Destroy for lack of Knowledge

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Colossians 1:9-10 We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding...and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

The knowledge of God is the foundation for every success in your life. God's knowledge will always produce supernatural results of the abundant life.

So what do you need? We can't lose if we are seeking the knowledge of God. Do you need finances? Ask God what you can do to make money. The Bible says that God will give us witty inventions.

Do you need healing. Ask God for knowledge on how to be healed and then stay healed. Maybe it is as simple as you needing to eat right. Ask God.

Do you need Knowledge of the Word. Ask God to make it come alive for you when you read.

God has so much for us but we never ask. We aren't suppose to just be surviving in this world we are suppose to be thriving in every area of our life. We should be blessed Spirit, Soul and Body, Spiritually, Physically and Financially. God owns the world. He wants to give it to us.

I don't know about you but I am going to take it. I want it all. If I don't have enough I can't help others. I will be a world over comer.

We need to stop limiting God. Jesse says we all hate limits. He says that we hate diets because it limits our food intake. We hate to stand in line because it limits our time. A lack of money limits what we can buy and how we live.

So why do we limit God? Lack of knowledge on knowing what He has for us. It's funny that we read His Word about be born again or saved and followed His instructions by asking Jesus to forgive our sins and live in our hearts. But then we stop right there.

The provision of Jesus wasn't just for salvation as you have heard me say many times before. I will never stop saying it either.

God wants us saved, healed, delivered and prosperous. We have His Word on it. So whatever it is that you need today stop being destroyed by lack of knowledge. Stop limiting God. Look up repent and tell Him what you need.

Faith

I read so many good articles. I wanted to take time to put a few of the nuggets from a article by Terri Savelle Foy.

Matthew 9:28, two blind men asked Jesus to give them their sight. Jesus responded by asking them, "Do you believe I'm able to do this?" Jesus put the responsibility back on them. Without hesitation they answered, "Yes, Lord!"

So when you are asking the Lord to do something for you make sure you really believe He will do it for you.

Before you pray and ask for anything you have to see yourself with it. Faith will see the end result before it is manifested to you.

What is you mind thinking? What are you saying? Terri says that research indicates that people talk to themselves 50,000 times a day! But what they are saying to themselves is negative. Things like: "They don't like me." "I shouldn't have said that." "I am never going to amount to anything." "I'll never lose weight." You get my drift. So what are you saying?

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Get into the Word and change your thoughts and words.

We need to do as Romans 4:17 calling those things that be not as though they were. Make your mouth say the right things. "Thank you, Lord, that people always like me." "Thank you, Lord, I will not say things that I shouldn't." "Thank you, Lord, I will amount to what you want me to be." "Thank you, Lord, I will lose weight." All of this is possible when you change your thought life and control what comes out of your mouth. Speaking the right words will make you stronger in your faith.

Use the right words to talk back to the devil. He is the one that puts them bad thoughts in your mind so they come out of your mouth. Your words will make you or break you.

Clean up your life. Make a choice that you will be a winner not a loser.

We need to pray and then say: 'I trust you Lord!' Say it with an exclamation point not a question mark.

So you have to ignore your feelings, your emotions, and your thoughts. Say what the Word says. Fear comes from the devil. God put fear not 365 times in the Bible. That means we can take a fear not Scripture for every day of the year.

The greatest expression of your faith is praise! When you begin thanking God ahead of time, it opens the door for Him to begin moving in your life. Confuse Satan by praising God. It makes him mad. The devil hates praise.

Magnify God. Give Him more attention. I will tell you that everything will change for the better if you do that. Whatever you magnify becomes larger than anything else. So magnify God!

Sow seed toward your dreams. God wants you to have the desires of your heart. God loves you and will take care of you if you believe and trust Him. Reach out to Him today. You will see that He is reaching back for you.

Do we blame God?

I have never been one to blame God for anything. I know about the devil and his evil scheme's. Let me tell you that his name fits him well. He is the deceiver.

It wasn't to long ago and the Lord showed me that I was blaming Him without realizing it. I have been trusting the Lord for something the last two years. I would say to God why haven't you done this for me. I think that is the same as blaming. I quickly said I was sorry and what I was trusting Him for has come.

I do believe that you can ask God things about your prayer while you are waiting. Remind Him of His promises. Believe Him for it.  We must remember never to blame Him.

So if your waiting for a prayer to be answered check yourself. How have you been talking to God?

Be blessed!

