Do Not Be Fooled By Things!

In spite of how bad things may have been in your life, it is great to be a child of God. Even when there appears to be more problems than solutions, more questions than answers and more tears than smiles, its still great to be a child of God. No more what other people say or think about you and your personal walk with the Lord, it is great to be a child of God. So often in life we define how blessed we are by the materialistic possessions we enjoy each day. The more we have, the more blessed we think we are. To the contrary, the reason we are blessed is not because we have many things. No, no, no! We are blessed because of our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The things come as a result of our relationship with Jesus.This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My friend, Do Not Be Fooled By Things! Today you can have many things and tomorrow you could be begging. Today you can be driving the best, but tomorrow you could be hoping to catch a ride. Today you can be dressing in the famous styles, but tomorrow you could be borrowing from someone else. The Bible declares in Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. The material things we enjoy are defined as the ‘things that shall be added unto you.’ They only come when you seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Many people are living with no understanding of God’s blessing system. The blessings come through intimacy with the Lord, not through separation from the Lord.My brother, my sister, Do Not Be Fooled By Things! You must be very careful to make sure you do not become fooled by things. Many people enjoy things so much until they begin to worship the gift (idol) and not the Giver of the gifts. The Bible declares in Exodus 20:3 - Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Beloved, have you become consumed by things? Are you doing whatever it takes to possess more things? You must remember, as quick as you get it, can be as quick as you lose it. Be not deceived, there will never be any thing more important than the Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer for Today: Father, forgive me for ever becoming consumed with the possessions of life. Allow my heart and mind to always long after You. In the name of Jesus … Amen!

What God Can Do in Five Seconds

God can do more in five seconds than we can do in five hours or months or years. This is one reason the habit of prayer is wise. Sometimes we do not get the five second breakthrough because we do not ask. To be sure, God ordains to do many good things through hours or months or years of labor. Prayer is not meant to replace toil. For example, God wills that a chapter be read, or a meal prepared, or a friend visited in the space of hours not seconds. He wills that a house be built in months not hours. He wills that a child be reared in years not months. But there are breakthroughs which could come in seconds. They often take us hours or days or months if they come at all. I have in mind especially the breakthroughs of insight that open a world of life changing truth and practical wisdom. All of Us Have Blind Spots and Blind Moments Many obstacles to joy and fruitfulness are owing to the fact that we cannot see reality the way it is. We cannot see the meaning of a biblical

Is premarital sex wrong?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY S ome cultures tolerate sexual activity between consenting unmarried adult individuals. In some areas it is viewed as acceptable for unmarried adolescents to engage in some forms of sexual intimacy. WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS The Bible uses the word “fornication” for some forms of sexual activity outside marriage. God expects his worshippers to “abstain from fornication.” (1 Thessalonians 4:3) Fornication is listed as a serious sin, as are adultery, spiritism, drunkenness, idolatry, murder, and thievery. —1 Corinthians 6:9, 10;Revelation 21:8. WHY IT MATTERS For one thing, the Bible warns that “God will judge fornicators.” (Hebrews 13:4) More important, by obeying God’s laws about sexual morality, we prove our love for Jehovah God. (1 John 5:3) He in turn blesses those who observe his commandments. —Isaiah 48:18. Is it immoral for unmarried people to engage in any form of sexual intimacy? “Let fornication and uncleanness of every sort or greedines

The Power of Spiritual Agreement or Oneness

Spiritual agreement is powerful because it combines the prayer power of individuals into a new spiritual entity that is "greater than the sum of the parts". This is first encountered (in a negative way) at the building of the Tower of Babel: Genesis 11:6 And Jehovah said, Behold! The people is one and they all have one language. And this they begin to do. And now nothing which they have imagined to do will be restrained from them. The "group mind" focuses the energy of the individuals onto a purpose, just like sunlight is focused by a magnifying glass and can burn paper or wood. These highly focused prayers and spiritual intents can bring about major spiritual transformations. Thus Jesus wants His Church to be united and powerful. Unity Is A Sign Of Maturity And Leads To Great Spiritual Power Ephesians 4:3-13 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ….(11) And truly He gave some to be apostles, and some to be prophets, and some to
