Your Battle Is Here, Who's Got Your Back?

In whom shall you put your trust in life's battle? Ever wonder who is or will stand with you on the battlefield? Who has you covered, Who has your back? When we go to war we want to know that we are equipped to win.. The battle we all face and have to fight is the battle for our very souls and the souls for our love ones and friends and this battle has to be fought in the spirit.

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood , but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The devil is seeking whom he may devour, he comes against you in your home, your children, your marriage, your health, your finances, the work place, your family and friends. Anybody and anything he can use as an edge to destroy you and your love ones at any cost. We must understand Jesus has given us authority over the wiles of Satan, he has empowered each of us to defeat the enemy, we are conquers through him, by the power of His blood. We must put on the armor of our Lord and Saviour , and the first step to suiting up is accepting Jesus as Lord in our lives and in our hearts, His blood is our covering, without Jesus the battle is already lost, we have not hope or chance of winning....... He is our source, He has already won the battle for us. When he bore the cross and rose again on the third day, Victory was Won and the devil and his army were defeated!!!! We need to rest assure and know he will deliver us . Satan knows our weakness and this is where he is sure to strike. But our Father in heaven above also knows our weakness and he will make us strong in our weakness............

Psalms 46: 1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

We must still put on the whole armour of God, without it we will faint, and be knocked down. Once we suit up " stand " Give your battle to the Lord. This is the whole armour of God.

Ephesians 6:13-17) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all stand.

14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17) And take the helment of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, Which is the Word of God:

And knowing you are protected, face the battle, look it in the eye, the very name of Jesus will cause the enemy to flee, we have power just in his precious name alone, and he given to us authority to use his name, (this is our greatest weapon.) And in doing so no weapon formed against us shall prosper.

Isaiah 54: 17 No weapon formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

We must learn the power we have in Christ Jesus Our Lord, Feed upon the Word Of God, Defeat the enemy with the "Ever Living Word Of God." Put your faith in him, faith in action, which is speaking the word of God over your life and the lives of your love ones and friends, speak deliverance and salvation into their lives.

Speak Light into the darkness . In Jesus Name. Victory Is Ours Today!

Life's Journey And Where It Ends

Hebrews 13:14
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

Have we really given much thought on what is beyond today?
Our lives beyond what is here on earth?
Have you planned for your future?
Our lives here on earth will vanish away, our lives are as a vapour, a mist soon to be gone and forgotten.

James 4:14
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life?
It is even a vapour, that appeareth for little time, and then vanisheth away.

The road you choose to travel will decide your final destination.
The journey we take can be a hard one to make if we are unsure as to where we are going, and with whom we are making our journey with.
As we travel we need someone to guide us into the right direction, we will never find our way on our own.
Jesus Christ is our direction, without his guidance we are lost and will stay lost.
Christ wants to guide you on the most wonderful journey you would ever want to make,
and at the end of that journey he has a glorious home that awaits you for you to occupy for all eternity

John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.

But without the leading of Christ in our life's journey we will never see our wonderful home,
If we don't allow Jesus to direct, and we try and make this journey alone , then when we come to
the end of our road it will dead end.........
And once our road ends ( our life ) there is no turning around.
We are God's creation and we are here to only do the work of our Father, and he decides
what path we will take, he has our journey already drawn out, according to his plans and his purpose. We have no right to try and choose the road we want to take, that is his chose to make for us and ( his alone ) But he does give unto each of us a free will to choose and he wants us to willingly follow his guidance, wanting us to love him enough to follow him and not question the road he leads you on, just trust and obey and place your faith in him.
He is the way, the truth and the light......
Sometimes on life's journey we may miss our turn, not paying attention to the signs and our surrounding are not what we know they should be, but we can call upon our God, and repent for our lack of focus and he will steer us back into the right direction, and lead us home safely.

If you are on the wrong road, there is still time to make a u-turn.
Call upon Christ Jesus to save you, and to direct you.
He is your map and direction.
We are all journeying through to our home eternal.
Which home we choose is up to us.

Home Eternal- no rest for the soul, utter darkness, suffering, nashing of teeth,
Fire that burns and can never be put out.

Home Eternal- In Glory Land, resting in the loving arms of you Father God,
Where the Son Shines Everlasting.

Let's all choose and make our Journey a glorious one.
Choose Christ Jesus he is the Only Way.....................................

Pursue God's Promises Then Wait On God's Promise

Do you ever grow weary and think God does not care about you and the things you pray about and ask for are not coming to pass?
We all wonder about this very thing, but, there are sometimes reasons for why things seem not to come to pass.