Death

What can be said about death? It is a subject most of us avoid if we don't know where we are spending eternity. You hear most say they died because it was his or her time. When a child dies you hear God needed another angel.

I don't know what book they are reading because that is not what the Bible says at all. In Psalm 91 God himself says that He will satisfies us with long life. Another Scripture in Proverbs says that in one hand is riches and honor and the other hand long life.

We were on vacation this last week only to come home and find out a friend has died. We didn't know him well he was someone we bought supplies from. A very good man that we always enjoyed visiting with. Let me tell you this though it wasn't his time to go. He was in good health not overweight but the thief that comes to kill, to steal and to destroy attacked his body and he was gone. They might of been able to save him but couldn't do surgery because his blood pressure was to high.

I pray all of you know Jesus as your Saviour. The devil doesn't care who you are. He hates you and hates you even more if you love God. He will attack you any chance he gets. If you are a Christian believing in the blood of Jesus we have promises from the Word. In Psalms 91 it also says that God gives His angels charge concerning us to keep us safe in every way. You have to believe that though.

I know about those angels. The devil has tried to kill me more than once. I believe Psalm 91 so I believe that I have angels around me 24/7. My family also is well protected with angels.  On our way home from vacation we were just driving along when a semi wanted our lane. There was a car on one side of us and a semi on the other. The angels were present and all was well.

 Is Jesus your Saviour? He is coming soon but before He comes this world is going to get worse. Accept Him today. He died for you and loves you very much.

Blessing over you

This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it. For some of us that isn't always easy. Rejoicing in the midst of whatever storm we might be going through. If we are in the midst of a storm that is exactly what we should be doing.

Rejoicing will always bring results. We can never change our circumstances only God can. So when we get all upset about whatever is going on in our lives it changes nothing. God will change every circumstance if we allow Him. I have said it before what are you saying? Our words are so very important. The Bible says we have the power of life and death in our tongue. So in the midst of a storm what are you saying? Think hard about it. Our enemy the devil just wants to kill, to steal and to destroy us as Jesus says in John 10:10. Sometimes the enemy stealing is self inflicted by our own mouth. Don't say what the storm is say just the opposite.

If the devil is attacking you in your health say what God says. By the stripes of Jesus I am healed!  If it's financial say my God supplies all my needs. If it is fear say God has not given me a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind. Find your promise for whatever you are going through and line your words up with the Scripture.

My husband and I are on vacation. Yesterday as we are driving the devil came with his package that he wanted me to sign for. No way! That is when your words better line up with God's words so you can have the victory. I prayed and spoke good words then I just started praising God by singing songs. It wasn't long and I was feeling better. The word works in every situation. Our flesh doesn't always want to praise but we must get the Word out for our victory to come.

When my children were growing up sometime they came to me in the morning before school and told me they didn't feel well. I always told them to get ready for school but if after they were ready they still didn't feel well they could stay home. Most of the time after they were ready they ended up going to school because once they were up and doing something they felt better. The devil loves to see us down so when we give into a attack on our body and just lie around feeling sorry for our self we will not get the victory we need. We all need couch days but not because we are sick.

So what is your storm? I pray that you are blessed Spiritually, physically and financially. I pray that all your needs are met according to God's riches in Christ Jesus. I pray that you know that sickness and disease comes right from the pit of hell and stand on the fact that Jesus went to the cross just for that. I pray that every Christian knows that Jesus wasn't poor and we don't have to be either. So many promises in the Word about provision we should never go without.

Don't be in the dark about what Jesus did for you on the cross. Darkness is from hell. When you are afraid of the dark what do you do? You turn on the light. Jesus is our light turn Him on. Speak boldly to your situation and see God work results.

I pray you have every need met today. You need to make Jesus your Saviour if you haven't already. That is what is required of you in order to enter Heaven when your life here is over. It's a shame but allot of Christian's stop there yet there is so much more Jesus died to give us. Get your Bible out and find out what God says about your situations.

So this is the day the Lord has made rejoice and be glad in it. God loves you, Jesus died for you and the Holy Spirit was sent to help you, guide you and to comfort you. Reach out to Him today He is waiting to reach out to you.

So when someone says to you how are you? Instead of telling them how you really are how about saying I am blessed beyond measure. If any of you listen to Dave Ramsey on the radio when someone says to him how are you his reply is better than I deserve. He is a Christian that knows what God has given him. Be blessed!

Hidden Wealth

Isaiah 45:3 - And I will give you the treasure of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places in order that you may know that it is I the Lord God of Israel who calls you by your name.

