The Name

Never will the Word of God pass away; Jesus, the living Word remained with the disciples although His physical presence had gone. The Word was with them and in them. The disciples recognized that the Word made flesh and dwelt among them, and they knew they had His power. Miracles were wrought as they used the power: the sick were healed, devils cast out, signs and wonders took place in the Name of Jesus. The One whom people had hated so much that they had crucified Him was the very One in whose Name they would find salvation.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

-Acts 4:12

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I Am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
-Matthew 28:19-20

After The Resurrection

The Word

The Holy Spirit is here to put the Word of God into action through each of us. You can be spiritually dried up or you can be alive in the spirit of God. Sad, downcast or full of joy in the Holy Ghost: which do you prefer? The joy in the Holy Ghost is yours when you begin to do the works of Jesus and to learn His Word. 

 

 Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.

-John 2:19 

The way the disciples yielded to God is our example; what they did is what we can do. Filled with the Holy Ghost, anointed and quickened by the Word, they preached convincing people of Its power. The disciples took full advantage of the power God made available to them through the Name, the Word and the Holy Ghost. We too can be a mighty force for God, victorious in the Lord. It's all written in the Bible; it's all there for us. The early church disciples knew they were new creations, and they yielded to the Holy Ghost one hundred percent. Everything Jesus had told them would happen in their day had been fulfilled; His resurrection proved that death had no power over Him.

Complete, In Jesus

Through Jesus Christ we are furnished with everything we need- all good works. It's His life working in us. We are complete in Him. God offers the whole Christ for the whole you. Until you met His conditions, until you acknowledged your sins before Him, until you realized that your soul was in a lost state, you did not have deliverance. But when you knew that He died for you and accepted Him as Savior, He atoned for your sins. You found no longer a judgment seat for your life, you found a mercy seat. There is no atonement for mankind except through Jesus Christ. The Old Testament age is over and done. For now it has to be the real thing.

That the man of God may be perfect,

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

-2 Timothy 3:17

For sin shall not have dominion over you: 

for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

                                                                       -Romans 6:14

If you are complete, there is no scarcity, no need for anything else. Anything complete is finished. Done. The atonement has been made for us; within our reach are all things needed. Do you need something for your soul? Reach out and receive salvation. If you need financial blessings, reach out; the Lord has given His promises to the obedient. the Lord brought deliverance, made atonement for your sins so you could avoid going back into sin.

Great River Of Love

Our Full Spiritual Inheritance

We live in the Holy Ghost dispensation. The Holy Ghost came as Christ's Executor to put into action in our lives all the blessings of redemption that have been willed to us to bring, in Biblical language, the earnest of the first fruits of our spiritual and our physical inheritance until our last enemy, death is destroyed. The Holy Ghost is here to usher us into our full spiritual inheritance. We can have it all: deliverance for soul, mind and body.

When you receive Jesus, you have the divine life of God flowing in your soul, the divine happiness of heaven: joy unspeakable and full of glory. By accepting the blood, you accept the atonement for your soul. The same place that provided healing for your soul provides healing for your body. Calvary, when you think of Calvary, think of victory; your actions should show you have victory. Delight in the Lord, knowing that through the blood of Jesus you conquer because He conquered for you with His blood. That blood is ours; the power of the blood is ours and the power of His healing in the atonement is ours.

The Secret

The Book of Acts contains three secrets of the success of the early church. Learning those three secrets paves the way into the fullness and prosperity of God. Embrace those secrets, hug them to your soul, mind and heart daily and you will find the spirit of God's prosperity resting upon you. God will then be free to bless you in any way He wants. Learning the three secrets brings the spirit of humility as you see God's blessings going into action in your life. The more God blesses you, the greater the spirit of humility becomes.

Grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy WORD,  

by stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done 

by the NAME of thy holy child Jesus. 

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together, 

and they were all filled with the HOLY GHOST, 

and they spake the word of God with boldness.

