Exiting the cul de sac of life through Jesus!

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

The cul de sac is a dead end. God is endless!

At this time God is irate over the immoral conditions of society and the lack of respect for Him.

This is why we are living in a pandemic.

The miracle of God is to save lives. And, this can happen to you today. Salvation is living with God in all the moments of life. Christ is a living reality.

You can have an embracing and vibrant relationship with God today. He is a very approachable God.

God is not an esoteric figure living in the Bible. He is alive and wants to meet you today at your point of need.

God is the source of strength, healing, joy, wisdom, and protection.

God wants to give you a life you cannot achieve on your own.

Christ keeps His promises. You will never find this guarantee in the world.

Come to Christ today and He will share His life with you.

Open your heart up to God seeking His will for your life.

Abandon yourself to God without limitations.

Walk by faith trusting in the promises of God.

Pray for the blood of Christ to cover you.

Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life.

Give praise and thanksgiving to God.

No one can compare to God. He is a living reality!

The perfect place to be with Christ!

“I desire to do your will, my God;
your law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:8

David was desperate when he wrote this Psalm. His life was in turmoil and God seemed to be slow to respond.

David acknowledged his sins were overbearing.

David reached out to God with the words above. In the depth of David’s heart he desired to do the will of God and the laws of God were alive in his heart.

David was in the perfect place with God.

How can you and I get to this place?

Open your heart up to God seeking His will for your life.

Walk by faith trusting in the promises of God.

Ask the Holy Spirit to embed the truths of Christ into your heart.

Pray for the blood of Christ to cover you.

Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life.

Give praise and thanksgiving to God.

He is a resplendent God! Nothing is impossible for Christ.

The handiwork of Christ!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

Today God has been speaking to me about a blacksmith. This craftsman forges metals into strong vessels.

God is using the analogy of a blacksmith to help us understand His character.

God creates life similar to forging precious metals into a substance stronger than steel.

The handiwork of Christ has many advantages for a believer. The strength of Christ cannot be found in the world. It comes from Heaven.

Some important attributes about the strength of Christ:

It is eternal.

It is resistant to change.

It is unflappable.

It lasts forever.

It is resolute.

It is infallible.

It is resilient.

The question is how can the handiwork of God transcend into the reality of your life?

The response is to ask Christ by faith (without doubt) and He will fill you with His strength.

Most believers waiver between faith and fear.

If you are anchored to God through the Holy Spirit, the strength of Christ will cause you to be unmovable. And, it will give you peace and joy. This miracle of God will happen regardless of the circumstances in life.

The strength of Christ is oblivious to the worries of life. You are anchored to the indestructible rock of Christ!

The bottom line with Christ?

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105

Last night feeling some frustration over life, I asked God what is the real reason to seek Him out? This was His answer.

He helps us to navigate through life and is a flashlight to see through the darkness.

The world is filled with evil and temptations. If you seek out God He will be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway.

He desires to help you navigate through life with all the twists and turns and provides a buttress of protection.

He gives you wisdom to make good decisions and enjoy an abundant life.

Christ lives in you. He desires to be a river of Living Water flowing out of your heart and touching those living in darkness.

You are a light in a world of darkness.

He fills the generational gap! The counsel of the Lord stands forever!

He is Christ the Lord!

Invigorate your life with the power of Christ!

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2

The Word of God for today is “Invigorate your life with the power of Christ!”

The definition of invigorate is to make one feel strong, healthy, and full of energy.

This is about making a choice between life and death.

The invigorating power of Christ comes through the Holy Spirit.

As a believer you are sealed with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ.

Today you can make a decision to live a dormant lifestyle or to be filled with the vibrant life of Christ.

The Holy Spirit is the source of the life of Christ.

He allows you to see life through the eyes of Christ.

He gives you the ability to have conversations with Christ.

He fills you with the strength of Christ.

He guides your pathway and protects you from danger.

He keeps you away from evil.

He teaches you the values of Christ and how to appropriate them into your life.

He brings down evil strongholds and frees those from the bondage of Satan.

He convicts you of sin and offers the blood of Christ so you can become clean and restored to God.

He teaches you how to live by faith trusting Christ for your every need.

He heals you from physical infirmities and restores your inner being from hurt and pain.

He is the pathway to Christ without laws or religion.

He teaches you how to pray like Jesus.

He allows you to see the glory of God.

He gives you wisdom through visions and dreams.

He surrounds you with the love and compassion of Christ.

He offers you the fullness of His life–love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness.

He transforms your disposition into the character of God.

He performs signs and wonders in your life.

The Holy Spirit is the reality of Christ.

He does not live in religion or laws. He is the resurrected Christ and dwells within you.

Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life and you will become ingratiated with the favor of Christ.

The veracity of Christ!

The words of the Lord are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever.” Psalm 12:6-7

Good Morning,

Today God told me “I am a forthright God and I keep My promises.”

