1 John 4:1- You Can't Believe Everything You Hear

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

We are warned in this text to NOT believe everything we hear. Just because someone says I am a Bishop, Prophet, Pastor, Bible Teacher, Theologian, Scholar, etc. does not necessarily means that they are teachers of Sound Doctrine..

Everything that we want to know about life and living is found in the Word of God. We were not created by God to figure out life on our own. God has given us His manual to live by called the "Bible" and we must use it if we are not to be deceived by false teaching.

People of God, you must make sure that what you are being taught biblically is from the Word of God and not man's opinions, ideas, theories, suggestions, etc.

In these evil days in which we live, the enemy is more crafty and deceitful than ever before. We are reminded of these words in Matthew 24:24- For false Christ and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

People of God, it is time to dig deep into the "TREASURES" of God's Word where the ONLY truth about life and living is found.

CHECK THE BOOK! Everything we need to know, every question we can possibly come up with or imagine in our finite mind has an answer in the Word of God. 

Your take away today from this message is "YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR"! Study the word of God to show thy self approved unto God!

Today is the day to go against the current of false teaching and hold fast to the truth of God's Word that is found in His bible.

We can not afford to believe everything we hear because the "ANTICHRIST" is among us.

PEOPLE OF GOD, TEST THE SPIRIT!

God bless.

Psalm 91:11 Angels Are Watching Over You

Psalm 91:11-for He shall give His angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways.

People of God, this is the Word of the Lord concerning us on today. 

The Lord our God gives us a promise on this morning of His divine protection over us by means of His " SPIRITUAL ANGELS" whom He has dispatched to protect us as we go about our daily routine throughout the day.

Regardless of the attacks that may come against us, the Lord our God is declaring that He is with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us.

When the man of God arose early in the morning and saw the great army of the enemies that had encamped against them as they slept that night, the Lord God opened his eyes and gave him a view of what was happening in the realm of the spirit .

There are some things that are only seen or discerned through God's Holy Spirit. Spiritual sight is only visible through a personal relationship with God through Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 2:14-But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

Mighty Warrior, Great in battle is our God!

People of God, the Lord our God sends His angels to provide assistance and safety to us and to have charge over us to keep us in all our ways. He reminds us of this in our text on today.

No, we can not see the angels that the Lord has assigned to us personally because God's "Angels" are invisible, but, present with us. These "Angels" hears and responds to God as He commands them to help or intervene on our behalf. 

People of God, we may not always see our protecting "angel" , feel them or may even wonder or forget that they are there at times, but know this one thing, "they are there" for God's word says it.

The Lord's protection of us is real!

Thank You Lord that by faith we can rest assured as we venture out each and every day that you are with us and looking over us every step of the way by means of your ministering "Angels" that you have assigned to each of us individually.

Thank you Lord for going before us, even on today, to clear the path of safety before us.

JEHOVAH! MIGHTY WARRIOR ARE YOU LORD.

We "LOVE" YOU LORD, WE PRAISE YOUR NAME. WE GIVE YOU GLORY AND HONOR.

Your Servant, Debra

Proverbs 9:10-The Wisdom Of God Is Calling Us

Proverbs 9:10-The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

WISDOM=sophia in the greek and is defined as wisdom, insight, skill (human or divine), intelligence.

Wisdom! How do we get it? The Word of God is the only means by which "TRUE" wisdom is found. God rejects the world wisdom!

Proverbs 4:10-11 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings,  and the years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths.

People of God, the "WISDOM" of God is calling us to continue our daily pursuit of her so that we may learn and know God and His will for our lives that is written in His Word alone.  

If there ever was a time where the "WISDOM" of God is needed, it is in these evil days and time in which we now live. Lies, deception and unwise thoughts are at the forefront of many minds.

Knowledge through books, magazines, television, etc seems to be the most sought after thing in this world in which we live, but God is sending forth a clarion call to His people to seek "divine wisdom" through HIs Word and prayer, for His wisdom is the principle thing and the beginning of true knowledge and understanding.

All that the world has to offer is short lived and temporary!

People of God the time to pray for discernment and seek Godly wisdom is now! Matthew 24:24-For false Christs and false prophets will appear and they will provide great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones).

People of God, the "WISDOM" of God is calling us! Are you listening? Do you hear her calling? Are you giving MUCH thought to what the Holy Spirit is trying to say, show and teach you?

True "WISDOM" is found in God alone and is not self seeking, but God seeking. 

May God continue to richly bless you all as you daily strive to walk in obedience to His divine wisdom..

God bless.

John 16:33 We Can Not Escape The Troubles Of This World

John 16:33-“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.”

