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


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




Seek

There comes a time when we all need to go to God in prayer. Despite our issue, trouble or circumstance. He cares and he's
always there. Whether we're paying attention or acting like we just don't care. Our number one priority should be seeking the omnipotent God we don't see. That Father we truly need. Than as we wake to the dawning of a new day. We can appreciate another opportunity we have, to communicate and relate to our Savior, through his word and regular prayer.
There we go into his presence for direction and guidance while receiving his blessings. Knowing for sure, we can stand on his word. Because he said it would not come back void. He alone knows our heart and inner thoughts. When we are truly in his presence, he saturates us with his spirit and unconditional love. But just like any relationship, it requires time spent, in order to maintain and make the most of it. From the smallest to the largest. Whatever the issue. It's a concern of his. So give time to the father. The one whose there when there is no other. Remember, God said he would supply all of our needs according to his riches and glory.
We shouldn't want for any good thing. Because he is the King of kings. Though sometimes it may seem hard to believe. Based on our belief system, the life we live and the world we live in. This may not seem like the place to be in. But I'm a living witness, it makes all the difference. But like the people of Israel. When they were delivered from Egypt. We too, sometimes forget, and need to be reminded. Therefore as believers. Let us be mindful of who we are. The children of God. Though we be in this world we are from a far better place; beyond the sky. A supernatural dominion. The kingdom of the most high. Where there's diplomatic immunity, while going through these experiences. A blessed jewel and precious treasure is what we have. A state of being that will forever last throughout all eternity. And though we fall, we have a Father to call and hold our hand, again and again. All we have to do is humbly go to him in prayer. From my own experience, Jesus Christ is always there. Accepting him in your life, brings you into the family of Christ. Therefore, Children of God, from the kingdom of the most high.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you Matthew 6:33

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find knock , and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7-8

(But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19)

(And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22)

Insight

Well now, Keep in mind; everybody don't see what you see. And everybody will not believe. We've been blessed with spiritual sight. To see things above and beyond this life. Dreams, visions and premonitions; everlasting in Christ. Leading to the place; he would have us to be. Oh what a gift it is; to see such awesome light when we follow through and believe; in the midst of the night. Though your direction or calling may seem hard sometimes. Even somewhat of a struggle; because you just keep on falling. But, just like a baby, don't stop; just keep on crawling. You will stand eventually and soon start walking. Just trust in God and believe. Accept those things which you ought to receive; and reject those things which you ought not too. The choice is up to you. Proclaim The Name. The fact that God don't change. Feed on his word. Say it out loud. Make it heard... Remember, there were some who saw; and did not believe. There were some who saw; and did believe. It's all a matter of how you perceive or see. I personally choose to use; the spiritual tool.. There to direct and guide. That spiritual eye. Brought to you by Jesus Christ. Where there is confirmation and not mans condemnation. Something that will last. If God showed and told you. It will surely come to past. All lives given to Christ. Should have spiritual sight. To see and follow that Great, Grand and Glorious light. Because Truly God Can Make It All Right. HALLELUJAH

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119: 105



And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: Acts 2:17-18

Restoration in Christ

We've all been there; in the place of mistreatment, deception or grief. Where there seems to be no relief. And we've properly caused disappointment, hurt, anger or pain and promised we'd never do it again. Like a revolving door. While we're 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; restoration. And through forgiveness we make our way to recovery. Such joy of a heart healed. After being torn 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 takes a hold and ceases; your joy of life and the perspective you see. Generating hurt also, on those you love the most. Why therefore be filled with unforgiveness 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 in 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

No Respect of Persons

God loves us and we are uniquely made in his image and specifications. If He wanted us all to be alike; he would have made everybody the same. We need to lean how to respect each others differences. We as Christians are suppose to be in Christ and Christ in us. There is where we find unconditional love. Agape Love. We can’t expect people to think or be like someone they are not. It was never meant to be. That’s how we run off track on to Division street and confusion to the road of destruction. Trying to put together something that is not the truth. When what we need to do is love and respect each other as a creation from God. Though there may be similarities. We are only the same in the fact that God created us all. He loves us all. Gave his life for us all. Desires us all to come into the knowledge of the truth in Christ. We; outside the will of God have religious and denominational differences that present themselves to non believers as ignorance. Where we should be; is on the same accord. Functioning as many members of one. If we concentrate on that more than each others imperfections. We’d be closer to the presentation of Christ in whole.

