“Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17

Why do so many people hear the truth of God and reject Christ? They hear with their ears but they have a hardened heart towards God. Or, they have selective hearing and accept only what is comfortable to their lifestyle.

Most Christians don’t have a clue to what it means to walk by faith. They are enamored with keeping laws and doing works. You will never understand God unless you live by faith and reach out to Him for your every need.

The Word of God is alive and powerful to those who have an open heart to God. It is life changing.

The simplicity of Christ is to walk by faith believing in His promises.

You have to hear and accept the Word of God by faith. There is no compromise with God. He wants your absolute devotion to Him.

The Word of God is life changing to those who walk by the Spirit and reject the laws of religion.

The Spirit of Christ convicts you of the need for God. You see the futility of living for self.

The invitation from religion to accept Christ is burdened with laws and works. It turns most people away from God.

Christ died to abolish all the laws of religion and set you free to worship Him in Spirit and Truth.

The call from Christ is to live by faith trusting in the promises of God. You abandon yourself to God without any limitations. Your purpose is to know Christ and seek out His will for your life.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

Most people can’t resonate to the importance of salvation because death is not near and there is always time to get right with God. And, many think God is someone who lives distant from humanity and can never be approached. Nothing can be further from the truth!

You can experience the reality of Christ today!

Salvation is a living relationship with Christ which culminates in eternal life.

Salvation is allowing God to live in every moment of your life.

Salvation is understanding God wants to be your best friend and confidant. He wants to have conversations with you and live in oneness with you.

Salvation is the desire of God to favor you with your family, your work, and relationship with others.

Salvation is drawing on the resources of Christ to enhance the quality of your life. God wants to fill you with strength, wisdom, joy, and protection. This life is yours for the asking.

Salvation is understanding God knows you better than yourself and is omniscient. It is living under the canopy of Christ.

Salvation is becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus. Your old self dies and you take on a new identity.

Salvation is seeking God out for physical or emotional healing. He brings wholeness and restoration to your life.

Salvation is escaping from the bondage of sin through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Salvation overcomes fear and doubt. You live by faith in the promises of Christ.

Salvation is accepting that God wants to bless the desires of your heart and give you an abundant life.

Salvation is living in the blood of Christ for forgiveness and restoration to God.

Salvation is understanding you will never match up to the standards of God and the righteousness of God comes to you by faith in Christ.

Salvation comes by faith and seeking first the kingdom of God above all else.

You will find the kingdom of God through prayer, nourishing yourself in the Word of God, and living by faith anchored to the Holy Spirit. There are no other caveats.

Christ died to set you free from all religion.

Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.” Amos 3:11

Good Morning,

God spoke this verse to me off and on last night. This is the judgment of God coming on the Body of Christ.

We have been called by God to be a set apart people filled with the renown, praise, and glory of Christ. We have failed God and will suffer for our sins.

No one is immune from the retribution of God.

The leaders in the church will face severe consequences and many churches will crumble in the days ahead. This adversity is coming for these reasons:

We have chosen religion over Christ.

We attempt to appease God through works and faith is merely a symbol.

We have whitewashed the truths of God.

We have acted with impropriety.

We have dismissed the retribution of God.

We have rejected the importance of the Holy Spirit and have minimized the influence of the Spirit in the life of believers.

God wants you and I to repent from our sins and seek out the blood of Christ for cleansing and restoration to God.

There has to be a genuine desire in your heart to change your ways and walk with God by faith anchored to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus loves you!

The first words I heard this morning from the Holy Spirit were “Suffer it to be so now”.

These were the words spoken by Jesus just before He was baptized by John. Jesus was giving God permission to do with Him as He pleased.

Jesus recognized this baptism was a precursor leading to suffering and death.

Jesus was obedient to God.

Jesus was baptized into death so we could live in the righteousness of God.

You and I are baptized into the death of Christ. We die to self to live for Christ.

The significance of baptism is allowing God to have His way with you.

You have to be baptized into Jesus by the Water and the Spirit.

You become a new creature in Christ Jesus dedicated to live for Him.

Jesus is the pathway to the righteousness of God.

The sacrament of baptism empowers you to do the works of Christ.

The life of Jesus offers liberty from religion.

The steps to baptism into the death and resurrected life of Christ:

Confess your sins to Jesus and ask for forgiveness. Ask Jesus to cover you with His blood.

Open your heart up to God with a sincerity to live for Christ. Abandon yourself to God without any preconditions. Make a covenant with Christ to do your very best to live subservient to His will above all else.

This will initiate the process of becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus.

You will be sealed with the Holy Spirit who is the life of Christ. This will entitle you to the strength, wisdom, protection, and joy of Christ. And, the Holy Spirit will begin teaching you the values of Christ while crucifying your old self.

The transformation into a new person will cause you to look seriously at your motives. They have to be pure and in accord with God.

Your responsibility is to pray diligently, fill yourself with the word of Christ, and commit your works each day to God.

God promises you the gift of salvation and the ability to live through Him in all the ups and downs of life.

The value of Christ is He desires to give you a life you can never achieve on your own and bless the deepest desires of your heart.

He lives so you can live!

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4

The word from God today is to live subservient to Christ. This means you diligently seek out His will for your life and are compliant to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

God has been telling me for some time that very few people walk by faith and actually fulfill their needs through the promises of God. They mostly rely on self sufficiency efforts or worldly tactics.

The challenge is to wait on God or get a quick fix. The quick fix brings short lived pleasure but is very temporary. God’s blessings are eternal and satisfy the depth of your soul. The world will fail you but God will give you an abundant and sustaining life.