1. Are we faithful in our part?
2. Have we surrendered our whole heart to God?

Are we praying in the will of God or are we praying according to what we think is best?

God tells us he will supply all our needs.

Phil 4:19

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

God wants to provide your every need and he wants us to prosper. God owns it all and there is nothing he wishes to withhold from his children.

1 Thess 5:24

Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Have you accepted the call of Christ? Have you really died to self? God wants us to be totally sold out to him in all areas of our lives and to trust him completely. God doesn't just want parts of us ( Bits and Pieces.) He wants your whole heart. He paid the price for you and I, purchased us with the blood of Jesus, paid all your debts. Paid in full by the blood of the lamb. He owns us, we belong to him.

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Are we doing his will,or are we doing our own will? Now if we purchase something than it belongs to us and we have all rights to do with it whatever is pleasing to us. Therefore does not Christ ownership of us, to do with us and place us according to his own will? His purpose? When we mummer and complain we hinder and sometimes miss out on the blessings and promises of God. When we pray God wants us to come in faith and believe he is able.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek him.

We must learn to pray in the will of God, not praying to obtain possessions or built up treasures on earth.God's Word is alive and all truth and works, if we just learn how to pray and ask according to God's word, which is his will and believe and not doubt, it shall come to pass.

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Matt 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing ye shall receive.

Matt 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, verily I say unto you, if ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

God wants us to prosper.

3 John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest proper and be in health, even as thy soul propereth.

When we begin to learn the word of God our souls do proper and we line up with the will of God and therefore we learn to pray in God's will and then we begin to see God's promises.
But we have the most magnificent promise of all from our Lord if we accept him and love him and keep the faith, we are promised an inheritance of Life Eternal, a crown we shall receive, joint heirs with Christ Jesus. We will walk on streets of gold, live in the presence's of God almighty eternally. God's time is not our time, don't try and put God on our time frame. He said ask and it shall be given but all things come in due season, all things are for the glory of God. God knows our every need and will supply them both physical and spiritual. All things come to those who wait on the Lord. Be patient, trust him, lean not to your own understanding. God will provide. He is our sole provider. Cast out all doubt. God is above all and more than able. Stand on his promises, The Word of God, He is all Truth.................

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering: ( for he is faithful that promised. )

Believe it , God said it, God will do it. God be the Glory.

Giving Respect And honor

One of our commandments:
Exodus 20: 12
Honour thy father and thy mother:
that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

God wants us to give honour unto our parents but even more so unto him.
He is above all fathers.
God is our only Father.............

Ephesians 4: 6
One God and Father of all who is above all, and in you all.

With all that is in the world today, our minds and hearts tend to forget and show little or no honour, or reverence to God our Father.
God is our sole means of existence, He giveth life and has all power to take life.
He is our very substance. Our every breathe we take.
He is the only reason we are here.
By Him and for him were we created..
Our hearts and minds sometimes tend to be so far away from God.
We often rebel and fall away from God, tracing out on our own thinking we really don't need
God in what we think are small things.
But the truth be known, God does not need us, we definitely need him.
But yet inspite of all our sins, he continues to love us unconditionally and substains us, protecting us from all evil and harm that tries to come against us.
continuing to provide for us to meet our needs.
He waits for us to realize we need him in everything that we do in our lives, and to follow his leading and obey his command and respect that he is leading us to what is best for us, holding
our hand to get us there safely.
We sometimes only cry out to him when we are or think we are in need of a miracle, or, we feel
things are not going our way.
Our way is not God's way.
How sad for us that we can not understand you want so much more than that, you want to have a close relationship with each of your children and that you love us and want to communicate with
us and that you are so much more than just our quick fix in a time of what we feel is a crisis.
God is an awesome God.
God's spirit within us is what gives us the ability to love, but yet we have lost our first love "HIM."
When we go out on our own we lose our way, we become blinded and our heart begins to become hardened.
Satan is in pursuit of your soul and he thinks if he gets your mind and eyes on everything else the world has to offer and off the Lord he has won.
Satan is the god of this world.

2 Cor 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them, which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine
unto them.

The world is a very dark and lonely place without any light shining.
But thanks be to our Father he sent his marvelous light unto us, " Jesus Christ."
He is our light and direction.

John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Jesus brings us into a Holy relationship with our Father.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Christ brings us into obedience through his own obedience, " The Cross. "

Matt 26:39
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O Father,
if it be possible let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
wilt.