The word says come as you are. Before we got there we came as we were and may still be. Freely you have been given; freely therefore give. If we be in that word and it be in us. We should be that body of Christ. Shinning right through to the morning light. Let’s make an effort to come together as that and try to view people as Christ does with a spiritual eye. I invite you to come, as you are, in truth. If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ died for you. Was crucified on the cross and rose the 3rd day. Ye shall be saved. Learn more about who he is TODAY. Take a trip in his word to the gospel of John. And stay focused on Christ. As you journey through this life.. We were all born and in sin while in this flesh. Fix your sight on Jesus and remember he’s the only one better than yourself. Our omnipotent father God is Love, The Beginning and End, Everything and All. A Consuming Fire. The Alpha and Omega. Get to know him.

For there is no respect of persons with God. Romans 2:11

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3: 23,24
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Revelation 21:7

Testimony and Praise to God

First I'd like to thank the Lord for blessing me with the things I need. Than coming through the doors of my heart and taking me into his world. As I reminisce on the many ways he has brought joy to my days. I don't even know where to began. Because In Christ, the blessings never come to an end.

I can remember during childhood and days when I was up to no good. Going through periods of no self esteem to just being mean. Through all that and despite myself. He took special care of me. All through the nourishing years of raising my kids. When my family was torn apart. He came into my heart and gave me back what the enemy tried to destroy. Than like a garment in the making. He gave us the will and the strength to be, whom he created. The Lord gave us the ability to do and go beyond what we could see. I have sons and a daughter. I can be proud of. All because of his love. I have grandchildren to teach of his wisdom and counsel. Through many trials and tribulation. He lifted me up when I was down. Put a smile on my face instead of a frown, in the midst of raising them all. Which I saw as a career even when I felt; I had to beg and crawl. He kept us together through everything and all. Providing nourishment, clothing and shelter, wisdom, understanding, joy and employment. Along with the desires of my heart. I can't help but thank God. So much and more I have to thankful for. People he's brought in my life, and of course the most important, one and only Jesus Christ. With whom I would not be able to walk or crawl. He has blessed me more than the eyes can see. I've written letters to the Father and he's answered them all. One in particular, was when I asked for my husband. He answered my call. Than blessed me with all the specifics. I put in my request. It's quite amazing because. We weren't close in distance. So he came from far. We both had faith, and God in our heart. Neither one of us perfect, but full of love and hope. We understood there would be changes and we'd have to cope. With the transition of mind. From single and independent to married and dependent. We're at a point now where we can almost read each others mind. Where we value our time. We give each other sweet treats. We enjoy our days the way it was meant to be. And together we're more. We can spread wings and soar. That comes from the compatibility of two people in love, with the same beliefs, family background and desire to grow. Love, trust, communication, honor, respect for one another and of each others individuality, while putting God first is a combination for ministry which in my opinion is what a marriage is suppose to be. With that being said. I thank God for all he's done. Though the trials may come. There is one. And one only who can bring restoration to what may seem to be complete devastation. His name is Jesus. My lord and Savior. All you have to do is receive him.
O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. Remember his marvelous works that he had done; Psalm 105:1-5

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He market me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalms 23

Acknowledge Him

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. 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.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths Proverbs 2: 6

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 labor 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



