Now That the Pandemic Is Passing, Where Did It Leave Your Faith?

When storms come our way in life, we tend to weigh our lives by or walk by the severity and type storm. Often times we measure ourselves or our Christian walk by outside influences or internal conflicts. In this world, this human mindset is now the norm, and reason, humility, honor, and common sense are becoming a rarity not only in this world but also in the Church. Most people in society today will speak of how great a world it would be if we could get rid of the evil in the world to stop all the violent people who commit evil. But I say that the first step in cleaning up our society starts when you begin by restoring yourself from your subjugated life styles.

Mark 4:17-19 says, “And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.”

As we begin to slowly reincorporate back into the hands of our sometimes hectic, chaotic life, what do we learn from the experience? Have you become a saint or maybe more of an “‘aint”? One thing that all of us fail to realize is that the pandemic has not ended but just begun, that the pandemic of sin and faithlessness is right beside disbelief, which most
people in society, as well as the children of God, have been overtaken by.

Romans 7:14-20
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.


As Paul has put it, it’s the constant struggles of our mortal flesh in direct conflict with our soul. Why halt you between to opinions? If you believe Jesus is God and that He is will do what He said he’d do or if you won’t believe He will do, then why keep playing Christian? If you want to do the worldly thing, then do it wholeheartedly.

In my conclusion, I’ll leave you with these words found in 1 Peter 4:7-13:
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. 9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging. 10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

You Must First Wait and Anticipate Before a Change Can Start to Gestate in You

Most of us have heard the saying “anticipation is making me wait,” from the Heinz ketchup commercial. All of us live in a shake & bake society, where if things are not done within 1 to 5 minutes if possible, in our lives or jobs, we get stressed and very emotional to the point sometimes where it would effect our health. There is another saying for example which says, “Good things come to them who wait.” Now this is an example of someone who has little to no patience. As we have seen from this Corona-virus pandemic, this world has very short if any patience for anything, even when their own life hangs on the balance. People panicking, hoarding, fighting over something that they don’t have control of. People were told to stay at home and when they’re out from their homes, they have to wear a mask plus stay 6 feet apart. From this we have learned that lack of faith and patience breeds discontent, restlessness, anger, jealousy, disobedience and even death. We must remember that the only time we don’t comply to man’s law is when it is in direct contradiction to the Word of God and Jesus Christ, for the highest power of all is the power that was given to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The book of Colossians 2:9-10 says, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:”

Know this, that where there is lack of faith or no faith at all, there can be no beliefs in anything that you hold true. The Word of God says in Hebrews 11:6, that without faith it’s impossible to please Him. In simple terms, if you can’t accept the truth then you won’t believe or understand in what is reality. That means you would be stuck in a lie. That leads us back to this: how can you wait or anticipate change and wait for it to gestate in you when you don’t have real faith in God that it will take place?

Hebrews 6:10-12 reads:
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the
promises.


So, one must understand that to know the truth of what’s happening around you, you must first open your heart and let it receive the truth words of Jesus Christ with love and humility of heart.,


In my conclusion, Hebrews 13:17 goes on to say:
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Also Isaiah 40:31 says:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint


For your own reading time, read Jude 1:1-21.


Thank you for listening to God’s word.

A Sinful Act Leaves a Trail and a Residue in a Personal Life

As a hunter goes out into the bushier woods, he’s constantly on the lookout for broken branches, prey trails and signs of the prey’s tracks to determine what type of prey it is. In like manner, when a detective is looking for a criminal, he looks for signs of a crime that have been committed by the accused. The detective looks for clues and signs of the accuse’s involvement in said crime, by seeking out evidence that makes up a trail of the accuse’s whereabouts during the time of the alleged incident. This in turn could prove the accused innocent or guilty. So then the detective begins to bring out his tools of the trade by checking with eye witness. Then he will start dusting for finger prints to see if the accused was even Present at the time. If they find items on the site, then they will bring out the dogs who will use their keen sense of smell to track down the suspect.

People need to understand that your life’s walk in this world leaves a trail and a residue weather good or bad. Every trail has a sign of tracks that tell what types of activities and situations that have transpired in that person life. If you didn’t know, demonic spirits keeps records of all your ungodly activities at all times, weather you’re Christian or not. If this is what demons are doing, what do think the angels in heaven are doing?

Luke 8:16-18 says, “No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.”


You must under stand that the Lord’s eyes are upon you all you say, all you think and all you do.

Proverbs 5:21 says, “For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD,
and he pondereth all his goings.”


Matthew 7:13-14 states, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”


In my conclusion, I’ll direct you to Matthew 10:22-28:


22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

What’s in Front of You That‘s Keeping You From Reaching Christ?

Often times we go through things in our natural walk in life that tend to put constrains on our emotional state of mind, there by leading us into physical incapacity. Sometimes that physical and mental incapacity will lead to a damaging effect on our psyche, or in other words our soul. An incapacity in your soul will ultimately setup a instability in your life-walk which contains your natural and spiritual walk (Flesh & Soul). I’m not trying to sound so philosophical, I’m just want all of you to know that cleaving to the things and the affair and emotions of you life-walk will leave you with an uncertain and confused understanding of yourself and others. Needlessly to say, it will lead to a disjointed relationship with Jesus Christ. Follow me as I cover a few things that are common among human beings first, then I will address people of God the “true Christians” last.

HUMAN:
A. Cares of this worldly life. Example: P.M.S. “ power, money, sex.”
B. Prideful heart and mind, with no humility
C. The Idolatrous mindset. Example: the mind that is quick to worship something before having an understanding
D. A faithful refusal to accept the truth because of subjugation

In the Bible, Christians:
A. Walking as a Christian without knowing or understanding what the will of Jesus is for them.
B. Moving in zeal and not in authority.
C. Lacking in faith with little patience.
D. Lots of or lack of fire but no fuel.

Proverbs 3:5-14 reads:
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD;
neither be weary of his correction: 12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver,
and the gain thereof than fine gold.

So if you are holding onto things or people in this life, then this is like standing with one foot in the fire and the other water. It’s your choice, whether it be you all in or you all out. It time to choose. The Word of God says choose you this day who you will serve.

In my conclusion let’s read Colossians 3:1-16

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which
things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye
thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.


It is So in Jesus Name.

As for Me and My House, We Will Serve the Lord, so Who Are You Serving in Your House?

As we go through our sometime wearisome, inconsistent life, we are constantly under attack from people and also battling spiritual fatigue. Sometimes you may feel like every time you make one step forward, something pulls you three steps backwards. We all go through rough and sometimes unbearable pain in our walk, peradventure even dare to think of giving up. That is why we have to cast all our cares on the Lord Jesus for He cares for us. You always need to remember, only the one that endures to the end of all the testing, trails, situations, and emotional neglect shall be saved.

The word of our Lord and Savior in James 1:1-14 says:

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double
minded man is unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: 10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

Remember you can do all thing through Christ that strengths you. We are on a battle field and the enemy is trying to take you out. The more it seems that we are under fire in this life, know this: The Lord is working things out for you so that He can put the right thing in you. So stop fighting the Will of God in your life.

1 peter 4: 12-19 says:


12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God
on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them that
suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.


In my Conclusion, lets read Galatians 6:9:


9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Also, Jeremiah 29:11-14:


11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.


I hope you take note of this word for in it God can revive spiritual fatigue and a wearisome walk, so never give up and never surrender. Thanks and this has been publicly announced!
