You
are NEVER, NEVER, NEVER ALONE. Did I say never? Did I say alone?
“And
Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes of the
young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses
and chariots of fire round about Elisha.”
2
KINGS 6:17
(KJV)
T
he morning I wrote
this devotional, I was sitting still, listening for the Lord. And
the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, really showed me the image of
Michelangelo’s sketch of a man with outstretched arms and legs. It
was said to me that this was a way for a person to turn into the
wind, to face the wind and receive a large amount of Chi energy.
This came out of nowhere and I see it as a treasure, as many of the
whispers that I receive and write down. For many of you it may seem
quite peculiar, but I am learning to foster and grow in the Spirit,
that part of my existence, my being. It is called spiritual growth.
Many of
us interact with the Holy Family of God every day without knowing
it. They are all around, the Bible calls them, “a great cloud of
witnesses;” “And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open
his eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was
full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” 2 KINGS
6:17 (KJV) But you have to come to one great understanding first
before you can get to this understanding of which I'm speaking. The
Understanding the Holy Spirit brought into my being, which the LORD
allowed is this:
1)The Bible is the complete Word of God; LOGOS.
2)There are peaks and valleys in the power represented by the
words which come from the lips of those depicted in the Bible.
I am
speaking of those words coming from the lips of mankind from God, or
words coming from God Himself or words coming from Angels or
Archangels, or from animals that God has guided to speak; get
scripture. And there are those from the lesser prophets and the main
ones. The words of Christ Jesus, Yeshua Emanuel are words that are
at mountain peaks, mountaintops; you can call them mountaintop
words, or lectures, or teachings.
So in my
pursuit of spiritual growth and learning of the mysteries of God, I
have learned to listen with big ears, to the loud words, of Yeshua,
of Jesus, who is the Christ, who was God in the flesh who walked the
earth to teach us how to follow His example. So I listen closely to
what Jesus has to say. Once you get to this understanding then you
can hear clearly the voice of the Shepherd teaching us how to follow
His example.

B
OB -1.
This is a “Bob” devotional, not a “BYOB” devotional (BYOB=Bring
Your Own Bottle). This devotional is based on a true story. You
may have heard that the Muslim name for God, for their god is
Allah. You may have heard that Allah stands for arm, leg, leg,
arm, head, and therefore it is a sign of man. (You may have
heard this in “Five Percenters” conversations.) This very well
may be true but that is not what this devotional is about. This
devotional is about giving satan power when he does not have
any.
I met
a person named Bob. It doesn't matter whether Bob is a woman or
man. What does matter is this, Bob looks like a believer and
sounds like a believer, but it is questionable whether he is
truly a believer of Christ, of Jesus who is the Christ. Please
understand that it's important to know that satan prostitutes
anything that he can if it is of God or of man. He will
prostitute anything which will allow him to take Power away from
God, Glory from God or take the smile off of God's face. There
are a great many things about Bob that needs to be discussed,
but at this time we will focus on only one thing.
Imagine a cross. Bob believes that God owns the vertical and
satan owns a horizontal. Imagine the cross; the vertical being
the part of the cross pointing up, while the horizontal part of
the cross points parallel to the ground. Symbolically, we are
talking about the vertical being the eternal or spiritual, and
the horizontal being the carnal or earthly. So Bob wants to say
that God owns the vertical heavenly and satan owns the
horizontal or the earth, that satan reigns on earth now. His
reasoning is that because of the chaos and evil that we see and
hear about everyday on the news from around the world.
On
the surface this may seem true--but it is a lie from hell.
Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth belongs to God! Everything in
all the world is his!” (LB) If you are not a Bible scholar,
a studier of the word, or you are not focused when spiritual
things, then you may miss it. So in a casual conversation with
Bob, one may say, “Yes, you're right about, satan does own the
horizontal. He does own the earth because look like hell down
here; there is evil abounding triumphing over good.” And one may
think, “You're right, he does own you in the horizontal.” If you
come out of your face with any statements like these two
“agreeing” statements, you will be the loser. Because you will
have just opened a spiritual door for satan to send in his
troops. Do not be the loser… Christ is in control; He did not
die the gruesome death that He did for satan to have control on
earth.

