2 Kings 20:1-2 Get Your House In Order

2 Kings 20:1-2- In those days Hezekiah became ill and was near death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.”

2 Then he turned his face toward the wall and prayed to the Lord, saying,3 “Please, O Lord, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with an undivided heart and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

"Get your House In Order!"

This was the message from God through the Prophet Isaiah to King Hezekiah who was sick unto death.  Oh what a message to deliver.

Hezekiah received a warning that said "get your house in order" because death is knocking at your door.

Having heard the voice of God through the Prophet, Hezekiah prayed to God. 

Because King Hezekiah made God the #1 priority in his life, God showed him favor and mercy by adding 15 more years to his life. 

Getting "our house in order" MUST become a priority in all of our lives.

The question to be answered on today by all of us is when our time come to die, "will our house be in order?"

Our birth date can be estimated almost down to the wire, but not our death date. The minute, day  and hour of our death is unknown to man, but known to God. Job 14:5 A person's days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.

The bible declares that there will be a 2nd coming of Christ. When? We do not know. Jesus will be coming as Judge this time. When he comes will He find your "house in order?"

Today is the day of salvation. Now is the acceptable time. Now is the time to get 'your house in order!" Romans 10:9 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.

The warning has come to you too on today. What are you going to do? By faith through Christ Jesus, accept and confess Him as your Lord and Savior, or, deny Him?

I can only hope and pray that today is the day that you put into action, the steps needed in getting your house in order for night is coming to all of us.

Will you be ready? Will your house be in order?

God bless.

Psalm 121 Lift Up Your Eyes Unto The Hills

Psalm 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

James 1:12 ENDURE

James 1;12-Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he is tried, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

To endure under pressure and temptation is not easy, but it is the place where we are being called to come to in our lives when faced with trials and tribulations. 

Indeed, the path of a Christian life is not an easy path to walk.  No, it is not a cake walk nor a walk in the park. Life itself is full of all kinds of temptations, test and trials that can either leave us feeling up or down, depending on our view of them.

 As a personal testimony, I believe that God allowed my sufferings, test and trials to grow me into the likeness of Christ, which was His original intent when He created us.

The pain from the testing did not feel good, but it produced in me a spirit of humility, increased faith, trust, hope and dependency on God like never before. 

I could not and still can not endure the fiery dots that life throws at me without the help of God's Word, prayer  and His Holy Spirit. If it was not for the Lord's help, I probably would be in a mental institution, not knowing who I am. BUT GOD!!!!

There is an old adage that says "no cross, no crown. No pain, no gain."  Have you eve heard these statements before? I am sure we all have.

The writer of this text reminds us of the reward for those who endure the testing of their faith for He said "blessed is the one that endures for he or she will receive the crown of life from God which is promised to those who not only endure, but those who love God."

When trials and temptation comes we must be persistent in prayer by faith and meditation on the Word of God.

Are you being tested right now? Are you feeling the effects of your battles? Do you feel as though there is no way out?

Happy is the man or woman that endures temptation, for when he or she is tried by the fires of life they not only pleases God,  but they also receives God's approval.

Remember the promise! THE CROWN OF LIFE IS GOD’S REWARD FOR THOSE THAT PERSEVERE UNDER TRIALS and not those that give up and quit.

God bless.

Colossians 3:17 THANK YOU LORD

Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

We are commanded to let the peace of God rule in our hearts for this is what we have been called to as the body of Christ. (2) be thankful, (3) Let the Word of Christ dwell richly in us, (4) whatever we do, do it as unto the Lord.

Today is indeed a day of thanksgiving unto the Lord our God for truly He is, has been and will forever be good to His people.

People of God, when we look back over our lives and see all the mountains, valleys, ditches, trenches, heartaches, sickness, oppositions, persecution, financial hardships, emotional shipwrecks God has brought us through, all the hurt, harm and dangers God has protected us from and brought us through, we MUST Him thank you. 

Through dangers seen and unseen has the Lord brought us.

Let today be the day that you meditate on God and His Love for you and tell Him THANK YOU.

God's love for humanity proved itself at the cross on Calvary over 2k years ago. TELL THE LORD THANK YOU!

Tell God thank you people of God. Scripture declares "let everything that has breath praise ye the Lord".

The Lord our God is great and greatly to be praised.

 THANK YOU LORD!! THANK YOU LORD!! THANK YOU LORD!!!

God bless you all.

Jeremiah 33:3 It's The Invitation Is To Call On God "NOW"

Jeremiah 33:3-Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.

Time and time again, through the Prophet Jeremiah God sent messages of warning to His people to turn back to Him and time and time again they turned a deaf ear and refused to repent and turn from their evil ways.

In this text, the Prophet Jeremiah is in prison. I am sure as a man of God, he had some thoughts of confusion, uncertainty, despair and pain.