The other admonition from God is you cannot exploit Him to achieve your personal goals. Your motives with God have to be pure. He wants you to live by faith and seek Him out above all else.

God will never bless you because of your works. You will please the heart of God through your unyielding faith and by giving no power to what you see with your eyes. The righteous shall live by faith.

Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus. This will allow you to live with the values of Christ and avoid the temptations of the world or your fleshly indulgences.

Ask the Holy Spirit to have authority over your thoughts, words, and actions.

Walking with Christ will bring afflictions and suffering. This is because you have been baptized into the death of Christ. God will comfort you through the suffering with His love, patience, and joy. This comfort is not just for you but it is for you to share with others who are suffering.

Most believers find their comfort zone in worshipping God through works and laws. Religion is safe ground. The Living Christ will shatter your belief system and turn your world upside down. Your life will never be the same.

Your purpose with Christ is to know Him intimately and walk by faith trusting in His promises.

This will bring a smile on His face!

“The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.” Numbers 21:8-9

Good Morning,

I have been praying fervently for God to show me how we can escape the pandemic and live a healthy life bringing glory to God.

I asked God yesterday what should be mounted on the top of the pole made by Moses that would heal or protect those from the pandemic. God told me “Loyalty to Christ”.

God told me all those who make a pledge of loyalty to Christ will be saved including family members. This is an unequivocal promise from Christ.

You can claim this promise today by making a commitment to live for Christ by faith and to be obedient to His voice. God wants your loyalty not your works.

For in Him, we live and move and have our being!

“Therefore God has also highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name.” Philippians 2:9

Last night God told me that He is an unconditional God. He is unrestricted and has no boundaries.

He also told me you cannot catalog Him or attempt to define Him systematically. He is everywhere.

God said “Have no other gods before Me. This restricts you from My power and glory. And, it will lead you to destruction.”

He also reminded me about walking with Christ by faith. Most believers have the mistaken idea if you abide by laws and religious requirements God is obligated to bless you. This is a fabrication of Christianity and a distortion of truth.

God will bless those who walk by faith believing in the promises of Christ and are obedient to the voice of Christ.

God told me He is irate over the lack of fear and respect for who He is. He explained His judgments are like a volcano spewing out smoke, fire, and hot lava.

God has burdened me with severe intercession almost to the point of breaking over those who are under a stronghold of Satan. This is an expression of the compassion of God for those who are in bondage to greed or lust (or other addictions) and will do almost anything to fulfill their fleshly or aphrodisiac desires.

There is no one like Christ. Come and worship Him in Spirit and Truth!

He lives so you can live!

“Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god” Psalm 16:4

The word from God today is “Have no other gods before Me.”

This is how God is speaking to me this morning.

I alone am God and I want your absolute devotion. Turn away from aphrodisiac living. It will destroy you.

My words are alive and powerful. Live and breathe through Me. There is no one like Me.

I am a God of compassion and mercy. My ways are perfect.

The times are troubling for all but you will find comfort and strength in Me.

I abhor evil. Walk with Me anchored to My Spirit and reject your fleshly indulgences.

Live with Me by faith believing in My promises. I keep My Word.

Your sanctuary is in the Son of God. I died to give you an abundant life.

Trust Me!

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

The word from God today is “indigenous” which means innate or inborn.

As a believer you were created in the image of God and His nature lives in you through the Holy Spirit. You are a new creature in Christ Jesus.

The hand of God is molding you into a new person reflecting the values of Christ. This process is at work this very moment and will continue throughout your entire life here on earth.

The challenge is how are you going to utilize His workmanship?

Ministry begins with God and is inititated through the Holy Spirit.

Your faith is the catalyst to good works. Faith is believing in the promises of God and acting in obedience to God when He asks you to do a good work.

You don’t have to strive to do the work of God. The Holy Spirit will bring the work to you and anoint you for the task at hand.

Acknowledge the command of God to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is treating others with respect and courtesy.

Walk in oneness with God through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the life of Jesus and He knows exactly how and when to reach out to a non believer.

The non believer does not have the indigenous quality of God and he or she cannot relate to you in spiritual terminology. In this situation, the most effective approach is usually just to be a light for God touching non believers with the fruit of the Spirit.

The most effective and powerful ministry of God takes place through intercession. You stand in the gap for those who do not know Jesus or are living in bondage to sin. You allow God to make intercession through the Holy Spirit dwelling within you. This will produce powerful results bringing down strongholds and setting people free.

The priority for a believer is to learn how to live by faith. You cannot leapfrog into ministry without a solid foundation of faith. Your life has to demonstrate an expression of faith even in the most dire of circumstances.

The works of God are accomplished by the resurrected power of Christ operating within you. Your self initiative is of no value in working for God. These efforts will come across as religion to others and will have lackluster results.

The works of Jesus were completed on the Cross. If you truly want to be a powerful witness for God you have to be willing to die to self and give up the right to your individuality. Your priority above all else is “Not my will but yours be done.”

You will impress God by your faith never by your works!

Good Morning,

Last night I had a vivid dream from God. I saw many lives transformed by the Living Water of Christ. It was amazing to witness the changes in these people. Everything became new. God changed personalities, thinking patterns, emotions, physical bodies, and ambitions for life.

God told me this dynamic transformation can happen to anyone. Jesus said just ask in My name and without doubt and I will immerse you in the Living Water.

There are no religious commitments required to receive this invitation from Christ. Simply ask by faith in the name of Christ.

The Living Water is the life of Christ. Your life will never be the same.
