"God Works In Mysterious Ways"

You think that you are so faithful, 

You think that you are so organized.

You think that you have so much faith, 

You think that you are so wise.

You think that you are so knowledgeable, 

You think that you are so good.

You think that you are so strong, 

You think that you are so anointed.

You think that you are so blessed!

But behold the bigger picture: God made you and taught you very well. For it is God that works in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure. If you don't use your mind, How can you say, that you are not double-minded?  If you don't use your mind, How can you say that you have the mind of Christ? If you don't use your mind, How can you renew your mind? God is able to do exceeding, abundantly, above all that you ask or think, according to the power that is working within you.

I planted a vineyard, I will taste the fruit thereof. I must be first partaker of the fruit. I, that treaded out the corn, shall not be muzzled. I, the workman is worthy of my reward. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Don't be surprised that you have been working for yourself. Helping others in the Kingdom of God is helping yourself. Give and it shall be given to you, good measure, pressed down, Shaken together, running over shall men give unto your bosom. If you have believed it, and you have received it, It is for you. For it is God that works in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

For without faith it is impossible to please God, For they that come to God, must believe that He is, And believe that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. God works with them that believe, confirming His word with signs following. But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it have taught you, you shall abide in him. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 

1 John 2:27;John 14:26

"Keeping the Good, Throwing Away the Bad"

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

Another parable spoke he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Matt. 13:47-48;Matt. 13:33

Sometimes you got to sit down and think about the good and bad experiences in your past. So you can determine what is the difference between the good and the bad experiences with God in your life and without God in your life. Then throw out the bad experiences but keep the good experiences with the Lord and let God work his life into your life...Amen.

"Before I Knew The Lord"

Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations.

No man can come to me, except the Father which have sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surname you, though you has not known me.

I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you has not known me:

Thus saith the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord, your God which teaches you to profit, which leads you by the way that you should go.

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.

The Lord have appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you.

Jere. 1:5;John 6:44;Isa. 45:4-5;Isa. 42:16;Isa. 48:17;John 10:29-30;Jere. 31:3

I don't call myself a prophet, but I do know this, that the Lord knows His sheep and His sheep know Him. And He have set them apart for His ordinance, waiting for them to be revealed in His time...Amen.

God seen me afar off before I was even born coming to Him, so He sent His Holy Son to save me. The Lord leads them to fountains of living water. He will not forsake His sheep and will bring them in and out to find pasture, The Great Shepherd...Amen.

God drew me with lovingkindness, that is why I wanted him so much in my life, there is no other friend like Him. Why shouldn't I love Him? He first loved me, before I even thought of Him, dwelling in the Secret Place of the Most High...Thank you, My God, My Creator for giving me your Holy Son, Jesus Christ..Amen. This is My Testimony, That God prepared me for Salvation!

I'm Separated From My Mother's Womb

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

For you has possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well. My substance was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 

Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.

And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Gal. 1:15-20;Psa. 139:13-16;Matt. 10:32-37&21;John 4:18;John 10:4-5

I had three children and they are saved. God didn't ordain me to have anymore children. God said "Believe on the Lord Jesus and you and your household shall be saved." My household is my children and we are joined together in Christ Jesus. And the Lord said to me "and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly,"; so I divorced him.  We think that we need to wean our children away from us, but God is weaning us away from our children.  We as Christians have fellowship only with the Lord Jesus, we are not alike and God uses us differently. The Lord Jesus said He came to bring a variance between a mother and daughter; a father and a son; and mother in law and daughter in law. Why did He say this? Because of the choices we make and have made; this will make people divided, dividing the sheep from the goats. My mother was totally different from me and I was totally different from her, but great is the Lord, that only he, can separate me from her womb. God ordained me to salvation before I was conceived in her womb that is the difference between me and my mother and even her mother. All things work together for the good to them that love God and to them that are the called according to His purpose. No generation curse in Christ.

var·i·ance

[ˈverēəns]

The fact or quality of being different, divergent, or inconsistent:

1. synonyms: conflicting · in conflict · in disagreement · in opposition · different · 

I have decided to follow Jesus, not people, He is my choice.  You've been going through and around that mountain long enough. Now, you can see it. Don't claim anyone to be anything more than they are..Amen. Whom the Lord loves, He chastens, be zealous therefore and repent.