“And
all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye
shall receive.”
MATTHEW 21:22
(KJV)
“Ye ask, and receive
not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon
your lusts.”
JAMES 4:3
(KJV)
L
ife knows and now you
do
,
that there are not a great many absolutes (complete,
unconditional), or inclusives (the limits and extremes are
applied to everyone and everything). When Jesus Emmanuel spoke
of an absolute, inclusive, He would say, “Verily, verily;”
in Scripture, He would often be heard saying. “Verily,
verily, I say unto you…” What followed was an
absolute. Check your Bible; that should be a fun exercise.
A
universal truth that man can enhance, can get to, has to learn
and understand, and desire to live by-- is that WE ALL NEED ONE
ANOTHER. This is a universal truth. This is at the Heart of
God—for people to live together in peace and love.
One
way to please God is to learn how to live together with one
another in peace and harmony; this is to include unity and love.
A simple way to start this enormous task is to learn to ask.
What am I talking about? We are social creatures, human beings
are social mammals who need one another. It’s a “team spirit”
kind of a thing. Sure we can be independent to some degree of
one another, but God made us in His Image which is One of being
included in a network of beings. To start this simple but
enormous task of living together in peace, harmony, unity, and
love; one can start with these effective tools:
1. Learn to ask.
2. Learn how to ask.
3. Learn to expect.
4. Learn how to expect.
5. Learn to receive.
6. Learn how to receive
O
ne.
Learning to ask. This is not as simple as it reads on the
surface. If you are not asking for assistance, counseling,
friendship, fellowship, partnership, love; and the list can go
on. If you are not looking to receive a blessing from God by
asking one of His Children, the Saints, to help you; you may be
missing a blessing that God has for you and those you touch.
Your helpers may be waiting for someone to come and ask. God may
have positioned them to GIVE, and they have been looking for
that opportunity to place that gift. Why not ask? Because you
really do not want to receive? Or? Well try this on for
starters:
One might not be worthy or feel worthy for any number of
reasons.
It may not be one's time; it may not be God's time.
That is not my cup of tea; I do things a certain way.
I am too old; my feet hurt, my arthritis is acting up.
I don't like traveling-flying, buses, trains are no good
for me.
I don't like trying new things—you are only inviting
trouble.
I'm afraid; I do not what will happen—what to expect.
I cannot speak the language; I will be all alone.
I'm too pretty; can’t break a nail.
I'm too ugly; do not want anyone to see me.
I'm too smart; I do not want to waste my knowledge on
it.
I'm too dumb; I don’t know what to do or how to do it.
I’m too tired; I work two jobs—gotta get some sleep.
Or the devil's personal favorite; I am too proud; don’t
touch me.
A
ny excuse will do
,
to excuse anyone from anything that they really don't want to
do. People like to say God knows my heart. Scripture. But God,
yes surely knows your heart, and people can easily see your
heart, where your heart is -- because your action will show
where your heart truly is. Where you spend your time and energy
and for what causes, shows not only God, and mankind, but
yourself and your enemies, where your heart has lead you. Your
mouth may say where your heart is, but where your body
spends most of its time and energy says where your heart
truly is. You cannot lie to neither yourself nor to God about
where you spend your time; it is sinful to live in denial.
You're not any of those negative things above. And whenever or
if you tell yourself that, or anyone tells you that, or anything
tells you that, then you say: “The Lord rebuke thee.” or
“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus (Emmanuel).” Know or learn or
understand that it is okay to ask; ask Christ first. Look at
“Learning to Ask,” this way; let me bring it on home. If you ask
anyone for anything, they will say either, “Yes,” or “No.”
(Eventually, in some unfortunate cases.) That is a fifty, fifty
(50-50) chance or the odds are 50%. If you play the lottery, you
know you cannot get odds like these there. Christ gives 100%
odds of success in Him. Try asking Him—and come—ask—correctly.
“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep
his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his
sight.” 1 John 3:22 (KJV)

