Revelation Cannot be Taken Away

There will NEVER be a day that God will NOT love you!!! Seek God for revelation. Pray that others will have a revelation from God. Where the annointing is, bondages are destroyed. Sometimes you can hear something a 100 times but just don't get it. Jesus paid the price and we get it all. Eph 1:19 Revelation is something that can NOT be taken away from us. God loves you and you can know him in a personal way. John 14:17; John 15:18-19 don't get mad when unbelievers think you are weird or from another planet. The Lord has chosen you as His own and the world will hate you. If everyone in the world likes you, you are probably compromising in your walk. Try to meet them where they are at without compromising. Hell is going to be complete seperation from God.

We Are In A War

the weapons of our warfare are NOT carnal. 2 Cor 10:14 we are in a war. Don't get offended. Get a grip..you are a flawed human being. All the answers to what we need are found in the Word of God. Why is it so hard to think right? Because we have two natures...2 Cor 5:17 we get a new nature in the depths of our spirit. Everything you got when you got saved is on the inside. It's like seed and it takes root first instead of sprouting immediately. Water the seed with the Word. You are growing and you WILL see the fruit of it. Eventually you don't recognize yourself. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Nothing will change in your life if you don't change your mind. Live by the Word of God...Do not live by feelings! Renew your mind according to the Word of God. We have to suffer to not keep feeding the flesh. Be willing to be a little incomfortable now to have good results in the future. Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the desires o...

The Mind…Where ALL of our Problems Start!

The mind is our biggest problem and what we think becomes our words and our attitude and our attitude becomes our mood. The devil is a liar. There are two ways to handle the devil, stand up to him with the Word or take what he gives you. Romans 8:4 - 5 be led by the Spirit and meet the full requirements of the law. Don't be contolled by the flesh. If u are walking in the flesh its because you are following after things of the flesh. Where the man goes, the mind follows. Cast down wrong thoughts. 2Timothy 1:7 God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. Say what God says and stop saying what the devil/the world says. Make your mind up to have what God says you can have!!! Stop talking about your mess and start talking about what the Word says. Make your mind up you can do anything God tells you to do. We are not weak and wimpy, we are warriors. If everything around us is a mess (our house, etc) it's a sign that things ar...

An Attitude of Trust & Patience

Trust yourself to God, He is a God of justice...He makes WRONG things RIGHT!!! It may not come in your timing but it WILL come. God will give us double blessings for our trouble. God is a redeemer and a restorer and He gives us a double recompense for our former trouble. Whatever you are going through, don't let it make you bitter. KNOW that you have a double blessing on the way! There is NOTHING that God can not do!!! 1 Peter 2:22-23 You can not have justice in your life until you let go of it and part of letting go of it is to STOP trying to figure it all out! Jesus went through hard stuff too. (His disciples betrayed him, living a sinless life, dying on the cross, etc) Just give it all to God. There may be a time of the cross and there may be a time of the grave but there always comes a resurrection. What is your attitude while you are waiting? Deut. 8:2 God is taking us through the wildernesses in our lives to bring us to a place of abundance!!! ...

Humility

Andrew Murrays book on Humility Pride is wrapped up in so many areas of our being. 1 Thess 5:18 be thankful and give thanks! When the enemy is coming against you, get on your face and pray and sing praises to the Lord! Confuse the enemy by praising God in EVERY situation. Do ALL things without complaining!

Don't Gravitate Towards the Negative

The natural flow of the flesh that is NOT being led by the Holy Spirit will ALWAYS gravitate towards the negative.

Serve Others

Get over yourself and serve others. Washing feet breaks down pride. With a right motive. We r much more willing to do things for people we like and know. Find a need and meet that need. The thing that sours a marriage is when spouses stop doing things for each other.   Marriages are falling apart because we stop trying to make our spouses life better.

Help Others

Can only help others that want to be helped.   Help those that want it and don't worry about helping those that don't want it.   Stop trying to mess with anyone that doesn't have anything to do with you.   Satan uses rejection against us. Matthew 10:11-14 shake the dust off and move forward. This walk is all about others!!! Grow up! Amos 6:1, 4-7 Selfishness is weakness but love is a position of power. Show me someone that needs a blessing!!!

