ and He desires to speak with you. 

Stay anchored with God through the Holy Spirit and inquire of Him concerning important decisions. 

What seems like a no brainer can lead to misery and trouble without checking in with Jesus. He is omniscient and sees every detail of your future. It is foolish and dangerous to venture out on your own in this world of darkness.

Jesus controls the universe. The goal is to be operating under His supervision and protection.

Develop a habit of yielding even the routine tasks of life to the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus wants to bring order to your day and His quintessential quality in all your activities.

Develop a personal and symbolic relationship with Jesus through prayer and reading the Bible. Get to know Him and listen for his voice.

At times, we all stumble but God’s love is redeeming and merciful. Jesus is quick to forgive and cover you with His blood. 

Jesus wants the very best for you!