T
he Power to
Fulfillment.
The power of your fulfillment is the name that you give to
your conception. We have come to the place where words
counts. Words carry trademark in life. The word you speak
today will yield tomorrow.
Those who choose their words wisely will reap fulfillment in
life. The answer we have to life question is the name we
give to our conception. Until your conception is brought
forth, there can be no trademark. If your conception does
not have a naming ceremony, it is not a conception.
The seed which Mary conceived was name before birth and that
name bear all through eternity. Men are still calling Him
the name "Jesus" (Savior). It is no doubt that when the sick
encounter the name, there is deliverance. When the barren
encounter this name, she become fruitful and become mother
of children.
When the blind came in contact with the name Jesus, They had
no other options than to see. When the dead met with the
name Jesus, they were raised back to life.
Today you can experience the power of the name Jesus for a
transformation and deliverance from the power of satan. You
don't have to have a front backer (to keep people in the
front from leaving) or a back backer; if they choose to walk
way, before the name can work for you, it is their choice.
The name can stand by ITSELF (Romans 10:13 –“for,
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.””). It is one thing to know the name and another
thing to believe in the name.
Jesus gave his disciples the right to use His name and you
too can have the same power and you can experience the right
benefits that are in the name of Jesus.
LORD, thank You for
allowing us to know that there are those of us who understand
and hear Your Voice and see Your Mysteries and are able to
receive that Manna which You have set before Your Children. Have a great day in
Christ. Christ, have a great day, as usual. Bless You LORD!

Are you unstoppable, single minded? Do you want to be a
pioneer?
“HE LIFTS UP A BANNER FOR THE DISTANT NATIONS. HE WHISTLES FOR
THOSE FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.”
ISAIAH 5:26
I
am a
pioneer.
18 years ago I heard the call of God as He whistled to me at the
ends of the earth. New Zealand is the ends of the earth. God is
whistling today for men and women to rise and follow Him to un
reached peoples in un reached places. The Himalayas are calling.
It’s a Macedonian call “Will you come over and help us?” Men are
crying out for apostolic, prophetic conferences to equip and
empower them. This year only two men responded to help in the
team that went for one month to do five conferences touching and
changing the lives of nearly 1,400 persons from 133 churches
across the region. Reader, I want to ask you “Where are the
men?”
Why is it so few men will obey the Lord?
Why is it so few men will hear the cry of the Spirit to go to
this needy region where millions live without Christ?
Pioneer Grandmothers! Unstoppable! Single
minded! Willing to obey God whatever the cost! Whoever heard of
grandmothers preaching, teaching, washing feet, serving
communion, doing drama, ministering in power and authority,
healing the sick, delivering and setting captives free.
Grandmothers serving the Lord, obeying His voice, prophesying
over hundreds. Ridiculous! Or is it? God takes the weak to
confound the wise!
Are you going to wait till you are a grandmother or grandfather?
What a tragedy! God wants to use you now!
We need you! Teams are needed for the many conferences scheduled
in Asia. Some things are only revealed and uncovered by the
desperate! Desperation to be used of God drives these precious
ladies for whom the church in the West has little use.
Do you want to be used? How desperate are
you? Desperate enough to be single minded unstoppable, to move
into the new.
Robyn was such a person. Diagnosed with
breast cancer she traveled to the Region three weeks after her
major surgery! Nothing was going to stop her! Dayle was another
woman who believed God for her miracle. Terminal with cancer she
traveled to a restricted nation where a national team and the
team prayed over her. Within two days she was cancer free.
Pioneers of faith, vision and obedience.
New things, new areas, new vision awaits the pioneer. Do you
want to be a pioneer?
Pray with me now: Lord I surrender my will
to You. Make me like You a true pioneer. Unstoppable, single
minded, filled with fire and passion, moving in to the new. Give
me new vision. Amen.
BE A PIONEER

MESSIAH, Lord allow us
to see with spiritual eyes the things which are really important

