Are you a Son of God?

Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."

The Sons of God are those that are being led by the Spirit of God. It is the Spirit of God that leads the people of God into the things of God. It is the Spirit of God that ought to carry us into the deep things of God so that we can gain access into what God wants us to know for such a time as this.

Are you allowing the Spirit of God to lead you in this hour? Are you being led by CNN or talk show icons who are telling you that you should do this or that? The bible tells us that we who are led by the Spirit of God, that we are the Sons of God.

Sons of God follow the Spirit of God. We do not follow what the media is saying what we should do. Instead, you and I ought to follow what God wants us to do in this hour. That is to allow the Spirit of God to lead us.

Do you seek for a job? Then ask the Spirit of God to lead you to one.

Do you seek for a promotion? Then ask the Spirit of God to show you how to get one.

Do you seek for a better relationship with your spouse? Then ask the Spirit of God to show you how to be a better spouse.

Whatever you seek for in this hour the Spirit of God already knows. Be patient! Allow the Spirit of God to direct you during these shifting seasons of your life.

"It may get worst before it gets better, but know one thing God has already walked out your steps and he has made provisions for you to be protected and preserved. You will not go down but God will carry you through."

The Gift of God

Ephesians 2:8 & 9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of God. Not of works lest any man should boast."

Have you received the Gift of God?

Salvation is a free gift paid for by the blood of Jesus to cleanse us all from the stain of sin that is in our lives. We were all born in sin and the only remedy for sin is to receive God's Son into our lives by faith.

The Gift of God will not cost you nor I anything this day but to look to Jesus completely and whole heartedly that He would not only forgive our sins but to show us how to live free from sin in a sinful world.

Jesus came not to condemn us because of our sins but He came to set us free from our sins so that we can live holy or set apart for Him. Our good works cannot act as a substitute for the covering of our sins only the blood of Jesus can do that.

Receive the Gift of God today.

Know that God loves you and He cares.

This is your higher calling......."Live Higher."

Be Encouraged....God Hears You!

Isaiah 65: 24 "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."

Have you ever asked any of the following questions:

Does God hear me when I pray?

Does He really understand what I am going through?

Does God care?

Sometimes we all feel as if we are so far away from our Father God that we cannot hear him. I know I do at times.

Be encouraged today and stand on his word and not on your feelings.

Know that when you call, God will answer.

While you are speaking, God hears your very words and even more important, your heart.

Be blessed today and always.

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!

Matthew 14:28 "And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" (KJV)

Whatever you do in this hour?

Remember this one thing!

Keep your eyes on Jesus!

Do not look at what is going on around you or even to you.?

Jesus knows..............And he wants you to fix your eyes on him.

Look at Peter! His faith was overtaken by fear.

Do not be afraid in this hour of anything or anyone?

What is Your Higher Calling?

Philippians 3:7, 14 "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ....I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

The apostle Paul in his letter to the Saints at Philippi expresses his true motives for following his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He begins this chapter by urging the saints to be careful of dogs and of evil workers, to laying out a long list of accolades and accomplishments. Then finally admitting that those things that he had gained....he counted it loss for Christ.

As a matter of fact, he counted all things loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus.

Hear the heart of Paul's words wrapped up in verse 10 of this chapter.

"That I may know Him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death."

The ultimate expression of Paul's love for Jesus had overtaken his being to the point that his only aim or goal in life was to forgetting those things that were behind him and reaching for those things that were ahead of him......"I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Hear Paul's words again, "That I may know Him."

Paul's higher calling was "To know his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ even more than anything he had ever achieved in life."

Power To Get Wealth.

Deuteronomy 8:18 "But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day."

God has given you power to get wealth!

Dictionary.com defines power as: the ability to do or act, strength, might force, legal ability, capacity, or authority.

You and I were given the legal ability or right to do or act by God our father to get wealth.

It is our inheritance that we as believers in Christ begin to take control of our lives and stop making excuses of why we are not experiencing the abundance of wealth that God has empowered us to get.

We have been equipped with power to get wealth. My understanding leads me to believe that this power that God has given us is also the Power of the Holy Ghost. The bible tells us that He (The Holy Ghost) will lead us and guide us into all truth.

The truth about you is that God has given you the ability to get wealth. Wealth that could change your generation and your bloodline forever.

Therefore, use whatever gift or talent that you have to get wealth.

If you can sew, then sew your way out of debt and poverty.

If you can bake, then bake your way to riches.

If you can sing, then sing your way to wealth.

If you can write, then write your way to great financial blessings.

Whatever you can do, know that God has given you that ability to get wealth.

And you thought that you were powerless, void of strength and supernatural resources.

God has given you legal authority to get wealth.

Therefore, rise up from where you are and know that Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

This is your higher calling......Live Higher!

I choose to bless the Lord.

Overcomers by the Blood and the Word!

Revelations 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."

Do not underestimate the blood of Jesus and your word of testimony?

Oh there is so much power in the word of God.

