Matthew 15:21-28     ²¹ Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

²² And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

²³ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

²⁴ But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

²⁵ Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

²⁶ But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

²⁷ And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

²⁸ Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

BLESSED BY OBEDIENCE

BLESSED BY OBEDIENCE

READ JEREMIAH 17: 7...BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT TRUSTETH IN THE LORD,AND WHOSE HOPE IS IN THE LORD

TO BE ABLE TO TRUST IN THE LORD… FIRST.. YOU MUST KNOW WHO THE LORD IS. THEN YOU MUST HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. THAT ONLY COMES THROUGH THE WORD AND OBEDIENCE

GOD BLESSES THROUGH OBEDIENCE

YOU CAN BE PRAYED UP, BUILT UP, LIFTED UP, BUT IF YOU ARE NOT OBEDIENT TO THE WORD OF GOD, YOUR NOT GOING TO BE BLESSED

WHEN YOU ARE OBEDIENT TO GODS WORD, FAITH CAN PRODUCE HEALING, PROSPERITY AND PEACE OF MIND…

WHEN YOU TAKE ACTION ON GODS WORD, THAT IS FAITH. NOW GOD CAN REWARD YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE TRUSTED HIM…WHEN LIFE GETS TO THE POINT THAT YOU CAN’T SEE ANY LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, TRUST GOD…

THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHURCH TODAY IS… WE ONLY BELIEVE AND DO NOT RESPOND TO THE WORD THAT IS TAUGHT…

SATAN SAYS… DON’T TRUST WHAT YOU CAN NOT SEE…YOU MUST ADMIT THE REALITY OF SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE… BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD

THE UNRIGHTEOUS LIVE BY WHAT THEY SEE, WE THE RIGHTEOUS OF GOD THRU CHRIST JESUS LIVE BY THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD… CALLED HIS WILL

WHEN YOU ARE CONVINCED BY THE WORD OF GOD… THAT WHAT HE SAYS, IS THE TRUTH…

THEN, GODS POWER AND PRESIENCE WILL MANIFEST IN YOUR LIFE…

JESUS DESTROYED THE EVIL AND STRATIGIES OF THE DEVIL AT CALVARY.. WITH HIS BLOOD AND HIS MERCY

BECAUSE OF HIS MERCY… YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ENTER INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD… THROUGH GRACE

GRACE WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO WALK BY FAITH…GOD WILL STRENGTHEN YOUR INNER MAN… SO YOUR INNER MAN WILL BEGIN TO FOLLOW… THUS SAITH THE LORD

THAT IS WHAT YOU LEAN ON… NOT YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING

TO HAVE THAT YOKE DESTROYING, BURDEN REMOVING POWER OF GOD… YOU MUST FIRST COME TO THE GRACE OF GOD… THROUGH OBEDIENCE TO GOD…

PUT THE WORD IN YOUR MOUTH, SPEAK IT IN OBEDIENCE

THE WORD SAYS… WHAT DOES IT PROFIT FOR ANYONE TO PROFESS THAT THEY HAVE FAITH, BUT HAVE NO GOOD WORKS TO SHOW FOR IT…

READ JAMES 1: 22 -23 SAYS…BUT BE YE DOERS OF THE WORD… AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES…

VERSE 23 SAYS… FOR IF ANY BE HEARERS FO THE WORD AND NOT A DOER, HE IS LIKE UNTO A MAN LOOKING AT YOUR FACE IN A MIRROR, BUT DOING NOTHING TO IMPROVE YOUR APPEARANCE…

READ EPH 3: 20 SAYS…ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US.YOU NEED TO GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT SOMETHING TO WORK WITH

THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT THAT DIRECTED THE PATH OF JESUS IS THE SAME SPIRIT THAT DWELLS IN US

SO GOD THE FATHER CAN BLESS US AS WE WALK IN OBEDIENCE.

BE BLESSED

ANGELS UNAWARE

Angels Unaware

As I look around our world today it is hard to recognize it as a safe place to live. I think we can all agree that we need the Lords continual protection: at home, on the job and on the road. For the believers, there are many scriptures promising God can and will protect us.

We can call on angels in the name of the Lord for protection with a simple prayer. The Lord is quick to send his angels to answer our pleas.

Angels are involved in our lives on a personal and practical level. How ever there are things that we do that can offend our angels and will hinder their protection of us.

Angelic messengers are special messengers from God, appointed by God himself. The most common angels are called ministering spirits.

They go forth according to the purposes of God to complete a specific work, task or assignment from the Lord.