Children change their focus from the world and place it on You,
O LORD and on Your Work. Bless
Your Children Lord Christ. Have a great day!
Penitence is the beginning of submission. Submission is what God
requires.
“And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman
of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong
drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
1
SAMUEL 1:15
(KJV)
Divine penitence results in
forgiveness;
and God's compassion towards our sorrowfulness results in our
being forgiven. To receive Divine Forgiveness, one must be
Sorrowful. To be able to give forgiveness, one must have had
something for which to have been forgiven. This allows us to
have the compassion of Christ to give the gentleness which is
required to speak to those who need Christ.
Strong’s defines “sorrowful: as – churlish, cruel, grievous,
hard, heavy sore, sorrowful… This is a very strong type of
sorrow. Sorrow of the power or strength of a mother grieving for
a lost child, or a soldier grieving over a lost limb, or a child
sorrowing over the lack of food. These are the type of strong
sorrows which are required when seeking forgiveness without
Christ and with Christ Jesus.
Dictionary.com says: pen·i·tent: 1. feeling or expressing
sorrow for sin or wrongdoing and disposed to atonement and
amendment; repentant; contrite; -noun-- 2. a penitent person; 3.
Roman Catholic Church. a person who confesses sin and submits to
a penance.
Penitence in prayer is BIG -- Physical penitence, emotional
penitence, and verbal penitence.
1.
Physical penitence—submission in prayer. Penitence in
physical prayer posture—the position---the prone prayer
position. The three “P’s” -- Prone Prayer Position---this is
BIG. Not only in prayer position, but also, how we physically
care for our bodies which are the Temples for the Holy Spirit.
What we place in our bodies and on our bodies should help the
body serve God and His Family.
2.
Emotional penitence—penitence in our hearts, in our emotions
moves us to communication with God AND moves us into a position
for our communication to be received by God. Pertinence in our
emotions towards God is big. We have to submit our emotions to
God through Christ Jesus. This includes both the negative and
positive emotions. When we are truly vulnerable to God, i.e.,
laying our hearts and lives out before Him in sorrowful
submission; God then has us where He can knead us into the type
of “bread” He will serve at His Table.
3. Verbal
penitence—Penitence
in the actual words of your prayer. Actually asking for
forgiveness; repenting. The example of penitent prayer which
Jesus gave us is:
“After
this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in
earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”
Matthew 6:9-15
(KJV)
Love
unconditionally with submission. Give without expectation of
return. Expect the unexpected. Love without remorse. Share
without reservation of self.
“I
am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me
up on high.” Psalm 69:29
(KJV)

