"OUR FAITHFUL GOD"

Today if you should hear His voice, do not harden your heart! Christ was faithful over His fathers house as a son ( are we not sons ? ).And it is we who are now members of this house,and if we hold fast and firm to the end our joyful and exultant confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ ]. If today you hear His voice,( don't refuse to trust in,cleave to,and rely on Him ).So warn and encourage each other every day as long as it is called today. For if we have become followers and fellows with Christ and share in all He has for us, If only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation firm unshaken to the end. And to those who would not listen to His Word and refused to be persuaded they would not enter His rest. So our belief has allowed us to enter that rest because of trusting,relying, and believing that He is able to accomplish  that which He was sent to do.Therefor draw near the to the throne of grace so that we may receive Mercy and Grace in our times of need......May the Lord Bless these words to your soul....in His Love...tom---good read [HEB.3:6-14,18-19 >>NUMBERS14:1-35 ]

" Putting the word first"

This morning I arose to these words [" PUT THE WORD FIRST' ]. (Prov.4:5-6). whether your goal is to be the best you can be, Wisdom is the key. It is the wisdom that comes from the Lord, His word allowed to fill your entire being.not the the worlds wisdom but Gods word in you. If you remember the first commandment is to love God with all your heart. Jesus said " Seek ye first the kingdom of God".(Matt.6:33). So if you have made a commitment, and it won't be easy.Then take the word of God into your heart and move in the direction He has appointed you, take the Great Commission seriously. Put the word first and there will be great and glorious days ahead.....tom

"THE POWER CHARGE OF LOVE"

EX.20:6---"But showing mercy and steadfast Love to a thousand generations of those who love me [GOD] and keep My commandments." In coming to the Lord I found that it was necessary for me to put (I) aside,to really love God is to place Him FIRST in ones life.Yet to many believers and followers are looking to move God into their useful puppet. I'm talking about believers that can remember tremendous amounts of scripture and speak it forth but have not the ability to place Gods love in front of their own actions. We become so busy trying to serve God we don't have time for people.One of the greatest miracles of love is when that love is released around you and to the people who surround you. Love is that power charge and Gods Power won't work without it! So today allow the power of Gods love to empower you, Set your heart on Jesus and follow His foot steps Gods Plan for you.But most important of all is learning to love one another [ sinner or His chosen] we all fall short. In this way we can make up our minds to allow Gods love to direct and guide us through all that we have to do. Then when we speak with authority of the WORD and speak in His name in the confidence of knowing His word will not return void. So today if you can hear,speak with LOVE and no fear;
 for Christ in you is but a word away,so learn to love Gods way.
I suggest you read 1 COR.13:1-8,13 May the Love of God pass through you unto all that surround you......
     In Christ love.....tom

"BAAL-perazim" [1CHRONICLES14:11 ]

3:13 am. AND HERE I AM, Awake and listening for the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT.." Punch a hole in the Dam"---Baal-perazim means (LORD of Breaking through). This morning as I prayed for a neighbor and friend Mike Hoover who has been in hospice home care the past several months,Truly asking for a total miraculous recovery of the cancer that has attacked his body,seeking the Lords will not my own but holding to the truth of His words,I again ask for deliverance for Mike.
This is how the scripture came across to me,His word(GODS) is like the the bursting forth of waters,it covers all that it flows about.As I reach out my hand in faith<I expect Gods word to burst  forth like the waters (river of life flowing out of me);let loose from a broken dam.Punch one little hole in that dam and the pressure behind it will open it up and erode that (sin).So begin your breakthrough now Pray "LORD JESUS,I REJOICE THAT TODAY YOU ARE LORD OF MY BREAKTHROUGH,AND  I AM THANKFUL THAT TODAY YOUR POWER IS ABOUT TO SWEEP OVER AND THROUGH MY LIFE AND MIKES LIFE TOO." Keep praying, believing, expecting, Don't give up that is what Satan wants you to do...God is the power behind you and waiting for you to unleash. So brothers and sisters lets GO and Gods will be done as you allow Him more and more room in your life....
YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST...........tom

"HEAVEN'S ECONOMY"