Exodus 23:20-23 says… “Behold I send an angel before you to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Be aware of him and obey his voice, do not provoke him for he will not pardon your transgressions, for my name is in him. But if you indeed obey his voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries, for my angel will go before you.”

There is a special angel. Not a normal fighting angel. This angel was more than a regular angel, this very well could have been Jesus. Jesus seen in his pre-incarnate state as the angel of the Lord.

Negative words or wrong speaking can offend the angels. The angels of the Lord are commissioned to listen to and be obedient to the voice of His word. It is the word of God that moves the angels into action.

I believe that in the same way, man’s disobedience can cause them to with hold their protection.

Unbelief will offend the angels, when you speak unbelief, you are saying what God promised and Christ on the cross wasn’t enough.

Sin offends your angels, when we speak of sin, we think of sexual immorality, stealing, lying, murder and so on. But remember that complaining, criticizing or speaking negative things of the spirit of God is also a sin. Not giving God the glory can offend the angels of the Lord.

Each and every day we should praise God for the gift of the day, and thank him for just being our God. Taking the time to give Him all the glory.

Disobedience to the word can offend your angels. God does not work through disobedience. He works through our obedience to his word and through our faith. When we are sinning and disobedient our angels are silent. They turn their backs away from us with their arms folded and their heads bowed.

Here is what to do if you have sinned and offended your angels… confess your sin and repent. In repentance you turn away from sin and do your best to walk with the Lord daily.

Be quick to forgive others that have wronged you in some way, If you won’t forgive others it puts the Lord in the position of not being able to hear your prayers. We must forgive to get forgiveness.

In the midst of all the things that can go wrong in our daily lives we need our angels to protect us and our family. Which they will do. Call on them In Jesus name… pray, study the word, love God with your whole heart, this is the way to Gods protection.

Live close to the Lord in confidence in these perilous times. He will shower us with His love and protection. Life will be better and full of the joy of the Lord.

God bless

TRUST IN THE LORD

Trust in the Lord

March 11, 2013

Jeremiah 17:7 says, Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

Fear in America has changed so many circumstances until a lot of people are loosing their hope.

Hope in the Lord is the foundation that faith builds on… little hope… little faith.

And that is not good, because Hebrews 11: 6 says, without faith it is impossible to please Him (God).

The ones that come to him, and believe that He is, he rewards them.

Jesus did everything that was necessary at the cross to make available salvation to mankind through Gods grace.

Gods mercy, his loving kindness and his grace is sufficient for each and everyone.

God’s grace makes everything we need from heaven possible and faith can reach out and take it.

If you are a believer in God’s son and have accepted him as Lord and Savior, everything heaven has to offer is yours. Even though all this is possible you still have an adversary trying to keep you from receiving it.

The devil wants to be lord of your life and he is willing to fight for it. How hard are you willing to fight to keep him from taking it away? Paul the apostle says to fight the good fight of faith, and trust in the Lord.

Don’t let the evil spirit of fear confuse you, because fear has consequences that will lead to depression.

Depression has caused people of America to loose hope and that will make you do things you would not normally do. Some people turn to drugs and alcohol, some it can go as far as suicide.

Keep your faith before you, lean not to your own understanding, and surrender all to God by trusting him. He promised he would never leave you or forsake you

　

May the love of God shine his face upon you and bless you with favor.

KNOWING THE VOICE OF GOD

Knowing the Voice of God

            Today we live in a natural world, in a natural flesh body. We also have a soul and spirit.

            Because we live in a natural world, in the flesh, we have the tendency to lean toward our five physical senses.

            What we see, hear, smell, touch and taste are the natural things we focus on most of the time. However this is the main reason Satan, the devil, can manipulate us. We are in his natural arena.

            Now is the time to move ahead and focus on the spirit man, which is inside of you, and the spirits way of thinking.

Doing this will put you over into Gods arena, and there you will have Gods thoughts, the way that God wants you to go, and Gods protection.

            Here is how you do that:

Keep Gods word in front of your eyes at all times. No matter what you think you see with your natural eyes, go to Gods word. See what he has to say about your situation.

            The same thing goes with what you hear; sometimes what we think we hear might not be what was actually said.

            There is a lot of difference between something truly stated and a statement of truth.

            John 8:32 says… and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. God’s word is the truth that sets you free.

            Sometimes people doubt Gods word, they say if I can’t see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, or touch it probably isn’t there.

            That kind of thinking will only lead into deception. You can’t fight spiritual war thinking in the natural realm, or in a carnal mind set.