A Sweet Rebuke!

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

He that believes on me, as the scripture have said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 

And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shines in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

2 Pet. 1:20-21;John 7:38;Rev. 1:12-18

You are not alone, you in the Body of Christ! The Lord has many people saying the same things, many waters, out of one mouth. There is a confirmation in the Spirit of God. In the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be established. The Lord speaks through his people saying the same things, it is not private, like I thought, we are one, speaking the same things...Amen. I know that the enemy is a counterfeiter, but there is nothing like the real thing, the real thing has life in it. I was instructed to copy what the teacher said but after you have received the grade there is no need for any more instruction, I'm out of High School with a Diploma, graduated and finished. I had no more use for the Don, in these Deerfields, which is complete in Christ anyway. The Lord made all things, and His creations cannot be copied, My Father, the Creator, is my Helper!!

"Is It A Fresh Word?"

But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Who also have made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.

It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Matt. 4:4;Prov. 30:5;2 Cor. 3:6;John 6:63

stale¹

[stāl]

ADJECTIVE

1. (of food) no longer fresh and pleasant to eat; hard, musty, or dry:

   "stale bread"

   synonyms: old · past its best · off · dry · hard · musty · rancid · overstored

I don't want that old bread, which is stale, kept in the freezer, (on youtube.com) trying to preserve it. Every situation is different, and each word of God is pure. God understands every situation and how different it is. We are constantly growing, and need nourishment in the Lord. We are not like unto rodents which eat stale, old bread, looking for a crumb on the table or floor. We are not copiers of the real thing, we are the real thing. That's why we need the Holy Ghost to guide us into all truth, and to bring to our remembrance everything that Jesus the Lord has said unto us. The Lord said that the Holy Ghost will teach us all things, show us things to come, reproving the world of sin, and judging the devil, glorifying the Lord Jesus...Glad I got the Holy Ghost, so Trust is the Key...Amen.

"The Lord Opens"

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith He that is holy, he that is true, he that have the key of David, he that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens; I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you has a little strength, and has kept my word, and has not denied my name.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you has kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown.

Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that have an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.

Revelation 3:7-13

The Lord Jesus truly speaks through his word, that He and He alone opens doors or opportunities, not by resumes, not by interviews, which can be idolatry. Seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened. God blesses and He alone blesses.

If I walk by faith, and someone comes before the Lord with deception. And I know that the Lord is coming with a blessing, and there is only truth with Him, not fraud. But thank God, all things work together for good, to them that love God and to them that are called according to His purpose. I am the Father's sheep, and truly my Lord and Savior is the root and the offspring of David, who cares for His Father's sheep. I am not lost...a door shut but another door opened...Your rod and your staff they comfort me..Your salvation is always near, He will not leave you to prepare and unprepared..Stand still and see the salvation that is with you today and always..God's got something better for me..Let patience have her perfect work that you may be perfect in entire wanting nothing...Thank you, Jesus!!!

🎼He's got better things for you, 

More than the world can do, 

With the Holy Ghost and fire, 

He's sure to bring you through, 

He's got better things for you, 

More than anyone on earth can do,

So put your faith in Jesus, 

He's got better things for you 🎼...Amen.

"The Lord Is My Shepherd"

Now, the Lord had said unto Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, unto a land that I will show you: And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curse you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed. So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

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 where 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.

Then Peter began to say unto him, Look, we have left all, and have followed you.