The Forgiveness Test

It seems unfair to forgive someone who hurt you. Forgive and do yourself a favor. There will be people in your life you will have to forgive over, and over and over. Unforgiveness will mess you up spiritually. Matthew 5:8; Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart and recognize when offenses come in. Stop thinking about it and stop talking about it. The more you let it get rooted in you the deeper it's going to be and the harder it's going to be to get rid of it. Matthew 6:12-15 if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses. Total forgiveness doesn't always mean restoration of the relationship. Matthew 24:10 a last day sign - many will get offended. Being offended keeps you from going forward with God. 12) the love of the great body of people will grow cold. We are in the last days and can NOT be mad at other people. Satan wants to build a strong hold of cold love in our hearts. Mark 11:23-26 if you have any...

Pray Against Temptation

Don't say or do things out of temptation/frustration or anger. Conquer those enemies through prayer. Everything that God tells us to do in his word is for us. So we don't have to live inprisoned to the flesh. Add power to ur life, don't deduct power. Know urself, ur weaknesses so u don't fall into temtation. PRAY against it BEFOREHAND. Be ready, pray that u will NOT b decieved and that you will recognize it immediately when it starts and that u will NOT come into that temptation! Luke 22:40 pray that u would not at all enter into temptation. Prayer works and opens the door for God to work in our lives. Don't be a temptation to somebody else. James 1:12; Luke 4:1-13 U don't see ur true self when u r in church. We see our true selves when we r at home behind closed doors when things aren't going our way and the pressure is on, when we have been disappointed, when somebody hurts our feelings, when somebody makes u...

Making Right Choices

Deut 32:19 i set before you life and death, choose you therefore life. By making right choices you can do away with anger and making wrong choices, etc. Live deeper by going beyond what you want, think and feel. Freedom is NOT free. Sow wisdom, reap wisdom. Sow foolishness and reap foolishness. Don't feed misery by going with your feelings. Do what's right while it still feels wrong...you are growing. Luke 5:1-7 don't live in shallow water (i want, i think, i feel) go beyond what i (want, think, feel) deeper, i will have an OVERABUNDANCE in life. Wisdom does now what it will be happy with later on. That way you don't have to live your life in regret. Proverbs 2:1-6 we have too loose of a feeling today concerning God almighty! We need to love,respect and reverance him enough out of love. The Lord gives skillfull and Godly wisdom to those who seek it. Proverbs 4:8 - use wisdom and get promotion. Walk in integrity when no one is watching. ...

Being a Stay At Home Mom Missionary

The other day I happened upon a site that talked about being a " Stay at Home Missionary "(Reaching the World for Christ beginning in the home)...it really got me to thinking. I've been struggling these days/weeks/months with being home and with homeschooling. I love it and all but for some reason I've really been struggling with it all. I'm not sure what's going on. A few months ago the Lord quickened my spirit and told me to "Stand Firm" in what he's called us to do...I guess he was forwarning me as he knew I was going to have these thoughts. Last night at church, I sat in with the kids and listened to each of them talk about school and what they are doing and the classes they get to pick from for next year, etc...All I could think of is our daughter who doesn't do all of that school stuff but WHY in the world am I feeling that way...we have lots of opportunities and get to do all kinds of fun things too. Why do I feel like this job t...

The Lord our Provider

He provides anything that we need, anytime we need it, what we have need of. Eph 1:17-19 Learn who you are in Christ, what your inheritance is, God doesn't love you more if you do good works but you should do good works helping others because He loves you. Jesus left us things in his will (the word). Know the inheritance that's ours. Go to God first, no matter what we face, God is here. He not only provides financially but he provides strength, ability, power and might. Proverbs 15:15 all the days of desponding and afflicted are made evil (by anxious thoughts and forebodings), but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast (regardless of circumstances). Satan wants you to aspect something bad, he wants you to live in fear, fear is the opposite of faith and it takes faith to receive anything good from God. We open the door to the devil by having fears and open the door to God by having faith. Waiting on God is a spiritually active time (expecting, looking for,...

