It's Freedom Time

New International Version (©1984)
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. New Living Translation (©2007)
For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
English Standard Version (©2001)
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

I have sited 5 different translations of 2 Corinthians 3:17, and some will say that using other translations can make things complicated. Well, If you look at these 5, I would say that they are all saying the same thing, they are saying that if you are in  God who is a Spirit, and where ever God's Spirit dwells, there will be  freedom. 

Meaning when you become a child of God you are now free from sin because there is no sin in God. So do not let the adversary trick you into beating yourself up, when you're weak God will make you strong, get up clean yourself off ( repent) and keep being pressing toward your freedom.

Salvation is still here, repent and recieve the water baptism in Jesus Name for the remission of your sin, and you shall recieve the gift of the  Holy Ghost by the evidence in speaking in an unknown tongue as the Spirit of God gives the utterance.. !!  Act. 2:38

It's Freedom Time

Don't Give Up On God, Because He Won't Give Up On You

How many times have you felt like giving up?

 How many times have you said to yourself, " I just can't take this anymore?

I have news for you, you are not alone.

Life has a strange way of not telling you what you may endure the next day, next week, or next year.

Just to encourage you today and hopefully for the rest of your life, if you hold on to God's unchanging hand He can turn your situation around.

There is nothing to hard for God, when we say it's impossible, God says "It's never impossible if you trust me.

God is looking to heal the broken hearted, those that are wounded, blind and lame because life has taken your sight to believe and your strength to get up and walk again.

Deliverance is here!!! It's a New day, See again, and Walk In It!!

Accept Jesus the Christ today, let him show you the way..

Prayer for today: Jesus we thank you for your love and your grace, for your everlasting mercy, for your sweet spirit that is still yet here for us to grab on to. Save us from ourselves, and the issues we can't seem to shack. Lord I ask you to show us that there is nothing to hard for you, and if we believe, that you can change our situation. Lord draw someone to you today, lead them to your temple, so they can become free in you lord, set them free from the bondage of sin.

Lord I thank you in advance for the things you have planned for your children, we love you and worship you forever more, in Jesus Name Amen!!

John14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Philippians 1:6

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ

I've Got A Testimony

Greetings and Bless the Lord,

I can truly say that I am blessed I have a testimony.. I just want to thank God for considering me and choosing me be His child. Before the year began I was in prayer for 2012 and I was inspired by God to have a hour of power prayer every 12th of the month. Every month has been a different topic, and it never ceases to amaze me how the Spirit of God takes over every time.

2012 has been the season of transition, deliverance and healing....!! There has been many testimonies on how God has done yet another Miracle!!!

I encourage you that may read this to believe what God has spoke into your life, do not abort God's purpose for your life. Yes, the road may get bumpy, and the rain may fall, but the road will get smoother and the sun will shine again.

Be encouraged, and know that God's word will never return unto Him Void!!!

Just keep Believing!!

Please feel free to leave your testimony, someone needs to hear it!!!

DONT LET THE DOOR OF THE ARK CLOSE IN YOUR FACE

When I think about the testimony of Noah, I think about his faith, patience, endurance,steadfastness and obedience.

In Genesis Ch 6 we read that the creation of man had gone wicked, and it repenteth God that he made them.

But Noah found "grace" in the eyes of the lord. Doesn't it feel good to know that no matter how much hell is going on around you, when you live for Christ, you are in his favor!!

 Noah was given precise direction from God on how to build theArk.  Noah was building, and preaching to the people that the rain was coming, But it had never rained, they did not know what rain was.The people thought Noah was crazy, why would they believe a word of what he was saying, they couldn't recollect or even understand because they were blinded by wickedness, and couldn't see that God had sent a messenger to save their lives.

Isn't that like God, even though we deserve death, he sends life to give us a chance to repent and turn from our wicked ways!! Glory to God!!!

I thank God for Noah's testimony, Noah worked on the ark for 100+ years and still believed the Word of God.. Sometimes when God speaks a word into our lives and we don't see the manifestation immediately we allow doubt to come in and rob us of our blessings.

If you feel like this, just remember that if God said it, it will come to pass. Hold on to God's unchanging hand.

God Loves us so much he will give you time to come back, but the decision is yours.God will not force you, God is not controlling, God is looking for those that are willing to serve Him.

Isn't it amazing how after all that time only 8people made it in? Why when we see a church with 8 members we say God isn't there?? ( another dialogue for another day)

 I wonder if  Noah preached to the people one last time, while the animals were boarding the ark, and his family with Him, and then  God seals the door shut.! When God closes a door no man can open it!!
 Do not let the Ark door of salvation close on your life. Get in the Ark while you still have a chance.

My Prayer:
Dear Lord, I thank you for your kindness and your patience with us, Oh God as we go through out our days, thinking that we still have time left, help us God to remember that our days are numbered and we never know the day or the hour of your return or the moment our lives will end. Lord, you said in your Word that we are drawn in by your Spirit dear Lord, draw us in Oh God, save us while we yet still have a chance.. In Jesus name I pray for us all in need of your Ark,  amen!!

Forgiveness

Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

 When you have been hurt you often feel like hurting back. Whether it be a friend that hurt you or a marriage gone sour, or that relative that you just don't mesh with, our human nature says strike back, and sometimes we have.

The word of God tells us something totally different, God tells us to forgive. If we look at Matthew 6:12 the first part of forgiveness deals with yourself, not the person that hurt you, before you go to God about someone else it is imperative that you make sure your slate is clean first.

Galatians 6:1-2 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. (attitude: approach gently and stand ready to restore the relationship)

I had to stop and think to myself, why when my feelings are hurt I want God to heal my feelings but kill the person that hurt me?? Wrong thought pattern, because in order for me to be healed I have to first ask for forgiveness and next,  forgive .

Why is it so easy to pass judgment on the next person when they're caught in their fault, but when I fall I have a legitimate reason for falling? The answer is, because no one likes being wrong, no one likes admitting they have transgressed, but God tells us to be careful when we talk about our brothers and sisters and kick them down instead of lifting them up, because you may be tempted next!

Matt 18:3-5 And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter

the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.

Sometimes I get my best lessons from watching children. When children play, they often fight, cry and stop being friends for a totally of 2-5 minutes, but what do they do next, they forgive each other and start playing again.

Hebrews 12:1 let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us,

Have you ever held lots of grocery bags in your arms so you wouldn't have to go back?? That weight you're carrying is how it feels when you are holding on to unforgiveness. It's time to LET IT GO!!

The prayer for today :
God we come before you  bowed at your feet, asking for forgiveness of our debts to you Oh God, Lord open up our heart and our minds and free our souls from unforgiveness, Lord give us hearts like yours, hearts that forgive our enemies for they know not what they do, hearts that will feed our enemies, cloth our enemies, give them drink when they are thirsty, Oh God we pray for the spirit of forgiveness to take control in our lives, homes. jobs, relationships, and our churches. We thank you for it and claim it done in Jesus Name, Amen!
