To God be The glory, Amen

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised HIM from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Romans 10:8-10 NIV

If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make HIM out to be a liar and HIS word is not in us.

1 John 1:9-10 NIV

To make GOD a liar? GOD is truth “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, You would have known my Father also. From now on you know HIM and have seen HIM”

– John 14:6–7

Many things stand contrary to our understanding. “Raised from the dead?” Who raised Him. Cruelly scourged, dehydrated and hung on a tree. Jesus died, naked and shamed.

Now, there were two centurions placed to guard the tomb He was placed in.

This is dialogue about the events that occurred after the crucifixion.

To further silence the doubters, Jesus was seen and HIS presence experienced by many. Once again HE started small and grew astoundingly profound with time.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Resurrection_appearances_of_Jesus

I have abstained from cutting and pasting and instead direct you to the sources.

Once again, I state:

“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised HIM from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”

Quite easy, but the “dinger” comes in the faith, the belief that Christ rose from the dead. Again, as stated earlier, I viewed a debate between an Islamic cleric and a supposed Christian scholar.

The Islamic scholar stated Jesus asked God/prayed to God for all. I agree whole heartedly. Not one shred of doubt exists that this is true. In the argument of raising Lazarus from the dead, I agree that HE tarried that GOD, The Father be Glorified. He further argued that Jesus was seen to be praying and asking God to perform GOD’s deed. I will point out that while here, Jesus did GOD’s will and allowed GOD to work through HIM.

This definitely can be said of what occurred after the natural death of Jesus. The overwhelming question is how many people were raised from the dead? Once again, I link and not quote:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gotquestions.org/amp/raised-from-the-dead.html

God’s supernatural existence is given proof by HIS AWESOME essence. A polite rebuff would be Mohammed: Mohammadun Rasulu Allah, Allahu Akbar.

Mohammed was not raised from the dead. Yet, I agree that he marked a turn in events. It is key to note that we when reading the above links can see eye witness accounts of the experience of Jesus after being raised from the dead.

To point out, physical laws no longer applied. Even when the disciples for fear of the Jewish authorities locked themselves in an upper room. Jesus came in and was seen and experienced by many. To drive the point in, HE no longer was restricted by human laws.

I have added the link to the above referred to debate:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fGVmzw9VThY

While here HE was just as Human as you or I. If and when we want something done, we do it ourselves or pray much like HE did. We cannot ‘fault’ HIM for this. ALL HE did HE did so that our Father be Glorified. Or rather in support of the Islamic argument GOD worked through HIM.

Now, so many things need to be discussed but first, I will ask you -Do you want to go to Heaven and be with God? The requiremenys are simple. First, believe in your heart and state with your mouth that Jesus IS LORD, in so doing you admit that by the power of our God, HE was raised from the dead.

In doing so, we possess a new lease on life. We know where we are headed. The rest follows suit.

I have so many questions, but they are answerable with this one fact. It is a gamble that you can win! You like craps, cards, bingo, lottery? Here is one ‘chanxw’ that YOU get to take. The rewards are untold.

So let’s get gambling.

Wow! Everything has its time:

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. Ecclesiastes 3:1-14

A time to be tried, a time to prevail. A time of hardship, a time to prevail. A time of loss, a time of gain.

By Jesus’ stripes you are made whole, HE has gone before us in HIS-story that all may come to the knowledge of HIM, believe and be saved.

Quite a simple context, but it is fought tooth and nail. Science says “Impossible.” There are so many examples people being raised from the dead, Evan before Jesus was on the scene. Countless examples! Even If a modern scientist should examine the facts, the people were prepared for the grave, people mourned and in “recovering” (life or health) God was Glorified!!!

Present day has ailments, sickness, deficits, loss, burdens… Our Father is able, HE is able, I know my Father is able to carry you through.

For scientists, it has been done. It is inexplicable!

We see what has been said about fellowship in His name. Amen!!!

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place,

I can feel his mighty power and his grace.

I can hear the brush of angel’s wings,

I see glory on each face;

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place. (Lanny Wolfe)

There is so much to add. I will leave if here and give you time to search, read and learn. I learned recently that so much hinders our walking “in the right”; TV, computers, movies the list is endless. Have you read The Word today?

Thrill seeking is jumping out of a plane, scuba diving, mountaineering… Once again, the list is inexhaustible!

Let me ask a simple question: “What happens after this? Do you take your belongings?”

