Let's not let the flesh get the best of us. But present our selves whole heartily in the presence of the father. Sometimes it takes a conscious decision just to listen. When were surrounded by so much of the worlds lust and ignorance. It's not always easy. We need quiet space within that place, where the message is relayed. Inside our heart, spirit, mind and soul; is where the food of the word needs to go. In this we should be submissive, since we know inside it will be an influence on how we live.
We all have to make a priority of what we believe in. The spirit is willing, but the flesh isn't. We have to be submissive to the will of God and have ears to listen.
Though it's easier said than done. We've been given an anchor to help us hold on. Because the storms of life will surly come. We must have faith in the anointed one.
Turning your life over to Christ is where to begin. He's the only begotten son, the anointed one; who left us a gift of the Holy Spirit. In which, we must first be submissive to his will, and learn how to listen. The peace we seek is the peace we need in order to take heed.
In the midst of chaos. There is always a way out. In Christ you'll find that quiet spot. Where he's the anchor of your soul. The way in which, we all need to go. His voice is the one you hear within. Saying peace be still, come unto me and I will calm that storm and cause you to live.
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Hebrews 6: 19
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: Proverbs 1: 5
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, GOD RESISTETH THE PROUD, BUT GIVETH GRACE UNTO THE HUMBLE. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4: 6-7
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46: 10
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was great calm. Mark 4: 39

Lost Mission
Some may think that all we have to do is say or display a recital and we've done what’s required. But that's far from the truth. There are people out there lost. Whom the savior has already paid a cost. They don't know the way. And don't realize what's going on or why the problems they face are happening every day. Those without Christ in their life are in need of a guide.
We, who know the truth and believe, have an objective to achieve. That goal should be following the one in the lead. With a heart of compassion for those that are lacking. We should all be on a mission, putting our faith in to action. We must let our voices be heard, by spreading the word. There are many in need and not enough followers; doing the deed.
As we follow Christ; in the way there's a place called saving life. In the way there's a place called saving grace. Where mercy and truth abides in you. Where instruction is given in all that you do. There's an image that represents the love of God, which is heaven sent. A heart of forgiveness, truth, peace, joy, and patience.
As we hunger and thirst for more of his word. We despise the evil and wickedness of this world. Because we belong to a higher place, of so much more. We're not at ease with lust or sin of the flesh. We have no comfort in lies, deceit or disguise. Our spirit is in union with truth. Therefore we recognize things, most can't see with the physical eyes. So if you're following Christ. These traits should be a part of you. Giving you unction to do, what God has called you to do. A mission, called eternal living. Leading others to take part in what you've been freely given. Reaching out a hand to those who may slip, is also a part of it. Displaying that forgiveness, again and again. Because when people see you. They should see Christ in the things you do. There should be a light shinning bright, and not a cloud of darkness; as in the night. The laborers are few. But the harvest is plenty. So please, let's go forth and get it right.
Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matthew 9: 37-38
And as ye go, preach, saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Matthew 10: 7-8
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Proverbs 11: 30
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Romans 12: 9
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5: 22-26

Joy of the Lord
Sometimes we experience great pain hurt or anger from the negative aspects of this world. It can range from physical need to emotional hurt brought fourth, sometimes by the very people we love.
Even if it was unintentional; the effect can be somewhat overwhelming to say the least. Time such as these. There is a greater need for comfort, serenity and inner peace. The death of a loved one or some sort of relationship outcome. Both can be one of the worst forms of grief you can experience.
Days such as these. There is greater need for spiritual connection. An in depth communion and reflection through ferverant prayer. Going down on bended knees, asking God for comfort and release.
This state of depression or grief is not a place, where anyone wants to be. So it a good idea to focus on God with all of your heart where those disruptive emotions are torn apart. Because the strength we have inside comes from the joy of the Lord. There is no other source. So when you feel such dread. Arise from the dead and abide in the foundation of love and grace the good Lord gave.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your Joy may be full. John 16:24
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 30: 5
Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into Joy. John 16: 20
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the JOY OF THE LORD is your strength. Nehemiah 8: 10

Blind Truth
There is good and bad in all reality. Sometimes things we experience are hard to believe. Because of difference, change or simply how strange it may be. Like getting a large unexpected blessing that you never even imagined receiving. Some find it real hard just believing.
Than we have those situations where, you really don't want to believe it. Or it's easier to be in denial. Why? Because you feel ashamed or you prefer to just ignore it because of the consequences. So you become a liar. To your own self, because you think it's best. Problem with that, is, it causes issues to be unresolved. Among that is the distance it causes. For fear of confrontation there is separation with a spirit of lying denial. This is nothing less than trickery from the enemy.
For example, you can't be healed from an illness, you refuse to admit exist. In doing so, you suffer and may even die from it. We must acknowledge our circumstance in order to get a second chance. If something is tearing you up on the inside. You got to get it out. Just like a race and winning a prize. If you don't run. There is no way you can win, if you never begin.
Just like confession. There is a feeling and sense of relief. When we get rid of all that guilt. The poison of mind, heart and spirit; causes us to get further and further away from the Father. And closer to the father of liars. This leads to destruction, eternal death and everlasting fire. Therefore beware, in truth and not in denial. Because we're living in a time when we need not be blind. But consumed in the Word, which is the spirit of Truth. Therefore, let not blind deception become part of you.
By mercy and TRUTH iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. Proverbs 16: 6
Thou BLIND Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. MARK 8: 26
He that speaketh TRUTH sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. Proverbs 12: 17
The lip of TRUTH shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Proverbs 12: 19
And ye shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you free. John 8: 32
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is BLIND, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
