God At His Best

Jesus found me in the lost and found,
In a time that nobody was around.
He gave me strength even when I was bound,
He has always kept me ever, so sound.
Now is the time to give it a rest,
Knowing that my God is on His very best,
He said, "I'm just the same today,
So do all that you can do and move out of my way".
God has saved me in the nick of time,
When I thought that I didn't have a dime.
My God is always a provider indeed,
So I don't have to worry when I have a need.
God is always reminding my soul,
Every time making me ever wit whole.

If God found me, which He did, there is no other to be needed.

God Remembers

God have not dealt with me after my sins; nor rewarded me according to my iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward me that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far have he removed my transgressions from me. Like as a father pitied his child, so the LORD pities me that fear him. For God knows my frame; God remembers that I am dust and ashes. I know the LORD that He is God: it is he that have made me, and not me myself; I am his people, and a sheep of his pasture. He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise my prayer. If I say that I have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, I lie, and do not the truth: But if I walk in the light, as He is in the light, I have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanse me from all sin. If I say that I have no sin, I deceive myself, and the truth is not in me. If I confess my sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us my sins, and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. If I say that I have not sinned, I make him a liar, and his word is not in me. I am glad God has not rewarded me according to my sins and that he remembers that I am just dust and ashes.  Like Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes: For God redeemed my life from destruction; He crowns me with loving-kindness and tender mercies; Bless the Lord Oh my soul!  I am forgiven and have the blessing of Christ and of my God, and nothing can hinder his love to me.  For the blood of the Lamb cleanses me from all sins. Revelation 7:14 Says, "These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb". Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keep the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things. Then said he unto me, See you do it not: for I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. And he said unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. Amen. I am them that keep the saying of this book. Amen. Hallelujah!! Yes!! And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. Amen. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which brings forth out of his treasure things new and old. (Matt. 13:52) And you shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. (Lev. 26:10)

God Righteousness

Seek first God's kingdom and His RIGHTEOUSNESS and all these things shall be added. Not our righteousness but His righteousness. When Peter went to the sea to get the first fish, and open his mouth to see money, did Peter asked to find the owner? Didn't Peter do what Christ said and received the money and paid the debt that was not even owed. The blessing of the Lord makes rich and He adds no sorrow to it. He will not let you suffer over a blessing that is for you. Ask. God is good.  Are we building up our own righteousness, so we can feel that we deserve a blessing when we ask? That's not God's righteousness.  If God gave you the thing that you needed, would you hinder it and be self-righteous?  Suppose Peter said, "I can't give this money to the tax people they might think that I stole this money," this is self righteous. You are hindering your own blessings and God. If you are doubting you can't receive from God. The doubting is "what if", "but", "if this happens", "but, I'm not important".  You are important because you received Christ in your life, God's righteousness. Your good works is not why he answers your prayers. Put the money on your taxes as a gift, and receive from the Lord. Be honest. You can't be double-minded. You will not receive anything of the Lord, double-minded is unstable in all it's ways. Fear is not love, perfect love cast out fear, We love God because He first loved us. Think, keep following the Lord, don't draw back into perdition but believe to the saving of your soul.  Jesus wants you to be free to serve him and to be a light, a city that is set on a hill it can not be hid, to show how much he loves you, so people will believe on him that sent him, that God is good.

Give Them To Eat

Jesus told his disciples to give them to eat, what you are eating.  The disciples looked at the fact that there was so many people to feed and the amount they had in their hands was not enough for them and the people to be fed.  But Jesus commanded his disciples to make the people sit down.  This is the act of their faith, to make the people sit down to meat.  I have seen how God wants us to use what we have and multiply it, for my God is a harvesting God.  Walk by faith and not by sight.  Everything points to this scripture, that our lives are not the same as it used to be.  I remember when I first received the Lord, I wanted great faith.  I was told that if you fast, that it would make you stronger.  So I fast for four days, I am not recommending that others do this.  After the four days and I was in prayer, and I knew that the presence of God was there, God listening to me.  I asked that I could walk with my husband by faith like Abraham and Sarah.  I heard "You will surely, walk by faith with your husband".  So I continued in prayer, and asked for the gift of miracles, I heard "You will surely have a need of a miracle" that made me afraid and I said to myself. "Oh, No, what have I asked". I always wanted God to be my husband, but felt "No, I can't asked that, but it was my desire though".  I still went through a lot of dreams, about who my husband was and I searched and was very disappointed that nobody could fill those shoes but my God.  I didn't realize that when I was under conviction to become saved, that I knew that God was taking care of me and all I wanted to do is have him in my life and get a man that would please him so I would not be unpleasing to him anymore.  Yes, Jesus was that man that would make my God pleased and I would be pleasing to him. Long story made short, "The Lord of Host is his name" twenty-eight years later I found out that eye have not seen nor ear heard the things that God has prepared for them that love, wait, adore him, This song was given to me from the Lord on my venture for the search for the husband in 1983. So I have been walking with my God all this time by faith. :) God has many mansions, God is vast, Jesus said "He goes to prepare a place for you". God can be all that you need.. He is a fulfilling God. Hallelujah!

Shall Not Perish

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  (John 3:16)  This scripture is so powerful, God made all things and he knows each life form that falls onto the ground.  The word "perish" is a fascinating word, PERISH: To die or be destroyed, especially in a violent or untimely manner: to become destroyed or brought to ruin; to cause to suffer; or cease to exist.  To come near to dying of thirst or starvation.  I would say "not preserved" is a good meaning for perishing.  The world even say "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". The Lord said "He came that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly".  Abundant life is the opposite of perishing.

