Abide in the resurrection of Christ

It's not all about me, or you.  Not what we feel, not what we think or do.  But, it's all about truth.  Jesus Christ, the Saviour of Life.  Everyone has experienced some negativity in one way or another.  Living in a world of sin its kinda hard to miss.  However there is a way to live with out this.  The same way we know the minus signs.  We can know the sign of times.

Though Jesus Christ was crucified, he was resurrected and now alive.  Just as he lives in us, there's a place in him to abide. In him we find positivity.  In him captives, and prisoners of the  mind are made free.  Since we are all spiritual, physical and mental beings.  We have a responsibility to choose and answer for how we live.  And we should have a natural instinct of care, for ourselves, who's and what were here for.  We should be in search of a better course, something more.  Let us therefore be purged of that negative force.

Accept, abide and rise in Christ .  In whom we have power to cast out that negative source.  While  gaining eternal life. Taking in quality things and distributing the remains.  By sharing and caring for one another according to the commandment of the father. Therefore, let us all awake from sleep.  and go to the place to be.  In times such as these.  Jesus Christ is the only one who can truly take care of our needs.  Through trial and tribulations we can have inner peace.  In every circumstance.  There is a saviour who can.  Despite the world of sin there's an opportunity of being born again.  If your spirit is dead.

Remember, Jesus Christ is not in that grave where he was laid.  He was resurrected on the third day.  As you go through, what you go through.  I encourage you to go to him who Has all power in his hand.  So that you may have another chance to live again.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:  John 11:25

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.     John 14: 16-18

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.  John 15:7

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.  Matthew:  22 37-40

Vision of Resurrection

Sometimes it seems you're all alone.  And nothing in life can ease the pain when you've been hurt.  Or give you the strength to even move on.  Though the ones you love, make you realize you must continue to live.  For their sake, you can't give up and you can not loose.

One night long ago.   I nearly cried myself asleep. With thoughts of death and little hope left.   Hurt from disappointment, rejection and grief. I found myself walking on an uncertain street. In the midst of darkness and fog with a shadow of light. In the depth of my darkest night.  Moving on a flat surface, the length of a tree. No life form was near.  And I was free from fear. I noticed nothing above and nothing beneath.  So thought to my self. "I must go on" As I continued to walk. I felt a presence.  I wasn't alone.  Still free from fear. I continued to move on. I came close to what seem to be an old gray cave. I looked in once and saw nothing within.  Though peace of mind had finally sunk in.  At once I felt an unction to look in again. Than said to myself. "That's strange, am I missing something?" I saw nothing and thought.  What was that all for?  At that point I really didn't care anymore. Than again I was prompted  to look in.  And saw there was  nothing to comprehend.  In frustration I turned. And the image was near. Saying " Go ahead, why don't you look in again." I thought to myself free from wonder or fear. " Why am I here and what do I care?" So I looked in again and saw nothing within. But the image so near seem to be more clear. He said " I'm not in there. I'm here. Right here.   I've been here all the time. Holding your hand and making you mine." 
I said "My Lord I must of been blind.  Though now I see; the magnificent sight of his Majesty. How Jesus died; for you and I. He was crucified. The tombstone was moved. The Master rose the third day before noon.  The king of kings was not in the place, where his garment lay. The price had been paid. The captives set free. Our sins are forgiven because the Savior has risen. So receive ye the blessings of his resurrection.

