DON’T BE BLINDSIDED BY THE TRADITIONS OF MAN
Contrary to what some people are saying, there are not many ways to heaven…
Read John 14:6 Jesus is saying, I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the father but by me. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand what he is saying
Don’t let yourself be blinded by what people are saying. Some of them don’t have the first idea what the WORD is saying. Jesus is the only way to the Father and heaven.
It is time to teach the truth and to look for the truth, we are about to come face to face with the one who died to save us from the lake of fire, the one who shed his blood to pay for our sins and iniquities. He has made it possible for us to spend eternity with Him.
It is time that we believe what the word of God is saying, that Jesus came to set us free. We can’t live a life of sin and still go to heaven. We can’t forget God and Jesus all week and think it is ok.
In John 10: 10 Jesus is saying I am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly. Open your heart to the word, so that you might know what the word of God is saying. That is where your abundance is. That is how to obtain all that heaven has to offer to you.
John 10: 27 says, “my sheep (people) hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me.”
Verse 28 says “and I give them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
Because of Adams sin in the garden of Eden we were lost to the world, we were separated from God, we had lost our connection to him. We needed a savior and Jesus Christ was the one who came to save us. To go to heaven you must believe that Jesus is your savior.
Heaven is a real place, hell is a real place. God our creator is real. His son Jesus real, and what he did at Calvary made it possible for us to be heirs to the throne. Children of God.
We can’t keep living sinful lives and expect God to turn his head. He won’t. We must repent and live a Christ like walk.
It is getting close to the time of Jesus’ return. We must be ready. Stay prayed up and keep watching for Him. Keep in His word. Let Him know daily you love Him and are trying to live right for Him.
In His love,
Brother Andy.
The perils of unbelief
THE PERILS OF UNBELIEF
Read Eph. 2:2 It is saying here that all of us have followed the ways of this present world, and it’s spiritual ruler. This ruler continues to work in people who refuse to obey God.
We follow the desires of our corrupt nature, and we do what our nature desires. Even though in Gods mercy and his great love for us, he gave us life together with Christ and has given us a position in heaven with Him. God saved us through faith as an act of kindness, being saved is a gift from God.
Eph. 2: 8 says we are saved by grace. That grace is free. Accessed by faith and only by faith, and it only comes through Jesus Christ.
Heb 11: 1 is saying “now faith is the substance of things hoped for, The evidence of things not seen.” Faith is a substance that produces a reality of things hoped for, through righteousness by the word of God and through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
Rom 8:28 says… and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. It takes faith to make all things work.
2nd Peter 1: 1 says… we obtain precious faith through righteousness of God and our savior Jesus Christ.
Rom 12 :13 goes on to say, according as God has delt to every man the measure of faith. Lack of faith is not the reason most people don’t receive the manifestation of God, it is the unbelief of the word and the will of God. Get rid of the unbelief and faith will work.
The presence of unbelief will always short circuit your measure of faith. If you overload the electrical circuit breakers in your house, it will stop the flow of power to your lights.
When you apply unbelief to your faith just like the circuit breaker, it will stop the measure of faith in your life. The measure of faith never leaves a Christian.
So you ask, how do I deal with unbelief. How many times have you believed and still there was a struggle going on inside of you.
Remember you can’t be tempted with anything without thinking about it. The battle with Christians is in the mind and having thoughts of doing wrong things.
It is not in the realm of the Holy Spirit, don’t let outside reports distract you from where you are going, don’t let the spirit of fear determine or dominate your life.
Unbelief comes in different ways, it comes from not knowing, because of wrong teachings. it also comes from your natural senses, like what you see or what you think and what you are focused on.
You need to know they are wrong and reject them from your thoughts. The way to know what God wants is to stay in His Word all the answers are there in the Word. Seek Him out. Choose God and not the traditions of man.
The Lord bless you,
Brother Andy

TO RECEIVE IS TO BELIEVE
TO RECEIVE IS TO BELIEVE
Read John 15 : 7 If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.
Abide means to believe and continue in God’s word. So many times people, even Christians will put all their effort into trying to figure out how to receive all the blessings God has for them.
When Jesus died at the cross, and said it is finished. What he was trying to get across to us was that he had taken care of our sins with his shed blood, he had taken care of our sickness and diseases by his stripes.
By going to the pit of hell as a guarantee to made available a new covenant so you could have life abundantly and access all heaven has to offer.
Problem is not what Jesus did but rather what we believe and abide in, or trust in. Even though Jesus has made everything available to us, if we don’t reach out and take it we will never have it.
The way to receive the things of God is through faith in the righteousness of God.
Mathew 6: 33 is telling us to seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
2nd Corinthians 5: 7 says we walk by faith and not by sight. To many of us live by what we see and not by faith.
Hebrews 11:6 says… but without faith it is impossible to please God. God is a rewarder to those who seek him.
The problem is a lot of people (Christians included) keep trying to do and get things under their own strength, thinking with carnal minds, instead of trusting the Holy Spirit to lead us in the ways of the Lord.
God loves us and has made available all that heaven has to offer. As believers and children of God you have a right to receive it. We must go by what the word says in order to receive.