Another translation says I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord the God of Israel, who summons you by name.

As Christians do we believe what that says? Some of us do. Others think that God wants us to be poor or barely getting by in this world. How that must hurt God's heart when we don't take what He wants to give us.  

I hear people say it isn't all about money.  Yes it is. Take a married couple for example that never has enough money. What happens? Stress, fighting and maybe divorce. That can't be God's will since He said that He hates divorce. We will always need money to live on this earth and much more than we needed before.

There are so many Scriptures that speak of God's faithfulness to us when we are faithful to Him.

Without money how would we preach the gospel? We wouldn't. How would churches make it? Without money we would have to live sponging off of everybody else.

God's prosperity starts with tithing. Ten percent isn't really allot when you look at it. It is only ten cents on every dollar. Our paychecks for example are many one dollar bills so it just looks like a lot more. It is still just ten cents on every dollar. That is all God wants back from us. He gave us the ninety percent to spend.

We need to all be tither's in this day and age. We have the promise from Malachi that after we tithe God will open the windows of heaven and pour us blessing we don't even have room to contain. He goes on to say He will rebuke the devour for our sake.

We have to start somewhere and tithing is a good place to start. Then there are offerings to give. One of promises that follow is: Give and it shall be given onto you good measure, pressed down shaken together will man give onto you.

Man will give onto you. The word says that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous. Who is righteous? We are if we made Jesus our Saviour.

I looked up some of the definition's for the words in that Scripture. Here is what I found.

The definition of treasure is money, jewels or precious metals stored up or hoarded. Something of great worth or value. A collection of precious things. A person esteemed as rare or precious.

The definition of wealth is abundance of valuable material possessions or resources. Abundant supply.
Abundance of valuable material possessions or resources.

Abundance means a large amount of something, an abundant amount of something. Some synonyms for abundance are: barrel, basketful, heap, multiplicity, plenitude, ton and truckload.

Hidden means being out of sight or not readily apparent. Concealed.

Secret means kept from knowledge or view.

Hidden wealth of secret places. Psalm 91 verse 1 talks about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High God. The meaning of dwell is to live as a resident. We are residents of the Most High God. Our home is with Him when we leave this earth. Heaven has a street of gold. There is wealth there. Since we have never seen the wealth in Heaven it is hidden to us. The same God has hidden wealth for us on this earth.

Ever notice how when you are praying for something and after you get done you also think you know how God will bring it in for you? Notice that He doesn't bring it the way you thought. He brings it in a whole different way. He does it His way. Hidden Wealth in secret places.

I have a home business that I am so glad God didn't hide from me. It's wonderful. We have a Godly president of the company. He started this business not because he needed the money but because he wanted to help others make it in this world. I intend to be a millionaire in this business. Why? So I can always have money to help others. That should always be our heart.

Everybody needs to have there own business. In this one I market for things all of us are already using. No change in buying habits. I would love to give more info so email me if you are serious about changing your family finances. (email at the top of page) The only person that gets rich at your job is your boss. Owning your own business means owning your time.

I don't know about you but I am about to have the wealth in hidden places.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Are you Discipline

I like listening to Joyce Meyers. She is so good and so down to earth. She says that you can't stand on faith for big things when you don't even have faith over the little things like dirty dishes in the sink.

She is right. In this world we need discipline more than ever. The Bible also says that a lazy man shouldn't eat.

Lazy and discipline go together. Are you lazy or are you undisciplined? In this world we need to be disciplined so we are not lazy.

How can we ask God for other things when we can't believe Him to help us to get our house cleaned. God gave us our home's. If we don't take care of them why should He give us anything else.

I am a very organized person. I want everything to have it's own place. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think I go as overboard with organizing like I use to. Also organizing things comfort me. My husband spends time in the basement when he needs to unwind. He makes things from wood. That works for him for me I just find some area in the house and reorganize it. It's like eating comfort food with no taste or calories.

So getting back to the question. Are you unorganized because your lazy? Do something about it. Clean your room while organizing what has to be organized. Paint that kitchen where the paint is peeling. Mow that hay field you call a yard. Whatever it takes just do it then you will be ready to go to God and ask for the bigger things.

God says when He can trust you over the little things He will set you over bigger things.

Start this new day the right way TGIF Today God is First. When we put Him first He will put us first. When we show Him our disciplined lives He will be able to move on our behalf. Trust Him today you might be surprised!