They are not buried with you!!! Even if they are; You leave your body here and you go beyond. Everything is left here but you. Where do you go? What happens to you? Where are the Lincon’s, George Washington’s, Hitler’s…. I could go on, but where???? Gone? But you are within your body. Who are you? What are you? Do we get in line to return?

We have touched on this passage a number of times before. In reading it again, I was blessed to glean even more from this section of The message. I will start out be saying “Today you play a key role in history. HIS story, Amen.”

Once again, there may be doubters, as believers keep praying for them, allow and let God’s light shine through you, Amen.

And we start our sharing with a keen interest in what is “shared” today.

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help at all times, Amen. We have supernatural foes: evening, planning and seizing what they will. We have supernatural allies. Since the inception of human existence this has been the way. Man was created to be a host of Earth. This was taken, we exist in a world “lorded” over be he that took it from us. I am aware that we have discussed this unseeminglu with no end. But I am led to speak on the way things were, are, can be and ultimately will be, Amen.

What can life be?

My help cometh from the LORD, which made Heaven and Earth, Hallelujah, we believe and it is given freely, continually and bountifully.

We in faith believe and trust that HE will not suffer our feet to be moved, for we stand in HIM and on HIM, Hallelujah!!! Glory, Glory, Glory!!!

HE that keepeth thee will not slumber. In the day that I was blessed to glimpse The GLORY of The LORD, Eve, night, dusk never came. Instead perfection and peace all around. There is save little To compare it to in this world. A peace that passes all descriptions and definition. At this point I am aware noses will be wrinkled and upturned. The “Yeah rights!” Will flow. Frankly, it bothers my not an iota, I saw and experienced, a dream? I cannot say. Morhine or narcotic induced, I dunno! But, 4 years later, I remember it as yesterday.

I have explained to many that a “dream” narcotic induced, does not become clearer as you heal, but rather fades away with time.

Imagine, I asked you your most memorable vacation or holiday. With little thought you will describ your trip, time off, journey to… I remember every detail of my experience time not being a factor. They are memories of The Most Awesome place I have EVER experienced. I DEFINITELY want to go back. What I have learned To share is that before I “woke up” I promised to share my experience. By HIS grace I share.

Let’s carry on.

To address this briefly, in HIS presence brightness, glowing, there as words cannot define, describe or come close to explaining. Even Moses who saw His back, would have expired in this realm if he had gazed upon the Essence of our Father.

This brings us to ‘kinda’ understand the existence of Adam and Eve before the first sin. Before describing this; in the book of Job The All Mighty met with The LORD, and we read:

“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.” Job 1:6-12

Many reasons why we shared this, the sons of God. His creations met with The LORD. Confusing, I am aware. There is so much to be learned The LORD was even before HE stepped down, casting off HIS deity to gr

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.” Amen.

Psalm 121

Every plan that negates the plan of God for your life shall not see the light of the day. The Bible says in the book of Romans 8:31 “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”. The host of heaven shall fight and defeat every secret and open opposition to your advancement in life.  You will move with the speed of light, you will pursue every of your lost glory, you will overtake and recover all. I declare your heaven open and showers of blessing shall fall for your sake in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

I found this on Pinterest!
What do you think? http://pin.it/GjY_dFR

Read this and “Faith it”

THE NEED for Faith. Yes, GOD’s Word dwell on promises, BUT there is a key part we must play.

Remember Genesis 3:13b-19?

“To Eve God said: “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children.

Your desire will be for your husband,

and he will rule over you.”

To Adam HE said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’

“Cursed is the ground because of you;

through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.

It will produce thorns and thistles for you,

and you will eat the plants of the field.

By the sweat of your brow

you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you were created and to dust you will return.”

So we are destined to labour and toil, we must ‘earn our bread’, so to speak. Even this was and is stated in the latter part of the NT “Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone…”

1 Thessalonians 5:12-14

We realize that as Man, it has been shown by The LORD Jesus , that we can refute and rebuke sin. I will point out that Jesus came horrendously close to death after His fast. We have shared how he was taken to the tip of the temple and asked to jump. So many things are hidden in The Word that at the surface are missed. Look at this. IF Christ had said “Yes, Satan knows The Word, I will just show him so that he can go and let me be!” Yours and my part would be sealed for eternity. Pride! Thee example here was pride. His answer was..”The Word says…” Many lessons here, The Word ALWAYS pointed out which way HE was to go! We have a path, that has been taken by a Human like us! Yes, Spiritually HE was a part of GOD, but physically HE was like unto us!

The 3 temptations hold so much teaching! And we have so much to learn from them. Pray and read them again, Jesus’ answers, just like ours should be.

