Let Nothing Stop You From Spreading God's Word

All too often, especially in this day and age, the Children of God shrink back from spreading the gospel. Either out of fear, timidity, lack of time or some just don't. But at the end of the day there is no excuse. One should never let anything stop them from spreading the word of God, it is our mission, that is our purpose.

We who are the children of God are called Christians (Little Christs); now how be it of us to take that title and not live up to it. To be called a Christian is so much more than what we realize. Being called a Christian is not just some title that people came up with to identify a group of people; a Christian is a person who immolates Christ in every way. They walk like Him, talk like Him, speak like Him, think like Him and much more. So it's really an insult to God to call yourself a Christian if you do none of those things of which He asks you to do.

God didn't put His children in the earth just to see if they could make it in a rough world, throw us down a couple of blessings and then if we do right we can come home, that is not the case. God put us in the earth to take authority over it and to lead as many people to Christ as we possibly can under the unction of the Holy Spirit. With every breath and step we take we are to be establishing God's Kingdom further in the earth, that's what we're here for, that's our purpose. The Body of Christ has gotten so far away from their true identity it's no wonder we're being attacked on every end and can't get up for getting knocked down; it's because we've lost our true genetic make up. We are to be spreaders of the gospel! Not weak minded, sin filled, backsliden, narcissistic heathens, who can't get right before God. That's not what God called us to be in His Kingdom.

We are to be fire filled, Holy Ghost filled, tongue talking, sanctified,  redeemed, blood washed, warriors and spreaders of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Get that "It's all about me!" notion out of your head, it is not about you, it's about Jesus, it's about the Kingdom of God! Yes! God loves you very much so and desires for you to prosper but you aren't the center, humanity is not the center, Jesus Christ is! The day it will become all about you is when you die on the cross for sins and guess what, you can't accomplish that in your wildest dreams and it has already been done by one far greater than you.

We need more people like the Prophets and Apostles of old. We need some more Paul's, Peter's and John the Baptist, who were real men of God, not a bunch or wretched wannabe's like that of which are claiming to be apart of the Body of Christ today but are really nothing but a bunch of illegitimate children. Paul, was dragged out of a city, stoned to death, got back up and went into the next city to continue preaching. Peter, in Acts 14, was preaching along with Barnabas and they were constantly being persecuted, but did they stop? No! They kept on preaching, Acts 14:6-7 "But they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, where they continued to preach the good  news." And John the Baptist, who was the voice crying in the wilderness and preached, even to King Herod, telling him of his wrong doings to his face, even though King Herod could take his life but that didn't stop him. So what's stopping you?

Stop being so weak minded, feeble and self centered. Focus on the Kingdom, that's our duty and what a wonderful and beautiful one it is. God called you to be holy and He's given you the ability to do so! So walk in it and let nothing stop you from spreading God's word.

God Bless!

At the Feet of Jesus

JEHOVAH SHALOM REIGNS! HE IS OUR PRINCE OF PEACE!

In a world full of all sorts of debauchery, we in the Body of Christ, should just take the time out of our busy daily lives and just say, "Jehovah God! I thank you that in the midst of chaos, you keep my life in order! I thank you that you are my Lord and my Savior and that because of your sacrifice I live! All glory, praise and honor I freely give unto you my sweet Jesus! I love you with every fiber of my being! You reign! You rule! You are Jehovah Shalom! My Prince of Peace!"

We are in some tumultuous times. We have wars and rumors of wars, murder, perversion, sinfulness, idolatry and many other disasters among us, but we have to remember that no matter where we are, our Father desires peace for us.

There are so very many hurting and ailing people in the world today. We have those among us, un-saved and even the saved who are searching for peace, but can't find it. Some go to counseling, can't find it their, some go to their family, can't really find it their, some go to their friends and still can't even find it their. Some among us turn to worse things to fill this void, using that which God abhors to bring themselves some sort of pleasure; things such as pornography, idolatry and the like.

I say to my self, "Oh Lord my God in Heaven! If only people  knew how truly easy it was to have peace!" All you have to do is fall on your knees and cry out the name of Jesus! If only people knew, that He was there to answer the call, a lot of those who are lost and broken hearted would find rest and peace for their weary and worn out souls.

It's time for the Church and for the lost, to come to the end of themselves and say enough is enough, and seek peace, while it can be found! Seek Jesus! He who is Jehovah Shalom, the Prince of Peace! He's all you need! You don't have to resort to people who'll turn their back on you! You don't have to resort to worldly abominations that bring you a false since of pleasure and peace but only bring you trouble and grief! All you've got to do is go to Jesus! He's waiting for you!