-Acts 4:29-31

The Atonement

Jesus gave all of Himself, soul, mind and body- to redeem the souls, minds, spirits and bodies of mankind. The devil has robbed man of financial prosperity, spiritual prosperity and physical prosperity. Everything lost in the fall of man Jesus brought back for us in His atonement on Calvary. The soul was bought back with a great price: the spilled blood of Christ. He paid the price to redeem us from bondage. Many do not realize what Christ's death on the Cross means nor take advantage of the benefits. All His benefits include financial blessings as well as physical and spiritual blessings.

Ye are bought with a price.
-1 Corinthians 7:23

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, 

and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, 

for that all have sinned. 

-Romans 5:12

Jesus The Redeemer

Man was under a curse that came when Adam and Eve sinned and God drove them from the Garden of Eden. Living under the curse, man found it was a hard life. He didn't have anything near the quality of life he once enjoyed in the Garden. Jesus came to redeem us from the curse of sin, being made a curse in our stead. He made atonement; He was the sacrifice that reconciled man to God.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, 

being made a curse for us: for it is written, 

Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. 

-Galatians 3:13

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, 

that He might destroy the works of the devil.

-1 John 3: 8

The Bible declares that Jesus redeemed us from our sins, that healing was in atonement. All the Old Testament types of the coming Jesus-atonement included from the body as well as for the soul. Since bodily healing in types and shadows is taught throughout the Old Testament as part of the atonement, since these types and shadows prefigured the Cross, why can't we have healing, we who do not live under types and shadows but under the reality of Calvary. We have all the benefits of the Cross, but we must claim and use them.

God's Promises

Every promise God has made for us is conditional. All the wonderful promises of God are willed to us, but there is something for us to do. When we have a need- spiritual, physical, or financial, we must put our foot on the promise, so to speak and hold it fast by doing what God says do. We cannot expect it to be ours unless we meet the condition. The Lord said He would give the Holy Ghost to them who obey Him. It's essential for us to meet the conditions of God's promises for the miracles and healing to be ours, soul, mind and body.

"SALVATION"

The promise of salvation is conditional,

  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just 

and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 

-1 John1:9 

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, 

that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 -John 3:16

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: 

and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; 

but the wrath of God abideth on him.

-John 3:36

Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, 

He gave the right to become children of God—

-John 1:12

If you declare with your mouth, 

“Jesus is Lord,” 

and believe in your heart that God raised Him 

from the dead, you will be saved. 

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, 

and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Romans 10: 9-10

The Detour (On My Way Home)

 "FIX YOU"

It's like I have missed almost half of my life wandering aimlessly on a road where love and pain breathe the same air. Long suffering, blindfolded, I could not see the "love road" that God has promised me. I needed a lot of patient to learn contentment. God was there when the whole world turned away, I should have known earlier. I'm done with waiting for the coffee to pour itself in my cup. I came to the point where I didn't see how much He cared about me, and the thought of being alone was slowly eating me inside. All I have ever known was that I have been hurt too much and things just don't go the way I wanted them to be, seemed like everything I did ended up with the same outcome. I spent a lot of quiet time writing under the sunset, I felt like I was left on the bend. I saw how my life passed me by. I have always believed I needed the rain to be happy. Then I've realized what I need is the courage to admit that I was wrong. I know that I am almost done with this long and winding journey. I am holding on to the childlike faith inside my heart, I am giving "detour" its true meaning. No more questions. The search is over- back Home again.

Therefore we do not lose heart. 

Though outwardly we are wasting away, 

yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 

For our light and momentary troubles 

are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, 

but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, 

but what is unseen is eternal. 

-2Corinthians 4: 16-18


I have learned from pain and suffering. I understood that in every breaking, God has a purpose. Allow God to break what is needed to be broken. It's not to hurt you or to make your life miserable but to mold and fix you the way He wants you to become, according to His divine will- perfect and acceptable in His eyes.

Divine Priest Of Righteousness

Melchisedec, the priest first mentioned in the Holy Bible is of the same order as Christ, a priest of the devine will of God, a priest of righteousness and holiness. He reigned in Salem for one hundred and thirteen years history tells us. He died a righteous man and a bachelor; he never married. He had the divine blood in his soul, for he was a priest of the most high God. The two great priests of all time are not recognized by the Jews. This demonstrates only one way man has hindered God.