We cannot forget that at each moment there was an audience! Both sides of The bench watched in anticipation at what would occur.

As we shared prior, Jesus never shared what HE went through in those 40 days and nights. We must ask, just what? But be comforted to know that HE did it for us. In support of my statement above, when it was all done, Angels from Heaven came and ministered to HIM. “Then the devil left HIM, and angels came and attended HIM.” Matthew 4:11

Just what did they minister to? Were there cuts, scrapes, bruises, wounds? We do not know, but are led to read, hear and know what an example this was. Jesus, our LORD and Savior brought so much into being!!!

Pray for what you want/need first, before you read.

Say “I believe that my promises are true and I claim them in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Then be silent, and trust in God who never fails!!! A rip roaring Hallelujah!!!

Let us pray and ‘Faith’ together. “For where 2 or 3 are gathered in His name HE is here in our midst.” I am aware of there being “covens” in the underworld and I read of meeting in the absence of physical bodies.

As discussed in our sharing, there is “Me,” and there is The body.

When you say “I,” the “I” that you speak of is the “I” made in the image of God – The Father. Our bodies are only vessels of the Spirit within us, Amen

The reason I share this is even though we Mau not be aware, prayer chains, phone fellowshup, even mail, email are all ways that we communicate. We can step it up a notch by The Grace of our Father. Meet in The Spirit to give Glory to His name in Jesus’ name, Amen

(1) You will find favor with someone you dont expect………Amen.

(2) You will be too relevant to be ignored………….Amen.

(3) You will encounter GOD and will never remain the same……….Amen.

(4) The grace for completion will come on you, you shall be blessed till the blessed call you blessed………..Amen.

(5) The hand that will send this message to others shall not labor in vain………Amen.

(6) ALL your needs shall be met by God’s ENDLESS riches in Glory. We have a Father that is radiant and fulfills ALL our needs…Amen

(7) What we decree here on Earth is ESTABLISED in Heaven!…Amen

(8) The mouth saying ”Amen” to this prayer shall laugh forever………Amen.

Folks” I received this and was led to add. We MUST learn to speak to The Father and His Son, The All Mighty Jesus without ceasing or season. There is never a time where or when we should be without prayer. Yes, the promises here are for “faithers.” A term I coined recently.

If in faith you receive the plentios blessings that have been poured out. By The AWESOME grace of The Father, by the sacrifice of HIS Son and The Spirit within us speaking with The Father on our behalf with sighs and groans so deep, presenting our needs and wants to The Father on our behalf.

Pray in faith AND you will recieve. ALL you Faithed for. Be blessed and as you faith (believing into existence, that which is currently NOT, but will be!!! Hebrews 11:1 -I quote “Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”)

Amazingly, this was sent with good tidings and great hope. If you are led share, if you want to cherish it, Amen.

In faith I say Very Very soon, GOD is going to do a miracle and lift u up by and in His grace to His GLORY, Amen

Let your light SO shine before men, that the blessed WILL call you Blessed, Amen

Remember soon and very soon we are going to see our King. A lot of times, there is a question of “when?”

“‘But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.’”

2 Peter 3:8-9

We are having a sermon! I will stop. Recieve as you believe in Jesus’ name, Amen

Today and beyond may  the  breakthrough of how did it happen, the miracle of that is not possible, the favour that ridicules labour, answers from God that surpasses human imagination and expectations,  Glory that swallows shame, drastic positive change of condition that brings confusion, and controversy, the acceleration that can not be stopped, the prosperity that is  beyond explanation, the joy that brings sorrow to the  enemy, the transformation that produces congratulation and celebration, locate you and your family in the mighty name of Jesus.  Amen Good morning & have a blessed day

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

James 1:5

“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

“The one thing I ask of the LORD—

the thing I seek most—

is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,

delighting in the LORD’s perfections

and meditating in his Temple.”

Psalm 27:4

What we truly ask, we seek! What we need, we find. Lacking sugar, salt, a necessary condiment, we ask a neighbour. Haven’t you heard them yell/scream? Or is all in Love done? How much more when we want, we seek, when we need, we find! If we are blessed to know that we are asking The Creator of Heaven and earth. I should say, the galaxies! We find order where there was once disorder, essence where it was not.

It blows your mind!!! ALL is in order. The planet’s orbit around the Sun. We are at such a distance that the rays reach and warm, but do not burn. We were placed here. Created to do HIS will. We were to tend over Earrth and it’s fullness. In obeying HIS will we would have been fed from the tree of Life! Adam would still be here! Angels are created to serve God for eternity.

