The Trip

This world can sometimes be, what one might call a real trip. So much evil and wickedness in and all around it. It's quite amazing how blind we can be. When there is so much beauty in the earth we just don't see. When sight and wisdom can't be found its simply time to get down. Down on knees to pray. Asking God for brighter light and a better way. Just as the scriptures say. Pray everyday. Because in times such as these. Its a necessity. There is a enemy of man whose running out of time. Trying to take each and every one he can find. So many are lost and cast under his spell. With a reserved spot going right straight to hell.

I pray you don't mess around, and in Christ be found. Because the enemy is surly running out of time and it won't be long. So reserve your ticket and be sure you're taking the heavenly trip. Where the book of life has your name in it.

I've made my own arrangements which are heaven sent. Therefore I cast out every demonic spirit from which it came. In the name which is above every name. That name is Jesus Christ. The one who possess my life. Therefore, I have those plans. To ride on the wings of the most high. Where there is love, hope, truth and eternal life.

This is the trip I plan to take; because I choose to live and not die. That is the main reason why. Though every circumstance and situation may not be the same. They all require us to call upon the name above all names. That name is Jesus Christ, the Savior of life. And that more abundantly. Ever lasting throughout all eternity. The Savior has already paid the price. With his own life. There is no need for any other sacrifice.

Though it's not an easy road to travel; living in this world. It is only a journey. Because you can visualize all you ever hoped for. When you plan your trip in the will of whats heaven sent. Trust and believe my God will supply everything you need. Be covered by the blood while you're in this world. Than my God shall provide a supernatural source with tailor made gear while were here. Guidance, direction, love and protection. A place to be undercover while he takes out the destroyer. That place is in Christ. Absolutely no other. Not a friend, spouse, mother, father, sister or brother. Therefore plan this trip on the way to the Father.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5


Wherefore take unto ou the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perservance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6: 13-18

Seed Conception

Seeds planted in the ground require a certain amount of time, space and care. In order to even be recognized, as something there. They have to dwell in a foundation of dirt, which ultimately determines the value and worth.  \


Just being groomed and cared for takes a great deal of responsibility, and can be a very vigorous chore. Seeds need sunshine, water, and nourishment in order to grow. To perform the duty for which it was put there for. Then when it begins to rise. There will be evidence before your very eyes; of the particular fruit, vegetable or tree. Based on the ground, care, time and the type of seed. 


The result of the value and quality is not complete; until the time it arise to perform and be what its suppose to be. Be it taste, smell, touch, sound, or sight.  All senses, must be satisfied to know that it s right. 


We too are going through a process of  kingdom growth.  Living a life in Christ, receiving care from the father; having  more value and worth with nourishment in agape love.   In this we obtain the spiritual fruit we need, to last through all eternity; as God gives the increase. 


He makes us more and more than what we were before. Changing the awareness of conscious; where good and evil becomes even clearer. Implanting dignity, integrity and responsibility of Character. 


As a  Christian believer we obtain wisdom, new perspective and vision. At which time Kingdom living becomes part of our being. With signs and wonders that are no longer natural but a Superior actuality.  What one may call a miracle or supernatural. Ultimately going from glory to glory. An example of our God being the author, beginning and result of our story.


Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and saith unto it, " Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward forever." And presently the fig tree withered away (Matt. 21: 18-19).


be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. (Romans 12: 2).



And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly ting, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16: 17-18).


And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprung up because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had o root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: the other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixty fold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear (Matt. 13: 4-9).

Spirit and Willful Purpose

Its such a joy to know; though we are in this world. Our Father God has given us free will. He has given us all a purpose. A reason to live. Others may not see or even agree. Nor care about the dreams, visions, or any ideals God may have given. But we must keep in mind. Whose life we're living. Because sometimes we go through life; as others would have us too. For one reason or another. Never to discover the great talents and gifts we've received from the Father. When that very thing we have, may be what someone else needs to get through a situation filled with all kind of strife and or complications. My point is this. Don't allow any person, place or thing. To cause you to miss out on the dream from within. Nor be that person; causing diversion for the man or woman of God. Because there's certain provision in place; for the anointed of the Lord and those who seek his face. (Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Psalm 105: 15) And know this; being anointed by God is not always easy. What he's called us to do can sometimes be a difficult place to get to and a fiery furnace to go through. Times such as these. The Lord brings things to mind. That we haven't thought of in a long time. Maybe a simple reminder of purpose, or a fresh anointing. Either way its something we've longed for, needed or wanted. And haven't even thought of. He can surely take us to a place where we can hear his voice as we seek his face.
Remember, What he's implanted in you to do. Makes the you in you.
Knowing this I say " The decisions I make or risk I take may not be the ones you think I should make. In truth; it doesn't really matter what you think. Some things are rare and heaven sent. Not even meant; for all to see; hear, care, or comprehend. Therefore I must go by the spirit within."
(For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8: 14) The life I live in the time spent, is freely given. By the grace of God. My father, Counselor, King and Lord. Who gave all free will and freedom of choice. So that what you do. Win or loose. The responsibility is yours. Not his or hers. And the satisfaction received from every action is a direct result of what you allow to happen. God knows and judges the heart. Therefore be sure. Search and examine your own. Because the willful purpose in you is the determination of which eternity will be your home.
Do be inspired. I'm sure there is light in the midst of the night. With good vision and light. There's always a better way to do. In proper perspective you can make dreams come true. And it doesn't matter if they're old or new. Its the spirit within that gives sight of where to begin and when to put something to an end.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Je'-sus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2 Corinthians 13:5

Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Ephesians 4: 8

Christ Assurance

At times we all feel insecure and unsure about many things. So many people, places and things in this world cause us to doubt the sincerity of our very surrounding, friends, family or material gain. It can be somewhat bothersome or It can save us from a lot of hurt and pain. The word of God says believe all things. ( Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 1Corinthians 13:7) Yet it also says put not your trust in man. (Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. Psalm 146:3) Both applies; because were living in a world of deception and lies. Where the enemy presides. In Christ alone is where the truth resides. So its not a strange thing or a big surprise. I've been there; where you can hardly believe the vision before your eyes. When your inner being is saying its all a lie or the misery you see is the blessing you need. By the power of the Holy Ghost. You can see beyond the disquise and dirt. Where theres perspective outside of this earth. A spiritual unction that leads you to function, according to his will. Where as the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. In Christ the difference is sincere, real; brought forth by a Father who cares. Theres no misunderstanding, chaos or confusion there. In that we can give Glory to God for answering prayers. He said he would give us the disires of our heart and when you're one of his children thats exactly what he does. I'm here to tell you. Dispite our lack of this or that. He takes care of us and we don't have to deal with him as we would for a purchase or credit. The debt has already been paid. And our Father does exactly as he says. When we become a member in his family. He treats us the way you'd expect to be. Supplying our every need. Some of which we may not even know. Out of his Agape Love.

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 1John 2:20

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence til the day of Christ; Philippians 1:9-10

The Living Word

Jesus Christ is the living word of God which became life a long time ago. And there's some things we should all know. His word is Love, Life and the Way. Sharper than any two-edged sword. In the beginning of time God spoke this world into existence. And created you and I in his image. (And God Said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:3) That being the case. Certain things we need to face. There's power in the words we use, and the things we say. Sometimes we use words in vain or say mean and wicked things. On purpose sometimes and carelessly speaking to the ones we love. And according to the word. Our tongue can be a blessing or a curse . (Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. James 3:10). We release a powerful energy that gives life or takes from it. Causing joy or pain; whether were serious or playing. There's usually some result. If its negative you may not wish to drink out of that cup. So just as God is Love. Spoke life into this world. And his son is the living Word Made in his image. Let's speak life to each other; using words of love and not words that destroy (A wholesome tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. Proverbs 15:4). And be mindful of the fact. We didn't come in this world knowing that. So when were on the receiving end. We may have to take a look back. Someone had to show or tell us; how to get where we got. So, realize we all make mistakes. No ones above another. Sin is sin. In God there's no measure. So don't harden your heart, as did the pharaoh. When your sister or brother comes to you asking forgiveness . Realize you're not much better. And you're not God of the living. As the Father forgives you and I, he also forgives them. Ask God to heal all grief and bitterness, and give you a heart of forgiveness. Because you wouldn't want to burn in eternity; while the one who did the wrong deed; ends up in heaven, receiving all of Gods blessings. That's not something I'd like to see, nor do. Would you?

(And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any other; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark11: 25-26)
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1: 14

Replace the negative with a postive

We've all been there; in the place of mistreatment, deception or grief. Where there seems to be absolutely no relief. We've properly caused disappointment, hurt, anger or pain and promised we'd never, ever do it again. Like a revolving door. While we're still on this earth. Things happen all the time. Sometimes the negative seems to be more. Yet as we live in Christ there’s a wholesome discovery. We find in his love and abundance of life; restoration and peace. The road to recovery traveling through his forgiveness; where we find awesome joy of a whole heart healed. After being ripped apart. One of the many blessings from God. So in doing what you do. Don't hold bitterness inside. Remove it from you. It's like a contagious disease, that’s takes a hold and seizes; your joy of life and perspective you see. Generating hurt also, on those you love the most. Why therefore be filled with un-forgiveness when you can be filled with the Holy Ghost. Keep in mind. Someone somewhere is spending time. In a worst circumstance or state of mind. In focusing on others; showing compassion for one another. The pain or despair you carry gets smothered and covered by the gifts of love. It’s a part of healing. A part of forgiving. A part of caring. What may seem like a hard thing to do; may very well be the missing piece of the over all you.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4: 31-32

Rise in Christ

By rising in Christ there's opportunity for gain in the spirit of life. A gift of grace you can freely receive if you only believe. Free from sickness, shame, hurt and the pains of this world. Come one, come all, be secured in Gods Agape love. Obtain the seal in faith, that will lead to an everlasting place; free from hunger, thirst or strife. Where your name is written in the book of life. Its not that hard to do and what you get is worth more than you could ever loose. Despite what you may or may not be going through. There is a price to pay for the choice you make. And there is no time for delay. I encourage you to go in the way you may be saved. Arise and awaken from sleep. Be aware and alert. Know for sure, something may be missing. When there's no peace, no joy, no love, no hope. . Simply open eyes, Recognize, See yourself inside. Know there's more. You're not at your best. Why settle for less; when there's something else. Be humble and confess. Confess the sin within, ask for forgiveness and be born again. Have faith and believe that he is. A s your spirit bares witness with his. Acknowledge the truth. That Jesus Christ paid the price for you. The only begotten son of God, Was crucified, died and now alive. Come to know him as I. In heart, mind, body and soul. Let Jesus reign and reside. Be thankful and realize just being alive is again, another chance to escape the damnation at hand.