Jesus is the priest of the most high God, bringing a new covenant and doing away with the old. Plainly the book of Hebrews tells us that Jesus did away with the old covenant and became the only priest. God changed the law of priesthood because it didn't work. He sent the priest Jesus, the King of kings, in a takeover by the Gospel; but the Jews would not accept the takeover that was offered to them. When the Jews rejected Jesus, God turned to the Gentiles and grafted them in.Through Moses, God commanded that the high priest be chosen from among the brethen, from the family of Aaron.

"Verily they that are of the sons of Levi,who receive the office of the priesthood, 
have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, 
that is, of their brethen, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: 
But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, 
and blessed him that had the promises."

-Hebrews 7:5-6

 

The priest whom Abraham paid tithes to, Melchisedic, did not come from Abraham. Abraham had the promises, but this priest had a higher place in God than Abraham. Abraham was less and he was blessed of the better, God's priest of righteousness. Levi paid tithes through Abraham and Abraham paid tithes to Melchisedic. Perfection did not come through the Levitical priesthood, through the order of Aaron, but through Jesus. Jesus is not called after the order of Aaron.

"And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater. In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; 
but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. One might even say that Levi, 
who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,because when Melchizedek met Abraham, 
Levi was still in the body of his ancestor. If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood
—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood —why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?"

-Hebrews 7:7-11

Seek God Above All Else

Seek the face of God above all else. Don't speak possessions; don't seek for the need. Seek the Lord. Seek His righteousness, His help, all that He offers; and He will add the other. Walk with God and God will walk with you. This is the way to prosperity. Cast your nets on the right side, into the promises of God. Cast your nets on the right side, not into your theories, not into doubts and fears that the enemy brings when he whispers that you can never make it and you'll never succeed. Cast your nets on the right side and you'll be what God wants you to be as you yield to Him. Keep casting your nets into the promises of God on the right side and you will prosper spiritually, physically and financially. Let Him open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing so great you won't be able to contain it all. 

So don't worry, saying. "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" For the pagans run after all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 

Matthew 6:31-33

Jubilee: Healing For The Soul

This is the Year Of Jubilee and redemption is ours! Freedom, liberty- Jesus brought them. According to the Preacher, some do not enjoy the year of Jubilee because they do not know that they are free. The devil tries to tell us that we are in bondage and we have the tendency to believe it . The enemy catches our attention, intimidates us and we find ourselves sitting in one corner looking down at our toes. We get depressed that even the weather greatly affects our mood. Think of the Old Testament days, when the trumpet sounded, all they could think of was their possessions had been returned to them. They had them back and didn't owe anyone. They were no longer in bondage. 

  Acceptable Year of The Lord: healing for soul, mind and body, healing for the whole person, prosperity for the whole you, not just prosperity for the part of you, but for all of you.

It is marvelous to live in the Acceptable Year of the Lord, but many are not taking advantage of this Jubilee time because they have not heard the Gospel trumpet, their preachers have not preached it. Instead, people have been taught they can not be free from sin, cannot be healed of disease  and afflictions, that God is not really concerned about their finances. When God promised to supply all our needs, that means ALL. The Year of Jubilee that that God planned for the Gospel age won't close until the Bride of Christ is taken from the earth.

An Eagle Or A Sparrow?

God wants you to mount up like the eagle, enjoying the storm, riding over the thunderheads. Stay above the troubles in life; don’t let them pull you down. Troubles can pile on top of you with such weigh that you no longer are able to do the will of God, to pray, read the Word or to journey on; all joy in the Lord has gone. It’s time to mount up, time to ride those storms instead of letting the storms ride you. Are you so tired, weary and devoid of peace that you feel you cannot go on with God. Never let the storms of life beat you into the ground, keeping you from looking up to heaven. Mount ever upward, higher and higher into the grace and love of God, into His faith, goodness, righteousness and into the power of the Holy Ghost. Feel God’s strength taking you closer to Him over the trials and troubles of life as the boiling storm rolls on underneath. Every storm has a force and a power to be used for destruction or be harnessed for gain. The eagle harnesses it to lift and bear him up until he reaches the place where there is no longer a need to struggle. He just spread his wings as the wind keeps him aloft, as he mounts higher and higher. Isn’t that better than the little sparrow with his beak stuck in the mud of the valley, scared to death of the crashing thunder and wicked lightning? The Holy spirit will help you to be the eagle Christian if you give yourself over to Him. The hour has come that the Lord is calling all who will answer to become eagle Christians. No one is left out, not even the weak; it all depends on what you want to be in this final hour. An eagle or a sparrow?