This morning around 4 am, I awoke to hearing how the economy was really improving.What a laugh,Improving HA! When Chevy dealers are refusing to place VOLT cars on their lots because they don't sell, when the trillions of dollars spent on shovel ready Jobs that never were, and when we see the money flowing to government influence peddling and cronyism, Yes this is what Americans have to look forward to...But  Gods word reveals that it is He that controls He sets and appoints those in the seat of government,leaders in the private sectors. Yes our God Reigns,So let us stop to ponder this....Heavens economy (COL.12-13)" giving thanks unto the Father...Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,and  hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son." Where do you think God is going to get the resources to meet your needs??Why should we limit God just because of the failed purposes of men.When our faith fails does God? Don't be troubled by shortages, scarcities and the economy on this earth, stop wondering how God is going to bless you in the face of all this.Here is some
goood news, which should help turn around those thoughts. God says we have been translated into the kingdom of His dear Son. We are not citizens of the planet earth, no we are citizens of the kingdom of God, The word says He will meet our needs according to His riches in glory.(PHIL.4:19) So start to live in heavens economy where there is more than enough,this is believing receiving and trust that He is able to deliver,rely on Gods word not the words of men.wake up to the abundance in Gods word, we have been taken from poverty to abundance  so rejoice, Heavens unlimited  resources have been made available to you!!!READ [Psalm105:37-45]

" Be WORD OF GOD CENTERED",Not problem centered!

This morning @2am awakened and not able to fall back asleep,I got up to read the the word and found my self in my devotional which was leading me to 2KINGS 7:1-20.And this is what the Lord showed me.
   No matter how bad the problem I'm facing today or how severe the circumstances maybe,I can be out of them in 24 hrs. You say that is impossible or might not be the will of God! But Gods will is revealed to us through scripture so see how the word leads to victory in all circumstances Gods will be done. It was four lepers that fulfilled Gods word to Elisha the prophet. So when we get problem centered we start feeling sorry for ourselves, and the pity party begins,which ends in defeat. I believe that Satan is behind every sin and problem in the world,and to defeat sin,poverty,sickness and disease, wars and  rumors of wars and everything that leads to destruction is for Gods people to shod their feet with the gospel.[read Eph.6:9-19 ] Be prepared for the battle.
when I look back at the garden and see how God had created heaven on earth an when Adam/Eve gave into temptation which brought forth the curse.But we don't need to live under that curse,For the blood that was shed at Calvary brought forth redemption.God has given us His word( JESUS) His promises of victory,His promise of overcoming,so get angry @ the devil and sin,sickness,poverty,and rise up to fight the good fight with the armor of God and the promises He gave us.They are all contained in the book of life THE HOLY BIBLE..........in Christ love.......tom

Thinking back,what is ahead?

As this day unfolded and after  having my second treatment of radiation I pondered on these words of the Lord. Stop toiling and doing and producing for the food that perishes and decomposes  [ in the using ], but strive and work and produce rather for [ lasting ] food which endures [ continually ] unto life eternal; the son of man will give (furnish) you that, for God the Father has authorized and certified and put His seal of endorsement upon Him. [ what are we to do to carry out what God requires? ] Jesus replies, This is the work (service) that God ask of you: that you believe in the one, whom He has sent [that you cleave to,trust, rely on, and have faith in His messenger.] Then I ask what miracle will you perform as a sign so that I may see and believe and rely on and adhere to you. For our forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness as the scripture says, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. And Jesus said, It is My Father Who gives you the true heavenly Bread. For the Bread of God is He Who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world. And Jesus said, I Am the Bread of Life. And he who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes,trust,and cleaves to Me will never thirst any more. But as I told you .....I have come down from heaven not to do My will and purpose but to do the will of My Father Who sent me. And know this no one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to to come to Me. ISAIAH 54:13, "And all your (SPIRITUAL) children shall be disciples [ taught by the Lord and obedient to His will ], great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgement you shall show to be in the wrong, this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. Blessed, happy, and fortunate is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold of it and binds himself fast to it......and keeps his hand from doing any evil. This is what lays ahead to those who seek with all their heart and soul to love God and to please Him by following His WORD [JESUS]....May the Lord touch your heart and open your ears.............in His Love....tom