Investment in our children is the best possible investment.
“Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
PROVERBS 22:6(KJV)
T
he word “train up”
here means: “To narrow the child’s way properly, e.g. Jesus said
there is a broad way leading to death and a narrow way leading
to life”. It also means “To start, initiate”, which speaks about
our responsibility to do it. Our children will not learn by
themselves. Finally, the word does mean: “To train up, to
discipline, to commit”
Let us invest in our children in the following 12 areas:
God’s calling and purpose in their life, which will put an
end to the chaos and lack of order in their life. Tell your
children the Lord has a purpose and a mission for their
life.
God’s doctrine in their life. This speaks of their faith,
convictions, concepts. Talk to them to find out what they
think about the major issues of life and guide them in the
right paths.
Redeeming the time (Ecc 3:11). Their time must be committed
to the values of the Kingdom of God. If a person has the
right perspective of time, he will succeed in everything.
Building the fruit of the Spirit, and not the works of the
flesh, in them (Galatians 5).
Developing the gifts and talents of the Spirit in them (1
Corinthians 12).
Developing a creative thinking in them. Let your children be
creative, different and unique in their thinking. Also
develop their creativity in the financial area.
Let them have a Godly character.
Let them have compassion and feel for the needs of others.
Let them be obedient to the authorities the Lord has placed
in their lives.
Let them be willing to identify and pay the price for what
they must become, including not quitting when tried, rejected
or confused.
Develop the reality of God in their life through your own
example. Challenging, ha?
Let them be people of power and not of words only. Let them
be practical and pragmatic to the fullest.
ADONAI, LORD, thank You
for our precious jewels we call our children. Thank you as our
children grow in You O CHRIST and exhibit Your qualities as they
follow Your example instead of ours. Let us teach them You, by
them seeing You in us. Bless
Your Children Lord Christ. Have a great day!
The
discovery of knowledge is the route to fulfillment.
In
other words it is not the prayer that promotes your fulfillment
in destiny; it is WORD DISCOVERY.
“To a virgin exposed to a man whose name was Joseph of the house
of David and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel said unto
her, Fear not for thou has found favour with God. And behold
thou shall conceive in thy womb and bearing forth a son and
shall call his name Jesus.”
Luke 1:27-31
T
he Importance of a
Seed.
Every seed has life and every seed is able to bear fruit. We
have come to know that the Angel came with a message, which was
the spoken word. The seed that brought forth the Promise of
Man's Redemption to fulfillment lies in the SPOKEN WORD.
“Thou shall conceive in thy womb.” The discovery of
knowledge is the route to fulfillment.
In
other words it is not the prayer that promotes your fulfillment
in destiny; it is word discovery. It is time to discover what
has been said about your life and your destiny. There is a word
that contains God's Voice for your life. Until you grasp this
Word you may chase shadows in life until you receive the Word
that is destined to position you to change your life.
Jesus
rightly said, “...if thou hadest known in this thy day…”(Luke 19:42). It is time for the Church to be awakened to
the place of discovery. This is the kind of discovery that
brings fulfillment and distinction.
The
prophect Hosea said, “My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge.” Knowledge comes by God's Word and enhanced by
diligent search (I Peter 1:10-12). The process of
fulfillment starts with diligent search for what has been
written about you for you.
This
searching should be specific (I Peter 1:11).
Do
you know what time the Spirit of Christ is signifying for your
fulfillment? If you do not have a promise, please do not talk
about fulfillment. Fulfillment is not for busy bodies, but it is
for the diligent searchers. Even the three wise men did search
diligently for the child with the star as their fulfillment.
What
are you doing? It is time that you are awakened to search for
your fulfillment. May the Lord help you to find your fulfillment
in life. I pray God's blessings upon your life in Jesus name.
LORD thank You for
allowing us to know that You have designed Spiritual Fulfillment
and Spiritual Success into the fabric of our lives. Let us
understand that and walk and speak life and Christ into our
lives, our days, and those we come into contact with. Bless
Your Children Lord Christ. Have a great day!

The level at which we are forgiven is the level
which we will be able to forgive others as we grow spiritually.
“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done
in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”

ivine
penitence results in forgiveness – 2.
God's
compassion towards our sorrowfulness results in our being
forgiven. To receive Divine Forgiveness, one must be Sorrowful.
To be able to give forgiveness, one must have had something for
which to have been forgiven. This allows us to have the
compassion of Christ to give the gentleness which is required to
speak to those who need Christ.
This
is the devotional from
Sunday, 14 October 2007. If there is a part two to that
devotional, it is this one.
Love unconditionally with submission.
The level at which we are forgiven is
the level which we will be able to forgive others. Our
Compassion of Christ within will be at that level since this is
the highest level which we have been allowed to experience
Christ. We can grow beyond this high level if there is that
desire and understanding to grow further and closer to CHRIST.
Hear this: Jesus in the above scripture does not say, “Say these
words like this.” He says, “After this manner, therefore pray
ye:” Strong’s G3778; in this way (referring to what
precedes or follows): - after that, after (in) this manner, as,
even (so), for all that, like (-wise), no more, on this fashion
(-wise), so (in like manner), thus, what. Christ is saying,
“Follow My example, not only these words and their order, but
the example that these words are telling you to do, act, and how
to live.” Listen.
Our Father
–- honor thy parents. “For God commanded, saying, Honor
thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or
mother, let him die the death.” Matthew 15:4“Honor
thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.” Matthew 19:19 (KJV)
Which art in Heaven
-- earth is God’s footstool… there is a better place
prepared for you… so do not get attached to what you have
here… be a great steward, but there is something better
prepared for you…
Hallowed be thy name
– Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God, YAHWEH, the Most
High Adonai. The true name of God (witnessed by its
Tetragrammaton nature) is to be hallowed and honored above
all others.
Thy Kingdom Come
– not my Fiefdom come, my McMansion come, my Bently come,
but Your Kingdom come. Your Kingdom in my life, Your Kingdom
in my body, in my thoughts, my life’s direction and those of
my children—our focus is God, Jehovah, Elohim, El Shaddai.
Thy will be done
– God’s Will in my life, must be done—not my boss’ will, nor
my parents will, nor my boss’ boss’ will—and guess what?—not
even my will, my hedonistic, selfish will be done.
In earth
-- not "on earth" (satanic
word trap) – in me. Your Will be done because I am
just a magical piece of clay, a knock-off of Jesus--in
earth, in me. God’s Will be done in us (dirt/clay), on earth
(on its surface), on earth as on every sparkling, dirty
grain of sand or every dirty, muddy thing, or shiny
sparkling car has God’s Will wrapped all around it--as has
every created matter and anti-matter and things known to man
and unknown. See devotional series on dirt: Sunday, 9 January 2005.
The level at which we submit to God is the level to which we
will be able to grow in spiritual understanding in CHRIST. To be
continued. Have a blessed day!