We have pointed out that Lucifer In his beauty and magnificence was known by Jesus when he appeared after His fast. The temptations are a Great lesson. Each of them – growing in stature as they went on. First, Jesus half starved, tempted to turn stone to bread. Think about it! 40 days without eating and/or drinking! The horrors! And be asked simply to turn stone to bread! We are met with temptation daily. How do we respond? If Satan had set a table, would Jesus have fallen? A keen question to ask. BUT, how would the table have been set? The profound food on the platter would have been tempting enough, BUT what made this AWESOME in its lesson. Satan wanted Jesus to do all the work. As shared, there was an audience in the Spiritual realm. Think about it! We all have a guardian angel as has been promised.

http://www.beliefnet.com/inspiration/angels/6-scriptures-that-support-the-existence-of-guardian-angels.aspx

https://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/are-guardian-angels-biblical/

http://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-surprising-role-of-guardian-angels

There was a Spiritual audience. In fasting Jesus was tempted, HE underwent such trials and tribulations that even He could not share. He want about preaching but kept the occurrences in HIS Spirit Hallelujah! With the audience comes the fact that ‘watchers’ when all was said and done stepped into the physical realm and ministered to HIM. “Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.”

Matthew 4:11

This gives a definite idea of the fact that we are on a stage, observed and affected or effecting every move we make.

To further point this out; before the agony of the cross; Jesus who knew what was to come asked His Father if the cup could be passed over Him. He sweat drops of blood – Hematidrosis.

“Also in the garden of Gethsemane in

Luke 22, the Bible describes how an angel — who traditionally has been identified as Archangel Chamuel — met Jesus there to comfort and encourage him for the challenge ahead.”

We are on a stage acting each moment to the pleasure and pride of opposing sides.

No matter what we do, we are living and acting out our emotions. Will you not place them where the promise is greater. Even if you have all here, what do you take to the next place you will be? As we see, deceased people do not carry their wealth. Let me be pesky for a second. Where are they?

At this point we share a few verses on rewards for out Labour’s:

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.”

“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”

“Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail.”

“So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.”

James 2:12

God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us.

And we read further:

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,a and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

Unity and Diversity in the Body

At times it must grieve The LORD when we stand in judgement of others! Well not ‘judgement’ but ‘welled up emotional expressions.’ Ephesians 4:26 says “26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” And we might have heard “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” Matthew 7:1-3

Wow! This is fast becoming a learning treat, Praise GOD!!!

Many are called, few are chosen! Do you want to be among “The chosen?”

In some ways, I can say “Yup! That’s easy.” Is it? We are all one body. Each with their calling and drive. To each is given their strengths. Eyes, thank you for seeing. Hands can do their work because of you! Hands, thanks for working all, carving hammering, cooking, sewing, wiping tears, hugging…with the help of arms! Feet thank you for carrying me where I need to go, for giving me laughter when tickled, the strength in you is brought on by the muscles that are protected by the skin! The nose that breathe, the lung that filter, the heart that beats! Center of it all with the brain that thinks, we touch on thanks to emotions. Our rejoicing in The LORD, our crying before HIM!!! Alleluia!!! The veins and Areteries carry the much precious blood to all organs, extremities… Thank you bladder, for getting rid of what the body has no need of.  Thank you innards for processing, absorbing – another center of our being!

We can look at it and see, knowing that each part has its unique function – Hallelujah! When we look unto Heaven, so be it. Ministering angels, Praising angels, Guiding angels, Messenger angels…it goes on. My little challenge today is as you are reading, listening to, or even being shared with – ask, how many different types of angels there are.

http://people.howstuffworks.com/9-types-of-angels.htm

http://www.allaboutgod.com/types-of-angels-faq.htm

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.beliefnet.com/inspiration/angels/galleries/11-types-of-angels-for-every-need.aspx&ved=0ahUKEwjq5q3wmITWAhUj2oMKHSIbD7cQFghrMA0&usg=AFQjCNFPKbPDAXk0O6bhagK_UBX7Ow4jqw

As I said, this is fast becoming a learning share, even for me. To round it off, I will point out that we each have our part to play! Prayer warriors, lift us up before our Father in Heaven. We shall all bow before HIS excellence! At the name of JESUS every knee shall bow and every tongue confess Hallelujah JESUS Christ is LORD!!! In realization cometh blessing. In receiving HIM into your heart, The Spirit rejoices!!! Our “Tongue” speakers, your focus is on The LORD our All.