And the angel answered and said unto the women.  Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified.  He is not here; for he is risen, as he said.  Come, see the place where the Lord lay.  And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goeth before you into Gal-i-lee; there shall ye see him; lo, I have told you.  Matthew 28: 5-7

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 52: 5

And the angel answered and said unto the women.  Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified.  He is not here; for he is risen, as he said.  Come, see the place where the Lord lay.  And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goeth before you into Gal-i-lee; there shall ye see him; lo, I have told you.  Matthew 28: 5-7

Know your Adversary

Celebrate life. Live in truth. Walk in peace as children of light do. And be not consumed in chaos and strife. Blindly abiding in the darkness of night. We have to really be ware; in judgment and trust. Because as Jesus is real. The enemy is. We need Christ in us; to abide in live. And not make way. Or simply give place; on any given day. Remember, the father of lies wants to rein in Gods place. As king in your life. And you the sacrifice. I encourage you. Be sightful in Christ. Know your adversary, whom wears a mask upon his face. As you come and go. This you must know. There’s an evil out there. Traveling everywhere. Trying to gain your trust. Fill your heart, mind and spirit with lust. Using all sorts of devices, tricks and tools. Whatever it takes. An ambitious goal to seduce you. If you're not attentive. He'll have your mind, body soul and time. Taking advantage of ever opportunity he finds. His destination is set and he’s trying to take all he can get. Sometimes in the form of an unsuspected love one. A friend, a sister, a mother, a brother, a father, a spouse, a son or any other. Not always on purpose. But any person, place or thing that leaves a door open. So take heed to the spirit of Gods holy word. Because if it unease's the spirit. Maybe there's something you should be ware of. Though the adversary does not contain the keys to your soul. He reins in this world. And the choice is yours. The house of disguise with the father of lies? Or the Kingdom of God bought forth by love?

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you 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 perseverance and supplication for all saints. Ephesians 6: 10-18

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2: 10-16


Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5 19-22

Praise Worthy

Thank you Lord for a glorious start, without you I would have been torn apart. But like the great God you are. You came and you saved me, when I felt I was being destroyed. You came into my heart and gave me a new start. You brought me through the wilderness I chose to be in. When I was lost in this world, constantly paying a cost that had already been paid. Times when I should have been dead. You breathe life in me over and over. Anointed my head, and restored my soul. Than like a bride, you carried me across the threshold. To you I give all the honor praise and glory because you alone are praise worthy.
When I thought I couldn't. You told me I would. When I thought I might. You told me I should. You put the pieces in my hand and let me know it was part of your plan. When I didn't understand. You let me know it was in your hand. All I had to do was keep my eyes on you. Than like the people of Israel, I also forgot. But you never turned your back. You kept me even when I slept. To you I give all the honor praise and glory, because you alone are praise worthy.
So often, I was led in your presence by your most holy spirit. With clarity and direction I could see where I'd been. The rights and wrongs of all that happened. I learned valuable lessons, I choose not to forget. As I recall the spiritual sight you gave in midst of my night. How you showed me the way and brought light in my day. I can't help but say. Hosanna and Hallelujah, Holy is he that come in the name of the Lord. my Father, my Friend, my Counselor, my God.
I give you all the praise because you carried me through many days. Days when I couldn't carry my own weight, didn't have the strength or will to pray. When again, I was lost and wondering, like a little lamb. Your majesty came, the great " I am" snatched me out of the enemies hand. Like, when I was delivered from the spiritual land of Egypt which had me bound. I felt as though I was on lock down, in slavery. You was the only one who could possibly save me. You made a way of escape through the red sea in my life. A path that I could walk through. A sure way to get by. While holding my hand and wiping the tears I'd cry. You gave me awesome joy and inner peace. Than supplied my every need.
Now, life without you is something I can't see. Within my God, I find truth, justice and liberty. So I must always say " To my God goes the honor, glory and praise". It shall never cease. Forever In your presence is where I choose to be. To you, Jesus Christ my Lord, I give all the honor praise and glory because you alone are praise worthy.