Whatever Jeremiah was experiencing mentally in the midst of all the chaos around him, he still hears from the Lord by way of an invitation to “PRAY”.

This same invitation is ringing loud around the world in every nation.

The world is in desperate need of the Lord. America is in desperate need of God. There is an urgent need in American for a coming together of the "body of Christ" to "call upon the Lord" for not only does scripture declares that God will hear and answer us and show us mighty things we have never seen, but we are also told in James 5:16b-the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

God invites you on today to "Come and call upon His name" for He promises to hear you and show you great and mighty things you do not know.

Whatever the need or issue may be in your life as your arise this morning, the invitation is to “COME AND CALL” upon the Lord for He promises to hear you, answer you and show you GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS which you do not know.

CALL ON THE LORD TODAY FOR HE IS WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU!

God bless.

Galatians 6:7 Deception Is Real

Galatians 6:7-Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.

The Apostle Paul warns all of us in this text "be not deceived." Be not lead astray by ourselves or anyone else into thinking that a lie is truth and truth is a lie.

Because of deception, many have been lead to believe that the Gospel is a lie.

Satan deceived eve in the garden into believing that God said one thing when He said another.

Many today are still being deceived into believing the lies of satan and denying the truth of God's Word.

Many have been lead to believe that they can live any way they want to, do what they want to whomever they want,  it did not matter if they willfully practice a lifestyle of evil and are wicked in their hearts, all they have to do is trust in their good works and not in Christ by faith and they are on their way to heaven. IT IS A LIE FROM SATAN!! IT IS CALLED DECEPTION!!

Be not deceived into thinking that we can work out our soul salvation. The price for our sins has already been paid by Christ Jesus over 2k years ago. All we have to do is believe it by faith.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, 9 not of works, so that no one should boast

Deception is real! The sad part about is the fact that many are not even aware of how they are being deceived on a daily basis by satan to believe and operate in his lies instead of God's truth.

The world is filled with people who have been deceived, people who think that the lie is the truth and the truth is the lie. That is why so few people care anything about the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. They have been deceived into thinking that the Gospel is the lie.

When one is mocking God, they turn up their nose or sneer at Him. That is what they do when they have been deceived. They sneer and laugh at God.  They make fun of God.

There is danger in being lead away in our mind to a place of deceiving ourselves into thinking that we can sin and do whatever we want to do and that there would be no consequences.

God is not mocked! To mock God is to disrespect, dishonor, ignore and deny His existence. 

There are consequences for ignoring God and willfully choosing sin.

The Word of God must be lived out in our lives. Talking one thing and living another? You will reap what you sow!

Man can ignore, disobey, discredit, deny, reject curse, disrespect God and His "Word" all he wants, but there is no exception to God's written Word.

In spite of what or whom we choose to believe or believe in, the "WORD" of God stands. 

God and His Word are one. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Merry go round! In other words, what goes around, comes around. Remember, deception is real! 

Remember the Word of the Lord our God on today. He is not to be mocked for what you sow is what you will reap!

God bless.

Proverbs 1:8-19 Embrace Godly Wisdom

Proverbs 1:8-19  My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother; 9 for they will be a garland of grace on your head, and chains about your neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. 11 If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; 12 let us swallow them up alive as the grave, and whole, as those who go down into the pit; 13 we will find all kinds of precious possessions;we will fill our houses with spoil; 14 cast in your lot among us, let us all have one purse”—15 my son, do not walk in the way with them, keep your foot from their path; 16 for their feet run to evil and make haste to shed blood

17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. 18 They lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives. 19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain, which takes away the life of its owners.

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

God bless.

Psalm 37:1-Stand Firm In God's Word In The Midst Of Evil

Psalm 37:1-2 Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be jealous of those who do injustice. 2 For they will quickly wither like the grass, and fade like the green herbs.

The call to the believers today is to "STAND FIRM" in the Word of God and what we know to be true in it. Evildoers will face God’s judgment and wrath!

Regardless of how foolish or naive you may look to the enemy, stand firm people of God.

The truth of the matter is the Holy Spirit has already revealed them to us through scripture. 

As we look around in our world today, we see acts of evil, evidence of evil and evil doers in just about every realm of life. Trust God and do good, commit your way unto the Lord, rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.

The enemy of our mind (doubt and fear) wants us to believe that evil is winning and flourishing with the natural eyes, but God through His Word and Spirit reminds us that evil and it's doers will one day be done away with.

God never said that the "weapon called evil" won't form against us, but He did say "IT WILL NOT PROSPER"!

God bless, and do tell the Lord thank you for our God, the Lord God declares to His people on today that "VENGEANCE IS MINE!"

In the words of my Pastor, Rev. Isaac J. Holt, Jr. "HIM ABLE!"
