Success in Jesus

I have found so TRUE that as we ALL meditate, trust in settle our Faith in the word of God & lean not to what is going on in this world, or our finances, or our health, or our school, or anything that would so easily distract us from the call of God & what God is preparing us for. But to trust the Lord with ALL our heart & truly REST in knowing God is on the throne & still in control!

I was thinking the other day about “Moses” & how he lived the best life one could only dream of, hope for, pray for. He lived as royalty in the castle! But before he was born God had a plan (design) for his life & it was BIG! You know the story so I wont go in to that—But, God brought him out of his comfort zone into the desert for 40+ years while he was in training for the call God had on his life. SO THE TRAINING YOU ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW MIGHT SEEM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, But God will get you through this & you will walk in victory & success in ever area of your life!

My thoughts are the thoughts of the diligent which tend ONLY to plenteousness, Therefore I will not fret or have any anxiety about anything! But in everything by the POWER OF PRAYER & PETITION (DEFINITE REQUEST) with thanksgiving continue to make my WANTS know unto YOU LORD! And your peace which transcends ALL understanding shall garrison & mount guard over my heart & mind in Christ Jesus!

Today I shall be transformed by the renewing of MY mind, which may prove what is that good & acceptable & perfect will of God! Your Word, Lord shall not depart out of my mouth; but I shall meditate on it day & night that I may observe to do according to ALL that is written therein; for then I shall have good success!

Philippians 4:13

I can do ALL things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me!

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called FAILURE, a loop called CONFUSION, speed bumps called FRIENDS, red lights called ENEMIES, caution lights called FAMILY. You will have flat tires called JOBS!

But, if you have a spare called DETERMINATION, an engine called PERSEVERANCE, Insurance called FAITH, a driver called JESUS, then you will make it to the place called SUCCESS!

God still sits on the throne

Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings In Jesus' precious name.

Amen

Determined, Dedicated and Disciplined

This is a lifestyle we all need to strive for.

This will be a rock, a firm foundation as we live in this arena.

"If you do not venture, you remain ordinary as long as you live. If you dare the impossible, then God will abundantly do far above all you ask or think." - Smith Wigglesworth

Having reached a decision: firmly resolved.

Firmly resolved is the act of deciding definitely and firmly; also the result of such an act of decision firm or fixed intention to achieve a desired end. A fixing or finding of the position, magnitude, value, or character of something: as the act, process, or result of an accurate measurement.

2 Timothy 3:12
Indeed all who delight in piety and are determined to live a devoted and godly life in Christ Jesus will meet with persecution will be made to suffer because of their religious stand.

1 Corinthian 2:2
For I resolved to know nothing to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing among you except Jesus Christ the Messiah and Him crucified.

This is true determination.

John 3:16
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten unique Son, so that whoever believes in trusts in, clings to, relies on Him shall not perish come to destruction, be lost but have eternal everlasting life.


Romans 5:8
But God shows and clearly proves His own love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ the Messiah, the Anointed One died for us.

This is dedication.

Acts 17:11
Now these [Jews] were better disposed and more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they were entirely ready and accepted and welcomed the message concerning the attainment through Christ of eternal salvation in the kingdom of God with inclination of mind and eagerness, searching and examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

Proverbs 25:28
He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls.

I Corinthians 6:12
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

I Corinthians 9:27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Galatians 5:16
But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God).

Galatians 5:25
If we live by the Holy Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. If by the Holy Spirit we have our life in God, let us go forward walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.

I Had A Dream - “Full Amour”

The other night I awakened after a dream I had. The dream was about people that had really been hurt while on their journey to ‘Heaven”.

In the dream it was about how people were going out on the mission field (like a war zone) in everyday walks of life and were being hurt, badly exhausted, & taking some big blows in the natural. The stress on each ones body was so severe they couldn’t hardly walk or hold their own body up to get back for help.

They were coming back into the church (as a hospital) to get bandaged up & taken care of. The wounds were very server on most. The blood was all over their bodies & most had been shot and were badly hurt.