            Smell and taste have similar reactions, but on another level…there are a lot of times when God is speaking to us but we are not listening.

            There are a lot of times that God hears our cry but we haven’t trained our spiritual ears to hear him speak.

            Satan works in the natural, where as God works in the supernatural.

            The reason we are not hearing the voice of God is we stay in the natural arena of thinking and Satan blocks us from hearing from the supernatural way that God speaks to us.

            John 5:25 says… the hour is coming when even the dead in Christ will hear his voice and respond to it.

So if the dead can hear his voice and respond to it, surely we the living can train ourselves to recognize it… think about it, try it.

            Open up your heart to God, talk to him, meditate on his word, you might be surprised how close God is to you in your life.

            Read the word,

            Brother Andy.

FACE TO FACE

FACE TO FACE – IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU

 

I was once asked, what are you going to say to Jesus when you stand directly in front of Him, face to face.

Several things went through my mind, and the only answer I could come up with was, thank you so much.

That is not very much of an answer to say to the one that suffered and died so I could live.

It is like your hurt and loosing all your blood and someone walks up and says you can have mine.

He is saying, I am willing to die so you can live. That is very close to how it happened at the cross.

God has a purpose for our lives and the only way he could manifest it in our lives is through the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.

In the Garden of Eden, treason was manifested through sin, and mankind was separated from the presence of God.

Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we were bough, paid for and brought back to the presence of God. Brought back by accepting what Jesus did.

In John 14:6  Jesus says… I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the father but by me. In other words you will never see heaven or spend eternity with Him in heaven unless you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.     

If you have your bible, go to Romans 10:9-10  9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

In Hebrews 13:5-6    ⁵ Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.   ⁶ So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

No I really don’t know what I would say to Jesus, I am not sure I could

 say anything. Being in His presence would be so overwhelming. His awesomeness, His beauty, His love will probably overcome our thoughts.

John 14:2-3 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. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Jesus is saying I am building you a place in a mansion; I want to spend eternity with you.

It does not matter where you live, in the USA or any other country; God is in all the world.

You may be going through some bad times and you may not understand why, but God understands. That is why He said; let not your heart be troubled

Sometimes bad things happen to good people never think God has forgotten you. This life we lead is a short span of time if you compare it to eternity.

You as a person, saved or not saved will stand face to face before Jesus Christ, the son of the living God.

You will either spend eternity in heaven with Jesus by accepting what he did at the cross, or you will spend eternity with all unbelievers in the lake of fire with Satan who is the devil. Please choose life with Christ today.

Peace,

Brother Andy.

THE GUILT TRIP

THE GUILT TRIP

Too often I have seen Christians start going to church and things seem like they are going well, and then the adversary shows up and starts putting their past in front of their eyes.

They start thinking about the past sin in their lives and give up hope once more…

When you’re on the top of things the devil will do everything he can to bring you down with words like this…
            *Nobody loves you,

            *Now you are all alone,
            *You have no friends…and it goes on and on
            *Being a Christian is impossible; it is not going    to work for you,
            *You are a failure, and you are just going to fail again,
            *Things will never get better, stop fighting it and just accept it…
            *Who do you think you are somebody great, have you forgotten all those mistakes you 
             have made?
I have seen so many people try and try again to break free from their past only to end up listening to the poisonous condemning judgment and the lies of Satan.

That is the power of wrong belief, what you believe whether good or bad is powerful…Change your belief, change your life, don’t get caught up in the guilt trap, or the fear trap.

John 8:32 says… you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

Free from what? Free from the bondage that Satan puts on you through deception and lies.

Jesus himself is the truth that sets us free; he is the source of truth, the perfect standard of what is right.

He frees us from the consequences of sin, from self deception and from deception by Satan.

He shows us clearly the way to eternal life with God… Jesus does not give us freedom to do what we want, but freedom to follow God.

As we seek to serve God, Jesus’ perfect truth frees us to be all that God meant us to be.

Sin has a way of enslaving us, controlling us, and dominating us, dictating our actions.

Why?  Because Satan is always watching our movements throughout our lives so he can accuse us.

Jesus can free you from all the things that keep you from becoming the person God created you to be.

If sin is restraining you from being what God created you to be Jesus can break its power sin has over your life.

He will take away the guilt, the sorrow and the emotional roller coaster that washes us back and forth.

God loves you; he will never leave or forsake you. Let the power and anointing of God lead and direct your life, and you will never have this guilt feeling again.

If you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, Satan has no right to accuse you of anything.

If you are a child of God your past is behind you.

Be blessed,

Brother Andy