Each part has a role… As we are led in our directions, remember to fellowship. One with another to build the body up! Amen!!!

In fact, the “presence” of angels in their GLORY given states is the glow. “While shepherds watched their flocks by night, the Angel of The LORD came down, and GLORY shone around!” As humans, we DO NOTworship angels, they in Heavenly places are creations of our Father. Just as we are, on that end, when we see them with GOD’s GLORY shining in and on them. We are smitten!

In reading the word; Abraham observed two men from a distance, before … They must have seemed “Royal”, in Genesis 18:1-6, it says “The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.

He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord,a do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.”

“Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.”

So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahsb of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.”

These were “beings” sent by God. It does not say if they were royalty, but Abrahm bowed before them. Again giving respect where respect is due.

In reviewing my words, it was stressed that I ensure that it is “stated” that man does not worship angels. I agree! Jesus, a humble human in the flesh knew who Satan was in all his glory. Satan on the other hand stated that he would give Jesus a seat on high on the earth. There are so many lessons from this.

1. Satan is The father of all lies. What he said, IF Jesus had fallen for it, he may never deliver what he ‘said’ he would deliver.

2. It shows who at this time is in possession of the wealth of the world.

3. There was an ‘audience’, unseen to the human eye. But, meditate on this; would the ‘ruler’ of this earth, be in a situation where he was alone? Though Jesus did not share it; so much happened in His period of fasting. Much as we have a Spiritual audience now. How much more The Son of GOD All Mighty who shed his title and stepped down from His position and status on High, to become human. Not a ruler, but the step son of a carpenter! “For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.” Genesis 6:38

“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery  to be equal with God.” The Son of God sought nothing higher of greater; because He was already in the form of God; because He was equal with Him, for He was God. Because He announced Himself to be “equal with His Father are one,” thus making Himself God, the Jews tried to kill Him– John 5:18 and 10:30-33. Therefore when He came to the earth, He was not grasping after something; for He already possessed everything. Literally,  “He esteemed not equality with God a thing to be seized with a hook;” but He

1.  “Made Himself of no reputation.”  This is the first solemn step downward. That is, He  “emptied Himself.”  All things were created by Him and for Him; by the emptied Himself of His strength, saying, “The Son can do nothing of Himself” — John 5:19.  “He was crucified thru weakness” — 2 Cor. 13:4. He emptied Himself of His wealth, saying,  “The Son of Man hath not where to lay His head” — Matt. 8:20. Throughout the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus is called “the Son of Man” almost invariably, because He “made Himself of no reputation” as to His Deity. This emptying is expressed in Paul’s words. “Tho He was rich, Yet for your sakes He became poor, that thru His poverty, Ye might become rich” — 2 Cor. 8:9. He was rich in power and honor and place and ownership and holiness, but He voluntarily emptied Himself of it all for the sake of mankind.

Therefore He

2. “took upon Him the form of a servant.” This is simply unthinkable. How could the high and holy Son of God, in debt to no one, not even to His Father, and needing nothing — how could He take a slave’s place and form? What an exchange! The holy Son of the most high God volunteered to exchange  “the form of God” for the “form of a servant.” Reader, do you grasp it? The Sovereign of the universe stepped from the loftiest place of absolute authority and power down to the low, menial place of slave.

“They are my ‘friend'”

“Don’t be judgemental…”

“It is only a ‘little” thing..this ‘friendship’!”

“I do not see what is wrong with my being associated with them…”

“Are you sure you heard\saw them doing just that?”

“I see nothing wrong with our associating…”

Any one of these could be an ‘excuse’! Do we want to continue channeling advice exactly how we feel it is to be? Based on our feelings\emotions? Many times we receive this advice from people who truly Love us! Check this out… I didn’t just wake up this morning and state this…It has been said quite a few times. If I am not mistaken, you have read it!

Ok, I will be clear…

“Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?”

Just saying…More likely than not Saint Paul heard/noticed some cases where this was occurring in Corinth and stated the above!

Where do we stand? Excuse city? Just saying…

Let us examine our lives and be right, Amen

Are you light? A new creation? “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Check it out: “The old things have passed away…” All things have become ‘new’, Amen

Gone are our excuses; “Reasons” for supping with the ‘unknown.’ At this point, so many things are in\on my Spirit. But rather than ‘state’ fact, you know what is! Self correction is key. Knowledge is powerful and we all have The Spirit

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me

to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners

and recovery of sight for the blind,

to set the oppressed free,
