Hope Revived

When I recall the Lord’s gentle and merciful ways towards me, it reminds me that when I see others staggering and stumbling, to speak meekly and humbly to them. My my, you don’t know how a word spoken in season would have an affect upon them. That word especially spoken with tender concern can cause them to take a second look at what was said. For if in this life, I’m left to fend alone, for all comfort has departed and encouragement is gone, I could still achieve you see, but compassion and mercy would grant grace to me.

Eph. 4:30-32

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

One of the things we learned to do, when walking by faith is to stay in position. We know naturally that if we walk forward, but abruptly begin to move backward, progress is impossible. So keep a steady pace. Sometimes moving just a bit slower will help you keep perspective upon the entire situation. Then so pleased shall you be when you look back and see how far you’ve come. 1 Cor. 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord

A Restored Soul

The Apostle John said,
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” 3 John 1:2. A healthy mind is what is necessary to walk in prosperity. We take the water of the word and we soak our minds in it, allowing it to purge out all unhealthy data. And we stay under the fountain of his word; keeping our souls clean and pure Eph. 5:26. Then we are in the right shape to resist everything that would attempt to break through to our souls, and begin to weaken us again.

John 15:3-10

 3 Now ye are clean through the word I have spoken 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love

In this life we are blessed, ohh, we have a Great Shepherd that leads us. He is the Good Shepherd, and he knows where we must go. He leads gently, and softly so that we can follow him correctly. He examines every situation that presents itself to us. Then he gives his counsel as we follow, shielding us from paths, that would cause us to stumble. There is no scarcity where he leads. but green pastures surrounding, still waters abundantly.

Psalms 23

1 (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever

The law of reciprocity in the Kingdom Of God is enunciated thoughout the scriptures. By honoring God, he will raised you up so that you can speak to a vast multitude. Start today, by honoring him in your home, your family will be drawn into his love, and they will draw close to you. 

Hebrews 6:10-13.  10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13 Fot when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

To those who look into the perfect law of liberty, and continue, there in, (the keys is to continue and not allow the wicked one to corrupt the text in your thinking,) this man or woman will be blessed, that is empowered to prosper in his deeds. James 1;25 That includes living until your satisfied.

Not to long ago, the devil challenged me on this part of the word. I had been preaching for the missionary evangelist group that I am a part of. I came home and found my dad, who was 86 at the time, lying in the floor in a pool of blood. He was conscious and I called EMSA and had him immediately taken to the hospital. While I was cleaning up that blood, there was so much all over the floor, the devil said I’m going to kill him. I said no your not! Jesus shed his blood for my Dad, so his blood will replace this blood devil! I LOCKED INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY. I Declared the word of God, night and day. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your house shall be saved, that includes my dad, Acts 16:31, With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation Psalms 91:16 that’s my dad, he’s not satisfied neither am I. We have the New Testament and Old Testament blessings amen? No weapon formed against me shall prosper and every tongue, ( that includes Satan’s) that rises up against me shall be condemned. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (Because I walk under covenant protection Isaiah 54:19. )Well he tried to fight my mind, but I countered him with the word of God, I didn’t cast out God’s word and begin to look at something else. My brothers and sisters, my Dad walked away from that hospital, he just had his birthday January 10th. My God is faithful to me, because I am faithful to his word. I have authority in my household, you can have it too. But begin to build these truths into your heart. It will take time, but it’s well worth the effort.

Psalms 103:1-6.

1 {A Psalm of David.} Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

Early on in the lives of those that the Lord has so chosen, he refines, he sharpens, he prepares them for the monumental tasks ahead. If you find yourself in this category rejoice! Now stay in position for your on the launching pad. You shall be sooo elated as to where your are going from here.

John 3:21 King James Version (KJV)
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God

Jesus dealt with sickness in several different ways. Sometimes he laid his hands upon the sick. Sometimes, he spoke sharply to the Infirmities. And still other times people touched his clothing, and as many as touched were made perfectly well. He never left anyone who came to him for help sick. Let the life of Jesus affect you, and be healed of your plague.

Mark 1:30-31 King James Version (KJV)
30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

It’s one thing to be guarded by a company of angels, but the scriptures say that we have come into an innumerable company of angels. The heavenly hosts, 2/3rds to 1, concerning our enemies. If God would just open your eyes as he did for the servant of the prophet Elisha. 2 Kings 6:17, you would be soo settled in your salvation, and live life to the fullest measure.

Jesus came that we might have life, and have it more abundantly John 10:10b . He was given the angels to care for him in his work. We here him say, to Nathanael, Truely, truely, I tell you, you will see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” John 1:15

Hebrews 12: 22But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