We know that we have seen fruit that sits too long unattended that it winkles, the juice inside dries up, and it decays and goes back to the earth.  That's perishing and when we have no money, no food, no joy and no health. We are perishing, winkles appear and we bow down to the ground.  The Lord said that "If you believe in the only begotten Son of God you will have everlasting life and should not perish". Listen: ever lasting life, not ending not decaying, not forgotten, For the Lord has said that He will never leave you nor forsake you, that means you are not going to perish in any situation.  This is the gospel, which all of us as saved from sin and to all others, that we will not be forgotten to perish nor be destroyed.  We can count on this scripture in times of need.  That God is able to do exceeding, abundantly, above all that we ask or think according to the power that is working within us. God is a Good God.  Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God, I will help you, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

Because Of Unbelief

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Where have this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Where then have this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he have sent. Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. (Matt. 13:54-58;John 6:27-29;John 14:1) This came to mind, that Jesus could not do many mighty works because of their unbelief, for it is your faith that saves or delivers you by God through His well-beloved Son.  And Jesus spoke that we would do mightier works than himself because he goes to the Father and the Father is greater than he.  Which leads me to believe that we know that the world can not receive even us, because of their unbelief.  The world not seeing that we are new creatures in Christ Jesus, old things are passed away all things have become new. They see us the way, the people seen Christ and his supposed family, as someone who was like them, which is unbelief.  I feel it is a responsibility for people to be used as a channel to get to God, are we really ready for this responsibility and are we finished with trying to be something in this world. Christ knew when the people wanted to make him a king when he fed the thousands, in that the people was not praising God for the miracles, but for Jesus to feed them with natural food, so he hid from them. Are we finished with our lives in this world? To work the works of God, for his glory? And if we are new creatures then we are finished with this world, then we will not be accepted among our own kin and among our own countrymen.

"With A Loud Voice"

And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go your way: your faith have made you whole.  

Luke 17:11-19

This story came to my mind yesterday, as I was praying.  I was holding on to my faith in God about the return of some books that was sent to the wrong place, and was debited out of my account. It seem like I couldn't get this money back in my account because I cancelled the card and got a new one.  You know how it seemed a impossibility that I would get credit for these lost books.  But today, I felt to look in my account and the money was reimbursed to me.  "Praise the Lord"  I screamed, praising God with a loud voice.  He deserve all of the praise in all the things he does for me on a continual basis. I believe there is more to come, today.

Praise In The Mouth Of Babes

God can use your children and other people of your faith.  Don't close your mind but listen for the voice of the Lord.  Let us esteem others better than ourselves. My children was talking the other day about the Lord is a luxurious God, because he made the streets of his kingdom gold and I thought about the jewels as the foundations of the city. "Why wouldn't he want you to have the best of this life? , and If you know that God blessed you with these things why do you worry about things"?, this is what my youngest said.  I didn't pay attention at first, until something said quietly "why aren't you listening?". In the mouth of babes, God have perfected praise.  I found out later, because I was searching and asking God about why he told me that His son would help me to get the house of my dreams.  I asked how can this be, because according to the word I wanted to know.  By revelation it was coming to me about Abraham sojourned in the land of promise as in a strange country.  Abraham seed inherited the promise of the land. Christ is the main seed of Abraham having all the promises of Abraham. The Lord said to Abraham at this time will I come and Sarah shall have a Son. Christ's life was cut off (for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken) having no seed to leave his inheritance and established again according to the Father's will. Christ is the seed of Abraham that the promises was given and we are that seed that received Christ and became heir to his blessing on this earth.  Because Abraham sojourned in his promise and his seed inherited it in the season that they returned from the land of Egypt. So I can own a house down here, I needed to know this according to the word of God, because God is a giver of good and perfect gifts, but if we don't realize that God has given these blessing, we will not hold on to the reward.  Because it has to be founded upon a rock which is Jesus sayings, the floods came and winds blew but the blessing could not be moved because it was founded upon Christ's sayings. Jesus said before Abraham was, I am and that Abraham rejoiced to see my day and saw it.  Jesus said the first shall be last and the last shall be first, If you follow him, and forsake houses, lands, brethren, family... for his sake and the gospel you will receive a hundredfold in this time, houses, lands, brethren, family...with persecution and the world to come eternal life.  Abraham did rejoiced to see Christ day and saw it, because Abraham was last to have a son, but was first in his blessings from God.  And Abraham was rich because he forsook all and follow Christ not knowing where he was going.  So Christ is that solid rock that I stand all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.

The Holy Israel

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which have foundations, whose builder and maker is God. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that have left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said unto them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

Heb. 11:8-10;Mark 10:29-31;John 8:39-40+56 

I've been in this territory before and now the Lord has founded me on his word, to keep me in times to come. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! That rock which Jacob laid his head and rested and seen the ladder in God's House, angels ascending and descending upon the rock which is Christ Jesus.  And God speaking to him, establishing him in His promises made to Abraham. God says that He will give Jacob's seed the land that Jacob laid on.

God Is A Promise

That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enter into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.  I need to hear that God swore, that he would bless me, it's not about my faith, but it's about that God doesn't lie. Thank you, Lord for saving me from unbelief.

Heb. 6:12-20

Don't Feel Condemned

Have you ever ask the Lord to give you somethings and you are sure the Lord was hearing you?  When we know that he hears us we know that we have the petition that we desire of him.  And you walk away from prayer and have a battle of thoughts, later, that you are looking in the physical for the blessing that you have asked for.  Don't feel condemned, let patience have her perfect work that you may be perfect in entire wanting nothing. That's when you must add to your faith, virtue and then after virtue, put knowledge with the faith, than temperance, then patience, and so on (Read 2 Peter 1). You do have faith but its like a grain of mustard seed.  Well, I have been dealing with a lot of situations like this, that I have a grain of mustard seed-sized faith. This Faith walk will bring you to a closer walk with the Lord.
