Food For Thought and Consideration

We live in this world, but not of the world. When we are born-again of the Spirit of God, we are born from above. We are spirit that has a soul and lives in a body. And when we are born from above, we are to set our mind on things above. We are to have the mind of Christ. Apostle Paul said “Let this mind be in me that is also in Christ Jesus.”  The author of 1 John wrote in chapter 2 and verse 15 that we are not to love the world or the things in the world because if we do, then the love of the Father is not in him.

            Please understand that I know that we get frustrated. We get discouraged. We get sick. We get tempted. We get angry. Living in this state, we are exposed to these and more but this is when we take the opportunity to grow in the grace of the Lord. The bible states that there is no temptation given to man that is uncommon. God gives us a way to escape every temptation. 

            Excuses are made by some and others criticize those who try to live a renewed life of transformation in Christ. These excuses and criticisms do not change God’s standards or His word. God is holy, just and merciful. He wants us to depend on Him through the day. He wants us to develop our trust in Him and Him alone. As children of the Most High God, we are expected to depend on Him continually, trusting Him to guide us and strengthen us as needed by grace. Jesus said that we are to take up our cross daily for He provides us our daily bread. But we have to receive our daily and live by faith.


            My question is how we can accept the trials and tribulations in our lives more than the anointing of the Holy Spirit? Some put more trust in their problems or troubles then they do in God’s help. It is the anointing that breaks and destroys the yoke. This Gospel is the power unto salvation but we have to believe that through Jesus we are overcomers. We are more than conquers. We are triumphant in Christ Jesus. Because He got up by the resurrection power of God, we also have that same resurrection power. We can submit to God and resist the devil. If you resist him, the devil will flee from you. It is in the word of God and I believe what God says.


Grace and Peace,

The Power of Forgiveness

The Power of Forgiveness By Mary J. Bryant I was reading this article by Dr. Randy Kamen Gredinger entitled The Power of Forgiveness. In his articles, he stated that Forgiveness transforms anger and hurt into healing and peace. Forgiveness can help you overcome feelings of depression, anxiety, and rage, as well as personal and relational conflicts.” I agree with this 100%. When I received the revelation from the Holy Spirit concerning my unforgiveness, it totally changed my life.  It did not occur to me that I had unforgiveness in my heart. All I knew was that I was hurting, angry, disappointed, frustrated and depressed.  The weight of these emotional burdens I was carrying around was slowly putting me in bondage. I was being eaten up by this very dark whole. I wanted desperately to escape. Therefore, when I got that revelation about forgiveness, I paid close attention to my Teacher, the Holy Spirit. He began dealing with me on those moments when hurt came in from those I w

The Snares of the Devil

My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare. ~Psalm 25:15 First Peter 5:8-9 lets us know that the devil walks about like a roaring lion,seeking whom he may devour. Jesus said it like this "the enemy comes but to steal, kill, and destroy". Satan has been a murderer from the beginning(John 8:44). He was the first to prefer  choice  rather than  life  and just like in the Garden he is still preaching the same message today. The devil is trying to get any and every one in his snare (net). He is trying to take captive as many as he can by his devices, and wiles.  The Bible teaches us that the devil, as he works his deception against us, personifies wiles. He is the master of wiles. He lies to us and waits to trap us, discourage us and snare us. Know that he will do anything he needs to do to weaken us and destroy us. It is his daily occupation to produce discouragement, confusion, indifference, imbalance, division and hatred among us. He