As I watched this entire war zone taken place in my dream I felt as I was there with them. I could only stand at the side & watch all that was taking place. It was as a war zone area & there were many I knew would not make it (live).

The place of receiving medical care was understaffed; there were not enough care givers for the amount of injuries. Most were so badly injured they were just receiving bandages & were being sent back to fight on the battle field.

As they were on their way out to the battle field I knew they were not going to make it but die.

As I looked at what was happening all around me I could see they were never fully equipped for such a war as they were in. They didn’t have the “Full Amour” on as they should have. As I watched each one on the battle field I thought OH MY GOD! The fiery darts of the enemy are hitting them on every side. They were not ready for such a battle as they were in because they either didn’t have the full amour on, or they lost parts while on the battle field.

This dream was so real to me. Then I woke up at 3:15 A.M. and got out of bed as I was so disturbed. I was up for a while but I knew I had to go back to bed for there was more to this dream I hadn’t yet dreamed.

I returned to this same dream. It was like watching a really bad movie: pausing it & restarting it to finish the movie. This was so far out there for me because I have never dreamed like this before in my life.

I went to sleep and the dream continued right where it had left off.

As I saw so many wounded (children of God) in this war zone of life I felt this strong cry for them from within myself. I had seen in the dream some were just being taught half truths & some were hearing the word but not adhering to it. This was such a dangerous place for all to be.

As the fiery darts of the enemy continued to hit them & wound them they began to fall because they were all so beat down & hurt with just a bandage over a large wound and being sent back out to fight in this big battle.

I awoke from this dream and was so disturbed; as I thought on it I realized these were all the children of the Most High God (Jesus Christ). This saddened me because I felt the hurts, the pain, the anxiety, the distress, the loss of hope (hopelessness), the despair they were all feeling.

As I thought more on this dream I realized there are those who are in the body of Christ who are not receiving all the nourishment (word / food) that they need to survive in this world we live in. I also felt there were those who had heard the word of God (the truth) and denied the power within. And when the word came to them they listened but didn’t hear because of the other voices in this world (the enemy).

Mark 4: 13-20
And He said to them, Do you not discern and understand this parable? How then is it possible for you to discern and understand all the parables?

The sower sows the Word.

The ones along the path are those who have the Word sown [in their hearts], but when they hear, Satan comes at once and by force takes away the message which is sown in them.

And in the same way the ones sown upon stony ground are those who, when they hear the Word, at once receive and accept and welcome it with joy;

And they have no real root in themselves, and so they endure for a little while; then when trouble or persecution arises on account of the Word, they immediately are offended become displeased, indignant, and resentful and they stumble and fall away.

And the ones sown among the thorns are others who hear the Word;

Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless.

And those sown on the good (well-adapted) soil are the ones who hear the Word and receive and accept and welcome it and bear fruit--some thirty times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some [even] a hundred times as much.

The word is to strengthen us, encourage us, build us up to make us strong as go fight the good fight of “Faith” until that day he (Jesus Christ) calls us all home there is a REAL WAR (BATTLE) we are in this life we live while on this earth.

Ephesians 6:11
Put on God's whole armor the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies, that you may be able successfully to stand up against ALL the strategies and the deceits of the devil.

There Is A Secret Place

There are times when you feel you’re all alone in this world with your own set of problems. Loneliness, Sickness, Loss of a Loved one, Financial Distress, Downhearted, Abandonment, with NO Hope & the list goes on.

The depression sets in, the mind becomes cloudy & your thoughts are all focused on the problems.

The fear of the unknown is overwhelming, and the thoughts of the problem allow YOU to go into a place of doubt & unbelief. This is an arena of whenever your focus has to change & your Beliefs have to kick into overdrive!

There is ONLY one place of ABSOLUTE. It found in the secret place of the most high.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Psalm 91

HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].

I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!

For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

[Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.

Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,(A)

There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.

For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].

They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.(B)

You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.(C)

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

This is as good as it gets! Our Hope, our Trust, & OUR FUTURE (ETERNITY) ARE IN HIS HANDS AS WE LEAN ON HIM KNOWING HE IS THE ONLY ANSWER TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS! IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
