We look at our life, health and circumstance and think to ourselves “how did I end up here?” We have the freedom, along the way to choose what we focus on. When we take our mind off the problem, and immerse our mind in God’s word, hope returns. “With God all things are possible. ” Matthew 19:26 When we discover that our ways are not working, it is comforting to know that God is waiting to help us. He enlightens all who ask for wisdom.

“Friendship with the world is hostility towards God. So whoever wants to be the world’s friend becomes God’s enemy. The Scripture says that the Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously. But, He gives greater grace. Scripture says ‘God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble. Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” James 4

We must wash the dirt, dust and lies out of our hearts. Is it possible that God would forgive you and give you a thousand more chances? Yes, just ask Him. Faith is governed by God’s law. When we ask God for a fresh start, for a job, or a healing —first we must believe that God exists, that He is the One from whom all blessings flow. REMINDER: “Without faith in God, it is impossible to please Him.”

Our faith grows and develops muscle as we cut off the sewage flow of the news. Our faith in God, heaven and hell gets polluted by the prince of the airwaves, Satan. Life on earth is a spiritual battle. Success requires all of us to choose whose army we want to join. Black ⚫️ or White. God gives us His report of who wins in the end. We have the freedom to choose to be a foot soldier for God, or listen to the Liar who seeks to kill and destroy any faith in God. We choose where we will spend eternity. In God’s glorious presence, or in a dark pit, where we will be perpetually tortured.

We STARVE unbelief when we choose to doubt our doubts. We FEED our FAITH in God when we choose to believe our beliefs in His word, which has been proven to never fail. For everyone who asks receives; and the wise who seek truth, find it in God’s living and active Word. “Your heavenly Father desires to impart the Holy Spirit to all who ask Him.” Luke 11:13 When we humble ourselves and ask we basically surrender. “Father God, I recognize my need for Your power. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may be transformed and healed. By my faith, I receive the Holy Spirit right now. Thank You Father for Thy faithfulness and for baptizing me in the Holy Spirit. AMEN”

Walk by faith, not by sight. You may feel nothing at the moment, but trust that God is at work in you. Only believe in your heart. Our Father always honor His word. Only God can unbind us, deliver us from evil and restore us. “Therefore I say unto you, whatsoever you desire in your heart, when you pray, BELIEVE that you receive them.” In His perfect timing, in His Way, for His purpose —you shall receive what you need, and that which is best for you.

God’s Word is His instruction manual. He tells us how His kingdom operates by faith. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the word of God.” Romans 10:17 Our Father instructs “My son, attend to My words; incline your ear to My sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh.” Proverbs 4:20-22 We are to trust in God with all our hearts, and NOT doubt, or lean on our feeble understanding. In all our ways we must acknowledge God, and the Holy Spirit will direct our path.

The New American Standard Bible has the word WISDOM listed 210 times. Proverbs is the book of wisdom and our Father implores us to seek wisdom. How? A Dictionary defines wisdom as “the ability to make sensible judgements and decisions, especially on the basis of one’s knowledge and experience; prudence and common sense.” This tells us that we are not born wise; we attain it through external sources, which is fine if we have good sources. We know to well that the news is corrupt, and we are WISE to not trust the world wide web. “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” James 1:5 The wisest man that ever lived asked God for wisdom. God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore. Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.” 1 Kings 4:28-30 Left to our own understanding we set ourselves up to only believe what our brains were taught by whatever we learned from a parent, teacher, pastor or friend. The Christian, as a child of God, has the best source of wisdom in Almighty God. The most numerous Biblical references to wisdom are found in the book of Proverbs; it is a treasure trove of wisdom! “How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.” Proverbs 16:16 Pay attention to the source of your current beliefs. Is it possible that your source of wisdom was corrupt?

Our Father waits to hear from His kids and He is thrilled to bless us in ways we would not even imagine. “Oh, give thanks to the Lord for He is good! His mercies endure forever.” Psalm 107:1 We cannot earn or buy our way into heaven. We only need to believe in Jesus Christ, proclaim Him as Lord, follow His way, and obey His word. Faith in Jesus does not get us a prize, the glory of His welcoming, forgiving, merciful presence is the prize. A glimpse of the power of the Holy Spirit.

There is great anxiety in the world and it stems from srraining to get money. The burden to get rich is a tool that Satan uses to tempt us. God owns all there is, and His word tells us that money is not what we should seek after with all our heart. Money is just a tool to expand good and provision. The desire for money can enslave us to the point of ignoring God. Many extremely wealthy people (Soros) do NOT experience peace. WHY? Many have broken relationships, or they just exist without joy. Worldly wealth can slip away, but our security is found in our faith in God. He does supply all we need, NOT all we want. Real power comes from being filled with the Spirit of God. Our worth is based on what God says, not on what your bank statement says. “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may  be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will achieve success.” Joshua 1:8 — This place called earth is only our temporary residence, heaven is our permanent home.

As a willing delivery agent for God, we partner with heaven to be a part of the supernatural. ❤️ Personal miracles occur when we say what God wants us to speak. God uses those who trust Him to deliver the Word He gives. “Here I am, Lord, send me. 🙏 When the Spirit nudges me, I will not doubt, but do what I am asked.” We were born to serve others. As we respond with a YES Lord, we get to be His agent to bless others. Watch God use you when you ask to be a blessing, “How can I help? ” God has a plan to use you. When we help others, we fulfill our purpose. Bruce Wilkinson wrote “You were Born for this”. A great book that gives all who read it hope for their future. Jude 1:23-24 “Save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy—” We must be like fire fighters, ready to sacrifice to rescue others. We sacrifice always being liked by all. We will offend sensibilities, we will lose friends as we obey God’s great commission. To snatch a soul in danger of the eternal fire, is a matter of the utmost urgency. We all live forever in Eternity. Where we will live forever will be determined by God based on our obedience. Both Heaven and Hell are real destinations. It will be either a life of indescribable glory or of torment. The road is narrow that leads to heaven. Wide is the road that leads to hell. Jesus will keep us from stumbling that we can stand before Him without fault. 🙌 HALLELUJAH ❤️