Faith and Trust

Faith and Trust is something we must have within our lives or we will not last. No; not in man. But in Gods Word and magnificent plan. Jesus said, we must believe; if we are to be saved. And if we are to have or do anything; we must have faith. To maintain our place and win this race. Though its easier said than done; when there's always something or someone. Planting seeds of doubts, and creating distractions. Lets not allow anyone to build walls, or put an end to our call. Our faith in God has brought us this far. And our trust in him gives us the will to do it again. Like the people of Israel we too forget. What the father has done for us or where he's brought us from. Making our faith and trust in God easier said than done. So to keep it moving; when the seed of doubt arise. Lets bring forth evidence of what's been done in our lives. Than we get to a point where restoration is sown and recognition has grown. Where we're thankful and grateful. Using the smallest of faith. We can move mountains. And situate them in some other place. We can go through the fire. We can calm the sea and we can tame the lions. Instead of us. The stumbling blocks will fall. And we can stand up straight and tall. Having faith in our heart and putting our trust in God.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. Proverb 2:5-7

Time Frame

You can't help but acknowledge the times were in. The end of the beginning and the beginning of the end. What was than is happening again. The cycle and elements of life is more obvious to the naked eye. Than ever before in life. Yet In this world of chaos there is still love. Existing as God and no other. Without which; we can be no more than a memory; when its time to leave. We need to have faith and believe that by Gods grace. Eternal life is what we shall receive. A conqueror is what we need to be in times such as these. A time when things are so much worst. Than they were at first. When the powers that be; are abundantly clear. Far more real than we see, hear, smell, touch or feel. Yet we have a tendency to come and go as though we do not know; the end of this world is coming for sure. And Jesus Christ is the only way to ensure existence another day. We must have faith in these last days. We must also be mindful. We must be careful and we must be watchful. As we move closer and closer to the promises of the father. The voice of the word is getting louder and louder. The trumpet will soon sound. Though no one knows the time, the day or the hour. Remember, there’s no place to hide. No easy ride. In Gods arms is the only safe place to abide.

See then that ye walk circumspectly not as fools but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5: 15-16

Christ Life

Peace is something we all seek and certainly need. Nothing takes the place of it and there is only one place and one way in deed.

Living life in Christ makes for inner serenity. Where we have all the amenities in following spiritual principles. Having true freedom and liberty to be who or what we were created to be. This makes for heaven right here on earth. Because with God; all things are possible. And though you think you have a lot, simply because you call the shots or you think you got it all. Pride comes before a great fall. And whom the son has made free is free indeed. Though we may or may not have all the necessities we need. Including beauty, fortune, finance, fame and a good name. Without Christ, you might as well be playing a game. Because you have not began to live. Until you come face to face with what's real. Through self examination, we come to the realization, that we are not all that. And true satisfaction is heaven sent. A wholesome belief is one place to began. Knowing the leader is the key keeper, and his kingdom is worth the time seeking. Because the reward is without completion. And, our priorities can lead us in many, many ways. Whether its a reward of praise or the prolonging of days. Uplifting another, instead of self indulgence; will cause a greater reward of increase, by the power of love. Promoting healing for the inner being. Trust and believe. Life is sweetest when your aim is high and your focus is truth instead of a lie. Experience true life in Christ where there are spiritual wings to soar. Joy unspeakable, with peace in all things.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Mark 10:18Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. Proverbs 16: 18-19

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2

Back Up

You know we all do things that we are not proud of. We make mistakes that seem to be everlasting. We go on self made missions. For all kind of reasons. In and out of season. Here and there. For wealth, for power, for freedom, for health, for love. Most times we end up lost. And we find ourselves in situations we never imagined could happen to us. Yet through it all. Even when we fall. There's a King in the midst. extending a hand to help us; get back up again. In that we can be sure. God is still in control. It all came to pass. It will not last. And as a child of God. We can also rest assured. It all works together for good to those who love the Lord. Though tribulations we go through; may seem to be devastating. There's something in the making. If we can just hold on in the time of need. We can find peace, love and the strength we need; from a higher power. The guidance and direction is brought forth in that most needed hour. Our heavenly Father. The omnipotent one. In the stillness of the spirit and silence of the mind. We hear the instruction. And we get that unction. To move sequent to the orchestrated plan especially meant for the eternal and abundant life we gain. Its already been written and on one accord to that living Word. Hallelujah it can be heard. And through our spiritual sight; we find confirmation. Like pieces of a puzzle its all put together through what seems to be complication Yet resulting in divine revelation.

For a just man falleth seven times , and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Proverbs 24: 16
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.