Adonai, LORD Jesus, thank You again for giving us so many
examples to follow. Let
us not miss You while following some other example or while
following the world and how the world does things. Help us to
understand that is not like You. Amen. Have a great day!
“Now the Lord had said to Abram, Get out of your country, from
your family,
and from your father’s family to a land that I will show you.”
GENESIS 12:3
A
bram left
all to birth his vision.
He obeyed God leaving all his security, all his family. He left
everything of the old and familiar. He left his home, his
activities, his occupation and went into the unknown. A land he
did not know, to a people he did not know, to conditions with
which he was totally unfamiliar. He did not hesitate, or delay,
or ask himself why. He obeyed. There was no arguing, or
questioning or doubting was that really you God? No he was eager
to follow the Lord, eager to obey His voice, calm and secure in
the fact that God had spoken.
“Will you buy my cucumbers? June sold
cucumbers! She had little money but believing God had spoken to
her to go to India on a missions trip as a member of one of our
teams she took the crooked, bent, misshapen cucumbers from her
son”s farm and sold them wherever she could to raise the money
necessary for her to go. Money or lack of money would not stop
her!
The people gathered around the barbecue stand on a windy, rainy
day outside the huge store. The display was blown by the wind as
Sharon explained,” I’m doing this to raise money to go to
India. These are the children we are seeking to help and the
places to which I will go. Men and women came by drawn by the
tantalizing smell of onions cooking they paused to gaze and left
with a hot sausage after saying to Sharon here is $10, $20 or
$30 just keep the change! Some even stuffed money in her
pockets and into her hands. Sharon was a single mother with
little money but great determination, believing that God had
spoken she was determined to obey the Lord and Go. A pioneer
must obey. A pioneer must Go.
Hebrews 11:8
[Amplified] says, “Urged
on by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place
which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went,
although he did not know or trouble his mind about where
he was to go.”
Abraham began a new move of God. When God spoke about the
Himalayas four women urged on by faith went forth to begin a new
move of God.
All these qualities of the pioneer were there in Abraham and
Sarah’s lives. -they had the urge to set ablaze a new trail
towards their dreams, they were versatile and flexible to move
to their goals. Their determination charted the course for
others. They would not settle on excuses, they had an ability to
advance ahead and instill confidence.
They provided a cutting edge to influence and impact the society
they were moving into.
Their determination and obedience caused them to go forth and
receive the inheritance of many descendants. If our vision is to
be birthed we must ask the Lord for these qualities to be
birthed in our lives.
Let us do it now:
Lord Jesus give me please the determination and obedience
necessary to be a pioneer. I want to be urged on by faith to
chart the course for others. Give me peace and calm to move in
and take new territories to receive the inheritance You have
promised to those who love and obey You. Amen.