On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. John 12: 12-13 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. Psalm 106:9 They forgat God their saviour which had done great things in Egypt. Psalm 106: 21 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. Psalm 18: 8

Attention

Sometimes it’s really hard. But it pays to pay attention and be obedient to God. Though It may seem difficult at times, and totally opposite; of what we had in mind.
Like letting go of something or someone we choose; to keep in our life.
Many might consider that to be a huge sacrifice.
However, the reward is much greater in taking heed to the word, because we know for sure; His will is from love. And when we know in our heart it’s something from God giving us unction, to do or not to do. Our final goal should be to follow through.
Just think, through faith in Christ, what may seem impossible can be achieved, bringing signs and wonders to those who believe. In all that, we also receive confirmation through circumstance or situation. Because Jesus lives in our spirit, we know its not speculation. Therefore we must act from instruction and proceed in faith. Free from doubt or reluctance. Even though we may not see reasons why. His purpose shall be revealed sooner than you think, by and by.
So make good use of this tool. By being alert and taking heed to his word. Because we know for Sure our God is Love and you never know what you may discover. Since the father is a deliverer. He can and will move you away from self destruction, hurt, disappointment, and rejection. But always consider the source and prior results while listening out for his voice.
And know this, God confirms his word for sure. Whatever comes from above is settled in heaven and earth. Confirmation you can trust. We should know this from the way we see things line up in order, with the reflections of prayer we hear from the mouth of others.
So remember, to everything there is a reason within the Kingdom of the most high which materializes in life. All because Jesus Christ made the ultimate sacrifice. And most of what we have on earth will not last. It came to pass.

Than Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Acts 5:29

And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Mark 16-20

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that you come behind in no gift: Waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.. “Who shall also confirm you unto the end, “that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Corinthians 1, 6-8

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Revelation 2:7

Real

You might as well be real. Because whatever it is. You have to cover or hide. It will eventually rise. No sense in being surprised; when that time arrives. Because the truth is, has and will always be. The only difference is. In what you choose to see. What you choose to do and what you choose to believe.
Just think. If you confess. Let go of all that mess. You'd be able to stand and find some strength within.
Although letting go is not pleasing to most folks, and you may feel persecuted, crucified and rejected. It’s worth the perspective seen through Gods eyes. It's better to live in truth and be dead to the lies. Because in every way, there’s a price to be paid. As you walk this earth each and every day.
Keep in mind. You're living on borrowed time. And the only thing that will last; is what don't come to pass.
A heart of love can change your world. Joy felt inside will make a much better ride. And peace within is a new beginning. Faith is the way and today is the day. This life we live is the choice we make. Or risk we take. But, each day we wake. Is another chance; to start all over and do it again. So let’s hope and pray that as the day began. We live life in a way, that will never end.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8: 32

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:10

For God so loveth the world that he gave his only begotten Son that who soever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life John 3: 16

Spirit or Carnal

There are many men and women; who bring forth the Word of God. Some with so much power and force. We know from the infliction, healing and conviction. Its nothing less than; that Mighty Sword. Knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt; the Holy Spirit is present. Because it penetrates our heart. Stimulates our mind and relates to our very soul. Letting us know for sure. Its a message from the Lord. From beginning to end. We know we've been in his presence. Through the Word that's living. What concerns me is that; confusion, lies and destruction.. Comes from the very same vessel. And its not something rare. Its going on everywhere. So we must be diligently on guard. Rightly dividing the Word.. And not take heed or respond to what's of a deadly seed. You see our Father God; can use whom, or whatever he pleases. Doesn't make them a saint or even in this race. They could of just so happen to be in the right time or place. We should always beware and be in constant prayer. Recognize. We're in the last days. No need to be surprised. While in the midst of a battle. Where the victories already won. We will loose some. All will not be saved. So we must be spiritually minded as we go through these days. Examining ourselves; making sure we stay in the way. And being ever so careful; not to be led astray. Observe divine confirmation toward the final destination. If you're spiritually inclined and not carnal in mind. Your journey shall be successful and not simply a waste of time. Though we be in this world. Remember we are of another. And our weapons are not carnal. We should always be suited in the proper armor.


Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23

(For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh can not please God. Romans 8: 6-8)

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.