Living a Life of Peace

What r u suppose to do when you want something or need something??? PRAY! Purposly b thankful. Refuse to murmur and complain. God's will for us is peace. Col 3:15 let the peace of Christ rule. If u don't have peace about something then Don't do it. (don't go there or buy that, etc) John 14:27 peace i leave with you. My own peace i now give to you. Not as the world gives do i give to you. Do not let your hearts b troubled, neither let them b afraid. Stop giving into the demands of your flesh. You have all the peace you will ever need, do not be ruled by your emotions. Pray for revelation on how to access peace and for wisdom to start choosing peace. You being peaceful is more important than you getting your way. 1 peter 3:10-11 ...let him search for peace. Have peace with God, then with yourself and with other people. You can never have peace with people until you can love people unconditionally just the way they are. *NUGGETS are my own views on things I...

The Law of First Things

How you behave in the wilderness determines how long you will stay there. Some people never get out because they complain, to complain is to remain. Trust God and praise him. Do not let the devil steal your joy or use your mouth to complain. Deut 8:2 i led u these 40 years in the wilderness, to humble you and to prove you, to see if you would keep my commandments or not. It's easy to worship God on the mountain top, it's another thing in the valley and in the wilderness. Man does not live by stuff, he lives by the word of God alone. God can exalt but can also humble and abaise. God can not find many people that he can give everything to because it has an ability to get ahold of you. Keep things in their right place. Always have time for God. (Read all of Deut 8) your life is not in stuff! If it ever becomes more important than God, he can take it away. Matt 5:24 if u have anything against anyone, go make it right with your brother FIRST. Luke 14:28 calculate the cost FIRS...

Self-Control

Galatians 5:22-23 And the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness and self control. Having Self control does not mean you can never do anything you want to do, that is not true. It does mean that you cannot eat everything you want to eat for the rest of your life, you can not buy everything you want, you can't say anything you want, think anything you want or do anything you want all the time. Self control is about balance. Stop trying to control all our circumstances, give up trying to control anything else but yourself. You have the fruit of self control in you but you have to use it. The fruit of the spirit starts with Love and love is patient, kind, humble. If I don't have self-control everything else collapses. When you manage self-control you are in control being led by the Holy Spirit. Self control delays gratification. Romans 5:18 adams sin loosed sin on everyone born after that, but Jesus Christ leads to life for all men, by m...

What you SHOULD do with your Mouth...

1) stay busy blessing everything you have the power to bless. Numbers 6:22-27 the Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord watch over you and give you favor, make His face to shine upon you. (the words have to have faith to work) We have the authority (in Christ) over all curses that have been released because of wrong things that have been spoken to you and about you. 2) psalm 100:4 be thankful and say so. Psalm 119:62 David said at midnight I will get up and give you thanks. Col 1:3 we continually give thanks. 3) encourage, edify, and build up - don't commit the sin of omission (not saying what's right). Keep ur marriage good by encouraging your mate. Be not weary in well doing for in due season you shall reap if you faint not. Proverbs 15:4 (i will be an encourager - ask the Lord to put it in you heart to say to them to build them up) 4) tell the truth - eph 4:15 speak the truth in love, the bible is a book of truth, God is a God of truth, He only speaks the truth, it's ...

Mouth Talk - The Power of Words

Start calling those things that be not as though they are according to the word of God. Your self talk is important and learn how to meditate on the word. Prov 18:20-21 the power of life and death are in the tongue. Get up and say the Joy of the Lord is my strength, and I'm NOT going to spend the day depressed, i'm going to think on things that are going to benefit me. Do warfare with your mouth, fight for your life, don't give the devil one more day of your life. It closes the door to satan when you use mouth control, watch your words. Refuse to complain, murmur, grumble and find fault. You can be healed through speaking right words. Isaiah 58 says Theres healing power in the word of our mouth. 1cor 3:1-4 (AMP) Start being accountable for your words. Pay attention to how you feel and what you say when others get blessings. Don't hang out with selfish, geedy people, comprimisers (one foot in the world) things you should do with your mouth: 1) stay busy blessing everyt...