Romans 8: 14 says…. For many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons and daughters of God.
Romans 8: 17 and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ Jesus. We are not throw away people, we are the Holy Spirit, anointed children of God and heirs to His kingdom.
Don’t be deceived by the devil and what people say, you are a Kings kid, stand up and act like it. Get up every day and say… I am the righteousness of God, and no weapon formed against me will prosper.
Be blessed in the Lord,
Brother Andy

LIVING A BLESSED LIFE
Even in life today, you can live a very good, prosperous and happy life.
As you read these next few words, take a deep breath, relax and let the words penetrate your very soul.
I am teaching today on Gods grace and why Christians are not receiving all the blessings they are entitled to.
Before the cross, the people, mostly the Jewish, lived under the law of Moses. It is known as the ten commandments, they also lived under thousands of other laws,
Mankind could not keep all the Laws. God designed the laws to show people they needed a savior.
First of all the old covenant, the law of Moses, was never intended for the gentiles, It was for the Jewish people.
The new covenant started at the cross, When Jesus died and said “it is finished” all mankind had access to all the provisions God had for mankind. It was designed to be gotten through His son, Jesus Christ.
The grace of God and His love for you is nearly too good to be true, it is a gospel that is over the top. The new covenant of grace leads us out of the covenant of the Law.
The only thing God asks us to do is love His Son enough to accept what he did at the cross.
You might say, well you don’t know all the wrong I have done in my life.
How can God love someone like me. Well did he love David or Moses or even Paul, these three people wrote almost all the bible and all three were murderers.
Just because you have missed the mark a few times does not mean God stopped loving you.
You can’t do enough bad to make God stop loving you, and you can’t do enough good to make Him love you more. God loves you in spite of anything you can do.
One of the problems of today is even Christians get over into the Law of Moses and try to do good works to gain favor with God.
When you get over into the old covenant of the law, you step out from the new covenant of grace, and the blessings will stop.
Why do they stop, because you are leaving God out of the picture and trying to do things in your own power. He can’t bless you if you try to live under the old covenant.
Religion teaches that you go to hell because of your sin, and people don’t realize that Jesus died and took our sin. Past, present and future, and they, (sins) are cast away, but that is another message.
If you want to be blessed and have Gods favor on your life, do this, start by accepting Jesus as Lord of your life. When you do that the Holy Spirit will seal your spirit .
He will lead you and release all the secret things unto you and reveal Gods word into your spirit.
Only one sin will keep you out of heaven. Not accepting Jesus as Lord and savior. It won’t be because you missed the mark a few times and sinned.

SANCTIFIED
Read John 17: 13-19... Jesus is about to return to heaven and is praying to the Heavenly Father.
He is saying to the father, keep them from evil, for they are not of this world as I am not of this world. ..He is speaking here of the believers
Sanctify them through the truth, for the word is truth. For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through truth.
John 8: 32 says… and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
Being sanctified means made holy, or set apart for sacred services.
A sanctifier is a person or thing that sanctifies or makes holy… specifically, the Holy Spirit.
Sanctify or to make holy, means free from sin or to purify… To set apart as holy to make sacred. Sanctification just means to be sanctified…
There are different levels of sanctification, they are connected to your levels of spiritual growth and maturity.
The first manifestation of sanctification is at the moment of conversion…(accepting Jesus as the Lord and Savior)… believing He gave his life so your life could be saved.
The first manifestation happens when a person becomes a believer by receiving Jesus through the new blood covenant upon their confession of faith.
At that time, God sets you apart as sons and daughters through this new covenant, instantly at this time the Holy Spirit seals your spirit.
We are sanctified by the word, by the blood, by the Holy Spirit, and by separating yourself from unclean things. Read 2nd Corr. 6: 17-18
Heb 13: 11-12 says… we are sanctified by the blood of Jesus
Under the old covenant (which is the Mosaic Law) the chief priest would bring the blood of animals into the holy place as an offering for sin.
Since the new covenant, by the blood of Jesus, all our sins past, present and future have been washed away, if you have accepted him as Lord and Savior.
Read Eph 5:26-27... It is saying the church has been made holy by the spoken word. So Jesus could present it to Himself as a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle, holy without fault.
Read Heb 10: 28-31... Under the law, if two or three witnesses accuse someone of rejecting Moses teachings, that person was shown no mercy and he was executed.
What do you think a person who shows no respect for the Son of God deserves? That person looks at the blood , the blood that made him holy as no different from other peoples blood.
He insults the very spirit that God gave out of his loving kindness. This person deserves a much worse punishment, God says, I alone have the right to take revenge.
Falling into the hands of the living God is a terrifying thing. The Lord will judge you if you are not sanctified by the word, the blood and his Holy Spirit.
If you are a believer, Gods mercy, Gods grace and the truth will set you free.
May the truth be with you,
Be blessed, Brother Andy
STOP GRIEVING THE HOLY SPIRIT
Read Math 12: 32 Understanding the word of God, the will of God and the importance of who the Holy Spirit is. You need the ability to place biblical facts in a proper perspective in your daily walk.