Troubles

Sometimes we are falling short in our prayer life, feeling out of place and uncertain of what to say, not uplifted in the prayer chamber because we have not been speaking to ourselves. Everyone talks to himself, if the words are not of faith they’re of doubt. Words can be filled with happiness and encouragement or unhappiness and discouragement. How do we talk to ourselves? The conversation, the ideas that pass between the “faith you” and the "feeling you” are important. Which one out-talks the other. Do you turn your troubles over and over in your mind, dragging up all the slights both large and small that have ever come your way? If so, you are sinking your own boat. Rid ourselves of weighs that sink, cast down and cause depression, let’s not keep them on our minds nor open the door for them. The statement ” you don’t know what a hard time i have” is the biggest stone of all, it will take us right to muddy bottom.

No one has it easy in these days. Learn to enjoy the little things in life and to discount your troubles. Do not keep suffering over things for which Christ has already paid. What He has paid for; we are free to use.

Sin

Sin cannot enter heaven. If you cannot live free from sin, how can the Lord present you faultless before the Father? It can't be done. To walk the Love Road you must be free from all sin, and you can do that by walking into righteousness and holiness just as Jesus walked when He was here on earth. If you do not have enough of God's love yet, if you have not found enough of Him to satisfy you, to convince you that you can walk, talk and be like Him, then seek Him in greater way. He is able to keep you from falling, to keep you from drifting back into sin if you want to stay out of it. Walk in the light, not fulfilling the lust of the flesh. Keep victory over the flesh; keep your body holy by the power of the Holy Ghost. What you serve the inner man either keeps you clean and holy or else defiles you. You can not commit sin and still remain pure in spirit. You cannot obey the lust of the flesh and be a part of God. Sin that takes over the mortal body destroys the inner man. Yield not to unrighteousness, but yield yourself unto God as one alive from the dead. Yield to God with joy and gratitude; yield with every part of your being. Yield the member of your body as instruments of righteousness. it's a valuable life that is really born new, free from all sin. That life has impact. Anyone made new through the blood of Christ  in a miraculous person in the eyes of God, miraculous because God has made him clean. Salvation is God's miracle; man can not save himself. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace. The soul who sins is the one who will die. Saying that none can live free from sin in this present world is calling God a liar. Do you think anyone could be saved and still call God a liar? Think about it...

Sex

Sex was meant to be holy. Only through man’s eyes and man’s actions has it become degraded, an object of laughter and amusement. How disgusting when parents evade with nervous embarrassment the perfectly frank, honest questions about sex their children ask. Those questions deserve equally frank answers, and when they are not forthcoming, the child becomes confused. Many have gotten into trouble because they did not know the truth. Only by knowing the truth are people able to recognize the falsehoods. Teach the child that sex is something to be discussed in the privacy of the family, not information to be broadcast to everyone within earshot. Side-stepping your children questions will cause them to look elsewhere for the answers.

People close their eyes to the judgment of God and then claim they can sin and still go to heaven. Death is pronounced upon adulterers. Couples separate over nothing and then marry someone else. Many today commit adultery and have no conscience about it. ” Whosoever shall put his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery and whoso marry her which is put away do commit adultery”. Adultery, the first work of the flesh, refers to a married person having sexual intercourse outside of his or her own marriage. One cannot walk in the flesh, fulfilling the lust of the flesh, and walk in the Spirit too. Fornication is any unlawful sexual intercourse, and this includes shacking-up and common-law marriages. The Lord said you take pleasure in sin, you have no part in His Kingdom. Having intercourse without first being joined together by God is a sin. God gave you a mouth and backbone and if you use both in the right way, you will please the Lord.