The promises of God are those written in scripture and those spoken directly to you from the Holy Spirit.

Some spiritual truths about the promises of God:

God tends to be oblivious to timelines. The promises might become reality today, next week, or in forty years.

God will test you through His promises. He will tell you something about the future or direct you to take some action and nothing happens. This is the character of God.

The purpose of the testing is to determine your allegiance to God and your faith in Christ who has power and dominion over the heavens and earth.

Sometimes God will speak words to you that are impossible to understand or relate to your life. Don’t try to connect the dots. God will bring comprehension in His perfect timing.

Just listen and accept God’s words. Develop a permissive attitude allowing God to speak whatever is on His mind. Who are you to question God?

God doesn’t think like you. This why He is God!

All the promises of God in Christ are yes and amen!

Unearthing the treasures of Christ!

“You have to make a decision to accept all of Me if you want to share in My treasures. There is no shortcut.”

“I am the way, the truth and the life.” John 14:6

The word from God for today is find your security in Christ. He is your only hope for life.

The judgments of God have created havoc in the world.

It is impossible to find a safe haven.

Your security has been stripped away.

Satan is attacking the people of God.

Life is unwieldy and uncertain.

All of this has happened to cause you to reexamine your priorities in life.

The Living Christ is your only hope for protection and security.

The Cross is not a symbol. It is a living reality.

The gift of salvation offers you the Living Christ every moment of your life.

Open your heart up to God without limitations. Come live with Jesus by faith.

Rest in the works of Christ. Seek your refuge in the strength, wisdom, and peace of God.

The eyes of God see everything. He examines your motives and lifestyle.

God chooses to bless or curse. There is no middle ground.

Now is the time to reckon yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. God is holy and will not honor those living in immorality.

Seek out the wisdom of God for your life through vibrant prayer, study of the Word, and live in oneness with Christ anchored to the Holy Spirit. Be open to the voice of God!

You cannot change the will of Christ. You must submit to Him!

Christ wants your loyalty not your works.

Loyalty to Christ is living by faith not by what you see with your eyes.

Christ knows you better than you know yourself. Seek out the discretion of Christ for your life.

The treasures of Christ come by your devotion to God and living by faith trusting in the promises of God.

The will of Christ is a mindset not a course of action.

“I delight to do your will, my God” Psalm 40:8

You can never do the perfect will of God. It requires too much suffering and pain.

The starting point is to accept that you have an inner nature to live for self and can never meet the standards of God.

However, you can take delight in seeking out God’s will and asking for His wisdom for your life.

The will of God is a mindset not a course of action. It is living in oneness with God through the Holy Spirit.

Give praise and thanksgiving to God in the bleakest periods of your life.

Invite the Holy Spirit to live in every moment of your life.

Seek out the blood of Christ to cover your sins at all times.

Recognize Christ Jesus is the Son of God and He controls the destiny of your life!

The power of Christ to save lives!

Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” John 3:5-6

Jesus is a God of reclamation. The definition of reclamation is the process of claiming something back.

IMG_1348

The purpose of Christ is to reclaim a lost life. He takes a lost and broken human being and repurchases his life with the blood of Christ.

Jesus takes you as an unworthy person, with a corrupt inner being and separated from the presence of God. He forgives all your sins and places His Spirit to live in you every day of your life.

The message of Christ is forgiveness for sins which is a process you and I need every moment of our life.

He creates a new person in Christ Jesus. You become baptized into the death and resurrected life of Christ.

You go from a vapor trail to living forever with Christ.

Christ shares His life with you. He fills you with strength, wisdom, peace, and joy. You cannot find these characteristics in the world. They come from heaven.

You inherit all the promises of God in Christ.

Christ offers protection from evil with His omniscient eyes, the power of the Holy Spirit, and through His ministering spirits.

Christ holds the stars in place by His Word. He is omnipotent. No one can compare to Him. He will gladly share this power with you.

Christ never changes. His Word endures forever.

Christ keeps all His promises. You can never find this guarantee in the world.

Christ is a miracle worker!

Be vigilant with the eyes of Christ!

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8

The word from God today is vigilant which means to be alert or watchful for difficulties or troubles.

IMG_1347

In the context of a believer, this is looking at life through the eyes of Jesus. It is a sense of having a sound mind filled with the truths of Christ.

God is omniscient and sees all. He knows your future. Seek Him out for wisdom and protection.

You and I are living in a whirlwind of the judgment of God. He is very angry over those living in immorality and all who deny Him.

He despises religion which is filled with hypocrisy and leads people astray from Christ.

Satan is at work today to destroy you. He is a deceiver and is always looking for ways to lure you away from God and into sin.

The voice of God is to reckon yourself dead to sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

Walk away from darkness and into the light of Christ.

Recognize your salvation is more important than ever before.

Pray that God will be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway.

God wants your respect above all else!