(If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God Colossians 3:1 )
(He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out is name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Revelation 3:5)

A Mess?

Sometimes it seems as though everything in this life is a mess at best. When your sole purpose is to make it through the day. And your very existence, or survival is at stake. I say this because I been in that place. Where you loose your way. Not just me. I'm sure many of you too. Blindly believing you're in the place to be. Yet deep inside you know there's more to it and more of something you need. If you're there; don't feel alone because there's someone who cares. And we've all been there; going in the wrong direction; one time or another. Just wondering around. All lost in the wilderness. Asking ourselves what in the world is this? In search of peace. Wrapped in confusion, stress and chaos. Wearing death as your cloth, with poison in your mouth. But glory to God through his mercy and grace. There's a way of escape. Under the shadow and wings of God; there's a definite way, we can run this race with perseverance and faith. Knowing our end is the beginning. And through Christ we shall win. The Father alone gave us a part of his own. By sending the prince of peace to set the captives free. His sacrifice gives us not only liberty but the opportunity to gain life and that abundantly. Its an open door to walk through. A spiritual realm made for me and you; where we don't have to carry the burdens of this world anymore. No matter what we think, feel or try to do in this world. Ultimately God is in control. We have the freedom to choose what road to travel. A road paved in a spiritual wave of destruction or salvation. Causing positive or negative results all leading to the prophetic revelation of our Creator. The reality of eternal damnation or eternal life.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. (Romans 13:1)

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ( Romans 10:9-10)

Power

My Father God is the power and the glory; forever and ever. And beside him, There is no other.. We the people here on this earth; experience all kinds of things. From the water we drink to the dirt we're made of.. And half the time we don't know what's going on in our lives and or relationships. Especially when we don't allow God to be in control of it. We run around in circles like the earth revolving around the sun. Hoping we don't get burnt. Sometimes its hard, but if we just hold on. Let go; and let God. We would have so much more peace. We could live life at ease. Focusing on the things that are above and not of this world. The God given element that gives us a more concrete and positive perspective on all things. And we know from experience; being Christians. When we lean on him. He holds us up. And takes the heavy load. So that we can continue to grow and go on to run this race. We can depend on him. Each and every day.
Over and over again. No matter what kind of mess we're in. We don't have to bring it in to the next day. God will take it away. All that weight can be placed in the masters hand. Someone who knows for sure what he's doing. And its really quite useless to take thought for tomorrow or on those things that you can not change. You might as well give it to the one who has the world in the palm of his hands. Sit back, Relax, and fixate yourself on the kingdom of heaven. (Finally, brethren , whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8) That way you won't be spiritually weak and when the bridegroom comes you'll have light to see. All in the name of Jesus Christ.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy ladden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11: 28-30

Freedom

Freedom has not come without a price or cost of someone’s life. Throughout history and around the world. Many men and women have sacrificed to save, change and give individuals the freedom of choice. In this country; the freedom of speech, women rights to vote. The emancipation proclamation, etc. . All men and women were created equal. And God offers his grace and mercy to all people. To receive freely. And just as it has been given to us. We should in turn give and share with others. Realizing they're our sisters and brothers. Who deserve the same freedom and love we look for. Although we know; no matter where you go. There are some who believe; being in a position of authority makes them have supremacy over another. To use, abuse, enslave and do whatever they will. All because they feel the position they hold; puts them in that kind of role. (As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, bu as the servants of God. 1Peter 2:16). Letting us know the war is not over. But the good part about it; is the battle is not yours. It belongs to the Lord. All we have to do, is, go to our Father God in prayer. He will brake the yokes of bondage, and remove all the slave mentality. Just as he has appointed those in the past. Such as Martin Luther King who brought about change for equal rights and freedom in all things. Its an ongoing process. We're still taking steps. Although he and many others made a tremendous difference. There’s those who have not received or paid attention to the freedom they gave their live to give. So many are so many still existing in bondage. Be it mental or physical. Its outside the will of God and his love. The beginning of freedom is the realization of being lost, in captivity, oppression and discrimination. Where we see no need. There’s no point in change for you or me. We must recognize in this generation many are in bondage and held captive. And see no way out of it. This can be a job, church, marriage, country, community organization or belief. The only way out of any of these; is through Jesus Christ. The one who made the ultimate sacrifice. Who lead the way for the great leaders we recognize today.
Thank you for using some of your God given time to access these messages of increase and inspiration in Christianity. May God bless you trendously in life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