Child of God, your position in Christ was sealed because of the blood of Jesus. It is by the blood of Jesus your sins were forgiven. It is by the blood of Jesus your sickness was taken away. It by the blood of Jesus you can overcome the forces of darkness and prevail as the light that you are. It is by the blood of Jesus that the enemy cannot do you any harm.

The songwriter penned these words along time ago. "What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus."

Begin to thank God for your salvation!

Another word that we can glean from this scripture is that our power to overcome lies in the word of our testimony. If God has done something in your life, let others know.

Our testimony is important because whenever we tell others about how Good our God is then we give life and hope to our listeners. We must speak about our God and what he has done in our lives. We must spread the "Good News" to a world that is in bad shape right now. Someone needs to hear YOU declare and lift up Jesus the light of the world to them.

Will you be that someone today? Will you let your light shine so that others may see your good works and glorify God?

Remember!

Greater is HE that is in YOU than he that is in the world.

You are an overcomer by the blood of Jesus and by your word of testimony.

God is calling you to a higher walk of Grace in this hour.

This is your higher calling...."Live Higher!"

Prayer Matters!

Luke 18:1 "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint."

Prayer Matters!

One of the most powerful thing that the disciples of Jesus asked him was, "Master teach us how to pray?"

They understood that prayer made a tremendous difference in Jesus' Ministry. They saw how because of prayer he healed the sick, raised the dead, and did wonderful miracles. They saw how he made it a priority in his ministry by seeking time with God to pray early in the morning. They saw how he would spend all night in prayer only to arise the next day to perform miracles.

Prayer is vital to the believer in Christ who dares to do and to become all that he desires.

Prayer is a mighty weapon when we as believers know who we are in Christ and stand and take authority.

Prayer is your key that will unlock the door to your miracle.

Prayer is us giving God access to enter into our lives so that He can have his way.

Prayer matters!

Abraham prayed!

Moses prayed!

Joshua prayed!

Daniel prayed!

Elijah prayed!

Hannah prayed!

Esther prayed!

Paul prayed!

Jesus prayed!

Prayer Matters!

Whatever you do today...do not forget to pray!

This is your higher calling.....Live higher!

God will do a NEW THING!

Isaiah 43:18 "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."

Are you tired of the same old, same old?

Are you longing for something new, something fresh?

Are you yearning for God to do something new in your life today?

Then here is medicine for your soul.

The bible tells us not to remember the former things nor consider the things of old. In other words God says to us forget it!

If you and I are ever going to receive anything new or fresh today then we must forget the old things.

I know we had a good time in campmeeting last year. But forget it!

I know we had church. But forget it!

I know we thought God will do it a certain way. But forget it!

Our memory of the past can become a barrier between us and God doing something new in our lives today. We can limit God to his last miracle or blessing in our lives. Whenever He wants to do something new in us we keep limiting him or bringing him back to our last memor(y)ial of where we receive our last victory.

God cannot be limited to his last act of blessings in our lives.

Jesus had a problem with this when he took Peter, James and John up to the mount of transfiguration where he was transfigured before them speaking to Moses and Elijah. The disciples wanted to built three tabernacles, one for Jesus, Elijah, and Moses. But Jesus said do no such thing!

What he was saying to them was this. Do not be contend with your last miracle or blessing or revelation. I am able to do exceeding and abundantly more than what you can think or imagine.

God says, "Now it shall spring forth, shall ye not know it?"

When will it happen for you, NOW!

Declare with me these words today.

"Now is the day for God to do something NEW just for me"

Expect God to do a NEW THING IN YOU TODAY!

Expect God to do a NEW THING IN YOUR MIND TODAY!

Expect God to do a NEW THING IN YOUR LIFE TODAY!

Remember!

Forget it! Expect it! Receive it!

God will do a NEW THING!....... Just for you.

This is your higher calling.....Live Higher!

Celebrating another Milestone!

In all things give thanks!

Thank you lord for allowing me to see 32 years of your love in my life.

Your Son,

Your Success Lies in the WORD!

Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

Your Success Lies in the WORD!

If you are ever going to achieve true and lasting success at any thing then these keys must be applied to your daily life.

1) Speak the WORD - You must speak the Word of God over your life daily. When you speak the word over your life, career, family, job, or business you are giving power over that area to grow and blossom in your life. Remember, life and death is all in the tongue.

2) Meditate on the WORD - You must meditate on the Word daily. It is very important to keep your mind on the word of God. Philippians 4:8 tells us to think on these things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, good report, virtue and praise.

3) Follow the WORD - You must give attention or observance to what the Word of God is telling you to do. The only way for that to happen is by getting in the word. The bible has clear instructions for our daily living in this world. Whatever we are facing in this life we can find it in the Word of God.

4) Reap the WORD - God desires for us to make our way prosperous by making his word the priority in our lives. We can reap the word that we sow into your lives by applying the Word of God daily. Do you want to make your way prosperous? Do what the Word of God tells you to do.

Your way can be bright today by taking a few minutes out of your day to SPEAK THE WORD, MEDITATE ON THE WORD, FOLLOW THE WORD, AND FINALLY REAP THE WORD THAT YOU SOW INTO YOUR LIFE.