Today people laugh about someone being a virgin, but to be clean before God is a fearful thing. God helps us to stand holy in His presence, to know what we are in His eyes.

Sweet Or Sour?

Joy is something that can be used to bless you or can be kept in reserve for security. Use the joy in your life; draw on it by counting your blessings. Use that peace God produces, the devine peace of God that He brings to you through the Holy Spirit in your life. Frustrations and troubles can be your constant companions unless you use God’s divine peace in your life. Stop rehashing old problems. Looking at the world, seeing the chaos that grips it, give you little room for peace. Separate the things in your life that you can handle yourself from those things that are for the Lord to work out.
If you are short of patience, stop yielding to your own spirit and begin yielding to the Holy Spirit. Your spirit can produce good, bad, fair, scrubby or sour fruit. Do you like crab apples? You see others enjoying those good apples and wish you could have them too, you long for the joy that you see in others, not realizing that you already have it but have not used it. God has produce large juicy delicious apples that could just melt in your mouth. God brought joy into our lives but if we will not allow them to work for us, we are eating sour fruits. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

Are Not You Tired?

Aren't you tired of being on muddy bottom? Don't you want to be free of depression, oppression, despair, fear and doubt. Aren't you tired of not being happy when God definitely states that the joy of the Lord is your strength. Aren't you tired of not enjoying the blessings of God? Aren't you tired of grieving the Holy Spirit? Aren't you tired of making the Holy Spirit wait to get to you to the top just to give you a little bit of vision? Get tired of the muddy bottom. Fear will come for the moment, but don't let it stay. It has to go if you don't entertain it, don't carry it. Carry the love of God in your heart, the things of God only. Carry the fire of the Holy Ghost, not the fire of destruction from the enemy, not the fires of sin. The things of life on muddy bottom are not for us to worry about. Jesus came to change the waters of life for the human race. Sweet waters were all that man was ever to have tasted, nothing less, no bitterness in the water ever. But when he sinned, a man put bitterness in his own water, destroyed his own water, the water of life. The power of the mantle changes life because it has all the strength you need to always bring the axe head from the muddy bottom. The power of the mantle is the only way you're going to raise things out of the muddy bottom of life, the only way to get that axe head swimming. Know that the iron will swim, clearing the waters for you, and you'll be able to see in faith. Some days it will seem as though you can see all the way to the throne of God, to rapture day, to the hour we will reap the final harvest throughout the whole earth. Treasure the water of life that gushes forth from your innermost being. Mount up with wings like the eagle. Then you'll rise above the storms, above the muddy waters, riding out the storm on wings of love, grace, trust and confidence.

Remember Who You Are

Ask the Lord where your weaknesses are, what is wrong with your life; but make sure you are ready to hear the answer. God will give you nothing but the truth. Don't make emotionally unbalanced people who turn against the power of God alarm you. Hold on to God, the real thing. Dig the sand out of your foundation and be not easily shaken. Serve God, live for Him and know the truth. Never allow yourself to be in the position of compromising with God. Salvation is something that even though it may not always be felt, day after day it keeps people from sinning. At times you may walk in the valley for miles without feeling your salvation; the Bible didn't promise we would always feel saved; the Bible said, we would live and live by faith, not by feelings. Without faith you cannot please God. The Holy Spirit does not hold unknowing sin against you, but the Holy Spirit will move upon you to let you know when your actions are wrong. Fear not! Let not your heart be troubled or afraid. Do not allow the enemy to fool you or puff you up. The enemy tried to deceive Christ; you know he will try to deceive you, he can fool those who are strong in the Lord into believing they are worth nothing and getting nowhere in their prayer life. Remember, each sincere prayer is asking, not for your will but for the will of the Father to be done. The Lord did hear your prayer, but He is working it out according to His own will because that is your desire. Leave it in His hands. The enemy will make you believe you are nothing, but when you are saved, you are a Child of the King, born of the Spirit of God, don't you ever forget that!

Salvation

 

For this is what the Lord says: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenant— to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever. And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be His servants, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to My covenant— these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." The Sovereign Lord declares— he who gathers the exiles of Israel: “I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered.”

Adultery

 

You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do

Love

 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind m. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