Jesus, in preparing His disciples for His death, resurrection and departure back to the Father in heaven. He told them that "after a little while, He will no longer be with them physically." He also warned them that they WILL suffer tribulation because of Him, but, even in the midst of suffering they can have His peace because He has overcome the world.

As Jesus said to His disciples back then, He is saying the same to us today. "In this world we WILL have trouble, but in Christ there is peace."

Jesus' promise of "tribulation" clarifies for us that it can not be escaped. Trouble is a part of life that visits all. If it has not visited you yet, "KEEP LIVING"!

As God's people, when we find ourselves experiencing trials and tribulations, hardships, calamities, persecution, etc., we are not to think that something strange is happening to us because we have already been told by Jesus to expect trouble.  

1 Peter 4:12-14 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though some strange thing happened to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share in Christ’s sufferings, so that you may rejoice and be glad also in the revelation of His glory. 14 If you are reproached because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

People of God, the Lord our God has called us to a life that runs contrary to the world system, practice, behavior and attitude.  A call to be different. A call to be not conformed to the world but transformed by the renewing of our minds.

We can not escape the troubles of this world, but we can have God's peace in the world.

Be of good cheer! Jesus got you!

God bless.

Colossians 3:12 What Have You Chosen To Clothe Yourself With

Colossians 3:12 God loves you and has chosen you as his own special people. So be gentle, kind, humble, meek, and patient.

As people of God, we must clothed ourselves with the nature and character of the new Spirit of Christ that came to dwell within us when we got saved.

Because Christ lives is in us, we should be bearing fruit that resembles Him and not who we once were before He changed us.

Let us all daily examine ourselves from this day forward to make sure that when the day of inspection, which is guaranteed to come, show up, we will be found to have been bearing fruit of the Spirit.

God bless.

Psalm 27: 1-5 The Lord God Is Your Savior And Protector

Psalm 27:1-5 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom will I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid?

2 When the wicked came against me to eat my flesh—my enemies and my foes—they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart will not fear; though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing I have asked from the Lord, that will I seek after-for me to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to see the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple.

5 For in the time of trouble He will hide me in His pavilion; in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me; He will set me up on a rock.

People of God, fear not for the Lord our God is our Savior and our Protector.

God bless.

Psalm 91: 1-16 In The Presence of the Lord God Is That Secret Place

Psalm 91:1-16 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.”

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly pestilence.4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall find protection; His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; 6 nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness, nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling, 10 there shall be no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your tent; 11 for He shall give His angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways. 

12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;  the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 Because He has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, and I will deliver him and honor him.  16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.

People of God, the Lord your God is your hiding place. He is your shelter in the time of storm, a very present help in the time of trouble.

It is in the Lord's presence where love, redemption, safety, peace and everlasting hope is found.

Seek Him on today!

God bless.

Isaiah 7:14 Prophecy Of The Virgin Conception

Isaiah 7:14 - Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: The virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 

Isaiah=  יְשַׁעְיָה is the original Hebrew name which is translated Ysha'yah.

Isaiah = Ἠσαΐας, ου, ὁ is the original Greek name which is translated Esaias. 

Isaiah was a Hebrew prophet who was believed to have lived about 700 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. Born in Jerusalem, Israel, he was said to have found his calling as a prophet when he saw a vision in the year of King Uzziah's death. Isaiah prophesy the coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ.

Immanuel = Ἐμμανουήλ, ὁ is the original Greek word. In the Greek it is pronounced Emmanouél and means "God with us," Immanuel, a name of Christ.

Immanuel =   עִמָּ֫נוּאֵ֫ל is the original Hebrew word. In the Hebrew it is pronounced Immanuel and means "with us is God," the name of a child.

Under the power and inspiration of the Holy Spirit, God, through the Prophet Isaiah prophesy the conception and virgin birth of JESUS hundreds of years before it happened.

Through the Prophet Isaiah, God made a "PROMISE" that HAS come to fruition!

LOOK AT GOD!

Psalm 1:1-6 Walk Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly

Psalm 1: 1-6 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season; its leaf will not wither, and whatever he does will prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,but the way of the ungodly will perish.

It is with urgency in these evil days in which we live that you seek Godly counsel and not the world's advise or opinions. Seek not counsel from the ungodly.

People everywhere are giving advise about this and about that. You better make sure that you are lining up all advise you receive side by side with the word of God to make sure it lines up with what the Word of God says for it not, you are wasting your time spinning your wheels.

Today is the day to live as wise and not as a fool. Ephesians 5:15-Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise.

Proverbs 4:7-Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding.

God and HIs Word is one. Therefore, "Truth" is found in the Word of God alone.

God bless.