God is calling His lost sheep home! Saying, "Come to me! And I will give your tired soul and your weary mind abundant peace! Peace that never leaves! Peace that never dies! Peace that is everlasting even in hard times!" So what are you waiting for? Let go! Let go of that which hinders you from a peace filled life with the presence of the magnificent Jesus in your life and run to Him! There at the feet of Jesus you will find all the peace you need and could ever desire! Unlike these worldly things, God's peace doesn't cost you a single thing. All you have to do is cry out and open your heart to receive.

It's as simple as this! No Jesus! No Peace! Know Jesus! Know Peace! For true peace can only be found at the feet of Jesus!
 
I pray for all who read this post today, that you will receive Shalom! Perfect and complete peace! Nothing broken! Nothing missing!

If you need prayer in this aspect of your life and don't know how to reach out to God, leave a comment in the comments below this post. All you have to do is say, "Pray for me." If you would like specific prayer, email me (my email is in the about me section of this blog, but here it is just in case you can't find it: pReachOut@hotmail.com)

Shalom to you all and God Bless!

Nothing Can Stop God From Saving You

1 Samuel 14:6 "Nothing can hinder God from saving, whether by many or by few."

You think God can't save you? You think you're too far gone for God to rescue you? You think you're to deep in sin for God to reach you? Wrong! You haven't done anything big enough and bad enough for God to not save you or leave you in the midst of your mess!

We all in our spiritual walk with God have been at a point where we thought that the arm of the Lord couldn't reach us. We felt like nothing and not worthy of the goodness of the Lord! My my, how wrong we are when we think this way!

You see, the devil has access to the humans mind and if he can seep in and begin to get you to believe that God doesn't love you or that God won't save you, then he has you right where he wants you, fooled and deceived! The devil roams about searching for who he can devour. Our Father said that the just shall live by faith; so why are you living by what you feel? So whose report are you going to believe? The devil's (whose a liar)? Or God's? Who came down to this very earth to save you? It makes all the sense in the world to me to just trust God! I pray you will come to that realization also.

There are some out there who refuse to be biblically encouraged. Don't be that person! Believe God! Believe in His word and trust Him! People act as though they have something to lose if they believe in God's word! Not the case!

Nothing can stop God from saving you!

Romans 8:31-39"What,then,shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all-how will He not also, along with Him,graciously gives us all thngs? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is  he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died- more than that, who was raised to life- is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

So the next time you feel as though God can't save you, rebuke the devil, tell him where he can go, flee to Jesus and get the word of God!

You're going to make it! Just believe and trust in Him!

God Bless!

Always Be on Guard

Don't get so caught up in the cares of the world that you forget what Kingdom you are in. The very armor God has given us prophesies a battle. It's when we're standing on top of our Goliath that we are most vulnerable. Due to our forgetfulness and unawareness, we are knocked off the top of the  mountain before we can even begin to prepare our weapons for battle. In the Body of Christ we need to always be on guard. In case you've forgotten, there is a devil loose.

In my walk with God, it has always amazed me how at one moment, we could be at the highest of heights and the next moment, all of a sudden, be in the darkest depths. And the Lord taught me that this was due to us not being on guard. We are to be prepared in the Body of Christ for battle at any moment. Not saying that we have to be tense and uptight, unable to unwind but more so aware and ready. Never putting our weapons down and never turning our backs on the enemy, meaning, not forgetting that he is around and that he is out to destroy.

When we are at those spiritual heights and have just overcome and came out of the fiery trial, we tend to be a bit lax and comfortable in our new position. It's amazing how quickly we forget that they pathway we're on is an unpredictable one and that the enemy lurks around some of the bends and corners.It's in those times where our heads are so far in the clouds that the devil launches his next attack and then all of the sudden, we're knocked off of our spiritual precipice, falling down to the depths of the valley, all the while trying to get our weapons ready, that should have been out and prepared in the first place.All I can say is thank God for Jesus Christ, without Him we would have no one to break that fall.

Don't wait until the battle is in full bloom to get prepared and get your weapons ready, no! Have them ready and in hand ahead of time, because it's when you least expect that, that old serpent, the choir boy, likes to show up and throw you into a spiritual tailspin. So get the armor of God out and put it on (for some of us, it's been a while and it may need a little dusting off lol!). Get the weapons of God out and have them prepared in  hand. The helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God and the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the fiery darts of the enemy. And don't forget, most importantly, the name of Jesus. Without Him you'll lose every battle and at the name of Jesus Christ spoken in faith, believing that He'll hear and answer the call, no demon can stand around.

Saints! March forward in God's remnant army and always be on guard!

God Bless!