We should no longer be children of disobedience, but, children of obedience through Christ Jesus. We should show honour to our Father, we are the righteousness of God the Father through the shedding of the blood of Jesus.
We finally know how to love because he first loved of us.
What pure love, unconditional love, everlasting love.

• God's Love - He sent Jesus
• Jesus Love - The Cross, A lamb for slaughter
• Our Love should be - serve the Lord God with all your heart, all your mind, all your strength. Serve no other god.

Exodus 20:3 Thou shall have no other gods before me.

Love one another as Christ loves us. This is not hard when we become children of God, God places this kind of love within us through the spirit he places within us. Put God first in all that you do, he wants so much to be your Father, one like you have never known, Nothing compares. He Loves You.........

Trust Him to lead you into all good things and his blessings pour out upon you that you can not contain.

Seek God's guidance in all things, become the children he wants us to be. Give God glory and, He deserves our upmost honour and respect.

The Body Of Christ

Ephesians 5:30
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

When we think about our physical bodies, we look upon the parts that make up our bodies,
arms, hands, legs, feet and we we see our reflections in a mirror, we see our head, eyes, nose, mouth, ears........
Our body parts are fitted together to make a whole and it performs the tasks that are needed to be done. But the head is the main drive for the body it is the relay center, harddrive, " the brain" it sends the message to the body parts and when the message is received, they react accordingly, without even thinking,( instant, automatic.)
The moment we are born our brains begin to develop, we begin to learn to speak, walk, and even how to feed our bodies, these things we develop day by day.
We take for granted that everything is fine and we feel very much incontrol of our lives, but I
know and Thank God that only by the loving hand of God I am able to even take my first breathe each morning. God's love and grace substains me and carries me through.
God wants us to be strong in our physical bodies, but he want so much more for us to be strong
in the Spiritual Body, " This Body, The Body Of Christ Jesus."
We as God's children are members of a more excellent body a Glorious Body.
Christ is the head of the body......

Colossians 1:18
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Romans 12:4
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office.

The same as our Physical bodies have many parts but they perform different duties for our bodies.
The body of Christ is also made up of many different parts to perform the duties of the Lord,
according to his purpose.

2 Tim.1: 9
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus
before the world began.

When we accept Christ as our Lord and savior, we are born again, a new birth, a spiritual birth.
Now being babies in our spiritual body, we must grow and develop the same as when we were physically born.
The Physical body grows strength with food, water, exercise.
The spiritual body grows strength fro the living water " Jesus Christ" and the word of God, which is our daily bread which we feed upon and then we begin to grow strong and start to mature. But we often times neglect our spiritual body, " Christ Body " and we grow weak and become somewhat paralyzed.
The Head Of The Body Is Christ and the body of Christ Is " US " ,We should be strong through him and we can be if we allow him to lead.
But we show little movement, our arms hang down not wanting to praise and worship our Father, Our hands do not reach out to others, our ears will not hear the cries and brokenness of
others. Our mouth remain closed when our lips should speak hope and salvation to others and the reason being we are weak, we have not nourished our bodies, our spirit is dying within us, we
can not hear the message sent to us.
Once we begin to take care of our spiritual body through the Living Word Of God, and begin to listen with our hearts, we will hear what the head " Christ " is speaking, the message being
sent, we will react, instant, automatic,through the leading of the spirit.
We the body are to be lead by the spirit.

Galatians 5: 25
If we live in the spirit let us also walk in the spirit.

To live and walk in the spirit we must practice it "daily."
Make time for God " Our Father"
Get alone with God- Prayer time, communications.
Read and Meditate on his word, daily.
practice speaking God's Word.
Give Honour and thanks to God for what he's already done.
Have faith in God and place your trust solely in him.
Then be still and listen with your heart to what God has to say to you.
If you are born again and a part of the Body Of Christ then just put your trust in him " Believe"
God can and will use you and God be the Glory.

Phil. 4: 13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me

1 Cor 3: 9
For ye are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, Ye are God's building.

Ephesians 2: 22
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the spirit.

Let us Let God reign in our bodies and Christ Jesus in our hearts and shine through us everyday.
Let's get unparalyzed and be renewed in strength and get our parts moving for our Lord.
Let Christ Lead
" There is no greater leader.
He is King Of Kings, Lord Of Lords and has paid the ultimate price,
" The Cross " The shedding of His Own Blood.................
For a perfect bride " US " The Body.
He is so Worthy of our praise and we should be willing working parts of him, ( to do whatever he may ask of us. )

May God Bless And Keep You And Guide You In All Truth.