“The
earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof;
the world,
and they that dwell therein”
PSALM 24:1
(KJV)
F
or several days nowthe Lord has been
dealing with me concerning several words with identical meaning,
having in mind the context of God’s purpose: co-owner,
co-worker, and inheritor. You see, everything is the Lord’s,
yet, the Lord Himself has made us co-owners, co-workers and
co-inheritors with His Son Jesus Christ. Can you believe that?
If we realize that,
everything will change – our attitude, our actions, our faith.
When a person is an owner of something, he takes a good care of
it. We are constant witnesses of offended people, not interested
people, people full of apathy. That’s because they do not
realize they are co-owners of God’s Universe, co-owners of God’s
Earth, co-owners of our families, co-owners of the vision of our
ministries, and co-owners of our own ministries, jobs and
businesses.
He Lord owns everything,
and everything is made by and for Him, but He is sharing it with
us. Wow. Apostle Paul prayed: “Wherefore
I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love
unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making
mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your
understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the
hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding
greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the
working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he
raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right
hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality,
and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is
named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to
come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave
him to be the head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.”
(Ephesians 1:15-23).
My God, this prayer says
it all – all belongs to the Lord, He gives it to us, we are to
realize it through the opening of our spiritual senses (eyes,
ears and heart) and we are to act upon it, so we can enter into
our inheritance.
Lord God, Adonai, thank You
for allowing us to be co-owners, co-workers
and co-inheritors with Your Son Jesus Christ.
This is something quite amazing that You will give such a thing to
us, but we receive it in the name of Christ. Amen.
The level at which we submit to God is the level to which we
will be able to grow in spiritual understanding in CHRIST.
“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done
in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”

ivine penitence
results in forgiveness – 3.

the other devotionals in this series:
DEVOTIONAL ARCHIVES: Sunday, October, 14; Friday, October 19;
Monday, October 29; Sunday, November 4th,
and
Friday, November 9th. God's compassion towards our
sorrowfulness results in our being forgiven. To receive Divine
Forgiveness, one must be Sorrowful. To be able to give
forgiveness, one must have had something for which to have been
forgiven. This allows us to have the compassion of Christ to
give the gentleness which is required to speak to those who need
Christ.
As it is in heaven – “Thy will be done,”
God’s Will in my life, must be done—not my boss’ will, nor my
parents will, nor my boss’ boss’ will—and guess what?—not even
my will. El Shaddai’s Will in Heaven is done like we breathe,
see, hear, touch, smell, and use our brains here on earth. God
wants us to do His Will here on earth like that, but WILLILNGLY,
out of our love for Him. In Heaven there is no doubt that God’s
Will is done. Every Creation there (in Heaven) without failing,
without doubting, without grumbling, without remorse, without
consternation—follow YAHWEH’s (Omnipotent (all powerful),
Omnipresent (always present), Omniscient (all knowing) Will.
What was that “hiccup” with satan all about?
Give us this day – You, O LORD, has awakened us this day into whatever situation
stands before us– with CHRIST inside like the “energizer bunny”
we can do all things. “I can do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 (KJV) Let us do
the tasks in this day You have given us. Since You are allowing
us to wake up and are giving us a day – the least we can do is
to do something for You, Adonai with the assistance of Christ,
the Holy Spirit, and God’s entire Creation.
Our daily bread
– if we work for You, O LORD, You guarantee us success through
adversity, joy through tears, patience through strife, eternal
life through ELOHIM’s Son Christ Jesus. If we follow the example
of Jesus, who is the Christ, we receive His Daily Bread for us.
God is the only employer who guarantees you success at work if
only you put forth a little effort; He will magnify your
efforts. Jesus will show you how to receive your daily bread as
you pray and communicate with Him. You can count on God to give
you a raise at the end of the year or month; He will lower your
level of spiritual vulnerability which will give you a raise in
spiritual development though life circumstances. To be
continued.
FOLLOW THE LEAD OF JESUS

Adonai,
LORD allow us to learn Your ways from You. LORD, please teach us how
to be more like You. Teach us how to better hear Your voice and not
the voice of man or the evil ones. Lord, make peace available in our
lives and let us know how to activate it. Amen.