And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

Gen. 12:1-4;Heb. 11:8-10;Mark 10:28;Luke 5:28;Heb. 11:24-27

It's crazy, how God used a man named "Will I Am" or "William" to tell me to leave, and I respected it and obeyed. And it cursed the one that told me to leave, because it was not right in man's ways. The Lord said to Laban "Be careful what you say to Jacob, good or bad".

Glorifying God is all about Him, not about you. We say "walk by faith and not by sight", but do we really know what this means. When the Shepherd calls you out, don't be surprised you might not know where you are going.  Like Abram's father's house, his father probably said to Abram "Good Luck" which means, you won't make it alone. But you are not alone, God, the Lord Jesus, leads you out and it will be alright. I experienced it before, like a woman having a baby, she will experience small contractors until the time the real thing happens. But God is gracious, you will not be left unattended. Above all that you ask or think. The Lord Jesus came that you have life, and have it more abundantly. He will not lose nothing in the process of your blessings in this life! Abraham truly have a lot of children! The Lord called Abraham alone and blessed him! (It wasn't me, that taught it, but the Holy Ghost, I didn't know where I was going.) And the Lord confirmed to me in prayer saying, "Get in your place" saying I was out of place being with these people. God has prepared a place for me in his body. Hallelujah and I am dwelling in that place as of this very day.

Don't Worry, God Got You 100%

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister have left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, you are careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary have chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear have torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

The fear of retiring or resting: Trusting the Lord is the key. Jesus has made it alright with you and with God the Father, The Lord. There is no searching of the Lord's understanding, He sees all and knows all concerning you. Casting all your care, upon Him for He cares for you. When things are new, the Holy Ghost reminds us of all the Lord has said unto us, pleasing the Lord in every good work. Because without faith it is impossible to please God, believing that God is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him...Amen. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God. You are a new creature, old things are passed away, fear is old, faith is of God and God is, still on the throne, and deep in your bosom you have a phone, whenever you walk you are not walking alone, remember God is still on the throne. The Lord is on your side!

🎼What a fellowship,
What a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
What a blessedness,
With my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.🎼

🎼Leaning, Leaning, 
Safe and Secure from all alarm.
Leaning, Leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.🎼

Amen.

Christ In You!!

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know your works.......Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcome will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that have an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.

When I was wearing cheap earrings, I developed a rash that would not quit. I tried peroxide and alcohol and even stop wearing earrings all together. But the rash would not get better. My birthday was coming up and so I said to myself, maybe if I get gold earrings this time, it would clear up. But I needed the money to buy them, somehow I sacrificed and use the money I had. The jewelry store was in the same building with the job I was working at the time. So I bought them and wore the gold earrings for about a week or two and noticed that my ears were normal again. But now I know not to wear cheap earrings forever. It was my belief system, that I could do something about this situation. The woman who went to several physicians was just a parable, to the fact that some things can only be fixed by God, and the fact that she had a unction in herself. That said, if I only...it was my faith, that said, if I can only...do this or that...that was my faith in his power. God is concerned about my health, He is.

First, spiritual things then natural things. Everything you had, was not gotten on your own, God gave it to you, by drawing you with his goodness which leads you to repentance. Focusing on that fact, that without God, you could have not done anything. Then God drew you to himself to save you from your sins, after that everything you got, you had to walk by faith to get or ask Him for it. God was there and will always be there with you through it all. So ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened. It's like coming to the surface of your existence and peeping out and staying out, with no fear. Show yourself, for you are not naked! You are covered in white raiment. If you seen all the things that God has done for you, to bring you closer to Him, and what you have today, wouldn't you thank him more. Your acknowledgement of His existence in your life will direct your paths. He didn't leave you nor forsake you..He is in your Days, not only in your Nights or dreams while you were sleeping...For dreams can be distorted, Wake Up!! said, the Amen..God has your soul, and no man is able to pluck you out of God's hand, for He is greater than all. Only the blood of Christ can make your worthy, and get your through, remember the Red Sea.