The Holy Spirit is the giver of peace, not the vexation (or) torment the devil puts on you…
Isaiah 10: 27 says… The Holy Spirit is a yoke breaker. The yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing.
The power of the Holy Spirit being released upon or within a person can break the thought patterns and emotional burdens on the Christians life…
Once this yoke is broken, then a feeling of peace will settle over you.
Read Rom 14: 17.… When the chains or yokes of depression and oppression are broken, these emotional and spiritual chains will be replaced by peace.
There is Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit…To have peace is to be in a state of mind where the mind and body are free from mental frustrations.
Peace is so important to God that in
Numbers 25: 12 he spoke of giving his people a covenant of peace. Read Romans 5: 11 the Holy Spirit provides a level of peace
Living in sin produces discord, but forgiveness of sin produces peace with God.
Read John 16: 13 When we ignore the Holy Spirits call, instruction and direction, we open the door for satin that leads to actions of disobedience
Love, compassion and affection are all imparted by the Holy Spirit.
The word of God is based on Facts
Knowledge is the accumulation of facts
Understanding is the arrangement of facts
It is the ability through the Holy Spirit to place biblical facts in a proper perspective. The word of God and the Holy Spirit are an unbeatable team
Gods word is powerful, we are not living on blind faith, but the foundation of truth…
The Holy Spirit touches the emotional part of the human spirit, without emotions, there is no motivation. That is why you FEEL the presence of the Holy Spirit in a powerful worship service.
When Worship and praise are released in the service and everyone is in one accord, you can always feel the presence of the Holy Spirit…
When a church rejects any form of emotion in their worship service, the anointing of the Holy Spirit can not work, or inter in…He works through love, peace, joy and faith, in the word of God.
I have learned that God does not always work through perfect vessels. Not all believers have reached the heights of spiritual perfection.
Most of us struggle, but the anointing has always flowed through obedient vessels.
Sometimes believers struggle with lack of self-esteem. Like fear of failure, doubt and guilt from their past. Also a lack of confidence, even in their own prayers being answered,
Jesus used common men to turn the world upside down. Sometimes even anointed men of God miss the mark and do foolish things.
The anointing did not prevent them from being exposed to the world system and the influence of temptation.
The failure came, not because the Holy Spirit was not indwelling them, But because they yielded to the voice of the tempter, who is the devil.
When you meet the tempter head on… refuse to follow his voice or yield to his deception
If we could mature to perfection without the Holy Spirit, then we would not need him to dwell within us.
He is given to help us in our weakness.
God Bless,
Brother Andy
DIVINE POWER THROUGH GRACE
The divine power of God is called grace…It is the divine power that reveals the righteousness of God.
It is the divine power that gives you everything that pertains to life and Godliness.
It is the Divine power of God that makes it possible for you to access things you need through God
And it was the divine power that brought Paul back from the dead into righteousness, into divine life through Jesus Christ’
Just like Paul, we must be born from unrighteousness unto righteousness…
The law came through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ…
Jesus came and fulfilled the Law, he came as a ransom and delivered us from sin under the Law…The gospel of Jesus Christ is the gospel of grace…Grace is the unmerited favor of God through His mercy. Grace is the entire gospel, nearly to good to be true gospel… over the top news
We did not work for it, we did not deserve it… it came through Gods mercy, His love, and His loving kindness, through our faith… The gospel of grace is not ashamed, grace is the power of God…
The law was all bad news… can do this, can’t do that, and stoned to death…
The Law puts you under condemnation, grace is the divine power under salvation…
Grace will deliver you out of depression, poverty, sickness and diseases as well as delivering you from condemnation.
Read gal 3:1-6... Paul is saying, you stupid people of Galatia, who put you under and evil spell…Wasn’t the crucifixion clearly described to you?
How did you begin in a spiritual way and end up doing things in a human way?
Read Rom 5: 20-21
Gods law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were, so they would become sin conscious
The purpose of the law was to show people that they needed a savior… the law made them aware…
The covenant of grace leads us out of the covenant of the law, we now live under the spirit of grace…
Grace was not given unto us to make us holy, while it is holy
Grace was not given unto us to make us righteous, even though we are righteous by faith…
Gods grace was given because man could not receive eternal life under the law
We had to have a savior and Jesus Christ is our savior…
Gods law was perfect, but it could not make us perfect, the problem was with man, not with God.
God didn’t ask you to do anything, just trust…
He has already made healing available to you, deliverance, He made you free and has done every thing you need…
Your performance won’t make it happen, Jesus has already qualified you to have every Blessing.
The holy spirit will lead you by the renewing of your mind… read 2nd Corr 4:16 read eph 4: 22-24
You can not live in the flesh in this world system with out the renewing of your mind…The word of God is the language of the spirit
The 10 commandments is not lead by the spirit, it is lead by works. Our new covenant is led through accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior by the spirit through faith
God is not turning his head on sin anymore, but has given us resources through his Son, his Word and the Holy Spirit to live a holy life.
When God speaks of a new covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete.
It is now out of date and ready to be put aside. Stop trying to impress God by good works.
Just trust Him and let Him impress you.
God bless
Brother Andy