moment to stop for someone else. Helping others help you.
“The
LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth
my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's
sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of
mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”
PSALM
23
(KJV)
C
hurch Work and Kingdom
Work go together.
Not only pay your tithes and offerings, but do work in the field
also. Do Kingdom Work along with Church Work. Get out in the field
like Jesus did. Here is my personal example of how to use God’s
Word. My son was in jail in Athens, Georgia, facing 15 years. He had
several charges against him. My wife and I decided to see him the
day before the trial. When we arrived at the jail, I spotted this
lady crying at the gate. She was approximately 83 years of age. I
said to my wife, “Let’s check this lady out to see why she is
crying.” My wife wanted to keep on going to see my son. I said, “If
you want to help your son, we got to find out why this lady is
crying at the gate.”
So we
walked over to this lady and asked her why she was crying. She said,
my husband got beat up last night and I paid my cab driver my last
$8 to see him and they will not let me in to see him because I do
not have the proper id.” I spoke up real bold and I meant it. I said
to this lady, “Let’s go back to the same jailer and go in.”
She said,
“How you going to do that? I just left there.” I said, “The three of
us are going to start right now saying the 23rd psalm.
Right now together aloud. And we going to believe it from the top of
our head to the bottom of our feet. And we are going to BIND that
whole jail. “The lord is my Sheppard, I shall not want…” And
guess what happened? Before the jailer could get the ugly words out
of his mouth, the head jailer came out and said, “Lady, I am going
to let you in this time but do not come back in here any more with
out the proper id. We not talking about next time—we talking about
this time---NOW.
The lady
turned around and asked me, what church do you belong to? Ladies and
gentlemen, I am not talking about the building where we worship God,
I am talking about the church inside each one of us. If we do not go
out there and execute that church when we see or hear about a
disturbing situation. It is just like that church doesn’t even
exist.
When you
start doing this, the blessings will drop like snowflakes falling
from the sky. The next day, at the trial, when my son stood up in
front of that judge, the judge just looked at him. Then the judge
picked up the file from the desktop, and whirled around in his big
fancy chair and looked out in space for about five minutes and said,
“Son go home.”
Now, I
want to ask everyone who reads this testimony, “What do you think
would have happened if my wife and I had not took the time out of
our busy schedules to ask the lady why was she crying?
LORD, please forgive us when we do not give you the time and
attention You desire. CHRIST help us not to ignore the Voice of God
and the Holy Spirit. JESUS show us how to give God the respect He
deserves. HOLY SPIRIT speak to us and guide us along the paths God
has for our lives. Selah, thank You, amen.
"Be not deceived; evil communication corrupt good manners."
I Corinthians 15:33 (KJV)
E
vil communication
involves wrong association. Men and women of vision can die without
accomplishing anything because they did not check the "JONAHs" they
carry around as friends. I must be frank with you, friends can
lift, friends can kill. If your friendship is divinely connected
then you will have divine success. I challenge you to check your
friendship because many are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Friendship is meant for compliment. If you keep friends who compete
with you, you better check out of that association (Proverb
22:24-25). Wrong persons in your life can get your soul into a
snare. It is time to check the people you keep as friends on your
way to success. "LOTs" in your journey could be very fatal. Those
who you think mean a lot could mean "LOT" in your life (Genesis
13:9).
Listen to me when I say this, those who allow JONAH into their ships
will reap the tempest. Don't keep meat in the hands of a dog. When
God connects you, no man can disconnect you.
I Samuel 10:26-27,
”Saul
also went to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by valiant men whose
hearts God had touched. But some troublemakers said, "How can this
fellow save us?" They despised him and brought him no gifts. But
Saul kept silent.” (NIV)
There are two kinds of people here. On your way to success you need
"HELPERS" whom God hath touched. Those whom God did not touch will
disdain you, many of them will despise you, or discourage your
efforts. May God remove you from the influence of despisers and
discouragers in Jesus name. I challenge you to start believing in
God for divine HELPERs. They are marks to bring about your
dream and goals in this life. Some may be insignificant according to
man’s standard, like the little boy with Samson; but they are the
ones that are divine. They attach to your destiny. I declare upon
your life today, that your helpers will meet you by a divine
calculated time. May the Lord Almighty be your HELPER in JESUS NAME.
May God remove you from
the influence of despisers and discouragers in Jesus name. I
challenge you to start believing in God for divine HELPERs. I

in JESUS NAME. Amen.
